slave master safe mode screen cannot circumvent

My friend's computer shows the black screen with information master and slave and says press F1 to work around, but it doesn't. She had this once before, and it finally stopped. What can do to override this in its Windows program.

Thank you

Hi LovedbyAbba,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 when was the last time it was working fine?

3. What is the full error message that you receive?

Usually, you would receive this error message ifBasic of input/output (BIOS) system detects a hardware problem on the computer or basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.

I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the computer or that you wake the computer to store local tech to reset the system input/output (BIOS) default base.

  • Windows initializes to the Safe Mode screen. Unusable keyboard

    Dell Inspiron E1505, Windows XP Home SP3 Ed.    Computer seemed to have some symptoms that I had not fully diagnosed a blocked key "t".  Trying to diagnose the problem, I wanted to start the computer in "safe" mode  When this screen came, my keyboard was unusable, so I couldn't choose how to start Windows (Safe Mode, Mode safe mode with networking, etc.).  The only thing I can't do is hard power the computer down and start again.  But now it always comes with the selection of Safe Mode screen.  The real problem is that the second 30 countdown clock never starts if Windows never starts.  The ability only I seem to have with the computer now is to push the power button to start and press the button to turn off it, but I get them all in the process is the selection of the Saft Mode screen and nothing else.  Please notify.  Thank you.

    You cannot run windows without keyboard operation. If you think it works, (you can check if see the Num, scroll lock or caps lock lights) you can try to access your BIOS with it. If it works from there, (not too sure what to try out unless you have another keyboard, you can use to install the appropriate drivers for this) you could try to put in your windows CD and try installing 3rd party drivers. There was also an option in the recovery console to select a default keyboard layout. And if you can acess recovery console, you can then change the boot options to make normal startup or the clock is displayed.

    (In the recovery console, first select your windows installation (default is 1) then it prompts for administrator password, if you have not just press on enter, then type help to see the commands and for more information on order type in the command and /?) Ex: boocfg /? and press ENTER. The main controls, you would need is fixboot and bootcfg.

    I hope this helps a little,

    Are you sure? Viruses are rare under Linux... It is even more unlikely that the same virus that has been written for Win XP to run in a Linux environment. I'm starting to think that you have some sort of hardware problem.

    !!! WARNING! Be careful here!
    Have you tried to Disconnect completely all your hard disks via anti-static bracelet and boot from your CD Win XP Pro (do not REFORMAT). I think that you should be able to boot from your CD of Win XP to the point just before you have to select the media target. If booting from your CD of Win XP still causes your screen cursor keys act weird, you probably have a hardware problem.

    !!! WARNING!
    When you disconnect a hard drive with an anti static band, you have TO put it and antistatic location on an antistatic surface.

    I think the only option is to go to a technician to remove the HARD drive and sorting. Coz' with this kind of problem, I can not select anything on the screen.

    Remove the hard drive and scanning with another computer are the best way to kill the virus, but you will need to get a proper equipment (band of anitstatic and bags) and find a friend or technician who is willing to risk infection.

    Hello

    I suggest make a SFC (System File Checker) scan on the system and check if the problem is resolved. Follow the steps mentioned in the article below.

    Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

    Once you did check SFC scan, you are able to download Internet explorer on the system and the installation and check. Download internet explorer 8 on the system from the link below.

  • Does not start after the welcome except in safe mode screen

    The only way I can get into my hard drive is to start in safe mode.  I have run the disk permissions, repairing the disk booted recovery and reisntalled Mavericks, but nothing that it seems to do, will fix the problem.  I use an iMac mid-2010, Mavericks - 10.9.5 processor is 302 GHz intel core I3 and 4 GB of memory, 1333 MHz DDR3.  I have a return of my machine of time from 2013, should I try that or eliminating what I have now?  Can I backup my data to Time Machine now, while in safe mode?  Please advise, I am suffering from withdrawel =)

    Chances are you have 3rd party software installed that will not be booted without failure.

    Use EtreCheck to get a list of all the 3rd party software.  If you like you can post the result here and someone will probably see what could be causing your problems.

  • After from the screen doesn't say safe mode not optimum mode recommended 1280 104 60 h

    After said that from the safe mode screen (not optimum mode recommended 1280 104 60 h)

    Help me solve this problem.

    Thank you

    It is not a Windows problem.  It is a problem with your monitor.

    Your screen has a maximum resolution... maybe note 1280 x 960 with a 60 Hz refresh.  When you start mode without fail, the resolution of the video card is forced into a mode that will support virtually any monitor (640 x 480)?.  This is done to allow recovery in case you accidentally set your screen resolution to something that is not supported and you end up with a white screen.  When your monitor detects this less-than-optimal resolution from your computer, he takes it upon himself to post a notice on the screen informing you that you will get a better screen if you adjust the display resolution on your computer to match your monitor.  Maybe it's not possible in Mode without failure, then look at your manual of the monitor and the settings to see if there is a way to disable the warning message.

    HTH,

  • Can not leave completely insensitive - Firefox, use Safe Mode, reinstall or uninstall

    I installed Firefox less than a month ago. Two days ago, that he left suddenly during the navigation. This does seem like a problem, really - I thought I would just restart - but it REMAINS open. Shows the icon in my dock (on Mac), and the menu bar appears when I click on the icon. I can browse the menu selections but can not choose one.

    I can't:
    -Leave Firefox - from the menu or with Ctrl + Q
    -Open a new fenΩtre
    -Open help
    -Access to "troubleshooting information.
    -Select "restart with modules disabled...". »
    -Use the Safe Mode

    Because I can not use Safe Mode and cannot leave the program, I have IMPOSSIBLE:
    -Uninstall (it refuses to remove, because the program is 'open', as it won't leave)
    -Reinstall (I can't substitute the existing because the program is 'open')
    -Remove my dock
    -.. pretty much anything else.

    I've read many articles dealing with troubleshooting, Safe Mode, reinstall clean, etc, but unfortunately I can't make one of these because Firefox is open but completely insensitive.

    (PS - I tried to install the below troubleshooting information, but, even once, because Firefox is not responding, I couldn't open it lol - there was "no application available" to read it.) I can't go through the manual steps because I cannot access the troubleshooting information in the Help menu and so cannot even begin step 1.)

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would be VERY happy! I thank very you much for your time and help!

    If qutting, it's because of the questions are now trying down option as you click the icon in the dock and choose force quit from the list!

    Also you have tired Fox fire rest functionality (otherwise said if your power to access)
    To do:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
