Windows Vista boot disk does not fix my computer

Well, some time ago, my computer has been infected. I went to a forum, has tried to solve this problem, and he crashed out of the blue (not the blue screen). Turn off just by itself. Now it doesn't give me the loading... screen as my OTHER computer. I get the black screen "of death" where its preventing me from starting. I tried to start using the disk, repair. But it did not work. I have no point of restoration of any kind. Is there something I can type in cmd to solve this problem? or is there something I need to delete. because I can access files on my disk, but I have no idea what to do with them.

If you are unable to repair your computer by using the recovery options then Windows is probably too infected/corrupted to save. Back up your data by one of the methods below and do a clean/factory restore of Windows installation.

1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

* If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • No keyboard, no blocked on Windows 8 and Windows 8 boot disk does not start

    I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro mid 2013 (I think, I can check if it helps). There are 2 days that the SPACEBAR on my keyboard broke. I hear there as soon as I turn on my laptop it is still active as if I am pressing on it and as soon as I get to type anything, by pressing any other key on the keyboard, the EEG SPACEBAR take off and won't work at all. From what I could tell, it's an electrical problem with the contacts on the keyboard and after going a TI repair shop, they said that the only solution is to change the keyboard altogether. In the meantime, I bought a USB keyboard.

    I am also under Windows 8 in Bootcamp and I left it usually automatically connect to OS X and I just use the Alt key at startup when I go into Windows. However I have noticed that since the space bar is stuck and active at startup, I can no longer press Alt to change Windows, I decided to change the automatic boot from OS X to Windows disk and restart thinking I could just repeat the process when I am done going back to OS X. But for some reason unknown, Windows 8 will not start, just of takes me to the windows icon and freezes. Sometimes a message saying "Prepare the automatic repair" will appear under the icon of windows, but it is still frozen. Now I'm stuck in this boot sequence and I can't switch back to OS X since the Alt key will not work.

    Now my questions are: is there a way to switch partitions in the boot without a keyboard? Or is there a way to cut completely from the Mac keyboard and use the USB, one instead? Or even a way to break the contact of the space completely bar so stop because I change the keyboard completely in any case and it would be just a temporary solution? Thanks for any info!

    If the battery on your Mac has inflated because of charge cycles, it can push against the keyboard, causing its functioning. Have you checked the battery to abnormal expansion?

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

    Hello

    Thanks for the post.

    Disconnect any attached external devices.

    If you use a third-party antivirus disable and then install updates and check.

    Temporarily turn off the firewall and antivirus software and try to install the updates.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-Vista

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If this does not help, then I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and then install. Start your computer in a clean boot state, you can reduce conflicts between software and help identify the root cause of the problem. You can read this article for more information:

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

    Note: after the resolution of the problem, reset the computer to start as usual. Refer to the step How to configure the computer to start as usual after a boot minimum troubleshooting under more information.

  • Windows Vista, administrator password, does not

    I had the windows administrator password since I bought my laptop about a week, there is the password no longer works, (no one has changed the password). Finger printer reader, my impression, finger reads me the green check mark, and then displays the incorrect user name or password. Dell has no help nor Microsoft, called the two, both passes the question to the other. I have many family photos and some documents I want to turn off my computer, I can't get them because of the password, I bought a case that Dell said to do, it does not fit my hard drive. Can someone tell me how to bypass my password so that I can get at my photos or what I can do to at least get my photos in the admin account that is displayed in my full name. I tried to type in the command prompt, and nothing works, please any help, I would be so grateful... Dell and Microsoft told me, there's a way to get around, but they cannot help doing it on my own computer.

    Hello

    Donna I don't know how the fingerprint reader interacts with the opening of session if it is an assumption. This method
    works on systems without the reader of fingerprints and perhaps on your system when used in conjunction with
    your fingerprint reader. Hope it's useful.

    If this is not enough you are no worse off as you are now.

    Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
    then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
    Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
    wish.

    Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
    repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.

    DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!
