trying to restore my dell 1520. "repair your computer" option is not available on the «Advanced Start menu»
I have an Inspiron 1520 running Windows vista. I'm doing a restore of the entire system, instructions on the Dells Web site that press "F8" at startup. It is no problem, Advanced Start menu opens, and then its saying to select "Repair computer". That's the question, 'repair your computer' is not where to find them. I tried several times to contact Dell about this issue. They tell me when I chat online to call, when I call they want to charge me for technical support because my laptop is out of warranty. Please help, I need to have my laptop works properly again for work or school.
Thank you
Dan
Hi Dan,.
· You try to perform a factory restore?
· Is there any disk Vista Installation Dell provided with the laptop?
I suggest you use the boot record and check.
If this is not the case, this option is to contact Dell for assistance.
I hope this helps.

"Repair your computer" option missing
Hello
I recently bought an Inspiron notebook. It came with four partitions on the disk:
-Small utility Dell (hidden)
-10 GB Dell Recovery
-Main OS Partition (NTFS - OS drive)
-2.5 GB Partition (hidden) MediaDirect
As soon as I got my hands in the system, I copied the recovery on an external hard drive partition and delete the original from the hard drive of the laptop. When I rebooted, vista bootloader shows now two startup options:
-The first boots into Windows normally
-The second gives a «winload.exe» error message missing
So I inserted vista dvd in the drive and used the recovery option to repair the boot loader. This deleted the entry of falty, but as a result, removed the "Repair your computer" option in the F8 boot menu. Now I can't restore factory settings even place after regaining the recovery partition is original.
How to restore the F8 menu so that it shows the option "repair your computer"?

Satellite L500 - how to restore the menu "repair your computer"?
Hello world
I have a laptop Toshiba L500, Yestaday I tried to restore the system to the factory settings (by pressing F8 at startup high and choose "repair your computer"). In the system has been installed almost, but at a stage of installation drivers to read memory cards and similar - there was a failure (the blue screen and need down) - after that - Windows 7 is not loaded. parsing errors (by means using a floppy disk to another Windows 7 install) says that the registry is damaged, cannot repair.
but the main problem - when you press F8 at startup upward - there is no MORE menu 'Repair your computer' (!) . It is impossible to start Windows 7 predefined. So there's the hidden sector containing Windows predefined (I saw when loading a disc of hatch - Total order could start - and hidden sector was visible). All files in drive recovery HARD necessary are also available.
How to restore the menu "repair your computer"? or how it is possible to start Windows predefined without pressing F8?
> Hidden article exists, I saw it, there are all the files recovery HARD drive (which was in the laptop after buying), but I can't begin to recover Windows because I don't have menu not 'repair your computer' to start the laptop. He disappeared...
Of course, the flag in the Advanced Start menu seems to be deleted and therefore drive recovery HARD option isn't available anymore.
Probably the partition has changed.But in case of HARD drive recovery files are still available on the recovery partition, you can try to create the USB support of own recovery using of workaround:

'Repair your computer' won't work on Satellite L30 - 101
When I press F8 togo in this menu which gives the safe mode and other things, when I click on repair your computer, it won't work, it just asks me to power off the computer.
How can I fix it.The problem started after I installed Winutilities that eventually delete all my photos but also installed programs showing as empty when I click on start at the bottom left. If I try to open Windows Media for example, it says its empty (since Winutilities deleted my stuff) so I tried to use repair your computer and that no longer works
Help as im desperate
Hello
Maybe your system is confusing upward. You said, you have installed some software stuff (Winutilities) and possibly this affected your system.
If you have a Vista disc (not the recovery disk Toshiba), you can start Notepad using this disc. During initialization, you should be able to choose a repair console providing an option that might help to fix and repair the system.
If this is not enough, then you will need to install the new system :(

Cannot perform a system recovery option "repair your computer".
I have an ADVENT PC with preinstalled vista. I had problems with my computer and it won't start in safe mode. I really want to do a destructive recovery of the entire system, but my computer won't let me even do.I start my computer and press F8. I select "repair your computer". At this point, according to my vista manual, I should get a selection menu language and the "Microsoft Windows start repair Environment. Instead, I get the windows logo, and then the log in screen. But instead of the usual choice of two user accounts, I have one option "Other user" very boring, with user name and password required. I tried my regular username and password, but it does not work. It says invalid or unable to connect at this time.
So what's happening? Is there a way I can get into the system recovery options?
Thank you, but finally I solved this problem by using a DVD I had been recommended to do when I got the recovery computer.

I reinstalled Windows Vista and now I can't run "repair your computer".
I reinstalled Windows Vista and now I can't run "repair your computer". I need to do this because I'm missing a few scripts. What should I do to fix this
Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

I attempt to backup my iPhone several times and it does not backup. I received a message stating "several files were not available at the time of the backup. How can I solve this problem?
Hello Lope8725,
Looks like you are trying to backup either iCloud or iTunes, but you have found an error on files being unavailable. Can reply you with the exact wording or a screenshot of the message you are getting?
In the meantime, you can solve the problem with either of those two sections depending on whether or not it's iTunes or iCloud:
If iCloud backup could not be completed or if you can not restore
or
If your iTunes backup could not be completed or you cannot restore from a backup
See you soon!

"Updates installs then your computer stops" shows everyday - is this the same update
original title: "install updates then shuts down your computer"-windows vista home premium
Start button still shows a small yellow icon next to the 'Off' button that says "install updates then shuts down your computer" every day. Is this the same update? or malware? I don't think I'm getting a new update every day. because it says "Installing Update 1 2" whenever I installed. I ran the antivirus scans and malware and even Spybot - Search and Destroy, apart from a few cookies scans are clean. This seems to have appeared after the first time I installed this update. instead of turning off my computer later he just had the black screen and not ended up closing; I had to turn off manually. The few times that I have installed this "update", it took about 5-7 minutes. The yellow icon disappeared after installing the updates, but comes back the next time I push the button start. I even did a restore of the system without result. How can I get rid of this?
Hello

Method 1:

How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!
How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?
You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.
If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.
Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.
Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.
Is this the same problem as above, or another?
I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.
Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing
