  Restore point:

  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.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do 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.

  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 it.

  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.

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

  Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• HP XW6400 problem loading Vista Business

  Hey all,.

  I just took a XW6400 on Ebay and the auction has just declared that he only started the bios configuration screen.  I literally have no idea of the State of functioning of the parts below.  Here are the following specifications:

  4 GB RAM (has not considered whether it is ecc or not)

  Single XEON 5130 (2.0 ghz)

  ATI x 1300 video card

  40 GB SATA hard drive

  SATA 200 GB HDD

  DVD Rom

  DVD Writer/Rom

  Latest version of the BIOS: 2.38 (with the default values loaded)

  Part number: RB318UT #ABA

  Serial number: xxxxxxxxxx

  I use the computer for mainly surfing the net, playing some older games, but absolutely nothing of what the computer was destined (all resources, graphics intensive applications, etc.).  It's going to be my computer shop for internet research on how to fix pinball machines.  I am using computers for 30 years, so aware of all material am but not at a technical level of COMPUTING.  I can take pictures, or perform diagnostics that help solve this problem and post it here if necessary.

  I'm having a lot of trouble with a very slow loading Vista Business x 64 (ISO DVD created vistax64.com image).  It literally took about 8 hours now, from one day to the next, and I'm finally in the "Complete the Installation" installation (the progress bar green to low is about 75%) and he's been there 45 minutes now, but it could be longer, just noticed this after waking up and controlled again.  I would appreciate help with the following questions:

  #1: loading XP pro, the system stops just to the material 'verification' screen and locks upward.  Could be a problem with the Vista question above?

  #2: is it possible to load Windows 7 Home Premium on the machine, as well as the edition of Vista Business no?  The installation will simply not work on the machine if you use the standard version of Vista?

  #3: when you use the NON ecc memory, the computer performs strangely like that?  It is absolutely a requirement of memory ECC FB when not to use applications requiring?

  #4: if it finally load on the system and the system seems to work ok, is this slow loading problem a precursor to everything that you guys can imagine of?  Or I was just in the hospital?

  #5: when you add another processor, read the code of the same batch of CPU guarantees compatibility for a two-way configuration?  Or can I just get any other Xeon 5130?

  #6: I don't have a floppy drive on the system, but you guys can recommend a good hardware bootable USB or CD/DVD test software, which is a freeware if all goes well?

  #7: I lent my copy of Vista professional before, so I guess it's possible (but unlikely) someone could use the certificate of authenticity.  The installation say he is recorded online for you.  Is it possible that the copy has been used and is already registered to someone else?  Which would explain this problem?

  #8: is it possible to get a CD of HP restore again?

  I did the memory test on the Vista installation CD, and it passes.  I also shared my GForce 9800 GTX video card and am having the same problem.  Also, any general troubleshooting other thoughts would be appreciated.

  -Pat

  Edit: I went to the appointment of a DR and the come back about an hour and a half later, since this original post.  Now, during the installation screen complete, the progress bar has moved maybe another 10% is now about 85%.  It seems to load, but why so ssllooww?

  P.S. We have removed a number of your post for your secutiry. That is the information you probably don't want available to the public. -HP moderator of the Forum

  I got it to work.  Unfortunately, it is not useful for searching the Internet.  But i:

  Reduced system memory 2 gig.

  Renewed, cleaned and reinstall thermal paste for the cpu and the heatsink.

  removed the hard drive the system came with and just used well-known 200gig hard drive.

  Left the hard drive and cdrom SATA0 and SATA1, SATA2, and SATA3.

  And the big one, I loaded Win7 x 64 home premium.

  I'm typing on it now and updated as we speak.  However, I am always interested some of the answers to the questions.

  #1: what will happen if I used of non - ecc memory?  The system works not at all, or be slow?

  #2: and it is always possible to obtain HP restore disks?  (Edit 12/14)  I was not able to find a way to get drives install in addition to bring 2nd hand (ebay), but most of the original software is located on the support xw6600 site.

  I ordered 2 XEON Processors off ebay, another 8 GB of ram and the hp cpu heatsink and fan.  Time for fun!

• Dv5 does not load Vista, failing hard drive test

  I have a laptop HP DV5 with Vista - 2 years and more under warranty.  He had some problems with Windows Update error codes, I did a system restore to a point a little backward.  This does not solve the problem, so I tried to cancel restoring the system back to the State of our days.  This was fine, but then the system locked up when he tried to restart itself-it has attempted to restart for 45 minutes and got nowhere, so I turned off.  This throw Windows completely, as the system restore was not full yet, so now that my computer will boot the HP logo and start up options, but then get hung up trying to load windows (I have a black screen with a scroll bar down cycles endlessly with Microsoft Corporation written below)

  Bottom line - I can't get the computer to boot windows, and system recovery does not work.  Tried directly from the hard drive and vain and ordered HP-put one disk disks this morning, once removed from the HP screen, I get the bar "Windows loading files" at the bottom, which ends in about a minute, but then it just goes back to its normal load upward, with the scroll bar and Microsoft Corporation at the bottom of the screen.  So I can't open basically even the system restore window.

  I just ran the self-test of the primary hard drive and had hard disk Test do not.  I'm not particularly computer saavy (I didn't know that to do this test in reading this forum), if anyone can tell me what I should do next?  I don't want to go somewhere and get screwed!

  Thank you!

  -Becky

  Hi Becky,

  The result of the primary Hard Drive Self Test means your hard drive is defective and must be replaced.  It is the HARD drive in my dv5.

  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/320GB-Scorpio-WD3200BEVT-SATA-5400rpm/DP/B0013E0A0M

  Hard drive replacement is not difficult (generally remove two screws from the cover of the HARD drive on the bottom of your laptop, remove a futher two screws holding the disc in place then pulling on one leg to lift the reader.  Then unscrew the metal casing around your old drive - often called the caddy drive - attaching to your new drive, insert the new drive, fix it with two screws and replace the cover.  Then simply insert your recovery DVDs to load Vista on your new drive.  Here is a Youtube video showing this.

  I hope this helps.

  I don't know what the problem is here, but if you're not able to load Vista using F8 and safe mode, then there must be a serious problem.
  I think the best solution for you is to install Vista using recovery media delivered.

• Satellite A300-IH load Vista slowly

  Hello

  I just bought the laptop satellite A300-IH, but this computer is very slow to load vista Home premium.
  When I turn on my pc, I have to attend 3-4 minutes until I use the pc.

  I have not install the software.

  Help, please!

  Do you know why you Vista to load slowly?
  He starts slowly because of the high level background processes that are loaded at the beginning also.

  All the tools of Toshiba and preinstalled utilities are running in the background and they should be loaded at the beginning to make sure that all the features would be features correctly.

  If you want you can see the msconfig Startup tab and you'll find applications that are run in the context of the operating system.
  If you want, you can disable some but don t wonder if some functions will not work.

  Last but not least an Antivirus program may extend the time of start-up

HE continues to go to the Startup Repair, and it gives me an error of windows registry. I idid a debbug and had no errors on the disc. Safe mode does not work. I tried restore to earlier date and nothing, went to the command prompt and type chkdsk /F. c: here's what I got the chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. CHKDSK may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPEN GERE to this VOLUME WOULD then BE INVALID. And then he asks me if I want to force a disassembly. Press o and had. Windows check the file system and found no problem. The last line says failure to transfer the messages saved in the log of the events with the 50 State. It's all I have.

• Stop 0x0000008E Message loading Vista

  I receive the following stop message when you attempt to load Vista: 0x0000008E (0XC0000005, 89623110, 0x8039907C, 0x00000000 0 x).  I checked the BIOS and there's nothing obvious.  Anyone can it shrink down?  Thank you.

  You can have a device with the wrong drivers or some other conflict.  Check the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and then clicking on the icon of this results.  Double-click all elements with a red x or yellow! -those are devices to problems that must be fixed.  Go to web sites of the manufacturer or the supplier of the computer to the latest Vista-compatible drivers and download and install.  You can check if you have any problems of compatibility with the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/upgrade-advisor.aspx and you can check your hardware devices for compatibility to the Windows Compatibility Center to the: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/.

  You can also be infected by the malware. To correct this problem download, install, and run the following two programs: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html.  You can also try a free trial of Pandasoft (www.pandasoft.com).  Before you download pandasoft, uninstall all anti-virus program you currently use (because the installation and execution of two simultaneously can cause conflicts, freezes and all sorts of problems).  Once you have uninstalled your current AV program, download, install, update and scan using Pandasoft.  I think you might be amazed at how much she notes that other software missed.  Once complete, uninstall pandasoft and re - install your current AV program (unless you decide to spend that I did when I tried about 4 years ago).

  Let's see if these options to correct the problem before seeking other solutions.

• Need to re - load Vista Ultimate

  My laptop computer was upgraded to Windows 7 trial and now I need to re - load Vista Ultimate. Is there a way without having to buy a disc?

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  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

• Loading half on vista bar

  I have a dell inspiron desktop with vista x 64 tv and most of the time (not always), to the load bar screen I get either half of a loading bar or no bar loading at all, what's the problem?

  lol I totally forgot this, all it was was the boot with my usb hub plugged, :D

• Vista Start, freeze at loading green bar screen then blue and then restart

  Sorry if this is a repost, I look for a solution to this for 2 days on various forums and have not experienced this problem yet.
  I got my PC for about a year, it is a free version, it worked without any problems until a couple of weeks, where it started to slow down like crazy. Unfortunately, I was in College at the time and my brother does me on issues. It would essentially work normally (but a bit slow) and then freeze every few seconds. Once he was able to start - I think that the error message was that the boot files were corrupt or something, but it was an a stop.

  After about 3 weeks of slow driving, it has started to do the following:

  I turn it on and it tries to start. The progress bar green for microsoft vista comes up for a few seconds, then a blue screen of death hot flushes (too fast to read anything on this subject) upward and the PC restarts.
  If I try to start in safe mode it freezes while it lists the drivers
  its loading. The latest display driver is constantly crcdisk.sys. (I tried all security modes and last good config without result).

  I put in the recovery disc, choose the language and click Windows repair.
  The next dialog box is called System Recovery Options. The problem that I get here, it's that there are no operating system in the list. It says that I should look for the hard disk drivers, but I don't know how to find them. My drive is a 1 to seagate barracuda.

  Wierdly when I choose the option to install as if I was going to do a complete reinstall did it come with a disk of 1 TB on options and drive didn't spent the short seatools test. When I tried the seatools long test program frozen before the same test started.

  The hard drive has a lot of photos and I don't want to lose so I'm hesitant to do a complete reinstall.

  I also was not able to run a memory test because I can't find the memory test facility in my BIOS. I found once, but can't seem to figure out where it is more. The motherboard is the gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  kwond

  I think you have a hardware problem with your hard drive.  You need to consider (the system) to a competent computer repair shop for service, repair or replacement (or you can send it to the manufacturer for service - check on prices, warranties and other times before deciding).  A problem of crcdisk.sys is typical disc hard problem (but it may be other things) - but your problem description convince me that it's the hard drive.

  If you can make a drive on another computer, make a recovery disk using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with the burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps made on another computer).  One of the options on this disc is a Test of memory, so you can at least try it - but the problem is probably not the RAM, but rather the hard drive.

  You can use Knoppixhttp://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (done from another computer).  This should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to back up your important data, unless the hard drive is so far that even if it won't let you. You can try to slave the drive to another computer and see if you can access the data in this way - if so, at least you will be able to backup your data.  If this isn't the case, I'm afraid only a data recovery technician can help and they are very expensive and do not guarantee the results - but the decision is yours.

  At this point, if you want you can try a reinstall full (if it works) have nothing to lose. If it works fine.  Is that the problem persists, then it's almost certainly the hard drive.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
