missing or corrupt file system 32 config system access denied in the recovery console

I tried to solve the problem with a 32 corrupt system config and when I go into the recovery console, it does not ask for any password which is one of the first things that the recovery console is supposed to ask.  When I type the command 'md tmp' to start the recovery process, it tells me ACCESS DENIED.  I have no password for the system or the administrative password.  I hope someone can help me.  Thank you very much.  I use the dell 4700 running windows XP.

  • I get corrupted files indexing whenever I have access directly to the files on my system.

    I installed Windows 7 on a partition of a raid 0 with Windows XP on a second partition as a dual boot. The installer went well and all the drivers seem to work well. It seems anytime access to files via windows Explorer, my computer, etc., the indexing of files get corrupted. The system detects corruption and upon reboot it travels the disk repair utilities and deletes several files indexing, that it says are corrupt and the cycle goes round. I disabled the indexing on all partitions file and the problem got better but I still occasionally run the disc scan and correct indexing errors more. Everyone knows about this problem?

    Hi clonemark,

    Thanks for the reply on the community forum.

    Have you run any disk hard diagnosis tools that your hardware vendor can provide?  Initially, it sounds like there may be some bad sectors on the disks themselves hard.  If your system is under warranty, you may contact your provider and walk through a test of health with them.  If this is not the case, they have a tool on the site to help you with this.

    Don't forget a RAID 0 provides no redundancy so if any disk fails, without a State of full system / or all of the files you want to back up you are in danger of losing everything.  I want to make sure it is before much more is done, please make a good backup of all the data that you consider to be important for you on this system.

    In addition, if the material is not corrupted.  Check if the table that you created is corrupt.  Errors that you are declaring seem to indicate somewhere in this - table of data or hardware is damaged.  If chkdsk runs and can't find any error then it would be not significant to this procedure, but chkdsk running and to find errors, this is what is worrying.

    After checking if the material and the table are healthy, start in a clean boot state.

    Step 1: Perform a clean boot - this comes from an article in Windows Vista, however, the procedure is the same.  Don't forget to follow step 7 of this article, after the troubleshooting steps are made - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Note if the computer is connected to a network, the network may be policy settings prevent you from following these steps. We recommend strongly that you do not use System Configuration utility to change startup options on the computer, unless a support engineer Microsoft directs you to do so. This can make the computer unusable.

    1. Log the computer by using an account with administrator rights.
    2. Click Start

      , type msconfig.exe in the box start looking for and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  • On the general tab of the , click on selective startup of , and then click to clear the load startup items check box. (The box use the file Boot isn't available.)
  • Under the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services checkbox and then click disable all.

    Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

  • -Click OK and then click Restart.
  • After you restart your computer follow these Rummy to run chkdsk.  This should stop the procedure was running and bringing only to run in your previous post.  Run chkdsk until more no error is detected.  Then the run once more to verify it shows always 0 errors.

    If you still experience the problem, and all the steps listed above have been verified, run a tool to remove malware and VIRUS SCAN on all partitions in your operating system.  Check that there is no software of thugs on the system.

    Let us know on this question of how things progress.

    This problem happens almost daily.

    You can search the forums for discussions with similar problems (or the same problem) and peruse the threads where the result is a happy ending and examine everything first using these methods.  This will reduce the time to resolution and frustration.

    Something like this example:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/XPRepair/thread/83d5c57f-9836-4f3a-bec8-04c7d81861d3/

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • My Dell Precision 370 computer not start Windows XP, due to A MISSING or CORRUPT FILE.

    The file that is missing, is a Windows root folder called > System32\hal.dll

    Since this computer Dell was bought for our children used to use, I don't have any Windows XP disk to install the missing file of root or reinstall Windows XP software.

    So, how can I get this missing windows xp root file, in order to exploit the windows xp software?

    I tried to re - start the dell computer, but nothing works!

    If someone could help me, I would appreciate it a lot.

    Is is extremely unlikely that the hal.dll file is really missing or damaged.

    It is extremely likely that XP can't find it either because the file system is afflicted or XP is told to find the file in the right place.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    We should first check the inetegiry of your file system and then see what then to do.

    If your data is not backed up, then at some point that the data will be lost.

    The c: drive letter is also the XP disc?

    Lets assume that it is. (You can list the contents of the drive in courses and folder with the "dir" command)

    You should be able to view the content of the root '-' folder and the "\windows" folder

    On the repair of type Console:

    1 c: , then cd-(now we are at the root of drive c :)

    2 attrib - r s h ntldr (this will create the file ├a suppressible State)

    3 del ntldr (deletes the file)

    Change the attributes to ntdetect.com and delete it.

  • External hard drive problems - we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."

    USB connected external hard drive was used with XP.  For a small period of time, we had to connect to a machine from W7.  Now that we are back to the XP machine, we have most of the files to get a message "access denied."  How we fix the problem.  The files are images, videos or music.

    Try this,

    Start in safe mode.
    Open your computer and right click on your external hard drive.
    Go to properties.
    Click Security.

    Press OK.

    This makes the hard drive usable by everyone (all users and different computers)

    Hello Terry1897,

    ·         When exactly do you get this error?

    ·         You are able to start your computer desktop?

    ·         What are the changes to the computer before having this problem?

    ·         What is the error you get when you try to run the CHKDSK utility?

    Note: You must back up the data (files and documents) before troubleshooting on the corrupted volume, because there is a risk of data loss if the C: volume is damaged or unusable.

    I suggest that you run the CHKDSK utility in the Windows recovery environment.

  • Corrupted file system

    Hello

    A required clarification.

    If the file system data is corrupted, what is the way before raising the DB up and running.

    Thank you

    With rman, restore system tablespace on its original location:
    [oracle@localhost ~] target rman $ /.
    RMAN > startup mount;
    RMAN > restore tablespace system;
    RMAN > recover tablespace system;
    RMAN > alter database open;

    On a different site:
    [oracle@localhost ~] target rman $ /.
    RMAN > startup mount;
    RMAN > run {}
    the value of newname for datafile 1 to ' / home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/non_default_location/system01.dbf';
    system restore of tablespace;
    switch datafile;
    recover the system tablespace.
    ALTER database open;
    }

    You should have a valid backup...

    I tried to do the steps described in number 2 but when I click Next after the languages I don't see an option that says "" click here to fix your computer ".

    I tried to reinstall the OS a couple of times, but I get the same message.

    I have an Extensa 4420 Acer laptop.

    Thank you.

    Normally with Acer, you won't get the Option to repair.

    He's going to do a restore to the factory settings; How you bought.

    If the problem persists with the settings reinstall, contact Acer; as it is their recovery process, not Microsoft:
