When I try to start message says press f1 to retry or f2 to setup the options not able to go to f8 to boot into safe mode

I can't get the pc to start or can I go to f8

Hello JoAnnBuhler,

If we're not boot after BIOS, then we are probably experiencing hardware issues - or a problem setting in BIOS.

It would be best to contact the manufacturer of your system on what they will be better able to diagnose the problem.

Best regards

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

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

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

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

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    Hello

    As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • When I started my computer this morning, it ran chkdsk at startup, windows startup it goes immediately to chkdsk, it will be repeated again and again. I can boot into safe mode, but if I try to start windows normally it runs chkdsk and does not start

    Windows does not start normally, just run chkdsk again and again

    First test the hard drive to make sure it's healthy. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    http://www.ImgBurn.com

    http://www.Seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/SeaTools/seatooldreg
    http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. The physical tests fail, replace it.

    If the hard drive then passes the physical tests, safe mode:
    Start > run > cmd [Enter]
    fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

    This will tell you if the disc is dirty or not. Then always in cmd:

    chkntfs /x c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

    This tells Windows not not to check this drive at startup. Reboot and it should go on the desktop. Once Windows loaded, run cmd and:

    Chkdsk /f /r c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

    CHKDSK will run through all 5 steps. After that it's over, always in cmd:

    fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

    to see that the dirty bit is not set on this drive.

  • Windows asks me a password and I never put a. I also try to boot into safe MODE and administrator request a password as well. How can I work around this connect? __

    can not connect to windows

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/
    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

    This message is an indication of a hardware problem - your hard drive (HDD) has been corrupted

    This isn't a problem of Windows or software. Defective HARD drive needs to be replaced.

    If your computer is still under warranty, you must consult and inform the HP support team. Contact them, let them know and check replacement options

    > > http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

    > > http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/contact.html

    If your computer is NOT under warrantly, you will need to buy new drive HARD on your own OR buy new SSD.

    SSDS is highly recommended > > http://ocz.com/consumer/ssd-guide/ssd-vs-hdd

    Good vendors include Samsung, Intel, OCZ, etc...

    If you don't know how to replace it, you can check with friends online or make the computer to HP authorized service center, where the faulty part can be replaced (not that if the machine is not under warrantly, it may cost you a small fee).

  • When I try to defragment it says I have chkdsk and Defrag file inconsistencies. It does not work. What can I do?

    I ran Chkdsk it says nfsd. file, reading - in only. He starts to run, and then says error. cannot continue to operate in reading - in only. I need to know what to do a d how to please!

    First of all, tell me if you have used the /r switch when you run the disk check. If this is not the case, do. Then, you can review the log file and see if bad sectors have been marked as faulty. If this isn't the case, it is probably not necessary to run the hard drive diagnostics test.
