• Laptop stuck on "Starting Windows" screen

  So, this afternoon, I tried to start my laptop HPG42-373, and it got stuck on "Starting Windows" screen. I ran tests of memory at startup and primary HD, in which startup failed, and primary HD came out with this: "hard disk 1 (303) Quick '. What can I do to solve this problem, if anything, or just to save what I can from my old files?

  Hello

  303 error code is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the question of commissioning.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know.

  ************************************

  Concerning access to the data on this HARD drive, here are some options you can try.

  1. one possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

  2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

• Stuck on "starting windows" screen during installation of Windows 7

  Hello

  I used windows 10 in dell inspiron13 7000 series. Now, I want to use windows 7 as for my personal use. When I try to boot my laptop with USB stick bootable, because I don't have cd player in my laptop. The problem is when I run the startup it stuck at 'starting windows' screen I can't go any further, so I need force shutdown my laptop. I am unable to install windows 7 on my laptop. What can I do, please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hi Praveen,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

  1. is Windows 10 still installed on your computer or you have wiped the hard drive?
  2. don't you upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10?

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  If Windows 10 is installed, you can downgrade to Windows 7 within 30 days of the upgrade. If it crosses the 30 day limit, the option in the settings that allows you to return to your previous version of Windows will not be available.

  Please see this link:
  Return to Windows 7 or Windows 8.1
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-10/going-back-to-Windows-7-or-Windows-81

  However, if you want to install Windows 7 from an external installation media, you can re-create the rack installation of Windows 7 from this link:
  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows7

  It is possible that the installation media does not develop properly. Please also make sure that you disconnect all the devices connected to the computer before installing Windows 7.

  Note: You may lose programs installed after upgrading Windows 10. I strongly recommend to back up your personal files and data on an external hard drive.

  I hope this information helps.

  Simply answer the required information and let us know if you need more help.

  Thank you

• Try to load windows on the new drive, stuck at 'starting windows' screen

  So I'm actually down ranking of windows 8 pro to windows 7 pro two 64. I was finally able to get the comp not recongize just load the USB. My problem is that when it does not start, I'm stuck at 'Starting windows' screen I was wondering, perhaps, that I need to format a patition first? It's a new Lenovo warranty hard drive. (Kind of funny how to send CD's for a laptop that doesn't have a cd player only) I looked in the formatting of a usb key, have had some difficulty in finding a reliable way... Thank you

  Hi davefromsb,

  Windows 8 computers have a bios "UEFI" and so will come with "Secure Boot" as well as "UEFI" only start enabled. Disable secure boot if you do not have and choose start to the "legacy" methods The problem is most likely that the image of Windows 7 which has been engraved on the USB key was burned using an instead of a TPG one MBR partition scheme. I hope this helps.

  Hello

  There are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option, if you came to laptop with Windows 7, you might consider is to create your own installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( must be the same version - i.e. Home Premium.) Professional etc. - initially supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen

  The problem I have is this, whenever I start my PC there is a delay on the 'Starting Windows' screen. The screen does not freeze or anything just ten minutes to bring up the Log In screen. It's the only time where that the PC is delayed, it has no effect on the operation of the PC. I uninstalled my anti virus and that does make a difference and I have made sure all drivers are up to date. Anyone have any suggestions?

• Window remains white screen after starting windows screen. the system hangs after Mup.sys on safe mode

  The title pretty much everything said.

  The problem occurred on a fault that Dell Vostro 2510 with the additional option should only do the downgrade of Win Xp (from Vista).  As noted, on normal startup, the system will remain in a blank screen after the Windows Xp "loading" screen.  And on safe mode, it will join Mup.sys and then hang there.

  The closest thing that I got from a web search was a thread in forum saying that the official info from Microsoft was that it was a question of Win Xp/motherboard (http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/31874/?o=40 halfway to a post by Bobb Fwed).  The poster provided no link, so I don't know how official his info was really.

  Thank you

• Satellite P300 with XP hangs at the screen "starting windows."

  I recently bought the Satellite P300 - 01 and had XP installed on it. I have fixed all the problems except for the question, that I'm going to start.

  When I turn on the laptop it loads everything flashes on the login screen and then hangs at 'starting windows' screen If I turn it off and then again about three times this issue finally arrives with the login screen. There was an ASP.NET account, and after the BIOS update that he disappeared, but the problem is still there? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  > There was an ASP.NET account, and he disappeared after the update of the BIOS
  The whole story is really strange

  I put t know how you installed XP on this laptop and why an ASP.NET account was created or exist, but in your case I would recommend doing so again.
  Then install all service packs, hotfixes and patches of the XP!

  Simply show words on XP on P300.
  A friend of mine has installed XP on a P300 yesterday too and the XP works well
  Everything works fine!

• Failed to start windows recovery

  Compaq cq56-115dx. This is my sencond attempt to try to do a system restore with the HP recovery discs, I just got. Recovery starts with a message "loading files". Then, I get a message "starting windows." And, that's all. Two hours later the windows icon is always on the screen and nothing else happens. I tried several times and each time it hangs on the windows splash screen. For information on the first original attempt to perform the recovery, I was actually quite successful and made it through all three discs. I got a message to restart the computer to complete the installation. When I did the reboot I got an error message that windows cannot restart and I needed to redo the installation. I don't remember the exact wording. I guess I could have gotten a bad file or something and frustrated to lose several hours, I started the second recovery attempt. Now, as mentioned, I'm just hung up on the 'starting windows' screen Before the takeover, the computer was running. Now it won't start, message "windows couldn't start.

  I removed the battery and unplugged the computer for about 5 minutes. Tried recovery, and it does not work as it should now. Not sure why it works now, but he did.  I tried at least six times before that, and he continued to cling on the gray screen.

• Crash stuck to repair or start windows normally screen.

  system was crushed, put off during a windows update. never had a problem before. Stuck repair (recommended or start windows normally screen.) How can I fix it?

   

  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...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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.

  See you soon.

• Windows does not start. Stuck on the WIndows logo or a black screen United

  Original title: BOOT ERROR

  It's been 6 days since my computer is having this problem.i spin asrock pc.the problem is when I restart my computer it doesn't not load some time the screen appears black and sometimes windows logo appears faintly.and when I restart once more, he sows me windows error message it says windows does not start correctly and give me options to start , they start windows normally, sfafe mode, last known good... etc.when I chose an option and start same happens.but when I turned off my pc and wait a minute and start windows boot normally without a problem.is this because of my startup file or something else?

  No, you can't.

  If you have a true bootable XP with SP1 or SP2 installation CD, you can create a new installation CD with SP3 integrated using a process called "slipstreaming".

  It is a pleasure to the project for a day and there are several methods, you can read on the Internet, such as BleepingComputer:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial154.html

  If you want to use the Recovery Console and is not a real XP bootable installation CD or are not sure what you have, simply create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console yourself (without XP media required)

  Here's how:

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

  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:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  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:

• Office stuck in a loop of starting Windows XP restart after changing the map of memory of RAM DDR

  I added that a card of memory DRAM DDR to my CPU ENPower and immediately after my monitor has not received a signal. Then, after reading several articles, I cleaned the CMOS battery, and although he got the monitor works he has also prevented my system to boot with the Windows XP operating system. I've accessed the CMOS utility to change the date/time, nothing helps I still can't get in Windows XP and the user login screen. Now, the system passes through 1 and 2 screens that are part of the commissioning, then lands on the Safe Mode Options screen by which he gets "stuck" not allowing me to select the data options, then it will auto restart every 30 seconds.

  The screen message reads:

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly or has been automatically closed down to protect your files or folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked. If a previos startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the power or Reset button was pressed, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally. »

  Safe mode

  Safe mode with networking

  Safe mode with command prompt

  Last good known Configuration

  Start Windows normally

  All the these appear on the same screen, but I have no opportunity to select one of them during this mode my pc in.

  What should I do? I need to access the BIOS utility to change the settings of the RAM, or is there something else that I forgot who will be able to get my pc to the top and running properly again?

  Thanks for your advice in advance!

  Remove the memory module that you added.  If the computer can be started without him, then the module is defective or is not compatible with your computer.
