but no help!

Check the XP CD is clean and Unscratched.  If necessary, wash and dry with a soft cloth.  Do a full format of its installed on the booted XP disk partition.

After installation (or if it fails), you'll need to start Windows 7 again by Marking Partition Active in XP Disk Mgmt, or by using the Windows 7 disc or repair as shown in the blue link tutorial CD.  If there is a 100 MB system reserved partition then it should be marked Active, another partition of Windows 7.  Then boot in WIndows 7 disk or repair CD to run Startup Repair up to 3 times separated until Windows 7 starts.

Then, install EasyBCD (click on Download - no name or Email required) to add XP to a Dual Boot menu by name and OS from Windows 7 drive letter.

  • After restoring to factory setting... ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged

    I have a problem with my Asus R500VD laptop.

    My phone was at a standstill after I opened a few applications and after waiting for a while, I decided to shut it down by holding the power button for a few seconds. After that, I got a BSOD error 0xc0000221 saying ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged. I tried to go back to a previous system restore point, tried chkdsk /r (no error based), tried bootrec with all options (it shows 0 found windows installations), tried a full restore to factory (using the on my laptop's recovery partition), but nothing has worked. I always get the error above.

    When I restart, it tries to automatically repair the system (that works, it cannot solve problems automatically) and at some point it changes recent cancellations (complete the recovery I think). I tried the different boot options, but nothing seems to work.

    Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? It doesn't seem to be any corruption in the filesystem (chkdsk), ntoskrnl.exe is not missing...

    Thanks for your help! Greaty I appreciate it! Tips are welcome!

    Hi Blueelvis,

    No, unfortunately I don't have a spare HARD drive. But... I sent it back to the shop where I bought it. Should still be under warranty. I have included all our correspondence to give them an overview of what has been tried. Thanks for your help! I hope that I get a replacement or they're going to fix it. I also ran memtest86 + using The Ultimate Boot Disk and he found loads of errors--not sure whether memory is as bad or if it has something to do with the 8 GB with 64-bit processor.

    Best,

  • Are windows puts an administrator account during the installation?

    Are windows puts an administrator account during the installation?  I'm the only admin user on windows, but I can't do much like I said I need admin which remove, access or open the files.

    I use windows 7

    Original title: Admin account

    You must be an administrator, because the first account you create during Setup must be an administrator-level account.  There is also a built-in account (with a current name 'administrator'), but it is disabled, unless you are in Safe Mode (restart hold F8 for safe mode).  As soon as the integrated, you can sign in and upgrade your real account on a daily basis at the level of administrator control panel.

    Note: even if you are an administrator, some processes will ask confirmation continue.  This is recommended because it prevents the virus of piracy of your profile and using your account.

  • Root Windsows > \system32\ntoskrnl.exe

    a missing file... Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe. NetBook Acer doesn't have a CD player and I don't have XP disc... cam loaded on netbook.  How can I fix it?

    You probably are able to restore the factory settings, but it is important to keep in mind that this removes all the data files and installed programs that you will return to what it was when the computer was purchased. You must recover all data files before you try to restore. To recover files, you remove the hard drive and put in an external 2.5 USB enclosure and connect to a USB port on a different computer. You can then access and copy of the reader because it becomes an external drive of the computer.

  • Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

    Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

    Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

    Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

    Here's the resolution...

    I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

    My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

    Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!

  • Windows 8 stuck at 82% during the installation of the store.

    Okay, so I have a HP Touchsmart 300. Initially, it came with Windows 7 but was "upgraded" to Windows 8 through this class who gave it to me for $15 as.

    That being said, the system was on the first installation of the factory, updated with the software factory still in tact. When I tried initially upgrade to Windows 8.1 on the Microsoft Store, the update failed and crashed my PC to an unrecoverable state. I couldn't use the disc of Windows 8 (I bought it) or the system restore to get it back. The system disk however allowed me to "refresh Windows.
    A copy that is properly refreshed Windows, I tried to upgrade again through the store. This time, he got 82% on 'install' and more never moved (was on 82% for about 6 hours). There is no USB device attached besides the keyboard wireless receiver and none of the options mentioned in the bios occurs.
    As it is even Windows 8 without upgrading to 8.1 has become unstable since the last attempt. Constantly, it crashes and tells me it stop unexpectedly and must recover.
    I don't know if this thing of 82% is a time important, although I was very surprised to discover others seem to freeze at the same exact part.
    Not sure if this can help, I'm a computer technician (over 18 years) and I ran diagnostics on the hard drive, ram, etc. This machine has been fully functional for the last almost 2 years before attempting to install 8.1. 7 to 8 upgrade went smooth with only a few pieces of software that needed to be reinstalled or removed. This system is not broke down never before attempting installation 8.1.
    I'm a computer technician experienced 18 years, I have diagnosed about every piece of hardware and the system apart from this question is perfectly healthy. Even the current copy of Windows 8 has no problem.

    I had a similar problem on a laptop asus, I solved this problem by going to DeviceManager and uninstall my bluetooth device then try once again and once that he had instructed to reinstall my bluetooth device

  • Windows XP does not start after the installation of an SSD.

    Windows XP SP3 and Intel Smart Response Technology

    Recently, I built a new computer and installed Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro in a dual-boot arrangement.  Everything worked very well.  I then installed an SSD in the hopes of using the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to speed things up.

    I shut down the computer, installed the SSD, brought up in Win7 and follow the easy guests in SRT to activate the player.  Restarted several times and things SSD speed up significantly.  Wonderful.
    I so restart and select Windows XP so I can SRT it.  After you select Windows XP in the boot menu, a few seconds and I get a quick flash of a BSOD and the computer restarts spontaneously.  I can't enter in WinXP, not even without failure or last known good config Mode.
    I again in Win7 and disable the SRT, reboot and I can enter Windows XP very well.  So obviously WinXP has a problem with the SRT is activated outside the XP.  That being said, I can't activate SRT in WinXP first either.  "Accelerate" option does not appear in the menu.
    Any ideas on that?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    In these cases, we always recommend to update the system BIOS of motherboard, update the firmware of the controller RAID and disks installed. If the problem persists, you will need to fix the compatibility problem directly with the manufacturer of the motherboard and add it to the RAID controller itself.

    I suggest you to contact Intel support site to improve assistance on the issue.

    http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support?IID=HDR+support

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Windows XP does not start after the installation of 3 GB of RAM. Will start with only 2 GB or less.

    I installed the new RAM on my desktop Compaq EVO D500.  Everything was working fine until 2 GB.  When I tried to install no matter what the computer does not start.  Specifications of the computer say maximum RAM is 3 GB.  All the memory and are good because I swapped taken in all the combinations possible and memory.  Any ideas. gknapp_ny

    If their were any memory related settings that had to be changed I would have no idea how do.  I had initially 512 MB of RAM (256-2 sticks).  I added a stick of 1 GB aditional third availabel taking and all went well.  Then I had two more identical 1 GB sticks and added them one at a time.  With 2 GB without problem.  But with the third stick of 1 GB that I couldn't start - I just beeps. I swapped one of the sticks of 1 GB for an old 256 MB and still no start just beeps.  When I run 2 GB everything is fine.  The BIOS recognizes the 2 GB of RAM. gknapp_ny

    Sounds as if your BIOS will not identify no matter what says the spec, 3 GB.

    It seems as if you may need a BIOS update in order to recognize the 3 GB of RAM - especially if it is a very old Compaq Evo D500.  See the "Improvements" tab to the page linked below.

    See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96295&swItem=PSG_I15378-37635&prodNameId=97121&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3

    Note that the patch on the link above is for models Evo D500 "with a ROM family 686Y2."  Read the "Release Notes" on this page to determine if your machine is one of those and if so, see "Instructions of Installation" to install the upgrade.  If your D500 is a laptop, you should Flash the ROM ONLY (i.e., update the BIOS level) when the computer is plugged - loss of power during this process can potentially cause irreparable harm to the computer.
