• Flow 10 7 HP - Windows does not start, I can't get into recovery 8.1 because cannot boot from USB-HELP Please!

• Windows does not start (possible disk failure HARD?) - Windows 7 64 bit.

  Hello. My computer won't start. It leads to the 'Starting Windows' screen, then briefly (VERY briefly) flashes a BSOD and reboot to the Startup Repair.

  I had several errors on my laptop which has eventually lead me to the current situation. I'll start from the beginning just after the specifications of the system, maybe they are connected somehow, or they can help you in some way:

  Plug my computer is the following:

  ACER aspire 5738ZG
  -Pentium Dual-Core 2.4 Ghz
  -4 GB of RAM
  -AMD Radeon 5xxx mobility, 512 VRAM
  -Drive Hitachi 500 GB SATA 5400 RPM
  -Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

  The first problem I had was a random BSOD who would leap upward with a certain frequency. I solved by going into safe mode, Device Manager and disable a card Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport that I don't remember being there before, and that makes not sense to me (I guess some program like a VM can be installed).

  Second problem were random camera that has begun to occur just after I got rid of the BSOD. I experienced the almost all the time (just after awakening upward, while surfing the internet, games, etc.), but I noticed that it was more frequently when using a game with a kind of communication (like Skype) running program and active on the background, or loading videos. I ran a chkdsk and a memtest, and both gave me good results. These problems I was not able to solve, but I went from more games (like WoW) system-oriented to the less demanding (the binding of Isaac, Dwarf Fortress), which blocks exactly 0 produced despite being a bit much CPU.

  I thought that it would be a heat problem, last week I went instead of a boyfriend and it opens. There was neither significant accumulation of dust, and no missed connections between the motherboard and the rest of the components, and I played for a week without a bump. Something of note, however, there was a brown spot on the label on the drive and under the keyboard, which my friend called "have you you spill coffee on the thing?", but I guess it's a day he just got hot. Don't know if it's of any help.

  Finally, I woke up this morning to find out it was going really, very, very slow, and that my HDD light was on almost all the time. I booted safe mode - it seemed to have locked up on the start when starting on normal screen. And after a while of loading and showing me a light permanently on HDD, it gave me an i/o error (could not take the screenshot before it restarts). I also noticed the icon on the status bar would not connect when I woke up, I won't be too paranoid, but in my opinion, could help the network connections.

  Memtest was clean. I did a chkdsk and it started to detect errors in index (something like "Error Index $021 program xxxx", don't remember the exact number), but had to go to work before it's over. When I got home, it comes to the start of repair screen telling me that Windows was not able to automatically fix errors. The next thing I know, I can't start my computer. I tried Chkdsk from Startup Repair tool CMD prompt, and it will immediately (as in, right this second) display the contents of the drive hard (with no "bad sectors"), but will not fix anything. Moreover, when I switch on the C:\ drive, it just shows empty. Memcheck to the boot and Memtest show RAM is clean.

  So in short, the cause could be a faulty HARD drive? I'm pretty sure it must be something related to her or to the connector block, or, worse, my motherboard is upward (which I really, REALLY whish is not).

  Any help will be less appreciated.

  SATA drives have always seemed to generate more heat than the old ones IDE and your CPU can become quite hot when he's busy too.  You do not have permanent damage normally until you get to about 70, so I would be fairly optimistic about the replacement of the HD unless conditions were very extreme.  Don't forget that if you rebuild your system with a retail DVD of Windows 7, you will probably need download drivers at Acer for things like chipset, video and sound.

  Good luck.

• DV7 - 7333cl: how to extract usable data from a bad drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD

  Greetings HP Forum,

  Recently, I replaced a bad hard drive on my laptop. I need now step by step procedure to extract usable data from the wrong drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD.

  NOTE: I can't not all data that especially if some of the software downloaded on the replaced disk can be altered. Should I first download Internet Antivirus to protect my new hard drive? I'm not an expert, or even close to this when you work on the back of the laptop, so I'll have to step by step how to download and to partition the data recoverable and software, etc..

  Thanks in advance for your help... I greatly appreciate it!

  See you soon!

  Wes

  It is not complex. Attach the drive to the adapter and connect it to any other computer with good antivirus and antispyware installed. I use Malwarebytes and Avast. When you connect the adapter with the drive connected to the usb port, the drive will appear and it will be assigned a letter maybe E:\ or F:\ or something else. Immediately, he analyzes with the antivirus and anti-spyware. Quarantine or delete any virus or malware it finds. Then, it's just a matter of navigate the disk and copy and paste the contents of the host computer in a directory for this purpose. Obviously, you can copy from documents word, photos, music files, but you cannot copy the applications like Microsoft Word, iTunes. Photoshop.  You may need to take ownership of the files on the old hard drive, but Windows will guide you through this. Don't know what else I can answer.

  I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
  has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
  you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
  one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
  identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
  There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

  But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
  third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
  http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
  http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
  Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
  the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
  the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

  Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
  interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
  I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
  the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
  my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
  Windows 7.
  I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
  Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
  I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
  whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
  which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
  much more likely with utilities and games with companies
  applications.

• Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

  Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

  Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

  http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

  On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

  The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

  Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

  Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

  The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

  Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

  File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

  If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

  It would be a good idea to test your new bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.
  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

  It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

  Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

  If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

• Windows 7 upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, 64 does not start on its own

  I am trying to upgade win 7 32-bit to 64-bit. I bought a new copy of Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.  It does not start on its own, is there some

  type of bootloader on the net. who's going to help or what!

  To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:

  http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

  -----------------------------------------------
  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit.

  Using the disk of 64-bit Windows 7, install Windows 7 Windows Easy Transfer Utility from the DVD (to find it, simply navigate to x:\support\migwiz, "x:" is the name of your hard drive. (In this case, you will see a collection of files, the important"that you must search for and double-click is 'migsetup'.) run it and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit disk so you can stored there.

  Once you have done this, just do a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit disc. In Windows 7 64 bit disk, start Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

• My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

  Details of the machine: -.

  Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
  Serial number: XE343127P

  Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

  Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

  I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

  System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

  The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

  1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

  Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

  Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

  I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

  See you soon,.

  Andrew.

  Hello

  From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
  HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

  What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

  Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

  Hey Buddy,

  If you want to have XP only, try to boot from a XP disc. You can format the drive HARD whole with XP disc that even Ubuntu is installed. I put t understand why you use another program to format the HARD drive

  Then boot from a XP disc and follow the instructions on the screen. If it doesn't work, it seems to be the material of your player to malfunction.

  It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

  I tried several discs with similar results.
  Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

  Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

  I changed startup on an old xp computer programs and now it does not start (I can accidentally put driver not run at startup). blue screen; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8992528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) xp sp3 no safe mode without recovery does Center no disc.

I need to save files are important on the xp computer is it possible to save them?

  I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

  -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
  -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
  -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
  -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
  -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
  -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
  -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
  -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
  -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

  It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!
