• "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

  Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

  Hi JohnHorky,

  Step 1:

  First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

  Step 2:

  Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

  a. Insert the installation disc.

  b. restart your computer.

  c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

  d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

  f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

  Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

  Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

  h. close all applications and restart the computer.

  Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

  Step 3:

  Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

  I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

  Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Windows Vista update will not install and causes cell phone restart. Laptop will not reboot and Startup Repair cannot fix the problem.

  Windows Update tried to install 4 days now. Every time he tries it tells me it failed and trying to install in manually. He said then the laptop restarts, but it does not start. Startup Repair tells me that it cannot solve the problems.
  I don't know how to go beyond this problem, can someone help me? I have no disk Vista as it came pre-installed on my laptop. Help, please!

  If your Vista is preinstalled, ANY support for your laptop is the manufacturer of the computer, not Microsoft.

  Try this:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back 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.

• Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

  Hello
  My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

  I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

  My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

  Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

  Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

  If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

  Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

  However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

  But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

  Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

  Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

• I removed a secondary hard drive but now Vista will not boot. I tried startup repair, but failed. What alternatives are there?

  It is a desktop computer that I built myself, so I have no tech support. Until I removed the hard drive, I formatted to remove all data. Since then, Vista does not start. I used my installation disc to repair Vista, but that has failed. I tried the system restore, which was a success, but Vista still does not start. What else can I do to solve this problem.

  Hello itisallgeektome,

  Open Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management, and then in the next window, click on disk management. When the disk management window opens look down the list of partitions and see if you have a "system reserved" partition This is where the system files are stored.

  If you have installed the drive 'after' that you installed vista, then I accept the boot files would not be on the second drive, but it seems strange that the windows repair option will not correct the bootloader. However, by doing an inplace upgrade this will re - install windows vista (but it will not, or should not affect your files/programs (However it might be useful to back up all the important files that you cannot just in case beed)). As a complete reinstallation is completed, it will create a new bootloader in the process.

• Vista will not boot corrupted registry and no system restore

  Hi I hope some kind person help me please with my rather urgent dilemma?

  I Went to turn on my laptop and it could not start. (vista ultimate 32-bit edition)

  Instead, he takes me to the windows startup repair, and after a few times of cycling through it, it says
  "cannot repair this computer automatically.

  Signature of the problem
  #1-Autofailover
  #2-6.0.6000.16386.6.0.6000.16386
  #3-4
  #4-262147
  #5-registre corrupted
  #6-Registre corrupted
  #7-999
  #8-3
  Restore #9-Registre
  #10-0
  version of the OS - 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1

  I tried to insert disk vendors and changed the boot sequence in the bios, but still takes me to the system recovery Startup Repair (which it does not correct)

  I tried F8 last good config and always the same cycle of system startup repair, then no solution.

  I am at a loss with this, I did something unusual to the laptop until I stopped him, he just decided that the registry has been corrupted.

  I also had a backup on my external HARD drive but boot from it's exactly the same (goes directly into the system repair)

  Surely, I can recover my OS somehow, without losing all my data?

  Any help with this would be appreciated seriously!

  Thank you

• Computer now put in hibernation, Vista will not boot. Computer stuck on black screen after startup. Help?

  I put my computer on 'Hibernate' when I went to bed. When I woke up, I started the computer learned to manufacturer (HP) computer screen introduction as usual, but windows doesn't not load afterwards, as he usually does: I just get a black screen. Lights supply and all the rest are on. Just nothing happens. Any ideas?

  Can I use the firmware from HP (I guess that's what it is) to confirm that my memory and hard drive are very good. I tried Googling the problem, and some signs indicate a problem with the powercfg parameter. I can't get in cmd.exe to reset because I can't get into windows (although through HP firmware, I can enter in "Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - cmd", which seems the same, but the orders that I see offered on websites do not seem to work - help?).

  If your computer has an OEM version (supplied with the computer) of Windows Vista, it is linked to the original motherboard and when you replaced the motherboard the license becomes invalid.  The only exception is if the original motherboard been replaced by or with the approval of the OEM (computer manufacturer) due to a failed motherboard and an exact match is not available.  It would then the OEM manufacturer to provide a license appropriate for the computer.

• Windows 7 computer physical exported to the virtual machine and now will not boot on another machine

  Hello

  What I tried to do is the following:

  Export/create a virtual machine from the current physical running computer. After it's done, I plug in the USB key which contains the files of virtual computer for a laptop and try to start this virtual machine. It does not start due to "recent changes". This probably means that the OS never will start, right?

  This seems odd to me, or I can't understand what is happening here. I thought that to have a virtual machine means that the operating system could not doing the physical machine, it is running on, but just saw it is virtualized OS/machine.

  I would like to "clone" a current physical machine and then run it on another PC is because we need to have a client machine, convert applications on it and then return either the image (if they already had a running image) or we have a complete script on how to convert/upgrade for that client applications so that the downtime will be minimal and maximum success rate.

  Info:

  VMWare Workstation 7.1.2

  Windows 7 (desktop and laptop PC run this) 32-bit

  Some clients running ESX and we want to take a picture of that and do the same trick as for workstation

  A thinking about it?

  See you soon,.

  I bought a copy of Virtualization Manager 2010 at the time where converter couldn't handle windows 7.

  Nowadays the 4.3 version should work well.

• Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

  Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

  What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

  start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

  When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

  I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

  An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

  So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  Hello

  First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

  Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

  As Windows automatically launches the Startup Repair tool there is a possibility that she cannot cross the whole scan problems.

  I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

  If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

  1. Insert the installation disc.
  2. restart your computer.
  Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
  3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
  Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
  4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
  5. click on Repair your computer.
  6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.

  If startup repair does not resolve the issue then in the same way using the windows vista disc try to restore system until the day where computer was working fine.

  I hope this helps!
