XP pro do not start after changing the Boot.ini file
These should be considered right resp. partitions 1 and 2?
I wanted to first XP pro to start the default partition.
A few days ago, I made a change to the boot.ini file. But since XP Pro was not starting at all.
I tried XP Pro to start first that the default partition.
These are the values that bootcfg gives me:
default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
Boot entries:
Boot entry ID: 1
Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional
Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer
My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts.
My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system.
On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work. Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? Thks.
I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly.
Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.
Respectfully, you will continue these hap hazard patches and your computer will not start at all. I'll try to help you once again. Please follow closely.
Start your computer by loading Windows 7. Click HERE and download EasyBCD. Install the software in trial version. Once installation is complete open EasyBCD. You will see an interface like the image below. Click Add a new entry.
A new screen appears as in the image below. Use the drop down menu to select Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3 as described below. Type the name of the operating system in the box below. Of course, it will be Windows Xp (you can add the home or Pro to the name if you want). Make sure now that there is a check mark in the box "automatically detect the correct player. Once you have completed these steps click on 'add an entry '. That's all! You are finished. If all goes well, and if you have followed these steps carefully, there, now you have a system dual boot.
You can now start working on your cd/dvd problem.

After failing to find the source of reliable performance from my PC, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the motherboard, memory and the CPU. I installed a triple base 435 Athlon and a motherboard Gigabyte MA74GMT. Awarded PC again started the first time - but Windows will not, I get a number of options but none work - safe mode brings up several lines of messages on the partition of multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0).
A previous post suggested that a similar message meant some kind of malware but if I replace the old motherboard, processor and memory Windows works very well - in fact I use it now.
Do I have an option but to reinstall Windows from a CD? Otherwise I have a problem - I can't find the installation discs for each piece of software except my Windows XP Pro! I do repair discs?
Thanks for your help.

Satellite Pro L40 does not start after changing the BIOS settings
Changed some settings in the bios last night and now when I boot I get a screen black lights flash and hard drive lights up but nothing on the screen.
There is no password on the bios... How would a BIOS reset to normal?
I put a windows disc now, I hear the disc spin but nothing on the screen
(I think that I have come to the right place on the forum)
It s a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 model psl4be.
Thank you
> There was no bios password... How would a BIOS reset to normal?
You can set the default BIOS ONLY inside the BIOS access BIOS by pressing F2 or at the beginning of the initialization of the order
But I doubt that this problem is related to the BIOS.
Maybe it s just a simple bad luck that this problem happened exactly after change something in the BIOS.Try connecting an external monitor and check if you can see something on the 2nd screen.

OptiPlex 755 USFF does not start after changing the cmos battery
I have a desktop Optiplex 755 USFF requiring the cmos battery to replace. After the replacement of the computer will not start. It brings up the menu windows start, the sasfe mode, safe mode with network set mode command prompt, security, last know good configuration and boot normally. Any option will bring to the top of the WIndows XP loading screen and then re-boot of the computer right back to the start screen. A big loop. I can get the hard drive to boot in an Optiplex GX280 without problem. I was told of the motherboard needs to be replaced, but I changed the units of the system and the same thing with this hard drive.
I tried to reinstall the operating system and get all the way to "starting windows" and then the blue screen stop error message 0x0000007B (0xF7A10524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) dead. The computer is WIndows XP SP3, 1 GB of ram with 80 GB hard drive. It seems that the Setup program does not recognize the hard drive.
Any help would be appreciated.
After several hours of experimentation, I finally found the correct BIOS settings in order to get the computer to boot. There are three BIOS settings that need to be changed or check settings by default so that it can work. SATA 0 must be activated, SATA operations must be changed from AHCI, ATA and in the modular Bay, by default "far-sighted" should be replaced by the IDE. Save the settings and start the computer to the right upwards.

Windows does not start after changing the partition with external software
Hello
I messed up and followed some bad advice. Water under the bridge, but I want to recover my bootcamp partition if possible. I've seen several messages with the right process, but decided to post hear instead of assumptions. I am running OS X El Capitan on an early 2011 MacBook Pro. My 256 GB SSD is a bit pressed and tried to be too stingy with the Boot Camp partition, so my current troubles after resizing. I have 10 Windows on the bootcamp partition.
I'm going to throw a bunch of data from my survey here.

Ive pulled the battery, reset the CMOS button and jumped the pins CMOS won't default. To b e there is a way to fix it... Please any ideas will be appreciated.
Hi Glenn,.
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
Important: Change BIOS / 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.
I recommend you contact the manufacturer of the PC for the procedure for making changes in the BIOS.
Do not hesitate to write to us in case you have any problems/concerns while working on your computer, we will be happy to help you.

Windows could not start after activating the boot.
Hi all
I have a very serious problem.
A few lost technology from Microsoft asked that I have to do the following:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135.
Immediately after the restart, I was confronted with the following message:
Windows could not start.
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: A required device is not connected or is not accessible.
Startup Repair does not work. -Root cause found: the partition table has not a Sys component validates.
System Restore does not work - the system cannot find the specified file (0 x 80070002)

Bootcfg does not work - could not open the TRUNK. INI file.
Bcdedit does not work - the requested system device cannot be found.
GParted does not work - cannot load the ntfs module: invalid argument.
How can it be fixed, please?
It is an extremely urgent situation which must be resolved immediately, because I use this computer for work and need to return to work on a large commercial project Monday. Forget the original question that MS tech was trying to 'help' with, everything what I need now is to be able to get into Windows, or even just make this record available and accessible on the LAN computer.
Hi all, thank you for the advice.

How to edit the boot.ini file in windows 7?
I currently have windows xp 7 and added o/s. How can I change the boot.ini file?
Type MSCONFIG in the start menu to run the System Configuration utility.
On the Boot tab, set your options, and the operating system you want to run. Changes will be automatically written to the boot files.Click OK to save your changes. -
My Windows XP pro would not let me change the "Use welcome screen" option under: user accounts/change the way users connect or power off.
He gave a message to the effect (I forgot to write it!) "a recently installed program does not change this setting. Search in the file named "RtlGina2.dll for a clue. So as silly as I can be, I did a search, finds the file RtlGina2.dll in the Windows/System32 folder and cut and paste on my desk. My thought was to isolate this file to see if it will address the problem of not being able to change the option use Windows screen.
Now, I can't run Windows! It gives a message that this file RtlGina2.dll is not found! Specifically, it says, User Interface failure. The UI for logon RtlGina2.dll DLL failed to load. Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original dll.
How can I replace the dll if I can't even get started? Help, please! I know just enough to get me in trouble I see.
WyoPathfinder,
Are you able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt? If Yes, then you can search for the file "dir /s /a RtlGina2.dll" lists the location where you moved to. Then you can just copy (path\filename) c:\Windows/System32\(filename)If you do not work in safe mode, then you can boot from a XP disc and go into the recovery console and do the same thing.
Hope that helps. QQ learn manage!

Win 7-64 not start after change of motherboard. Win 7-64 has tried to repair without success Message of Win7 installed "Cannot automatically repair the start" Message from the repair option DVD Win7-64 install is "this version of the Recovery Options is not compatible with this version of Windows".
If Win 7-64 don't update the hardware changes and this prevents the start.
Is there a solution for this problem of resettlement and thus destroy all previous program files and configurations?
Hello
As you mentioned that you have "hard disk 500 GB (previously there were two HD in the old mobo)" which means the HD is also changed
Then I suggest to clean install to solve this problem, please follow the link to clean, install the windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/installing-reinstalling-Windows#1TC=Windows-7
Note: data loss caveat:
Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.
Thank you
Er.Mayank Chadha
Thanks for your response
I solved this problem in BIOS Advanced\SATA config\SB SATA config. as follows
SATA port 1-4 = AHCI initially
SATA port 1-4 = new IDE
SATA port 5-6 = IDE these ports used with DVD, a comic book should be like ports 1-4
This because I've done a typical mistake of mine. I did not save the configuration with the entry of FDI
Good bye
