Unable to boot after Windows 7 update

Product: HP Compaq 6000 Pro format microtour

OS: Windows 7 (not sure 32 or 64-bit)

I installed about 15 Windows updates last week, some of them is critical, then restarted and the computer was fine. This morning my computer was slow, so I restarted, and now I can't start. He keeps go to boot menu options. I tried...

-Safe Mode

-Mode low resolution

-Last good known Configuration Mode

All of these options to the same start menu cycle.

HP Startup Repair finds problems with the disc, says he corrects, finishes, but doesn't change anything. Back the same start menu.

I tried removing battery from motherboard and BIOS restore to factory settings - or solved the problem.

Finally, tried to restart from the disc installation, but apparently for HP there is only the option to restore the default settings (erase all data) and no possibility to repair or return to an earlier date. I really, really, want to lose data if possible.

Any ideas?

RESOLVED: Ran Startup Repair, but this time took so I could look at the newspaper.

Root cause found: System on the disk volume is damaged.
Repair action: file system repair
Result: Completed successfully.

Yes!

Still, would be nice to know if it can be avoided in the future.

  • Unable to boot after Windows update

    Hello

    As is strives to update windows today, I wasn't expecting to lock up my computer, but now I am facing blue screen of death at every start. The Startup Repair tool is not help... So for now, the only option I see is to reformat my C drive?

    It was really unexpected, that I was a bit installing optional updates in windows (mainly the drivers I think for the fingerprint reader, graphics...) when my pc crashed. I hope to recover some of the files on my desktop before reformatting.

    So I don't expect too much help here because I can do basically anything that even the startup repair does not work. But I wonder, is there some windows updates that are to be avoided? I'd only like to know this only screwed to the top of my pc. I'm runnign the w520 on windows 7btw.

    Thank you!!

    Hello Peter, thanks for your response. I could back up my files on my C drive using a DOS command prompt and then restored a system image of a few months ago.

  • Unable to boot after Windows logo

    original title: My Vista Basic Edition open habit. As soon as Microsoft logo lights, my computer gives a Windows error message.

    Before my computer crashed, he was downloading 12 'important' files from microsoft. When it restarted, it began to open with the logo of compaq, then, the windows logo, then I get a "Windows error" message.  He said that I should reinstall Windows disk.  My computer came with a preinstalled on vista. I used the recovery disc that I bought from HP to restart the computer. I made sure the start setting would be on the CD mode first (from the site of Bios). When I tried to reboot, it would have read always not the recovery disc. I got some tips on this Web site about what to do, and he said to recreate a Windows recovery disk. I did as instructed, and yet with this new disc, my computer won't get past stage logo before a loop is executed by restarting itself. I can't get into safe mode, I can enter the BIOS mode, but clicking on reset default (f9) does not solve the system. It says there's something load in my computer - I can't fix because I can't past the point of the loop. can you help me please?

    Restart your computer and press the F8 key until you reach the Advanced Startup Menu of Options. Select Safe Mode and System Restore. If the problem persists, restart the computer and press the F8 key. When you reach the menu Advanced Startup Options select turn off automatic error system reboot. Restart the computer normally and post the error here.

  • Blue screen after windows xp update...

    I got the blue screen now well documented after windows xp update. I'm away on business and so unable to make my records at home. My question is without the disk is there a way I can fix it the laptop? Microsoft took 3 days to order discs and now tell me it might take 7 to 10 days so that they arrive. Not really customer service.

    Anyone has any ideas, is there something that you can download? or is there a fix on the Web site?

    Thank you

  • I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true?

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.

    Hello
    I hope someone can help me. I am unable to boot into windows vista 32-bit, so I downloaded the vista recovery disk and get an oxo error code what it means (thanks in advance)?

    You don't give any info on what was the original problem with the computer.

    You have set the Bios Setup to boot from the CD/DVD drive?

    At startup, it will say press F2 or delete key to go into Bios/Setup, or maybe F12 to go to the Start Menu.

    And have you tried also to tap F8 at startup and choose Safe Mode from the list of Boot Options?

    Use up arrow key to do this, press on enter.

  • Unable to connect after the automatic updates of Windows.

    I have two computers on my network, one with 7 and one with vista.  (US) both for automatic Windows update and yesterday, after both received updates, I couldn't go online.  Restored both and that solved.  Today it's the same thing.  I restored both and Windows updated together on manual.  Problem is I want to install updates, but you need to know what is happening.   Thank you

    Many other people have the same problem after the recent update of Win7.  A thread said that the culprit is update KB2705219 and you'll be OK if remove you it.  There is no other additional information that the user in question has done so successfully [I can't find the link, I checked both of these threads today].

    I have not tried to uninstall it I like my PC to install with a decent connection the last hours [no idea why].  I also have McAfee.

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    In addition, you should never uninstall McAfee or any other AV application unless you have a copy of the relevant utility uninstall application.  Results to omit this step can be severe and cause quite disconcerting & apparently unrelated symptoms.  I do not recommend this as a step for the problem today, but keep this link for when / if you decide to replace McAfee - McAfee Consumer products removal tool.  For other AV applications, see list of anti-malware cleaning - program uninstall tools

  • Some keys no longer work on Satellite A200-196 after Windows 7 update

    Hi all, I've just upgraded computer laptop of my partner (a Toshiba Satellite A200-196) to Windows 7 after you initially install Windows XP on it (it came with Vista).

    After the XP update, I noticed that some keys were not working. I don't remember the process that I used to solve the problem, but the difficulty that I did, and they were all soon works perfectly. So this is a software problem and not material. I think he might have something to do with the FN key - but I can't be sure.

    Now, I just upgraded the same machine and I have exactly the same problem. Keys that don't work are Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L.

    Can anyone help please? I tried to reinstall Win7 and the problem is still there.

    Thank you very much

    Andy

    > The keys that don't work are Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L.

    These keys have nothing to do with the missing software.
    Indeed, the function key (FN key) needs a Toshiba utility particular installation / software to make it work, but the keys Backspace, O, P, F, H, K and L are common keys on the keyboard that don t need no special software.

    That's why I think that the problem is hardware related: simple keyboard malfunction.
    I guess that all of these keys work correctly if you sign in and use the external USB keyboard.

  • Reinstall the original software after Windows 10 update

    When I bought my HPE-180 t, it came with Adobe products already installed as part of the package I bought.  After the Windows 10 update, it became necessary to reinstall Adobe first Elements 8 and she asks a code that did not come with disks. What should I do?

    Windows 10 normally do that unless the application is too old.  Adobe Elements 8 first seems to be 2009, well before 10 Windows.  You may need to get a newer version.

Back to the old date of updates again just works now. Nearby, he installed the updates and restart the laptop works again nothing and the appers fault even once.
