    Hello

    Error code 24 characters for the (overall) Long drive self test would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

    If your PC is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  • SPLASH SCREEN doesn't show Windows 7 as an option

    original title: SPLASH SCREEN

    HEY HELLO

    I INSTALLED WIN 7 RTM ULTIMATE EDITION

    MY PC HAS 0 2S: WIN XP & WIN 7 IN DIFFERENT PARTITIONS

    WHEN I REBOOTED WIN 7 THE START SCREEN FOR WIN 7 HAS CHANGED IN WINDOWS VISTA

    PLZZZZZZZZ HELP ME TO RESTORE WIN 7 BOOT SCREEN

    SORRY FOR THE BAD ENGLISH

    PLEASE HELP

    Go to start / computer / system properties and check what is installed.  If she says Windows7, I can't explain the message of Vista.  If it says that Vista, so maybe the disc is mislabeled and you have really installed Vista.

    Although it shows like Win Vista, it is a problem of Windows7, because that's what you are trying to install (unless the drive is mislabeled - then you need to get a replacement drive).  Please repost your question in the Forums Windows7:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

    Good luck!

  • my computer won't past the splash screen. She claims system not found, check the cable. I have windows on my Acer laptop base.

    After I press start, the splash screen appears briefly, then a black screen stating:
    Pre-boot EXecution Environment (PXE) v2.1
    PXE - E61:Media test failure, check cable
    PXE - MOF: exit ROM PXE.
    Operating system not found

    ·       Try to remove your hard drive and unplug the cable.  Then re - attach the cable and re - install the HDD.  Somehow, the cable may have come loose and it may solve the problem.  If this does not work, follow these steps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.


    Note
    If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    Nope - the splash screen uses the lowest possible resolution so that it will show regardless of monitor, card used graphic, video system or TV.  This is basically the "infallible" mode
