Re-installation of operating system could not and cannot start the current operating system?

OK to start, im using xp, I wanted to reinstall xp using the dvd I got with it. then I ran xp and has not clicked upgrade, instead I clicked on new installation. after it is finished, restart the pc and I went to the configuration screen. I went straight through and as soon as the transfer of file thingy started, he started saying missing files. Now I can't load up to new os or go on current...

UPDATE: I don't know how to use R, the recovery thing console but I really want to format and make new ones

UPDATE: after you press ENTER, im jumping directly to "ATTENTION: a/windows folder already exists that may contain an installation of windows." once I have press l to use the folder and delete existing, everything breaks down...

  • Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

    I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

    How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

    Any help is very welcome!

    Problem with the recovery process, contact Dell at the link above.

    It's recovery process from Dell, NOT Microsoft.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Try this to save your data:

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    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 1st 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.

    See you soon...

    Hello

    Here is another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can still read all the key character product activation 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

    I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

    If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

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

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

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

    You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

    Chkdsk /r

    Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

    If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

  • Repair disk Vista not working does not and cannot correct the disk error

    Hello. I have a disc error and my vista repair disc does not work and I do not know why.

    I tried "repair disk" in the start menu F12 and it will not work.

    Does anyone know an alternative solution for fixing windows disk repair?

    Anyone know why they would stop work?

    I too, have a mysterious GLOW RED on my screen and do not know if this is related to repair disk does not?

    It is originally the screen system 'black '.  My main screen simply vanishes in the dark and I have to restart the computer and go through everything new; checked the Direct X (up to date) and running hard drive Diagnostics, but the diagnosis breaks down due to the error of hard disk (disk repair-related?)  What is the 'RED' light on my screen?

    Thank you!!! for any input or advice!


    Hi Nansye,

    Until solve us the problem we need more information about the problem you are experiencing.

    • Since when are you facing this problem?
    • You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    • You have a Windows Vista installation DVD?

    In the monitor that you receive the red glow due to various reasons like failure to display drivers, hardware problem or if there is any what interference of electronic gadgets.

    I suggest you update to download display drivers the latest drivers on computer manufacturers site and check if it helps to solve the problem of the red light on the screen.

    You can access the link below and follow the steps to update the drivers to display on your computer and check if it helps.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Make sure that you do not have other electronic items kept around the screen and try to keep few away from the computer.

    If the update of the pilots is not enough, you can contact the computer manufacturer to check if there are problems with the material of the monitor and if it needs to be replaced.

    You can also run the memory diagnostic tool on your computer and check if it helps. Access the link below and follow the steps to run the tool from WinRE Windows Memory Diagnostic.

  • LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 parameter error and cannot start the primary database

    Hello
    I was getting errors in my RMAN backup script. I took a glance on the database settings. Looks like I made a mistake when I was in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 setting in the standby database. Instead of putting on the eve I put it in the name of the primary instance. I also noticed that the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 setting has been changed in the primary database where I put it first. I guess he's changed when I changed the sleep setting. I have two questions:

    (1) can the parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 be changes for the correct setting now that I set it wrong. The reason why I ask is because when I tried to change by using the following ALTER SYSTEM command I got an error saying something about conflicting attributes. I guess it's because the name of the primary instance has been upgraded with the DB_UNIQUE_NAME instead of the name of the standby instance. If I could change the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 setting to sleep first then maybe I can change the primary to the correct setting? Please provide markets.

    ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 ='SERVICE = < DB PRIMARY > ASYNC VALID_FOR =(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME = < PRIMARY_INSTANCE > '

    (2) the second question is you can start a database using a spfile? (I use ASM and Data Guard) I ask because while I was connected to the primary database I executed the following command:

    ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 = 'SERVICE = < PRIMARY_INSTANCE > ASYNC VALID_FOR =(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME = < PRIMARY_INSTANCE >' scope = spfile;

    I then stop the database and try to start but it won't start because it says to conflicting attributes. I don't create a pfile from spfile file before you shut down the database. (I'm bad). How can I change the setting for the primary database to start over. (The PFILE file is different in ASM. There are sub + DATA but has only a single line indicating where is the location of the SPFILE) I need to run the following RMAN RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM backup AUTOMATIC;

    Please help as it is a production environment that was supposed to be delivered only yesterday.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Michela,

    Lightroom makes a call the the AGkernel.dll file, but the file isn't sure what to do because it can't find the line of code within himself to answer. This can happen for several reasons, that fall within these two broad categories: AGkernel.dll is damaged and must be repaired or AGKernel.dll version is incorrect and should be updated to the correct version.

    Here are some things you can do to fix the file:

    -Record again with Windows AGKernel.dll: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/249873

    -Windows repair: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    -Install all the updates that are available for Windows: Windows Installer updates

    -Uninstall and reinstall Lightroom
