New tough not start Windows XP

I have a T61p which originally had a 100 GB Hitachi HD.  I cloned that drive and copied on a new 320GB Western Digital Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT.  Problem is that when I try to start I have nothing but the cursor blinking in the upper left corner.

Here is what I tried:

Replaced the MBR, Boot.ini, Player ID, Boot cfg.

I tried to go the SATA settings in the BIOS in compatibility mode.

The bios recognizes the drive very well.  I can run diagnostics on it (check all the good) and bring it into the hot spare windows pre-environment 2.1 of the clone software (Macrium Reflect).

I tried to load windows XP from CD to run the recovery console and I get a message that there is no current player.  Someone can tell me how to make this work, you can.

joiseystud, welcome to the forum,

How do clone you the drive, the new drive inserted into your T61p as primary or was it external?  The player being cloned to must be in the system as primary.

Knowledge base article; The upgrade disk HARD on ThinkPad T61p   Another thread; Problems of T60 change hard drive

And something that I threw together with moderator colleague KalvinKlein.

A search in the forum "clone the blinking cursor", there is also a wealth of information

  • My office is behaving strangely, slow, sometimes does not start Windows.

    * Original title: strange

    OK, so I have a desktop with Windows 7 installed above as my users families. My family tends to put viruses or other forms of malware on the desktop as they constantly plugging their friends drive etc. Last week my office just behaved strangely, running slow, sometimes not start Windows and even run checkdisk on each reboot. I have however to discover the reason for all these questions, because it turns out having a Trojan horse installed on the desktop computer that allows a hacker to access my PC remotely. AVG detects whenever I had scanned my office but unfortunately the Trojan horse is just renamed and removed to another place when detected. Last week I did a new install of Windows 7 and everything worked fine until yesterday. I noticed that AVG was not updated yesterday. I first tried to install what AVG but was unable even to reinstall AVG.  I didn't realize that once I have turn off the Windows Firewall I can install and update AVG without a problem. However the firewall Windows has not prevented never AVG update or install in the past. I thought it was a form of malware, the origin of this problem, but after the start of the HBCD and scan with malwarebytes and also to scan using Kaspersky rescue disk. I have not found a malicious software. Even my windows laptop 8 I have no problems updating and installing AVG, while Windows Firewall is enabled. I really believe that it's some form of malware with managed to bypass all virus scans. Please give me some advice and let me know what is the problem and the solution. Thanks in advance

    It has been long since I had no faith on average. :-)

    Use the removal of AVG on this link tool to completely remove AVG, following the installation of Microsoft Security Essentials here ...

    In addition, pull it out of Windows 8 and leave Windows Defender to take over. You will have less problems you get with AVG. There is no need to install MSE in Windows 8, as it's already there...

  • Satellite L300D-11 a - do not start Windows vista

    Hello

    When I turn on my computer, I get the following error message:

    Error recovery for Windows

    Windows cannot start up. A change of equipment or software that has been recently achieved may be the cause.

    If the windows files are damaged or misconfigured, you can start the repair tool to help you diagnose and fix the problem. If the power was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally.

    Start the (recommended) Startup Repair tool
    Start windows normally.
    After a while windows automatically selects the first option and try to load windows in recovery mode, but then, I get the following error:

    "The installed software could not start. Click ok to shut down the computer.

    When it stops and I start the computer again, I get the same error message when I started with the 2 options of recovery mode or start windows normally.
    When I select 2. option (start windows normally), it loads windows and after some time restarts and then I get the same error with two options.

    I tried to boot from the CD (recovery disk, vista bootable cd) and computer attempts a while but then he gave up and start again starting from the HARD disk. (I changed to boot from the CD first in the BIOS).

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I have laptop Toshiba model nr: L300D-11

    Hello

    If I understand your message, you tried to boot from recovery and MS Vista CD disc and no recovery disk worked not the Vista CD.

    Is this good?

    Hmm that's very strange... Perhaps you could remove the laptop HARD drive and could put it into a USB external HDD enclosure.
    Then you could format the HARD drive using another computer.
    After that, you could try to reinstall new OS

    Please also enter the BIOS and set it to the default settings the compatible SATA mode value and try to boot from the Vista CD again

    Good luck

  • Satellite L500 will not start - Windows issue?

    My nephew is the owner of this laptop 1 year old and asked me for help yesterday.
    There's an eggtimer permanent on the mouse cursor and clicking on trackpad or any key does nothing.

    I ctrl, alt, del to open, and then select the Task Manager, but then the thing freezes. place then the only solution.
    I could not access my computer or start / programs, etc. by clicking on anything does nothing.

    I started in safe mode with network and updated & ran several programs - super antispyware, spybot, ccleaner & anti malwarebytes. the latter find stuff but unimportant or whatever it is was reported by none.

    It has none of the recovery disks because none was provided. He never made the recovery discs as advised when it is new, so I tried to make a series of discs, but it was impossible to read some files and I had to abort the operation.
    I have downloaded and run mechanic system but this found no real problems.

    When I try to open my computer, the answer is a long time to come and opens a page of help windows in m/s only. He advises the system restore but there ar no restore points available.

    When I tried to launch avg he behaved "very odd" to say the least. I uninstalled that too.

    I uninstalled several toolbars and games stuff that my nephew had but for all my efforts, above the situation remains the same. I'm trying to do a windows repair disk and will try that to see if it helps.

    I put the disc and restarted with poor results. He asked me to reinstall windows, and I agreed. I then, a long time later had a message saying that the computer has an error unexpectedly., restart to complete the installation.
    When I click ok to restart, the message is repeated. I retried several times - same result.

    I tried turning on off and powered by pressing f1 through f12 in turn. no difference.
    I think I need a new disk (64) of windows 7 or a recovery dvd set of toshiba.

    Any thoughts on recovering from a bad situation would be welcome.

    > I think I need a new disk (64) of windows 7 or a recovery dvd set of toshiba.
    > Any thoughts on recovering from a bad situation would be welcome.

    Yes, I agree with you at this stage that I would also try to reinstall a new Windows system or Toshiba Recovery disk image
    Usually the new OS install helps determine what s wrong here, from my point of view, it looks like the BONE was confusing to and installation of the operating system might solve this problem.

    But as you know, it's just a theory. I think that if would not help you with new installation OS (recovery), the next should be a RAM and HARD drive test

  • Satellite P300-28th does not start - windows does not load

    I bought Toshiba P300 28th last week. I spent Vista business successfully in Windows XP Professional with provided Toshiba DVD. Update Windows with Windows Update. After 3 days, laptop turns off suddenly, and because Windows does not start, it in fact does not start.

    When I press the power button / stop, it turns on, shows "Toshiba Leading Innovation" logo image option and "2", "press 12...", and it hangs and stops.
    I tried pressing F2 and F12, nothing happened.

    I can not access the boot menu.

    I put the Toshiba Recovery CD, the hard drive does not work. Recovery disk does not start, despite earlier I remember put boot CD/DVD at the forefront in the Boot Options to Boot Menu.

    I checked everything, power cable, took the battery in and replace after 3 hours, tried to turn on the portable power, without battery cable. Did not help.

    Don't know what to do?

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello Fiona

    If you are unable to enter the BIOS (F2) at startup settings there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I recommend to contact your local dealer where you bought this laptop and ask for help, or you can contact Toshiba service provider directly.

    What you have tried to do is good but if laptop doesn t allow you to enter parameters of the BIOS something wrong here, and you need professional help.

  • RUN the object that will not start Windows on-screen keyboard

    I use Lookout 6.5 on Windows 7 Professional. I use a button to fire a sequencer whose output starts a RUN object with a command line of the 'c:\Windows\system32\osk.exe '. Executes the RUN object, but I get a window that says "could not start on-screen keyboard. The window has only 'OK' as an option - click on OK and the window disappears. I tried the same object RUN notepad.exe with wordpad.exe, and they work very well.

    Anyone see what I'm missing?

    Thanks for your reply, Ryan.

    I have now found a solution – but first a few puzzles. I can use the Lookout RUN object successfully to start other executable files in the Windows\system32 folder - but not the osk. I can start the osk in other ways (shortcut, double-clicking the .exe from a .bat file).

    I copied the osk.exe to another folder on the hard drive and can now begin with the Lookout RUN object. I don't know why this works differently - but it does. Thank you.
