Unable to load Windows XP

When I try to start my computer, it loads dell bios, then check the hard drive, then charge some sort of post two treatment or something like that. Then immediately after that I hear a click closed from inside the Tower then restarts the process again. Now I have to type this because my boyfriends computer has this problem.

Windows XP SP3 Dell Dimension E510

Running test extended inside the boot to the utility partition. Any ideas or suggestions? Or if you would like more information.

ASAP PLEASE!

  • Unable to load Windows XP? Help!

    I am trying to load Windows XP on my laptop Compaq A900.  On the screen that list partitioned and existing space on this computer, it says 'Unknown disc ' there is no nothing if I say I want to create a partition and if I hit enter says a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  Is the error code comes up with is 0x0000008E.  I tried several times and it keeps coming back.  Help, please! Thank you

    I don't know where you see it. Most laptops come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

    Looks like you are trying to do the recovery or the Windows installation and that won't work.

  • Unable to load Windows 7 on Satellite C850D

    I bought this C850D of the Satellite in May this year and was Win 8 pre-loaded. My son does not so I decided finally to remove it and load Win 7. I took the hard drive out and formatting and repartioned the hard drive, but when I went back and tried to load Win 7 I get problems.

    Initially I couldn't get anything to work then v = changed the parameters of the UEFI BIOS to boot but now I get continually
    Media error pxe - e61 test failure, check cable of
    PXE - m0f exiting pxe rom
    Restart, and then select the appropriate boot device

    I have removed the ability to network with no luck because the hard drive is located in the BIOS settings and tried to change the boot order

    I tried to boot from USB, CD/DVD and also loading direct to hard but nothing... and says now is that no operating system.

    Is there a solution?

    Please help as I got to a point to throw the laptop against the wall haha

    Hello

    You have defined the to the CSM UEFI boot mode. It's a good point, but you forgot to turn off the secure boot option that is also part of the BIOS settings.

    Secure boot prevents booting from other sources and therefore, you are not able to boot from the CD/DVD or USB memory stick drive.

    So turn off the secure startup, and then try again.

  • MSG for error in Windows 7: "unable to load DLL 'Gpib - 32.dll': the specified module could not be found."

    Hi people, I have a project in VB. NET (VS2010 specifically), which has been updated from an old VB6 project. The old project

    use Niglobal.bas and Vbib - 32.bas to communicate with the GPIB plugged into one of our litters.
    Now in the 64-bit Win7 with the Niglobal.bas and the Vbib - 32.bas converted to Niglobal.vb and Vbib - 32.vb,.

    I get an error when debugging to

    Public void RegisterGPIBGlobals()

    in the Vbib - 32.vb, the error msg says:

    Unable to load DLL 'Gpib - 32.dll': the specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

    It seems like this Gpib - 32.dll, that I found under SysWOW64 on my Win7 is not designed for a 64-bit application and when I copy this dll file on

    C:\Windows\System32, the msg of error becomes:

    An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)

    So I think my question is double: 1. the drafting of my own app in VB. NET can I still use Gpib - 32.dll (including the Niglobal.vb and Vbib - 32.vb)?

    2 Will the application I am writing with .NET work in x 64 Windows 7?

    The Almighty gurus and Mods please help. Thank you!

    Hi Joel, thanks for the answer! I have the 3.0.2 driver.

    I was looking around for a while after I posted here and further in the use of NI4882 manual, page 4-4, I found this:

    «To bring an application in an environment 64-bit requires the application to migrate the NI4882 API and be recompiled.»

    So I'm ditching the gpib - 32.dll (vbib - 32 & niglobal) and currently I am using NI4882.dll and restructuring of my project.

  • Got the error saying that unable to start Windows. Now, it freezes after loading Windows.

    Original title: Windows Recovery Error Question

    Earlier I was looking at my computer, running a virus because my computer scan playing strange earlier. Every time I start Windows, I would be spammed with windows titles 'open with... '. ». I managed to open the Task Manager and get rid of all of them, but my computer shifted significantly again. Whenever I close it and restart the same thing would happen. I opened my virus scanner and started running it. Of course, he had a virus.

    As I was waiting for the analysis at the end, my computer suddenly closed and restarted without any warning at all. It froze on the splash screen. To stop and restart my computer again, I received a message that says:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. If Windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem. If the power was interrupted during startup, choose Start Windows normally. »

    I was given two options: Launch Startup Repair (recommended) and start Windows normally. When I select the Startup Repair tool, I am taken to a screen with a loading bar that says "Windows is loading files... ». After loading, the screen would freeze. If I try the other option, I am taken to the splash screen and it would freeze.

    Is it possible to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    There is no free and legal Vista download

    Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • Error message: unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible

    I know that others have had this problem but none of the validated answers turned out to be viable. When I try to start Firefox, the browser does not open and I see the following message appears: "unable to load your Firefox profile. It may be missing or inaccessible. "I am running Windows 8.1.

    It's what happened leading up to this problem. I was passing through normally when I received a pop up message that says a threat has been detected, and Mozilla had a security patch that I have to download. This is the expedition of phishing malware believer, I closed the browser and restart the computer without having to download anything. When I restarted the computer, everything was normal and I googled for information on what had just happened, to see if I really needed a security patch. A forum suggested that I already have a virus/malware that caused the popup, and that I should deal with the possibility that updating Firefox. Then I refreshed Firefox, which seemed harmless enough. The update took the time, so I finally closed the window to refresh. Maybe I should let the window update but it was taken way too long - after that it's my problem to start with the error message.

    Since then, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I also deleted the profile folder in the hope that it would force the creation of a new folder. Nothing has worked. Someone has suggestions for Firefox run again?

    Thank you!

    Hi jbspear, please press the windows key + r and open: %APPDATA%\protector.exe

    The Mozilla FF page loads, but no site that is open in FF. I checked the Proxy box, I disabled my Windows Firewall. There is a firewall for my Norton, but which has been there since day 1. One day, I do all my things FF without problem; the next morning I turn the computer on & nothing in FF will work. That is to say works well. AOL works fine if my internet connection is not the problem. This is the message that I get any site I try to open (I also copied the text of troubleshooting below this): thanks for any help - it's really driving me crazy!

    Unable to connect
    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server www.aol.com.

       The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
       If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
       If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
