    Hello

    You are welcome.

    This happens because your machine comes with 8.1, so will have no specific driver for 8

    When you are on the page displays "no software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system." Please make a different selection ", you see an option of editing right - if you do, click this button and select Windows 8.1 because the OS - most of the drivers should work for 8"  As long as you install the LAN or WLAN driver, just go through the updates to Win 8 until the 8.1 update is available, apply it and then install the rest drivers.

  • PC needs to be fixed: File:\windows\system32\winload.exe error code: Oxc000000I

    Upgrading to windows 7 8. PC worked fine for 3 months. The last time I turned on the computer would not start.

    After several attempts to "Prepare the automatic repair" screen appeared but never advanced.  The screen with the windows box 4 logo
    with circle of points running just above to prepare the automatic repair, waited for several hours but never changed.
    {1}-j' inserted my disk to repair Windows 8 {(set Bios pour démarrer sur le DVD).}  Note in this step, that I IS NOT select Boot from cd\dvd.
    That's when the error message appears: pc needs to be fixed: File:\windows\system32\winload.exe error code: Oxc000000I
    and you will need to use recovery tools.
    Three options are given: 1. Enter to try agai, 2; F8 for boot options, 2: F9 to use different operating system.
    Enter in any of the three choices just recycled the screen containing the same information.
    {2} - Windows 8 repair disk inserted. This time, I SELECTED Boot from DVD
    PC starts loading the cd [dvd, 4 windows box logo appears on the screen
    Bed cd\dvd for about 3-4 minutes.  Circle of rotation points appear on the screen below the logo box 4.
    at this point the drive HARD blinking led, system in this State remains. I never get to see service options. I waited for hours at a time.
    Produce the same results as step 2 above when I try to use the windows 8 installation disc.
    I'd appreciate any help as to how I can get to the repair, the troubleshhot or advanced options which are supposd to be available.

    Tony Hey,

    Regrettable that the problem exists.

    Seems like a problem in the BIOS settings, it would be good to check with the manufacturer of the PC.

    They might have more insight on this.

  • PC needs to be repaired, File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe, error Code: 0xc000000e

    I tried to install Windows 8 on my PC that was dual-boot WIndows 7 from 2 different hard disks and would choose between the 2 at the start.  So I deleted the partition of a Windows installation and installed Windows 8. Everything seemed to work fine, I could start and choose between Windows 8 or 7 and both worked well. Then, I updated a graphics driver Win 8 and caused problems with Win starting 8 by a black screen and nothing else. There is no restore point so I decided to start by deleting the partition. I have re installed Windows 8, but now when I boot I get an error screen.

    "Recovery".

    File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

    Press Enter to try again
    Press F8 for startup parameters
    Press F9 to use another operating system.
    It allows me to boot from another HD after pressing F9 several times.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • Vista could not start in normal mode and the relocation of scores of hidden factory settings also failed.

    NOTE: THE PROBLEM WAS MY POWER SUPPLY WAS LOW, NEW POWER ADAPT SOLVED MY PROBLEM.   Read more if you are interested in what happened prior to my tent a different power adapter.

    Original title: vista 32 does not start

    After a reboot could enter the mode safe mode with internet connection.  able to restore good boot known beforehand.  But what normal start attempt would not start completely.  tried to reinstall from hidden factory partition.  07:34 minutes, the installation progessed.  then the machine stop.  When you restart get the message "error during installation, restart the computer, and then restart the installation."  When you try to start in safe mode, get error ' cannot install frrom SafeMode ".". "  I have no bootable cd.  to know about a 'platform of recovery' still tells CD also cannot install from this cd.   can I boot from a "devils of recovery" in safe mode and use the hidden partition to reinstall to factory settings as I tried the first time?  or do I need a full installation CD to get the machine to boot?   My question is should I at this stage of start-up during installation seems to have failed?

    as for what caused this problem?  I recently gave a USB external hard drive, but had not written for her.  did a chkdsk of the external hard disk without error.   When the problem was first happening, I removed the battery and the power cord of the acer laptop then pressed the power for 30 seconds to perform all memory the power button.  He got rid of a problem that I had been meet in which received start-up error message not "adapter acer". with battery removed, laptop power problems have disappeared.

    as the system is now, when I try to start everything now alt F10, I get a screen that reads "change windows startup options for: microsoft windows vista ' ' path: \windows\system32\winload.exe" "partition: 2" "HDD;". " d404533e' "[/ noexecute = optin /deteecthal]"

    When I press ESC the next screen "windows boot manager" bed "choose an operating system to stat, or press TAB to select a tool:

    "to specify an option fo this choice, press F8."

    "Tools:

    "windows memory diagnostic"

    (diagnosis of memory showed no problem) by pressing TAB toggles between Vista and the diagnosis.

    I tried to boot with external USB hard drive connected and not connected.   the touch pointer was not working, but was erratic.   Sometimes, I could use a USB wireless mouse when it is started in safe mode.   recently the media player would not charge unless I restarted.  (before the system does not at all which is the theme of this original problem).

    When I try to start using f10, I get a screen that seems to ask for entry. the cursor is held after the detecthal of the line as below. What could of entry to enter the boot to continue?

    Winload.exe

    / noexecute = optin /detecthal

    me. surprised... the problem was that my power supply was low.   the adapter provided enough power for the laptop, most of the time.  but sometimes for laptop needs more power that the adapter could supply... so the laptop would be closed.   When I tried a different power adapter in a store, the fully charged laptop and my problem was solved.  lost a lot of time because I didn't know that the power supply was the problem!
