"The operating system not found" message after the display of the Dell Logo

My HDU failed (Inspiron 5100 using XP Home).  I installed a new HDU, you use Win XP Home oem disk (object of Dell original lost).  Use the drive as a partition.

Now to start a 'Operating System Not Found' message appears after the Dell Logo is displayed.

Pressing on Ctrl/alt/del removes the message, and the Dell Logo displays of new laptop starts perfectly in XP Home...

I guess that's because I couldn't set up the small partition normally present (assume it has diagnostic data, etc.).

No way to delete the message?  (?? The BIOS setting?)

  • Re: Satellite U400: operating system not found then the installation of the OS

    I have a toshiba satellite u400 with is come with VISTA.

    Because I don't like VISTA, I then installed WINDOWS XP with a multi boot.

    Everything worked well. But one day I want to resize my partitions I used Paragon partition manager.
    This product is required to operate only to resize my xp partition, so he asks me a start.

    And then nothing works.

    I try to fix my problem with a fresh install, but it seems that the boot sector was not correct.
    Then I completely format my hard disk on another computer with a USB CABLE.

    When I try to install VISTA, XP or LINUX on a CD or DVD, I ask the multiboot with F12
    I chose to boot from the CD/DVD built-in, but I get only "OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND',

    It's as if the BIOS test the HARD to FIND something specific, and it does not find.
    When my PC worked correctly I could boot from the drive to dvd without problem.

    I called the SUPPORT CENTER of about 10 days, but I have no answer.

    So if someone could help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND message appears generally if the laptop has attempted to boot from the HARD drive and didn t find the operating system.

    But I put t understand why you formatted the HARD drive using the USB cable?

    Please insert HARD drive in the Bay of laptops HARD drive and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS!
    If the HARD drive has been recognised so I recommend you to take a disk Win XP Home and at the start of this disc.

    As I m not wrong not you will need to first install the SATA drivers to recognize the HARD drive.
    The fact is that the laptop supports the SATA controller and SATA drivers are needed to get the HARD drive recognized by Win XP.

    Well, after you have booted from the Win XP disc you need to format the new HDD by using the NTFS file format and should then follow with the installation of the OS.

    Hi Gary,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

    According to the description, you have problems with the computer not start.

    This problem can occur because of a hardware problem.

    Proceed as from the link below and check if that helps.

    "Operating system not found" or the "Missing operating system" error message when you start your Windows XP-based computer

    Warning: Be careful when you change the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

    Meet us if you face problems with computer not start or any other issue of Windows, and we would be happy to help you.

    Hello

    If you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your laptop there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    Also some manufacturers have more available recovery Vista disc.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    Above is the way you normally boot from the Vista recovery disks.

  • 'Operating system not found', can't the recovery partition, do not have a recovery disk

    Original title: recovery Partition not here and not backed up copy of Win8

    I have an 18 month, Acer Aspire V5-571pg now out of warranty.  For the last 3 days, of what it has been in a loop bringing repair until this morning disc error messages, it just says "operating system not found '.  A call to Acer support and we have tried to activate the recovery Partition using Alt - F10 but it seems that the partition is not there either, and of course I did not create a recovery disk when I got the laptop.  I was not eager to send the Acer laptop for service after the warranty expires, I thought I should at least attempt of recovery or re - install.  Windows 8 is a preinstalled OEM version.  Where should I start?  Y at - he's going to be a download that I can use and what I need to know a product key to install?  Should I get Acer to send me a recovery disk?  Not super PC here but am knowledge letter wins all the time.  I hope someone understands my situation.  Thank you

  • Windows Vista has crashed, "the operating system not found" error, can I load Windows XP on a partition?

    I have an Acer Aspire 5516, with pre-installed Windows Vista. I didn't know that it did not come with a recovery disk UNTIL my system crashed! During a routine virus scan, I got a blue screen saying a major problem has been found and the system has been shut down. I followed the instructions to gracefully shut down my laptop. When I turned this back on after the "Acer" logo he went to a black screen with info on my computer and the last line States "not found operating system". That's when I discovered there was no recovery disc & it is integrated into the system. To access this system you we F8 to enter safe mode, then Alt F10 to access 'erecovery management system. Neither one of these functions operate! Still getting the black screen with "operating system" not found I have a Windows XP my laptop previous. What I was wondering is if I can load on my Acer, possibly on a partition, in order to be able to get into my laptop and save all of my files? I'm terrified of losing everything I have! I have thousands of pictures that I can't replace. If anyone can help please do! I am on a very limited income & can not really afford professional help. Thank you very much in advance!

    Hello

    normally with an Acer you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the hidden recovery partition recovery, not F8, then this combo

    but you do not have an option to save your data, that

    in daily use acers normally have a system partition, a partition of data to save your data, etc. to and also this hidden partition recovery

    and read this on data recovery, too;

    Data recovery

    1. remove the hard drive and it slave in another computer

    2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard put in yout case then plug it into another computer and read the hard drive like this

    3. try Knoppix

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    BUT this method 3 depends on your hardware in the computer that failed

    read this information about method 3:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    In the setting VM Edit tab there is an option to go to the bios directly before trying to start. box to check that option and power on the virtual machine, it will go to the bios now set your first boot on CD/DVD device and apply to restart this will make the option set.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the 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.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

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

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

    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.
