Start of diagnosis while in safe mode

I checked before diagnosis start unchecking to boot into safe mode and now my system won't boot.  I am running XP Pro on a Dell GX620. Any advice?

I see...  See how he wants to cheat you?   Maybe you can outsmart it...

Here's what I'd do:

Create a bootable CD of XP Recovery Console and start on this (instructions below).

Enter these commands:

CD-(back up/back to the root directory of drive C)
attrib - shr boot.ini (remove the system, hidden, and only the read attributes)
Boot.ini.bak ren boot.ini (rename the boot.ini afflicted)

Remove the CD and restart your drive HARD and XP will complain about the missing boot.ini, but have yet to start.

In Explorer, navigate to your C:\ folder and rename the file boot.ini.bak boot.ini (this is so msconfig will be able to find it).

Run the msconfig and remove the afflictions like / SafeBoot and save changes, etc.  (you don't have to restart if you do not want).

If you wish, you can change the boot.ini to hand, but not everyone is comfortable to do this.

I don't know if you're free of virus/malware or not but who has bet that you started at least once.

If your EXE files will not start, see if it will help:

Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP is not
know what to do with the files by looking at the file extension (for example, .exe for executables,
.doc for MS documents, etc.).

If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

http://www.dougknox.com/

On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

How to create a bootable CD from the Console of the Recovery XP (no XP media required):

If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

xp_rec_con. ISO

Download the ISO from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD (do not install UniBlue or the Ask Toolbar - never!):

http://www.ImgBurn.com/

Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

Press any key to boot from CD...

Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    You can use Windows Defender in offline mode, use a PC secure and download and use:

    And then use removable media or a CD/DVD and create the startup and startup disk in your infected PC and then run a full system scan. You have no need to start your system in this way.

  • I've updated to Firefox 36 automatically, however, it does not start. I tried firefox safe mode, reinstall, uninstall avg antivirus, eks.

    The computer restarts during the night to install updates. Everything was fine, but now Firefox, which has been updated to version 36, will not launch. Basically, I double click on it, I get a little access to the disk and nothing. I tried to start firefox safe mode. Same thing is happening. I uninstalled by deleting any Mozilla Firefox files, programs and relocation. Still will not start. I uninstalled the old version of AVG. Still will not start. I have Microsoft Security Essentials running and have updated. Still will not start. I need new ideas.

    I just want to confirm a step that you took. When you say you deleted the program files Firefox content, this may have taken all the Firefox of the components off of your computer.

    The steps that you must follow to remove a potentially corrupted installation of firefox are:

    Open your Start menu, select "program files." In program files, select "Programs and features", this should open your window "uninstall or change a program". In this window, locate your program "Mozilla Firefox". Select the program with a left click then "Uninstall", which will appear once the program is highlighted.

    This process will remove the registry changes that can ask questions. After you completely uninstall firefox from your programs, perform a new installation of the latest version of the browser.

    If you have already completed this process without success, so there may be other problems with your windows updates, it's not uncommon. If you have problems after a new installation of Firefox, after following the instructions above, please check if your browser "Internet Explorer" is to have the same questions, if yes, then you may have problems more serious that will require new measures.

    Its still very well, but when I disable it, it does not start again until I have run in safe mode so I can save some files and rerun recovery.

    This time on 64-bit. With its completion of its process, this works well for a few hours.
    He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    Now when I turn it off it never early return time windows say... Startup Repair. ..
    I have let it run from this morning till now they can't always find what's the problem (I'm refernce the loptop).

    So no idea about whats goin?

    > He fell faster now, maybe because its on 64-bit? (any recommendation if its 32 or 64 bit) specifications: i5, 4ram, 1 g ddcatd graphics, family win7 premium,...

    64-bit operating system is better if your computer supports 4 GB or more of RAM.
    Why? Because 32-bit Win recognizes max 3.2 GB, even if more RAM is available.
    It's limitation of 32-bit; regardless of what OS it is; Linux, Win XP, Vista, Win7, etc.
    This is the reason why the 64 bit OS are so popular in the last time

    With regard to the issue of the BONE;
    I recommend that you run a disk recovery again... This means that you need to reinstall the OS usign the option recovery Toshiba;
    During the turning on the laptop press F8, choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

    Hi guys, I just want to ask this question. I'm just curious about it. Thank you!

    Safe mode with network does not mean that it is a way to protect yourself against hackers...

    Safe mode with networking is mainly used for Troubleshooting of end and most of your application will not run in this mode...
    Networking in safe mode starts Windows with a minimum of drivers and services together as well as it includes the network drivers and services needed to access the Internet or other computers on your network.
    Even the recommended security antivirus/internet itself cannot defend yourself, if you're not aware of best practices
  • My Acer Aspire 4736ZG stop each time I start and will work in safe mode

    This problem has been some time now. Whenever I turn on my computer notebook (Acer Aspire 4736zg) close at boot (windows loading screen) and it really means not freeze SHUT DOWN or restarts... He likes to lose power. It only works in safe mode. Installation of Windows 7, 8 CD cannot start (stop as above).
    I did everything: fixing driver, scan virus, chkdsk, update BIOS even install new windows... The problem still there. I tried install Joli OS (Linux) to have a chance but does not work (always closed).

    All ideal for my problem?

    P/S: sorry for my English

    At this point no matter what the problem he is going to need repair. If it happens with more of an OS which pretty much eliminates the possibility of a software problem. I would still say that it is probably overheating, or there is a problem with your graphics card. However, you will need to speak with Acer on this one.

  • Cannot start Windows 'Normally' or in 'Safe Mode '.

    A lot of problems with USB drivers, I found an answer in the forums here, who directed me to the site to download the appropriate drivers for my chipset from Intel.  Download seemed to go OK; When asked "reboot now?" I selected Yes.  In about 30 seconds, I had a window (similar to the command prompt) asking if I wanted to start the computer in the last good known?  He also had options to start in Safe Mode, Safe Mode with networking, and Safe Mode with command prompt.  I first tried to start normally, but without success.  I then tried the other option (several times), none were successful.  I turned off the computer using the power button and then it starts again, but nothing helped.  The four options have failed once again.  The main thing is I'm unable to get the computer started in any Mode, so that I might be able to fix the problem.  I'm afraid I might have to reinstall Windows, once again.  The computer is running Windows XP Home Edition, SP 3.  I use my wife's cell phone to access the forums.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Well, if you some drivers day and now have a problem in your Startup Options menu, you must first choose the option best suited for these kinds of my system does not start after an update types of problems:

    Last good known Configuration

    Last good known Configuration is the configuration XP saved the last time that Windows starts successfully and choosing that option can allow you to start long enough to undo (roll back) what that either got your first distressed system.

    If the system starts with the last known good Configuration, uninstall (restore) the update of the afflicted driver and get the right drivers for your system.

    If you still can't boot from your Startup Options menu, choose the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then you can see a Blue Screen of Death with information that will help solve your problem.

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  • Start PC laptop Toshiba in safe mode, only displays black screen, will not respond to any commands.

    Hello, I recently tried to do an advanced start safemode, because when I tried to do safe mode by pressing F8 it would have not responded to the command. Then I did a MSconfig, lit manually in safe mode, so I can then restart and do a scan to search for viruses or hackers of air because he had a reason to suspect. Now, after the manual switch, when I rebooted all I get is a black screen. No logo, nothing. When I press the buttons for the controls at first upward, it beeps at me and that's it.

    Done, I have XP, not Vista, don't know if it makes much difference or not, but that's exactly what I did.

    Is went to start, click Run, type msconfig, went to the utility system configuration, general tab selected, then the system of services. Then selected drivers devices of loading at startup Safemode-minimal database, and then click OK. Then, the computer said I had to be logged as administrator for these changes to take place and to connect and make changes. I was already logged as admin. so I advanced and restarted the computer and that's when I got black screen, no splash screen, no logo, no cursor.

    I just read that I could have possibly messed up by not checking the VGA mode in order to be able to communicate in this mode, I don't know if it is correct or not.

    I have my recovery discs, I've tried this morning, following their directions and it will not respond to one of these orders either.

    I don't understand, why... it was working fine before I did it, but like I said I suspected a virus or a hijacker, but my Norton 360 and SuperSpyware nothing not detected in normal mode. That's why I tried to safe mode.

  • Why my computer won't start, and where to go safe mode?

    I had nothing but problems since then tried to switch to Windows7.  Several attempts over the past two weeks, none worked. Then started getting the blue screen of death at random times. Today they came more often until it got the point where computer should restart and go straight to the blue screen of death.
    Tried to reinstall Vista, I have had to do in safe mode, because I couldn't have what. Did not exist then. Now, I can't find it. Don't ask me why. If I knew, I wouldn't be here.
    Vista has been subject to half way through installation when SURPRISE! Blue screen of death. After that, he says that there is no disc in the drive, then no player, then not whatever. I remember even now, I'm so frustrated. Changed the CMOS to boot from the CD Rom settings, did not a thing. Can't find safe mode more. Never heard of that one before.
    What he does now is during startup, it happens at "Verifying DMI Pool Data data... ", and then says"disc error occurred, press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart. " So now, it's in this endless loop.
    So, is he dead? I'm afraid to change other parameters, because it's a white box. He got 2 readers of DVD, which now seem unnecessary. It is also a RAID configuration, and I never dealt with more than 1 hard drive before. At one point, I got to a screen (no idea how) that allow me to achieve a memory check. If I remember correctly, he said that memory was fine, but there was a hardware problem?
    Any ideas?... Anyone?... Beuller? ... Beuller?

    Thanks for the reply. I finally get it working again. Find an old email of the person who built it, and fixed it without delay. There is nothing wrong with the hard drive, it was fine. In fact, 'they' were very good. The problem is in the bios settings. After I changed it to boot from the CD drive and it did not work, I put in some way something to the default settings. Big mistake with a raid system. He apparently wanted to a single hard drive, and this computer has four. Or is it 5? How long I forgot. The user then, stupid mistake.
    I will, however, never try to reinstall Windows 7 on this computer. If someone wants to give me an old, used computer, I'll try, but I got to risk it.

  • laptop stops shortly after the start, but works well in safe mode / command after chkdk or ckdsk/r

    Problem 1: There are months, my two year old Toshiba Satellite L655 s5096 started losing charge the battery even when it is plugged.
    Sometimes, the problem was solved by using a different wall outlet. I replaced the battery, but eventually the problem comes back.

    Problem 2: at the same time that the problems loading starts, Windows has stopped booting normally. Sometimes repair or restoration leads to a normal start, but sometimes I run Chkdsk/r (Chkdsk sometimes the only works [!]) Mode through safe mode w/Command Prompt.

    Problem 3: There are two days of problems 1 and 2 reappeared, but a few minutes after that Windows starts, my machine stops, even if I am able to run Wndows in Mode safe mode w/network.

    I am correct in surmising that this isn't a motherboard (hardware) problem? I don't really want to have to replace this machine if I don't have to. Is this a Windows problem? Upgrade to Windows 8 would solve the problem? Or is it the result of the virus that escaped my Avast scans?

    I'll install Windows 8 when I checked my automatic online data storage works.

    Hi Denise,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forum.

    I understand that the computer shuts down shortly after starting. I'll help you with this problem.

    1. what security software is installed?

    2. are you sure the workload problem is not limited to a faulty wall unit?

    3. have you checked with the manufacturer of the computer if it is not a battery problem?

    To resolve this issue, let us try these methods:

    Method 1.

    You can create a new power plan and check if that helps.

    Power plans: frequently asked questions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/power-plans-frequently-asked-questions

    Method 2.

    Keep the battery power: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows7/conserving-battery-power

    Method 3.

    You can remove the battery and connect the power cable from the wall cabinet and check. If the computer does not stop after the restart, then it might be a problem with the battery.
