Repair files missing or corrupt when I can't repair or reinstall windows.

Problem is with XP Pro Service Pack 2
Error messages for corrupt files on restart to load the security updates

Help! Microsoft killed my laptop. After you have installed the latest security news (20 different downloads) my laptop gave the error message after restarting this file \system32\ntoskrnl.exe was missing or corrupt and deserved to be recopied. I did a reboot F12 loaded XP disk and made a boot from the CD. The drive tries to reload windows but fails during the copy of the drivers with another mistake this symc8xx.sys file is damaged or missing. I've spent a couple of data recovery in a hundred during the installation of service pack 3 gave me the blue screen of death. I can't copy the drivers or restart in safe mode. I pulled and reinserted the memory. Unhooked and rehooked the HD pulled the battery and then reinserted. I am so tired of MS release a product of poor quality with patches and fixes to do more harm than good.

I had this same thing happen to me once. What I did was went in bought a new hard drive and rebuilt the machine from the bottom to the top. I'm not fun, but I still have all my files and a lot like hard, which made me happy.

Good luck, I hope someone has a better solution for you. Please rate me upward if you find my post helpful. Thank you!

    Hello

    What operating system is currently installed?

    If Windows doesn't start over there is not much you can do and I recommend to reinstall Windows from the Toshiba recovery disc. Such a new and clean facility can help power Windows and the new installed Windows system will work also a bit faster and more stable if it s advisable to reinstall at any time (1-2 years).

    So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen to reinstall Windows.

  • Files missing or corrupt error message

    Pavilion g4 with Windows 7

    Try to open Microsoft Office library files, I get the following error message: "this program is unable to run because of missing or corrupted files.  Contact the manufacturer of your computer. "Also, seen in the library, Microsoft Office files do not display their characteristic icons (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).  All cultures view the Red page, icon.  However, when I open the files of their respective programs, i.e. all first open MS Word and then open one of the files affected by the program, they open without difficulty. I would be grateful for views on the resolution of this problem.

    By 'Library' you mean say Windows Explorer instead, or you want to say in the Documents folder in the library section?

    What version of Microsoft Office is installed?

    Icons expected loss means that files have lost the link with the program which aims to open. It is quite easy to repair.

    Follow the tutorial found on this external Web site to associate Microsoft Office files with MS Office programs.

  • file missing or corrupt windows\system32\config\system

    HELP - by on the title I did: -.

    The full, first part, follow these steps:

    1. Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.
      Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.
    2. When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    3. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
    4. When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    5. At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
      MD tmp
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
      Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
      copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

      delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
      delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
      Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
      delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
      Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

      Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
      copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
      copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
      Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
      Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

    6. Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

    Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

    If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

    batch regcopy1.txt

    With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use thebatch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands.

    Second part

    To perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged in as administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

    Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

    1. Click Start , click shut down (or click turn off computer ), click restart , and then click OK (or click restart ).
    2. Press the F8 key.

      On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.

    3. Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
    4. If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

    In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

    1. Start Windows Explorer.
    2. On the Tools menu, click folder options .
    3. Click the view tab.
    4. Under hidden files and folders , select Show hidden folders and files , and then click to clear theHide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
    5. When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
    6. Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
    7. Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.

      Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

      Note You may receive the following error message:

      C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

      If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

      309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
    8. Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to clickDetails on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RPx under this folder. Here are the restore points.
    9. Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
      C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
    10. Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
      • _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
      • _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
    11. Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
      • Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
      • Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

    These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

    The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

    The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

    Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

    Third part

    In part three, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

    1. Start the Recovery Console.
    2. At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
      del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

      del c:\windows\system32\config\security

      del c:\windows\system32\config\software

      del c:\windows\system32\config\default

      del c:\windows\system32\config\system

      copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

      copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

    copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

    Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

    Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

    Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

  • Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.
  • Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with the appropriate dossier_Windows if it is a different place.

    If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 2, and then create a text file named "Regcopy2.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

    regcopy2.txt batch

    Fourth part

    1. Click Start and then click all programs .
    2. Click on Accessories , then System Tools .
    3. Click System Restore , and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint .

    and now when I go to the fourth part and try to connect, it says I need to activate windows to open a session. If I click on Yes, the computer crashes just in my background image, if I click on no, this Chuck me back to the log in page... What is wrong with this blooming thing

    Please HELP - it took three days of messing around and actually the Ive got nowhere!

    OOOOO... should start here:
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes pulling and buttons power)
    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.
    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).
    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must be first using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk can solve your problem completely.
    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.
    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD, or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.
    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.
    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:
    C:\WINDOWS
    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:
    Chkdsk /r
    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:
    CHKDSK c: /r
    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.
    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.
    Remove the CD and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer and the report with your progress.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Can't update or reinstall Windows 8.0 - 8.1

    Well, I'm frustrated. My Acer Aspire P3 has corrupted Windows files. It cost me $55.00 for a tech get my computer to boot from a black screen. I'm unable to update or reinstall Windows make for "missing" files I also tried to install Windows 10 but I get an error code 80070005 It happens every time I tried. So, what are my options at this point? Is there anyway to "force" my computer back to factory settings?

    Thank you.

    In conclusion, I wouldn't need to take my Acer computer in the fix - it shop, in the first place. The protected recovery partition (refresh/re-install Windows) should be accessible through Windows without having to perform a recovery from USB when I first bought the computer or buy a fresh Acer today.

  • Why can't I just reinstall Windows 7 on changed hardware - die peripheral USB installation

    I have Windows 7 Professional installed from the original CD of Microsoft.  Also had Linux Kubuntu installed (dual boot).   I changed the motherboard and processor and graphics card, and Ubuntu boot still works.  So I know that the material is very good.

    But Microsoft Windows wouldn't start.  OK, I decided to reinstall Windows 7.

    I can't reinstall it either - in BIOS, works for keyboard, but at the start of Windows 7 installation of the CD, it seems that USB is broken completely, the USB keyboard and the mouse do not work, so I can't go to the next installation screen.

    What about Microsoft?  I thought you were better than Linux with the ease of use.  I want Windows for ease of use, I want Linux for stability.  Me to doubt what do you want?

    Thank you

When I load the system restore disks that it doesn't load until a certain point where it says it is to copy the files, then tells me that the restore is complete. When to start again, I said the file "\system32\hal.dll ' is corrupted or missing and reinstall... How do I do that?  Thanks for any help.

    I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

    When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

    This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

    Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

    Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid

    Hello

    If you need to save data to a drive non-Boot you can put the drive in another computer
    or in an external USB enclosure - either allows you to copy the data to a removable media. NOTE
    There are two dangers that these 1. The system in which you put the drive could be infected
    and 2. malicious software could be transferred to the new facility.

    So it would be best to do the above to remove the malware, and those that could eventually allow the computer
    to start of so it can be repaired.

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at screen - set the boot order to
    CD/DVD first and start with these to run audits of malware and the removals. Be sure to set the boot
    order return when finished.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
