ESG a key to restart

XP on a HP Pavilion. Recently picked up a virus and worked with MS to solve. Finally decided to restore the hard drive by using the system recovery CD it works through 'prepare the recovery partition' and then a message appears "ESG a key to restart '.
What is c?
Why do I need to restart?

tucktale,
Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  If you use Windows XP retail CD while this link will guide you through the installation options: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316941.

It seems that if you use the OEM system recovery CDs are these different CD then the XP retail and the system restore feature is written by the manufacturer.  It may be that it loads the software it needs a partition and then you must restart from the partition at the end of the restoration.  You would be better served by checking with HP on the exact process of the system restore function.

  • Remove disks or other media.__Press press any key to restart

    Hello

    I've seen a few posts on this topic but not have been very useful.

    My computer (Dell Inspiron 2200) was relatively slow and I decided to reformat the machine.  After doing that it seems the hard drive was fried in the process that I have been unable to get the machine to boot properly after the reformatting process.  When I ran a diagnostic on the computer, a message was also discussed more leading to believe that this was the case.  This is why I took an old hard drive that I had and tried to use it on the machine.  I created a Windows startup disk by downloading the file and burn a disk.  I changed the order of BIOS to move the CD drive first on the list and the error "remove disks or other media."  " Press any key to restart" continues to be displayed.  Please help me

    Thank you

    It is extremely unlikely that any computer purchased at a store bought on this planet will be accompanied by a genuine XP installation CD bootable that can be used to start the XP Recovery Console.

    It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums is not any type of bootable XP media.

    It is extremely likely that the majority of the posters on the forums have never actually seen, possessed or otherwise come into contact with an XP bootable installation CD authentic in their lives, or if they already had in their possession, it is now nowhere to be found.

    I wonder why never support engineers offer this idea for the Recovery Console.

    (a) they do not know how
    (b) they are not allowed to post anything that isn't in a KB article
    (c) they are not allowed to post links to any place outside of Microsoft
    (d) your idea here

    You can make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    I was browsing the web when suddenly an error message came up saying ": () your PC of Ran into a problem and must restart." We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you (0% complete). If you want to learn more, you can search online later to this error.

About 5 seconds later, another black screen (just like the "[Failed] Media Control" screen came saying "No Boot Device Found, Click Any Key To Reboot Machine".) I follow on the orientation of the screen for about 5 minutes and it kept giving me the same screens over and over again, no change there view. So I turned off my laptop, waited 30 seconds, back running the computer and he gave "[Failed] Media Control" Message twice, he disappeared and the Dell splash screen came again, he let me not log my computer as usual. This happened to me twice now, and it's extremely frustrating, because now I can't be on my computer for more than a half hour at a time without him doing this again. Also I can't scan the computer for viruses, it's 15 minutes to finish scanning and I get the message 'PC Ran into A Problem'. Can someone please help me understand why this is happening?

    I apologize for the late response.

    What is the current status of the issue?

    Unplug all external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard and check for the issue.

    KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR error code indicates that the data page of the kernel of the required paging file cannot be read into memory. It could have happened due to graphics card drivers.

    If you now, it will be a breeze. Everything will work as before and you will always have your recovery partition.

  • When I try to reinstall Windows XP on my Toshiba laptop, it works until I reboot. Then it says nvrd32.sys not found: press any key to continue.

    original title: NVRD32. SYS ERROR

    When I try to reinstall Windows XP SP3 on my Toshiba laptop, it works until the first reboot. When I boot on CD it comes up saying nvrd32.sys is not found: press any key to continue. When I press a key it is said: the Installer failed. Press a key to restart your computer.

    So, I don't know what to do. I tried searching on google and found a set, but talk of computer that I couldn't begin to understand. Basically, what I consider somewhere or can I fix it myself? I just paid for a new disk of Windows XP SP3, so I'm not looking forward to having to pay someone to use it.

    Hello

    ·         Windows XP came preinstalled on your laptop?

    ·         If so, you have a recovery partition?

    ·         Where did you buy the disc of Windows XP SP3 for?

    nvrd32.sys file is a chipset driver and must be installed via floppy F6 during initial installation.

    Method 1: To do this, follow these steps.

    a. you can download the chipset drivers from Toshiba Web site and copy it to a floppy drive.

    b. press F6 at the start of the installation of Windows XP.

    c. follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers for the chipset.

    Method 2: You can contact Toshiba to restore to factory on the laptop.

  • Periodically remove the registry keys with the Task Scheduler?

    I wonder if it is possible to create a batch script or similar small program to periodically delete the registry keys, specifically:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "PastIconsStream".

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify]
    "IconStreams".

    A little history on why I want to do this:

    My computer is configured to dual boot (Vista and Fedora Linux), with a score of shared data.  I also use Dropbox for a group of records.  It complicates things with a system dual boot because the folder name is different in each system (vs My Dropbox Dropbox).  I worked around this by creating hubs and symbolic links in each operating system of 'real' folders to default Dropbox folders as appropriate.

    This works as expected. The only problem is that Windows Dropbox does not monitor files for changes and checks only when the program starts.  To work around this problem, I created a small script that kills Dropbox and scheduled to run every half hour using the Scheduler of tasks, followed by a task to start Dropbox.

    The only problem with this is that over time I find myself with hundreds of copies of the Dropbox icon in the status bar Notification area.  I found some instructions to reset the cache of the icon, which is to remove the two above mentioned registry keys and restart the Explorer.  So my question (finally!) is really about if there is a way to automatically reset it one or twice a day, rather than manually deleting the key each time that I remember.

    Of course, if there is a better/more way to deal with this, I'm happy to hear about it!

    Hi Mander,.

    Editing the registry, especially using a batch file and the Planner is, in my opinion, a little dangerous. After all, a bad move a your system registry key could easily be paralyzed.

    I don't really know if my suggestion would be to use or not, but it's worth a try. There is a (free) third-party application called CCleanerwww.ccleaner.com it effectively removes temporary internet files, history, cookies, index.dat file and a host of other things too. An option available in the "Advanced" tab Windows section is to clear the "tray notification cache. Do you think that this is likely to help solve your problem without needing to run a batch file? It's only a suggestion like the registry rated - is not my field, but, like I said the app will costs you nothing and it is certainly worth giving it a try. It can do what you want it to do. Just a suggestion!
