• Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

  I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

  While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

  I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

  Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

  I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

  I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

  I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

  This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

  I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

  I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

  I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

  I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

  And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

  Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

  Thank you

  When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

  If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

  go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

  Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

  Courtesy of JoseIbarra

  You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

  Here's how:

  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 what you have (no XP media required).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  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:

  RC. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

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

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  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 prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify 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.

  ===============

  as for the other problems:

  did you use Registry cleaners?

  These can damage your system

  You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

  ===============

  Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

• Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  1. Impossibile to "start Windows because the following file is missing or damaged. Windows system32 config system

  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).

  There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so corruption of file system must be fixed first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.

  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.

  Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required).

  A CD of XP Recovery Console is not the same as the recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

  If you have any bootable CD to run the XP Recovery Console or that you are not sure what type of bootable CD you have, can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  If you need instructions to create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console, we can predict that too (just ask).

  After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

  C:\WINDOWS

  For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

  Chkdsk /r

  For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's 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.

  The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

• Problems starting Windows XP. I get "the following file is missing or damaged. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM"message.

  Original title: start windows xp questions

  Windows xp. When I try to start the system I get the message "the following file is missing or damaged. \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM... I have an xp disk and code but not sure if it is the origanal. When I start the computer, it does not start the windows xp disc.

  If you get the message hal.dll missing, your system is still booting from the hard drive and do not boot from the XP Recovery Console CD (I hope that you have created).

  There is no hal.dll on the CD you made if all goes well.

  You must enter the BIOS of your system and make the first boot from the CD to your Pcakard device Bell looks like it firstly, instead to focus first on the HARD drive (make the drive the second choice for now).

  Searching the Internet, I found a message that says to enter the Packard Bell BIOS you must do this:

  Users of Packard Bell, you can access the BIOS set up by pressing the keys F1, F2 or del

  I don't have a PB, so I can't say for sure if that works, or what to do after that - you will need to look around the BIOS for things like the boot order boot priority, etc. and make the CD drive the first choice, second choice HARD drive, save the settings, then you can boot from the CD I hope that you have made using these instructions.

  Generally when the system detects a CD is inserted, it will sell you a message like this:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Then all the button and follow the rest of the instructions...

• Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  Can I remove the file 'SaveData.mig' after I run Windows Easy Transfer?

  I used easy transfer to move files from an old computer to my new about 12 months ago. The SaveData.mig file takes 22 GB of space on the new computer. I would like to remove it but I don't know if it will mess up all my files that have been transferred to my new computer. Anyone know if I can delete this file in order to free up space? Thank you

  I agree with Mohdrafi - you can remove safely; However, you should have a more recent backup of your current files just to be on the right side (image FULL weekly backup and an incremental backup every day for an external HARD drive - I've seen too many people get burned when their drive hard breaks down or something worse and then they lose all their precious documents (, photos, audio and other files).  There ARE recovery procedures, but they don't always work, and they don't always get everything (especially if you expect to solve the problem or continue to use the PC in the meantime)- and depending on your version of Vista.  Delete this file will NOT affect the files and settings that you restored using the process.  Could have deleted it hours after that the process has been done (once you have a good backup) and it would have been very well then.  If you have a good backup, I can see no reason whatsoever to keep the file.

  If the normal delete function in Vista doesn't work, try using one of the following free products to remove the file.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  Congratulations to the use of Easy Transfer - this is a pretty cool tool isn't it?  Not sure how many threads that we have here people with issues or recoving given him--I saw a lot.  It seems easy on the surface, but when it doesn't work it can become quite complex and aggravating (and I know people who have unfortunately never were able to retrieve their data and settings no matter what we tried).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• HP G60 - 533CL: HP G60 - 533 CL laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade-compatible to Windows 10?

  Hello:

  My parents have a notebook HP G60 - 533 CL running Windows 7 Home Premium OS.

  Are you aware of the issues/incompatibilities with Windows 7 upgrade to the latest version of Windows 10 known?

  Are there elements of Windows 7 which does not support the Windows 10 (e.g., audio, video) on this laptop?

  They installed Office 2007 Home and student version.  It will work with Windows 10 yet?

  I've heard talk about Lenovo ThinkPads crashing 10 Windows when the user tries to access its built-in webcam.

  The webcam on the HP G60 - 533 CL did not work properly when the laptop is released, but about a year later, after an update of the driver had been released.

  Are there drivers... for example, printer, screen, touchpad, etc..  ... which should be upgraded so that this laptop work with Windows 10 ?

  Thank you

  You properly the process.

  Macrium Reflect has instructions on their website showing how to make backups and images.  You have to walk through those before trying anything.

  It is pretty simple as you can, with the examples in front of you, walk someone through it over the phone.

• I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have a lot of problems.

  Hi all

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (build) 2600 and have loads and loads of problems. Windows keeps hung and everything I tried didn't seem to help.
  I brought this second hand from a company computer, I used to work and I don't have the original installation cd or rescue disk. I meet a lot of problems and everything takes forever to load and work. I was advised to run maleware, spyware, antivirus and defrag on the computer analyses and I did all that and nothing works. Also, when I tried to run the system restore it wouldn't let me, and when I try to run the scan disk after a reboot it does not work. As a last effort, I tried running SFC and it looked as if it was working, but then it asked me for the initial startup disk, that I don't have. so I tried to cancel it, but now every time that I reboot/restart my computer load SFC and I have to start the entire process. Also, none of my cd drives work. Please help me
  Also, I'm now a message that says minimum virtual memory is very low.
  I would be very grateful for any help or advice anyone can offer us on these issues. a million thanks in advance.

  Hello

  1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
  2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
  3. what exactly happens when you try to run the scan disk or system restore? You receive an error message? If yes then after return the exact error message.

  No software XP, Microsoft no longer offers that you will need to make arrangements for windows XP windows installation CD. You can check the question in the clean boot state.

  From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

  Reference:
  How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  1. click on start and then click Run.
  2. type msconfig and click OK.

  The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

  3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
  4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.
