• Windows xp sp3 does not start after the failure of windows update and restart.

  Hello

  My ADVENT 3217 pc runs windows xp sp3 does not start once a windows recently failed update and restarted. He's just in a reboot loop. The first time it happened I got an error code of c000021a. I tried pressing F8 and try to start safe mode and other options... but still nothing. I also tried to use my restore disc supplied with my pc. So far, I've only tried the non-destructive recovery to restore windows and it did not work. I don't want to lose my files that I have not saved for quite awhile.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

• Vista does not start after power failure

  It is a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista 32 - bit, recently replaced hard drive

  My daughter has been using the computer and the power failed due to low battery.  Now, the computer does not start normally and not all programs will run.

  If I choose "safe mode", it hangs on crcdisk
  If I choose 'window start normally' it crashes to the screen of Microsoft Corporation
  If I choose "last known good configuration" then it seems to start normally, but does not all programs run.

  I tried to boot from the OS disk, but it ignores the entire disk
  I tried to run the installation disk once the computer is running, but it freezes.

  Need solutions.  Thank you.

  Hello Bakajanaidesu,

  Thank you for posting.  It seems that you have a hardware error or failure with your hard drive.  In this case, I recommend that you contact your Dell technical support for more information on how to correct this problem.

• HP envy Phoenix: win 7 does not start with connected external hard drive

  I have a desktop HP Envy Phoenix with i7 chip and an SSD for the OS.  If I connect via USB external drive of 3 TB WD for the backup of the system does not start while it is attached.  The pc seems to be trying to boot from the outside, can't find the OS and does not start.  It will start fine with small external drives connected.  It is the size of the disk? Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  The WD drives seem to pose problems of my potential.  I have used other brands such as Seagate and Hitachi without running into problems with external USB drives causing the system to boot.  Maybe it's the USB adapter that I use which does not cause starting problems.

  @tpetras

  I used the adapter HP USB 3, which uses drivers NEC or TI and has never had a problem starting via a USB external (non - WD) readers.

• Laptop running Windows 7 does not start if the external hard drive is connected

  I know what is already on a thread, but here it is again (i.e. thread became uncontrollable anyway and did not offer me solutions). I have an ASUS K53S laptop computer Series and use it as a desktop PC. It sits on my desk and never move, I plugged my larger screen, a keyboard and mouse, printer and external hard drive that I keep all my information on i rarely save to local disk. These things represent more than ports USB to the laptop, I have a hub 4 ports on there also. It is just background information; I mean, the laptop is a must.

  Here's the problem: when I start, as I do every morning, I used to see ASUS inspire Innovation - first of all, persistent Perfection for about 1 second, then the laptop will just get on the job and complete its start-up in about a minute (including login). Which was very good until a few days ago when things started slows down a bit, then I rebooted as I always used to with my Windows XP tour. All closed but return is reactivated and it hung on the opening screen of ASUS and show no signs of getting further. I went outside and continued on another work that does not need a computer, thinking that if I ignored it it would be bit go further, but I came back hours later to find that it is always locked.
  Well after a little, I took the plug my external hard drive, and he continued to start where he left off, like nothing had happened.
  This settled this possibility, but before that, I had established a thing; I need to connect my external hard drive before starting, otherwise it wouldn't connect properly.
  When I managed to finally get both going at the same time (Yes, after some persistence, he recognized the drive but I still would like a solution to this when it exists), I looked at the hard drive and all my files are corrupted or something. photos are not valid, some files that I know to have files in appear them as empty and I can't make any sense at all. Is there someone out there who has had this problem before and fixed, and if so, how?
  My external hard drive is a Seagate 1 TB, if it helps.
  I really want an answer to this, I have data on that disc that I need and I'm not.

  If the problem affects only one PC it says its something specific to this PC.

  Is there traces of yellow warning in Device Manager?

  At whatever it is updated / installed on this PC before this problem, or run a maintenance utility?

  If there is no warning of the Device Manager, then if you perform a clean boot PC http://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 NB this isn't the manual method the Fixit which helps?

• Computer does not start with connected external HARD disk

  Although my BIOS doesn't look like another hard drive, when I start my computer with the external hard drive, the main computer shuts down until I have disable externally. I want to have external to back up automatically but can not have both to play well.

  Help!

  Hello

  The same thing happened on my laptop with a connected external printer.
  I was not able to turn on the laptop until I unplugged the USB printer.

  Well, I checked the BIOS which controls the start and put the HARD internal disk to the first position!
  Try this. Maybe it helps. Otherwise you will need to disconnect the external USB HDD til the operating system has started

• SMU 8108 does not start with the new hard drive

  Hello

  I am currently using SMU 8108 with SMU-1062 q.

  The previous record was borken, so I had to install a new hard drive.

  The new hard drive is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.

  Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disk available to the general public so I am trying to install Windows 7 on a blank hard drive.

  When you start, the LED OK PWK light is all the time, orange DRIVE LED turns on for a few seconds only when I turn on the switch.

  LabVIEW RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS several times to the Board of Directors, but the screen does not show anything.

  I tried to use my DVI monitor with any other device as well, and it worked, so there is no problem with the monitor.

  In addition, I tried to go in window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I can't see anything on the screen when his kick upward.

  I tried to put a lot of information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this problem please.

  You said that you can't in Windows safe mode, you have installed Windows on the hard drive?  Are you able to get into the BIOS of the controller?

  If you are not able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM.  If you are uncomfortable installing RAM and you have a few extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's the DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try to replace the RAM.

  Was your hard drive damaged through certain events, or it just stop working?

• iMac A1311 does not start, due to no HARD drive

  I have an iMac A1311 that has no HARD drive, so I have a disk HARD of Windows and OS X 10.6.1 discs. Can I use my PC to format the HARD drive and install OS X on the HDD using my PC? iMac will not start cuz no HARD drive

  Unfortunately, you can not. You will need to install a hard drive in the Mac - you cannot install or run Mac OS on a Windows machine (or anything other than Mac hardware).

  In addition, if this one is to end 2011, most likely cannot install 10.6.x as it came without doubt with 10.7 Lion (depending on when it was released or purchased). Mac can not boot from an OS older than what they came with. If it came with Lion, you can install a HDD and then use recovery to format and install the original above operating system (if you downloaded/purchased previously with your Apple ID).

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• computer does not start with attached external hard drive

  I have the 4540 s if an external hard drive is connected, it will not start.

  I've updated the USB ports and that solved the problem.

  Thanks for the reply.

• ESXi 3.5 does not start after the failure of the card mother SATA port 0.

  I have a DELL PE1800 with ESXi 3.5 U3 Server installed on HD1. The card mother port SATA 0 failed. I bought a new sata, Rosewill RC-218 controller card. Installed and attached hard drives. Configured the BIOS to disable the integrated and restarted sata controller. Now ESXi 3.5 will not start.

  My old configuration has two hd with ESXi 3.5 U3 on disk 1 and my VM on disc 2. Now no drives are seen by ESXi 3.5. Yet see bios of them.

  Todd L.

  Another thing you could try is to install ESXi on a USB key. http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2008/07/29/ESXi-35-update-2-on-a-USB-memory-key/

  Plug your storage space on good sata port. I have an eye for a sata controller from dell PERC 5 can be had quite cheaply on ebay and others.

• Windows XP SP3 does not start after power failure

  I've known a sequence of power failure while my computer was on. When the power was restored, I couldn't boot into Windows. Windows stops before loading the Welcome screen and hangs. I tried in "Safe Mode" and "Restore Point", but always impossible to load up to 'user account screen '. I am running XP SP3.

  I tried recovery of original windows CD. No joy. I ran chkdsk with the option/r several times and fixboot as well, without success. Help, please!

  Just type fixmbr at the command prompt in Recovery Console.

• Windows XP does not start normally, without failure or last known good configuration mode

  I was installing Intel chipset drivers and installing, I had a blue error screen IRQL_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL, or whatever it was and had to restart. Now that the system hangs when booting normally in safe mode (after loading, or train load... system32\drivers\wmilib.sys), or by using the "last known good configuration". Any ideas? Thank you.

  Hello

  Yes, Windows can be a bit particular when it comes to system files that are essential, but glad to hear that you guessed it sorted.

  You may need to download the USB drivers on another machine and transfer them via USB stick, or something like that.

  If it doesn't, try a startup repair and / or a system restore using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

  Most manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks, but you may be lucky with your manufacturer.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

• Pavilion dm4-1160us does not start after the failure of system recovery

  I have Windows 7 Home edition is installed. In my view, it is 64-bit.

  I get everything by initializing the error message is:

  "BOOTMGR is missing".

  Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

  When running various tests (Tuneup, break-in, Start-up, hard drive) in I always get the same failure ID: M4PC2J-5KQ6N0-XD6V41-60VG03. The poduct ID is XH124UA #ABA.

  The case began after my computer froze and I forced the reboot.

  I guess that the hard drive is a gonner. Is this correct?

  Hi Mario,.

  Personally, I recommend to replace the hard drive yourself - it is a surprisingly simple process (and much cheaper).  A brief guide on this is detailed below.

  Your computer is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 61 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

  If you do not have your recovery media, let me know because there is another option, you can use it as long as you can clearly read the activation of 25-character product key on your label COST.

  Best regards
