  Also, I tried to update my computer by using the windows update thinking that would help... Windows update decides to not work either! It comes up with the error: Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. You may have to restart your computer.
  gain, I restarted and it still does not work.

  Hi all

  I have a very serious problem.

  A few lost technology from Microsoft asked that I have to do the following:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135.

  Immediately after the restart, I was confronted with the following message:

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Info: A required device is not connected or is not accessible.

  Hi Sarang_982,

  ·         When exactly you get the error message you at startup of the computer or when you open any application or when you try to run chkdsk on his machine?

  I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state, and perform the steps below.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  You will need to disable automatic disk check, and then run the disk of the WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) command prompt check and check if the c: drive error (there) get fixed.

  You try to run the audit from WINRE for drive C: disk drive and if it helps. Here are the steps to open the command prompt in Windows RE:

  Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

  b. do one of the following:

  1. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  2. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

  c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

  d. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt to open.

  f. Type "chkdsk/f" and enter.

  g. Type "chkdsk/r" entry.

  Check if the HARD drive is encrypted or not if yes then decrypt and see if it works well or not.

  This means that the hard drive of your HP system controller is not supported by Windows 7 with pilots from the box and you need specific drivers to install Windows 7 on it.  If HP does not have drivers on their website then you're probably not going to succeed.

• Try to install Windows 7 from XP, receive the error message "Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

  Try installing Windows 7 from XP and keep having this error message before choosing my instalation method, Windows not able to retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

  Because the migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires a clean install anyway, might as well you are backing up your important files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer and do a custom clean install by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

• Envy 17 j120na: 10 Windows will not start because of the driver installation failed

  History:

  I have a computer laptop j120na Envy 17 that came with windows 8.1.

  I did the free upgride for windows 10 the 18th of this month with success, but because I was not able to decrease or increase the brightness of my computer, or put it to sleep, I realized that I still had to download/update drivers. First I updated the driver GeForce since my SWsetup folder but for the other, I searched online for her, then I saw the driver download progress bar but no progress has been made. I closed the dialog close and there you go, laptop does not start, I just saw a spark between the mouse pointer and the circular blue contraption. Sometimes he shows me a BSOD with lock core auto boost with irql higher acquisition.

  Question:

  Is this a problem with the driver installation? And if so, how do I return it?

  P.s: System Restore is not an option, I restore point.

  Hi there @Aj1baba,

  Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and assistance of HP and the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you are receiving an error message that says "acquisition of lock core auto boost with irql high ' on your HP ENVY 17-j120na Notebook PC.

  The question could be deemed to occur by downloading the update. It is difficult to say at this stage. As to return to it, your best bet would have been the restoration of the system, but you mentioned only that a system restore does not work because you do not have restore points.

  Have you tried to go into Safe Mode?

  You have media or recovery disk?

  Have you tried to do a Reset BIOS?

  Have you tried perform a hard reset?

  You have beep codes or flashing LEDs?

  Please ensure that all Bluetooth device that you use with the laptop is disabled (including mobile phone).

  Please note: delete all USB/Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

  You can update all your drivers by going to the Web site the driver HP or by using the HP Support Assistant. If you enter Safe Mode, I suggest trying to erase the driver that you have downloaded your downloads (or the folder that you saved it in), so I suggest to make updates using updates of Windows or HP Support Assistant for now.

  Please let me know if I answered your question by clicking the "Thumbs up" if the troubleshooting in this post steps solves the problem for you please click on the button "Accept as Solution" . This will allow to the others is that present the same problem a solution also. If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you.

  I have Windows XP x 64 installed on my Maxtor Sata II 250 GB HD, and when I boot the DVD in the restart of the operating system, after clicking Install now, it shows this error. How can I solve this problem?

  You must enable the service of virtual disk before you perform the upgrade, if you encounter this error.

  1. click on start / run and type SERVICES. MSC
  2. search for the virtual disk Service
  3. right click and choose 'properties '.
  4. make sure that the Startup Type is automatic, and then click the Start button.
  5 reboot and try the upgrade again.

  Hello

  You use the installation disc for the full version or an upgrade disc?

  You can see the following link.

  This could be a problem with your hard drive. You can contact the manufacturer of the hard drive for better assistance.

• Once I turned on the computer I got the following message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged. System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  I just download Microsoft Office 2010 Professional and then turns off the computer with XP operating system. Once I turned on the computer I got the following message:

  Windows could not start because the following file is missing or damaged;

  System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys

  You can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD

  Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair.

  Then, I started the computer with the Original installation CD and press 'r' by following the instructions. Then, I received this message:

  1: C:\WINDOWS

  Which Windows installation you want to connect?

  (to cancel, press enter)

  What do I put here?

  You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

  Here's how:

  I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

  It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

  You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

  You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

  A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
  http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

  Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

  Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

  Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

  http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

  I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

  Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

  Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

  When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

  Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

  When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

  Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

  A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

  Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

  CHKDSK c: /r

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

• Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.__File:\Windows\System32\Drivers\shcsh.sys__Status:0xc0000225

  If I try to boot from the DVD of ROM(with Windows Visata) to reinstall the operating system to Windows Vista, it does not.

  Please I need your help

  Have you changed the boot order:

  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

  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.

  See you soon.

• Windows Vista: windows could not start error. is suspended from the "Microsoft Corporation" loading bar then black screen BIOS not acpi compliant

  After you have installed the driver for the zune hd, I was asked to restart my computer. After the reboot, start froze on a white screen. I've seen this before and it is usually because of some connected usb components. so I manually powered down the Tower, disconnected the cable from zune and restarted. This time a screen saying that windows could not start, "launch Startup Repair tool" was recommended. Select this habit makes the startup hang to the progress bar from Microsoft corporation, then to a completely white screen. Although strangely, once only a blue error screen appears which says that the BIOS is not acpi compatible. I can't restart with F8 to go into safe mode, "windows error recovery" still appears. "Start windows normally"produces the same results as the tool to restart launch system. " I have a drive to upgrade to windows 7 and a windows XP upgrade disk. the disc of windows 7 hangs at "starting windows" and the XP disc gives a blue screen error: stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0c 0000034, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000)

  I think I have a BIOS problem, but I don't know how I could continue dealing with the repair. I have no success update the bios from usb flash. Any idea is appreciated.
  Update: managed to start with F8, choose to boot in safe mode and loading hangs after "load: \windows\system32\drivers\crcdisk.sys"***.
  the machine is a gateway LX6810-01 (friend motherboard)

  Hello

  1. What is the exact error message when Windows Vista does not start?

  2. you have the disk Installation of Windows Vista operating system?

  I suggest you change the mode of RAMA to IDE in the BIOS. You can contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

  Note: BIOS change / oxide of additional metal (CMOS) semiconductor parameters incorrectly can causeserious 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.

   

  In addition, perform a check disk in Windows Recovery Mode.

  (a) Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD".

  (c) select a language, an hour and the currencyand a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

  (d) click on check drive for errors.

  (e) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

  (f) to the System Recovery Options dialog box, click on check Drive for errors.

  (g) use the switch/r to run the disk check.

  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
