Updating of Windows 8 failed and remove recovery image

I have an Asus S400c PC that I bought 4 months ago in the Microsoft store. I was getting blue screen crashes to 2 x a day for a week, then all of a sudden today my computer kept crashing. It might fall down, go on the blue screen, reboot, then after 2 minutes to hang again. The error I received was different each time.

In the end, I decided that I would just reset to factory settings.  I pressed F9 and selected the full erase. 64% update failed, and it took me back to the F9 menu, so I tried again and this resulted in exactly the same thing. Then I went to advanced options for select manually the image of HARD drive recovery and he said that there is no image on my computer. So now it is said whenever I start up the computer from auto repair that breaks down after 1 minute and then gives me 2 options: 1) stop 2) go to advanced options.
My laptop is not an optical drive, so I do not have the CD of Windows 8 so how I re - install windows 8? I thought they let an image on the HARD drive that you could use for the flash. I don't know what to do.

Hello

a. repair your computer, select the troubleshooting option and select Advanced options.

b. you can choose the command prompt.
c. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER
chkdsk /f /r X:(lettre dele de lecteur)
d. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.
e. restart the computer.
 
Note: when you run the disk check, there is a risk of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.
 
Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.
 
 
 
Method 2:
 
You can download the. ISO of Windows 8 file on another computer, copy the files to a 3-4 GB USB key and insert it into the computer for repair/re-install.

  • Message boot fail and OS recovery, HP Support Assistant updates fail to install

    Product has 10, 64-bit windows.

    Before that I got the operating system, when the wizard of Support HP told me that there are updates for my laptop, the updates worked OK.

    Laptop suffered a spontaneous failure to start.

    The only solution I could find was to restore the operating system from the recovery partition.

    However, since I restored the operating system, the HP Support Assistant always warns me that there are updates for my laptop.

    However, after recovering OS when they download, updates now always failed. There is no error code.

    HP Support assistant, then returns to tell me there is an important update - of course, this is the same update that has failed, and Yes, I tried several times, each time with the same result.

    I never had this problem with Linux.

    GRRRRRRRR!

    I'm done contact HP Support. They gave me with a link to download the update manually. I still have to do that.

    If this does not work, I'll come back to them.

  • I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

    Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

    You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

    Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
       http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

    [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

    =============================
    * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

  • HP pavilion 15 laptop: update for Windows 10 laptop has removed Bluetooth?

    Product number: F4T58EA #ABU

    After that I updated my windows 8.1 to windows 10 laptop remove bluetooth.

    There is no option in the settings to enable or disable. Nothing to do with bluetooth has completely disapperaed.

    I looked through device controller speaker, but there wasn't anything that had name bluetooths. I also looked through the computer management services and found two bluetooth, Bluetooth Handsfree and service support of Bluetooth services. they were both the value of manual start and weren't running. I started them and implement autostart. It makes no changes to the problem though.

    I think the problem is my bluetooth drivers are outdated and maybe I just need to reinstall drivers. But I don't know what my bluetooth card is. Update of drivers for other hardware has solved one problem with my PC after windows 10 updated.

    It's just the Windows bluetooth service.

    Each PC has this programming if it has bluetooth or not.

    Al, I can tell you, it's that your laptop has never come with BT

  • Cannot install updates for WIndows - error 80070490 and installation disc?

    original title: error 80070490 and installation disc?

    Dell, Vista, x 64 laptop.

    I can not install updates, including Service Pack 2 and IE 8. I managed to fix the other error messages, but this one is a winner.

    I can't follow the steps here because I don't have an installation DVD. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and did not come with a disc because everything was preinstalled. Even if I had a disc, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD-ROM external drive when it is plugged in (a problem at a time!), so it would always help. "The System Update tool does not work on this machine, probably because of that pesky little" compatible operating systems: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 "requirement. I so need SP2 to download the tool which will allow my computer to install SP2? Nice little catch-22 there. I agree with the irony. I disagree with not being able to install updates at all, ever.

    Is it possible to re - install without a disk? Can I solve this problem at all or I'll have to take the laptop to Best Buy and ask them to do some voodoo Geek Squad to it?

    Check if your computer has a recovery partition.
    If the computer has a recovery partition, use the recovery partition to restore the computer to factory settings.
    Note:   All programs and data will be lost.  You can make a backup of all important data and reinstall programs.
