• Cannot load Windows (Vista-Sony Vaio VGN-NS110E)

  So I bought this computer off a friend for $50, knowing very well the problems she experienced. No im hoping I can get some help and do this thing running.

  When I start the computer, I get a screen that says...

  "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  I have two options below...

  Start the reboot system (recommended) - Insert windows instilation disk and restart... Well I don't have the instillation disk

  Start windows normally - goes to loading with green bars screen and handle everyday if I let him

  I downloaded this (iso 120Mo thing) vista recovery disk and he put in the computer and ran the startup of many times repair... 20 times or more.  the only thing I get is "system on the disk volume is damaged." it dosent have one

  When I boot computer and press f8, I get a screen with many options... I can't load the safe mode, safe mode with networking, or safe mode with command prompt and any of the other options seem to give results.

  When I start the computer and press f10, I get a disk read error occurred press Ctrl-alt-del to restart (done nothing doin it just stay on the same screen)

  When I boot the computer and press f2 it evokes the thing of the bios I think and he tell me that I HAVE a HD 250 GB installed in the computer (which seems really odd because when in the Startup Repair and I click on the button "LOAD DRIVERS" I am able to look through the hd and see all the old files left there by my friend BUT HE DOES WATCH THE HD FOR) BE a 140 GB HD?)

  THINGS OF IMPORTANCE MAY BE:

  He mentioned something about someone who replace the hd for him goin for the smallest 140 now 250 gb hd... but it seems strange that the computer is tell me 2 things different in 2 different places (250 GB in bios f2 thing) (140 in the button drivers load the Startup Repair tool) and MI is still able to browse the folders on the hard drive

  his display I have 3 drives c:local disk (140 gb) e:recovery(8.89gb) x: start (33.6 MB)

  loading safe mode it gets stuck on this file crcdisk.sys for awhile and then just restarts the computer

  IF THERES NOTHING ELSE I CAN SAY YOU OR I CAN TRY THINGS PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK... REALLY WANT THIS COMPUTER

  EDIT-I TRIED ALSO REINSTALL IT WINDOWS OPTION AND ASKED ME TO ENTER THE PRODUCT KEY I DID USING THE LABEL ON THE BACK OF THE COMPUTER SIAD INVALID PRODUCT KEY AND IT AND I CHECK AND RECHECK IT SOME TIME... IT WAS JUST BUT NOT RETURN INSTALL ME WINDOWS AGAIN? //?????

  MODIFIERMODIFIER - DISBLED REBOOT FAILUER - HAD A BLUE SCREEN WITH A FEW _ ON THAT 'PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED' AND THEN IT INSIDE "* STOP: 0Z0000006B (0XC0000102, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

  UNRESPONSIVE WORTH... FOUND A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL ON MY HD MANUFACTURERS SITE. IT SORTA UNDERSTOOD WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW

  NO. DRIVE FOUND ERROR/STATUS CODE: 0120

  WHILE THEY INSPECTED THE SITE FACTORY AGAINST THIS CODE... I GOT THIS...

  An unknown error occurred during testing. This may be an anomaly. Check the connections and repeat the test. If the error repeats, replace the drive.

  HE RAN 6 TIMES WITH THE SAME RUSULT... SAME ERROR CODE

  I HOPE THAT MY FRIEND KEPT HIS RECIPT FOR THIS DRIVE... AS LONG AS ITS ONLY BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE (FEB.8.2010 SHOULD OPEN UP TO KNOW WHICH DRIVE A LITTLE IT WAS :)) SO I IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT WAS SOLD WHAT TO THINK OF THE DAY, IT SHOULD STILL BE UNDER SOME SORT OF WARRANTY ID)

• Operating system not found - Windows 7, Sony VAIO

  When I start my laptop, it gives the error operating system not found. I have a repair disc, a recovery disk and also a backup system image. I am able to do nothing, as the laptop does not go past this message. In the past, I used to get this error once or twice daily, but when I re-set with Ctrl + Alt + Delete, the system would begin. No critical errors were found in the Eventlogger. How to start the repair process?

  Hi vasanjs,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are met:

  (a) basic input/output system (BIOS) does not detect the hard drive.

  (b) the hard disk is damaged.

  (c) sector 0 of the physical disk has an incorrect or malformed master boot (MBR) record.

  Note  Some third-party programs or alteration of the disk can damage an MBR.

  (d) an incompatible partition is marked as Active.

  (e) a partition which contains the MBR is no longer active.

  Method 1

  I suggest you update brings input/output system (BIOS) to the latest version by contacting the manufacturer of your motherboard or computer and check if it works.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  BIOS: Frequently asked questions

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you perform repair system on the computer and check if it works.

  Step 4: To restore your PC to an earlier point in time

  1. Enter in the right edge of the screen and then click on Search.
     (If you use a mouse, point to the upper right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then click Search).

  2. Enter the Control Panel in the start search box and press or click on Control Panel.

  3. Enter the collection in the control panel search box, and then tap or click recovery.

  4. Press or click open system restore, and then follow the instructions.

• Computer problems - Windows XP Service Pack 1

  My computer has been equipmented with Windows XP Service Pack 1.  I was told to upgrade to Service Pack 2.  Now I don't see shortcuts or my taskbar on my desk.  How can I fix it?

  If you're still under WinXP SP1, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed or be fully patched to Windows Update. See...

  Cleaning a compromised system
       http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspx

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled.

• Windows 7 / Sony Vaio random gel

  my computer crashes randomly (screen upward, the fan spins, no keyboard or mouse control) when I press ctrl-alt-delete the fan slows down then that depressed and accelerates when released. It is the only answer that power forced down by holding down the button works / stop. It happens randomly while I'm watching a Blu ray or rest, with no program running (other than the substantive programmes) and everything in between. I got the Sony Tech Watch but no help... ideas?

  Such things can be difficult to locate. Can be a number of causes of software corrupt to overheating or failing hardware.

  Somethings to try:

  1. Are there reports of errors in the event log that coincide with the gel, which can give clues?
  2. Try a scan for malware with free malwarebytes. (Download, install, update and run a full scan).
  3. Run a SFC/scannow to check some critical files of the OS.
  4. Run a disk error check
  5. Update your drivers for your system, esp the video, sound and if there are any blue-ray player. Check with the Sony for your PC since the last site available that they support.
  6. Do in a safe mode start or a clean boot (as a test)? Don't forget to return to normal operation after the test.
  7. See if Sony provides a way to check the operating temperature of the PC to see if its possibly overheating or a fan is malfunctioning. If they don't then consider using one of the many choices available as one of this batch maybe http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=pc+temperature&searchtype=downloads NOTE: I have not tried so can't recommend one or the other.

  However, I guess Sony experts will be suggested some or all these. If they have not, then give them a try.
