Laptop cannot load Windows 7

After attempting to clear the password at startup in the BIOS I was going into a more serious problem. Whenever I try to turn on my laptop it appears a black screen saying: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardwqare or software change might be the cause. "And there are two options, repair and start Windows normally. So I chose the repair, but it just goes to another black screen saying "Windows was able to start" and has instructions on how to "fix" the problem. At the bottom it says "status: 0 x 0000225 Info: the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. Also, when I pres "Start Windows normally" the Windows 7 Logo flashes and then after a second, it allows just the black screen, I described above.

Here's what I think has caused:
When I was trying to get into the BIOS, I entered another Menu by pressing F10. It is the recovery of the system, according to me. Then he said something on three partitions. I used to have three partitions, a Local, recovering HP and one for my records. But then I got rid of the partition for recording and has developed at a Local level. So, I am confused on why he said there were three partitions. The system recovery may have done something for the operating system. When I press F8 and go into options it also leads to the black screen, especially the Safe Mode.

Thank you!
I need to fix this ASAP, and I am not system restore I have many family Photos.

Hello

If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

Windows 7 32 bit

Windows 7 64 bit

You must use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  One time created, or if you already have this, insert the rescue CD in Notepad and restart at the start of it.  Select repair your computer and choose the command prompt.  When this charge, enter the following commands and press on enter after everyone – including spaces as shown.

DiskPart

list disk

select disk x (where x is the number of the disk to the partition is on - probably 0 (zero))

partition from the list


Post back with all the details of all the partitions that are shown.

  • Blue Screen of death - now cannot load Windows (even in safe mode)

    Laptop last night (Satellite L500-19Z;) Win 7 64 bit) crashed while playing CIV4. Had a blue screen of death. before I had the chance to read one of the error messages about the computer restarted.

    It loaded windows in SafeMode very well then and informed me that he had loaded OK the problem safe mode will be linked to some recently installed software and I should uninstall programs I had installed until it loads normally. As it was late last night I closed and thought I would sort the morning (with the benefit of hindsight it may have been a mistake...).

    Today, when the computer tries to start, it tries a startup repair; Unfortunately it does not work every time and it says "Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem"

    I looked at the paper it produces, but it passes all of the individual tests.

    I can't access also advanced recovery options system & support, that appears in the Startup Repair dialog box as it requires that I be connected, which apparently I am not (probably the machine never got to the windows screen connection before attempting repair system). The error message reads "you must be logged to access system recovery options. If you encounter problems to connect, please contact your computer administrator for help. Please click OK to restart the computer. »

    I had a go at the start in the advanced options (safe mode, safe mode with command etc., but the result is the same).

    I also tried the repair of your computer to the screen option options advanced boot, but after the screen where it asks you to choose the language and keyboard, I get the same error of connection mentioned above.

    Is it possible to repair or even run windows based hard drive recovery (do not have the DVD of recovery with me as I'm away from home for a few weeks) without connecting to windows? I expected here, but have not yet find a way to do it.

    (there is no disc in the disc drive, no other devices connected to the laptop - I tried with power outlet and the battery and have not noticed differences)

  • Cannot load Windows 7 - Satellite C660 guard freezing

    Hello world.

    This is a biggy. I have a Toshiba AMD Vision Satellite C660 / C660D laptop without Windows installation disc. Last week, it has become very slow, the interface resembles that of the interface of safe mode, then finally, he became completely unresponsive, therefore, through F8 on start-up I selected the option to return to the factory settings (I have this option)

    The BACK screen appeared and started normal loading then who responded, then I rebooted only to see Windows starts for the first time and carry the load, before that I had to create a cd boot from my other laptop to reboot the system that I had lost the boot mngr.

    The last part of the installation process begins whereby a white Toshiba screen appears with a green progress bar which is responsible for some drivers (see attachment). There are 39 steps to this process and I remember before the computer should keep restart itself, but it keeps freezing after about two steps. I kept turning it off and eventually the locked system administrator accounts.

    Once more, I restarted the PC, but this time in safe mode, the operating system did in fact load in safe mode and I created a few new accounts with administrator privileges, however, I still cannot load all of the operating system because it keeps freezing during the last part of the process.

    I have very limited knowledge of loading operating systems, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all, it was a big mistake NOT to create a recovery disk Toshiba.
    The recovery of HARD drive that you were able to start pressing F8, is only possible if the HARD drive is not defective.
    I think in your case I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive because there was a Bishop of startup notification which means that this laptop can not find a boot manager to boot the system.

    I have no other idea about trying to reinstall the system using the Toshiba Recovery disk or another drive in Windows 7 (of course if you have one)
    If the recovery fails, you will need to investigate on how much material could be affected. I think in this case it of needed to start with HARD disk check.
    Possibly the HARD drive needs to be replaced. Of course it is possible that I m wrong part is affected, but at the first step you should check the new installation of the OS.

    A recovery disc can be ordered here:

  • laptop cannot load due to damaged or missing drivers

    Hi all

    After installing the updates of Windows Vista on my Dell laptop and reboot, I get the error message that it cannot load because the missing drivers or damaged:

    \windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys

    I tried all the options without success. Not everyone looks like they might try to start and then take back me to the error screen. He suggested to load my re install dvd and reboot, but of course, restarting it informs me of my missing drivers or damaged.

    I also just installed a new hard drive to replace my damaged, even if I doubt that these two things are related.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

     

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Qosmio F - cannot load Windows or anything

    Yesterday, while studying the other day outside another student struck the table on what I was studying. I would say 'typed' as it was not so difficult. The normal message where it says that the laptop will move the hard drive to a place course, etc..

    Shortly after maybe 10-20 minutes, I get a message on the screen of the laptop asking me to 'save the laptop', because there was a major error or failure. I clicked on the 'further information' and he said basically all my C:, G: readers and everything I had failures of the disc or something. Not able to backup of the laptop as I have no CD present themselves to back up with I got it home I do today.

    The laptop won't load even in windows at the moment. Cannot back up or anything like that. Custody of loading in the options of the system repair, restore, etc. memory diagnostics help nothing.

    I only bought the laptop since oct/nov 2010. NA not start using it until January/February of this year. Should I try to open the disk HARD as he might have loosened out back or? Should I send it to the manufacturer to look? It's time for critical review for me and that's devastating! Also flight overseas late June after exams and wishing to take the laptop out there. Help, please! Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.

    Hey Kyo,

    Your ad is a little hard to understand and a screenshot of the error message would be useful, but if you get a message on the failed HARD drive and all partitions, please contact a service provider authorized in your country.

    Your laptop should still be under warranty, so guys can replace the HARD drive for free. If you need some important data, you can ask if they can save some files and make a backup. An alternative you can try it yourself if you buy a box for example external HARD disk. Then you can connect the USB HARD drive on another computer.

    Hello

    There seems to be a series of Toshiba laptops we and that's why the recovery process can be different on Toshiba notebooks European

    However, the recovery procedure must be mentioned in the manual of the user. Check this box

    First try this:
    Switch on and press F8.
    Select Safe Mode, and then try to start the Windows mode without failure.
    If this does not work, try to repair the computer option.

    I think the laptop must be equipped with HARD drive recovery. This means that you could recover the device without the use of the recovery diskette.

    As mentioned it's series American TV to laptop and I know that you must press the 0 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    This should start the recovery

  • Cannot load Windows 7 after installation of 2 critical updates (KB2436673 & KB2296199) - 0x800f0816 error Code

    At 03:00 today, my computer automatically up-to-date with 8 updated reviews.  The computer unused satellite, power, up to 15:00 when I got home, date on which windows was trying to 'fix', because windows could not be loaded.  I did a system restore to a point before the updates were installed (02:00).  Goodbye My observer of events and concluding that none of the updates have been installed correctly, I have taken note of the errors for each (most were 0x800f0816, but we've been 0 x 80242016) and went through each update individually and install.  Two of these updates will not be installed.  After the system restart after installing, windows attempts to load.  The system automatically restarts and begins to repair windows.  Windows repair indicates that the system cannot be repaired automatically.  I chose a restore point from before the 'bad' updates are installed, and everything is fine.

    I get the same error for the two KB2296199 of KB2436673 & failed installs: 0x800f0816.

    Is it possible to fix this?  Or I'm just not going to install it these updates?  It is a newly built computer (last week), all the new kit stripped of equipment, new OS.  I have very little installed on this system.  I found no information regarding this error code or the latest MS updates online, or if anyone else has similar problems.

    Any response would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    J.

    Of course, if you cannot start the computer, uninstall the updates would be moot & system restore (or 'last good' known) would be your only recourse.

I got a new OS disk and I replaced the file and it worked fine for another month, and when I started it today, it gave me a message saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "and gives me a list of options to reboot. I have not installed anything or nothing changed.

    I also tried each of the options and none work. I get a blue screen that flashes for a split second and then he returned to the screen with the restart options.

    I tried to go to the BIOS menu and setting up for her to start from the cd drive with the OS disk instead of try to reformat and I get a screen with a short message that says ' Media Test Failure. Check cable"and then returns to the screen with the with the restart options. I'm running out of ideas and anything online that I could find so far has helped. If anyone has any ideas at all, I'd like to hear them.

    Maybe the laptop trying to boot from LAN because the HARD drive is no longer available it could be possible
    Have you checked the HARD drive in the BIOS? Please do!
    Check if the HARD disk is available in the BIOS
    If it s not appear not in the BIOS, then the disk HARD is dead and must be replaced.

    PS; You can also change the order start F12 press when the laptop starts upward. Then all the possible boot devices should appear on the screen and you can choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source.

I have a new hard drive I can't install windows xp on, because the cd/dvd player will not play (it starts to spin then stops). Even with my old hard drive with xp on it, I couldn't drive to game/recognize any CD.

    I had bought a new larger hard drive (40 GB, as opposed to the old 6 GB one) but impossible to install windows on it because I can not install from the CD. Even if I already downloaded of the Setup files from disk, I need to finish the process of the XP install disk, but I can't.

    Hi Mitchell,

    I don't know what parameters in the BIOS you want to change for your optical drive. How are you optical drive connected to your laptop, it is USB or built in?

    It would be better to get your drive working properly with your existing 6 GB HARD drive before trying to re - install XP on your new HARD drive.

    I don't know if this problem could be related to dysfunction of the m graphic card or display.

    It would be advisable to connect the laptop to the external display to make sure if the same would appear on the second monitor.
    If so, then a problem of graphics card would be possible
