Need repair, have no cd system

I recently returned home to find my pc crashed, apparently because of a registry problem. He suggested a repair running with the system disk. I tried to start in safe mode by using the last known good configuration and wouldn't work.

I want to try to repair but I have not received a cd system with my pc. I can't understand whether it is possible to get a replacement drive. It is, or there at - it another way to fix it?

If this is indeed due to a corrupted registry, I recommend free Linux Livecd such asKnoppix boot and then use this operating system to copy/move files in Microsoft KB article:

"How do I recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP startup"
  <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307545 >

You can start part 2, step 6, if you start from the Linux CD.

  • Wanting to repair Vista, but it tells me I need to completely reload operating system

    Original title: I used the installation files Vista with SP 2 saved in the hard disk has chosen upgrade to repair the Vista operating system, but he said he must need get changes in the original Vista.

    I'm sorry that I'm Chinese so my English is bad, but I need help more then I called you support MS USA team, thank you for your understanding.

    How to solve the problem? I wish always chosen to repair the operating system upgrade, I still don't want to format.

    Does, because who chose the update to fix the BONES need to boot from the CD-ROM, if using them installation files saved in the hard drive just cannot achieve the goal who upgrade to repair the operating system? So I need to make a DVD to reach the destination of the operating system repair? Is he must need I have to set the BIOS to boot from the CD? Before, if I used the Vista without SP installation disc choose update to fix the OS I must set the CD-ROM starts.

    During the processing of the repair, I went out for a meal, is it possible to happen chosed Yes or no auto chosed system choices but wrong then that repair cannot be reached? No error code.

    And I still want to get the answer quite right, if you are not sure, please don't talk. Thanks again for your understanding.

    * O.T. > phone call

    I received a phone call today (a third) saying that my computer has been hacked and that they need to get into my system to make the necessary repairs.   They have stated that they are from Microsoft but I didn't honestly believe that.  Has anyone else had these calls?

  • Needing to have Adobe like choice in drive D...

    With Media Center XP, some CDs that need Adobe to read them are not recognized in the D drive.  How Adobe can be used as a choice to open?  I had the home edition and all the CD work; When tech had computor for overhaul, he installed the Media Center.  I need to have Adobe to a large number of CDs that I can not use without it.  Can you help me?  Thank you 1 million...

    I think (but this is a guess) that it's happened, it's that you already had the ability to write files to a CD simply by dragging the file on CD icon (or by selecting "save under", then selecting the drive letter of your CD burner).

    The most common application that allowed this called Roxio DirectCD.  IBM computers have what we call 'DLA' (Drive Letter Access).

    These applications, collectively called "packet writing software", use a formatting system called UDF.  Although packet write requests are very useful because they allow you to use your CD burner as if it were just another hard drive or floppy drive, there is a catch: discs created with this software cannot be read on a computer that does not have installed software unless you first "close" or "finalize" the CD.  Generally, the software will ask you to perform this step when you eject the CD with a phrase like "creating this CD readable on other computers."

    Finally my guess, probably, what happened is that you (or whoever you got the CD from) created CD using a UDF packet writing application, but not 'complete' or 'close' the CD.  This worked OK because you had the UDF packet writing application installed on your computer.  However, when you had your computer 'to date' to a new operating system, the repair shop does not re-install this application.

    If my assumption is correct, you should be able to read your old records by using a UDF reader.  I suggest that you try either IsoBuster or UDF Reader from Roxio.  Or visit www.google.com/#hl=en&sugexp=ppwl&cp=5&gs_id=t&xhr=t&q=udf+reader

  • After hitting F8 on startup and choosing "repair my computer", the system boots normally. Why?

    It is supposed to be a menu after selecting "repair my computer" which gives options as to how you want the computer repaired. Instead, the system starts right as usual. I'm trying to restore my computer to factory settings and I do not have the original diskettes. I am running vista, so I think that F8 is right. I also tried ctrl + F11 without success.

    Hello

    It is not always F8 to start the recovery process to factory settings.

    Different brands of computer use different keys for this.

    Read the operating instructions, contact the manufacturer because it is their recovery process or ask their Support Forums.

    You also had to make your own recovery discs, if you have never rec'd the recovery disc to buy time.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • (Repair) virus killed file system; What is the best way to rebuild the system?

    System of Vista Business 32 bit SP2 from my child was hit in the wrong by a virus; When you run the repair virsu he deleted system files infected and he now gets repeat BSOD.

    No, the Startup Repair is not going to fix the system, and the virus seems to have killed all the restore points. also can not get SFC / SCANNOW to run correctly.

    So: I went to (a huge field of) struggling to set up a Slipstream installation DVD of Vista SP2 (since the original installation disc supplied with the system was only vanilla Vista).  I thought that I could load that and select the 'Upgrade' option and simply rebuild the Windows system, keeping all my programs and data.

    But no, after loading, the system informed me that "upgrade has been disabled", as well as the comment for clarification: "-to update, launch the windows installation"-that sure I can "t do since I can't display the corrupt system virus even in safe mode.

    SO - I have a few questions:

    (1) FIRST: was first my hypothesis?  In other words, if I COULD bring up Windows on the machine damaged (even if only in safe mode), would be the upgrade, go ahead and work - whereas the old system corrupted virus was also VISTA SP2?  Or - the installation would inform me that he could NOT make an upgrade because it would detect that the previous version was indeed also VISTA SP2 and therefore "knowledge" that he could not (really) do an upgrade?

    (2) assuming that the answer to #1 is 'yes', then: is there a version of Vista Installable (same one I might need to buy) that could make the upgrade, even if the Windows system being upgraded can not come?  IF this is NOT the case: what is an installable version upgrade of Windows 7?  or it is the sad reality that no matter what version of Windows I buy, I can't choose the 'Upgrade' option unless the installation is load/run Windows on the upgraded system?

    From previous posts, I have all kinds of good advice on how to retrieve data on corrupted system files, so if there is no other alternative, I'll do it - but this is my last resort because:

    b its a lot of your time working are going to extract all the files and

    (b) his work even more of your time then having to charge all third party software (including some I have no disks to install for more) if I find myself

    having to do a clean install of Windows.

    So, if there is no alternative to an upgrade - if I have to shell out some $$ for a new version of Windows, I prefer to do that.

    Appreciate all advice-

    Hello RDougShelton,

    Take a look at the following article:

    Cleaning a compromised system
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    If there is a virus on that system, in other words, there is no way to be always sure that she has been completely removed outside of the shaping machine and put it back.

    There is no guarantee that an inplace upgrade will fix this problem.

    I recommend to backup your data you mentioned in your original post.

    Best regards

  • Partition table does not have a valid system partition

    I am working on a Dell XPS 420 computer for a customer.  She has Windows Vista installed on it (not sure what version of Vista).

    He's doing a loop, wherever it loads to the point where I can see the bottom and the mouse, but it stops there.  After 5 minutes of him sitting on this screen, it restarts, I can't access one of the Advanced menu F8.  I tried Safe Mode, and after that it loads the crcdisk it restarts, it does with Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking Mode and safe mode with command prompt.  I can't use the last known configuration because it will just try to load and eventually restart.

    Things I've tried is that I ran a diagnosis of hard drive and memory, and they both pass.

    I tried the repair with the regedit option and load the system hive in the registry.

    I tried the bootrec command.

    Well I put in a disk for Installation of Vista and choose the repair option.  I did the auto diagnosis and repair option (first choice I think) and I checked the report after he finished saying that it fixes itself and needed to restart (which he did not in fact)

    Well the result that came was that the Partition Table does not have a valid System Partition.

    I tried the bootrec command, and they all said it has repaired but it did not, when I tried to do the bootrec /rebuild he gave me the message "element not found".

    I ran a test diagnosis system and I received the following message

    System test
    error code 0146
    Msg error code 2000-0146
    MSG HDD 0 - self-test log contains previous errors. Given the code and can be used by the support message technology guide to help diagnose the problem.

    be honest, I just need to know if I need to replace the hard drive or not, it's for a customer.

    I did not see if the HDD is set to AHCI or SATA in the bios again, but I will when I get home today, but I would like some answers backup.

    Bruce,

    Do you remember if you wanted to do a new installation or had you partitioned your hard drive to install it in a dual boot with Vista?

    If you do not have a BONE now it sounds lik evous was the first choice that clears your current installation.

    You need to reinstall Vista from your original media to recover your system if this is the case.

    Unfortunately, if this is what you choose, you have lost all the data that was on your hard drive as well.

  • repair Windows XP file system, some files lost

    How to restore my version of XP?
    repair Windows XP file system, lost files, and the sound card does not even if the drivers are installed. Themes are absent and some programs don't is not loading, connection WI - FI will not charge. System Restore does not work.

    tonythesiskolee,
    I would like to get some clarification.  When you say 'repair Windows XP' what talking you?  Did you run the System File Checker or that you are trying to make a repair to a XP disk installation?  You get an error when you try to run the system restore?

    There are two ways to restore your system.  If you have set up and run a backup utility, it would be the best way to restore.  Or you can reinstall XP.  This article covers the different installation options available.  Or if you have an OEM drive or restore partition, you can then follow the instructions to do a factory restore.

  • Found a ton of files non repairable by using scanning system

    Just ran a scan of the system which has found many non repairable files and I was wondering how I would go on these files for repair or replacement. System works well, but my problem is no sound at all (sound system or speakers) even if Device Manager indicates the onboard Realtek audio device is not working properly and the bios is set correctly. I updated the audio driver and tried everything I can.

    I have the results of the analysis in a .txt file, but is 62 000 characters, so can not paste here because the limit is 60,000. Is there a way I can provide the .txt file so can someone take a look?

    You could upload it to a public folder on SkyDrive.

    If there is a lot of non repairable files, it probably isn't practice of trying to fix all of them individually. If you have a full retail DVD Windows, not the manufacturer's recovery disk, you can try an Inplace upgrade.

  • Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... and for the last ten hours!

    Apparently, during Windows updates last night, my laptop itself cut because it became overheated.  When I tried to turn it on this morning, it would not load my login screen, giving instead a screen empty and dark.  Now, he goes through the Startup Repair tool, where it says repairs to try with a blue bar moving, below which it says repair disk errors, it can take more than an hour to complete.  The problem is that he has done this for more than ten hours now with no sign of whether or not it works.  The screen shows exactly:

    Startup Repair is checknig your system for problems... If problems are found, Startup Repair will fix automatically.  Your computer may restart several times during this process.  No changes will happen to your personal files or information.  This may take several minutes.  Attempt to repair... Repair the disk errors.  It may take more than an hour to complete.

    Help, please! My laptop is only a year old and I backed up my files not recently (there are several important to me).  If he finishes by turn on normally? What is happening with it?

    Hi Ali,
     
    Do you remember the update (S) that caused the problem to occur?
    Remove all external devices (i, e printer, USB devices) and check.
     
    In the meantime, follow these steps and see if it resolves the problem.
     
    Step 1:
     
    If you have the Vista installation disc, I would suggest you start in the system recovery options and do a System Restore to the point that your computer was working normally.
     
    Step 2:
     
    Once your system is restored, manually install the Windows updates to determine which update caused the problem to occur.
