    Hello

    I guess that something with your HARD drive is not really OK. An error message is displayed when the system is unable to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM or HARD disk.

    You have to imagine a sequence (called 'boot-sequence') where all devices that are bootable (such as disk, floppy, CD-ROM, NETWORK drive) are "checked" if some boot media or the program is present. Sequentially, the BIOS attempts to load the next available boot media.

    In the case of no current boot media, the system tries to finally boot from the network that doesn't work not because you´re not connected to a corporate network that has sometimes things network bootable... :)

    So, I suggest you to first check your BIOS (by pressing ESC, then F2) and check the "Boot sequence" if something has changed. Check if the HARD drive is located on the first entry, otherwise set it up. If so, then send your machine a partner / reseller/service because your machine then has a really serious problem.

  • Windows Vista has crashed, "the operating system not found" error, can I load Windows XP on a partition?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5516, with pre-installed Windows Vista. I didn't know that it did not come with a recovery disk UNTIL my system crashed! During a routine virus scan, I got a blue screen saying a major problem has been found and the system has been shut down. I followed the instructions to gracefully shut down my laptop. When I turned this back on after the "Acer" logo he went to a black screen with info on my computer and the last line States "not found operating system". That's when I discovered there was no recovery disc & it is integrated into the system. To access this system you we F8 to enter safe mode, then Alt F10 to access 'erecovery management system. Neither one of these functions operate! Still getting the black screen with "operating system" not found I have a Windows XP my laptop previous. What I was wondering is if I can load on my Acer, possibly on a partition, in order to be able to get into my laptop and save all of my files? I'm terrified of losing everything I have! I have thousands of pictures that I can't replace. If anyone can help please do! I am on a very limited income & can not really afford professional help. Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    normally with an Acer you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the hidden recovery partition recovery, not F8, then this combo

    but you do not have an option to save your data, that

    in daily use acers normally have a system partition, a partition of data to save your data, etc. to and also this hidden partition recovery

    and read this on data recovery, too;

    Data recovery

    1. remove the hard drive and it slave in another computer

    2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard put in yout case then plug it into another computer and read the hard drive like this

    3. try Knoppix

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    BUT this method 3 depends on your hardware in the computer that failed

    read this information about method 3:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  • Error "operating system not found" Vista on HP Pavilion DV6700

    I get a recurring "Operating system not found" error on my HP laptop. To let you know - I have backed up all the files on the DVD machine.

    The problem started last week.  I tried to turn the machine on and got the error.  I did a scan of the hard disk BIOS and the hard drive passed all tests.  I then tried to insert the first of the 3 recovery DVD in the laptop, but they did not start.  Finally, I used the partion (by pressing F11 at startup) to access the system recovery program.  Then I did a system restore to roll back the last Windows Update.  Windows has started, but it took awhile.  I used the PC for a week or two (backup everything!) and of course, I got the error again.  I went through the same process above, but do not restore the last update of Windows, the system does not yet recognize operating system.  Use the system restore, then rolled back the most recent update window.  System startup, but it takes a long time to start.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Should I do a system restore and start from scratch?

    Hi Questionme,

    You're able to boot inSafe Mode?  If the system starts in Mode safe without delays, we can eliminate the default settings and drivers for devices such as the cause and you can use theclean boot in order to identify a driver or a possible confrontational program. In addition, runchkdsk /r from an elevated command prompt (also valid for Vista) to verify the integrity of your hard drive.

    Hi Gary,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you have problems with the computer not start.

    This problem can occur because of a hardware problem.

    Proceed as from the link below and check if that helps.

    "Operating system not found" or the "Missing operating system" error message when you start your Windows XP-based computer

    Warning: Be careful when you change the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Meet us if you face problems with computer not start or any other issue of Windows, and we would be happy to help you.

    Good day!

I dontt think that I was given when I bought my laptop a few years ago... Do you think I can get another copy (free of charge)) L

    Hello

    If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop 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.

    Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

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

  • Satellite C660 - 10 d Operating System not found PXE - E61: Media test failure

    I have a Satellite C660 - 10 d, which is part of the 1 year warranty which has suddenly decided it won't start and makes a strange noise that sounds mechanical.

    I tried the options F2 & F11 at startup, but I always return to the same messages some options I try:

    Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller v1.23 (28/07/10)
    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
    Operating system not found.

    I can't go beyond that and get the laptop doesn't work, which leads to my second problem.

    It is under warranty so I thought I would sign in for repair. The serial number is recognized in the section Product Support My. But when I try to enter in the repair section, it is said

    ERROR: serial not valid number.
    Please check and try again.
    Then gives a number to call which only works weekdays.

    So, I have what appears to be a broken laptop that I can currently connect to repair.
    If you are able to help with one of these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I'm quite sure that the problem is related to the defective HARD drive.
    This would also explain the mechanical noise when starting.

    PXE - E61: Media test failure appears as the laptop attempts to boot from LAN.
    Why? Because the disk HARD could not be found and the CD/DVD drive does not contain a startup disk.

    So the BIOS switched to LAN

    This is why replacement of HARD drive should help you with this problem.
    If the warranty is valid, get in touch with a local ASP in your country. Maybe you could get a HARD disk which could be replaced easily

    Hello

    For me, it seems that the HARD drive is dead and the laptop can not find the installed operating system.
    In this case, he tried to boot from different sources and finally LAN.
    But it does not and therefore, you get the PXE - E61:Media test failure error message.

    In my opinion, the HARD disk needs to be replaced and the operating system must be installed again.
