How to restore a computer using xp with missing ntldr.exe?

I am running Windows XP on 2 computers and on one of them whenever I try to boot after the boot menu, it says the file ntldr.exe is missing on your computer and which is necessary for starting. On the second computer I have, so I would be able to create a boot disk from that and set the BIOS to boot from the CD or something similar? I'm an experienced computer technician, so feel free to use the technique of terms ;)

    Hello! Will you please help me with options on how to restore my computer laptop hp 620 with windows 7. Its screen is broken, so I use an external monitor that does not display the setting procedure

    Luckies Hello,

    You may be able to switch monitors by holding the fn key and tapping on the F4 key at the beginning.

    The part that I don't know is if she will go outside without having first cut the broken screen.

    Some computers laptops will and some used. If you need to disconnect the screen first, you may not use the combo fn.

    Page 156 shows the disassembly of the screen in the manual.  emr_na-c02780494 - 1.pdf

    Also to access Recovery Mode, you press the ESC key to get an options screen, and then press F11. But I think you would need to first try the combo fn.

    Let me know how it goes.

    This article describes how to use the System Restore tool to restore your computer to a previous state. System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

    I can't restore my computer to this day of erlear

    As the forums MS Answers does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

    Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Also, we don't know what happens when you try to restore your computer - not to mention that it does not work!

    See how it works and answer questions, better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  Remember that the system restore is not a time machine.

    Have you ever used the system restore to restore your system in the past?

    Describe exactly what happens when you try to perform a system restore and the error messages you see which indicates that it does not work.

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.

    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:

    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...

    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:

    http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/sharedtech.nsf/pfdocs/2005113009323013

    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.

    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.

    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.

    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).

    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.

    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:

    Download, install, update, and make at least a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.

    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.

  • How to restore the computer to factory settings?

    I want to restore my computer back factory settings im tp do not know how to do that please inform me on what I do you solved the problem

    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

  • How to restart a computer that came with windows already installed.

    I have a desktop with windows 8, which was installed by the manufacturer.  It crashed and tried to reload winows 8 of microsoft. Recovery usb I downloaded from microsoft was trying to restart windows 8.   Initial start-up asked me the windows KEY.  The key is loaded into the bios but is not visible.  How can I regain access windows KEY?  Thank you

    You're telling me that the manufacturer could not / refuses to send you the installation media to restore their computer to condition "as delivered"?

    Who is the manufacturer?  I know that Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Toshiba, etc all have them set up programs to help users specifically with (this installation/recovery to get to their systems support) as they agreed (in their license agreement with Microsoft) provide a method for the end user to do exactly this.

    In many cases the 8/8.1 Windows product key is embedded in the BIOS at the factory for these machines.  You could read here on some methods for such a key - but honestly - you shouldn't have it (must be able to skip that part in installation and always get installed.):

    https://itsolutionsblog.NET/3-ways-to-extract-the-Windows-8-product-key/

    Otherwise, unless you provide the computer name of such manufacturer...  Here is the process for gt these media for some manufacturers:

  • How to restore my computer?

    Hello.

    I have a problem with my computer. I wanted to restore my computer for some reason. The problem is that a few days ago I opened it and almost all of the programs and applications have been removed and obviously I do not know why. Even when I open the menu start there no program in all the files in there.

    Need help!

    Hello Marti

    Your only option and of course the best way to resolve this strange matter, is recovery image installation.
    After that this laptop will be the same as on the first day after the purchase.

    Check the document posted by Timox. You will find detailed instructions on the installation of HARD drive recovery.
    If your computer starts correctly and everything will be ok if you please, as long as the first thing, create a recovery media and make backup recovery image. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.

    If something goes wrong with the recovery image saved on the HARD drive or the HARD drive is faulty, you will have media bootable recovery you can use for recovery image installation. It is very, very important for you.

    I hope that you will be able to reinstall the operating system on your machine. A few comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to restore my computer to its original settings

    I am selling my computer hwow can I remove power from her

    Depends on how paranoid you are, and if your computer is equipped with a provided by the manufacturer "restore hidden partition."

    When a computer manufacturer sells you a computer with Windows preinstalled, part of the Microsoft license agreement requires that it provides a way to reinstall the operating system.  In the old days, you will get a physical media (CD or floppy disks even), but for a number of years, manufacturers have been rather including hidden software on the disk hard drive that by operating, restores the computer to the way it was when it left the factory.

    How this restoration software is started depends on the brand and model of your computer.  See your user's Guide, go to the website of the manufacturer of the computer or identify the make and model in a response here.

    Running these software in general should replace anything currently on the hard disk, including your personal information.

    For more security, before running the software 'restore', you can delete any personal data that you know (there are still a few traces in the Windows registry and other locations of the system), and then run a utility that wipes free space and soft space on the disk.  See http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-secure-erase-utility.htm

    If you have a Windows installation CD to give to the buyer - or if you do not care to sell a computer without an operating system - download Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN).  This utility will erase safely any hard drive, including the operating system.

    The extremely paranoid, including some administrations in three letters, remove hard disks and either keep for reuse or physically destroy them (by cutting, drilling, or fusion).

  • How to restore my computer toshiba laptop out-of-box state?

    A few days ago I received a notification window report a problem with my operating system (although it's practically new) in my laptop Toshiba Satellite 15.6 "3 GB 320 HD. After not being able to open ALL the files in my office (ex: icon workstation), task bar (the ex icon) or even start menu (e.g. Control Panel), I decided to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration, when the problem was not present. At the end of the restore process, I received an error message. I restarted my laptop again and the problem continues (not being able to open the files, applications, or programs). I then decided to restore my laptop with the option of deleting is not my current data. Out of 47 process had to be done, my set up spun without progressing to the #3 / 47 (display of SMA - I think). Although I was warned not to disrrupt the process, I forced my laptop turned off after 30 minutes.

    Now, when I try to boot my laptop, I get a message that my computer is preparing for first use; When I get to the 'Welcome' screen, my session runs without procedure. After forcing my laptop off and restart my computer several times, I left my laptop computer spinning during the night and when I woke up, I could choose, "Administrator" or "guest user". When I click on "Administrator", a screen will appear indicating that I don't have permission to enter this environment. When I select "Guest user", I have to enter my username and password. Although I never created a password for this laptop, I'm not allowed to login without password.

    I am now trying to restore my computer laptop out-of-box settings, but when I try to hold F8 at startup, I don't have the option to select the recovery settings, as I already did when I tried to restore my laptop to an earlier configuration.

    For Toshiba, you press and hold "0" while turning on the computer...
