Install Windows recovery disk 8 in virtualbox hangs on the splash screen

Hello Lenovo community,

When I try to install the copy of Windows 8 I got with my Lenovo S440 in a virtual machine environment

the installation hangs on windows startup screen. I've never seen a Windows 8 installation

procedure before, so I booted my laptop from the installation media to check if it is corrupted.

It works very well. A loading circle dot is displayed the logo after a few seconds and that after quiet

some time the wizard of lenovo is shown... so there must be a problem with the virtual machine.

I have attached a screenshot to show you where it crashes.

It would be great help ! Thanks in advance!

Hello

I think that reinstall drive wouldn't work on a virtualized machine, only directly on the Lenovo hardware, in order to prevent the copy of Windows, more whatever additional licensed software is on the media, to be pirated.

My best advice would be to insert a blank HARD drive in Lenovo ThinkPad S440, use the recovery media, produce an installation complete on the HARD drive and then run a program to convert the HARD physical disk to a virtual machine, as Microsoft Sysinternals Disk2VHD.

Kind regards

  • Windows XP hangs at the splash screen (logo). Dim screen when hooked.

    I do have problems starting XP 2 on two different hard drives.  I'm more concerned at this time is described in the title.  I bought a new hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320) to back up the data on my old hard drive, due to the other XP startup problem and installed Windows XP Home edition, as well as my motherboard drivers, etc..  It starts very well, at first, but then started a curtain to the start screen (and the splash screen is very low in this case).  I tried to remove some additional applications provided with the motherboard, no luck.  I tried to reinstall XP several times, and who has not helped.  I tried to update my video driver, running chkdsk, running Windows Memory Diagnostic (which does no problem), cleaning the registry with Advanced System Care Pro, unplug all USB devices and network cable, etc.  He continues to hang at the splash screen (weakly).  When I try to start in safe mode, it hangs at "mup.sys.  So far, I'm able to get XP to start by repeated restart later...  I searched the web to find a solution for this and have found no definitive answer.  I just ordered another new hard drive and Windows 7.  I intend to dual boot with windows 7 the new HD and XP on the current disc (assuming that this problem can be solved!).

    My other problem is on my old sister Hitachi 160 GB IDE hard drive.  A few months, our PC stop working.  After buying a new power supply (Corsair TX650w) and determine that he was not a power supply problem, I bought a new motherboard (GA-MA785GT-UD3H), (AMD Phenom II X 2 555 3.2 Ghz) CPU, RAM (CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) 240 - Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333), and some new fans (old system died due to heat issues).  Once I had it put in place and I tried to boot XP from my old drive, he just went in a "boot loop".  He gets to the XP splash screen, goes black and restarts, again and again.  I tried setting the installation of XP with XP CD 3 or 4 times, without success.  This question is not as big of a deal to me now, because I now have the new hard drive with the new number to start XP (intermittent).  My main goal with the old hard drive was to save all my data.  That is, life turns on if I can't start XP on this drive (the one with the boot loop).

    Thank you for your time!

    The BIOS update has * seems * solved the problem!  I rebooted it 4 or 5 times, but also completely off the PC and it starts today.  Did not repeat the problem so far!

  • TM2 - Win7 hangs at the splash screen after waking from sleep and hibernation

    I had intermittent problems with the mode 'sleep' on my laptop TM2T-2200 (Windows7 64-bit).  Wake up sleep & put into hibernation, the system will have problems with log-in intermittently.  Generally speaking, I'll be able to move my mouse cursor and enter my password - but pressing enter, the system hangs at the splash screen, requiring a hard - reboot (by pressing the power button).  Sometimes, I've not yet will be able to enter my password before it crashes.

    The problem seems to occur more in energy saving mode, but it occurred in '' HP recommended Mode '' once or twice now, too.  It looks a lot like the problems reported for other models HP here:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-lockups-freezes-hangs/Pavilion-DM4-freezes-when-idle-and-after...

    Any suggestions?  Is it possible to know if a particular driver or a program that hangs?

    Update: my problems seem to be associated with protection against malware of Comcast constant guard and disappeared after uninstalling the program.

  • Debug build hangs at the splash screen after Update Beta 4

    Since the update of the fall of November, debug builds Dev Alpha hang at the splash screen.

    By release notes, on the basis of known issues:

    "AIR debugger cannot display the IP host dialog box when a debugging session is initiated. This can cause applications to hang at the splash screen and fail to launch. (240219, 242986) »

    A workaround solution is given for people running Flash Builder, where you explicitly give the Debug IP address host instead

    in relying on the auto-discovery.  I use the command line flow (don't have Flash Builder), and my debug builds that were operating out of now drop from September to the start screen. -DebugHost 169.254.0.2, I added to my blackberry-airpackager command and the debug builds always hang.  Release builds signed with my symbolic debugging normally launch, as they did before the update to the decline in November.

    For people who use Flash Builder and who know how to look under the hood and find the blackberry-airpackager command that distributes when you do a debug version: to debug this launch is built successfully

    on a Dev Alpha with the November update, can you please put the blackberry-airpackager command line which

    Flash Builder is running?

    Got a reply from them and they confirmed that the dialogue will be back. Let's make it a part of our test cases in the future.

    See you soon,.

  • Satellite L640 hangs at the splash screen

    Hi all

    I have a L640 / 01 H that I bought earlier this year. In addition to the original Windows 7 OS, I installed a Linux system on a separate partition.

    Earlier today, I was using Linux (which is what I normally use) and everything was really slow.
    Finally I force-shut-down, power button.

    Now, I noticed a problem with the BIOS on this laptop - if I try to start when there is a USB flash drive is connected, the splash screen just hangs. Today when I rebooted I realized that I had left a flash drive, then I got out and I tried to start it again, a couple of times. Whenever the computer crashes just indefinitely on the startup splash screen.

    Finally I gave him enough time and it takes the selection of Linux boot menu, so I tried to start my usual kernel but he gave me some message about a bad MBR.
    I kept trying to start, but the boot process is stuck, what happens is as follows:

    * The three lights on the left (power, battery and light) come on, no problem
    * HARD drive flashes white for a few seconds, then turns off. Occasionally, it will blink again.
    * At the same time, the screen is just stuck on the startup splash screen. If I try to press f2, f12 or any key too many times it will start emitting beeps whenever I press it. There is no way to get into the BIOS settings.

    Also, I can't boot from CD (Windows recovery CD or Linux LiveCD). Finally some kind of time-out of the entry into force, and the computer restarts itself to start the process all. Yay!

    I tried the stuff "unplug the power cord, remove the battery, hold down the power button / stop, plug back in, try to start" but nothing has changed. I also tried switching memory locations (only one chip of RAM, so I can't try a process of elimination on the RAM).
    Finally, I also open the door to HARD disk and removed the HARD drive, then tried to start. This time the BIOS has answered, if only to tell me that there is no appropriate boot media. At this point, the BIOS was responsive and I could change settings in there, but I could not boot from the CD.

    I thought I'd try resetting the CMOS battery, but I'm worried I'll damage something / make the problem worse. Someone at - it ideas? I know that the thing is still under warranty, but service centres are often slow and I don't want to lose the data from the hard drive.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    It could be a problem with the CD/DVD drive what you think of this idea?
    Perhaps the BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive properly and so there is a problem starting the bootable disc.

    In addition, it might be possible that failures of HARD drive and, therefore, you received an error message about the MBR (master boot record).

    Remove the CD/DVD drive and try to install the Windows booting from a USB flash drive.

    _Regarding the battery CMOS: _
    I would not recommend to disassemble the laptop because you could damage other parts and in addition it should know that the CMOS battery is not removable it s soldered to the motherboard

  • Upgrade to Indesign CC 2015.5 - does not open and hangs on the splash screen

    I upgraded to CC 2015.5 2015.  After you have installed indesign, it allowed me to open the program once.  After closing the program, any attempt to reopen causes an error pop up during the splash screen that says "Adobe InDesign CC 2015 has stopped working" and leaves the program.  I uninstalled / reinstalled two times with the same results.  Other 2015,5 improvements seem to be fine, only the Indesign program is having issues.  Any advice would be much appreciated on how to fix or revert to the previous version that worked.

    Hi all

    We are aware of the problem where InDesign crashes on launch while working with library files stored on a network location.

    We are working on resolving the issue and for the moment, please try the solution that we have identified.

    To work around the problem, please follow the steps below:

    Clear the Cache InDesign either by renaming the Cache folder or deleting it altogether. (It is best to rename the folder)

    The location of the cache folder: -.

    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\------\Caches\

    Windows 7 or 10: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\InDesign\-\Caches\

    Macintosh: Drive hard/users/InDesign/Library/Caches/Adobe///.

    In addition, if your workflow requires you to work with the (different) library placed on the network, please make sure you close the library panel before leaving InDesign.

  • CC will not open - hangs at the splash screen

    Had a problem with my video card where he died so I went back to the use of the onboard video. First Pro CC will not open at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. All my other CC Adobe software works without problem and the integrated video card has the last update directly from the manufacturer's Web site. When I try to open Premiere Pro the splash screen appears, starts to load, then a Windows error box pops up saying that the program has unexpectedly, he's looking for a solution, says that there is not and the only option is to close.

  • Windows XP hangs at the splash screen, safe mode does not work either

    I've updated my laptop with a windows update and when I went to restart, it crashes just in the start screen.  I tried in safe mode hanging at MUP. SYS and I tried the last known configuration.  So far these options do not work.  I tried Memtest, HDAT2, Ultimate Boot CD tests, chkdsk/p and chkdsk/r, Windows XP, CD recovery and rebuild, tried to start up with each opening of USB port and even tried formatting and installing Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows XP Home Edition SP1.  So far I have always in step 1, where nothing has solved nothing.

    I noticed that there is a thread here where a person has had the same problem and he said that it has updated its BIOS.  For hours, now I did research on how update my BIOS by creating a bootable disc...  I'm thumbs on a mile it looks. Here is a link to the thread with the person who had the same problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/XPRepair/thread/2b3f344c-F923-4D84-868d-c0be603e601b

    I could use any help we can on it.  It would be deeply appreciated!  My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Well I tried to Win 7 on a bootable disc.  I followed a bunch of instructions I found on youtube.com, but for some reason that I could not burn to disc.  Kept getting an error even if I followed every perfect step.

    In any case, I watched my CMOS on compensation, but the battery is soldered on.  I just messed with it a little bit to see if it was lost or anything thing but I didn't rip out and one other solder on because I have never done this before.  So I put everything back together, turned on my laptop and it finally starts up the Windows installation screen.  FINALLY!  Thanks for everyone's help and patience.  I guess the battery has lost... but not quite sure.  I left the laptop off for about 4-5 days before I tried to play with the CMOS this morning.

    Daavee, thanks for your help on this.  I learned all troubleshooting and making the ISO.  Have a good Christmas!

  • Problem installing windows 7. It will not go beyond the Welcome screen.

    Hello people,

    Good so I recently bought an SDS and trying to do a clean install of windows 7 but it doesn't let me get past the Welcome screen. Before even the colored balls appear and it just hangs there. I am really frustrated and tried a few things but nothing I try seems to work.

    Any help would be so appreciated!

    Hello a tad noob.

    It shows the SSD at all? I would check to see that it is indeed to be picked up by the BIOS, and if not, check the cables.
    Sometimes, the Windows installation can chuck a fit when it detects a disk with a sector of boot/MBR not valid and won't install it. To resolve this problem, you can try the following
    1. start Windows 7 disc.
    2. when the Welcome screen is displayed on the Windows installation, press SHIFT + F10, which will display a command prompt.
    3 type 'diskpart' (without the quotes) and press ENTER.
    4 Type "list disk" and press ENTER.
    5. If all goes well, you can see your SSD in the list. You should see a number identifier. Now type "select disk X" (where X is the number of your SSD) and press ENTER.
    6. type 'clean' and press ENTER. He will write an empty MBR, YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA ON THE SSD if you had anything on it.
    I hope that one of these tips helps you:

    Hello Jeff_Myers,

    Thank you for the question!

    It is disheartening to know that have problems you with Windows 7. As I understand it the computer crashes at start Windows after the Installation of Windows 7.

    Method 1:

    Disconnect or disable any external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, sound card and graphics card etc.) except the mouse and keyboard and then boot\start the computer.

    If this solves the problem, then add back devices at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue.

    Method 2: Perform the Windows 7 installation disc Startup Repair by using the Windows recovery environment.

    What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?

    Answer to us if you are having problems with Windows 7 or any other issue of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

    Now on to my question, I recently installed Windows 7 on my LG x 110 netbook. I ran the windows Upgrade Advisor 7 and confirmed that my netbook managed to all the minimum requirements for a 32-bit install. After installing Windows 7 my pc works perfectly (better than XP in fact) has installed all of the drivers needed to run automatically unless the driver for my microphone and my 3gs integrated internet which I managed to resolve. The only problem I have is sometimes while surfing the web, I get the blue screen of death and my netbook restarts. I was not able to understand by myself am so regarding this forum hoping to repair... I contacted LG for information on downloading upgraded drivers, but got a response from them saying that my pc is not supported with drivers for windows 7. Here is some information from the Center problem with Windows 7, I don't know if it's necessary info, please tell me where to find the correct information and how to access it.

    It seems that you have a C2 Bad Pool Caller error, which is difficult to analyze without the minidump file.  If you googled around and find WinDBG, you can open the minidump file.

    Look for the line: nom_image: it will tell you exactly what file has caused the error.  If all goes well, once you find exactly what caused the error, you can search for updated drivers/software.  At first glance, I would say it was the Realtek drivers because you see the line RTL8187Se in your info.

    My MSI Wind U100 netbook works also Win7 perfectly.  Double boots with MacOSX too, just because I wanted to see if I could do it.  I change the hard drive (for a bigger) and added the RAM.  Nothing low spec thereon compared to what was needed for WinXP when it came out!

    Try this driver, it should do the trick.  http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?langid=1&PFID=40&level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=172&DownTypeID=3&GETDOWN=false&downloads=true

  • Windows hangs at the splash screen (Windows startup screen), but works after restart

    I encountered this problem recently. On my Dell XPS M1530, when I turn on the laptop after a few hours, windows gets stuck at the start-up screen. I restart it once, and once again, it gets stuck on the start screen. But when I restart twice, windows starts successfully.

    When I turned off the computer and launch until it is physically hot, then windows starts successfully. But when I start the computer after his East become physically cold to room temperature, again the problem starts. I've never seen this kind of problem never or don't want to believe that windows or equipment can be affected by temperatures. It's almost as if windows starts up when the laptop is pretty hot.

    Anyone any idea what the problem is?

    Hello

After execution of the auditor of the files System tool you will see the result, if there is a file system damaged the cause of the problem.

    If there is no corrupted files, it is indeed a defective hardware, and we ask you to contact your manufacturer to resolve the problem suggests. Please see this link for manufacturer support website for your.

    Note: you must enter correctly on your desktop to run the Microsoft it Fix tool and auditor of the files System tool.

    I understand from the description of the issue, that the store Windows and applications do not work on your computer Windows 8.

    1. do you receive an error message when you try to launch applications?
    2. is it works much earlier?

    c. Please change the resolution of the screen 1366 * 768.

    Since you aren't able to access the Windows store I suggest you turn off the proxy connection, and check again.

    a. click the gear box in the upper right corner in internet explore.
    b. click on tools and then click Internet Options.
    c. click on the Connections tab, then click LAN settings.
