UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, no. installation CD, can not enter because of the deceased keyboard key product key

And here's one for you, geniuses:

I have a ten years Acer Travelmate 220, which, after many years of reliable service (reasonably), now becomes the message UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME. I've searched high and low, but can't find the original CD for Windows XP installation. I said I can borrow a CD from a family member or a friend and use it to restart, as I have a product key on the back of the laptop.

My problem is, my product key contains the letter 'K' and that, unfortunately, does not work the key 'k' on the machine. So, even if I borrow a CD of installation of family or friends, I would not be able to enter the particular computer.

Is it possible to recover the machine ? Or am I'm hunting a lost cause?

  • Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll

    I accidently deleted the ekecioctl.dll and now whenever I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll. Anyone know where I can download the dll?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
    Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.

    Another clue; have you tried to restore the operating system to the early time point?
    XP supports the System Restore tool. You can easily put the BONE at an early stage and the E key should work again I hope ;)

  • Satellite Pro U400-13O: can not enter TrueSuite without the fingerprint

    After having downgraded to WinXP
    I deferred to configure my fingerprints.

    On one occasion, I agreed to store a password in TrueSuite.
    Now I can't enter TrueSuite more because the software waits to read my fingerprints for the purpose of verification of the user - it is not yet registered.

    There is no possibility to enter my password user or such.

    What can I do - just uninstall/reinstall the program?

    Can I reinstall the program from the CD to downgrade, or would it reinstall the system?

    Hello

    Usually, you can also use the passwords stored in the logo of the OS.
    If you don t want to use fingerprint authentication, but prefer to use the press focused on the keyboard system BACK SPACE key when the screen of fingerprint authentication system startup is displayed. This allows to switch the password entry to the basic one keyboard screen.

  • Can not enter text with the keyboard

    We can type in any other application on the computer, but not Firefox. If Firefox is active, keyboard shortcuts do not work. He does not type them into the awesome bar, and we tried 4 different sites with Forms. None of them register typing. We even tried the touch keyboard. It also works in any application, we're trying, but NOT with Firefox. However, the mouse controls work, which is how this information has been entered.

    We use Firefox for our SMEs. It is convenient to have all the saved passwords in a browser. But today, we have to find or reset each of them, although we use another browser until this issue can be cleared.

    Using a Dell laoptop running, updated to Win 8.1 and the latest version of Firefox available for update. Anything that can be updated, has been done.
    Any suggestions?

    He allowed the restart of the computer. It seems to have been connected with recent updates.

  • Can not enter wildcard (*) in the file selection dialog box when opening a file

    It's something I've not seen before. I posted this question in the forum Autodesk AutoCad LT five days ago, but I got no answer at all. Because I'm not sure whether it is a Windows or a problem with Autocad, I thought I'll try to post here, too.

    On one of our AutoCad workstations, when you open a drawing, we cannot enter a wildcard character (*) in the file selection dialog box to help unravel the drawings.

    In other words, say there are 10 versions of a drawing with the number 5008. I should be able to enter the 5008 * and just see these ten designs. On this computer, when I try to type an asterisk (*), I get this error message: invalid character. The following characters are not allowed in file names: \ /: *? "<>

    Now, I know that they are not allowed... but I don't mean to create a file name. I'm just trying to classify them. On our other RTE Autocad workstations, the wildcard character works fine.  What's up with this one? Y at - it a setting or a variable that controls this?

    Thanks - Kevin

    Hello

    ·         The problem occurs with any other application?

    It may be some setting in Auto CAD, which raises the question, and its best you seek help from experts in DAO automatic.

    I tried every combination of buttons, I can think.
    Is there a way to delete this feature again without disassembling?
    Existing windows are not the original, so no toshiba software is installed.
