NTLDR missing on a drive, I don't want to not start

Hi all

I have a few disks USB that I can boot the computer with them is plugged. No problem. But there is one in particular (NFTS, 1 TB) that its plugged the computer tries to boot from and I get the error NTLDR missing . I don't want windows to try to boot from that disk
I've never done this bootable disc at least not intentionally. I looked for the files in the root of the system drive and found nothing. By comparing the information of partition (windows disk management) with other readers, the only difference is this particular drive is healthy (Active, primary) while others are just healthy (primary).
The 'active' is guilty? If yes how can I do not Active?
Thank you

Not an answer to your Q readers but usb was never designed to be connected on startup, or a stop, for various reasons, mainly the risk of alteration of the disc, but I digress;

Open a command prompt and type DISKPART.

Type LIST DISK
Type SELECT DISK n (where n is the number of the USB)
The LIST PARTITION type
Type SELECT PARTITION n (where n is the number of the active partition that you want to be inactive)
IDLE type
Type EXIT to exit DISKPART
Type EXIT to quit the command prompt
Reset

  • Missing or corrupt hal.dll file. Computer will not start in XP

    All of a sudden my computer does not open in XP.  Says it has a corrupt or missing hal.dll file I don't ' have a Windows XP CD.  What I can to correct without losing what is on the computer?  Must have been an update last night, because it was working fine before.

    The usual problem with this message is not the hal.dll file is missing or corrupted - it usually just means that XP cannot find it to be abandoned because the file system has somehow got corrupted something like a power interruption, restart or abnormal termination... or your c:\boot.ini file is somehow corrupted (or both!).

    You will have to start on something to fix.

    Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Your system have IDE or SATA disks?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (This includes the plug pulling, power buttons, remove the battery, etc.).

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Then, you perform a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery first Console and report back how it works (which may be all you need to do):

    Here's how:

    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.

    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:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    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:

    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.

    What COULD something work is known as a repair installation.  It is less destructive of all functions of Windows recovery and rewrites the files from Windows system, including drivers, leaving your apps, settings and data intact.

    To do this, you will need to use the link to the installation media to download Win10 and burn a DVD or create a USB key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10

  • I don't want to not auto renew in a year.

    I just unknowingly has my package from cc adobe renewed for another year. Only, I discovered that it happened when I got the bank statement with the payment on. And as I got the discount for students that only lasts a year, you can imagine the jump in price as well. As I initially bought the package a year ago, I didn't even know who would be automatically renewed in particular without some kind of warning or way to stop what is happening. I want to know if there is a way to stop the automatic renewal, I'm sure I can forget again as soon as next year. I don't want to cancel my one stop account auto renewal.

    Automatic renewal is discussed with the rest of the information that you agreed to when you took the license - one of the problems for consumers with long/wordy agreements.  You should be able to get the discount student as long as you stay student and reapply this status.  As much as to thwart the automatic renewal, I think that you have no choice but to be on your guard and to renounce this project in time like everyone else - it's unfortunate, but that's how Adobe chooses to do business.

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly. Since it accepts no disc do not forget to remove ALL the power and control the
    cable connections - remove and replace (at both ends where possible).

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

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

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Hello Harry

    HARD drive recovery image is screwed up and you will not be able to start over. Only way to install the Toshiba recovery image is to use the recovery DVDs. You have created a following Toshiba Recovery reminder?

    Here is the original post of callback:

    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + Your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do so directly from the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original, factory-installed state even if your computer is seriously damaged.* +.

  • Captivate 6 errors: Missing file libwinpthread - 1.dll and the Application could not start correctly (0xc000007b) under Windows 2008 R2

    Hello

    I have a problem with Captivate 6 installation on Windows Server 2008 R2. I have 2 different scenarios where I tested it, but the result is the same.

    1. I used AMEE (Application Manager Enterprise 3.1) to create the installation of the deployment via SCCM 2012 Package.

    Note that the current package works fine on Windows 7 (x 86 and x 64), but not on 2008 R2 error after I tried to launch the Captivate.exe application.

    The error indicates that there is a missing file: libwinpthread - 1.dll and if I copy and made a recording of the present. DLL file then he sends another error saying: on-demand failed to start correctly (0xc000007b) so he won't ever let me launch the application.

    2 now, if I install the package directly from the Original sources (CD) without creating any package AMEE after completing the installation, I have always the same error about the missing DLL file.

    Is there a fix or workaround to install 6 Captivate on Win2008 R2?

    Thanks in advance and greetings.

    This seems to be a generic question unrelated to Captivate. Here is a site that lists the possible causes.
