• Equium A300D-13 X - no operating system found

  Hello

  My computer laptop girls has stopped working. I can't seem to repair/restore or anything. He always keesp to return to 'No operating system found' so what I need to know is what download anyone advise would be more appropriate for me to re install to laptop?

  The laptop is a Toshiba Equium A300D-13 X. It was running with Vista that was on it when buying 3 years ago but now no OS found.

  I hope you can help as tried all other options via F8, F12, F2 etc. don't keep a copy of the recovery disc either and only came with a recovery disk directly.

  Hi helen22,

  First of all, you should check if the HARD drive is always recognized correctly. That's why look in the BIOS (F2) Setup and make sure that it s listed there.

  If the HARD drive is recognized that you need to reinstall Windows. So you need the disk recovery Toshiba you had to create it yourself and that's the reason why the laptop didn't come with a recovery disk because you will have to do it yourself.

  In any case, now it s too late, but you can order a new disc here:

  Since 2007, I have packard bell computer pc laptop. He came with a recovery or a bootable disc, but the genuine license is stuck under the machine. After System Restore today and a computer virus scan went to a reboot. But a black screen with the boot failure lights. I am unable to go to safemode, viaF8 or something else. He invites me to insert the recovery disk. What I can do besides take it to the seller. I have another laptop using windows vista can I create a recovery or startup disk that is compatible with this laptop. Waiting for your kind response

  NeoSmart is a very good drive to do a Startup Repair with.

  BUT it will not reinstall your operating system.

  For this, you need your computer manufacturer's recovery disks, or use a built-in recovery Partition.

  Read this info below:

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/contact_us.html

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Compaq 6530 b: no operating system found

  My apologies for my knowledge of basic computer skills. Right... So my laptop girlfriends was virtually bankrupt, if someone had a look for her and replaced windows with ubuntu. She asked me to see if I could give windows on as she did not like the new operating system.  So try to follow some instructions online that were probably too advanced for me I managed to remove the old operating system, but when I tried to install windows he had many other problems... My ISO Windows Me brings to the installation page, but when asked for the product key, it is said that the key is not valid. ISO I use is a windows ISO 10 from another computer, I have had a look on the internet for a windows vista ISO but can't seem to find a. What is the reason that my product key does not work? I cannot go into the start menu and when I try to boot from the CD I can enter here but boot CD won't let me do a reset. It's a laptop second hand, so it was not a boot with her CD.

  Thanks in advance to that whether you answer Please HELP ME!

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post regarding your installation of Windows problem and wanted to help.

  First - some background on the Win10 FREE offer.  This only applies when the two things are true.

  First of all, the machine should already have a copy installed and activated Windows and which must be Win7, Win8 or Win8.1.  It's an upgrade of Win10 and you get activated by the machine REUSING the existing license.  This is known by MC as digital right.

  Second, if you are installing a new disk, you must have a valid product key for Win7, Win8 or Win8.1, and the Win10 must be the version 1511, release 10586 - downloaded or created after November 2015.

  So basically, you can not intall Win10 and activate it using a Vista product key. period.

  Also, the keys listed in Win10 are the generic Installation keys.  And while they can be used to install Win10, they cannot be used to activate it.  He insists the key Win7, Win8 or Win8.1.

  You get the Win10 ISOs using the MS Media (MCT) tool: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

  The end result is to activate the Win10, you will need to purchase a license.  Sorry... that's how it is.

  Good luck

• Computer cannot start an operating system STOP error message: 0 x 00000024

  Origianal title: computer can not boot the operating system

  Appeared in my computer: STOP: 0 x 00000024 (0 X 00190203, 0X82F4D5D0, 0x00000000

  What is happen?

  Unfortunately, we know absolutely nothing about your system.

  This is because the MS Answers forum does not prompt for any information system when a new question is asked.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Method 1 - last good known Configuration will not help you (this is not what is LKGC for).
  Method 2 - a good start but only if you have already installed XP Recovery Console (extremely unlikely on this planet) or have a genuine XP installation CD bootable (most people don't).

  It makes sounds like you need to run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console to repair your (NTFS) file system, but you will have to start on something for this.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  Not knowing anything about your system, I would say this:

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

  If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and don't forget (no support for XP not necessary).

  This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

  You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

  The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

  xp_rec_con. ISO

  Download the ISO from here:

  http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

  Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

  http://www.ImgBurn.com/

  When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

• Cannot start the operating system

  Hi everyone, I've seen many similar scenarios. Not sure if mine is unique. I do not get a syntax error as others, and this was not due to the update of windows. Our suddenly stopped working.  I tried knocking PF12 w/out of the options for safe mode and couldn't get to a MSDOS command prompt I just get blank screen.  I have the CD to our computer that comes with it when we bought there are records of the operating system, but do not say recovery or restart the disk label so I didn't know if she would it reboot or rewrite it. All ideas and comments are greatly appreciated.

  Tell us the brand and model of the PC and what version of XP (Home, Pro, or MCE) runs as well as the Service Pack level.

  Do you have critical data on the backup computer?

  If this is not the case, press the "F8" key after the computer starts:

  6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.

  ____________________________________________________

  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

  Hello SteveO_1968,

  To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2. Press a key when you are prompted.
  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
  4. Click repair your computer.
  5. Click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
  6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.
  7. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

  Note To start the computer from the Windows Vista DVD, the computer must be configured to start from the DVD drive. For more information on the configuration of the computer to start from the DVD drive, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the computer manufacturer.

  Bootrec.exe options

  The Bootrec.exe tool supports the following options. Use the option that suits your situation.

  Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

  • bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
  • c:
  • Boot CD
  • BCD attrib s h - r
  • Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
  • Bootrec /RebuildBcd

  / FixMbr

  The /FixMbr option writes a MBR compatible Windows Vista on the system partition. This option does not overwrite the existing partition table. Use this option when you need to solve problems of corruption of MBR, or when you need to remove the non-standard code from the MBR.

  / FixBoot

  The /FixBoot option writes a new boot sector on the system partition by using a boot sector that is compatible with Windows Vista. Use this option if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The boot sector has been replaced by a non-standard Windows Vista boot sector.
  • The boot sector is damaged.
  • An earlier Windows operating system has been installed after the installation of Windows Vista. In this scenario, the computer starts by using Windows NT Loader (NTLDR) instead of Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe).

  / ScanOs

  The /ScanOs option scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows Vista. In addition, this option displays the entries that are currently not in the BCD store. Use this option when there are installations of Windows Vista which is not in the Boot Manager menu.

  / RebuildBcd

  The /RebuildBcd option scans all disks for installations that are compatible with Windows Vista. In addition, this option allows you to select the facilities you want to add to the BCD store. Use this option when you need to completely rebuild the BCD.
