• R61 R & R does not start after the "unmountable boot volume" error

  Hi all

  New user, first post - after problem, of course.

  I have a Thinkpad R61 with Windows XP on it.  (SP2 or SP3, not sure).  Worked without problem for years, and then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.

  No problem - I have reboot, hit the ThinkVantage button, then press F11 to use the R & R hidden on a separate hard disk partition... I get the black screen with progress bar big, okay, then a blue screen... then nothing.  Hang up and sits there.  I've told about 5 times now.

  No problem! -J' was smart enough to make a CD R & R defined earlier.  The main R & R disc in the CD drive, turn on the machine, the ThinkPad, F12 button this time choose to boot from the CD... much activity follows and once more, I get the black screen with progress bar big.  It takes a lot more time then I get the blue screen - BUT - he took the extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" with the image of lifejacket.

  Excellent, I thing - but it crashes then it.  He's here.  No disk activity.  No key won't do anything.

  I can't find any thread here or on any other forum with this particular issue.

  Am I fubar?  Or is there something else I can do?

  Thanks to a bouquet.

  Hi jim, welcome to the forums.

  Is the drive recognized in the BIOS, there was an entry in the startup list against HDD0?

  No matter what it projected in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reinstall the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe with the time he lost contact to the Jack from the motherboard. If you are unsure how to do this you can find on the R61 movie site.

  The next thing I would do is run a check on a cd bootable hard drive Diagnostics, these can be downloaded from websites of all manufacturers drive HARD for example Hitachi Drive Fitness Test.  Maybe it's that the reader simply went bad after all these years of work.

  Let us know how you go

• Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data?

  Windows XP does not start. Can I boot Windows from a disk so that I can recover the data? This should be a CD because it doesn't have a floppy disk on my laptop drive. It is maybe that my hard drive has begun to fail and therefore cannot locate XP startup files. I can not start using one of the other methods of starting for example. Safe mode. If I can recover the data, I can then reload Windows and check the surface of the disc etc etc. Thank you all for your comments. Steve

  Lately, I'm leaning toward the Hiren's BootCD you can download here:

  http://www.hirensbootcd.NET/

  On the left, click on download, scroll down, choose the most recent version

  The download link is a little hard to see.  It is at the bottom of the page, above the drop for older versions and looks like this (click this component to download the ZIP file):

  Direct HTTP mirror + Torrent, Torrent Magnet

  Click the "Live HTTP Mirror" link to start the download and save the ZIP file on your desktop of somewhere that you can remember.

  The ZIP file is large, so the download will take probably some time to complete.  Then unzip the download to extract theHirens.BootCD.ISO file that will be used to create your new bootable CD.

  Create a bootable CD. ISO file is not the same as simply copying the. File ISO onto a blank CD.  You must use software that includes how to burn a. ISO to a CD to create a bootable CD.

  File ZIP the Hiren is the file BurnToCD.cmd that you can double-click to launch it.  The BurnToCD.cmd will use the file BurnCDCC.exe to burn the. ISO file onto a blank CD using your existing CD burner.  You can also use your own burning software as long as your software is able to create a bootable CD. ISO file.  More modern burning programs can create a bootable CD. ISO image.  Create a CD from an ISO image bootable is not the same as just the file on a CD burning.

  If you need a simple and CD burning, this is a free software popular software:

  Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

  It would be a good idea to test your new 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 starting on the Hiren's CD, you will see a menu of options.  Choose Mini XP.

  It will appear while Windows is loading and you will be presented with a desktop computer that has the look and feel of the interface of Windows Explorer, you are already accustomed to using.  You will feel at home.

  Using the Mini XP, you can access the Internet, maneuver around your system, copy files, replace the files, run the scans for malware, etc.  There are dozens of free and useful tools included in the CD that can be used to repair your system, or copy files to another device such as a USB device or an external drive if drop in trying to repair your system.

  If you want to see if you can fix your system, describe what is happening when you try to start and to answer these questions:

  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, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

• Windows XP does not start after the installation of an SSD.

  Windows XP SP3 and Intel Smart Response Technology

  Recently, I built a new computer and installed Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro in a dual-boot arrangement.  Everything worked very well.  I then installed an SSD in the hopes of using the Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) to speed things up.

  I shut down the computer, installed the SSD, brought up in Win7 and follow the easy guests in SRT to activate the player.  Restarted several times and things SSD speed up significantly.  Wonderful.
  I so restart and select Windows XP so I can SRT it.  After you select Windows XP in the boot menu, a few seconds and I get a quick flash of a BSOD and the computer restarts spontaneously.  I can't enter in WinXP, not even without failure or last known good config Mode.
  I again in Win7 and disable the SRT, reboot and I can enter Windows XP very well.  So obviously WinXP has a problem with the SRT is activated outside the XP.  That being said, I can't activate SRT in WinXP first either.  "Accelerate" option does not appear in the menu.
  Any ideas on that?
  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  In these cases, we always recommend to update the system BIOS of motherboard, update the firmware of the controller RAID and disks installed. If the problem persists, you will need to fix the compatibility problem directly with the manufacturer of the motherboard and add it to the RAID controller itself.

  I suggest you to contact Intel support site to improve assistance on the issue.

  http://www.Intel.com/p/en_US/support?IID=HDR+support

  Warning of the BIOS:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious 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.

  Hi scoobydoochick,

  1. what recovery disc do you have?

  2. you receive an error message?

  3. you see the computer manufacturer's logo while you start the computer?

  Looks like that there are some hardware failure on the computer that is preventing the computer from starting.

  Will need you a Windows vista installation disc as recovery are different from the install disc and restore disks are created by the computer manufacturer, we are not aware of its functions.

  Once you get the Windows vista installation disc, that you try startup repair by using the link below or take the local computer tech shop and the material tested on the computer.

• XPS 9000 froze and restart does not start - get the cursor flashing, top left of the screen

  System was working normally and after some time froze - no mouse movement, clock does not move, etc.

  Did a stop down with the power button (hold down 10 sec +) to stop.

  On switching on, does not pass through the boot sequence.  F2 does nothing and the only sigh of 'life' is a blinking cursor, upper left corner of the screen.  Tried to close - turn several times with the same result.

  I suspect a motherboard problem because there is no start. Don't know any other tricks to try to resuscitate the box.

  Does anyone have experience/solution for this type of problem?

  WGR,

  As there is no "beeps", I guess as a failed motherboard.

  Try the following, if you are comfortable working around computers:

  Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.
  
  Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if food and case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply should be good.

  Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

  Excerpt from power supply, again, unplug the power cord, hold the power button again for 15/20 seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.
  Remove all the computer PCI cards, remove the video card [as appropriate], disconnect all devices, except the monitor, mouse and keyboard and unplug cable power & data of all readers.
     
  Reconnect the power cord and power the system on, see if you get something different from the LED on the power button, or any 'beeps '.

  No difference, remove the system memory and try again.

  Still shows no signs of life while looking at a motherboard replacement & maybe a processor.

  Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  Unfortunately the Dell OEM XPS 9000 renovated/new motherboards are not cheap.

• Windows XP does not start after the installation of 3 GB of RAM. Will start with only 2 GB or less.

  I installed the new RAM on my desktop Compaq EVO D500.  Everything was working fine until 2 GB.  When I tried to install no matter what the computer does not start.  Specifications of the computer say maximum RAM is 3 GB.  All the memory and are good because I swapped taken in all the combinations possible and memory.  Any ideas. gknapp_ny

  If their were any memory related settings that had to be changed I would have no idea how do.  I had initially 512 MB of RAM (256-2 sticks).  I added a stick of 1 GB aditional third availabel taking and all went well.  Then I had two more identical 1 GB sticks and added them one at a time.  With 2 GB without problem.  But with the third stick of 1 GB that I couldn't start - I just beeps. I swapped one of the sticks of 1 GB for an old 256 MB and still no start just beeps.  When I run 2 GB everything is fine.  The BIOS recognizes the 2 GB of RAM. gknapp_ny

  Sounds as if your BIOS will not identify no matter what says the spec, 3 GB.

  It seems as if you may need a BIOS update in order to recognize the 3 GB of RAM - especially if it is a very old Compaq Evo D500.  See the "Improvements" tab to the page linked below.

  See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96295&swItem=PSG_I15378-37635&prodNameId=97121&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=3

  Note that the patch on the link above is for models Evo D500 "with a ROM family 686Y2."  Read the "Release Notes" on this page to determine if your machine is one of those and if so, see "Instructions of Installation" to install the upgrade.  If your D500 is a laptop, you should Flash the ROM ONLY (i.e., update the BIOS level) when the computer is plugged - loss of power during this process can potentially cause irreparable harm to the computer.

• Pavilion HDX 16: Windows 7 does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  I have a system to dual-boot with windows 7 and ubuntu (with Windows 7 and NeoGrub Bootloader Windows Boot Manager).

  Recently, I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 via free upgrade offered by SM. However, I didn't like windows 10 and tried to upgrade to windows 7 by the following settings-> update of the security & -> Recovery-> Go Back to Windows 7.

  After the long process of decommissioning, cannot start windows 7 and the "Startup Repair" tool began to run. However, he could not solve the problem. Other recovery options 'system restore' and 'image system recovery' is not such that it could not find any restore point or the image created previously (I'm sure it were created before upgrade restore points).

  So, although I can boot ubuntu without any problem, I can't start windows 7. After the "starting windows" screen, I get the blue screen (a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down...).

  I intend to use the DVD to install windows 7 for repair, but

  (1) I don't know if I can boot from the CD because it is a dual-boot configuration

  (2) I'm afraid of losing work ubuntu OS.

  I appreciate if someone can help me find my Windows 7. I thank very you much for your time.

  Sorry, but there are a lot of reports on forums of Win10 the option of GoBack does not always work correctly.

  You should be able to boot properly from the same DVD of Win7 if you dual-boot with Ubuntu, but be aware, if the startup repair works (you may need to run three times), it will replace the link to start Linux in the MBR and after that, the machine starts immediately to Win7.  You will need to reinstall GRUB to get Ubuntu boot back.  You may be able to fix the boot of Ubuntu using repair boot: Boot-Repair - Community Ubuntu Documentation

• 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?

• Windows 7 does not start on the new Satellite C660-195

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.

  This morning I turned on it and it came with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked. He then told me that Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The notice were to remove any device that had recently been attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I did not install a hardware or devices. I clicked finish and stop you the laptop.

  I lit it again and it's the same thing (new!)

  A forum would suggest trying the following: click on the link 'Show advanced options of the system and support recovery' who asked me to choose the configuration of my keyboard, but then when I do & click then it tells me "you must register to access system recovery options" I am never given the option connect!

  When using the F8 advanced boot options I'm still not able to solve this problem. The same thing (see above) that happens when I try to start in all security modes, last good known Configuration (Advanced), debug mode, start Windows normally etc. I don't understand it.

  Looking for other forums, they suggested dΘplaτant zero while running and then one selects Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings, but the same thing happens - it shows just the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe launched then startup repair, that does not solve the problem.

  I don't have a disc of windows 7 to restore since I only bought the laptop 6 days ago and didn't have time to do a still. In addition, the laptop must have the restoration on his hard drive, but I can't access it to restore windows.

  I'm just a home user understand all technical talk. Please can someone help me?

  Hello

  Sorry to hear you I have this problem. The fact is that the new laptops come with only HARD drive recovery image and not with recovery DVDs. What you can try now is to install the recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.
  If this works you need out of the box again.

  Please do it following the instructions in this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

• Windows 7 does not start in the computer hp laptop

  Hello

  I saw the back of the office, where I work in the best web design company in the United States, both in India, my cell phone was frozen. Who went on to become of some process, but after I saw that the laptop has been frozen & there is no other choice to stop the laptop, because windows warned to for updates. I tried HP Recovery Manager, but system restore has been grayed out & I was not able to click on it!

  I don't have recovery CD so what can do about it?

  Kindly guide me for the same thing.

  Thank you

  Arun Nair

  Hello arunnair988. I understand that your laptop has frozen during an update, forcing you to restart from the beginning. Now you need to get back to a working condition operating system, but do not have any recovery media or Microsoft Restore Points. Is this correct?

  You have two options. The first is to try a System Recovery HP instead of a Microsoft System Restore. The difference is that a restore back your system files to a known point of work at the time, but let your personal files for the most part intact. A recovery is a reinstallation of the operating system. Will lose all data that are not backed up before recovery Follow these steps to perform a restore without any disk.

  If this does not work, or you want to get the physical disks, you will need to contact HP directly. If you are currently in the USA/Canada you can call to the 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another region, you will need to visit this site to get contact information for your region.

  I hope you find this useful arunnair988 of information; have a great day!

• Windows Vista does not start. The BIOS loads then black screen with blinking cursor.

  So my friend told me that his PC was not working. When you press the power button on the pc, the screen of the Dell BIOS load but instead of starting then Vista it shows just a black screen with a blinking cursor. Still, the BIOS detects the hard drive and has the ability to boot from it, but it just that again. I tried the recovery disk windows, and when you click on the "Repair" option when it loaded usually shows a list of the operating systems installed and their hard drives. There is no listed on the Vista recovery cd. Manually, you can browse and find the partition from the OS than its sequel, and clearly see the windows directories. It all simply not start, nor let the recovery disk to fix it because the operating system is not detected. I plugged the hard drive on my pc with the same results. Then I started my Win 7 and Explorer, disks and partitions are once again still visible with the appropriate directories. Windows says the drive is working properly and has no file system errors. When viewing in the hardware Manager, he says it's healthy (primary, active partition). My hard drive working correctly says healthy (boot, pagefile, primary partition). Why used it boot and why the recovery disk not recognize the operating system and how can I fix it or do I need to format and reinstall vista?

• Windows Vista does not start after the abnormal termination.

  I use windows Vista Home premium for more
  two years without major problems so far. However, this week, I encountered a major problem with Vista, the computer froze and I had to manually turned off. After that when I rebooted my laptop, it will remain on the screen starting with drag the green bars forever.

  I tried the following:

  
  -start in safe mode: safe mode works, but normal startup after that still hangs.
  -System Restore: System Restore works, but even after restoring hangs normal startup.
  -repair of the system with the help of the installation DVD: is not able to repair.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance.

  "Gets to a point where I see microsft operation and green bar and it gets stuck.

  Hmmm - it's therefore something quite critical, then! :(
   
  Start safe mode and run the System File Checker
   
  1) click the Start button
  (2) type: cmd.exe
  (3) right click the cmd.exe file and select 'run as administrator '.
  (4) in the CMD window, type: sfc/scannow
  (5) reboot and see if that solves the problem.
   
  If not, then in Safe Mode, take a look in the event viewer and see if the

• Windows 7 does not start with the new msi motherboard

  Yesterday, I bought a new motherboard, processor and 8g of ram in my computer. After all what adjustment and replacement of my old motherboard with the new, I started my computer to find that Windows 7 unbootable not. Instead of windows 7, I get the screen click on BIOS II (2). The configuration screen allows me to launch Winki but not Windows 7 because it was not found. The motherboard came with a utility disk drivers msi and AMD chipset which, when inserted in my hard disk, loads up to Winki. This version of windows 7 (Home Premium 64-bit) came pre-installed with my old mother/computer(Thus, I do not have the windows 7 installation disk) card. Is there a way I need to activate Windows 7 on my new motherboard?

  Hello

  Well, you have some problems. First of all, with a new motherboard you need a new copy of Windows - not only the DVD, but a whole new product key must be purchased. It's just the terms of the license: a new motherboard is equivalent to a new computer, and each computer must have its own copy of Windows.

  So where you buy your copy of Windows 7, I would make sure that it came with a DVD image. Otherwise, you can tell us which version of Windows 7 you (will) actually buy, and we can send you a link to the copy of the DVD for this version of Windows 7.

  To purchase a copy of Windows 7 you can check Newegg.com, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=windows+7&N=-1&isNodeId=1 .

  I hope that answers your question.

  Kind regards
