Verification of viruses on the laptop after Crash

My laptop broke down.  My sister was used and said that he was attacked by a virus.  Now I can get a white screen.  What should I do?
I want to run the free version of Microsoft Virus Checker from a USB to see if he has been hit by a virus and see if I can clean it up.  Is this possible.  I really need help, he had my pictures on it with no backup.  I think he fell down!  Can anyone help?

They will help you when repost you in Forum Vista security at the above address.

Data recovery:

1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

Download the Vista software from the link above.

After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

See you soon.

  • How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

    Hello everyone

    I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

    I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

    I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

    I would appreciate your help.

    Concerning

    Pedro

    When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

    Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

    For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

    Got a Probook 6450 b that crashed. don't burn the recovery disk so need to recovery disks. tried to order online, but the site does not deliver in my country of origin.

    How can I get preinstalled HP software back?

    Tell us about the hard drive crashed.  You can link it to your desktop and make a check disk on it? Which can make new bootable.  If you don't care the utility partition and recovery being installed (you really won't need if you download and make the disc), and then download it here (you might put in your key Microsoft 25-digit Windows 7 Pro code):

    Reference Dell it's a software problem, probably caused by the update as no other changes have been made to the laptop.  Before we pay for Dell support software means someone has suggestions?  All options on Googling guess you can enter Windows in at least secure Mode that we can not so I'm stuck!

  • What will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop after I swap HDD with SSD?

    Original title: replacement disk and windows.

    Hello guys.

    I am considering buying a new laptop. The model that I found and I like has a HARD drive if I want to replace it with the SSD to the format of my previous laptop. (Due to the low energy consumption, greater speed, etc.). So I have a 256 gb SSD in my previous loan of laptop replace new one HARD disk, yet what will happen with my agent and active Windows 8, I will have bought with the laptop?

    I can reinstall windows 8 on the SSD, but I don't have a key to activate their... How will I be able to get the key from previous series if the laptops will only work with a recovery partition these days here? I asked a guy in the store, I buy my laptop since and he told me that he does not know and I have to ask for help. However, to create a message of support I need a serial number of the model I did not because I have not yet bought a laptop, so I don't know what to do... I really don't want to stick with the HARD drive, but also I can't afford another model.

    Is it possible to do a recovery with my laptop disk when I get it, then replace the drive with my SSD and run the recovery disc I made?

    The laptop I want to buy is an Asus if that helps...

    Thanks in advance...

    The 'Raw' State is not necessary, it is the State of any drive (SSD drive or hard drive) would be in if you just remove a disk new in box and will need to be "initialized", since you have already used the player already initialized sound.

    Do not format the drive, rather than delete all existing partitions, (the SSD shows then as being "unallocated"). Now you are ready to restore the backup Image you created. During the restore process Acronis will recreate the partitions that were on the hard drive on your SSD.

  • Restore Windows 7 academic downloaded the upgrade after crash HD

    I had a HD crash. My 64-bit machine was running Windows 7 Ultimate, bought a school upgrade and downloaded. W7 disappeared after the crash. I had the legacy Vista installation to a different drive, but cannot see how to download the upgrade or recover activation key again. What's worse, I can't reinstall my Office 2010 (which was installed on a disk survivor after upgarding to W7 so no longer works) because the Setup program is unable to remove the existing version of Office 2010. Even the fixme utility cannot find Office 2010.  Any help gratefully received, any necessary information provided with happiness.

    Thank you

    J.

    First of all, you need get the product keys for Windows 7 Ultimate and Office 2010. They must have been sent by email you somewhere (with a bit of luck you have deleted emails).

    Then you should download Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit .iso and the correct version of Office 2010 that should be in my wiki Microsoft Downloads:
    This wiki should have full instructions to create media. My other wiki A Clean install of Windows 7:
    should be used as a base to install it, but some measures should be modified slightly if you use not a Dell computer, which is to get the drivers from the manufacturer's website is opposed to the Dell one and another key opposed to F12 may be used in a non - Dell PC.
  • Cannot close the game after crash

    Skyrim crashes on me and usually on Windows 7, you can bring the task to the top manager and force close. However, the game covers the screen, without giving in to display the Task Manager. It opens, but it is behind everything. You can still access the Metro interface, but it is not necessary for this situation.

    Even raise the command run and trying to force close does not work.

    Hi SonicHyuga,

    Also, if you go to the prior Task Manager when running it but above all questions then click on Options, always on top.

    This should help in trying to use the Task Manager after a problem.

    I hope this helps!

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    What is your Internet browser and version?

    Your system's disks IDE or SATA drives?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

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

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  Something like this:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Start Windows normally

    You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must manually call the Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

  • speakers not detected on the laptop after relacing hard drive

    I am running windows 7 ultimate, my computer is a HPdv4-1427, my hard drive has been replaced by a computer repair technician, before repair speakers worked well, I had to reload my OS after replacing my hard drive.

    There is probably a multitude of hardware drivers you need to install, including the drivers for your audio hardware. You can check this in the Device Manager (start-run, type devmgmt.msc and press enter). You will probably see a bunch of "Other devices" and/or devices listed with an exclamation point (!).

    Research on the HP site which leads me to suspect that you have mistyped the model number of your CV. But if you visit the HP website for your region, you should be able to see a "Support and drivers" link near the top of the page. Choose your model and search for the drivers. Install drivers chipset first, then the other missing drivers afterwards.

    For more assistance, please check the model number and advise us.

  • A few minutes after starting windows, the laptop crashes

    I use a Toshiba laptop model: ppm81e, with windows Vista professional.
    Last night it was working fine, but when I woke up this morning, I found that the notebook is turned off. Apparently, for three hours, there was no electricity in our region and which caused the closing down.

    When I turn on the laptop, all load pretty normal as before. However, 4 to 7 minutes after the start, computer crashes laptop all at once. I can't disconnect, I can't restart, I can not load the Task Manager, and same taskbar are locked. At the beginning of the process hangs, I can switch between the windows using Alt + Tab but it is useless and will not help anything...

    I tried to use system restore, but unfortunately it says there is no restore point previous (I guess it is disabled).
    So I tried to use the repair using Recovery DVD that I did the first time I turned on the laptop.

    So, I inserted the recovery disc 1 DVD and boot from the DVD.
    Now he's stuck in a scene where says:
    ' Waiting for ODD vacancies...
    STRANGE drive f: loan.
    Check for support in the F: drive... »

    And it is about 30 to 40 minutes, that's all there is...

    Here is the screenshot:
    Screenshot 1
    Screenshot 2

    I don't know why the laptop is suspended without no reason that I can think of and I don't know how to get out of this mess, especially when my last shot (DVD release) adds another problem to the equation, instead of solving a.

    Please guide me.

    Hi Jean did.

    I suggest that you contact Toshiba support for help with the recovery process.

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    If you are able to solve the problem of recovery process and the laptop still crashes at startup, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
