• Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

  Hello
  I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
  Problem still exist.
  The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
  because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
  Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

  I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
  The problem still exists.

  Another interesting fact:
  After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
  for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
  I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

  The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

  INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

  UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

  Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

  Select Services

  Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

  Stop Windows Update

  In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

  Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

  Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

  Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

• 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.

• 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 Vista will not start after the automatic installation of the patch Ms.

  My Dell laptop does an automatic installation of the latest MS patches (12/08/10) and now he can't boot into windows.  All tests show that the material is fine, but an error at the end of the "bad update patch" said test results I can not even to go back to a previous restore point.  This happened to me the year last on my desk... same thing, but it's XP which could not start after an automatic update for the Member States.  Dell technical support told me that MS knows what is happening, but it is not supposed to be public knowledge.  I need to know if there is a fix, in addition to erase everything and do a complete reinstallation of the operating system.

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

• Windows 7 is not genuine, after the installation of windows 8 in dual boot.

  When I want to upgrade to windows 8, Windows 7, I think I should try windows 8.

  So, I installed windows 8 with dual boot.

  But after the successful Windows installation 8, when I started my laptop with windows 7 OS, it shows that the copy of windows is not genuine.

  What should I do?

  How can I get my windows 7 back as it was?

  Please help me... :'(

  Download and run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool:
  Download the tool: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56062
  Post your results (copy button) and paste the results in your answer.

  As a starting point, the first thing you should check is the section to three figures on the number of product ID, if it corresponds or is included in one or two digits of the examples below, you have probably a MSDN or TechNet product key. "These keys must not be sold for retail use.

  065 066 067, 068, 069 to Ultimate, box 220 for professional and 230, 231, 232 area for Home Premium,

  There are probably others, but they should be close to those that are displayed"
  (How to be certain - download the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool listed above).

  Note: Though that illegally sold MSDN/TechNet allow product key for activation of more than one
  (usually 5 or 10), so these keys can be sold "several times" before activation may fail.

• Windows 8 do not repair after the laptop broke down (my husband HP G60-125NR)

  Bought the upgrade of software online to win November 7, 2012.  PC has had several problems with HDMI on the laptop.  It would break and then we would get running again.

  Yesterday, my husband went to turn on his laptop and it crashed completely.  I created a bootable cd to download Win 8 we bought.  On reboot, we were happy... but not for long.  The repair feature would not work... no reason given.  It does not restore options, nothing works.  I went several forums to find a solution.
  Finally, we decided to reinstall windows and he said, it would not be installed because the PC is locked?  Frustrated!
  Tried once more and I have a message "Windows didn't prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation."  To install Windows, restart the installation.
  Error:
  File: \Boot\BCD
  Status: 0xc000000f
  Boot your PC Configuration data is missing or contains errors
  Can anyone help with this?  My husband had some work/Word documents that he wants to save, and alas, he fears that he will lose all.  What choices do we have?  Don't forget, repair, restore and reset functions are all not working is not for us.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  I come home and I tried the option you provided.  Thank you by the way.  I can't get past the first command prompt:

  BcdEdit/export \BCD_Backup C: (where BCD_Backup is the location where you want to reside) and press ENTER.

  (is there a letter or another command I should type after the backup of the word?  When I type in prompt up there, it indicates that the setting is incorrect) command prompts are confusing to me.

  I also shows that several facilities of Windows see examples:

  [1] C:\Windows.old.000\Windows

  [2] C:\Windows.old.001\Windows

  [3] C:\Windows

  At this point, I'm afraid that I won't get it her husband pc so that it starts.  It is a constant reboot and loop, I've been in the bootrec files and he says it has repaired, but in vain.

  See the messages in the refresh, reset and repair options:

  'Refresh' option and the message "the drive where Windows is installed is locked.  Unlock the drive ad try again".  How can I unlock a drive that would not even start?

  'Reset' - impossible to reset your PC.  A required disk partition is missing

  "Repair" - automatic repair couldn't fix your PC.

• 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!

  Close this message.

• Says Windows 8 is not activated after update to my laptop.

  So earlier today my laptop was slow so I decided to update it. After this refresh, it now says that my product key is used on a different PC and gives me this error code in the details of the activation: 0xC004C008. He also says "" the activation server reported that the product key has exceeded there unlock limit. ""
  I don't see why it does this because I updated my laptop before and I had no such problems. Is it possible to fix this?

  1. press the Windows key + X , and then clickrun, and then type: slui.exe 4

  
  

  2. then press the ENTER"" key.

  3. Select your "country" in the list.

  4. choose the option "activate phone".

  5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

  6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

• 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!

• HP Mini 210-4120: Windows Update does not work after the Reset HP Mini 210-4120 factory

  Following the advice in another post on this site, in order to create a "clean" installation and his work & Office Starter (they do now--they have not before) I did a reset to factory of the recovery partition. (Trying to create discs of recovery or a USB key on the two brackets to the stage of checking).

  The new game worked well, without error, BUT try as I might, I can't have the updates of Windows to work. If tried to re - adjust the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder, sfc/scannow (no errors found) and using the powerful Microsoft FixIt which is supposed to re - install the Windows Update service - all without success.

  I read on a post no HP (but I can't remember where!) someone finds this problem caused by a chip Intel driver, so maybe that could be applied to my PC.  However, since the factory Reset recovery Partion includes SP1, I would have thought that at least the system should download updates!

  I get no error message, it justs waits... and waits... and waits.  I let wait for 90 minutes, but there is still no sign of activity.

  I hope someone knows how to solve this problem otherwise I'll have to go back on my installation of non - Office Starter - his, no. (Who, fortunately, I have a couple of image.)

  Hello:

  I get it, I guess.

  I thought that you also had a simple W7 starter installation disc (which must be done by editing the efi cfg file in any drive of W7 installation), and then you use the product key on the case of the laptop to turn on.

  I knew that you had tried the partition recovery without result.

  I was in the middle of the answer I have provided the link for audio driver, and I see that you already have.

• 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)
   
  BTW - I saw boots to take more than 30 minutes of the Normal Mode - so make sure you
  sure leave you long enough!

  Last night (14/02/2013), I installed a set of 11 updates (one option, else important) and after restarting my machine after startup logo, the screen of my computer just started flashing from black to grey (when it is grey, I could see my cursor, could move it, but could not do anything else)...

  I would really like someone to be able to help me with this. I bought Windows 8 Pro to my laptop from my wife and also 3 other copies for my father-brother machines... and now, I had to disable the Windows updates for each of them because of this!
  All our computers are HP, maybe that has something to do with it? I do not know. Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that machines did not originally come with pre-installed Win8 (as I said above, I bought the discs retail - 5 of them).
  I really enjoy using Windows 8 and won't go down to Win7 after all my work and spent $$$.
  PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

  Update:

  With the help of my friend and colleague some at CreativX.net, Greg (gsw953), which has tested this situation on a machine of his, we think we have found what was causing the problem:
  All my machines are patched (I used UltraUXThemePatcher to patch mine) to run custom themes, 3 rd-party... Of course, the patcher (all of them, not just the one I use) modifies several system files (for example the shell32.dll file and a few others), what makes your system able to run themes not digitally signed by Microsoft. This seems to be the rub.
  The way I solved this Aalders - UN-patch my system. Most patchers have an uninstall feature that uninstalls the patcher and adds by default, system files not patches in your system from backups that patch is when you have it installed. Once I did, I got all the updates, restarted, then re-patched my system and everything was fine.
  I have the feeling that this same routine can must be made (UN-patch, get updates, re-patch) whenever MS publishes major updates of Win8... It is prudent to disable automatic updates. Better to have Windows Update notifies you and lets you decide if-or-not to install... and also it's a good idea to READ THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE UPDATES to see what they are - maybe even search them individually on the ' Net before you allow it to install.
  MS has a long history of updates that fub a system patched... it's as if they don't want look us cool themes. they want that we have all the same, default * that they provide only. Shame on them.
  Once again, in the end, the fix: Nations United-PATCH your sytem... get updates... and then re-PATCH. Worked for me. Touch wood...
