• HP Pavilion 15 PC laptop: laptop won't boot up - stays on the black screen

  My computer was working fine and then all of a sudden the screen went black.  I turned the power on and it came up with the error message "Unmountable Boot Volume" and then tried to solve the problem but just stayed on the screen black and never solved the problem.  I turned it off, did the hard reset when I remove the battery and hold the power for 15 seconds, but it's always the same.

  I went into the mode where I can try to restore the computer but it does not allow me to do. They say it restores and then just black.   I also ran a report where it says that the problem is "short hard drive DST Check: failed ' and gave me a code of 0SNHWW-7N987K-MFPWMG-60WF03.

  If there is nothing that can be done to help me I would be really happy I have use this laptop for work and really need to get it back running of emergency with minimal cost.  Thanks a lot for your help

  @Amyynatalia,

  The pleasure is all mine!

  I'm afraid not, you will be asked to pay more for the replacement drive as its not covered by the warranty.
  
  Keep me posted!
  
  Kind regards

• My laptop won't boot at all

  Last Monday I was on my laptop and the battery came out while it's on, because then it does not start, I tried pressing F8 to start mode without failure, repair or mode and all I get is a white screen.

  I tried to boot from a Windows 7 repair of my CD drive disc and it gets to half way then fails. What is the problem with the system can be wiped and restored to factory setting or is it irreparable?

  You can enter the BIOS settings? HARD drive recognized and properly list?
  Set it to default settings please and try reinstalling the operating system.

  Press ctrl-alt-delete. If it works, go to file / new task, type explorer.exe. This brings to the top of the desktop computer? I wouldn't use Hirens CD. Go into the BIOS and change to the hard drive. If windows is installed

• Satellite L20 260 won't boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my satellite of sad, after 3-4 days I installed a new operating system (tried with XP SP2 and Kubuntu) system does not boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason, the only way is to perferom a new installation of the OS. What is a hardware problem, perhaps related to the RAM or HARD drive?
  x 10, Daniele.

  Hello

  It's not easy to tell if the problem is software or hardware related.
  You must install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD and again test the functionality

  If the laptop won't boot again freezes immediately after that installation of recovery CD, and then it could be a hardware problem.
  You can try using MemTest 3.5 tool.
  It checks the memory of a malfunction.

• laptop won't start windows xp up.error win32k.sys?

  My laptop won't boot windows xp, to ask if I want to start windows normally or with guests orders or network in safe mode. According to what I try nothing works. It says: an error has occurred with win32k.sys. What is - this and how to fix it?

  As you probably know Evesham closed to the public in 2008.

  I think that your computer is a portable computer. I can't access a free copy of the manual, but I imagine that you have a copy of the operating system on the hard drive in a recovery partition. Am I wrong?

  Before attempting to repair your computer, you will need to back up your data files on removable media. If the computer does not start, you need access to a second computer at home. Do you have a? If Yes is it a desktop or a laptop?

  I would also ask if you comfortable using a screwdriver to remove the hard drive of your laptop Evesham, put it on an external support which can be purchased via Amazon and its connection to a USB port on the second computer. These are not difficult tasks, but not everyone wants to take on this task. If not comfortable take your laptop to a local computer repair shop.

  As for the repair of your laptop once you have recovered your data files, restore the operating system to factory settings using the copy of Windows XP, which I think is more than likely in a recovery partition. It will be activated by single key, perhaps the F10 or F11 key or you can have an option in the menu that appears when you press the F8 key during the boot process. It also seems that Evesham commonly supplied recovery discs.

  If a factory restore does not work I would then test the memory.

• Satellite Pro C850 - 14 d won't boot to the top

  My laptop won't turn. I had the toolbar Sweet Packs to come and I'm never round down to remove. Then last week, it was not plugged and ran out of battery. When I plugged it would not start. I'm completely at a loss.

  I pressed F8 and tried to turn it on in safe mode, restore, back to the last good configuration, repair, etc., and none of them work. It still just goes back to trying to start and default. It requires the Windows 7 boot disk, but we do not have.

  I'm not particularly computer literate and I am now panicking a bit. Has anyone advice please.

  Thanks in advance...

  Please be so kind and tell us first what model of laptop you have.

• Equium A100 PSAA43: CD rom drive won't boot from any CD

  Hello.

  I have a problem with the start on equium a100-psaa43 procedure.
  The problem is the cdrom won't boot any cd
  I mean recowery system or any other cd boot as a Live CD.

  My BIOS version 1.5
  I put in place a correct sequence in the bios Setup. I mean 1. Secondly, CD-ROM, is my hard drive.

  What can I do to fix this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all we should know if the CD rom drive can read any CD.
  Have you tried to read from the Windows OS CD? The operating system recognizes the CD inserted?

  If not, then possibly the ODD drive malfunctions and, therefore, it s not possible to start from the middle.

  Anyway, you can boo from the CD in different ways. First, you can press F12 and you will get a boot menu. There, you can choose bootable devices.
  In the second way, you can try to press the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This button starts the CD player.

• 320 external USB HARD drive won't boot

  Hello!
  After working fine for 5 months, my disk 320 external HARD USB is now showing that it is not initialized. When I go to disk management and click to initialize it, it won't boot. Can someone tell me how to make this work? I'm sure I'll have to format too, but can't find any way to make that without initializing the HARD drive first.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Try removing the USB ports in Device Manager. After restarting again the USB ports should be recognised again.
  Then again connecting the external HARD drive.

  The second possibility is to use an external USB hub with an additional power supply.
  It is possible that the HARD drive needs more energy than the 500mA
