Beep Codes On Startup - Choose Operating System
Sep 24, 2012
I was playing Syndicate on PC, and then suddenly, the game froze along with the sound. I could not alt tab, or ctl alt del. So I shut down the laptop using the power button. Then onwards, every time I start/restart it beeps numerous times and then the HP logo is seen, then it beeps numerous times again and then asks "Choose operating system". I click windows 7 on that screen and then it starts and works fine. I have started and restarted, and the number of beep codes are numerous and dont have an exact count every time. On one start it might be 11 beeps and on another it might be 8 beeps. I am on HP G70 120, and I am on Windows 7 32 Bit. The only operating system I am using is Windows 7.

I've searched the net and this forum but can't seem to find an answer. I'm sure it's probably simple but I've never seen it before when I was using XP.Why is there an entry in Startup titled "Windows Operating System"?I'm loathe to uncheck it, I just don't understand why it would be there?

I wanted to know what is the best way to install a bootable virtual operating system at start-up? I have installed VM Workstation 8 and wanted it to load windows 7 or XP at the Start-up like when you turn on the computer it loads/boots automatically in to the virtual OS. The reason I want to do this is that so i can set up the OS and take a snap shot of the machine and when my brother breaks his computer again i just restore the snapshot of the machine.

The only way I can get my computer to start is to cut, then restore power.Then I get the beep, and the Windows introduction graphics start showing up.Then the machine abruptly shuts down and the green led blinks 3 sec on, 3 sec off. The next time I cut and restore power,I may get a screen that offers to "restore". That option may or may not work.If it does work, the computer finally boots and acts normally.Or I might get a screen giving me the option to repair or start normally.Choosing to start normally usually works.What do I need to do?

Ran F12 to regain Operating system - long version. Says computer passes everything but there's no operating system found. Did this Twice. Tried "Operating System" CD that came w/ Studio 17 laptop. Hit option to run via CD & never got anywhere after an hour. Tried Reinstall Hardware disk that came w/ laptop. It shows Vista, but laptop came w/ Windows 7. See where it shows the system's checking things out, but never get anywhere.

I know there is a setting to choose or not to choose specific countries, but I don't know how.(Yes, Europe is not as free as you think and you need to change your identity to view what third world countries can view!)

Suddenly my Win 7 Home Premium x64 will not boot. The system starts, POSTs then loads the DVD driver, then the screen goes black (not blank but "lit up" black if that makes sense). Then nothing. If I use Hiren's boot cd I can boot up using the "boot from HDD" option fine and Windows operates normally. System restore to a previous configuration made no difference to the original problem. I cannot boot into Safe Mode. F8 just offers me boot order options.
- Running the Windows 7 DVD I find: "No operating system is listed on the Repair Windows option."
- Running Startup Repair finds the following error: "the partition table does not have a valid system partition" which it claims to have repaired, but the error remains and Windows will still not boot.
I followed this advice:
Boot 7 dvd to system recovery options command prompt. Type: Diskpart
list vol (find the vol letter e.g C or partition number e.g. 1 for the system partition )
Sel vol C ( or sel vol 1, obviously use the correct letter or number)
act exi
My system partition was easily identified and listed as healthy so I selected it and made it active. The problem still remains exactly the same. My system is self built just over a year ago, to my knowledge has been running fine, without any hardware issues. I'm prepared to do a clean install if that's what it takes but if there is a way to fix the partition problem without that I'd like to explore it first.

"Missing operating system" massage is coming when i start my system and i am not able to start. I think because , i had given "mark partition as active" option for one hard dive (E) in disk management when last time i opened. it did not have any data. i did not know, this will make any problem. Now i am not able to boot windows re installation dvd also. i can only take BIOS settings.

Ever since I bought my new computer and installed Windows 7 64 bit Pro I have noticed that sometimes when I start my computer the startup locks up or crashes, requiring me to restart or it takes me to the system repair screen and running this process does nothing.

I was just wondering is there anything within the fabric of your p.c. (the p.c. equivalent of a clothes label) which specifically states its operating system.I have Windows and Windows Office 2007, but as I said, is there anything that clearly stipulates on my hard-drive which operating system I am using.

Basically I loaded up my Sony Vaio PCG-71811M laptop and it just has a black screen with 'operating system not found) I clicked F2 for the utility help to see what it said about the HDD. It doesn't say 'HDD not found, all it says is '0GB'. Really worried because all my university work is on there

I dropped my acer extensa 5235 from 1.5ft it landed flat. But now when i turn it on it says "operating system not found". Ive been searching everywhere for a solution but have not one. I do not have my windows 7 install disk as it was already pre-installed but i do have the windows 7 iso on a usb-stick. But when i go to install from the usb and choose custom install it starts to "Copy Window Files" but stays at 0% then an error comes up and says "Windows Setup could not reinitialize the deployment engine. To install Windows, restart the installation." ive tried to restart the installation but always comes up with same error?

My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6500 (dv6647cl) just crashed randomly during basic internet browsing. I turned it back on and I get the Operating System Not Found error. In the BIOS I do not see the hard drive recognized. I connected the hard drive to a different computer and it is recognized and it appears as though nothing is wrong with the drive. Is it safe to say that internally the SATA controller is dead? Will edit after running diagnostics and sector tests on the drive.

My rather new Sony Vaio started having BSOD crashes, usually (but not always) after being asleep. After the BSOD, the restart would fail, with a message saying the operating system could not be found. But, after a couple restarts or a cold reboot, it would find it and start without problem. I reset the bios to defaults, did a system restore to before the crashes started- no luck. To make matters more complicated, the BSOD flash so quickly I don't get error codes, and no matter what I do (check pagefile size/location, system settings), my computer doesn't make a dump file. The event viewer only lists a critical error that the system rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. I called Sony, they had me run one of their hard drive check programs (not chkdsk and it passed), and then made me reformat/recover using the hidden partition and their recovery software. Besides the annoyance of the clean reformat and all my software settings etc not restoring quite right, three days after the reformat and I have another BSOD, and again, no .dmp file or any other clues (and of course, all the previous error reports got wiped).

When did stability become an issue with operating systems? Was it around the time dial up modems were used as Windows monitor stands? Surely such a stack was not as stable as when people used to put monitors on top of thick telephone directories. Was it when combinations of operating systems and programs often failed for no apparent reproducible reason? What happened to all the operating system bugs? Surely the bugs did not disappear as operating system stability became a concern. I'm trying to pin point the year. I guess it would be the mid 1990s but I'd like to hear your opinions.

I have an Asus K60I, and when I start it up, a message appears telling me to choose an operating system, and gives me two choices...
1)Boot Client OS
2)Boot MRI PE
When I go to advanced system settings -> startup and recovery-> there is nothing listed under Default operating system, and the dropdown menu is empty.

My sony vaio is about 2 years old with a Windows 7 64 operating system. I changed the hard drive to a 500GB Toshiba. When I turned the computer back on it said "Operating system not found". I was told to turn off my computer and then restart while pressing F2. The new hard drive showed up on the screen. Then I restarted the computer again while pressing F10 but it says "Operating system not found".
