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!

  • Cannot reinstall Windows XP after the removal of Windows 8. The installation does not complete.

    I installed win 8 January last on a xp pro machine, which was in surplus. I uninstalled the victory 8 and now impossible to reinstall win xp pro

    The computer is a homemade which ran from win xp pro for several years. I installed win 8 trial knowing that it would take a new installation of XP Pro after the expiration of the 8 victory. I have reset my bios on a cd first and started in the installation cd after installing win xp, it went to boot, and the cd has been removed. a restart was launched and he went into the bios to save install and after the robot below the windows splash logo made 3 passes, he stopped at halfway. After this is is spent in attempts to bppting I noticed that whenever the start stopped he left the Num lock, cap lock, and scroll liux lights were all on on the keyboard. I traded my keyboard with one of my current computer and it always occurres. I started to reload several times now and always the same. No bios settings have helped.

  • Satellite A660 boots up to the black screen with blinking cursor not upper left

    My new Satellite A660-10W sometimes (not always), when turned on, boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left. If I stop by pressing the power button, it stops immediately. I then wait a few seconds and press the power button again and then it usually starts very well.

    Could it be updated during this process and I'll be more patient (usually wait a few minutes) before shutting down when this happens?

    Usually something like that shouldn't happen. Satellite A660 is no different from all the other models and OS must be loaded shortly after Toshiba welcome screen appears.

  • Computer has a black screen with a message "power off, then reinstall the jumper in normal mode position."

    Original title: black screen?

    My computer has a black screen with: turn off power and reinstall the jumper in normal mode position? Help!

    Hi Miguel C.
     
    a. What is the brand of your computer?
     
    b. do you remember of any changes to your machine before the question?
     
    I don't know what motherboard you have, but some is shipped with the 'Clear CMOS' jumper in the position unequivocally. Check the manual of your motherboard for this rider and make sure that it is in the normal position.
     
    J7B1 computer configuration jumper block requires a single rider set the configuration of the BIOS Setup utility. This allows the configuration in the configuration utility BIOS, including the frequency of bus and the processor motherboard speed.
     
    Note: Do not move this jumper with the computer turned on.

    Warning of the BIOS:
    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.
     
    I think, you'd be best to contact the manufacturer of the motherboard as this seems to be a motherboard problem.

  • After the removal of a virus, shortcuts are now asking what program to open it with Vista

    I have kaspersky anti virus and it has detected a virus, deleted and I thought everything was fine, but when I click on something like the calculator, Notepad, firefox, whatever it is, it asks me to choose what program I want to open it instead of open it automatically. This isn't a big deal, but it is very irritating and annoying. Other profiles on my computer seem to be. The account is not an administrator account, but has information, I want to keep. Any advice would be appreciated. I ran several other spyware and antivirus scans and all my computer ratio is not affected. Thanks again

  • Try to install Windows Vista. When the system starts, I get a black screen with no message and no prompt.

    before starting up the plant, black screen

    A friend gave me the laptop since they bought a new.  I tried to do a clean install of Windows Vista on a laptop Gateway P6831 FX.  After changing the boot order in the bios settings, the dvd starts to spin.  The only thing that appears on the screen is a screen black/Bank.  I'm never invited with the message 'Press any key to start the installation' to start copying the files for vista.

    The Bios recognizes the hard drive (Sata).  I don't know what to do at this point.  Help, please.

    I fixed it.  I looked at a few other responses in this forum and used the SATA drivers during the installation of Windows XP.  After that, I've upgraded to Vista.

  • Trying to copy and paste a screenshot of a video game and stick it on the paint. All I get is a black screen Uni I put any graphic setting. How to paste it on Paint? I am able to do it on Vista, but not on Window7.

    Screenshots to work in painting with Windows7, unable to work, all I get is a solid black screen capture.

    I thought that is no longer a problem in the current version of Windows. In previous versions all that depended on what you were trying to catch and how it was made.

    First, make sure the game doesn't have its own ways to make screenshots. There are a lot of games that allow you to do and screenshots that are just after that saved to a folder. You must search settings keyboard... maybe you will find a similar option. What is the name of your game... maybe I can try to find this option.

    Other things... maybe it will be possible to intercept a tool cutting, then try this: when you're in the game, press the Windows key (it will open menu start without closing a game) > all programs > Accessories > capture tools > press an arrow next to new , and select full-screen Snip

  • 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.

  • HOW CAN I GET WINDOWS XP IS INSTALLED AFTER THE REMOVAL OF WINDOWS 7?

    When I bought my computer that he had installed Windows 7 and I got a trial of 60, because I couldn't afford to buy the software, I deleted windows 7 and am trying to install my purchased Windows XP, but it is blocked because the computer says I have a newer version of windows and so it will not let me install XP.  What can I do?

    Assuming that your computer supports XP (XP device drivers are available), then first delete the existing partition of Windows 7 (do not delete the partition recovery in case you want to revert to windows 7 at a later date). Then partition and format the hard disk during installation.
