Pavillion g7 notebook: 8 not found windows system image

I tried to create a dual-boot system, and it failed. So, I ordered the hp recovery DVD and recovered my system windows 8. I had created a system image recovery composed of 6 DVDs. I wanted to restore my pc using the system image, I created, but any method I followed, Recovery Manager Windows 8 can't see or locate a system image. I tried to insert both the last drive of the game according to the instructions and even tried the first disk without success.

I am a pc repair technician and I'm frustrated because I will lose a lot of programs and files that I use in my business. Is there by chance a way to manually restore the files and programs the system image dvd?

How in the world of windows 8 can't see what image system created? I have read that the system image is saved as files dvx and have read that are stored in the format: drive letter: \WindowsImageBackup\computer nameYYYY-MM-DD HHMMSS \Backup, but have not found these on my box dvd of restoration image I created.

PLEASE SKIP THIS QUESTION! I HAVE HP SYSTEM RECOVERY DVD SET, NOT A PICTURE. SORRY!

I understand that you have difficulties when you try to create a system dual boot, and it failed.  You ordered a set of recovery disc to return your laptop to factory.  You thought it was a recovery image and a difficulty to do the recovery and now realize they are recovery disks and not an image.

Here are two links to guide you through the recovery process.

  • File not found: Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn

    Hello

    I've just updated to 6.0.3 merger Friday and everything worked fine. Tonight, I wanted to start my VM and it gives me this error message: file not found: Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn

    When I look on my computer for this file or any other file of snapshot, it appears in the Finder, but the virtual machine cannot start. Even a restoration of the snapshot does not work.

    I need to have Windows running for work emails, so any help is appreciated. I am running 10.9.3 Mavericks and had NO problems so far.

    Thank you

    Well the vmware - vmfusion.log said...

    TRUCK: Magic trouble 0x74725c7b in the header, ' / Volumes/Personal HD/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP Professional 2.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn'.

    It's probably because this isn't a zero-byte file as it should be if trying to replace if he was absent.

    How did you create this file?  Did you use TextEdit and he recorded under "Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn.rtf ' and you deleted the extension .rtf?  This is what it looks like!

    It must be a zero-byte file, and the best way is to use the touch command in a Terminal as in the following example.

    press on "Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn.

    So drop the output of "Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn" file and replace it with the attached here.

    The file "Windows_XP_Professional_2 - Snapshot294.vmsn.zip" joint contains a byte zero "Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn" file.  Double-click the file "Windows_XP_Professional_2 - Snapshot294.vmsn.zip" to extract the attached file.

    After replacing it and then try to start the virtual machine and let us know if it starts.

    Also I see that you have taken another cliché (35007 28 mai 13:34 2 - Snapshot296.vmsn Windows XP Professional) and I wish you didn't like it can complicate things however replace the "Windows XP Professional 2 - Snapshot294.vmsn ' with that I attached and lets see where you are.

  • File not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk

    When I restarted my iMac today, and attempted to restart my VM Fusionware, I got this message: file not found: Windows XP Home Edition - 000002.vmdk.  He offered to let me search for it and I can't find it anywhere.  So, I inserted my VM fusion drive and reinstalled and updated to the current version - and it still says it can't find the file it needs to run.  What should I do?  I lost all my information, like all my files from MS Money?  I had planned to migrate to Quick Books for MAC this summer when I had fun.  I didn't do it all from scratch.  What should I do now?  I delete all files dealing with the merger of VM and do a clean reinstall?  Is anyway to get my MS Money information and the email client I use PocoMail or is all lost?

    Hello

    As noted in the Continuum, you need not to 'access' merger to do what was asked. We work only on the iMac here. Do a search/search for files ending in hard.

    What commands you issued before trying to start using the virtual machine.

  • Recover Windows System Image in Boot Camp 10

    Hi all

    I have problems with Windows on my iMac.

    So I installed Win10 using the Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning 300 GB for it. After awhile, I realized I want to segment much more, so I tried looking for a way to extend this partition to 500 GB - I have tried it with a 3rd party app and didn't. I then created a Windows System Image, restored the fuser unit to a single OS X partition and reinstalled Windows with BCA - by then I had decided to partition 1 TB for each operating system. I installed with no problems and tried to recover Windows from the Image of the above system. But instead he apparently formatted my entire SDS, including the OS X partition, that the iMac will not start and more.

    [I have a backup Time Machine and everything, I also know I have to reinstall OS X and then restore from that backup.]

    The question is how to do what I tried bypassing Windows format the whole * thing. If this is not possible at all to recover from the image, I'll be forced to 'start from scratch' and I'd really rather not, 3rd party applications are welcome at this stage. Also, can I recover the files from the Image of the system?

    Thank you for your time,

    Bruncky

    PS. : Given that the Apple employee didn't know immediately what I was talking about: in Windows, a System Image is a 1:1 copy of my Windows partition around, as opposed to a backup that saves only files apps and not content generated by the app.

    PS2. : If I reinstall OS X from Recovery Mode, do I make specific configurations about the merger by car?

    This issue arises from a bad assumption made during the restorations by the process of restoration of Windows. It assumes that the restoration is made on the dedicated disk that has nothing else. Winclone is the best solution on Mac instead of Windows System Image backups. I have some time with a few users and I have tried with different levels of success. Please see Bootcamp not recognized after the restoration of Windows from image system for example.

    The question is how to do what I tried bypassing Windows format the whole * thing. If this is not possible at all to recover from the image, I'll be forced to 'start from scratch' and I'd really rather not, 3rd party applications are welcome at this stage.

    Try of Winclone.

    There may be some confusion between the Image of the system and the history of the files. Time Machine has no concept of an Image of the system, so it is also the terminology 'exotic '.

    PS2. : If I reinstall OS X from Recovery Mode, do I make specific configurations about the merger by car?

    No, unless you have built a custom Fusion car. If you have a Bootcamp partition on the drive of Fusion, you want to ensure that you're not crushing BC/Windows, unless a wipe/restoration is your goal.

  • HP Pavilion 6340: HP Pavilion 6340 Desktop with Windows 98, said "Not found operating system".

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion 6340. The operating system is Windows 98. (Yes it's old). I have not used it in a while but it has been in a local clean and clear. When I turned it on with the hope of finding some articles that I had out there in Microsoft, the following appeared on my screen: "operating system not found '. I have the original HP Pavilion recovery disk (there are 2 of them). My question is: can I reinstall these discs and NOT to lose any Word or Excel documents that are out there.

    I try to avoid big costs back to Best Buy. Hope someone out there can give me some advice on this.

  • Not found operating system - Windows 7 after Windows Update

    Hi all

    My Dell Studio 1737 was upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate in November last year. I have no problems apart from a few minor problems with the DVD player. Last night, ran Windows update and 4 updates before you shut down correctly installed. This morning, I rebooted and the message - operating system not found. I can't access the hard drives or DVD to try a reinstall. By pressing the F8 function key just the fact of restart. Any ideas on how to recover the system would be greatly received.

    Thank you
    Kevin

    KevinHB,
    Are you able to start on the CMOS screen (Dell)?  I think you press F2 during the Dell splash screen.  If you are able to boot to CMOS it recognize your HD?  You have a Windows 7 DVD?  If so check that the DVD player is set as the first boot device, and then try to boot from it.
    If you are not able to access CMOS or the DVD is set as the first boot device and won't start him, then you need to contact Dell, because it can be a hardware\BIOS problem.

  • Operating system not found - Windows 7, Sony VAIO

    When I start my laptop, it gives the error operating system not found. I have a repair disc, a recovery disk and also a backup system image. I am able to do nothing, as the laptop does not go past this message. In the past, I used to get this error once or twice daily, but when I re-set with Ctrl + Alt + Delete, the system would begin. No critical errors were found in the Eventlogger. How to start the repair process?

    Hi vasanjs,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

    (a) basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.

    (b) the hard disk is damaged.

    (c) sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

    Note  Some third-party programs or alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

    (d) an incompatible partition is marked as Active.

    (e) a partition which contains the MBR is no longer active.

    Method 1

    I suggest you update brings input/output system (BIOS) to the latest version by contacting the manufacturer of your motherboard or computer and check if it works.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    BIOS: Frequently asked questions

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you perform repair system on the computer and check if it works.

  • Problem re-installing VISTA after the removal of Windows 8 Preview Release, all I get is a black screen with a message "Not found operating system"

    I recently tried Win 8 on my VAIO laptop spare parts on which I ran Vista, after having previously deleted all the files and documents (I don't use often the laptop). Having concluded that Win8 will really work correctly with a touch screen (and the display size was bad as well), I uninstalled WIN 8, understand that I have to re - install Vista from my rescue disks. This I tried successfully a few months previously to make a clean reinstall. However, after removing 8 WIN via the Control Panel, I can't re - install Vista now. All I get is a black screen with a message "The operating system not found" and the rescue disks do not register. What can I do? I like Vista (although I now run Win 7 on my PC) and really want to put it back. Grateful for the advice.

    Well I finally fixed it by tweaking the BOOT BIOS settings and find something along the lines of VAIO Setup. I'm afraid, I just don't remember exactly what I did, but suddenly I found and ran 'VAIO Hardware Diagnostics' gave me a heart when it announced "no error was detected on the Vaio. Then I saw there was an entry for 'VAIO Recovery Utility - Recovery Wizard' and everything started to load. Since the 2 recovery discs I had. Finally, I ran MS Office and Small Business CD-ROM and now everything is back the way that it used to be. Here I had taken more note of how I got to the well Recovery Wizard. I hope that I never have to do it again!

  • HP Pavillion l 17-g192dx: not found boot device, please install an operating system on your hard drive.

    ProdID:V0Q01UA #ABA

    Hello, so I performed a reset that restore my computer to factory settings, I have chosen to erase all files. I've done this before, and everything went well. What was going on, it was my disc useage was at 100% a lot and that something was wrong with my computer then I factory reset it. While the factory reset is 44% in "resetting your computer" and the next thing I knew I had 2 options, stop or start with advanced options. Well, I chose to stop it, 5 minutes later, I turned it back on and I ran a SMART check has no that was the ID # 9367LW-86J89N-MFPX7G-60BR3 followed by the product id that is shown above. He said that when I start to Boot Device not found, please install an operating system on your hard drive. Followed by the hard drive (3FO), I can only click f2 and it gives me the link to visit the Help Center. The computer saying that it did not have an operating system was not the first alert, that I had, it was something else saying there was an error of hard disk which then became not having not not an operting system. I tried to go to f11 and go in this way, but regardless of what it always comes back to the screen that shows the found boot device, please install an operating system. Help, please! Thank you. in advance.

  • HP 15-d017cl Notebook PC: not found wireless device. No seriously, as * gone * not found.

    Earlier today, I was using my computer to access the internet (was simply looking at Facebook, nothing special) and suddenly my computer crashed.  He had a quick error on a thread in the driver or the device or something like that.  When the computer is restarted, option wireless connections would not pop-up, just ethernet.  So after a lot of Troubleshooting Wizard and pressing this button small adapter wireless without success (the red light was on it all the time, which is routinely), I checked the settings, but while the 'airplane mode' section is very well and has the small cursor to activate, and devices 'Wireless' below says "we found on this PC wireless devices."  Well, of course there should be some.  I tried a bunch of things:

    -Went to the Device Manager and clicked on network adapters.  RealTek PCIe FE Family Controller is the only element here, I take it is the connection to the local network, as is anything that works.  Under Human Interface devices, he has HID compatible wireless radio controls and driver HP wireless button.  They are both updated and according to the properties, work correctly.

    -Use Windows Update to check for updates, install and reboot.  Nothing new.

    -Use system restore to go back a few days.  Nothing new.

    Next option I could think would be to restore the driver of HP wireless button (HID-compliant doesn't have the option), and if it does not, an another system restore or reset.  I hope not to have to do, because it's going to take a lot of work and a shopping spree, I have all the pictures of my two years since he was born as well as a whole bunch of programs, not what I think I have the program CD for more (my husband had some items stolen awhile back).  I'd love for more suggestions, I've been working on it for several hours and my brain hurts.

    Hello

    Try to update the Bios and the last pilot wireless from the HP website.

    Where you're comfortable, reinstall the wireless card once to the back side of the device. If these two options do not work, I would say to replace the wireless card as it is may be defective.

  • Not found base system device driver

    Recently, at startup, I get an error message 'Base system device driver' not found. Windows cannot find the driver appropriate to solve the problem. I use a laptop Presario F756NR with Windows Vista (32-bit) OS.

    I checked the 'properties' of device and find the bus 2 PCI, device 5, function 2.

    Under status: this device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

    There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information.

    To reinstall the drivers for this device, click on reinstall.

    Click on reinstall just made sure another Windows search found nothing.

    I tried to download sp38689.exe with NO result.

    Help please!

    Hi, Bob:

    It's all part of this card reader controller stuff.

    I suggest that you do a right click on any card reader devices and select uninstall.

    If there is a check box to uninstall the driver, these boxes too.

    Restart the PC and if the drivers do not correctly install, download and reinstall the card reader driver.

  • Aspire V5 - 571 - "Not found operating system"?

    When I turned off my laptop and turn it on, I get the error message in the upper left corner that says ' operating system not found '.  I then hit the power button to turn off, and then click New to market, and the laptop starts fine. Is happening here?  Even if I select 'restart'... the error messge comes when he tries to restart after it has been switched off.

    It works when I just deactivated after the message and replace the slot - but I'm worried.  The PC is only a month and this just started happening a few days ago and seems to happen every time.

    Thank you!!!

    Two quick notes here:

    1: reset the BIOS to default settings is a very good idea, it sets the HARD drive to start the first and default options of start-up of the plant is affecting as well.

    2: change the settings SATA IDE mode is not recommended, nor do you need a supervisor password. Clear the secure boot settings are also possible by resetting BIOS to the default settings. And evolution boot to the legacy mode is ONLY a good idea if you plan to install Windows 7, Vista or XP "or another completely OS, such as Linux.

    Realistic, this problem is most often caused by being altered or modified Boot Manager. To resolve this problem in Windows 8 open the bar charms and click settings. Now click on change settings of the computer on the lower part of the menu that opened. Click the general tab and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to the right. Under advanced boot, click "restart now."

    The computer will load into the advanced boot screen. There's a blue screen with white writing. Click on troubleshooting.

    If you have data that you don't want to lose, you have to click on refresh your PC. He's going to do exactly this and leave your single files. However, it is not as effective of a thing and the second option. If it does not back up your data and try to reset instead.

    If you don't have files to lose or don't care if you lose them click on Reset. It will take some time but will reinstall Windows and rewrite your boot file.

    I hope this helps!
