HP pavilion dv6103nr, windows xp media center edition, recovery

I get this error message "Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...". Please reinstall a copy of the above file' the file name changed after I tried a system restore and is currently \system32.hal.dll I tried several different things, but I'm still stuck on this black error screen, and windows does not start.  At the end of the day, I just want to get to all the photos on my old laptop that I'm kicking myself for not backup

My 10 year daughter, was the last who has used the laptop and said that she was just using ms word.

Here's what I've tried so far.

Hard reset

You press f10 to access the PhoenixBIOS Setup utility.  A go from there ran a "first hard drive Self Test" this reported success, but still does not start correctly

You press f11 go to the "restoration of the PC" (I think that I created years recovery disks when I bought the laptop, but have no idea where they are) went in the advanced-> Windows System Restore Options.  That said it needs to restart and brings back me to the black screen

You press f11 to go to the recovery of the PC again.  This time only used the default value and click Next.  Apparently this default option does not remove the data files on the pc.  This lasted about an hour, rebooted and took back me to the black screen but with another missing file. Don't you remember what was the last file.

Any ideas on what to try next?  Maybe I should find a way to connect to the hard drive without the laptop?  Thank you very much.

I promised myself now not to delete images from my camera memory card/photo until I supported the up... twice

Hello:

I think you have to remove the HARD drive and put it in an external USB box to get the data out of it.

If you try a system recovery, it would erase all files and restore the system as the day it left the factory.

Something like that would be what you need for the portable player SATA that your PC comes with.

Then just plug it into another PC and copy your files off the power.

I doubt you'll get up to start the laptop.

Once you get the data out, and if you do not find the recovery discs, you did, you can get factory HP recovery of this 3rd third-party disks.

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
    When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
    When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
    With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
    However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
    I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

    Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

  • When loading Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, my Lifecam Webcam from Microsoft HD turns on and starts recording.

    Original title: Okay, I bet no one has ever heard of it...

    At the Media Center 2005 Rollup 2 loads, my Lifecam Microsoft HD Webcam turns on and I guess that starts recording. WHAT? What is happening with this? I have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, SP3.

    Hello

    -Did you change on your computer due to which the question has begun?

    I recommend you to start your computer in a clean boot State and turn off Microsoft Lifecam Webcam to run at startup HD.

    Note: Don't forget to restart your computer in normal mode by following the steps described in the article.

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition computer will not start.

    When it starts, I get a BootMagic screen that allows me to choose the normal Windows operating system or partition DOS6. The next screen is text offering choices such as: Safe Mode, last known good Windows, normal windows, etc. None of the choices do something else that restart the boot process.
    I have backups of the C: drive in real Image files and ntbackup. I would like to make a bootable cd or dvd with the files needed to be able to copy the data on another dvd or on the local network to another computer. This computer was made by the gateway. No real installation CD were provided, just a "operating system Disk' which is of no use. The disk has been partitioned as C: D: K: etc. I added a 40 GB IDE drive, which is where half the data is I want back. I can 'see' readers when I boot from an old CD disk to Image, but may not see the LAN or write in the CD burner. Basically, should what files I put on a cd to boot?

    Well, almost a month since the gateway computer's dead, and I do not have anything on it. Spent a lot more time for the new computer with Windows 7 to run my most used programs: WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. According to me, that you gave me a choice when I reinstalled Windows 7 to use either 64 or 32-bit. If I had a choice, it is 64. At this point, I wish I had chosen 32, due to all the incompatibilities resulting in 64. I doubt that there are real benefits for me. One thing they point out is his ability to deal with > 4 GB of RAM. This computer has 2.

    What I installed was XP HP discs received with a laptop period of 2002. Probably violates some policy Windows, but my rationalization was that bridge should have on giving me the opportunity to re - install the Windows XP Media Center edition. I prefer to get this OS works because it has a smooth operation built in encryption system.
    I tried to use the provided gateway recovery cd again, but not long after starting it fails with a 'memory overflow, please insert another disk' message. Gateway support has not been cooperative, so I can try again. I think that they have it for me.

    The XP system is running on a 40 GB IDE drive that I had added to the computer. There are too many error messages trying to install an operating system on theoriginal 250 GB SATA drive. Usually the installation of software did not see the SATA drive. He is currently disconnected. It work pretty well in the new computer from HP in the 2nd SATA slot for to retrieve me my data.

  • Of Windows Media Player 11 in Windows XP Media Center Edition (SP3)

    I AT & T U-Verse, and I am trying to download video clips at home in my online account so that I can display on the TV.  When I select the option on the TV using the remote control that would search my computer for the files, I get a message that I need to select sharing on Windows Media Player 11 before U-verse can download files.  I have Windows Media Player 10 on my math so I went online to download Windows Media Player 11.  During the download I get the message that I have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 version and I have Windows XP Media Center Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.  What should I do to download Windows Media Player 11 with success?

    The link above for the forum of social responses seems to be an incorrect link. I can find no record of a response.

    You will need to start your own, new topic in this forum and ask for help with your problem, whatever it is.
