• The following error during the installation of Windows: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  Help, please! Installing Windows Interrupted!

  Hi recently my computer was giving me a bit of concern for example (running slow, do not easily light etc...). A couple of days, my computer has decided not to put on after a glance on the net (on my other computer), I found I had a problem call KSoD or black screen of death, therefore I went on youtube and made all the different things said youtubers can fix this how ever none of these things worked, so finally I decided that I would have factory reset my computer/windows to using the system restore. However, at half way through the installation of windows after the factory reset (my computer came with no disk Windows), my computer has decided to remove what I believe to be called a blue screen of death, that this happened before and I thought it was part of the installation but when I turned my computer on he showed at the bios screen , but then it said 'unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: 1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click Next. "3 click on repair your computer ' all this is very well apart from the fact that I do not have the windows installation disc. I'm stuck at this screeni however have a disc of windows 7 and that he was going to install windows7 after I got my vista Setup! but the only I see is the bio screen so I was wondering if there was some way I could install windows 7 from the bios or simply delete the entire half installed this error files windows vista from the bios screen? Please, any help is greatly appreciated. Or get a new internal HDD would fix the problem aswell?

  If I try to boot from the DVD of ROM(with Windows Visata) to reinstall the operating system to Windows Vista, it does not.

  Please I need your help

  Have you changed the boot order:

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  See you soon.

  1 1 demarrer start from the Windows 7 DVD, select your language and keyboard options, select repair your computer, and then select command line.

  2. from the command prompt, run the following command:
  DISM image:c:------/ Get-Packages

  This will produce a list of updates installed and packets.  They will look like this:

  The package identity: Package_for_KB978262 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ x 86 ~ ~ 6.1.1.0
  Status: installed
  Output type: security update
  Install time: 02-11-2010 13:01

  3. find the most recent and then make a note of the identity of the package.

  4 run:

  DISM image:c:------/ Remove-Package /PackageName:Package_for_KB978262~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.1.1.0 (name of the update from the previous step)

  Until it is complete, you will get a status of the collection.

  5. restart your PC.

  You want to start with the most recent, and then remove them one at a time to find the problem update Dena

• Windows could not start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause, it happened

  Happened after I accidentally disconnected my mouse then after I plugged it again, it didn't work so I had to reboot then it happened

  Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it, but unfortunately it did not work. It seems that my computer does not recognize the key f8 for a reason, but on the contrary it the f10 (boot menu), the f12 (boot pxe) and f2 (BIOS menu) arose and none of this fits your description. Fortunately my computer managed to solve the problem in itself. Once again, thank you for the reply.

• Windows XP does not start in a dual-boot system

  I have a Windows XP and Linux Mint 10 Julia on separate partitions in a dual boot system. Windows has been installed first, followed by Linux. Initially, the two worked, then, for some reason any I had to reinstall Linux. Now I can't get into Windows.
  I can't enter the recovery by using the Windows CD Mode if that helps.
  GIA

  booting from cd is not always the best way to start an operating system installed on disk 0, for example drive C.

  Yes, the default value for fixboot will always be the first drive to the motherboard, regardless of how many additional hard disks are installed.  It is the way windows is designed to be.  but in all fairness, you can start windows via a USB key with recent technology created by hp.com

  also, if the disk check found a few errors then it means that there are corrupt or missing files.

  so, at the command prompt go ahead and Run fixmbr, fixboot, bootcfg /rebuild and a chkdsk/r

  You can also type help at the command prompt to get the details of the above.
