    Start/market, you can see down at the bottom of the splash Screen, either F2, del to get into the Setup/BIOS or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    Choose anyway (the Start Menu is easier for you) and make the DVD drive to be 1st in the boot order.

  • Problem starting Satellite M40 - windows didn't start up properly

    Satellite M40 running XP Home, an 80 GB HD, 2 partitions, (System on C:, data on D :)

    During bootup, current sector has been disconnected (no battery in the laptop). When I try to start it again, go to the screen (sorry for the "mixed-language french English"...) «windows didn't start properly... Please select 'safe mode', "safe mode with LAN enabled", "BACK Safe Mode", 'last known good configuration' or 'normal startup' (I'm simplifying the content of the screen...).»

    Regardless of the choice that I do, XP starts to run, then I get a blue screen flashes briefly (too fast to be able to read what whatsoever) and the process begins again.

    I can access the BIOS and were able to boot from a CD.
    Thank you anyone give me some guidance as to the possible problem (as well as a possible solution that could avoid having to completely restore the system and... to reinstall all apps)

    Seems the BSOD appears and the laptop operating system cannot start as should!
    The BSOD appears especially because of the hardware or software serious malfunction.
    First we need to find if its hardware or software related problem.

    Installation simply from the recovery CD is a simpler way to find out what could be wrong
    You must format the first partition C, where the old operating system has been installed and install the new OS on the C.

I managed to run individual tests on do as the battery, processor and hard drive and they all passed.

    How can we try to repair Windows rather than recreating the image?

    If you create a USB installer or Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the recovery options advanced that you will use the Safe Mode. If you are able to boot in safe mode, then using the system recovery may very well be the answer to the question of the BCD store that appeal to you.

  • 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.

    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
