XP machine does not start, vgaoem.fon missing or corrupt error

Machine was shut down normally, but now we are getting the following error:

Windows could not start. The following file is missing or damaged

\windows\system\vgaoem.FON.

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

installation CD-ROM. Select 'r' in the first screen to start repair.

We have the configuration or the Start Menu, however is the only CD that we have CD of resettlement supplied with the machine.  How can we fix this?

We went through the 315338 article - but no bootable disk.

I would love to follow the instructions, but the cd supplied with the machine (Dell) is to reinstall Windows only.  We are unable to boot from it.

Dells make it easy to start with the bootable CD. All you need to do is press F12 as soon as you turn on the PC. Then you will see a screen that looks like this:

Select the option for IDE CD-ROM device.

Then, when you see this screen:

Make sure you do exactly that! (Here, press any key on the keyboard so that you boot YOU from CD).

  • Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

    I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

    According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

    Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

  • Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen error 2203

    original title: Windows Vista does not start, turns to a blue screen HELP PLEASE!

    Help, please! So I'm panicking here, just yesterday, I tried to download the update to Itunes, and it did not work. So I followed the instructions and uninstalled the program first, but one of the applications does not uninstall correctly. I thought I could just substitute with the update and replace. The error code was 2203.

    So I thought it was right after the download all itunes thing, and when I came back to check on the download, the screen turned to this black thing with words on this subject. I decided to force closing down by pressing the power button. Now everytime I turn on the computer, it leads to the screen saying 'windows is loading files', then this blue screen with a very large arrow (the mouse). I tried pressing the F11 key and stuff, but I have no idea what to do. PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, REALLY NEED A COMPUTER!

  • Re: Visa does not start - \boot\bcd missing required information

    This morning, I tried to start Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro, and I get the following text appears on the screen: -.

    ----------------------------------
    Windows Boot Manager
    ----------------------------------

    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
    3. click on 'repair the youe computer.'

    If you do not have the disk, contact your manufactuer of computer or the system administrator.

    File: \Boot\BCD

    Status: 0xc000000d

    Info: The Windows Boot Configuration data file is missing required information

    -----
    ENTER = continue ESC = exit
    -----

    I found something similar on the Microsoft KnowledgeBase (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927391), but according to the Windows Vista boot, all the proposed solutions require the installation of Vista media and I have just the recovery CD Toshiba base.

    When I try to boot my Toshiba Recovery CD, if I select "English (Windows Vista)" in the menu and go to the settings, the only selectable option is a scroll bar to choose what size I want to partition - for the option "Expert Mode: retrieves WinRE and the OS for the readers of the FIRST installation of TOSHIBA without affecting additional data disc" is grayed out.

    All I can do with the Toshiba Recovery CD is format the drive and lose all my data.

    I have a USB enclosure external that I put the disc in, and I have an XP machine that I can plug it in, then might be able to backup the drive but really the best option would be a way to fix rather than formatting.

    Does anyone have suggestions on how this can be repaired without the CD of Installation of Vista? Thanks in advance :)

    The Toshiba Recovery disk is not the same as the Microsoft Vista disc!
    Recovery disk contains an image that will not be able to repair your computer.

    The error message indicates that the Boot Manager is damaged or it s damage and you will need to boot from the ORIGINAL Microsoft vista DVD to repair it.

    If you don t have such a MS Vista DVD then I n t see chances to repair the operating system.
    So in this case, you need to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.

    By the way; What happens if you press F8, immediately after the laptop has been started?

  • Virtual machine does not start and...

    Dear vmware forums community,

    I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

    However, I have some problems using it.

    First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

    Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

    I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

    I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

    Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

    I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

    In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308

    Virtual machine automatically shutdown after backup and do not start with OS.

  • Win 7 does not start, the Startup Repair says corrupt amdide64.sys

    I uninstalled my ATI Catalyst Control Center, which forced a restart.  The reboot takes me to the windows startup repair which fails to solve the problem.  The log shows that theamdide64.sys is corrupted.  The options don't help me.  For example, I have no recovery points on this computer, then that option does not work.

    There was a post on the forums who suggested using the win7 install disk and choosing the repair option, but who also wants a recovery point and will not work.

    What else can I try?

    Hello

    You probably won't be able to run the repair facility, since you can't boot into Windows at all.

    Since it's disk about the best way to back up your data, would be to put the hard drive
    in another computer as a 2nd drive (best method) or "possibly" in a USB external box (less
    likely to work in this case). Or the other may allow you to copy the data to a removable such as
    CD, DVD and other USB units. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of the system can help
    with data recovery. There are professional data recovery companies even if these services are
    generally expensive.

    There are bootable discs, such as those who use linux, which will start and you could save
    the data.

  • R61 R &amp; 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.

  • Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

    It shows:

    This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    Hello

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

    Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

    See also:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

    You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

  • Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

    I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

    Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

    I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    TIA!

    Katie

    To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

    Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  • My laptop A Satellite does not start because of missing files

    I have a Toshiba Satellite and at the beginning of each month is * out.
    I brought everything new about 2 years ago and at the beginning of each month it will not enter windows.
    It won't let me even in safe mode or anything and it is not a virus I expected to * out tonight.

    So I did a virus scan and nothing came and then half an hour later he died, right to the calendar. I m sick of what each time he dies, I have to use the recovery disk and it erases everything. I got there and after 2 years of having to restart all over again each month. I m ready to 'accidentally' fall into the pool and seek assurances on the dam thing. I put t get me wrong its great until the first of every month and without warning, he's just really slow, and when I restart it, it says a file is missing and won't boot to the top.

    The strange thing is... it's always the same time of the month and which is today the 4th he died so to I m on my 8s computer typing this while my Toshiba restarts again.

    IF you think THAT YOU CAN TELL me WHY THIS IS HAPPING I'll love you forever.
    I m so sick of having to reload everything and as last month, I expected him to kill himself. Then I did all the tests and cleaned.
    But no it's dead even right on the planning... hmm please help

    It's really hard to say what's wrong, but in my opinion it could be a hardware issue
    The point is that the laptop should run without problem after clean operating system installation.
    If it s not the case, hardware problem is possible

    In my opinion the HARD drive and modules of memory must be checked first
