So a few months back I got myself an Asus G60VX with Windows 7 64bit on it. Everything was going good until one day it wouldn't go past the Windows graphic loading screen. For hours. It was very frustrating.
In order to backup my hard drive, I brought in an Ubuntu Live CD to temporarily run Linux and backup my files on an external hard drive. Then I used the CDs provided for me by Asus to recover/wipe the system. Came with 2 discs: One titled "Windows 7 Recovery for Windows 7 Products," the other, "Driver&Utility Ver 1.0 G60VX."
I booted up the Recovery CD, it booted up. After a few tries with it freezing up along the way, I finally made it through the recovery, and the computer requested the "support CD," so I put in the Driver/Utility CD. Again, after multiple tries with it freezing up along the way, I FINALLY made it through the driver installations, and it brought me to the screen: "Setup is preparing your computer for first use."
There is now nothing I can do to get past it. I've tried F8, starting in safe mode, no matter what I do. The reason this is pissing me off so much is because I'm totally going the legit route and everything.
I have tried many things, among which was uninstalling software, managing my startups, using CCleaner, but still my computer gets too hot and then shuts down. I need to find out what is causing this problem so that I can fix it, but I'm lost at this point.I have an ASUS G60Vx notebook with Intel Core2 Duo CPU P7450 @2.13Ghz, 4GB memory, 64-bit operating system running Windows7 Home Premium.
I have a workstation that was originally a member of a network. The computer has several programs that now cannot be "uninstalled" because there is no access to the network.
Is there a way to uninstall without being able to access the network where it was originally installed?
When i press f3 to do a recover of my PC i get the following message:your operating system drive's label is not os_install. Set it to os_Install and do f3 recover later
Windows 7 will not boot, he has tried the Recovery discs to no avail - gets so far then nothing :/He has also been using Komodo software to assist boot up, but I'm not familiar with that so am not sure if it is relevant or not.Trouble is, he doesn't have a Windows 7 installation disc so can't even boot from cd/dvd.
I am encountering iastory.sys Driver_IRDL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem. I tried system restore, loggin in to safe mode but I cannot login (normal mode and safe mode). I did the viao diagnostics, all test turned out okay.
I am trying to help my brother inlaw recover his computer. It appears to have a software issue and will not boot or recover. He has lost all his discs. Can anyone tell me if he purchases a copy of Windows 7 is it possible to install the complete version to see if it recovers. It currently has Windows Vista -64 and the software license sticker is on the case. Will an upgrade copy work or would he need a full version?
my problem is the partition in my notebook was deleted, so may data in this partition. I want to recovery the partition that was deleted, How to recovery this issue.
some days ago my laptop stopped working, because the HDD has physical damage, and i have to change it for a new one, but i was wondering how i can do to recover my win 7 license?,there must be some way to recover the license that rightfully belongs to me,at the moment is impossible to access the disk info, because of the damage damaged, the laptop does not bring any installation disk, because the system recovery was in the partition on the same disk.
how to recover an application that came installed with windows 7 because i think i uninstalled or removed the tablet pc folder an applications including the input panel wich im trying to recover. I already tried with the "Turn Windows features on or off" but it didn't solve anything. Does anyone have a link to or know where i could download the input panel?
I have a Toshiba L645 that will boot to bios and will 'start windows' but ends in a black screen with a curser.
At this point I am just wanting to perform a system recovery, full system restore to our of the box conditions. I have attempted to perform the actions with F1, F8, F10, and 0 and am still yet to be able to access the Advanced Boot Settings. I attempted to put in another recovery Disk from another Toshiba running Windows 7 but end up in the exact same place. Also attempted to use Recovers Media from Toshiba but still end up in the same place.
Am running Memtest86 at the moment to rule out a memory problem. Thinking about just running DBAN on it and seeing if I can't install a fresh copy of Windows 7 from the Toshiba Windows 7 recovery media that I have but really don't want to attempt that as this point.
I had an issue with windows 7 and was advised to reinstall. I have reinstalled and tried to recover my work via windows.old. The files have appeared, but none of my work documents inside. And yes I did not back-up this weeks work.
Windows 7 has a backup recover program. After you have ceated a system image to an external drive, there is, at the lower part of the page, a word "Restore" Which words do you click here to make a recovery of the entire pc system that you created?
The other day I accidentally deleted the local hard disk partition (contains win 7 OS), instead of the external thumbdrive. Now there are no partitions that exist on the drive at all. The data and files are in there but are in a non allocated space.. what is the best way to reverse this mistake .
I am doing a windows 7 recovery for my asus laptop and I have 3 options:
1) Recover windows to first partition only. 2) Recover windows to entire HD. 3) Recover windows to entire HD with two partitions.
I don't know what any of this means so an explanation of this choices would be great. Also, I would like to keep some of my old files like my itunes, which option will allow me to do that?
Until recently, I was running a bootlegged Windows 7 copy. Finally I broke down and bought it from a friend at Microsoft. But now all my driver software is lost. Where can I find an online driver updater that won't kill me with viruses? And is there anything else I should do to protect my system?
i had a virus and contacted a microsoft tech. he did a remote control of my system and ran a hi tech. spyware scanner and it found 5 infections. he cleaned them. all this was done in safe mode with networking. after he rebooted my computer it would only reboot in safe mode. he said a start up file must have been connected with one of the infections. he said i would need a restore disc to recover the file. i contacted dell and the are sending me a disc. my question is what are the steps i need to follow once i insert the disc. click by click.
so my lil sister brought her laptop (win 7 home premium) over last night saying it was broken. As it turns out windows does not load and it will not do so even in safe mode.
So i decided i would recover the laptop, but first wanted to get her data off the HDD. I have the HDD out and can get everything off of it, except her personal folder where all her documents are stored.
Is there any way for me to gain access to this folder or will i have to run HDD file recovery software to get the data off?
I have my netbook dual-boot WinXP and Windows 7. (I used EasyBCD for the dual-boot setup.)In booting into Windows 7, I used to have the option of the "repair your computer", which brought one several useful tools, if there is problem booting.Of course, the exact same tools are on the Windows 7 setup DVD, which I have. However, with a netbook, I don't always have the USB DVD drive with me, or the DVD, and that recovery stuff boots up much faster from the HDD partition, than from the DVD. So I think it is good to have.(Not at all like the notebook manufacturers recovery partitions. I wouldn't want to use those at all, wiping out all my data.)Recently I upgraded to a larger HDD. I used Acronis to clone my old HDD (at that time in the notebook) to the new HDD (attached via USB enclosure). (It was an older Acronis version, long predating Windows 7. I don't know if I would have had better results with a new version.)Well, at first I could not boot at all, with the new HDD installed. I was able to fix that though. (I forget the details of it at the moment.)Also, my drive letters (I have four partitions-drives) were messed up, so somehow the Acronis cloning did not keep that information, and I had to fix that in both XP and 7, with Disk Management.For the most part though, my partitions were all intact in the new drive. Being a larger HDD, I increased the size of a couple, in the Acronis interface.I realize now though, that I do not have the recovery boot-up option any more. That can show up while booting into Windows 7 and pressing a key, but if one chooses it, it just tells one to put in the Windows 7 DVD. Therefore, that option of booting from the recovery partition seems to be gone.Looking in Disk Management from Win 7, I see an unallocated partition, I think about 8.98 GB, I think. Is that the Windows 7 recovery partition? Did Acronis copy it correctly, but somehow the boot sector on the new drive cannot access it?
I had Windows 7 running great on my Dell XPS M1530 Notebook, until I turned it on this morning before work and left it on. Apparently while I was gone, it went into sleep or hibernate, and then, when I turned it on last night nothing came up on my display or my second monitor. The computer acted just as if it was booting up normally, but nothing ever showed up on the LCD. I waited over an hour, thinking it may just be having a hard time recover from hibernate, but nothing happened. I then had to just reset using the power button to retry. I did that several times with the same results. Then I unplugged it and just let the charge run out, hoping it would work this morning, but same deal.
About a month ago my hard-drive crashed which contained my windows 7 OS as well as all of my other files. The heads would no longer move so I could not read any of the data off the drive. I sent the drive in for recovery services and managed to get back all of my data except for 2 files that are not windows 7 related. They put the data on a new hard drive for me.Can I somehow recover my windows 7 OS and start booting from this new drive? I am actually not in possession of the new drive yet, I should be receiving it today.
i have a single hard drive with 2 partitions. 1st partition with Windows 7 OS and the second strictly for data. yesterday i decided to try software raid using windows disk management. firstly, i added another identical but empty hard drive into the computer. boot it up and went into disk management. i right-clicked on the 2nd partition (data partition) on the original hard drive, and selected add mirror. after a few seconds, the disk management tell me an error "failed redundancy" on both my old 2nd partition and the hard drive i just added. so without thinking much, i decided to delete volume on the new hard drive (bad move!), and guess what, it deleted the new hard drive volume together with the original hard drive's 2nd partition (contains data!). now it is showing as unallocated space and i have not format nor create a new volume over it.(i think the data is still intact)
is there anyway to recover the volume?
*i know there is a fix within windows using dmdiag but that is for non-mirror volume(dynamic disk) only. also tried with easeus partition master but still unable to recover the partition as it is a dynamic disk.
*minitool partition recovery doesnt work either for dynamic disk..any other recommendation?
