Start Windows 8.1

Just bought HP Laptop with 8.1. Everything is good, but after day, when I turn on the computer, it goes directly on the desktop instead of the menu start "tiled". I know it's minor, but I prefer the start menu tile.

Can someone tell me how to reset it. Thank you.

  • Equium L20 - cannot start Windows mode of

    Hello

    I was wondering if you can help me. I have an Equium L20 - 197, windows xp home edition. (Also technically challenged!  :)) When I booted my computer laptop first time today, I received this message-

    «We are sorry for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully upward...» »
    and he gave me a few methods of commissioning:
    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt
    Last good Configuration know (your most recent settings that worked)
    and
    Start Windows normally

    I was able to start press start windows normally and start the computer very well. I turned off the computer OK, then it was restarted later without any problems. I then restored in a frame earlier that the system did not work well. Restore seemed to go OK but then my computer froze, then were shut down by pressing the power button.

    However, the laptop will now not reboot. Just as I think it starts it goes to the error message and none of the options will work to start the computer, and I am now stuck on an endless loop of the above message.

    I don't want to use the product recovery disc, that he will wipe away all of the hard drive and I have the info I need access to! I have a recovery CD product for a Fujitsu which has windows xp edition family sp 1 on him. Is it possible that I can use this to start my computer or is there something else I need to do? I thought after pressing F12 and if it is possible to use the other drive Fujitsu to launch boot my system but do not know if this is possible. I don't have an xp disk from toshiba installation disc, when I bought the computer. :(

    I learned by a guy from the computer to the phone that sounds as if I need a new hard drive but would like to explore other methods before you go this route.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me. Susi

    Hi SusiB_1,

    Unfortunately, if you can start Windows t in any of these modes you have only one option and that is reinstall Windows. I mean you should do? You can do anything in this case

    As you wrote wipes disc, the whole HARD disc Toshiba Recovery and that's right because it of needed to recover to factory settings. But normally you should have a backup of your data or not?
    If this isn't the case, you can access the data, if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. From another computer, you now have access to these data.

    By the way: for Toshiba recovery disc you n t need a product key. Everything is already done in the recovery image and no activation is necessary. :)

  • Satellite A100 - starts Windows

    Without changing anything, my Satellite A100 starts Windows.

    A screen with Windows foutherstel (failure recovery) gives two options; Start windows normally and start recovery. When I push the first option, there is a quick blue screen, which disappears too quickly to read the music. Finally the resumption of failure screen comes back. in the alternative, there is a system that is said; Recovery Options screen It cannot start the program installated. Click Ok to shut down the computer.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Hi hans_3,

    Maybe something has confused the Windows registry or some important system files and thus, you can t more to start Windows or start the system repair option.

    I think in this case it of necessary to reinstall Windows. Therefore, you can take the Toshiba recovery disc that brings your computer back settings factor o where all the drivers and tools are already installed but it erases the entire HARD disk.
    It only takes a few minutes and needs just a few clicks.

    Good luck! :)

    After I installed Ubuntu, when I try to start Windows, the process stops and says that there is a mistake: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. But I can't run Ubuntu without problem.

    Is there any special step before installing a Dual Boot with Ubuntu system?

    My laptop is a Satellite C55 - C - 1 M 0.

    Thank you. Kind regards.

    I guess the problem is due to changes in the size of the partition. I found a few questions about google with a ubuntu - NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM query. Maybe you should take a look https://www.google.fr/search?q=ubunt...sm=93&ie=UTF-8

  • Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
    -----
    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite C650-1CP - cannot start Windows

    My C650, running on Windows 7 could not start properly today. When turn on/off he went to the Windows Error Recovery screen and gave me two options: run a startup repair and start Windows normally. I clicked on the repair option and on the bottom it says windows is loading files, then it's another loading screen, and finally to a black screen, which, after a few seconds, a cursor appears. No matter how long I left my laptop on nothing changes. So I decided to choose the second option, and he went to the splash screen windows with the logo of the movement. This form lasted around a minute, and then a blue screen with an error, which is then passed to a black screen. To see this error, I completely disabled the auto reboot on system failure in the F8 options and once restarted, he took me to the same error page.

    On the blue screen error was as follows:
    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

    She was followed by information saying that it's maybe a software / hardware problem and also to try safe mode.

    Technical information at the bottom were the following:

    STOP: 0X000000ED (0XFFFFFA8003DDFA50, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000185, 0 X 0000000000000000, 0 X 0000000000000000)

    I don't have a recovery disk, if I looked on websites have said recovery is built in. I also tried safe mode, repair your computer, last known config and other options in the F8 key, but these do not properly load and I end up on the black screen with a cursor again.

    I had originally to Exchange my laptop in a week to buy it because it was defective and I had a little less than 11 months, I wonder if there is a solution to this problem and also know if I am covered under warranty for this problem. Thank you.

    Hey,.

    Bluescreens are mainly problems of software or drivers so I think that reinstalling Windows would help to get rid of this.

    Why you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk? I mean in the user manual it clearly written that you have create such a floppy yourself and it only takes a few minutes and you need to blank DVDs. All that s.

    The recovery disk contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. It is an image pre-tested by Toshiba so everything will work after the installation of recovery. With this record, you are on the safe side.

    Anyway, you can order a recovery disc here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Software problems are not covered by the warranty. Of course, you can make the laptop to an authorized service provider and guys are going to reinstall to factory settings, but you have to pay for this service.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - cannot start Windows more

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 11Z model under Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm not very savvy computer. I can use my computer to perform tasks and use the software, but I m not very got when it comes to computer and tinkering under the hood, somehow.

    I was using the laptop yesterday evening to watch a You Tube playlist and was downloading a PDF 29MB file in the background. I have done this kind of thing before and never encountered any problems.

    When the download finished (I use Google Chrome) I clicked the button at the bottom left of the screen to open the download. You Tube then frozen.

    I could see the little green circle spinning around like loading upward download, but nothing was happening. Then Google Chrome no longer according to the bar at the top of the window.

    I tried CTRL + ALT + DEL, but the workload Manager wouldn t. The only thing I could do was turn off the laptop and running again, as it had frozen him completely. When I turned on it again, I had the Windows error recovery menu as shown in the following image.

    http://www.TechJaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Win7-error-recovery.PNG

    The problem is that none of these options does nothing. If you choose the recommended option (for example Startup Repair) it comes up with the gray bar saying Windows loads the files and then will just a black screen. By selecting Start Windows normally gets you to the swirling colorful circles that make up the logo Windows and he said: start Windows but still once, it does nothing but just stick to that.

    A friend told me that a BIOS reset * may help. However, I don't know how to get the BIOS on the laptop. He called Insyde H20 installed and I don't see the option to access the BIOS.

    Someone at - it ideas as to what could have wrong and how can I fix? I don't have a recovery disc as my laptop was bought for me by a charity. The warranty has expired now so that I can contact t their support line.

    To be honest I don't think BIOS has nothing to do with it. Start your laptop and press F8 several times to display the advanced startup options. You will find the option to start the operating system in safe mode.
    If please test and let us know what happen when you try to do.

  • HP M9000: Black screen after the "Starting Windows" logo and the windows on the screen

    I just gave me a m9040n HP Pavilion Elite with a Q6600 CPU, graphics card ge force and two 500 GB HARD drives in.

    When I starts it up it seems to be ok the HP blue screen will lights up at the start of the BONE and displays "starting Windows" on the screen with the windows logo. and then it goes to black with just the cursor on the screen. (Vista) So I know WHAT BIOS is ok, the graphics are windows allowed from.

    I went to the HP system F11 recovery and he seems to think that all is well... Very confused ideas?

    It looks like one or more of the boot loader files has been corrupted.

    You need access to a PC for this phase of work in order to create the necessary support to fix your PC boot loader.

    You will need to create something called a CD-ROM of repair of Win7. This will repair the boot loader files, and if that is the problem, your PC will start OK after that.  Yes, it's for Win7, but Vista uses the same bootstrapper, so you can use Win7 to repair the Vista bootloader files.

    The file you need can be obtained (with supplement) from this link: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/

    When you download this file, it will be an ISO file.

    To make a CD bootable it, you will need to download and install ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/

    Once you have installed, run, select the option "Save image to disk file" and select the downloaded ISO file and that it points to a blank CD.

    To make a USB bootable of it, you will need to download and install RUFUS: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    Once you have that, it is executed in the input of the unit, use the drop down menu to select the USB stick.  Near the bottom right, where is written 'Create a bootdisk to aid', select the ISO file downloaded.
    -------------------------------------

    Boot from the media that you have created and follow the instructions in this link: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html

    You will probably need to run Startup Repair three times for him to fix all the boot loader.

    Once completed, your PC should start OK.

    If it isn't, then some files of the operating system has also been corrupted and the only way to fix it would be to perform a system recovery - which if F11 does not work, but a recovery from the PC to its original using recovery media state.

    Problem there is that HP no longer wears a recovery media for the Vista PC, so you should check to see if these sites still have it: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

    Good luck
