File Checker system without the Vista installation DVD

Hello

Recently, I've been fixing a few problems with the OS (Vista 64 Home Premium) on my computer (HDX 1180ew). In an e-mail message containing a solution of possible problem, Microsoft support person suggested that it would be desirable to run the File Checker system (sfc/scannow command) that she "raise" files broken system, the restoration of their correct versions.
Unfortunately, the SFC requires a DVD to be present in order to restore the Vista installation files. I got my computer with preinstalled operating system and do not have this DVD.
Is there no workaround solution allowing to launch SFC and repair system files? Maybe HP recovery disks can contain files needed?

Kind regards

Well, actually I didn't because I read a lot of articles and messages saying that it is impossible without a DVD. Even the guys at Microsoft said that I needed the disc.
But if you say the opposite - I'll check it, thank you.

Yet one thing, is there a risk that running SFC will mess up my installed programs or the system configuration?

Yes, you will be fine without the disc.  It will not mess up your installed programs/system config... It simply scans your Windows files to ensure that they are not corrupted... then replace / repair of damage files it finds.

    > Is it possible to restore the operating system without the DVD?
    This is possible only if the second partition and HARD disk recovery file has not changed

    Start the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure by pressing the F8 key.
    A start menu should appear, then you should choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then it should open a new window with an option called Toshiba recovery.
    Choose that and usually drive HARD recovery must begin.

  • Satellite L350 restarts on the Vista installation

    Hey, my friend gave me his L350-145 (PSLD0E-00U00YGR) to reinstall Vista, because the system was full of Ad - and malware. He bought it on Ebay so there was no CD/DVD and booklet included and Partition Recovery is already deleted. I'm a veteran Windows so I reinstalled systems 100 times, but this one gives me the shiver.

    I created a 32-bit Vista installation DVD, following a Step - by Step Guide without any problem and formatted the drive using "Partition Wizard". 80 GB primary NTFS 'SYSTEM' and 2 logical NTFS. I reboot the system with the Vista DVD in the drive and "Windows loading files...". "- the screen apears. Installation of Vista starts propper and I select the country and language. Insert-Windows-key-screen appears and I start to type in the key. The screen turns to black and colored stripes and the system hangs or suddenly reboots without any promt somewhere on the way. It does the same thing after a few moments, if I not touch anything after the "Windows loading files...". ' - screen.

    I checked the BIOS settings, everything seems to be in order.
    I took the DVD from the drive and waited for the "no boot device" - screen for a gel or a reset... nothing.
    I started "Partition Wizard" and waited... nothing.
    This only happens after you start the installation of Vista... sooner or later.

    I'm at the end of my know how.

    Any idea?... pleeeaaase.

    welcome them

    For me, this looks like hardware problem. Something like GPU overheating or something like that.
    Of course I can't say it for sure.
    All you can do is make some small tests to see what happens and try to find out what could be the reason for this.
    > This only happens after you start the installation of Vista... sooner or later.
    Windows-old fighter you can test with, for example from another version of Windows. Try to install Windows7.
    If possible try to speak with your friend and get another HARD drive. You can try to swap the HDD and check if the same thing will happen again.

    I installed different versions of Windows on different machines and I've never noticed anything like that. Some hardware, it must be related issue.

  • Problem reading Captivate 6 on Vista installation DVD

    I just got my copy of Captivate 6 on a DVD for Windows. I would like to install 6 Captivate on a PC running Windows Vista 64-bit service pack 2.

    My DVD player can not open the installation DVD to start even the installation. Is there a way I can install 6 Captivate on my system?

    PS - I already paid for this copy of Captivate 6.

    Well, it is a mystery. After asking the question, I downloaded and installed the trial version and then used the product code for the version purchased to get a serial number. It worked.

    I also tried on the installation DVD on another computer with Windows 7, and he began to autorun as expected.

    I then returned to my PC Vista, inserted a former Acrobat DVD installation, which began in the autorun as expected. I removed the Acrobat installation DVD and inserted the new Captivate 6 installation DVD, and magically it started autorun this time.

    It must have been my optical drive, but I don't know why he read the DVD this time and not others.  (Never had any error message. The computer just did not read all the data on the disc and was always looking for media to be inserted. "Maybe something is slightly misaligned?)

    In any case, the problem is resolved and the software is installed and registered. Thanks for your reply.

    System File Checker is not a universal solution, but it can help in certain situations.

    You really ned to determine the nature of the error before deciding on solutions.

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Select the Details tab and check the box in front of the XML view. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

  • Stuck on "Checking system" during the installation of the driver. J4580 all-in - One Printer, Windows 8 64-bit

    Hi all

    I have no idea why it doesn't work. For always remains in stage "verification system. There is no bar of progression, just an of these in loop task bars, so I can't say if something is really installation. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Thank you!

    Janek

    Hello again,

    I followed the steps and even once, it did not work. However, I found a solution

    I tried to install the software after I cleaned the temp folder and did a clean boot, but the same questions redoubled. I opened the Task Manager and I force closed "HP Installer re-install Plug In (32 bit). This caused an error that caused the installer to uninstall/delete anything on my computer. When I tried to install the software after that, it worked. Clearly there is something already on the system at the origin of a problem.

    Thanks again for your help!

  • with the Vista installation error: bootmgr.c

    The system:
    AMD Phenom x 4 9450
    4 GB of ram
    300 GB SATAII
    PATA DVD - RW
    Win Vista Ultimate x 64

    Error occurs when you attempt to repair the installation of windows vista.

    The system worked very well.  I put a Server 2 k 8 installation disc, to capture an error message I received some time ago.  Once I got the error message, I took the 8 2 k disk out and restarted.  Vista appeared be started normally, but when going in the loading bar, to black, and then to load the cursor, the system just stayed black (white screen).  There is no error message, just a white screen.  The screen is not time and sleep, as if there is a lack of signal; He remains alive.

    So I put in my Vista installation disc to do a repair. The installation disc comes at the end of "loading files", and when the installer would normally load, I get an error instead.

    Source: d:\vistartm\base\boot\environ\app\bootmgr\bootmgr.c
    Situation: 0xc0000225
    Line: 1496
    Info: An unexpexted error has occurred.
    ******

    I tried this with different drives and even with the drive disconnected.  I checked the installation disc will load normally on another PC.  Any thoughts\ideas as to what this error is trying to tell me?

    Wow, I was hoping this would be the DVD drive.  The only place from there is controllers and cables, then eventually the motherboard.

    Given that you receive the error without the hard drive is connected and the media works on other systems, we roamed outside what I'm allowed to support in this forum, but I was hoping that we would identify the material defective and much faster.

    My apologies for not being able to help you solve this problem, but if the system is still under warranty, it's a contact in good time the hardware manufacturer.

    If you ultimately identify what is the cause, thanks for posting this information here.  I would really like to know what is the source of this error.

  • HOW CAN I GET A NEW COPY OF THE VISTA INSTALLATION DISC?

    SON HAS INSTALLED AN OLDER VERSION OF TEST OF WINDOWS 7 AND ITS A MESS AND I CAN'T FIND MY INSTALLATION FOR MY VISTA HOME PREMIUM DISC. ANY HELP?

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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.

    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

  • [SOLVED] Help fixing 'file two systems with the same uuid were detected.

    I have a Setup ESXi embedded (installed on a USB key connected to the internal USB port) on a Dell T710 with few of the SAS drives.  I tried the upgrade to 4.0 - 294855 to 4.1 - 348481 by following the instructions here via:

    esxupdate--bundle=/vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/path/to/upgrade-from-esxi4.0-to-4.1-update01-348481.zip update

    Even if it is done correctly, when I restarted I got a purple screen with this message on this subject:

    The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue.

    Two systems with the same UUID files have been detected.  Make sure that you do not have two installations of ESXi.

    So, he tried to update one of the SAS drives internal versus inside USB key...?

    I studied this time before & found a threadwhere posted to help, but it wasn't enough to get me going.  Tonight, I found KB1035107 which details how to fix this, but I have a few concerns:

    • How can I identify the drive that has the invalid ESXi installation?
    • Better yet: How can I identify who / disc is the one with the ESXi installation I want to keep?
      • I know that I can use esxcfg-mpath-l., esxcfg-mpath-band esxcfg-scsidevs-l to collect the disk & LUN information.  But what happens if it wasn't a built-in installation?  If ESXi was installed on one of the SAS drives, how could I confirm which drive it actually installed on?
    • What is the worst that could happen with the performance he commands in the KB above?
      • Do I need to worry about migration whatever data is stored elsewhere there until I can get through this?

    Finally, and perhaps more important than these other issues:

    It is for me a way to specify which disk/drive/device to target when executing upgrades, more precisely from 4.0 to 4.1?

    How can I perform upgrades in the future without having to worry about this nonsense?  I don't want to have to disconnect from the LUN/warehouses of data whenever there is an upgrade (major or minor).


    Thank you very much.

  • cannot restore the system with the Vista recovery disc, computer stuck in step 3 of 3 loop

    Hi all

    My computer has been blocked in the formidable step 3 of 3 loop. I followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and created the Vista recovery disk. I loaded it and followed the instructions. Everything was fine. I chose a 5 days ago restore point, and it went well until he must "finalize the restoration of files...". ». That's where he stayed - it would not be completed. I tried the restore points different, all with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to make with her startup repair.

    With this CD, you can also do a startup repair of your Vista OS with it.

    If she can't do a startup repair and system restore has failed, it is time to consider doing a re-install of the Vista operating system.
