Windows 7 does not start after the C disk cloning

I got a new SSD and hope to clone my drive C for the SSD, then start with the SSD. I cloned the C drive using the software that came with my SSD (NTI Echo iirc). Cloning is completed and the system stops. I started the PC and went to the start menu to change the boot for the SSD device. It wouldn't start up, gives me the following error: "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "Then it tells me to insert the Windows installation disc (that I have not since he's back in the States and I currently live in the Japan) to fix the computer. Boot from my original HDD with SSD unplugged gives me the status code "0xc000000e." Boot from the SSD with the original HHD unplugged gives me the status code "0xc0000225." Info for both was, "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible."

I made a recovery disk using my laptop (which I am currently working on) and started via CD/DVD. The System Recovery Options appears and Windows 7 appears on the list, but the size of the partition is 0 and the location says '(unknown) '. I can't click Next or whatever it is because it's just loading all the time.

I tried to go into the system recovery on the first screen (where you enter in the start menu, etc.) and by pressing F11 (System Recovery) doesn't do anything.

My PC is a HP a6614f. I've updated the PSU with a 500W modular one and put in a dedicated GPU. Everything worked fine until I cloned the drive C on the SSD and now no player starts. The primary HHD is partitioned into two with Windows and programs installed on the C drive (personal files are on drive D partition). Drive C was 103 GB and my SSD has 119 GB of free space so I don't think it should be a matter of space.

I am at the end of my tether here since I don't know why the hell my C drive cloning should affect the original drive. At least, I should be able to boot off the original drive, otherwise the SSD. really need my PC to work (with or without the SSD) so any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Has managed to solve my problem. All I needed was a Windows 7 installation disc for 'repair my computer.' I managed to download (legally) of Digital River and after that he did his thing, I was able to start my new SSD. Whoo Hoo!

  • Windows XP does not start after the installation of an SSD.

    Windows XP SP3 and Intel Smart Response Technology

    Recently, I built a new computer and installed Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro in a dual-boot arrangement.  Everything worked very well.  I then installed an SSD in the hopes of using the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to speed things up.

    I shut down the computer, installed the SSD, brought up in Win7 and follow the easy guests in SRT to activate the player.  Restarted several times and things SSD speed up significantly.  Wonderful.
    I so restart and select Windows XP so I can SRT it.  After you select Windows XP in the boot menu, a few seconds and I get a quick flash of a BSOD and the computer restarts spontaneously.  I can't enter in WinXP, not even without failure or last known good config Mode.
    I again in Win7 and disable the SRT, reboot and I can enter Windows XP very well.  So obviously WinXP has a problem with the SRT is activated outside the XP.  That being said, I can't activate SRT in WinXP first either.  "Accelerate" option does not appear in the menu.
    Any ideas on that?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    In these cases, we always recommend to update the system BIOS of motherboard, update the firmware of the controller RAID and disks installed. If the problem persists, you will need to fix the compatibility problem directly with the manufacturer of the motherboard and add it to the RAID controller itself.

    I suggest you to contact Intel support site to improve assistance on the issue.

    http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support?IID=HDR+support

    Warning of the BIOS:

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

  • Windows XP does not start after the installation of 3 GB of RAM. Will start with only 2 GB or less.

    I installed the new RAM on my desktop Compaq EVO D500.  Everything was working fine until 2 GB.  When I tried to install no matter what the computer does not start.  Specifications of the computer say maximum RAM is 3 GB.  All the memory and are good because I swapped taken in all the combinations possible and memory.  Any ideas. gknapp_ny

    If their were any memory related settings that had to be changed I would have no idea how do.  I had initially 512 MB of RAM (256-2 sticks).  I added a stick of 1 GB aditional third availabel taking and all went well.  Then I had two more identical 1 GB sticks and added them one at a time.  With 2 GB without problem.  But with the third stick of 1 GB that I couldn't start - I just beeps. I swapped one of the sticks of 1 GB for an old 256 MB and still no start just beeps.  When I run 2 GB everything is fine.  The BIOS recognizes the 2 GB of RAM. gknapp_ny

    Sounds as if your BIOS will not identify no matter what says the spec, 3 GB.

    It seems as if you may need a BIOS update in order to recognize the 3 GB of RAM - especially if it is a very old Compaq Evo D500.  See the "Improvements" tab to the page linked below.

    See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96295&swItem=PSG_I15378-37635&prodNameId=97121&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3

    Note that the patch on the link above is for models Evo D500 "with a ROM family 686Y2."  Read the "Release Notes" on this page to determine if your machine is one of those and if so, see "Instructions of Installation" to install the upgrade.  If your D500 is a laptop, you should Flash the ROM ONLY (i.e., update the BIOS level) when the computer is plugged - loss of power during this process can potentially cause irreparable harm to the computer.

    Hi scoobydoochick,

    1. what recovery disc do you have?

    2. you receive an error message?

    3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

    Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

    Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

    Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

  • Pavilion HDX 16: Windows 7 does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    I have a system to dual-boot with windows 7 and ubuntu (with Windows 7 and NeoGrub Bootloader Windows Boot Manager).

    Recently, I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 via free upgrade offered by SM. However, I didn't like windows 10 and tried to upgrade to windows 7 by the following settings-> update of the security & -> Recovery-> Go Back to Windows 7.

    After the long process of decommissioning, cannot start windows 7 and the "Startup Repair" tool began to run. However, he could not solve the problem. Other recovery options 'system restore' and 'image system recovery' is not such that it could not find any restore point or the image created previously (I'm sure it were created before upgrade restore points).

    So, although I can boot ubuntu without any problem, I can't start windows 7. After the "starting windows" screen, I get the blue screen (a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down...).

    I intend to use the DVD to install windows 7 for repair, but

    (1) I don't know if I can boot from the CD because it is a dual-boot configuration

    (2) I'm afraid of losing work ubuntu OS.

    I appreciate if someone can help me find my Windows 7. I thank very you much for your time.

    Sorry, but there are a lot of reports on forums of Win10 the option of GoBack does not always work correctly.

    You should be able to boot properly from the same DVD of Win7 if you dual-boot with Ubuntu, but be aware, if the startup repair works (you may need to run three times), it will replace the link to start Linux in the MBR and after that, the machine starts immediately to Win7.  You will need to reinstall GRUB to get Ubuntu boot back.  You may be able to fix the boot of Ubuntu using repair boot: Boot-Repair - Community Ubuntu Documentation

  • Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

    Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

    Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

    Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

    Here's the resolution...

    I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

    My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

    Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!

  • Windows xp does not start after the system restore

    Hi, a few days ago, I restored the system to my computer because it showed no hard disks that have been added to the computer. I had no problem before, so I restored the system to the same day. AGTER system restore, my computer would not start. Well, it's not to the point where I'm supposed to pick a user, but instead of a list of users, it shows 'windows xp' on a blue background. I turned the computer off tension and Trier to start in "safe mode", but it did not help. What should I do? Thank you.

  • 32 bit Windows Vista does not start after the electricity blackout

Usually its not much, just start it as soon as the power is restored, however, this time on restart, it got stuck at the beginning (the screen with the slide bar through the green screen).
    It's the first time that, on an unexpected shutdown that has happened.

  • Windows Vista does not start after the abnormal termination.

    I use windows Vista Home premium for more
    two years without major problems so far. However, this week, I encountered a major problem with Vista, the computer froze and I had to manually turned off. After that when I rebooted my laptop, it will remain on the screen starting with drag the green bars forever.

    I tried the following:


    -start in safe mode: safe mode works, but normal startup after that still hangs.
    -System Restore: System Restore works, but even after restoring hangs normal startup.
    -repair of the system with the help of the installation DVD: is not able to repair.
    reports of undetermined origin.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    "Gets to a point where I see microsft operation and green bar and it gets stuck.
    there forever. "
     
    Hmmm - it's therefore something quite critical, then! :(
     
    Start safe mode and run the System File Checker
     
    1) click the Start button
    (2) type: cmd.exe
    (3) right click the cmd.exe file and select 'run as administrator '.
    (4) in the CMD window, type: sfc/scannow
    (5) reboot and see if that solves the problem.
     
    If not, then in Safe Mode, take a look in the event viewer and see if the
    the events surrounding the last boot to normal mode give any idea regarding the
    cause. (Just use the app and the Windows system event logs for the)
    now)

  • Windows XP does not start after the interruption of the power supply

    Power was cut while the computer is running, now when you try to start the computer, it goes to black screen with options to start in safe mode, start in SafeMode with network, last good configuration and boot normally.

    I tried all the choices and put right back on the same screen. How to make the computer to boot normally without losing all my personal data of staored on the hard drive?

    Be careful to perform a repair installation.  If you have upgraded Internet Explorer (IE7 or IE8, for example) must be uninstalled before running the repair facility:

    "How to perform a Windows XP repair installation, if a later version of Internet Explorer is installed"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/917964 >

    Your first priority should be to save your existing files.  My preferred method is to create a free Knoppix (Linux Live) boot CD and boot your machine from the CD.  This should give you full access to your hard drive and allows you to copy your files to an external USB drive or a network drive.  Afterwards, you may need to reinstall Windows, either from a recovery partition or your recovery CD.  Creating a Knoppix disk is as simple as downloading an .iso file and your function "Burn Image" program of CD burning to create a CD.

    ITunes does not start after the installation of Windows 10, 1511 version (OS Build 10586.164). ITunes version 12.3.2.35, 6 GB RAM, Intel i3 @3.3 GHz.
