restore corrupt disck...

OK, I'm really frustrated by that. After installing IE8 and the most recent updates, my computer started crashing, locking upward and all-around failure! It is a relatively new system (acer aspire x 3200, 8400 amd phenom, 4 GB ddr2, 320 g sata HD w / vista Home premium). as soon as I got my office, I've made 2 copies of my restore disk for good measure.

Well somewhere along the line 1 copy has disappeared and now the second one is corrupt and UN readable. I was just going to restore the desktop to factory settings, given that most of my important files is stored in an external hard drive that I take at work and at school with me. now it seams I can't change anything on my desk, no point of restoration and after running many different spyware scanns /maleware I'm always baffled by the cause of this problem. I can run in safe mode fine.

What should I do? Anyway is in safe mode to create a vista startup disk so that I can just wipe the drive and start from scratch? can I create one another under vista premium system and use my product key? any help would be greatly appreciated and I will check back here regularly for answering any questions that you may need to help with this.

Thank you once again

Chris

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

Or borrow a good DVD (not Dell, HP, etc.) Vista.
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

    Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents the start of the procedure that this article describes to Windows XP using System Restore and Recovery Console. This article lists also all required specific steps to ensure that the process is fully completed. When you have completed this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the State until the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you don't have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part IV. First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

    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.
  • When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
  • If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
  • When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
  • 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

  • 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 case windows_folder 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 the batch 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 on as an 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 the Hide 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 click Details on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RP x 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

    Part three in the third part, 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 case windows_folder 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 Startand then click all programs.
    2. Click on Accessories, then System Tools.
    3. Click System Restore, and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint.

  • Print spooler is corrupted after every reboot.

    original title: corrupt Printer Spooler

    I have huge problems with my spooler.  I tried every fix I found on this site, and they work.  Until my laptop is restarted, then Windows 7 seems to be obsessed with restore corrupted files.  It seems he has programmed it to file backup that runs the joint.  We have renamed the files, we ran all the scans here, we did things together of dependencies (which has never worked in a first time.)  When I do the scans, it is said he found and repair corrupt files.  Then I turn off my laptop.  Turn it on, VOILA!  Corrupted once more.  I really don't want to, or don't I think I should have to, go through the trash whenever I want to print.  I want a permanent solution, please.

    Hello VxShady,

    I lived the same problem and your last message gave me a few ideas, leading to the following solution worked for me.

    1. Open a with right click command prompt and use the option "run as Administrator".
    2. SFC can restore the version appropriate for spoolsv.exe, "sfc/scannow".
    3. Start the spooler service to confirm it works and set to start automatically.
    4. Open a Windows Explorer with the right-click and use the "Run as Administrator" option.
    5. Navigate to the Windows\System32 folder, right click on spoolsv.exe and choose the properties option.
    6. Check the read-only check box, and then click OK.
    7. Copy the file spoolsv.exe on the desktop for good measure.
    8. Reset.

    The program or service that replace your file with a corrupted version spoolsv.exe should now be unable to crush them. For me, this solves the problem, and the spooler service starts automatically after reboot.

    I hope it helps you too!

    Best regards, Dave

  • Model 410c - Windows 8.1

    After an upgrade to Windows 8.1 my laptop stopped connecting with my wireless printer.

    I ran the HP print and scan doctor 4.2. The Print utility allows me to print a proof on my printer wireless. The utility Scan says that the complete software solution is not installed on my computer.

    I tried to reinstall the HP software following the instructions on the HP help site. When you run the installation, I get an error saying "the specified service does not exist as an installed service."

    What should do? Should I use the Setup utility to uninstall, then try again?

    Once created this account, I would like you to perform a clean boot on the computer. This will prevent most of the third-party programs interfere with the installation of the software, since some third-party programs may cause this problem. Here is some information on how to perform a clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135



    The next step performs a file system check. To do this, run as administrator command prompt again. Type this command and press ENTER after: sfc/scannow



    SFC stands for System File Checker and it analyzes and attempts to restore corrupted Windows. Run this could find a corrupted file or a service and fix it. Once completed, it will basically say either no corrupted files have been found, corrupted files were found and repaired or corrupt files were found but did not not be repaired. Restart after it ends and record your results.



    Once the audit is completed, I want to make sure all Windows updates have been installed. Here is some information on how to install all of your Windows updates: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-vista/install-windows-updates



    Before you install the printer again, I would like to reregister you the Windows Installer service. To do this correctly, please open the prompt as administrator and type the following commands (press ENTER after the first command):



    msiexec /Unregister



    msiexec/regserver



    I would like to now you try to reinstall the printer software. If the problem still persists, please make another level 3 uninstall and restart the computer. The next step is to add the printer via the Windows program "add a printer". To do this, you must know the IP address of the printer (you can access this information by printing a Network Setup page the printer off).

    Now, open devices and printers, and then select Add a printer. Make sure that you select "local printer", when it asks you. It will generate an error. Once you see the error, click Next and select the option to choose a printer port. Create a new port, select standard TCP/IP port, and click Next. This action opens the TCP/IP port Wizard. Insert the IP address listed for the network configuration page and the printer name.

    You can now select the driver. Select HP, select disk, and then click Next. Select the autorun.inf in the current "7z" folder for the printer and click Next. He should have success at this stage. Try to print the test page, it suggests. If so, this implies the print driver installation was a success. Now, you can try to upgrade the software to make it work.

    If this does not work, perform an other level 3 uninstall, then restart the computer. Afterwards, go to the Windows registry. Before you troubleshoot remaining, please back up the registry. Here is information on how to do it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01817264

    After completing it. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BBBFC1-08002BE10318}

    Once you're there, remove the lower filter value in the right panel. Under this key, there are also some subkeys for example 0000, 0001, etc.. Double-click on and remove those as well. Once this is done, restart the computer and try to install the printer using the printer Installation Wizard.

    Please respond with your results when you are done troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

  • Printing problems HP PSC 1210 since upgrading to Windows 7

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I have major problems since upgrading my PSC 1210 previously hassle to Windows 7 Professional (32 bit) on a Dell Latitude laptop.

    1. connect the USB cable from the system causes to restart almost 100% of the time. (Start with her already plugged the same result.) If it restarts not who does not necessarily mean that it will print. Although the USB connection is identified, the document does not print and gets stuck in the queue; by selecting either restart or cancel in the print queue does not delete it. Or turn off and unplug the printer. I have to restart my computer for him to clear, but it still doesn't work. Also, it gets stuck when I choose to print directly to the printer. More recently, I've only managed to print after closing of all the HP of the process in the Task Manager. (The same problem with restarting forced to plug in the USB cable happens sometimes when the analysis rather than printing).

    2. on the occasions I manage to do print documents, does not print black cartridge, despite having just replaced the cartridge and the perflecty black print on the test page.

    I hope you can help because it's incredibly frustrating and tedious, and I really prefer is not to have to replace what was until what Windows 7 a perfectly good printer!

    Thank you

    Olivia

    Welcome to the Forums of HP savemysanity,

    I see by your post that when the connection of the USB cable, the computer restarts, the print jobs stuck in the queue since the upgrade to Windows 7, the black is not printing from applications, but prints black on the self-test page. I can help you with this.

    Run all the updates of Windows on the computer. Updates Windows Installer in Windows 7

    I have provided a document through the steps to see if this will solve the problem.

    Print jobs are stuck in the print queue.

    Download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

    Run the System File Checker. This utility allows users to analyze and restore corrupted Windows system files.

    System File Checker: run sfc/scannow & analyze its logs in Windows 7 | 8.

    The chkdsk command or "Check Disk" utility is used in Windows to browse your entire hard drive and find problems.

    Run the Chkdsk utility.

    Try another port on the computer and another USB cable just to exclude.

    If the problem persists, would completely uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

    Delete the files from the service pack Windows XP

    Warning If you delete the folders of backup for each service pack of Windows XP, you cannot uninstall Windows XP service packs.

    If you delete the folder for the Setup files and the cache for the service pack Windows XP, you cannot restore corrupted files of the Windows XP service pack or install additional features of Windows XP that are not installed by default. You can keep a copy of these files in a different location. For more information on how to keep a copy of these files, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    271484

    (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271484/)

    Files and folders are added to your system after service pack is installed

    Consider the effect it will have on your computer before you remove these files.

    To remove service pack Windows XP files, follow these steps:

    1. Delete the %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$ folder to remove the folders from backup for service packs of Windows XP.
    2. Delete the %Windir%\ServicePackFiles folder to remove the files and records of cache for service packs of Windows XP installation.
  • Removal of damaged and unreadable files

    After recovering from a failure of the HD, restoration has added a few corrupted files. I can't remove them and have used all of the methods suggested, I could find (for example, chkdsk, disk cleaner, unlocker, safemode, Hiren BootCD)? Apparently the failed drive content/caused some files to become corrupt were then copied to the backup file and more later restored corrupted.

    I replaced the defective drive and then restored from a backup, Acronis. The Documents and Settings folder found \temp so I could copy the files needed for new Documents and Settings. Everything seemed to have worked fine until I tried to remove the Documents and Settings is no longer necessary to \temp. Now, I have a number of different files in \temp which cannot be deleted. Error when I try to remove one of the offending files is "cannot delete [filename]: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    Can someone suggest another method to clean up this mess short of reformatting the new drive and reinstall again? TIA.

    Hello

    ·         Do you have an error message when you run the disk check?

    I suggest to run the check disk in safe mode and check if it helps.

    WARNING: When Chkdsk detects problems with the file system and tries to repair the damage, data loss may occur. Microsoft does not recommend running Chkdsk with the /f command-line switch unless you have a full backup of your hard drive.

    Attempt to repair the damaged file, the folder or the index system using check diskfile. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) in the Open box, type chkdsk /f :, where is the letter of the drive on which the file is damaged, the folder or the file system index exists.

    (c) click Yes to schedule disk check when the computer is restarted.

    (d) restart the computer and let the disk check run and check.

    NOTE: If the hard disk is large, Chkdsk may take several minutes to several hours to complete.

  • Software driver and C4280 install for Windows 7 error

    Try to download the latest version of the software and drivers for the HP Photosmart C4280 printer.  The download seems to fill correctly, but I get the following during the installation process.  Help!

    Process stops with "" fatal error during install it ' "

    Details of the journal are:

    "Now Launching = X:\hpzprl01.exe - inf m preload_drivers - lXXX f"X:hpoins13.dat"- no validation of the '-no. validate

    One or more files referenced by 'X:\hprdv_u.inf' is not found in the package.

    SetupINFListedInDatFile failed with fatal error during installation.

    Exit code = 1603

    Hi jbortohelp, it is regrettable that the issue has not been resolved. I'll give a few comments on what is my thought process:

    In terms of download and install another version of Windows Installer, it is compatible with all versions of Windows, unless an exception is specified. The latest version of Windows Installer is 4.5.

    You can try the workaround installation. You should see the 'recommended' and 'custom' installation options when loading the software. If you select "custom" install, try to install the driver to print only and exclude the rest. If the driver installation is successful, rerun the installation and what you want to install.

    If these steps do not work, I would follow the following instructions to perform a check of the computer system file:

    Go to the start menu and type "CMD" in the search bar. Now, at the top of the menu, you should see a shortcut to CMD. Right-click on it and click "Run as Administrator". If she asks you to administrative authorization, please activate the authorization.

    You should see open command prompt, which is similar to a program with a black background. Type this command and press ENTER after: sfc/scannow

    SFC is short for System File Checker, and he analyzes and attempts to restore corrupted Windows. Run this could find a corrupted file or a service and fix it. Once completed, it will basically say either no corrupted files have been found, corrupted files were found and repaired or corrupt files were found but did not not be repaired. Restart once this over and try to run the task that has been given questions.

    Now, if it is not able to solve the problem, I would make a Windows system restore. When you select the restore point, find the nearest point and use it. Here is more information on performing a system restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/features/system-restore

    Unfortunately, if nothing above resolves the problem, you may have to reinstall Windows. If this situation worsens at this point, please let me know. If not, let know me when the problem is solved and what stage appeared to solve.

    I look forward to your reply.
