• ESXI 5.0 installs but won't start

  I bought a test computer to try to esxi and run some windows xp vm, the motherboard is Intel and Corsair SSD hard drive (pc is new), I performed the installation and it reported no network card which was an Intel onboard, so I bought a Sunix card and installation continued without error, but when I restart the machine It's as if there is no boot sector or operating system installed on the drive and it does not start.

  Have you changed the type of controller in the BIOS? When you use an SSD you to change AHCI SATA controller (or other). You also need to enable virtualization technology. Check the manufacturer's guide to activate that...

• Mysterious problem - HP DL380 G7 Server - ESXi installs but won't start

  Someone has already seen this? I have a new DL380 G7 server, I have 8 drives and installation with 2 bays, RAID10 (4 discs). ESXi 4 DVD comes from an ISO, I downloaded from HP (and have used on other servers as DL380 G6 without problem). The installation goes by at the end asks me to restart, and then I remove the DVD and restart. The controller, SmartArray P410 is defined as the boot device (there is one in the system) and I even try the F11 at startup and tell it to boot from HD... the screen is blank for a second then the server tries the other boot devices (network, etc.).

  I am really puzzled. During installation, the installer sees the two logical drives very well. I took LogicalDrive0 to install to.

  Thoughts? I'm puzzled.

  I agree with the suggestion of J1mbo . It is a good way to make sure that you install the operating system/ESXi on the expected logical volume.

  Another possible way to make sure that you install on the logical volume is created volumes with slightly different sizes. (I usually create one with only 10 GB for ESXi). In this way, you will be able to take the logic unit number in the Setup program based on its size.

• OfficeJet 4620 wants to power down, but won't start button / stop

  Most of the time the printer/scanner works fine, but sometimes it "sulking" and wants the power off, but won't the power button.

  I have a switch in the extension cord to the electric line which I use in these moments there (better than pulling the plug?).

  When the current is applied again the printer usually goes back to work.

  Sometimes he blames me for not using the power button - I really try that and generally goes back to work when I promise to do better in the future.

  Yet at other times, he wants the power cut off, even once.

  The printer is connected to the router via wifi.  Two computers are connected by ethernet to the router using Windows XP or Linux (via hplip).  One or more laptops can be connected to the router using Win7 or Linux (via hplip) wifi.

  (Really) thanks for your help and suggestions, but I think I've reached my limits.  I followed your link and entered the information produced.  The result is that the warranty expired 11 days ago.  It's an interesting period of guarantee; ten days of 27 months.  I bought September 15, nearly 11 months ago.

• network computer detects and installs but won't print on shared printer

  I have a HP C4680 hooked to my beta Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit version office running with a USB cable.  I have an Asus EEE netbook running than Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit Retail Version.  It detects and prints on the thin printer on the network.  I have a laptop HP slot as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Retail Version.  When I add printer and select network it finds connected to the desktop computer and goes through the installation, but it will not print to it.  It is as if it were the case.  There are no errors, but does never print anything.

  Any suggestions as to why does not print just a computer?

  Thank you

  In the case where someone else faces ever I think that the problem has to do with a 64-bit computer, I try to print to the 32-bit computer.  There was a bizarre behavior last night.  He would print document a specific word, but nothing else.

  After some additional research I found two things to try.  I've done both, so I'm not the one who fixed it for sure, but everything works fine now.

  First, I installed the printer drivers 64-bit on the desktop hosting the printer.  Then click on update driver for the printer from the laptop 64 bit.

  The next step, I took suggested that set the permissions of folder windows/system32/spool to everyone on the host computer, I saw.

  After doing these all works very well, and my wife is happy, that it can print.

I tried to launch the installation disc. He manages to pass the Microsoft corporation loading screen, the cursor appears and I can move it, but the screen remains black.

  When I reinstalled windows it says that the hard drive can fail quickly, so that he might be. If this is the case then I'll just disassemble the laptop and get a few parts.

• SPORE on Windows 7 installs but doesn't start. Message says "Spore has stopped working".

  
  

  I recently bought the game spore original and installed on my compaq cq5320f. It installed correctly but when I try to run the game, the screen goes out for a second, then an error message box saying "spore has stopped working" it self closes and says windows is working on a solution and if it finds one, that he will let me know. the only option is to close the box.
  
  
  I tried everything, including a spoke with a representative from EA that had me do a start-up in minimal mode, of the United Nations and to reinstall and even suggested I buy a new video card: I did. I upgraded to the Radeon 4850.
  
  
  I am the only user on this computer and have had norton antivirus running on it every second because she was online. When I right click on the SPORE icon, it does not give my an option to run the previous version and the same error occurs when you try to run as an administrator (whose profile is already anyway).
  
  
  I am at a loss here. I know that's not the game, because I installed it on my laptop (running Vista) and it works fine.

• royally botched vista, will be only the start in recovery mode is not serious what I seek

  right, I have got myself into a right 2 and 8 here. After a long and boring fight with a virus that blocked my internet and evaluate in system32, I finally managed to remove it completely. but, after his retirement, vista started crashing when I went to connect, resulting completely garbled screen. safe mode has started very well, unless I tried to activate the networking, audio or one of my ladies of virus, which caused its lockout and plant too.

  I took it to a friend at a repair shop who have kindly pointed out that, although I had removed the virus completely, or I seem to have also deleted a large number of system32 files, including the rundll32.exe all important. It recommended, as I disabled the system restore, I run the vista recovery partition to repair the damage. I did, but in my haste, I think that he overwrite some files, do not know that and now windows of only starts in recovery mode, choose any option. Even safe mode gets in the middle of the commissioning before she also starts the recovery program.

  Oh and here's the strange thing, when vista crashed in the newspaper, the screen (in the background) was quite fuzzy and pixelated, but the mouse was not and in fact, was very good. This makes me think that it is perhaps a lack of graphics driver also, driver, or who could not run because of rundll32 or one of the other DLLs where missing.

  So, what should I do? I have a lot of important files on the machine and I don't want to lose them. I have my vista disk, could I start out of it and run a repair by it? or if I can reinstall vista only? or I'll lose all my files in the procedure?

  You can do a repair on Vista installation - but you must start Windows.

  Here is the link: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html

  I have a lot of success with this and usually sugest (like vader95) that you back up your stuff and do a new installation.  We don't know what you're missing, and you're going to be fiddling around with him for always (IMO).

  Good luck!

• Satellite P200 - 17 c - Vista won't start up - how replace/repair boot.ini

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba P200 - 17 c of the vista computer and it won't start, freezes on the splash screen. I have
  used iso image to boot from and ran repair disk, makes no difference.
  Machine will not get beyond microsoft loading page (with yellowish scroll bar).

  My question is: How can I replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.

  I have not (my fault) create a back up or restore disk.
  After booting the machine from cd, system repair running and try to run the system restore doesn't work...

  Can anyone advise on a way to replace/repair boot.ini or turn off the drivers?

  Try to avoid to pay another £30 pounds for a recovery disc that I already paid for the licensed software, don't know why.
  If you pay because you do not get a copy of Vista with machine...

  Anyway any help would be most appreciated.

  Hello

  > How to replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.
  I doubt that this could be done under Vista cannot modify the boot.ini as on Win XP OS.
  To edit the boot.ini file you must use the BCDEDIT command.
  However, I put t think it would start the Vista correctly.

  In my opinion you have two options;
  You can use the safe mode and might attempt to start the Vista slim or you have to reinstall the entire operating system yet.
  But I doubt you'll be able to start in safe mode if the system repair and system restore didn't work too.

  So in my opinion the last real solution could be the new facility.

BIOS ran diagnostics, everything was good except the hard disk, hd chk result: replace the hard drive. F11 entered to access advanced hp Recovery Manager options tempted towards the top of the entire disk, all files show while listing to back up, attached to my external hard drive current over the back with success.  Plugged external on another laptop, new files since the previous backup are no where.  Should I buy a new external hard drive and repeat the backup via Recovery Manager Advanced Options or should I remove the internal hard disk and insert it into a case and apply in usb on another laptop to view the files.  I know when my computer crashed, I had too many windows/tabs open and too much process and tried to interrupt a process and I confused his little brain and now he has Alzheimer's disease.  I am freaked because I'll lose everything 2012 including some very important documents and about 50 000 pictures HD (yes I learned my lesson backup!) I am in crisis mode because I recently became sick and my photos and documents is vital for my next year of chemotherapy and radiation. Please advice are extremely appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  This backup after pressing F11 is a HP backup option, not a Microsoft option.

  I suggest that you contact HP or ask their Support Forums.

  It's the normal advice I'd give to record data; but we have no idea of the State of your hard drive.

  Saving your files:

  You can remove the hard drive and put it in a hard drive USB enclosure > plug it into another computer > and try to read and copy your data in this way.

  Or, you can download Knoppix > make a bootdisk to > start your system with it (IF your material is all work) > and copy your data from the hard drive like that.
