Restore the system configuration files

I was running the restoration of the system of the laptop and the battery dies before completing the restoration of the system. After loading it that the laptop does not start it makes a loop on the system recovery options.

If you lost power during an operation system then your drive is probably corrupted and you need to clean installation using your CD-ROM Windows 7 CD or a recovery disc factory that came with your computer.  If you do not, you can contact the company who made the computer to ask for a replacement.

  • How to restore the system recovery files to their original location? (HP Pavilion p6540F desktop computer)

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion P6540F under Windows 7 Home Premium. A few days ago there was a problem with windows that virtually wiped out my OS and I had to restore my computer to factory settings. Before restoring my computer I backed up all my files on a disk. After Reinstalling windows, I placed the drive with all my files recovery on it in my computer and running the recovery .exe file that has started downloading my files. All of this worked perfectly well but the problem is that these files only stored in a file on my desktop and has not been restored to its original location. Is it possible to get these files to restore to the correct locations on my computer without having to manually, drag the files to their old location? Honestly, I don't know where many of these files were located before the restoration and many items such as preferences for certain programs are impossible for me to move. Thanks for the help.

    The backup that is used to recover only restores the files in a folder, leaving the owner to move. I agree, not the application of backup more useful, but better than nothing I guess.

  • Is there a process or program that I can use to restore the system and configuration of the system to the original

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that could help me restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. is not the restoration of the system. I don't know of retoring my computer to an earlier time, nor on the restoration of computer purchase. 

    I thought that my computer has been compromised in some way, and the intruder was accessing my unit via some sort of connection distance.

    I received the support of the malicious software company, and I think that my computer is fine now.

    And so the question with which I opened this post: I would like to know if there is a Microsoft tool or a suggested list of Microsoft that would help me to restore the system and the system configuration files in the appropriate State. I'm not taling about system restore. I speak not of retoring my computer to an earlier time.

    Whenever I start to notice the strange behaviour of my computer, I would like to launch this program and follow this procedure to reset all the settings and files to a suitable State. The reason why run alone to detect malware problems, and that if there is remote access to my computer inadvertently, the intruder can do a lot of editing of files which is not identified by the malware. and I believe that if I was able to run a program like this, all the changes took place, which expose my device, but the rules of behavior systems can be reversed for a proper state.

    I read an article on how to repair my operating system, but it forced me to get a copy of it; However, given that the supplied operating system with preinstalled on this computer, I could not follow the instructions.

  • Is there a way to restore the system to factory setting

    Original title: Reinstalling windows

    I would like to restore or reinstall the system on my computer because my computer appears to be infected with the virus and there are a lot of problem with the system as impossible to install net framework. I have never create any point before restoration, and the recovery of the manufacturing company (Acer) tool does not work for reasons unknown. I would like to know if there is a way to restore the system to factory setting. And also, if I have the windows 7 key product that comes with this computer (I think that its probably an OEM product key), what I have to buy a new key of product if I reinstall windows 7 on this computer?

    Thank you for your reply,

    However, I tried with the Acer eRecovery Management and there are two problems:

    • I open Acer eRecovery than Management with System Manager. When I click on restore or create Factory default disc, it says please wait and there is an infinite loading.
    • Also, when I use Alt + F10 to open, it says please complete operating system configuration process.

    Scores of recovery and/or access to them can get damaged.

    As the partition recovery is photographed on the hard drive by Acer in the manufacture of your machine, we have nothing to do with changing/fixing this recovery process once there are problems with it.

    As you have a preinstalled OEM license (Acer, Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    But Acer does not normally keep recovery disks for you to buy for older operating systems, so it comes down to borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 DVD to a friend, etc. and by using the product key on the COA sticker on your machine.

    Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all.

I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored.

  • Virus protection scans and restoring the system

    I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop that was purchased in 2005.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I had trouble with a browser hijacking, in the form of two executables: b.exe and msa.exe.  I deleted them, cleaned my registry with CCleaner upwards, and now I can use my browser again.

    HOWEVER...

    There seems to be something else that hover on my computer.  I can't run Spybot - S & D, WinPatrol, or the Microsoft Windows malicious software removal tool.

    In the case of Spybot, I initially managed to run a scan, but it failed after less than a minute and now any attempt to reopen the program gives me the error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, file, or path. May not permissions to access you the item. »

    For WinPatrol, I never received the same error message; I can't open the program.

    For the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool, I was able to extract after downloading and running the scan, but it lasted less than 30 seconds before crashing as Spybot.  Now I can't seem to reply to all - no error message or anything.

    I have Norton Internet Security 2009 on my computer.  It can start and analyze, but is not picking anything up.  He has not yet identify b.exe and malicious msa.exe, so there may be something wrong with her as well.

    And Yes, before ask you, I have tried to run the scans in Mode safe mode with networking, nothing helps.  It will just work.

    I also tried restoring the system twice, using two different restore points.  My computer tells me that nothing has changed in the system and therefore don't restore; This of course isn't the case since I obviously wasn't having this problem yesterday.

    Please, please, please help me!

    An infection on your computer, probably a rootkit , look at what you do.  When he sees an attempt to run a program of security such as Spybot, he kills the program and how to change the permissions on executable to prevent you to run the program again.  The rootkit is probably do other nasty things that you can't see, like sending spam or to join a botnet .

    You can run antivirus scanners and removal of rootkit programs available on the Internet and we hope that they can fix it, but the only solution is to reformat the drive and reinstall Windows.  That's what I had to do recently, on a computer owned by one of my clients in consultation, who did exactly what you describe.  Several analyses of virus and rootkit did not help.

    I wish I had a better solution for you.   :-(

  • the system registry file is missing or damaged

    When I try to load up vista premium 32 bit edition on my laptop, a screen will appear and say the system registry file is missing or damaged and the custom of vista so load up, I just need my pictures of my son on my hard drive, all the rest does not matter, I even tried to use one of these inclosures of hard drive to see if I can get the data on the hard drive on my other computer laptop but has not been successful, I just need to know how to recover the system registry file on.

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  System Restore restores the registry among other things, and this should solve your problem.  You should probably use the facility or the recovery disc to access this feature.

    You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (if necessary, you may need to do this drive on another PC / laptop).

    I hope this helps.

    Good Lluck!
