  External DVD USB drives are cheap. Usually $20 for a good quality player. Just buy one of these at Best Buy or another store and use it to install Snow Leopard. Then you also have a drive for something else that you have on the disk.

• Stream 13-c002: 10 broken Windows, recovery & reset fail.

  Hello.
  
  I bought a laptop HP flow, with 10 Windows pre-installed.
  
  I burned a set of recovery disks. I also got the product key OEM of Windows from the BIOS.
  
  Then my broken Windows 10. Cannot start. Get reviews of the process died error.
  
  Then I tried to recover. I get errors on the recovery of all and reset methods. Tried to 'keep my files', 'erase disc', etc..
  
  Then I downloaded and installed the unique language of Microsoft Windows 10 N ISO. It installs and runs without error.
  
  But he does not accept the product key OEM HP on this Stream l.
  
  I suspect that the store may have updated the computer from 8 to 10, and the OEM key is for 8, not 10.
  
  According to the HP website, my warranty is active.
  
  What can I do? I believe that, if the computer comes with 8, then if HP would provide 8 installation disc, that would solve everything. The recovery partition is not, so I need the complete installation disk.
  
  Or any other solution?
  
  THX,
  Johny.

  Hello

  Looks like the machine shipped with Windows 8.1 so it must have been updated with the windows 10 - this means generally that the upgraded version would be 10 Windows Home 64-bit.

  As long as the installation of Windows 10 has been enabled, the profile of this material should have been registered with the Microsoft activation servers and reinstall the correct version should translate into automatic start-up; but it is version dependent.  Try to perform a new installation with 64-bit Windows 10 Home as stated in the guide on the following link.

• Re: Tecra S3 - new 250 gb Sata hdd - windows does not recoginse

  Hi all

  I have a tecra S3-PTS30-E, which came from the company, I work for which was no longer necessary.

  I replaced the current 40 GB with two different - hdd

  Western Digital 250 GB WD2500BPVT

  Toshiba 120 GB - MK1252GSX

  I tried both separately and windows XP pro service pack 3 will not recognize either.

  I have downloaded the driver sata toshiba Web site and installed via F6 at startup, windows asks you what driver, windows 2000 or XP, I click on XP and you enter, windows continues until advising so none found HDD

  I also tried to download drivers intel after searching other threads, and it does not work through floppy.

  I also added the drivers toshiba XP ISO using nlite to create a disk slipstream and while xp is loading the disc, I noticed 'pilot toshiba raid' being installed. Same no result no hard drive found.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  According to the specifications on this page:

  Your laptop's Ide interface, as far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits, which means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB.

• Tecra M2 - Windows does not start correctly

  My computer recently crashed and I suspect that this has affected the BIOS. I believe that the cause was a hardware problem or Trojan horse, as when the computer is restarted it will fail to load the BIOS at all 9/10 of the time. I found the Toshiba Tecra M2 BIOS V1.50 and it says it takes V0.06.00 of Modules common Toshiba, which was more difficult to find and could not solve the problem. Installation of an updated BIOS failure as well.

  For now, Windows loads up with lines running down the screen; When the windows startup failed and by displaying the "Windows did not start successfully screen', some letters are altered," soory for you e afconvenaence, but Wandows dad ngt star ^ correctlq'. "

  A new installation of Windows has failed to achieve anything more. If anyone has an idea how to solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello!

  I think that it is a problem of material caused by the BIOS or the graphics card.

  However, it s not able to change the graphics card because it s soldered onto the system board.

  Perhaps an ASP can help you and do a downgrade from the BIOS, but I think that you need a new mainboard.

  Good bye

  In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

• How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

  I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Where are the logs/reports disk check in Windows Vista?

  I ran the check disk on the hard disk on which Windows Vista is installed (drive c).

  The Vista disk log check are as follows: click Start, Control Panel,

  The Application looking for Wininit events in the Source column.

  You can also use the search feature to locate Wininit.

• Windows (vista) could start even in safe mode. disk repair and system restore do nothing. all comes back to the same error screen

  Windows Boot Manager

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

  1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.

  2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".

  3. click on "repair your computer".

  If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

  File: \Windows\system32\config\system

  Status: 0 x 0000225

  Info: Windows could not load because the system registry file is missing or corrupt.

  Enter = continue or esc = exit

  I put in the repair disk and need to "select" system none were so I click Next and let it run for the night, about 12 hours later the blue progress bar was still in progress on the same window so I guess it doesn't work anymore. I would like to reinstall windows, but I can't drive to format...

  Go into the BIOS

  Then look for boot options, or boot order
  Change the boot order to boot from the CD / DVD rom (i.e. does not start from the HD, boot from the cd to install disks).
  Now you can do a full reinstall but that your last resort.
