ProBook 4530 s: Windows will not start with bad secondary hdd

HP Probook 4530 s

Windows 10 64 - bit

Hi all

I have my windows installed on a Samsung 840 Series SSD 120 GB and a WD 320 HDD as secondary drive in a basket in the dvd disc space. The two worked very well.

I got 301 MB of unallocated HARD disk space and the rest as a partition.  I used MiniTool Partition Wizard 9 wish that one partition with all the space unallocated. After the changes have taken effect, it showed the hard drive as a 'bad disk '. I thought that I should restart windows to solve this problem. After that restart the laptop is stuck on the start screen that you can access the BIOS, the caps lock light flashes 5 times several times and then stops. The hard drive seems to be on and I can't access BIOS.

When I remove the disk hard windows starts very well.

I solved it myself.

Set quick start.

then the drive gives a letter.

  • Pavilion p6 - 2120t: Windows will not start with the new graphics card

    Installed a Zotac GT 740 profile down in my desktop PC graphics card HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t and now the PC does not start.

    HP Pavilion p6 - 2120t CTO desktop PC

    Configuration:
    Intel Pentium CPU [email protected]
    4.0 GB RAM
    Intel HD Graphics Driver version Family: 8.15.10.2291 dated 27/01/2011
    Motherboard: IPISB-CU (Carmel2) (1 open PCI Express 16 expansion slot pins)

    BIOS to Version 7.18

    Running:
    Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit w/service pack 1
    Two monitors (VGA, 1 digital port 1)

    Before installing the new graphics card, I replaced the power supply original 300w with a 400w power supply.

    For starters, I disabled the onboard graphics in Device Manager. Then, I opened the case and installed the GT-740 in the open PCI Express slot. I made sure that the card was fully engaged in the slot.

    I plugged both monitors to their connections voted on the new map.

    When I tried to boot the PC, the digital monitor displays the screen HP (the one that indicates which key support to achieve the start menu) and then frozen. No other entries of key or mouse have been accepted.

    The PC then sounds 4 short beeps (about 10 seconds between each beep) and then a long beep before turning off the signal to the screen.

    Then, I removed the new graphics card on the PC that starts then. I have reactivated the original graphics drivers and the PC then worked normally.

    Tried the above process two more times with the same results.

    I then went into the start menu to look at the BIOS. The menu of the BIOS shows two options:

    > Sources of boot UEFI

    Windows Boot Manager

    > Sources of boot legacy

    ATAP I CD/DVD player

    SATA2

    Hard drive

    SATA0

    Network controller (Realtek PXE B06 D00)

    PC using UEFI Boot Manager Windows boots normally

    I have not tried Legacy Boot Sources because I don't know which one to choose.

    I went to the HP site and looked for an update to the newest BIOS, but updating them is a rev version 7.16 while my PC shows my BIOS to version 7.18

    I know that others have had a similar problem but I have not seen a solution that works for my PC.

    Any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    Your PC isn't spec'd to run Windows 7 using the Windows Boot Manager.  I expect to a UEFI-based graphics card likely to work on an HP PC that does not have a BIOS version 8.

    The below listed OEM HP, graphics cards should work in your PC using a normal non - UEFI W7 and W8 installation.

  • Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    Why my TestStand deployment installation appear under my Windows will not start menu of my target machine?

    I managed to install the deployments of work to the target machines. However, I expected to see the classified facility "My TestStand system" in my Start menu, but it is not. Am I misunderstanding something here?

    Also, if I do another target second deployment to the station as "My TestStand system B", all LabVIEW files in my previous installation for "My system TestStand" disappear from the directory (c:\Program Files\My TestStand system) target.

    I use TestStand Professional 4.2.1 on Windows XP and LabVIEW 2009 development station.

    Thank you Paul,.

    That solved my second problem and inspired me to look deeper for the response to my first problem. The answer lies in the tab 'distributed file","Installer properties' box 'create a program item:

    Wouldn't be nice if it is automatically checked by default for main sequence files? Wouldn't also nice if "Upgrade Code" was regenerated automatically by default whenever we have saved the file *.tsd under another name?

    Hi DavidMitchell,
    I would first remove all external devices from the computer and try to start again. This means that any player mp3, external drives, USB storage devices, etc.

    If this does not work and you're still stuck on these 5 options you listed above, then it might be time to use the Recovery Console.

    Please see the following thread:

    This is an article on what exactly is the Recovery Console and how to use it properly.

  • Satellite P20-761: Windows will not start - it loads agp.sys then freezes

    When I pass my laptop it starts with the Toshiba logo as if commissioning, but then the screen goes black with the following message:

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware of software change might have caused this... etc etc.

    Then I have a list of options to choose from:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt
    Last good known Configuration
    Start windows normally

    If I have the choice between the options of safe mode the screen goes through a list of files ending with: multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\DRIVE.sys, then freezes.

    If I have the choice between the last two options simply, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

    Of I'm desperate is not to lose all the data that I have accumulated on the laptop. Stupid me not a not bother with backups.

    Discs only can I find supplied with the laptop are 'tools and utilities' and 'product recovery dvd - rom '. Seeing that I am not a technical interest, I'm afraid to try just in case I lose all my most important files.

    Help, please! Answers must be plain English as like I said I'm not really technical. Thank you. I cross my fingers.

    Sounds like something wrong with the graphics card or with the graphics driver.

    I think that you have no other choice than to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and attempt to reinstall the OS. I hope that the graphics card doesn t malfunctions.

    It's very sad, because in this case, you will lose the data on the HARD drive.
    Optionally, you can remove the HARD drive and then to connect to little via the USB port on the other computer, then you can make a backup of your data.

  • SatelliteU300 will not start with power connected and fully charged battery

    I just bought a U300-13U. It works fine when charging the battery and AC is connected. However, if left to recharge completely it does not start with connected AC. Unpluging the power or remove the battery and running on AC make it work very well. Is a 'feature' to stop an overload or overheating of the battery, or just a problem with this machine. I want to run with AC and battery than both connected all the time like I did with all my other laptops.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hello Andy

    Of my friends has this small U300 and everything works well. I got it a few weeks ago to test the family Windows XP Setup and it works perfectly.

    Please test again very carefully and if the same thing happen again once I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. They check your laptop. I have to be honest and say that describes the problem of strange sounds to me and please, don't wait too long. Contact the service as soon as possible.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Windows will not start completely freezes...

    Hey!
    I had a problem that my laptop HP 7 windows does not start more... It takes time to get the Palm from windows screen and then it freezes when it gets to the office. Anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? I was thinking about the HP system recovery, but I don't know if that clears all my data or resets just windows. Don't want to lose all my data if its possible somehow. (I have the system on different hard drive recovery not on disks by the way).

    Hello

    Hard disk 1 (303) fast means hard himself is a failure and change Windows is not going to help.  Replacing the hard drive in a laptop is surprisingly easy.  Although the machine in the following link is different from yours, the process is almost identical.

    Replacement hard drive HP

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

    If you do not have your restore CD, try the link below to see if you can order a replacement.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

    A possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

  • Laptop with Windows XP - windows will not start! __

    KIM when I start my computer, the advanced screen comes up with "run windows normally" run in safe mode, etc.  I tried this, but it does not work.  The windows logo comes with the banner running beneath the logo as it tries to start, but never does.  Any help please?

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

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

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    Fill in the blank:

    My system worked well until ___.

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop of just not being able to go beyond the screen boot options.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start pressing the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restarts on system failure, and then select it.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.
    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
