We found no startup disk or disk has failed.

Hello, in Windows 8, I get the error... We found no startup disk or disk has failed.

I get the message each time that Windows 8 is an update.

Thank you

Hi, Martin,.

Is this an upgrade or have you bought a new computer with Windows 8 pre-loaded?

Start your PC and go into BIOS and select Diagnostics F2 and run the hard drive diagnostics test.

Alternatively, use these free tools to test the hard drive

  • We found no boot disk or startup disk has failed?

    OK, so yesterday my wireless mouse is broken, I restart my computer to get it to work again. When I did, it has not fixed my problem, so I went online to see some solutions. When I went on a secure site, I got an alert on my computer and something about 2 programs being completed. It seemed was going to turn off the computer, and in a panic, I turn it off. When I turned it back on, it went straight to the verification of the startup disk. And it gives me the message: no boot disk was detected or the startup disk has failed. I got it a couple of times before and all I ha do turn off two or three times, and he'd turn out normally. It won't work, and I tried several ways to remedy. I clicked on F2 and F8 a F11, but nothing works, and I do not have a cd with media recovery settings. Any help would be appreciated.

    When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    Turn on your computer and immediately start typing the appropriate key 'F' to run the hardware diagnostics or system on your computer. Then, run the hard drive test and report the results. If the hard drive has failed or is about to fail, you may need to replace the hard drive. If the hard drive is reported as 'OK', the boot sector, or the hard drive was damaged and the operating system must be repaired or reinstalled.

    You may need to use your HP recovery disks to solve each problem above. If you create your personal series of HP, as suggested by HP recovery disks when you configure your computer... you will need to order a series.

  • Startup disk has failed - what are the options for replacement

    I have a Dimension 8400 BIOS A05 running (if I can remember you corrrectly). The SATA C drive supplied with the system crashed recently and will no longer start up. I tried various diags, but they all fail. I also had a USB drive adapter to try to access the drive from another computer... the disc turns, but I do not see the drive.

    I want to know what constraints and options are there in the choice of a replacement drive? (I wonder if I am limited on ability. The original drive is a WD740GD-75FLA1 (74 GB). Could I replace it with a SATA capacity more (I don't mind if the replacement is a WD drive again or not.)

    And, keeping in mind the BIOS, I must update that when I replace the HARD drive?

    In addition, this good old machine still runs XP SP3 and I plan to switch to Win 7 at the time of the installation of the new disc. Points to consider regarding the choice of the player?

    BTW - some time after the purchase of this PCI added a second drive hard - one 250 GB SATA drive. Do I need considered as in the choice of the total capacity of the disk online, I will be once the new drive arrives? Oh, and although I don't speak of this second disc - it works fine with the USB adapter so my problem looks like most likely to be a disk problem rather than say, a question of power cable or block.

    Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Andy

    Any standard desktop SATA drive under 2 t fine - having said that, what you have now is a WD Raptor 10 K RPM drive.   They are now called Velociraptor - if you are looking for this level of performance of the player, they are the only SATA 10 K rpm disks designed to use desktop.

  • Reinstall the premier 11 elements after the original installation disk has failed. Error 1327.Invalid Drive

    I'm trying to reinstall Adobe Prime Minister 11 elements of DVD on a 64-bit Windows 7 system.  The player who welcomed my original instance failed.  It was installed on a secondary drive, E that, unfortunately, is no longer with the system.  In the resettlement process I'm removing the original instance, as seemes to be mandatory, but I enconter error "Error1327.Invalid Drive: E:\'."

    How can I get Adobe Prime Minister 11 items on my system?

    Note: A similar problem with Photoshop Elements, except that none of the errors are detected, it just will not start as he seems to have pointers to the failed drive.

  • Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

    I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

    When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

    The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

    I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Repair your startup disk Bootcamp disappearing after you create the new partition

    . After some research, I found that it was the way forward to create a separate partition, and so I did another partition.

    I didn't know it would affect my Windows partition that I thought it was completely different.

    So now, when I start it up, there is no option to start with Windows. But when I boot the Mac and select Startup disk, it displays Boot Camp is still there, and all my files etc. are still there.

    I tried to create one separate partition (other than Bootcamp). After that its done and I started my computer, I found that the option to boot Windows (Bootcamp startup disk) has disappeared. But I still see boot camp Mac files. Any solution for this? Thank you.

    (I tried to find this solution on the discussion Forum, and I found: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition, however, I'm not able to follow these instructions. any help would be appreciated)

  • Anyway to face disconnected VMWare Converter startup disk?

    I have a computer that is dead, and I want to virtualize the computer.   Is it possible to use any version of VMWare Converter steering on a boot device that belongs to a different computer than the one currently loaded?    The boot device in this case was SATA, and we would just climb as boot device as a disc of data on another computer.

    It seems that VMWare Converter has a coded hypothesis hard it can work as an administrator in the OS environment started it virtualizes, but I hope that there is another way to execute to achieve desired virtualization.

    The following procedure will not work if the startup disk has a Windows operating system.

    1 lauch Workstation right-click of the icon and use "run as Administrator".

    2. create the new virtual machine
    3 assign the physical disk instead of the one given by the wizard.
    4. do not start the virtual machine
    5 lauch converter via "run as Administrator"
    6. Select the option "set up the machine" and select the vmx file - you just created with workstation.

    If you do not want to run the virtual machine from the external drive use vmware-vdiskmanager and convert the vmdk you created in step 3 in a normal vmdk.

  • How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

    I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  • Startup disk

    I went to the iStore to get a software update, and once this has been done, my boot on my MacBook drive now shows the name of the previous owner? For example: "Sarah." And my boot drive has been moved to 'deleted users '. Please see attached screenshots. All my images, etc. always are on my Mac. Does it matter if I am using the previous owners startup disk? Clued up too much on such things, so if anyone could give me some advice, it would be a great help! Thank you

    Don't know why your user folder has been deleted, but it sure sounds like the Mac is still signed to Apple ID from the previous owner and not yours.
