Office home and Student 2007

I turned on my laptop and got the following message is displayed:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on "Repair your computer."
If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000014c
Info: An error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data.

I had no problem before now with the computer. Yet once, this message has occurred during a turn on my laptop. I tried to restart the laptop, but it is not allowing me to restart. The laptop back to this message.

I appreciate any help with this issue. I thank very you much for your time and knowledge.

Hello

If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

Windows 7 32 bit

Windows 7 64 bit

You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, typing away at the esc key when you launch Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

When loading, select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

Bootrec.exe

bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

c:

Boot CD

BCD attrib s h - r

Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

Bootrec /RebuildBcd

Bootrec /fixmbr

Bootrec /fixboot

Remove the rescue CD and try to restart the laptop.

  • Windows XP security does not allow me access to the browser or the internet

    I'm having a problem with XP Security that keeps popping up almost continuously and prevents me from doing anything , without ordering the software.   It also shows that I have 26 virus, but an another separate scanning with a newly installed anti-virus [Ioio] program stated that 5 and were all deleted/purged.

    I have been using FireFox as my browser and still cannot access Yahoo homepage - impossible to go to the post office or anything else.  Pop up warnings keep coming and display 'Windows XP Security' is still waiting for me to buy their program - and I can not change anything on this menu at all since it keeps redirecting me to the purchase.  I can't get FireFox or even Internet Explorer since it shows a terrible message and does not allow me to circumvent it.

    What can I do to get rid of this problem?  I had to use using another computer to communicate with you and don't know what to do to solve this problem.  This same message/problem seems to resurface every year and made it for 2-3 years.  I resorted to an online, remote help to alleviate the problem in the past, and it still costs a lot of money to solve.  How can I FIX?

  • Disk management does not allow me to partition the unused space

    When I was installing windows I deleted my primary partition and an extended partition. I wanted to consolidate the space in a larger primary partition, but the installer would not consolidate the unused space, there were a multitude of unused space in each partition, I hit refresh, I have sailed on the installation and then headed in disk management again and still no dice. But it allows me to create a primary partition, but not a different scope, so I figure wrong install and try again, but within windows, still no dice. The only option available for this space is 'create new simple volume', I can walk through and get ready to create, but when I hit ok on the last window I get an error "There is not enough free space on the disk to complete this operation" if I put it to the maximum or minimum size, I get the same error.

    Is it possible to go back on my partition? or I'll have to scrounge something like partition magic and forget trying to do with windows?

    Hi Devarian,

    Thanks for the replies.

    When you want to extend a partition, for example the primary partition that you have installed on Windows 7, you should right click on the partition and select EXTEND the VOLUME.  Windows look for free space and give you a reading of how much free space is available to extend the volume of.

    Are you right click on the main partition or free space?

    Thank you

  • Disk management does not allow me to create the simple volume

    I have a 60 GB SSD and a 1 TB drive.

    I reinstalled Windows 7 and partitioned md SSD for the OS. I want to use my hard drive for storage.
    So now I have the SSD as my drive (C :) with only the OS and installed programs important. When I go to disk management, it shows my disk 0 looking fine, then it shows my disc 1 (my 1 TB HHD) empty, not even let me create a simple volume.
    Whenever I do a right-click on disk 1 I only get the option "change drive letters and paths...» »

    How can I fix it?

    Go to http://www.easeus.com and download free Easeus Partition Master.  It is much easier to use and works when the Windows disk management program is not.

    Good luck.

  • Pavilion 6052ea: 6052ea Dv6 - Windows boot Manager

    Hi guys

    So I tried to do a factory reset on my Dv6, I had replaced the screen (worked) and I wanted to clean during the use of the work.

    I rebooted and pressed F several times then chose a factory reset (Option 3)

    Now, I get to the windows boot manager give me the 3 standard options and file: \Boot\BCD status:------0xc000000f

    I don't have a recovery CD (I thought it would be re - install my original OS)

    I have a flash drive to use, but for some reason any the windows download page does not recognize my CD from the bottom of the laptop key.

    It is faded, but I am sure that it's okay to 99%.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem or is it a bin job?

    Yes it will automatically authenticate Windows 10 machines Windows 8 and there is a manual of key Code for the new version RTM 10240 there for 8 machines Pre-windows.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3dfda8/build_10240_did_you_get_assigned_a_licenseproduct/

    The key shown in the link below is supposed to work with Windows 10 10240, released yesterday and has worked for me with latest Windows 10 Pro Insider with own couple extracts installs. I just downloaded the file .iso 10240 image, he engraved on a DVD and I'm going to install it on my rig here in just a bit. I will present my experience. My apron is a 8 prior to Windows machine. Here is a link to the .iso image file:

    http://Microsoft-news.com/download-Windows-10-RTM-build-10240-ISO/

    You can sign up for the Insider program (instructions on the link above) just to keep all hide them before general release to the public, but MS advice support are all saying this .iso will make a clean installation using this key Code.

    Hello

    OK, try the following.

    As you use HP MediaSmart DVD to play discs, follow these steps.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once done, see if your discs now plays OK.

  • HP Pavilion g7 1178 AC: windows jingle/tune does not sound and the start up programs do not start before the RESET

    When I start my computer, I have the lock screen, enter my PIN and then nothing really happens, I get all the blank screens or error messages just my old image of the windows desktop 7, then I RESTART my pc and then I get Windows Small Volkov song/jingle/air once it starts again , then my lock screen and then my start up programs start at work, bitdefender, toolwiz and things are working properly.  I removed my old windows, clean up the files using the disk.

    I do not understand why the windows little tune does not make its sound until I restart?  Does this mean that windows is does not start properly until I restart?  And would that be why my bitdefender is does not properly start as well. ?

    I checked in the Task Manager after the first start-up, he said that the two programs have been activated, but they do not work properly.  I checked bitdefender and it also says that it is on the startup list, but why he doesn't have the things I have planned to start rebooting?

    It is very frustrating having to start my pc, wait a while, then do a reboot to get things every morning.  Suggestions, ideas, help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time, sincerely, Niki

  • The window run JavaScript does not allow "<" to a string value.

    Does not allow to execute javascript window ' < ' in certain uses. For example it would not accept "if (x < y) {}", but it would allow "if (y > x)...". »

    In this case, I was able to work around it.

    An example, I can't work around attaches a string containing value ' < ':

    customCSS = "< style type =" text/css"> #myStyle {left: 1014px!}" important; top: 47px ;} < / style > ";

    It always divides the string after the "before the <."

    Does anyone know a way to escape to the < character? I know that I can do as an external function, but I am trying to create a current template with all the internal scripts.

    I use an external CSS file that is published with the file.

    Something like Belarc to find your product key. The only other way to reorganize the recovery media to restore factory system, if they still have this will restore also your product key as well. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new product key for Microsoft if you reformatted the system with a different version of Windows 7 other then what comes from the factory install.

  • Pavilion 500 - 206t: Boot Manager does not appear in the sources of boot UEFI

    I had a working system, until I installed Fedora on it...

    I have since removed Fedora, but cannot get the windows partition to start for the life of me.

    In the bios, I don't see "Microsoft boot manager" in the list of Sources of boot UEFI in the boot order.

    I have the original, untouched windows 7 x 64 partition, the HP recovery partition and 10 windows partition, I recently did a clean install, but still no start.

    I've deleted and recreated a 100 MB EFI partiton and a partion of 128 MB msr by using diskpart.

    formatted fat32 EFI, left the msr as-is.

    Repair of windows did nothing.

    I created a ultimatebootcd USB drive (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/) and used parted Magic/clonezilla in order to image the old windows and partitions of hp recovery (not the entire disk) to a USB external HDD (plugged into USB 2.0 port)

    Then I deleted all partitions with parted magc.

    Install win 7 on the system with no partitions, it's easier to reduce windows on partition of 100 MB, but you can adjust it later, also don't you bother with the product key, ignore her.

    Restart the ultimate boot CD, choose parted Magic then Partition editor and create an important partition for windows = or superior to what it was when he was photographed. If your new installation of win 7 took the entire disk, simply to reduce the size of the partition and create the large partition to restore to, don't forget the restoration of 15 GB HP as well. If you don't see all the partitions or get an error in the score editor, see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619381

    don't worry about formatting new partitions.

    To restore, you will need to rename the image files on the external hard disk created in the second paragraph above. The partition names will be changed, see this link: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq#102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq

    After the restoration, start windows installation disk and repair, it will be your old windows partition, restored. Save and reboot the old partition. If everything is successful, you can delete the newly installed partition win 7 and use msconfig in windows to delete startup entries. You can use parted magic to cultivate the restored partition, if you wish.

    Then, install windows 10 to get a true EFI boot.
