I removed a program and now cannot start windows xp.
I removed Smart Draw and chose to make a personalized move. I deleted ALL the files listed. Now, I can't boot the PC. I am running XP Home Edition.
I get the options to start in Safe Mode, etc. No matter which of the 5 options I select, it seems starting to start but then comes to the screen with the 5 options. This loop continues just to themselves.
I don't know why remove a graphics program this causes, but you can try a repair installation.

You can download the Setup from the Microsoft page of WIindows disk:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310994/Then you could install the Microsoft recovery console that helps you use the commands * Fixmbr and Fixboot * to fix the Boot Manager:

Computer recently downloaded and tried to run a update and system now cannot start Windows
As the title suggests, there was a failed an automatic update attempt. System attempted to automatically repair the problem, couldn't. I tried to restore to a checkpoint before the update attempt. This was failed several times. Each time the system reboots and the tent to start windows but ends with the blue screen crash every time.
I am able to go into windows in safe mode, but it ends up doing what I was doing outside of windows.
The blue screen is not displayed for a long time, but when he does has what I think is an error code or something... This code is always the same - as I saw it several times, I managed to write it: 0x0000007F.
Any ideas? Help!
Thank you

If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
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.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

Update interrupted - now cannot start Windows
Hello
Completely new to this forum and in the world of the system recovery / technical questions will therefore be very grateful for any help that you can offer but please keep clear answers.
I am running windows 7 on a Samsung laptop about 3 years. During the last weeks I had problems with the battery. When not plugged in the laptop sometimes turned off and the error messages pops up saying occasionally replace the battery. I now only use it plugged into the mains. However, yesterday, when I tried to stop, windows installed updates and the wall socket, broke off. To my horror, the computer turns off so that the update (1 of 31).
Now, I can't start windows. See below what I tried so far without success.
Tried to load Windows normally. Key start-up windows screen and then error blue screen and restarts.
Tried to select recovery at startup option. Through repair screens. Asked if I would restore the system to an earlier era. Tried by selecting Yes and no at this point. So yes, message says not able to repair and asks if I want to send an error message. In the absence, said also unable to repair.
Tried to start in safe mode. As above - will from the screen windows and error, then blue and restarts.
Tried to insert the Samsung recovery cd. When the computer starts. Press the key to load from cd. This goes to a windows install page (select language, etc.). Seems to be saying that if I do that I'll lose files? So not go one more away.
Have you tried pressing f8 and repair different, but process as well as above - unable to repair.
I myself am kicking to not fix the battery problem, but I never thought it would happen. In any case, I have a recent backup of most of the files, so not a total disaster, but I would like to save some recent if possible files. The only other option I see is to remove the hard drive and buy a USB connector stada (?) and try to transfer as an external drive. How difficult is cela and what connector do I need? Understand you can not recommend a product, but is there something specific I should look for, and what are the differences between the cheapest and most expensive? Are there more reliable / brands of higher quality that I should look for? Also, if I do this, can I then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows, and it's going to work?
I have no knowledge of the BIOS so not sure I can try relating to the recovery of base?
Will be very grateful if someone could help it. I can post more detailed error codes / logs later when I'm in front of a computer if you need.
Hello
Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community and your efforts to resolve the issue is highly appreciated.
According to the description of the problem, you cannot start your Windows 7 computer. This could be if there is a corruption of system files or boot files are missing or damaged.
I suggest that you want to run auto repair with installation media and see if it helps you repair system files or not. For the execution of the task, I suggest you to try the steps below and see if it helps.
Method 1
When you use the recovery environment (Windows RE) to troubleshoot startup issues, 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.
Download Windows 7 Disk Images (ISO files)
Method 2
If the problem persists, try to rebuild the BCD by using the Bootrec.exe tool. To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start the recovery Windows (WINRE) environment . To do this, follow these steps:
- Place the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
- Press a key when you are prompted. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
- Click repair your computer.
- Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
- In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
- Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.
See the following link for more information:
How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/927392
Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.
Kind regards

Bootcamp partition extended, now cannot start Windows
Hi all, hope you can help. Running Windows 7 on Bootcamp partition. OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 on the other side.
Needed to make Windows larger partition to install away from port, although comments, not sure that all this pain is worth it. That's what's happened so far:
1. I enlarged the Bootcamp using disk utility partition
2 restart the computer and now the Alt key, I could not see the usual option to start the Windows partition.
3 then I read that I had to go to the preferences system and make my boot drive Bootcamp, I did.
4 but on reboot, I get the error message "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any".
5. isn't a step 5. The hope that you could help me find one.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom.
How to enlarge a Boot Camp partition is either:
a. assistant Boot Camp use to remove Windows and refer the reader to a single partition. Then reinstall Windows using Boot Camp Assistant by specifying the size of Boot Camp, that you need for now.
b. use CampTune, a third-party application, to resize one already set up to the Boot Camp partition.

Resized partition Boot Camp, now cannot start Windows
I have a MacBook Pro (with the retina) with a 128 GB SSD which was, until recently, evenly divided 50-50 between Mac and Windows 8.
However, I need more space on the size of Windows, so I reduced the size of the Mac partition to 40 GB and then, because for some reason I couldn't expand the Boot Camp one, I had to create another partition that I could use to put my stuff in side Windows.
I did this via Windows.
I now, weeks later, started in Mac for the first time since, and now I can't get back into Windows. The partition is not present on the desktop, or in the boot disk utility.

VMs that partially copied in the new store and now cannot start!
Hi - my team had implemented an ESXi host 4.1 VShere with the VM files kept locally on disks to hosts.
A SIN has been implemented and a storage area available to the host.
