System froze during posting. No hard drive or mouse activity.

you expected to validate the installation.

I just reinstalled windows xp pro on my wifes pc. installation went through normal operations, etc., complete, rebooted and then asked wether I want to validate this copy of windows? I do and you click Yes. the screen is now sitting with the office, display, no high or low bars and no activity on the pointer (eggtimer!) or the light of the hard drive.

You can try to re - arming the system - which will give you another 30 days to fix things...

(Note: If this has been done before, it may fail, in which case you're SOL.)

You might be able to solve your immediate problem of the 30-day activation grace period has expired by resetting it. Follow these steps:

1. If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, do.

2. at the command prompt, type this command exactly (space, caps and comma are required):

Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

3. restart.

If you did it, your activation grace period will have been reset, giving you more time to work on the problem.

  • Re: Can I repair the operating system without resetting the whole HARD drive?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M50, I ran an antivirus in safe mode scan today and must have accidentally deleted a file system because now I can not connect.
    The computer will start but when I try to log in it connect, flash back, my office to the floor once and then connect again.
    I can repair the operating system without resetting the entire hard drive and lose all my files?

    And if not, is there someway to initiate a prompt BACK because I don't that the file is still in the recycling bin, and I might be able to restore it.

    Hello Bambi

    Repair option with the recovery DVD (image recovery) is not available. Using recovery DVDs, you can install OS and have once again the factory settings.
    As far as I know at the BACK level, you can start using BACK discus. You can create bootable CDs.

    You can start your computer in Mode safe?

  • When you try to create a system image on an external hard drive, I have an I/O error ox8078002A.

    I use an HP Pavilion dv7 notebook PC and a 3 TB of Seagate external hard drive USB 3.0.  Operating system is Windows7 64 bit.  Support Microsoft suggests running chkdsk /R on the Seagate drive and I am currently doing this (time consuming).  Another post suggested trying another USB port, but producing the same result.  Any other suggestions?  Thank you.

    I consulted the Seagate Support site and learned that the backup drive Seagate Plus will back up only data, not file system.  He is going back to the store.  Thanks to those who tried to help him.

  • HP G71-340US recovery of the system using a new smaller hard drive (SSD)

    I replaced the hard drive on an HP G71-340US notebook with a Solid State Drive (240 GB).  The original drive (who did not) was a 320 GB drive.

    I tried to perform the Reovery of system using the recovery disks that I created when I bought the laptop.  However, the only option enabled when you are trying to restore is 'Factory Reset'.  When I choose this option, the recovery process may not continue his run as "... the hard drive of this computer is smaller than the original shipped hard disk.

    Is there a way I can go beyond that?  Any suggestions/help would be most appreciated!

    Thank you!

    HP System normal recoveries do not usually work on smaller hard disks. You may need to use a spinner legacy 320 GB hard drive and more capacity to perform the Factory image restore and then make a migration of data to the SSD. It is unfortunate that you chose to change for one SSD after the original spinner hard drive has failed.

    With SSDS, in particular the best method is to use a upgrade kit or data migration kit.

    A data migration kit consists of software cloning and a usb to SATA cable. The USB to SATA cable connect the SSD to the usb port of the laptop for the cloning process that is part of the migration of the data.

    The software provided by manufacturers such as Samsung and Corsair SSD are usually able to transfer all of the operating system and on a smaller hard disk partitions.

  • Satellite A50 - message from system disk insert after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have an old A50 and the HARD drive comes with it's very slow and cracking now, so I'm trying to replace it with a new HDD - Hitachi travelstar 7200 RPM of 60 GB, with ATA interface.

    I took the old HDD and put the new, then on A50 and press F12, and then insert the CD recovery and restored (installation) everything on the new HARD drive. Once it's done, I rebooted A50, but what I got is then a black screen with the message "Insert system disk..." Does anyone know what I did wrong? I got tired of it several times, but I got the same results...

    Thank you.

    I think that Akuma is right.

    On FAT32 and Windows 98 should define the active partition, and then it should work.
    Then download a MS-DOS boot disk and burn it to a CD as Akuma has suggested. I tried it and it works :)
    It is quite easy with Nero.

    Good luck!

  • Creating image of the system partition to a new hard drive FACTORY_IMAGE

    Sorry if this has been posted before...

    The neighbor in its Pavilion's hard drive is dying. I can access all the files on the partition FACTORY_IMAGE, but not the primary partition because of hard drive problems. He did not make a recovery DVD/CD set. I have the drive plugged into another computer. Is it possible to recreate the DVD recovery since the FACTORY_IMAGE partition with the damaged main partition and hard disk in another PC? I am aware that he can order replacement from HP discs, but it would be nice to slap a new hard drive in this weekend and bring it to the top and running. Thank you.

    He has proved to be easier to reintall windows, then the drivers from scratch.

  • How to recover windows system when it is destroyed hard drive and not COA?

    I'm sure that many people have encountered this problem. My system, including hard drive, was destroyed by an electrical surge, and I had no record of the serial number of the product.  I had a valid installation of Win XP - How can I get a new number to use for my replacement system?

    The answer depends on many factors that you don't specify.  Most of the OEM machines (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.) have an OEM license that is valid for the first machine that it has been installed on.  If your motherboard was part of the 'system' that has been fried, your license was probably fried with it.  Some OEM licenses are locked to the BIOS of the motherboard so that if you replace the motherboard by the same jury from the same manufacturer, then the original installation disc can recognize it and install Windows XP without even asking for authentication.

    And it is this:

    I did find something online that contains all the system boot or start specific drivers. Windows and harddrive was working in another computer just before he was switched. Let me know if you need other information.

    Thank you.

    First of all you are missing probably a number of device drivers, particularly the network card driver and the driver of the motherboard.  Use your XP disk to perform a repair installation.  This should go a long way toward you're going to get.  If your new box has a driver disc that should help a lot.  You can't port XP perfectly the way you did.   It usually requires a repair installation to fix the hardware abstraction layer.

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • Can I install the Vista upgrade to my system if I erased the hard drive?

    I recently struck out everything what one of my hard drives. Can I install an upgrade of Vista on it?

    The requirements for the multimedia upgrade is to have an operating system already qualify as installed Windows XP to use it

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    You can try the following:

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows Vista Upgrade disc.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows Vista DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your Windows Vista key product and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

  • Do I have to create a system image on a backup hard drive?

    For some reason, my backup program is suddenly telling me that I don't have enough space to back up my files and create a system image backup.
