• Helps the Vista system recovery

  Hello.
  I have Vista on my desktop. Recently, a friend told me that I was able to connect my Xbox 360 to my pc via ethernet. I did, and of course, it did not work. I've disconnected and ended up with something like "the file calculated checksum does not match" or something like that. I havnt been able to access the windows since.

  I followed the instructions for the Vista system recovery. Downloaded 64-bit using the binding and the ISO burner. Basically, when it says "Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD drive" I do, but instead to load the screen of Windows recovery process, I usually get an error with this screen below "Windows cannot recognize the digital signature for this driver" once or twice he managed to get that load the files on the disc but then goes back to "press any key...". "and when I do I get 'checksum of the file...". "or whatever. I keep going in circles!

  So, that being said... I don't know what to do. Help, please! Thank you!!!

  If I understand you correctly, you have downloaded a startup repair disc, NOT a Systrem recovery disk to put it back to factory settings.

  Here's how to do a startup repair disk:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Vista Media recovery obtaining and/or using the Vista recovery on your computer Partition to perform a recovery to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  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.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  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.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• * PLEASE HELP! How to reinstall Win7 on s205 w/o Recovery Disk?

  After installing Ubuntu 10.04 as a dual-boot on the Live CD OS, whenever I turn on the netbook I get the start page of Lenovo, and then a white screen and then the start page, then white screen... loop infinite!

  I tell myself that if I reinstalled Ubuntu as the OS boot simple deletion of all the rest on the HARD drive, it will work very well, but I really need to keep Win7 for professional reasons.  I don't mind losing my docs in Windows, I just want to keep the operating system.

  What are my options, if any?  Is there a way I could use the product key of MS Win7 on the bottom of the machine to get a direct download of the operating system?

  Thanks for your help!

  There is the button (arrow sign) that you can use for okr but if you make changes on the volumes, it will stop working.

• hpc309a will not print in color. black printing after upgrading the operating system

  Issue began immediately after the upgrade to mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Yes, the cartridges are fine. I downloaded the latest drivers and firmware. I chose the best and high quality paper during printing. Still nothing.

  OK, so the printer is at fault.  First of all, try to clean the holes in the cartridge by following the instructions on this page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02253171

  If this doesn't work, remove all the cartridges, and then lift the latch on the right side of the cart and remove the print head Assembly.  Clean the electric contacts with a damp cloth not fluffy (the fabric will be ruined with ink), then rub the surface of contact on the cart.

  Reinstall and start over.

• I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)

  To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.

  What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.

  Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.

  Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.

  Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please

  Important additional information

  I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive

  Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.

  The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options

  • Auto repair
  • Score editor
  • Browse/Backup of files
  • Internet browser
  • Launch the command line

  Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).

  Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.

• Could use a little help from the system recovery

  My son has a HP DV something 21XX Entertainment laptop computer running XP. He had some serious spyware that I couldn't get cleaned up and I "discovered" restoration of the system using the F10 key. I did it. He acted as a whole new computer I have registry and all. I had assumed that he had whipped the own HD. However when I tried to update XP it said I didn't have the room. And of course a 'C' drive it's full of things. So now I'm a bit lost and I was wondering if there is a guide step by step somewhere (yes I should have asked prior to taking title).

  1. I see as well a C drive and a system recovery disk. Who now works or how can I say.

  2. I'd like to if I don't lose any of his stuff. Actually I'm passing some of them to my external drive for 'safe keeping' if all goes well

  3. I have not been able to get on the net wireless, but have been wired. That is probably an update is necessary? It shows my network and that I am connected, but it won't actually show anything "page not found".

  4. I download some spyware now so I can check my system restore it cleared out.

  For any help or suggestion or pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  BTW, my son computer is a few years old and was one of the models who had the bad mother and HP the extended warranty on. They did replace the MB warranty (about 16 months after purchase). It's quality service and I have so I have several brands of laptops, I'm not yet ready to upgrade sound, if I do not.

  Thanks again!

  Hello

  Here is a link to the system recovery with much information.

  Your operating system runs from your C: partition. D: is the recovery partition.

  As far your Wi - Fi connection... going to try Google chrome or another browser to see if you can connect. There is a little bug in IE (I guess that's what you use) which may prevent it from connect to web pages.

  You have probably a Trojan or malware on the system. Try to go to www.ESET.com . Look on the right side under quick links and use their scanner online. It will find all things 'wrong' that is on your system and delete, if you may of course. As far as I know, they are the best in the business. Everyone has a favorite and this one is mine. I have install on the PC of the client frequently and for three years have never had a client complain about viruses, Trojans, adware or malware.

  Do not update your pc had SP2 before having to operate satisfactorily and have done a Windows system restore point.

  post your results (positive or negative) here in your thread so we know how it works for you.

  Kind regards

• want to do a restore system with disks, but does not I need HELP!

  I am eager to the system recovery on my HP computer I have discs of recovery system 1 and 2 and the extra recovery disk. but when I put in the drive of the installation wizard is not coming and I don't know how to run, I made the recovery for anw had the windows installed so my computer was as good as new once again, but this time it does not work I need help please! Thanks in advance

  Looks like you are trying to run the Windows recovery. You don't want to do. BTW, please make sure that you have backed up your data on external media because after a destructive restore full factory all of your own files will be gone.

  So let's try and start the computer from the recovery discs, you did. Place 1 disc in your drive and restart the computer. When you start your computer, you will see a message that says something like "Press Esc for Boot Menu". Press this function key. Then use your key to select your CD/DVD drive, press ENTER, and the HP system recovery process will begin. Use the advanced option to make the complete factory restore.

• Help! -New Dell i3847 - Windows 7 Pro - Dell Recovery Disk Win 8.1 & DBaR don't make a backup of the system

  I bought a new Dell i3847 and it has Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed at the factory on it.

  I wanted to make a complete backup of the system, but the Dell Backup and Recovery software does not allow me to make a backup of the system.  In addition, I was unable to create a system recovery disk using Dell backup and restore.

  I can't use the drive system recovery expected Dell because it clearly states Windows 8.1

  (1) why is a Win 8.1 drive included with a Win 7 Pro 64 bit system?

  (2) what is the problem with Dell backup and recovery that she:

  (a) cannot create a recovery disc factory

  (b) allow me to create a backup system so I can go back to the factory State

  Help!

  It has been 2.5 hours and it is still "initialize disk" to create a recovery of the plant.  It usually somewhere fails during initialization or in writing.    Spend hours for each failed attempt to create a factory recovery disc is NOT GOOD!

  The factory restore disk was finally created.

  Dell is now a person pays create a backup system and the user must download a update to do so.

  Microsoft has a tool to create a system image and make a recovery / restore disc which is free.

  So, I used DBaR do restore disk by the factory.

  However, to make a system image and a recovery / restore for that, I used windows 7 built in software.

• HP EliteBook 8730w: replacement of SSD for the boot drive not recognized

  I'm trying to install a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB instead of the original 500 GB HDD in my Elitebook 8730w (product no. VF889PA #ABG). The 8730w has the latest BIOS (F.20) installed and that is running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (fully patched).

  When it is connected to the laptop through a USB adapter, to clone the HARD disk image. the SSDS works correctly. Cloning through data Migration Samsung is reported as a success, and the image of the C:\ drive occupies approximately 153 GB. The image of the disc does not include the partition of 1 GB dedicated to HP_TOOLS, due to a known limit of the Samsung software supplied.

  When it is installed in the HARD drive Bay. the SSD is not recognized as a drive and does not appear in the list of startup options. The available boot options only shown are the DVD or a network boot.

  would be very grateful for any advice on the steps required to successfully install the Samsung SSD as boot drive.

  Hmmm.
  Honestly no, I'm not happy with this one. If it was my machine, I'd be a little concerned about whats the corner of the street. In view of the age, is not surprising really, things wear out over time, the mere fact of electronics.
  
  Search through everything you have posted, all photos, pdf, all the text double checking. I am absolutely puzzled as to what happened. If you 100% does not reinstall the hard disk between the posts above where no HARD drive is detected in the menu boot options for the post below that where the HARD drive is detected in the same menu. I would say that you have a problem with either, the ssd, the computer motherboard laptop or the small connector on the sata port, I think on these is integrated on the motherboard, so it seems that your advice is doubtful.
  If his works now, great... but be aware that your machine can fail at some point in the near future. And it looks like a defect of the motherboard, other things are probably waiting to fail.
  
  There is no reason whatsoever your laptop must not have seen this ssd at first startup. A HARD drive is a HARD disk, if its compatible sata, then it will work, no doubt. When he is not on an older machine, its probably a sign of a faulty component.
  
  Looking through your bios options, I recommend the following.
  
  On startup options, get rid of internal nic pxe boot, that will only slow your machine at startup as it will seek for a network bootable device. This is the message that you get at startup saying Media Test Failure, this page is preventable with this option disabled.
  Less built lan/wlan switching on enabled in the options of the terminal, also change. This means that if you use wifi at home for example and you decide to plug in a cable network directly to the router to speed up the connection, it will not pass if it is not defined, you will have to do it manually. I work in a large company and the number of people who have this option is unreal. They all assume when they are docked they will on the wired connection.
  
  Because we are here too, if you ever have problems with a flickering screen, first thing to try, is disable the ambient light sensor which is just below this option of switching. Its fine on normally, but its quite common on 8560p for this causes a flickering screen.
  
  Hope that helped. Good luck in what you decide to do with the machine

  Hi all

  I need to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro 64 bit on my trusty 8730w.  Try some Thinkpads I used make is easy in the face of this problem by allowing you to download the wifi driver, and a tool to update the system that makes most of the rest of the driver install for you.  I guess they aren't counting on old IBm'ers be smart enough to figure it out for themselves.
