Rebuild the system

Hello

I have a laptop Dell XPS L502X (is no longer under warranty) and the hard drive failed the other week.  I'm from a hard drive again and try to install windows7 installation gets so far by saying that there is no CD/DVD device driver.

I put in the disk of driver provided by Dell and windows install can not detect all the drivers.  I then stopped only just put in the driver disk and booted from CD/DVD writing in the boot options.  It starts to load the disc, but then, I get the following error:

MSCDEX. EXE version 8.0 CD-ROM file manager

Copy right (c) 2005 Dell Inc. All rights reservered.

Driver not found: 'EXTCD001 '.

A:\MSCDEX. EXE requires a driver name.

Source and destination cannot be the same file

Source and destination cannot be the same file

Then she sits down with a flashing on A:\ curor >

someone has seen it before and know what I can do to get Windows 7 installed

Thank you very much

Hi Jpeee,

The missing driver CD error door on the drivers disk. The operating system must be installed first. Boot to the BIOS (F2) and set the controller to ATA mode. Windows 7 Setup will then see your hard drive.

  • (Repair) virus killed file system; What is the best way to rebuild the system?

    System of Vista Business 32 bit SP2 from my child was hit in the wrong by a virus; When you run the repair virsu he deleted system files infected and he now gets repeat BSOD.

    No, the Startup Repair is not going to fix the system, and the virus seems to have killed all the restore points. also can not get SFC / SCANNOW to run correctly.

    So: I went to (a huge field of) struggling to set up a Slipstream installation DVD of Vista SP2 (since the original installation disc supplied with the system was only vanilla Vista).  I thought that I could load that and select the 'Upgrade' option and simply rebuild the Windows system, keeping all my programs and data.

    But no, after loading, the system informed me that "upgrade has been disabled", as well as the comment for clarification: "-to update, launch the windows installation"-that sure I can "t do since I can't display the corrupt system virus even in safe mode.

    SO - I have a few questions:

    (1) FIRST: was first my hypothesis?  In other words, if I COULD bring up Windows on the machine damaged (even if only in safe mode), would be the upgrade, go ahead and work - whereas the old system corrupted virus was also VISTA SP2?  Or - the installation would inform me that he could NOT make an upgrade because it would detect that the previous version was indeed also VISTA SP2 and therefore "knowledge" that he could not (really) do an upgrade?

    (2) assuming that the answer to #1 is 'yes', then: is there a version of Vista Installable (same one I might need to buy) that could make the upgrade, even if the Windows system being upgraded can not come?  IF this is NOT the case: what is an installable version upgrade of Windows 7?  or it is the sad reality that no matter what version of Windows I buy, I can't choose the 'Upgrade' option unless the installation is load/run Windows on the upgraded system?

    From previous posts, I have all kinds of good advice on how to retrieve data on corrupted system files, so if there is no other alternative, I'll do it - but this is my last resort because:

    b its a lot of your time working are going to extract all the files and

    (b) his work even more of your time then having to charge all third party software (including some I have no disks to install for more) if I find myself

    having to do a clean install of Windows.

    So, if there is no alternative to an upgrade - if I have to shell out some $$ for a new version of Windows, I prefer to do that.

    Appreciate all advice-

    Hello RDougShelton,

    Take a look at the following article:

    Cleaning a compromised system
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

    If there is a virus on that system, in other words, there is no way to be always sure that she has been completely removed outside of the shaping machine and put it back.

    There is no guarantee that an inplace upgrade will fix this problem.

    I recommend to backup your data you mentioned in your original post.

  • Microsoft Windows Vista: Rebuild the system volume information folder

    Greetings to everyone.

    (1) the Crypto ransomware locker has done the thing is on a friends laptop last week. This is a laptop HP DV900 Microsoft Windows Vista. Unfortunately, we have re-installed Vista, from the recovery partition, before attempting to restore the system, using the system restore. It is my understanding that the system volume information folder, contains files, such as excel and word files, which can be restored, but they are stored by Vista, in a special encrypted way.

    If I could get it back or if I got the complete information system volume, would be possible to replace the current and to restore the system to a time before the ransomware hit?

    (2) in fact, I've used a file recovery program and was able to recover a huge file with the name:

    {11d89a13-09a9-11e4-9917-cb6a370b41f2} {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}

    This file is approximately 1.99 GB, and is dated on 17/07/2014. I suspect that the virus deployed on 18/07/2014 as the most important Excel and word files have the date of last modification of 18/07/2014. And those files that have changed on the 18/07/2014 cannot be open - unless I have change the extensions of excel to .csv file, in which case excel files open, but the info is still obviously encrypted.  OK, so I have the part of the system volume information folder content, which seem to be of the part that contains the files there, as this is a fairly large file.

    My question is this: is a reconstruction of the folder system volume information, based on this possible of the file? In other words, using this file I have cancelled/recovered, can we restore Vista from this file?

    Thank you for your time.

    You cannot use the system restore to recover files from the user.  Restore points would be zero because of the new facility.  Update of installation dates would be irrelevant as well as software installations.  The new installation files will take precedence.

  • Had to rebuild the system: Media Offline (in red) on some clips. WTH? How to reconnect?

    It's likely siple, but I am confused. My O.S. (Win7 Pro) has become corupted hopelesly, so I had to reinstall. I finished, CS5 back in operation, but I have a project which serves as wobbly.

    A dozen clips from the timeline/sequence are RED and show that the Offline Media. Now, when I open the project I do not get a popup to their research. The clips are all AVI files and I checked, and Yes, they are where they are supposed to be.

    What is the process of Premiere Pro understand where they are again? I'm not find an answer that works.

    Thanks again. I don't know that I will have other questions.

    Oh yes, like, how do Media Encoder to stop using my drive SSD (my C drive) as the place where he did his thing? You know... you export to the queue and it raise Media Encoder and the sequence could be directed by the player say you, but it clearly shows the C drive as a temporary or whatever. I did change a long time ago, but now forget.

    Click on Clip offline > right click > link media... locate media > select.

    Export a Clip > TEA > select where to name them and drop it. (His name underlined that will be the same as your sequence)

    This isn't really an intuitive thing (year Adobe fail IMHO)

  • Rebuild the file system of the patch in Oracle Apps 12.2.3

    I worked on a test environment for applications Oracle 12.2.3, mainly in the field of the adoption. I encountered an error executing adoption phase = prepare and adopt phase = fs_clone.

    I have followed this issue down to missing files in the fs2 (edition patch) file system. In fact, almost everything is missing, including the APPL_TOP directory. I think I deleted the patch directory while fixing other problems encountered when executing adoption.

    Is it possible to delete the file system obsolete runtime adoption before there was a chance to populate the new file system? For example, during a session of correction your patch won't install or start-up, so you give up the file system and run adoption phase = cleanup_mode = full cleaning.

    Is it possible to rebuild the fix file system by using adoption? I thought it was a possibility, but have been unable to use adoption do that because he fails to run. Running adoption phase = prepare will fail because of missing files in the stage of publishing and adoption = actualize_all patch will fail because it cannot work if it is not in a fixed cycle.

    Thanks in advance!

    We discovered that it was. We have several test environments on our servers, and each has its own oraInventory in oraInst.loc. A change has been made to the oraInst.loc and is no longer, he pointed to the locations needed oraInventory. This caused adoption phase = fs_clone to fail because he could not find the correct houses. You can replicate this at any time by changing the phase adoption oraInst.loc and race = phase fs_clone or adoption = prepare. Once us returned to the correct oraInventory, fs_clone worked and populated the directory correctly, automatically. There is no mention of this requirement in the documentation, so we had lot to track down the problem.

  • Cannot rebuild the desktop

    Hello. I have a MacBook MB062LL/A (2,1-1181) running OS x 10.6.8 .tI was a little wide, slow running and other things. I just bought it used off eBay. The HD has been wiped clean with a new installation of the operating system (when I started I was greeted with the screen "familiar" multilingual) so he must be a Virgin installation (although Safari has quite a few cookies), but he continues to slow down really bad. I have reset the PRAM (Command-Option-P-R during startup) and I tried to rebuild the desktop (command-Optiom at the start), but it asks me if I want to rebuild the desktop. Can someone advise me? TIA.

  • Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

    Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

    Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

    They read these messages?

    Hey Buddy

    I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

    The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

    The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
    You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
    In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

    There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

  • Lenovo X120e in trouble with the system update

    Hi, I am building a brand new X120e (0596) with an AMD E-350, 4 GB of RAM I have loaded with X 64 Win 7 Enterprise. Everything is fine, but whenever I try to run the Lenovo system update I get the message: "the server to update the system is currently unavailable. Please try again later. "Normally I just wait a day and try again, but I've waited three days and tried every day and still not the same error. Also I tried to download things like the Manager of power and integration of hotkey directly from Lenovo, and while they install although they do not work properly. The power manager does not detect the battery and the shortcut keys work only partially. Usually after I get 'not available' error I try to use the update of the system on a 301 x and a t41 I have and it works on both. Also I had similar trouble on an older 120 x I have rebuild after the user filled the HARD disk with spam and viruses, but I attributed the problem to the reconstruction. This is a brand new fresh out of the box of Lenovo machine. Any ideas?

    Final update; I'll just recreate the image with Win7 Pro. The features I wanted in Ent do not work in all cases and I have Lenovo Tech Support suggests the redefinition thus. So thank you for all your help in any case.

  • Stop the system with 06000008e - ati3duag.dll

    I reformatted my C drive, install drivers and most of my programs.  After a few days to rebuild the computer system started stopping itself.  This continues to happen after 5 minutes.  You will understand that I had thought that the reconstruction would be frank because I was not present something new and I was already run on Windows XP SP3.  After reflection, I introduce a change.  In the hope of launching two monitors, I connected a second monitor in the motherboard, while the 'work' monitor has been connected to the video card.  The second monitor has never worked in this place. The computer failed at about 20 minutes after I restarted without a screen connected to the motherboard.  I tried to open a Powerpoint presentation.  A problem, but not the main?

    Issues related to the:
    (1) is it reasonable to assume that the fault is probably linked to the driver for the video card?  There is a more likely reason?
    (2) is there a patch from Microsoft?
    (3) is there an update to the driver who will do a good job, has useful features, interface of stupidity and arrived without a professional price?
