Hello

·        Remember to make changes to the system?

It may be that your hard drive is damaged, I suggest to run chkdisk\r and check if you are able to boot to the desktop. To do this, you must boot into the recovery console, and then run the command.

a. Boot into the recovery console. Check the steps that are mentioned in the link given below.

Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

(b) to fix the errors, look for bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, typechkdsk volume: /r, and then press ENTER.

I suggest you return the item mentioned below.

When you restart your computer or upgrade to Windows XP, you receive the error message "STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME".

    PS It doesn't look good for me. Good luck and thanks for posting back.

    It has been my experience in the past that a message as this means that either the operating system is corrupt or your hard drive is dead. If your hard drive does not show in the boot order, it's a major sign of a bad HD, but not100%.  There are several free testers HD. Most have the back, which means that you don't have to have an operating system to start their. If you are not able to test your HD with F2 or F11 functions, try one of them. You will need to burn an ISO to a CD file.

    Hello!

    My computer

    HP Envy tilt 23-k027c TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC (energy star)

    These latest OS Windows 10 (update of Windows 8, which was preinstalled on the computer at the time of the purchase in December 2013)

    Processor speed 2900 MHz

    A few days ago it started showing blue screens of death with a PAGE_FAULT_in_NONPAGED_AREA note all other hours, or sometimes 3 times per hour.

    I went through all the troubleshooting process, finished with a bluescreen debugging possible analysis demonstrating that the ntoscrnl.exe driver might cause the blue screen issue.  And on the morning of the next day my computer greated me with a black screen with an ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed.

    I can still get into the BIOS by pressing ESC at the present time of HP sign appear early attempts to restart.

    BIOS indicates that the hard disk is detected (yay!), so it is not the source of the problem.

    Memory and disk test went well passed, PASSED tests successfully.

    Pushing ' restore the original and exit "in the bios does not help.

    Nothing else works. Only these two ESC and F10 keys.

    How can I fix the system?

    The ' ERROR: no boot disk was detected or drive failed. "  May be a simple solution to redo the botmanager file.  This normally requires a bootable DVD with the repair function or a USD bootable with windows and repair function.  Windows 10 is installed, this would be my choice getting either the drive or the USB key.  HERE IS THE MEDIA tool of M$.  Make the work of another PC, DVD or USB and then - on PC - start problem that media and choose repair when loading of the POPup screen.  DO NOT install.  If you install it, it will eliminate your data.

    BTW: 10 Windows is installed, the HP recovery disk will return the PC to Windows 8.

    Hi serene,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

    • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
    • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
      1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
      2. In the section back up , click change settings.
      3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
      4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
      5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
      6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
      7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
      8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the following article for troubleshooting backup problems.

  • All files generated by a coil in sqlplus receive ownership of oracle: dba instead of the user of the BONE started sqlplus and run the script. There's a file with users owners of BONES of the coil.

    All files generated by a coil in sqlplus receive ownership of oracle: dba instead of the user of the BONE started sqlplus and run the script. There's a file with users owners of BONES of the coil.

    Script launched in until OS user 'A' on the 'A' server which launches sqlplus, then connects to a remote database through a service of tnsnames.ora as another user of the database and the results of this script are spoulées on the server "A".

    The file queued on the old server is written with rw-rw-r: read write user, group read the writing, reading and possession header that is the user of the OS. The file queued on the new server is written to rw-r-r user: reading writing, reading group, public reading and ownership oracle: dba.

    "" The user then has no privileges to modify the file and continue the process of transmitting the file, editing and deleting the file for the next set of commands. This allows us to keep the possibility to migrate to the new server we are unable to process orders.

    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus - s user/password@prd1 @./script/CustomScript/R12_OM_UFPC-oracle.sql

    Background: old server running 4.8, Oracle 10.2.0.4 OEL

    New server running OEL 6.5, Oracle 11.2.0.4

    Tested so far:

    File and update umask to 0002 instead of 0022 is now generated as rw-r-r. However, the property is still oracle: dba.

    Update of ownershipt of $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.exe of oracle: oracle (edi added the user to the oracle group) and chmod 6751 oracle.exe. This created several problems where crucial scripts, that is to say of sqlplus failed to run.

    Added! chmod 755 output.file.name - OS user 'A' is not allowed to change to mod.

    Added! command cp MV output file and that generated the file as a user of the operating system: oracle. It is a potential work around in case of emergency, but the developer would have to rewrite the countless scripts.

    Any ideas?

    I have reproduced the behavior of the old server and am able to spool a file via sqlplus under OS user. No changes have been made on the remote database server. All the changes have been on the new server hosting a small 11.2.0.4 database on a server running OEL 6.5 32 - bit OS.

    (1) removed the sticky bit $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus using chmod u-s, g-s, o - s suggestion of Billy ~ Verreynne

    (2) modified the main group for the 'oracle' user match the user operating system applications, while maintaining membership in the groups 'oracle' and 'dba '.

    -We are dealing with here EDI processes, so the Group was called edi.

    (3) modified property of the files tnsnames.ora and listener.ora for oracle: edi

    (4) restart the receiver

    (5) disconnect / reconnect

    Script runs as expected, the output file contains the correct ownership and permissions.

    Thank you all for taking a look and offering options.

  • NEED to recover files from the xp computer that does not start.

    I changed startup on an old xp computer programs and now it does not start (I can accidentally put driver not run at startup). blue screen; STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF8992528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) xp sp3 no safe mode without recovery does Center no disc. I just bought a computer to try to recover the information with win 7 but can not slave the drive to him because it is ide and the new computer is too modern. I need to save files are important on the xp computer is it possible to save them?

    I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

    -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
    -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
    -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
    -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
    -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
    -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
    -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
    -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
    -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

    It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!
