Find product key Windows 8 on a computer that does not start
I bought a laptop Lenovo, a little over a year and all of a sudden, he started a loop when I try to turn it on. The computer seems to want to start with the Lenovo logo and then I get a blue screen with an irritating "your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart." We are only collecting the error information and then we'll restart for you. : ("message and then the computer restarts and does it again and again and and more.")
I brought my friend who is a technician and he said that I need the product key Windows 8 to create the Recovery Disk/USB. So I checked the area in which my laptop has been delivered to and there is no product key is located. Is it possible to find even if my computer does not start? I can access the configuration screen, but I can't find anywhere here either.
Any help with this would be really appreciated.
Thank you

With Windows 8, Microsoft changed stickers that have the product key that the user must type in during the installation of the operating system of new embedded BIOS product key. The idea is that by eliminating the tile, you eliminate one of the easiest ways for nefarious users get a legitimate product key. The sticker also eliminating product key removes any concern that the vignette could get damaged while at the same time eliminating the long and irritating the process of typing in various letters and numbers in the installation of the operating system.
If the user has to reinstall the operating system on a computer with Windows 8, the installation process automatically captures key software product of the motherboard BIOS without input from the user. This means that these stickers familiar windows product key will no longer appear on Windows 8 computers.
You must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 8, if its not functional, you should ask a Lenovo recovery media:

Computers laptops Lenovo include a function called the Lenovo OneKey Recovery button, which is used to boot into the recovery environment and to reinstall Windows.
If this does not work, contact technical support

NEED to recover files from the xp computer that does not start.
I changed startup on an old xp computer programs and now it does not start (I can accidentally put driver not run at startup). blue screen; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8992528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) xp sp3 no safe mode without recovery does Center no disc. I just bought a computer to try to recover the information with win 7 but can not slave the drive to him because it is ide and the new computer is too modern. I need to save files are important on the xp computer is it possible to save them?
I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...
-Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
-It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
-If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
-In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
-Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
-Here are the most common options that I can think of:
-SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
-If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
-If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system! If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

How can I fix computer that does not start after the fan turns phase?
I have a Compaq Presario SR5510F PC, Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Athlon x 2. Lately, my computer is even worse at the start. When my computer starts, the fan should run for a few seconds, then it should stop and lead at the start with Compaq logo screen. But lately, the startup was completely terrible for my computer. Today, most of the time when I press the button in the box of the computer, the fan turns on and it continues to turn, and nothing comes on the screen. It isn't that rarely when the fan stops running, but then the monitor displays always upwards in white and VERY rarely when the startup screen appears, then it freezes on this screen. At this rate, my computer is totally useless when it does nothing but run his fan. This means that I can not go to boot options at all and go to the "last good configuration". What can I do to fix the computer when I can't have anything with her while she is empty?
It sounds like a hardware problem, not a software problem. If the computer rarely gets past the BIOS (material audit) stage of the startup sequence, then Windows is is not yet involved in the boot process again. Request assistance from someone trained in the skills of troubleshooting hardware since this can become very expensive very quickly.

Like I said, it could be any file requiring a restore of the system to access what has been its permissions modified by malware. If I was at that time, I would declare my compromised machine and reinstall Windows completely. If you are determined not to reinstall, you can use a tool such as Microsoft "Process Monitor" that will display all the queue access that occur when you run the program. You may be able to locate the file that is being denied access, but you're going to be turning to sift through a large amount of data.
Good luck and hope this helps.

Windows does not start normally, just run chkdsk again and again
First test the hard drive to make sure it's healthy. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.
If the hard drive then passes the physical tests, safe mode:
Start > run > cmd [Enter]
fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]This will tell you if the disc is dirty or not. Then always in cmd:
chkntfs /x c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]
This tells Windows not not to check this drive at startup. Reboot and it should go on the desktop. Once Windows loaded, run cmd and:
Chkdsk /f /r c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]
CHKDSK will run through all 5 steps. After that it's over, always in cmd:
fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]
to see that the dirty bit is not set on this drive.
