No OS File Found On Disk
Dec 1, 2012
I'm looking at a Toshiba Satellite L455D with Windows 7 home premium. It's has a hard drive about a year old, which I installed for the person at that time with a new copy of Windows. Now, it hangs at the 'starting windows screen.' Start up repair relays this message:
No OS files found on disk.
Repair action: Partition table repair
Result: Failed error code = 0x490
I had tried booting with the dvd prior to seeing this. When it asked what os i wanted to boot, it did list the current os. The hard drive is listed correctly in the bios, so it is at least being recognized. Start up repair seems to be suggesting that the hard drive is wiped, or bad.

I have this laptop with Windows 7 as the operating system and with a capacity of 500 GB. My HDD was making loud noises and weird noises so I brought it to the shop and they told me to change the HDD because it might die anytime. So I did a full backup on my external hard disk, meaning that I cloned my laptop. I changed my 500gb HDD with a 240gb SSD. And when I tried to restore my backup files into the new drive, there's an error: "no disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found".
So I did some research on the internet and found out the reason of the error: it's because the image created was from a bigger drive than the new drive I put into my laptop. Even though my backup files are only about 100gb, I still cant restore it to my 240gb SSD because the image created was from my 500gb HDD. I am going to copy my backup files into an external hardisk with a capacity of 200gb and then backup from that drive and then I will restore it into my 240gb SSD. Will the backup file be considered as a backup from the 200gb drive or from the original 500gb HDD?

I have a digital download verson of Windows 7 Pro64 that i am trying to install over my Vista Home premium 32 install. I have burned the contents of the download to a DVD, however when i try to boot to the DVD it says BOOTMGR is missing. The file structure is the same on the 7 DVD as it is on the Vista disk, and both have BOOTMGR on the top of the Disk.I do have hardware that supports 64bit, and i can boot from the Vista CD, so i think the issue is with the burnt 7 Disk.

My system is a dell Studio XPS 435MT running W7. I just replaced the motherboard. Everything is working fine except the Boot is taking forever. It is getting stuck prior to windows loading and saying " PXE-E53" No Boot file found. In my research this has something to with the system trying to boot from the LAN.

I have been having problems logging on to my computer and the Internet, accessing files etc. for some time now, recently whenever I turn on the computer I get the message cannot find disk? I am not sure what category I should post tohats going on? And if possible how to fix it. I did do a scan about a week ago and was told the there was a program installed on my computer to allow remote access, which I have since cleaned out and reinstalled windows 7.[CODE]

I reinstalled my hp notebook after getting message boot disk not found (3F0). I am running System Type x64 hp pavilion Dv7 with a AMD Phenom P840 Triple Core Processor.After restoring it from the recovery disk to.. from box condition and reloading all updates and drivers system still gives me the same message. The first time i reinstalled it to factory default and it didn't work. That is why the second time I did the from the box installation. I think I have created more than one operating system now and I don't know how to fix the problem. When it was originally loaded from Staples in January this year it wasn't really running great but I thought it was just my wireless connection was slow. Then it started to take a long time to do anything, on or offline. I went into the updates history from Microsoft and noticed that the first 14 updates they did failed. One of them was for display amd M880G with ati mobility. The computer began lagging worse and worse and starting to become unstable. That was when i decided to run the recovery disk not knowing that it was creating more hard disks. The message is back and now there is more than one hard disk and the last one i did was complete and all updates drivers were successful. I am still getting the boot devise not found message and sometimes it won't start at all.

I have a file on my desktop that is called "Awesome." If I go to the properties, it says the file type is "File (.)" If I try to delete it it says "Could not find this item. It is no longer located in (my desktop directory) Verify the item's location and try again. I looked everywhere and searched this many times but nothing works for me. I think I was trying to save a picture as a jpg or something and somehow this happened.

I've just used Windows Update to install SP1 on two more or less identical computers with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. On one of the computers only the following error and warning are showing in the event viewer, from around the time the actual installation started (ie immediately after the download completed):Error - Source VSS, Event ID 12305 Task Category None:Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Volume/disk not connected or not found. Error context: DeviceIoControl(\?GLOBALROOTDeviceHarddiskVolumeShadowCopy18 - 000000000.....). Operation:Processing PostFinalCommitSnapshotsContext: Execution Context: System Provider________Warning - Source Ntfs Event ID 57 Task Category (2)The system failed to flush data to the transaction log.Corruption may occur.(end of messages)Both messages showed exactly the same time. System restore shows that a restore point was created at the same time, which suggests that it did manage to create a restore point despite the error.I tried restarting the computer, and it didn't try to run chkdsk (which I would expect it to do if there were any disk errors, and which has been mentioned on other forums). Disk management shows all disks and partitions to be healthy (before and after the restart).

While looking at my Windows files, I cant remember were in windows exactly but I found a AMD file but I am running a Nvidea GPU. Is there any reason for this to be here? I have been having some stability issues occasionally so I wonder if this is it? Some AMD drivers have arrived in my system.

I have an HP Pavillion g7 laptop running windows 7 home premium 64 bit; this message appears every time I start up my computer. I had to restore factory settings within the last 24 hours due to a major crash and an inability for windows to start-up. I want to solve this problem now

Windows 7 64 bitI went to the Microsoft website and reset the hosts file. (I just copied the text on the page that said it was for the Windows 7 hosts) Prior to the hosts reset, the only text in there was 120.0.0.1 localhost. Anyone know what this means? This happened one other time before, so it has to be something.

I just recently returned from a trip out of town and found when I tried to boot my computer I had a Grub boot error 15, file not found. I've never heard of grub4dos before I began trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer and found that it is used for dual booting. I run windows 7 ultimate x64 and have never dual booted my machine. While my laptop itself is not password protected, I do require a password to get into windows.
get around the required password to install grub4dos, install linux, then copy my hard-drive, leaving it useless when they're done? If not, is there some other way, a virus or trojan, that could cause windows to fail and revert to grub? I did remove my hard-drive, put it into an external case and try to look at it on another computer. In the disk manager it shows that it's healthy, has 465gb avail and the format is RAW.

I tried to download a PDF but something went wrong during the download and I ended up with a file icon on my desktop without any extension and having 0 bytes. When I try and delete this file icon I get the error message: "Could not find item. This is no longer located in C:UsersMynameDesktop. Verify the item's location and try again". This seems like a contradiction - Windows is showing a file icon on the desktop but then says there is no file there! I have tried searching for a file by that name elsewhere and there is nothing. I have also tried cleaning the reg and doing a disk cleanup. How to delete this useless file icon from my desktop?

I have an issue with my computer - every time it puts its self to sleep (although i disabled sleep mode) my computer refuses to boot. It fails to recognise my boot hdd, untill i take out every other HDD, and then plug them in once its booted. On startup i get an error message 'CPU over temperature. Press f1 to continue...', but this generally does not affect anything. I have literally just reapplied thermal compound to my heatsink and CPU, but still get same error.When playing power intensive games, the system runs fine.BSOD error message: driver_irql_not_less_or_equal, researched and found nothing of use, dump file size of 0kb so i can't even debug it.Ram is being read at 800mhz instead of 1066mhz despite changing latencies to 5-5-5-15 and voltage to 2.2v as suggested by kingston.I have scanned for viruses using Avira Free AVG.
Specs:
Asus P5q Pro Turbo - ATX - LGA775
4 x 2gb DDR2 Kingston Hyper-x 1066mhz
Gainward GeForce GTS 250 @1024mb
600w PSU
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4mhz.
I have tried updating drivers, but they are all up to date.

I know there are a myriad of slave drive access issue posts on here. My thing is that I've managed to take ownership of my slave drive; formerly in a tower - now trying to access it thru my windows 7 laptop. Ive taken ownership of " my documents," but it doesn't seem like it took; I still have to take ownership of every folder in it individually when I go into it. Furthermore, when I going into my music or video folders - I get a "file not found" error when I try to open the files.

I was using the computer when all of a sudden it shut down. When I turn it back it on, it automatically tries to do a Start-up Repair. After several minutes, I get the message: "Start-up Repair cannot this repair this computer automatically." When I click on "View problem details," everything looks fine except for "Root cause found: Boot critical file D:CI.dll is corrupt." This happens every time I try to restart the computer. I've tried System Restore and System Image Recovery to no avail.

I'm having difficulty trying to get my new Windows 7 pc set up to share files across my existing home (wired) network which consists of 1 desktop pc running WinXP and 1 laptop running WinXP.I want the 'C' drive on each of the 3 computers to be shared. I've had the 2 Windows XP computers set up and working like this for several years without a problem but I can't seem to get the 'C' drive on the Windows 7 computer to do the same.All 3 computers have the same workgroup name and none of them require passwords to log on to Windows. There are no problems with the firewalls on any of the machines.On the Windows 7 PC when I right click on the 'C' drive and select the 'Sharing' tab, I have set this up to be shared and when I click on the 'Advanced Sharing' button there is a tick in the 'Share this folder' box, the 'Share name' is 'C'. If I then click on the 'Permissions' button, this shows a 'Group or user name' 'Everyone' and this group has Full Control, Change and Read boxes ticked. As far as I can see there is nothing more I can do.
However from my Windows XP computer, when I go to My Network Places and double click on the icon for the Windows 7 'C' drive, I get the message "\Computername is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The network path was not found"I've subsequently set up a sub folder (of the Windows 7 'C' drive) for sharing by right clicking on the folder, choosing 'Share with' and then selecting 'Specific people'. I then set up a group called 'Everyone' with read/write permissions. Now I can navigate to this folder from my 2 WinXP computers.

So, my antivirus (avast 5.0) found an "infected file" which it deleted. Shortly after that, he asked me to restart the computer for a startup analysis, which i tried. My computer then restarted, and I got to a "startup repair" window, trying to resolve problems. This windows runs for about 25mn to finally tell me that it is unable to correct the problems.I of course tried to boot in safe mode, tried "system restauration" a few times, and I allways get to the "startup repair" window.I also don't have win7 installation CD because they don't give it to you with your laptop when you buy it around here (yes, I made reclamations to get it but they just answered me that if I wanted the cd I had to pay the windows7 license again, this was out of the question).
I'm actually booted on a linux usb device (and hopefully I have access to all my datas!), and I have two questions for you (maybe three in fact):1- Is there any way to reinstall the startup whole thing without the installation CD?2- Is there a file where avast's last actions are reported? I went through the log files, report folders and journal folders in my avast folders, and couldn't find any clue about the file he deleted. My idea was simply to get the name of that file to replace it manually.

I've installed Outlook 2010 after formatting my PC, then deleted it because of connection problems to Gmail. I've tried to install it again, but all my previous Gmail accounts setup have been saved(and thus I couldn't use Outlook for Gmail), so I deleted it again, but this time, thinking that it will solve the problem, I've also manually deleted some Outlook files that weren't deleted after uninstalling.I've tried again to install Outlook, but now when I try to open it I get this error message:
"The file c:usersusernamedocumentsoutlook filesoutlook.pst is not found".
