My PC won't start Windows after I used it to work from home

New software has been installed on my HP Pavilion G6 to allow me to work at home home. Now I stopped the work and my PC cannot start when starting. She's just a black screen and I can't get to Windows. How can I go back to Windows? How do I get this software and Boot up to the Windows STARTUP?

Hey RobVanEna,

You can try to perform a Microsoft System Restore. A Microsoft System Restore will only put you back to an earlier date and it won't affect your files (except files/files saved directly on the desktop). Please note that this is different from a recovery. A recovery will be programmed the laptop back to factory conditions, and you will lose all data on the hard drive that is not backed up externally.

Check out these instructions on how to perform a system restore. There is a lot of information at the top that you'll want to read later. In the blue link at the top of the document list, click "using System Restore when Windows 7 will not start normally.

If the system restore fails for some reason any, let me know. It is advisable to try a few different dates so does not work.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if this suggestion helped (May) help others with a similar problem. I'll keep an eye out for your answer.

    After I installed Ubuntu, when I try to start Windows, the process stops and says that there is a mistake: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. But I can't run Ubuntu without problem.

    Is there any special step before installing a Dual Boot with Ubuntu system?

    My laptop is a Satellite C55 - C - 1 M 0.

    I guess the problem is due to changes in the size of the partition. I found a few questions about google with a ubuntu - NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM query. Maybe you should take a look https://www.google.fr/search?q=ubunt...sm=93&ie=UTF-8

    Claire

    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.

  • Cannot start windows after update

    After you install a windows update, my computer cannot start windows, when I boot it.  It seems the windows files.  I don't have a recovery disk (lesson).  I have windows vista, is there anyway to restore windows on my PC other than buying the software.  I confess that I do not download updates often... that is why... It's always trouble.

    Hi, MooreTM,

    Brand and model of your computer, please.  Thank you.

    (1) you are able to start safe mode and do a system restore?

    Start the computer

    Start typing F8

    Select Mode safe mode with networking

    What a load Safe Mode, start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > SafeMode

    Select a date and time before the Windows update that caused the problem

    (2) start Windows and tapping F11 key

    If the Advanced Options screen, select fix my computer

    Press enter

    I suggest the site of the manufacturer of the computer and purchase a reinstallation DVD software.  Cost is minimal ($16.-$20.)

  • Cannot start Windows after log-in initial screening... screen is blank

    Out of the Blue yesterday, I was unable to boot WIndows 7 and I've now exhausted everything that I can find to get help.  Here's what happens: turned on computer, screen load with "starting windows" and windows icon hits the screen.  The login page is displayed (daisy aqua orange screen).  I get my login password.  The next screen is "Welcome" (background aqua), then whites out screen just for one second (really a flash), which he has never done before.  Then around the top of the 'Welcome' window comes with the circle of blue rotation... spins & turns but nothing going forward.  Then a black screen appears after some time that says: "Please wait" in the middle of the screen (never seen it before either).  While blanks on and there is nothing else but a black screen.  I waited forever, thought there was a minor problem and Windows would finally load but nothing.  I'm working now to try to fix it, nothing helps.  I am currently in Safe Mode, which is all I can be right now, and the system does very well in this mode.  I checked the bios to see if my hard drive has been registered, and it was.  I "ve restored my system to 3 weeks (before some updates) and that didn't work either.  I downloaded HP Vision diagnostic on a CD and that ran through the whole system and nothing has been revealed that needed fixing or change.  So I did a HP recovery disk, thinking I can delete my system whole back to factory settings, but I'm afraid to do because I don't know if Windows 7 is on the recovery disk and what will I do if not?  Sorry, it's very long, but I'm frustrated and don't know what to try now.  Can anyone help! ??  Thanks in advance.

    I read your post on how your desktop off intermittently when you load into windows, that the problem does not occur in Mode without failure, and I would be happy to help you!

    To ensure that this issue has nothing to do with the material, I advise you to follow this document on Troubleshooting overheating and the issue of Auto Shutdown.

    The next step that I suggest is to start the PC in Safe Mode of Windows 7 and uninstall the following updates:

    c. KB2975719

    d. KB2975331

    Alternatively, you can order the CD from recovery for your computer by following this resource on obtaining a HP recovery discs or a USB HP recovery disk.

    If the problem persists, I recommend to perform a backup and restore of your operating system. To do this, please follow this document on the backup of files (Windows 7), and more to perform a recovery of the system HP (Windows 7).

  • Satellite C660D froze and won't start - Windows could not start

    OK, enough of the more dense person you will ever likely to meet when it comes to things like that. but will try my best to explain.

    There are a few days that my laptop has frozen on me on me having to turn it off and start it again by the power button. When I started again the message below appears.

    WINDOWS ERROR RECOVERY
    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    If windows files have been damaged or misconfigured in, Startup Repair can help diagnose the problem, if the power was interrupted during startup upward, choose start windows normally.

    -Launch start repair (recommended)
    -Start windows normally

    When I press launch Start up repair that it goes to a screen with a big cursor (that you can move) but nothing happens.
    When I pressed the start windows normally put it went through the windows logo while starting but then stops at this point.

    My question is, is - this easy to fix & if not where is the best place to consider to get fixed. Said I was dense enough: p

    Thanks for looking

    Dean

    > My question is, is - this easy to fix & if not where is the best place to consider to get fixed. Said I was pretty dense

    I think its easy to correct, but you'd need a Toshiba recovery disc.
    Have you created one in the past?

    If not, try to start the HARD drive recovery: turn on the device, press F8. Now choose fix my computer.
    Now new window should open, and here you must select Toshiba HDD recovery option. This would create the laptop back to factory settings.

    In case this isn't possible, you will need to boot from a recovery disk to reinstall the system.

    boot camp disk is always seen in utility dish! I have many pic in the bootcamp drive

    now the questions:

    How can I access inside the car of bootcamp to retrieve my files from disks in windows?

    is it possible to bring back the old windows boot camp player option to the boot menu?

    Thanx

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    1. You can access your Windows partition with Finder. Simply open a new Finder window in OS X and the access to your Windows partition (often called "BOOTCAMP").
    2. Out of curiosity, what happens if you choose 'Boot EFI'? Note that newer Macs run Windows in EFI mode, so maybe Windows still works.

  • Cannot start Windows after trying to install the Vista SP2

    I just tried to install Vista SP2 and now whenever I try to turn on the cpu it gives me a blue screen and restarts. It does allow me to start in SafeMode either. In addition, it seems to be impossible to find my restore points. I was able to stop the screen using the F8 menu and it gives me this error on the blue screen

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0X81C223BB, 0X803998F4, 0X803995F0)

    For some reason, when I go to the cmd prompt to advanced troubleshooting guide, I can do, he says that I am the X and not the C drive, if that has something to do with my restore points does not.

    I tried to get the menu of the restoration on C manually through C:\windows\system32\restore\, but nothing was there.

    Any help would be appreciated. I will not lose rather all my data in a reformat.

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you installed SP2?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
