Just after I turn on the laptop (before Windows Vista turns on) the following message appears "cannot open volume for direct access. What this mean and how can it be solved?
Thank you

Hi EddieLopezA,
· Which version of Windows Vista is installed on your computer?
· You have antivirus software on your computer?
This problem may occur if another utility or service, for example a virus check program or a program disk monitoring, locked the partition before you try to run the Chkdsk.exe or Autochk.exe utility.
I have some steps that may help you.
Method 1: I suggest you to turn off all third-party applications and check if you have a similar question.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. open the start search box, type services.msc and click OK.
2. in the Services (Local) list scroll the service concerned (for example auditor of virus or disk monitoring tool).
3. right click on the service and select Properties.
4. change the startup type to disabled for all applications 3rd - party that could be the cause of the blocking of Chkdsk problem.
5. click OK/apply.
6. restart the computer.
Method 2: If this does not help, try to change the registry value and restart the computer.
1. click on the start search box, type regedit.
2. in the Publisher of the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following subkey:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session manager
3 change the Boot entry run of:
autocheck autochk * /r\DosDevice\C: (or other)
TO:
autocheck autochk *.
Note: Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. If you want to edit the registry to fix this I urge you to back up your registry before proceeding.

I tried to insert the installation disc, and it relies on the error message that it does not give me an option of chkdsk, or anything else. When I start from safe mode, the computer hangs on the screen "loading Windows files". Is there something I can do?
Hello
You need a DVD Vista Microsoft, not the manufacturer's recovery disk, to have the options of 'working '.
You can also Boot from it:

CHKDSK error: cannot open the volume for direct access.
CHKDSK is on the machine does not work it gives me the error:
Cannot open volume for direct access.
Autochk cannot run because of an error caused by a recently installed software.
Use the system restore feature in the control panel to restore the system to a point prior to the installation of the new software package.
An unspecified error has occurred (766f6c756d652e63 3f1)
When I run it.I also tried a boot following the instructions of clean boot in Microsoft (through the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 URL) and then try to run a CHKDSK command-line command (cmd) prompt in an administrator account and it always gives me error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1
I also have the CD of Windows 7 available and administrator of the computer. I don't know how to get it to make CHKDSK work correctly at startupThank youHello Mitcherator777,
You can connect to your computer in normal mode or only in safe mode?
It would be the best way to run the Chkdsk command:
1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
4. check your hard disk for errors:
Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.Let us know the status of your question.
Thank you

hard drive installation / do not install the drivers before that I installed Vista
I installed a new hard drive on my laptop and then installed my vista reinstallation cd before installing reinstalling drivers and utilities cd, and now some of my drivers are missing, especially for the wireless card, so I can't connect to internet / y at - it an easy solution for this?
Install now and they will update those that are currently installed, or install the drivers, some of whom are misssing.
Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears. Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white? These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else). Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips. If you need to get drivers, get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device or disc they provided but prompting directly from web site can be better because they may be more recent than those appearing on the disc. (NO Microsoft updates). In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm. Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.
I hope this helps.

HP Pavilion dv3t notebook. Each time get adapter connect to the laptop, it takes at least 10 minutes to get the AC adapter and power indicator light on. Sometimes it does not light on all day. It always happens any with the battery or not.
If I start the laptop with the light on the AC adapter and the power light, no matter how I move the power cord, it maintains support, works very well.
But if I start the laptop without the light on the AC adapter and the power led on even with the, i.e. start with the battery as power, no matter how I move the power cord, the led on the AC adapter and the light, i.e. no charge. He stops until the battery drain.
I believe that the AC adapter is good. But I have no idea why he has trouble in the light on the AC adapter and the power light on after to connect to the laptop.
Dv6 had a somewhat similar problem that was treated with a BIOS upgrade. I watched the latest BIOS for your laptop and there is nothing about a problem of load, however. If it works very well and also a long time that you turn it on with the AC plugged in but only has a problem with loading when you connect the adapter Windows runs, I'm tempted to say that it is a software problem as a problem with Windows power management. Maybe if you remove the hard drive, power supply, switch it on with battery only, then plug the adapter when you run in a pre-Windows environment, we can see if the same problem occurs. If it was my cell phone, I would also like to do the update BIOS level, just to see if maybe it would affect something. I could also try to run it from a Linux Live disc any and see if the same problem occurs in another operating system. Last resort I would begin focusing on the issues of possible material, as a module of taking bad AC, which is an other replaceable part that requires no welding.
