  • Equium A110-233: HDD - no HARD drive boot failure

    My Toshiba Satellite A110-233 decided its had enough. Basically when you switch on you get the Toshiba first screen with the options to press F2 or F12. When you select one of these it bascially says please wait and goes no further. We have F2 (twice) and a message pops up saying that it was not a hard drive.

    When you view the list of devices in the Bios the hard drive does not appear. We can't even use the recovery disc you need to press F12, that we cannot do. Laptop is about six months. To be honest, we really don't care about information stored on it because most of our documents, photos etc are on the main PC.

    We do not know what to do. Can someone advise/help?

    Hello

    Chances are that your drive HARD must be changed. Bring it to your ASP and ask them to test it. They'll probably change the HARD drive and reinstall OS then it will be like new. Good luck and have a nice day.

  • Try to install Windows XP and at the start of the drive I get the error message: Disk Boot Failure

    Disk Boot Failure

    I recently learned that so that my motherboard compatible with my operating system, I have need to uninstall the current one and install Windows XP. I use Windows 7, so I booted from this CD and deleted all the partitions and data (nothing is important there), then I went to start my new Windows XP CD and it says "Disk Boot Failure... etc.

    I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD, seeing as the other CD has worked to boot from, it doesn't seem to be a problem with my drive. I can't understand. Maybe it's a dodgy CD?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

    My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

    It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

    One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

    Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

    At the recovery console command line, type:

    Chkdsk /r

    When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

    Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Hi Kim,
     
    -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
     
    If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
    • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
    • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
    • You don't have any boot device
    • You have installed a new hard drive
    • The hard drive is not properly connected
    • Your system files have been infected

    Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

    system boot failure

    Hello

    Your question does contain all of the required information. Please provide us with the following information.

    1. what changes have been made on the computer until you have encountered the problem?

    2. who is the manufacturer of the computer?

    3. did you reinstall of Windows or recovery CD/DVD drive?

    4 is detected in the BIOS setup?

    The question could be attributed to several factors, including a failed hard drive or the corruption of the operating system. You can always try these steps and see if that eliminates the problem:

    1 disconnect all external equipment connected to the computer, except the monitor, keyboard and mouse, and then restart the computer

    2. check if the hard drive is properly plugged in.

    3. the power supply for the hard drive is fine.

  • Vista 64-bit, DISK BOOT FAILURE

    So I have this Acer Aspire AX3200-U3600A with Windows Vista (64-bit). Every night I turn it off and turn it back on in the morning.

    About three weeks ago, I did a factory fresh reimage. Good as new.

    Then about two days ago, when I turned it on, I noticed it was running extremely slow. As in, he would often freeze while I had several applications open when it froze usually never upward. So I decided to restart my computer. Big mistake.

    My computer froze right after that I clicked on stop. I waited some time. Nothing. Waited a few minutes. Nope. I decided to stop it by pressing the power button. Here is where the problems begin.

    When I turned it back on, I saw the bar logo and loading of Windows, and then load to black. I turned it off again with force by the power button / stop and then once more... then I got:

    AMD data change... Update new data on a DMI interface!

    then later clears the screen and I get:

    AHCI Option ROM BIOS revision: 01.05.92 Date: 19/02/2008 Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Phoenix Technologies, LTD. Port 01: Reset Port error! Port 02:

    then the screen clears again, but this time it loads from the bottom:

    NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542 (copyright stuff... blah blah) PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: Released Nvidia Boot Agent DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.

    So, I try to go to Safe Mode. Well, first it loads faster. After it loads disk.sys fromwindows/pilots, he waits a while (2-3 minutes) and THEN load. However, it loads the Acer eRecovery Management Tool. I have three options: reset the computer to factory, restore the backup of the user, or output. However, the upper part, two options are gray and disabled so that the output is in blue and certainly clickable. Secure mode so obviously isn't here...

    A strong thing to note: Initially when this all started, I made a start Windows Normal pressing f8 and I arrived at my office! It me logged in. I could see the icons on my files. However, my office was extremely slow as in when I clicked on the start menu, he'd wait awhile, and then load the menu with JUST the gradient, no text or icons... so as you can see... He saw my HARD drive?

    Also, before anyone says, I no. plugged USB. My mouse and keyboard are not entered USB, I assure you. And it came without a recovery CD AND when I went into the BIOS, to change the BOOT ORDER, I have NOT seen a CD-ROM option. And when I tried pressing ALT + F10 to enter Acer eRecovery Management, the options of two albums have been disabled as well.

    But sometimes, on startup, I get:

    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a USB external drive when the appliance is used, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    Status: 0xc00000e9

    Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

    Then I tried the last known good Configuration settings, which gives me a BSOD.

    What should I do

  • disk boot failure

    My HARD drive is not starting at all, he says: «Disk Boot failure, press ctrl + alt + delete to restart»

    I think you dΘmarrez not on the disc - you always start on the hard drive.  I don't think the drive would never generate this message unless you were trying to do instead of a repair installation (do not install it because I do not know if it will make things worse).  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.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • XPS 8500 disc boot failure

    Twice in the past four weeks, my computer would be locked up in the morning. I had to cut the power and it reboot OK. Now all of a sudden, I get a boot failure of the disk on the 2 TB drive. I'm running Windows 7 Pro - where I was before the accident.

    I tried to start Windows Recovery and he complained that it could not be fixed corruption"ACL."

    I don't know about you, but I sure see a lot of SATA disk failures. It's scary. I've got good backups.

    Advice what I should do next? Pointing me to an operating instructions would be greatly appreciated.

    I did F12 at startup and run extended test. It failed with the message:

    ERROR CODE: 2000-01 42

    I would add that it's still on the 3 month warranty.

  • Boot failure?

    I have a boot failure problem. Everything I tried didn't do anything. When I try to start up, I get a message saying a problem has been detected and I should run the Startup Repair for this problem. I did and found a problem with startup repair but it not able to determine what it was and, of course, could not fix. Well, it has been suggested that I have run CHKDSK in Cmd prompt. He said that my system has been implemented as an NTFS partition and so write Protected(don't know how to get around that). I think that may be what prevents "Startup Repair" to identify the real problem, I don't know. I also tried the system restore, but it keeps doing and saying the same thing.

    I bought this laptop used a few years ago and had no problems. It just happened suddenly 2 days ago. No new hardware or software. The seller did not have the disk of windows so that can't help. But I've read a few people who have the same problem, no answers or solutions for the fix.

    Any help would be great.

    OS: Windows 7

    Acer Aspire 5336

    Hello TeriButler,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem you are facing a lot of problem with your computer and Windows 7 stuck on the loop of auto repair. The question might be if there is a file system corruption. So I would say that you want to run auto repair before you reinstall the operating system. To perform the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.

    Method 1

    When you use the recovery (Windows RE) environment to resolve startup problems, first try the Startup Repair option in the System Recovery Options dialog box. If this does not resolve the problem, or if you have additional problems manually, use the Bootrec.exe tool.

    Because you cannot start the computer, you may need to create a bootable Windows installation media, and then do an auto repair, and if this does not help then you try to restore your computer to the previous date.

    Note: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    If you are using Windows 7 then the link provided below might help you to download and create installation media.

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/Windows-7-direct-download/9b865191-3726-49D1-8f2f-a83b74585499

    Method 2

    Try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool.

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

    1. Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    3. Click repair your computer.

    4. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

    5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    6. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    See the following link for more information:

  • Fees ESXi 5 installation - Disk Boot Failure

    I've just set up a new unit.  8 core processor, 32 RAM, 1 TB HD.  I'm stuck trying to install VMware ESXi 5.  using motherboard Gigabyte GA - a 970 - UD3.

    Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press ENTER, is the message he said after loading OS...

    I threw in an old dell windows reinstall the cd to see if it bypassed this error, and he did.

    I tried another file .iso of another copy of windows, and he gave me the same error as the esxi disk 5.

    Any ideas?  Is it possible that my motherboard does not recognize the iso files as bootable files?

    P.S. I have to keep my HD unplugged, b/c when its im plugged by getting "NTLDR is missing, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" error message.  Im hoping once I have esxi installed, I can update all drivers and get rid of this error, so that I can load it from the hard drive.

    Welcome to the community,

    Is it possible that my motherboard does not recognize the iso files as bootable files?

    When you burn a CD, do not burn the ISO as a file on this CD, but use the "Burn Image" of the CD burning application.

    However, it is now a boot failure beyond the Vista login screen and everything stops instantly.

    Several attempts to start with or without battery or only connected to a power outlet and it is beyond the 'press or ... '. "screen and then stops. No beep.

    If it remains beyond this screen, I get the beep as described above.
    If I remove the RAM it does not show anything on the screen or beep somehow.

    In all cases, that the upward light cooling fan, stay on for a few seconds, then stop, then the laptop dies or keep trying to load Windows and then shuts down immediately. If it becomes quite far as it beeps again in the same range as described above.

    The wind side allows me to see the heat sink and it seems clear of debris and I had no cases of overheating.
    Without no beeps error or other symptoms I don't see what is really bad or anything to verify.
