Trying to Setup dual boot with XP and Vista, but Vista is stuck in a boot loop, error 0xc0000225

Hello

I have a Windows Vista Home Basic, and I wanted it to dualboot with XP.

XP does not work very well, but when I want to start vista, its stucks after start the screen with the moving bar.

When I try to start in safe mode it stucks when the drivers are loaded, and when I want to run the Startup Repair, it is said:

Cannot start Windows

0xC0000225 a required device is not connected or is not accessible

I tried to run CHKDSK, but when I do its very long taking ~ 2 hours ~ but I have strength finsihed it completely yet. How long CHKDSK can take? And this can solve it?

EDIT: CHKDSK has completed, but vista is still not start

I have a Compaq Presario CQ60

Thank you

Hello

Method 1:
Try to disconnect all external devices (printers, scanner, USB (universal serial bus) drives, etc...) Except the keyboard and mouse and then start.


Method 2:
I also suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.
If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.
a. Insert the installation disc.
b. restart your computer.
Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart.
c. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
Note: If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
e. click on repair your computer.
f. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
g. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair

  • HP 251-a123w: I have a Setup dual monitor using VGA and DVI - D ports?

    I want to connect my HP 22uh monitor to my office using a DVI - D to DVI - D configuration.  Then I would like to complete a Setup dual monitor by connecting an Acer X193w monitor to my office using a VGA VGA configuration.

    Is this possible?  Two ports on my desktop computer can be used at the same time to support dual monitor?

    I see that the cables double monitor are in the form of Y and I thought that maybe a single port may be used simultaneously.  If someone knew this information then it would save some time & money on experimentation...

    Monitor HP 22uh was bundled with my new desktop PC and I cleaned the Acer to my now deceased Vista system.  It is in very good condition, would like to add.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I read your post about the use of the video taken two DVI and VGA and wanted to help.

    According to the technical specifications of HP for your PC, both of these jacks can be used at the same time.

    Good luck

  • Do I need a dedicated video card to run a Setup dual monitor with HP 700-327c?

    Recently replaced an old HP Desktop with the envy of 700 running Windows 7 Professional.

    Old facility had a Setup to dual monitor with a video card that had two monitors - one HDMI and a DVI connectors.  The standard connectors on the old PC were VGA and DVI, but both have been capped to prevent use.

    I wanted to set up monitors on this new PC to do the same thing and wanted to know if a video card with the two input connectors dedicated was the best set-up or simply use a mute adapter for VGA or DVI on the new PC ports.  The new PC has two video connectors standard - one VGA and one DVI currently.

    FYI: Using an Intel i7-4770 with 16 GB of RAM and a video card using an Intel HD Graphics 4600.

    An update as promised - not a problem - used another cord with the right connector and setting up monitors using Windows device settings and they work perfectly.  No need for a separate or higher video card as I am not in the game application for video features.  Thanks BH.

  • I tried to open a shortcut with Notepad and now each shortcut on the computer opens with Notepad and it's all over!

    So I need to edit this batch file, and I right-click on it to open it with something else. I found (which, it's logical!) particular option was not there.

    I created a shortcut for this, in the hope that the option within this drop-down list, which he was. I chose Notepad, then BAM. Every single shortcut on the computer

    opens with Notepad. I tried to click 'open with a default program', but who has just missed even more. But wait, it's even worse! Now my internet it is fucked up.

    Whenever I open it with its program file, it just opens upward from the downloads page; for Chrome and explore. I can't make a new log in because I gave a flash drive large enough to hold all the files that I need and I just need to stay on this one. Please help soon

  • Why goolgeearth does not work with Chrome and Safari but not Firefox

    When in firefox using Google maps and click on "EARTH", I get a window indicating that, to use the 3D, I have to install 21.0 Google Earth plugin with option click on 'Download '. Note: Firefox 21.0 and MAC OS 10.7.5 have all current software updates installed. Safari and Chrome are asking not for any plug-ins and 3D Earth option works very well. ANY HELP?

    PS my MAC has an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed, but my MAC, Safari, and Chrome work fine.

    Google Earth requires a graphic that comes pre-installed with Chrome and Safari plug-in. If Google Earth works on other browsers, install the Firefox plug-in is the solution. To install this on Firefox, download it from the prompt window, or go to https://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html.

  • Is anyone able to run Adobe CS5 with El Capitan now? I've read about problems with Illustrator and photoshop, but these seem to be in 2015 Octobe5. She improved at all? I need to upgrade that I am running an old OS v but I need to run CS5.

    I've read about problems with Illustrator and photoshop on EL Capitan, but these seem to be in October 2015. She improved at all? I need to upgrade that I am running an old OS v but I need to run CS5. Can not afford to go to CC. I have a Macbook Pro.

    CS5 and 10.11 are not supported and will never be supported by Adobe or Apple.

    However it works for some, more actually, but not all. There are sporadic problems with Illustrator, Photoshop seems to be the best. Do not expect an improvement and keep in mind that anyone from Adobe, Apple or anywhere else will fix it.

    Do a clean install

  • Printing problems with XP and Lexmark-documents are just stuck in the print queue

    Original title: printing problems with XP and Lexmark

    Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a Lexmark Printer series 3500-4500 with wireless capabilities.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

    I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

    It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

    Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
    Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
    Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
    Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

    To avoid this problem in the future, you must configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

    Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.

    Before you try to install Windows XP to create a new partition.
    Then boot from the XP CD and install it. After that, you must restore the bootloader of Windows Vista using EasyBCD, for example.

  • XP Pro\XP Setup dual boot - want to remove the configuration option and go straight to the Pro

    Used my laptop (Fujitsu Simens Amilo Pi 1505/XP Pro) to install XP Home on a USB connected the SATA drive.
    SFSG.
    Now, my laptop keeps asking me if I want to boot into either Pro or Setup, with the installer has highlighted.

    Q. How can I remove the Configuration option and leave Pro as default boot?

    Thanks in advance.

    Open your boot.ini file (root partition C :), you should see something like the following:)

    [boot loader]
    timeout = 30
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Windows XP "/ fastdetect
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Setup "/ fastdetect

    Remove the entry (the entire line) that has the word "Setup" in it, then you now have the following text:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 0
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Windowq XP "/ fastdetect

    -Alternative-

    Start/Run/msconfig (this open the System Configuration utility.
    Select the BOOT. INI tab
    Click on the button "check all boot paths".

    If Msconfig detects a path not valid (you have stated that you have two)
    you will be asked to remove the invalid path.

  • I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc. Then tried to open saved files with IE and started acting weird.

    zip files

    I used the backup and restore of the backup C on pc.  Then tried to open the files saved with IE.  IE went into free fall.  ???

    I have no idea what opened the backup files when you have double-clicked, or if you will not quote you took after doing this...  However, the official way to 'Browse' the content of the backup...

    You can view the contents of your backup by opening the wizard to restore files.

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance and then click Backup and restore.

    2. Do one of the following:

      • To view your files, click Restore my files.

      • To display files all the, click on restore files for all users. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Do one of the following:

      • To browse the contents of the backup, click Browse for files or click Browse for folders.

        When you browse folders, you will not be able to see the files in a folder. To view individual files, use her browse for files option.

      • To search the contents of the backup, click search, type all or part of a file name, and then click search.

    If you back up to the top PC (VHD) integer then you mifght consider this trick:
    http://www.Petri.co.il/mounting-Vista-backups-using-Windows-complete-PC-Backup.htm

    According to the edition of Windows Vista that you have (and how useful, you will find the possibility to look at old versions of a given file and possibly restore), this could be useful to you:
    http://www.ShadowExplorer.com/
    (not a replacement of relief.)

    With regard to the rate of success vs. failure rate of backup - it is difficult to measure.  Indeed most of the people backs up incorrectly.  It's really * not * enough to set a backup and forget about it.  If you test ever that your backups work/glance to see if you are backing up the good thing - it's just not wise.  Although most people expect that it is essential that the backups were working properly (not a test, a real emergency) to be discovered.  Most individuals who report failures, unfortunately, fall into this category "when my aircraft crashed and I went to my backups - it turns out _ backup _ does not and never told me...» ».

    A question... If you manually create a ZIP file (not a backup) - can you still Explorer in it as a folder?

    To test... Create a folder on your desktop.  Copy some files into it - of different types.  I say COPY and not MOVE on the goal here - because you can just blow this folder and all that results from this folder later if it was all fair copies of things.

    Make a right click on this folder and choose "send to" and "compress (ZIP) file and give a name to the new 'folder '.  (It's really a file.)  On your desktop, you should have the original folder you created and copied some stuff in, and a new "folder" with the name you just gave.  If you open the 'new' folder - you should see the name of the folder that is still on the desktop and go to this folder, you should see the files.  You literally use Windows Vista to the 'discovery' inside a ZIP file as if it were a folder.
