• Hard drive boot record is missing

  I recently had a virus and my antivirus told me to start in SafeMode to complete uninstallation.  It took several reboots and I've made a few changes in administrative tools to have Windows restart every time in safe mode by pressing F10 succeeded perhaps 1 out of 3 attempts.  I also checked for each startup 'connect' and changed 'small dump' to 'image of the nucleus' without realizing that it was not supported.  I don't know if this or the virus caused the result but on the next boot hung my computer and I got the error "Bank interleave requested but disabled: press F2 to continue. In the bios, I could find nothing bank interleave. After evolving around a while 'disk i/o error primary drive 4' was added to the Bank a stripe error.  A couple of people in a forum told me that my hard drive died, so I purchased a new one and it installed without any problems.

  I have been researching if indeed the other drive died. It runs without noise or hesitation, but when it is installed in a SATA port inside the computer. Windows does not recognize it. I bought an external enclosure usb and windows will recognize it again but disk management says that it is not initialized and that it cannot mount the drive.  Its a WD5000aaks Digital Western and I am running Vista x 64. Device Manager acknowledges, but he says it is a DVD/CD.  When you try to scan the disc with recovery software more fail however today I used PC Inspector File Recovery and he was able to scan the drive and the number of folders/files. I'm afraid to try to recover with this program because it warns if the volume on the disk is miscalculated that the data may be severely damaged.  It's just a 500 GB drive, but the program says it's a 2 TB drive!

  The Windows disc that came with my computer is a single installation without service unfortunately options disc.  Does anyone know how I can restore the boot record of the disk.  I don't know, but I may have to restore the partitions as well.  The local data recovery seller wants more than $1,000 to recover the data and I'm not spending a lot of money. It seems that the data is intact, but windows can not access.

  Hi useless,

  You can try to rebuild the master boot record and check if it helps. But we cannot guarantee the data on the disk.

• MacBook pro stops during boot, same drive boots imac

  My 2009 MB Pro has a 2 TB with (MacOS 10.11) inside drive. It suddenly started to stop a few seconds in the boot process. When I walk in target disk mode I can still boot my iMac using this same internal drive via firewire. I used it like that for a few weeks with zero problems.

  I ran each diagnostic that I can think on the drive, including the latest version of Techtool Pro, and the player with the flying colors each time.

  I suspect the problem was the MacBook Pro hardware, but it starts on another internal drive (with 10.6 on it) very well.

  Any idea what I can do here to get this drive of my MacBook Pro starting again?

• (Redirected) USB Flash Drive Boot (BiOS) - black screen/freeze/without end of loading - need help!

  Hello community Dell:

  I have been using your Inspiron desktop for work. Work requires me to a startup USB flash drive every morning to access work files and programs. I just press F12 and select the USB flash drive that brings me then in a workplace Ubuntu after entering my credentials - very easy.

  I recently bought the X 51 office because I wanted the game after work and it was intended to replace the Inspiron.

  X 51 issues (boot BiOS - secure boot off as with the Inspiron):

  UEFI = I get a black screen after the "loading...". ', it freezes the whole system

  Legacy = told me to restart the system and drive and the message repeats little matter what you press

  I tried USB different slots, ending different to access USB - nothing works!

  I tested another theory that would disable the GPU of the X 51, but this proved futile because the problems themselves was replicated. The GPU is the only unique component between two desktop computers. CPU is i3, i5 vs, vs 4g 8g, 1 TB vs. 2 TB, so I do not see these improvements of specification being the culprit. The X 51 has a different unique Alienware BiOS interface.

  The X 51 will be returned to Dell unless someone can some up with a solution - I would be eternally grateful, thank you.

• iMac G5 won't internal hard drive boot

  Hello

  I am a student at a vocational school student IST. The faculty member sent us old iMac G5 17 inch to set ourselves. After the repair of the motherboard, we had to install OS X 10.5 installation DVD, because the customer had erased his record for security purposes. However, the internal disk drive would not work, so we had to set the Open Firmware mode and start from a normal PC hard drive connected via a SATA-USB adapter cable. We got the OS installed and restart clicked on Setup, but the splash screen always appears as a folder missing OS. We tried to go into Open Firmware and setting the device on the hard disk, but it wouldn't boot. Other things we tried:

  -Hold the "D" key on startup to force it to boot from the internal hard drive, but it could not start

  -Optionally now to go to the menu boot device menu boot device froze after a few seconds

  -Insert the 10.5 installation disc in our external DVD drive (as mentioned above) and launch the disk utility > startup disk to restart the iMac and the start of the internal player, but same result as previously (missing the OS icon)

  At this point, both students that the instructor are almost of ideas, and I thought that post on the forums to see if there is anything else we can try before you buy another drive and charge the customer.

  Thank you in advance!

  Disk utility to partition and format the drive.

  Boot from the installation disc:

  Booting from an OS X install disc

  1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

  2 restart the computer.

  3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

  4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

  logo appears.

  5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

  Once the installation program is loaded, select the country and click on the continue button. Wait for the menu bar of the screen to appear. Select utility drive in the Utilities menu. On the left should be a list of mounted drives. Select the entry of out-bumpy drive to the HARD disk (usually, watch mfgr. name and size or model number.) Click the Partition tab in the main window. Select 1 partition from the menu drop-down Partition scheme. Set the type of Format for Mac OS Extended journaled. Click on the apply button and wait for it to finish.

  At the end of player preparation, you can quit disk utility and return to the installer. Proceed with the installation of Mac OS X by following the instructions.

  If any of these categories can be completed due to HARD drive problems, then most likely the drive is dead. G5 models use standard 3.5 "SATA drives, I recall.

• Why my keyboard used let me scroll to safe mode or boot from cd? And how to fix this?

  I use windows xp home eddition and when I start my computer it wont let me press F8 to enter safe mode menu. When I reset my computer that I can get to the screen where it allows you to choose to start in safe mode... but for some reason I can't scroll to the top to choose these options and I would love someone to help me with this problem.

Any suggestions or answers to these Question are greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  1. did you connect the keyboard to a different USB port when you try to start in safe mode?

  There might be a possibility that there is not enough power generated in the USB port when you start your computer in safe mode. So, I suggest that you test the keyboard in another USB port.

  Boot Mode UEFI is where you were mistaken. You will need to attach it to Legacy to boot from USB drive and restore your backup, UEFI will happen to return to Windows (according to Acer).

  Your USB flash is bootable, however it does not contain your actual backup (disk image) files. If you did your USB bootable after backup, well, your backup went, as in the process of making a USB flash drive bootable, that the drive is wiped.

  I would suggest to update your Bios, the direct download of the here are more late (2.15).

• Activate the floppy drive boot from

  -How can I activate A floppy drive to boot from? Do I have to be an administrator?
  Thank you

  The boot order is set in the BIOS.  When first starting your machine, for a brief second or two, it should be a message on your screen requiring you to press a certain key for "BIOS" or "settings."  Quickly press this key when you see and look in the menus which are ensuits for a way to set the order of drives when starting.

• BIOS lack internal hard drive boot option

  I had problems with my computer gives me an error message 'Operating system not found' on initialize toward the top.  I knew that my hard drive was almost at full capacity, so I decided to install a new hard drive with more capacity, a Seagate Momentus 500 GB.  From what I read he appeared as my computer to recognize the new hard drive automatically, but it does not only and does not initialize.  When I go to boot options in the BIOS Phoenix, he mentions only: F10 and F12 Delay (s) [0], CD-ROM Boot [Enabled], boot floppies [Enabled] and starting adapter [Disabled] internal network.  However, the boot order lists: portable hard drive USB floppy, ATAPI CD/DVD ROM, USB disk on key, USB hard disk drive, and! Network adapter.  Would it be the BIOS Boot Option which is at the origin of the new hard drive is not being recognized?  I can't find where in the BIOS I can add this option in, or so that it can detect the new hard drive.

  When I put my Vista recovery disc in, it will load, but when I select Yes for "reset your system to factory settings" and it starts to reformat the hard drive Windows partition, it returns immediately with error '0x400110020000100A '.

  Anyone can shed some light on this problem?  Any help is appreciated!

• Windows 10 place 8 Pro (5830) Orientation, driver, Boot and camera problems

  I've had problems with camera for a while now. When I try to open the camera application, I get a message that the camera is not connected. I tried to solve this problem through different methods, none of which work, and all of a sudden, I start getting a problem of Orientation.

  A few days earlier, I tried to start, and the machine would only start in Portrait mode. Tilt, rotation, etc. would not alter orientation. I went into the settings and was able to make the meeting place in the landscape, and he should stay there until the next time I started. It always starts in a Portrait, a direction that I rarely use.

  I thought that my problem was perhaps a pilot and I checked the Device Manager. All seemed well. Then, I went to the Dell Support and ran the driver verifier. They told me that I needed to update the Chipset Intel Atom Z3000 Series driver, so I started the download. The download is finished and the machine began to install it. Almost immediately, I got the error that the "Installation failed." I tried again and again, failed.

  Then I looked in the Device Manager to see if I could find where this driver fits, thinking that I could remove the driver in the machine and it would be automatically installed. After carefully by the Device Manager, I found the driver.

  Either incidentally... at some point earlier today, I might not even the machine to start. It froze on the screen, you get before the login screen. About 15 restart attempts finally worked and the machine will start up again.

  I then tried to reset the Tablet and received an other error message that it could not be done.

  I'm in a world of pain, here. Any suggestions?

  OK, no responses, so here is my solution...

  I've broken down and decided to follow the hard way... to the format of the drive, then reinstall Windows 10 and all software. It's a great job. The first thing is to gather all the material needed to make this work.

  Necessary material:

  1. an adapter Dell to allow the power supply and USB connection full size at once. I have a Dell for $20.

  2. a USB Hub with a minimum of 4 entry slots.

  3. USB keyboard

  4. USB mouse

  5 USB Wireless Network adapt

  6 USB Windows 10 32-bit Installer

  7. a lot of Patience.

  Connect the USB Hub to the Dell adapter (1) and insert line electric adapter Dell, attach it to the tablet in the mini (or is this microphone?) USB port.

  Hold the switch and the Volume until you pass at the same time until the Tablet starts in the BIOS. Change the boot order using the Volume button upwards so that the tablet will boot from USB Windows 10 Setup and follow the instructions.

  Once win 10 installed, make sure that you have a wireless connection, and go to the Dell Support to download and install the Driver.Your Chipset coming 8 Pro should now allow touch screen and Orientation. Download and install no matter what other drivers you need and all your software. Set up and you're back in business.

  Wow, that took me 6 hours, but all works, now including my camera
