Windows 8 will not start after installing Windows 8.1

I have laptop with Windows 8 on the drive (C :), I installed windows 8.1 on drive (d). When I want to choose Windows 8, it didn't start!

There just restart and ask me to choose again.

I tried "automatic startup repair" with the DVD but it did not work, I tried this command also:

Bootrec /FixMbr

bbootrec /fixboot

bootrec /rebuildbcd

Hi Michael,

I would be grateful if you could help me with more information.

  1. What is the error message accurate/complete that you receive when you try to start Windows 8?
  2. Are you able to boot to Windows 8.1 without any problem?

This problem can occur because of bad sectors on the hard disk. I suggest you run the disk check and check if you can start Windows 8.

  1. Press the Windows key + X, click on (Admin) command prompt.
  2. At the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.
  3. Now, type chkdsk/r to repair.

To run the check disk on C drive, try the following steps:

  1. Press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer.
  2. Click the drive you want to check (C :).
  3. Click Properties andcclick on the Tools tab.
  4. Click the control button user error checking.
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Warning of Chkdsk.

Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost

Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

  • Will not start after installing the Vista SP2

    Last night my old Vista SP2 computer.  Installation seems to have success, but to restart the computer as part of the installation of automatic update, it failed.  During a part of the boot with a screen similar to BACK sequence, it arrested, printed a msg that appears to be in hexadecimal and would go no further.  Restart with a sequence of hot or cold start to produce the same result.  I tried to correct the problem by using the Startup Repair on the Vista installation disc and received a msg that Windows could not repair the problem itself.  I sent the results to Microsoft using this option in the Startup Repair tool.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your can fall into the above category: download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

    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.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  • Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

    I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

    I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

    1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

    2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

    3 renamed WPA.dbl

    4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

    5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

    6 restart the computer.

    The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

    Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

    Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

    But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

    I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

    I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

    So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

    This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

    Problem solved.

    You don't have a training camp entry in the MBR.

    Please download GPT Fdisk from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ and install it. Once the GPT Fdisk is installed, perform the following steps.

    Rebuild the MBR to match the new GPT information so reset the hybrid MBR. Use by default for other issues (such as codes of the partition). The only values that need changes are the flags of Boot and step 10. Accept all other default settings that offers Gdisk. For example, see the Q & A of the sample. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake, before we get to step 12, otherwise start at step 1 for these steps. Step 6a of the numbers that are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see le Q & A sample before performing these steps.

    1. Sudo gdisk/dev/rdisk0
    2. P (print from parts list)
    3. R (Recover)
    4. O (current MBR hybrid in block letters)

    7. Y (good for the GRUB question)
    8. (Indicator boot part 2) N
    9. N (part 3-flag of boot)
    10. Y (boot indicator part 4 make the bootable NTFS partition)
    11. O (current MBR hybrid in block letters)
    12. W (Write new MBR)
    13. Y (yes! write the new MBR)
    14. Reset

    Here's Q & A sample for this section. Please note the press enter/return.

    Partition of EFI GPT (0xEE) place first in the MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y

    Create entry for the #2 GPT partition (partition MBR #2)

    Enter a hex code MBR (default AF): press enter/return

    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N

    Create entry for the #3 GPT partition (partition MBR #3)

    Enter a hex code MBR (default AB): press enter/return

    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N

    Create entry for the #4 GPT partition (partition MBR #4)

    Enter a hex code MBR (default 07): press enter/return

    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y

    Test 1 - Bootcamp Volume appears in the viewfinder?

    Test 2 - you see the files in the Bootcamp Volume?

    Test 3 - you can select Bootcamp in system-> startup disk preferences?

    Test 4 - If Test 3 was successful, select Bootcamp and click on restart.

  • Satellite L300 - will not start after the installation of Skype

    My Toshiba Satellite L300 won't start after installing Skype.
    This happened to someone else, and can I do?

    Thank you.

    I think Skype is probably the most used messenger and ideal application for communication.
    It is professionally designed and programmed. As you know in recent years, it has been offered in many different versions and it is always better and better.

    So I think that Skype itself is probably not the problem. I know that a lot of people also use Skype and I've never heard problem described.

    Anyway, what you can try is to remove Skype and try to install it again. Try also push the BONES at that earlier time. Maybe some Microsoft updates are responsible for the stability of the software.
    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Vista will not start after start or restart.

    Since last week, when I first start the computer, change user or log out or reboot, Vista does not start after the log in password stage (after accepting the password). I usually have to restart the computer twice so he could finally enter the Office of habit and I can work as usual.

    I tried to let the computer some time at this point to work through and start normally, but it does not work and I have to restart.

    I recently updated my anti-virus (BitDefender) for the 2010 edition.

    I don't know if is the recent update to Vista which is originally or not.

    Uninstall Bit Defender and see if that fixes things. Antivirus programs use low-level drivers which can sometimes cause problems. If the uninstallation of Bit Defender work, use a different antivirus. I recommend ESET NOD32 (commercial) or Avast free. If Bit Defender Uninstalling does not help, then you may experience hardware problems. Failing power supply or hard drive that often produces symptoms such as you describe.

  • Computer will not start after windows checkdisk thing?

    My office has gone through a few microsoft checkdisk thing today (16\11\2010), and after that it's over, my com could not start more.

    It would be to start all the way until the logo Windows XP there and after loading was done and usually, it would be a blue screen with your user account, but however he just showed a black screen and I waited a certain 20 minutes and nothing happened.

    Then, I tried to reboot 10 times over and always to the same black screen.

    When I tried the thing Safe Mode would stop any loading at some point of the code, which is

    multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\agp440.sys

    That's what was on my setup on my desktop that I accessed:

    "Primary Master" > Hitachi HDP72502
    Primary slave > no
    Secondary master > HL - DT - ST GCE-852
    Secondary slave > HL-DT-STDVD-ROM

    Basic version of the BIOS > V6.0
    Revision of BIOS 3.25 23/09/2003

    Anyone know what is happening and how can I solve this problem?

    In the Boot Options menu advanced F8, choose this option and describe the results:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Let us know if you do not see this option in the Advanced Boot Options menu.

    You will not get far if you can't start something, so if you have a CD/DVD player, do you have a bootable XP Recovery Console in order to have room for manoeuvre, boot on the CD, run chkdsk /r and then you can start solving the problem (instructions below).

    You are once started in the Console recovery XP and after running chkdsk/r, then you will be able to see if KB324764 will help you.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the command prompt.

    Start by checking the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • Reference Dell 926 printer will not print after installing Windows 7

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 my 926 printer will not print. I followed the suggestions found here (unplug the printer on the wall, remove the brick, low load patch R166248 to delete the printer, the latest driver to load, R146832 dated 26/01/07, reboot). Restarts, driver going through complete installation process then I get an error at the end of the process, "the Dell Photo 926 Printer printer driver is not installed". I did this several times. In addition, I restarted the spooler to print several times. No luck. Additional suggestions on how I can get my 926 to work with Windows 7?

    Greg,

    I think that we all regret our first wedding, well most of us.

    Removal of print jobs is a way of really nice to get rid of your documents. After you restart your computer, you should be able to run the fix, Manual printer removal driver and restart once more. Try it to install the Vista drivers in compatibility mode, I used Vista SP2.

    Right click on the file setup.exe, on the left, click Properties, compatibility of the left click. Change Vista compatibility. Then, install the appropriate drivers. You will be asked when connect (printer)

    To install the drivers, sometimes the file decompresses and does nothing. You must find the setup.exe file, right-click on it, then on the left click on run as administrator *.
