  • Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

    After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

    Help, please!

    I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

    The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

    You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

    Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

    I have windows vista. I did a system restore. I can restore PIX saved on the backups before recovery was made?

    Hi rich,

    What kind of backup do you have?  If it were a full image backup, restoring them will be difficult unless you restore the entire image.  If it was a normal backup of files and folders, it should be fairly simple.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure: http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on backup and restore Vista process

    http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.Backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.   It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):

  • Is it safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore?

    I would like to know if it is safe to delete Windows.old files after doing a system restore. I did two restorations system in a year or two, and I have two files labeled "Windows.old" and "Windows.old.000" which are just take a lot of space on my computer. I heard that it is safe to remove them, but only if some files are copied correctly. How do you know if those files are copied on?

  • Installed Ubuntu on my Windows partition

    I have a laptop Y500 I had about a year ago, and finally wanted to bother with linux/ubuntu. So I asked a few friends how do, they gave very detailed instructions and were very helpful. Although the beginning of this year, I tried to install 13.04 on mine and horribly failed, but everything was fully functional, so I didn't change. Recently, I went to try again, with 13.10. When I came to install it says that I still have installed 13.04, so I wanted to replace 13.04 by 13.10, so I chose the option overwrite with the new version. When it's over, I had little time to play around with Ubuntu but little I didn't know not ALL my partitions have been reconfigured and my windows version 8.1 has disappeared, replaced by Ubuntu 13.1, even the recovery to the top left, as far as I know. There are now three partitions, one for the storage in bulk and Ubuntu, the other two I don't know, because Ubuntu won't let me explore them. Not to mention when started with 13.10 my USB, readers are non-functional. I have tried everything I can possibly think to get windows installed again, but I came to an end not knowing what to do. I need help please!

    Use this .iso:
    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit

    Then if you want to burn to a DVD, just burn the iso to a DVD and install Windows 8 on DVD.

    Or use a liveUSB:
    http://www.pendrivelinux.com/Universal-USB-Installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
    You may need to activate the boot from USB in the BIOS if it is not already enabled.

    NOTE: You will not be prompted for a product key during installation. Why? The product key is stored in the BIOS, and the correct edition of Windows is chosen accordingly during the installation.

    Then after installation is complete, all you have to do is install support.lenovo.com drivers. If you have no internet connectivity using a USB to transfer the drivers on your Y500.

    You can always consider buying a DVD of recovery of Lenovo for which you must pay. Based on your knowledge, it is not a bad idea. But if you are willing to learn something, my guide above is something for you.

    I can assure you that the .iso is safe to use, since I have been using one myself. I always keep a backup copy to help out friends.

  • Impossible to install Bootcamp and partition problem

    Hello guys, I really need your help. I can't install Windows more Bootcamp partition.

    So I read a lot of articles on the problem of the partition but it seems that I can not solve the problem at all and I think my problem is very critical. Here's how things all turned out badly:

    -J' tried to update to OS X version 10.11.5 from the Mac App Store.

    -After restart my Macbook, I got the message error "OS X could not be installed on your computer...". ».

    -J' tried to find a solution and I found this:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203482

    -J' did what the site Web told me, that I used the disk utility to resize the partition to the Mac (at the time I had Windows 10 Bootcamp on my Mac). So the thing has helped, I was able to update OS X 10.11.5. After that, I had resized the partition of the Mac to its normal size. (I was very careful not to touch anything else like Bootcamp)

    ' - The day after I restarted my Mac to use Windows, but since the splash screen, I saw only 'Macintosh HD', I booted in OS X and is passed as a parameter to indicate my boot under BOOTCAMP drive, after restarting black screen said: "no boot device... »

    -I went on the web and find all the solutions and I formatted the BOOTCAMP partition and deleted all his data, now my Bootcamp Assistant said: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.". I tried to install Windows 7 on USB, I chose Bootcamp (score 4), but now I have this: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can be installed on disks GPT THAT MBR cannot support... »

    Now I can't find any way to install back my Windows on the partition, I read on the internet that OS X sees that the GPT partition Windows considers MRB. Here are a few photos can help:

    My Macbook HDD has 3 parts: Macintosh HD (use for OS X), Bootcamp (used for the installation of Windows) and DATA (use to store large data)

    Hi Jason Dang,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. What a great way to try to get this problem resolved on your own! The best resolution would be to format the drive outside the Bootcamp utility. Your drive must be formatted using the recovery partition. Once you format the drive, you will be able to use the wizard Boot Camp re partition and re install Windows. Please try the link below and select "erase a disc and reinstall OS X.

    How to reinstall OS X on your Mac

    Restore your Mac to factory settings should get your Windows successfully installed.

    Have a great day.
