Unable to restore the system, possible hard disk problems

I started to have a white screen on startup and could not go beyond the apple logo. I ran the recommended repairs but could not manage to detect the operating system if the recovery console could see everything fine. The console suggested a repair disk I ran, but it seems to fail and goes to a blank gray screen.

I pulled the drive and back up the contents of my PC and noticed them were three partitions showing in this regard. There was no problem of backup files as well so it seems that the drive is ok. After plugging it back in I tried internet recovery option and it only detects the HD recovery. I tried to erase disk02 but it does not work as well. I also use the restore option, but this also fails. I'm more used to the windows system restore and I'm not sure just what I might be missing.

I have attached the photos on what I see, so hopefully that will help.

Enter the Recovery > disk utility. Select 1 TB HD Apple ST *, and then click Delete. Then click the Partition tab use arrow on the "Current" bar and select 1 Partition. Below you see a + sign or Options and will make this is the Table of Partition GUID. You will be he title Macintosh HD and Mac OS extended (journaled) and then click on apply. Now, you'll see Macintosh HD instead of the disk 0 sec 2. Select Macintosh HD, and then click Delete. Now, you erase Macintosh HD. It should be GUID Partition Table Mac OS extended (journaled). You should be able to put it in to your Mac you install El Capitan. Hope this helps you.

Bravo!

    Note: CLIP.exe is in the System32 directory.

    Hi bigdome6984,

    If your machine acts as a Terminal Server, i.e. someone else connects to your computer using remote desktop, then rdpclip.exe will be loaded on your computer as part of the functionality of Server Terminal Server.

    RDSCLIP is loaded on the computer, allowing other machines to connect via Remote Desktop.

    It should be found at the following registry location:

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlset\Control\Terminal Server\Wds\rdpwd\StartupPrograms

    Important Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Hi Alexander,.

    There are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Also, if possible, back up the folder swsetup which lie at the root of the C drive.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

    Regarding the drivers etc, you must, if you were able to save the swsetup this will contain all the software installers and drivers for your laptop - if you were not able, drivers and software, you may need can be found here.

  • On startup, I get the following message: __Error C:\WINDOWS\cleamsat.dll the specified module is not found .__I am unable to restore the system to an earlier date and now everything is real slow loading.

    If anyone can help please let me know. I had a virus recently (antivir solution pro), which is now deleted. The message appeared from this point.

    It is easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem simply remove the startup message.
    I would recommend also you start to search in the register, unless you have a backup because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
    These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom, but may not actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.
    Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
    There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
    !, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
    A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
    It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
    Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
    So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
    If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
    If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
    Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
    Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
    You can use Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
    Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
    When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
    The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
    Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
    If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
    Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry
    .  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
    Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
    Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

    Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Unable to run the check disk due to having to restore the system

    When you start the system, it shows that disk needs the consistency check, but then it shows that the drive can be controlled due to the recent installation so system restore first. Although, when you try to restore the system, it is said there are disk errors that should check and may need repair in which it said restart your computer for this. When the computer is retsarted, it shows that the drive needs verification but still, says system needs to restore. So I can't run a check disk or restore the system. Help, please!

    Hi mustakimahmed,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. Looks like you are not able to start from desktop due to errors in the disk check and not able to perform the system restore too.

    Try these methods and check:

    Method 1: Run the check disk in windows recovery (winre) mode. Follow these steps:

    (a) open command prompt.

    (b) use the following procedures:

    To repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information, at the command prompt, type chkdsk volume: / r, and then press ENTER.

    Note: If one or more files on the hard disk are open, you will receive the following message is displayed: cannot run Chkdsk because the volume is in use by another process. You want to schedule this volume to check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

    Type Y, and then press ENTER to schedule the disk check, and then restart your computer to start the disk check.

    Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to fix this particular sector. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

    Method 2:

    If method 1 fails, because you are not able to perform the disk, or restoring the system check, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the hard drive to get help. As the drive that you are using may be corrupted.

    Hope this information helps. If you have any other questions feel free to respond and we would be happy to help.

    I am really enjoying my new HP HPE 270e Win 7 HP x 64 computer desktop, but for some reason, ESC, F-1, F-8, F - 10 and F - 11 key do not work properly and when restoring the system came out the other day I was forced to restart from Factory Image DVD who put me several weeks back and I was forced to start again set up my computer.

    Before all this happened, I saved an Image of the system 2 different external drives of 1 TB and a Win 7 system repair disc to use to retrieve the System Image, but my office of 270e HPE will not recognize the disc. Nor will it recognize the Macrium reflect Win 7 PE 2.1 "Rescue CD", which will get 2 more pictures system I saved. Even when Windows does not shut down properly, it is impossible to select options indicated to "Start Windows normally".

    According to the blue HP color screen, by pressing the ESC key will allow to the entry of 5.28 BIOS TRUCKEE 1.04E01 of the motherboard to enable the computer to boot from CD/DVD, but I'm currently not able to select ESC or any other option besides. I studied the 5.28 BIOS and it will allow booting from CD/DVD and I hope someone here can instruct me as to how this feature can be activated.

    I have a laptop HP with Vista and every time it starts, it offers access to the ESC and F key options, but just HPE 270e Office ignores this screen and sails right through startup in an average of 20 seconds. Even if I see a quick start that I would gladly seconds on the screen startup options if only I could find a way to enable.

    I appreciate any help with the activation of these startup options in my office of 270e HPE. I spent 5 hours talking to HP Technical Support and all the help they could offer said me "these options will be presented if you need. Well, the possibility of restoring a system from the system repair disc Image is intended for Win 7 did not appear, and I hope that I will be able to acquire knowledge of the implementation of this basic option in Windows 7 Home Premium.
