Laptop will not boot after Dell logo.
Yesterday, I tried to start my Dell Inspiron 17 laptop. I bought about three years ago and have not had any problems start to date. When I press the power button, the Dell logo appears and then nothing happens. I removed the battery and held the power button down until delete static. I also tried F2, SATA has changed, but that has not worked. Then I tried to run the diagnostics, but I got a black screen. How can I fix this, or is something broken?
There's your answer - the hard drive is bad (the boot sequence hangs on the black screen because it can not find the bootstrap on the drive to continue.
Reinstall the drive (you will need a new, 2.5 "SATA laptop drive - hard drive, drive hybrid or disk solid state drive) that is 9.5 mm or thinner) and reload the OS (from the recovery media if all goes well, you did when you received the system) and you'll be all set.

Boot the computer normally and log.

Select Task Manager.
Click on file and select the new task.
Type rstrui - also enter a tick in the box for "create this task with administrative privileges" - and click on Ok.

Failure to reinstall Vista, now my laptop will not boot.
Hi, first off thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, which I've tried to reinstall Vista, installation seemed to go fine until what seemed the last step where it says "installation complete" how it seemed to make no progress even after a few hours. Then, I turned off my laptop and rebooted. Once restarted, it I got a message saying that the installation has failed and it had rendered Vista how it was before the installation. Then I tried to install Vista for a second time and had the same thing happen, the only difference being that the first time when asked if I wanted to connect to the internet to get updates when installing I said no, and the second time, I said yes.
After the installation failed for the second time I tried to restart and my laptop could not start, she doesn't have to the Windows screen with the Green scroll bar on the bottom. I then tried to start in safe mode, and it failed when trying to load crcdisk.sys. I read that some people with similar problems have been able to boot from the Vista cd, but I had no chance.
The cd I use is a condition by Dell that says that it is the reinstallation of Vista cd and I have to mention that the optical drive in my laptop stopped working earlier, to remedy this I used an external drive connected via USB.
I'm stumped on how to solve this problem and what information I found via google has not worked or confuse me helped me more.
Thank you
-MikeIf you continue to have problems with the process of recovery of Dell, contact Dell.
It's their recovery process, NOT from Microsoft.
Here's how to use their recovery process:

I have a Toshiba Satellite. Running Windows Vista Home premium 32 bit.
It was working fine until I tried to intsal Service Pack 1 through Windows install after having been invited by windows that he criticized the update.Now windows won't start. I tried the Safe mode, but it stop at the "Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys ' telling me to wait, but it does nothing.
I tried to start another option but they all end in error. Oxc01a001d! 28497/89893 (Registry\Machine\COMPONENTS\DerivedData...) »
Someone please HELP!
I was able to fix the problem by reinstalling windows using the Installation DVD of Vista. He did a "fresh" Reinstall. To do this you first have to set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive instead of the hard drive.
Instructions to do so can be found here: http://techpaul.wordpress.com/2007/08/03/how-to-boot-from-a-cd/Insert your Vista DVD and choose repair or install. My Vista files have been basically corrupt but not your strength. If they are not to select Repair will give you the opportunity to do a system restore.
Don't forget to reinstall Vista to wipe your hard drive and you will lose your files. System Restore will not. But if you supported rose them to an external drive or online so no problem!
I hope this helps!

Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion
Hello
We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory
We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.
When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.
We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!
1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!
regards db

I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
What RAM do you have?A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.
You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

With a HP Compaq, you would normally press F11 at startup to start the process of recovery back to factory settings, as you never received a disc.
All data are lost during this process.

Computer HP8710p laptop will not boot at all
I have a laptop of HP8710P under Windows 7 SP1 that does not start on battery, adapter sector or docking station. There are no blue screen, no hard drive, no fan activity activity. I reinstalled the battery, hard drive and RAM. When I try to turn it on, the light above the number keys blink, but then go out immediately. The only light that stays on is the battery on the front indicator. Any help will be appreciated.
The answer I found seems to be the battery. After I replaced the battery of the laptop starts fine. When I installed the battery on another 8710p, this is the same thing. The battery seems to be a short circuit on the circuit somehow. Thanks for the help.

PC will not boot after loading sp3 for Windows xp__
I loaded sp3 for windows xp and now the system does not restart. He is caught in a loop. It is now trying continuously restart. I tried safe mode and it just scrolls the file names and stops. I tried the last successful reboot option known and that no longer works.
A. you must have only one 1 antivirus installed and to load at startup. If your McAfee subscription is updated, uninstall AVG & reboot.
B. then you will need to treat the Norton "remains". Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.
1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
C. now try to install SP3 by the following recommendations:
