View 5 RepliesMy HP 110-3030NR Netbook is completely wiped clean at the moment. I have a bootable USB with a copy of Windows 7 Starter. I insert the USB, boot the netbook and go through the motions of selecting language and accepting terms and conditions. I get to the infamous "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen.
If I try to install on partition #2 it says...
If I try to install on partition #1 it says...
So... I gotta admit I sort of became a traitor and tried installing Linux 10 Mint because I had been told Linux will handle all partition problems itself. Well, that didn't work, it seems to be the same type of problem with a different error name, with Linux it said, "The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) failed". So I gave up on that and am now BACK to trying to install Windows 7 Starter. The only difference is that NOW when I get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" there aren't ANY partitions and at the bottom it says, "No drives were found. Click Load Driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation". I have been to the HP website and cannot find any Mass Storage Drivers, all I found were upgrades and patches. I loaded a few promising ones on a USB and tried to load them but the computer wouldn't even recognize them.
My daughter had received a Dell Inspiron mini with Windows 7 starter preloaded. At some point it started crashing when attempting to connnect to our network (in home) to get on internet. I also noticed it would not run windows updates. After some research discovered possible virus. I did run several spyware, malware programs and was able to remove fake trojans. Everything seemed to be going well until I rebooted. The system now boots to system recovery options. Knowing there is nothing really on the computer to loose, I have tried ever option. When it runs startup repair, it is unable to repair the problem. I have tryed system restore, I picked a point previous to problems start, it said it restored it but it still boots back to system recovery options. I tried the image recover and factory image recovery. If i go to command prompt I even started the setup.exe and was going to reinstall but it says it needs some drivers and for me to insert dvd/cd. I dont have one since it came preinstalled, or at least I have never seen one with this machine. I can view in dos prompt everything on the machine. Every time I reboot it goes back in to repair cycle with no repair.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe problem is that as soon as windows boots up it starts up in Startup Repair. Startup repair does not fix the computer, it gives an error that says it cannot fix it automatically.So naturally I tried to repair computer from the Windows 7 install disk.However, I get this error when I use startup repair from the installation disk:

The operation completed successfully This seems strange to me.I have no clue how to fix it and have no idea how she messed up her computer, but I suspect it may be because she might have deleted important files.My last resort would be to do a fresh install as I have no idea what sort of files she has saved and I wouldn't want to destroy anything important.Also, (and this may be obvious) I have no idea what version of Windows 7 she has or what service pack. She is a computer illiterate so I doubt she knows(I'm using my install disk).
I have my orginal O/S disk that does not have SP1 on it. Can I use another O/S W7Pro x64 disk with SP1 to perform the repair operation. Then will it require me to enter the new product key or can I keep the same orginal product key? Does the program read the product key from the disk
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with my laptop, it won't boot into Windows 7. When I boot normally, the Startup repair starts running and says it cannot repair the computer automatically, same thing happens when I try to boot into safe mode. I've tried using last known config., and I must of turned off the system restore at some point because it states that there are none to revert back to when I try that. I looked through the Startup Repair Diagnosis and repair details and states root cause found and its these two files.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have WXP installed on my 160 GB "C" drive and then installed W7 on the 40 GB "D" drive, which of course, becomes the "C" drive for W7. I received the infamous BSOD this morning on WXP and upon reboot, it gave me the following message::
"Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair."
How do I get the system to boot from the XP CD when it always goes to the W7 boot manager? Once I can get it to boot from the CD, I feel that I can do the repair.
Should I unplug the "D" drive so all the system will see on startup is "C" with XP installed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Samsung laptop running windows 7 64 bit. I primarily use a non-administrator account. I got some malware a few days ago. Malwarebytes and MS security essentials seem to have cleared that up, but everything is still running slow in it.Additionally, the malware deleted all the shortcuts from the start menu (S.M.A.R.T. rogue antivirus, I deleted the temporary files before reading that was where the shortcuts were moved to)The administrator account is not suffering from the slowdown, everything seems fine in it. I made a windows repair disc using it.Partitions: there are four right now, windows (100mb), C drive (100gb), D drive (350 gb), and a recovery partition (15gb)1. I'd like to restore/repair windows 7 on the non-administrator account. From what I understand, the registry is likely faulty. I have little understanding of how to fix it, and no image or backup from before the malware infected. My data files are backed up to an external hard drive. I'd prefer to keep the programs registered and installed. I'm interested in dual-booting ubuntu. As the maximum of 4 partitions are assigned, I'd need to remove one of them. I've created a disk image of the system and C partitions onto an external hard drive (using Macrium Reflect). The data files are also backed up, either on that disc or on different clouds. I'd like to confirm that having done this, and having a windows repair disc, it's safe for me to use the recovery partition for ubuntu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just tried sfc/scannow and I got the following message: There is a system repair pending which requires a reboot to complete. Restart windows and try sfc again.I'm thinking this repair pending is from the chldsk/r I completed previously.

View 6 Replies View RelatedBefore I start this happened after updating the motherboard BIOS from version 1.4 to 1.7, I went to 1.6 after just in case the latest BIOS had a bug
I've been stuck on the startup repair for almost 5 hours saying that it's repairing my hard drive or whatever (i forget exactly what it said), I first booted linux to check the SMART data on the HDD (i now know that I can do it with HBCD too) it came back all fine. I am now running Hirens Boot CD and DRevitalise to scan and repair bad sectors.
System Specs:
i5 3570k @ stock
MSI Z77 GD55 BIOS Version 1.6
8GB Kingston HyperX 1600mhz
Running HD4000 graphics
500GB Blue WD HDD
I do have a DxDiag on the desktop of the pc in question which I could get if needed (to tired to do now)
Edit: Reinstalling is not an option I will consider unless there is nothing else that I can do.
Edit: Turns out there is a tool from WD for HDD testing, am running that now instead if the last one.
This seems to work just in case you are testing various versions of Windows and have problems with BootingYou CAN use the repair option on a different level of Windows to the one you are currently using -- so long as both the install disk and the target Windows system are both x-86 or x-64I've repaired a Windows 7 Ultimate install with the repair option booting from a Windows 7 Home Premium disk and also the other way aroundYou don't need (for the repair function) to enter a serial number.Note that you should only use this for BOOT problems and only if you don't have the correct disk immediately to hand --saves downloading a 4 GB or so ISO --even using a FAST connection it will take a while.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a netbook here. By default, it boots into something called HP QuickWeb. It looks like just a small OS designed to get you online quick. The wireless within that OS will not connect unless you restore the laptop to factory defaults. Even then, if the laptop's battery drains all the way, or is taken out, the next time you log in, you will be unable to connect once again until another restore. From QuickWeb, you can choose to boot into Windows 7. I figure that's the best way to take care of the wireless problem since there are very little configuration options from within the QuickWeb OS. Anyway, when I try to boot into Windows 7, I get a loading bar, then the screen goes black with a cursor visible. I can move the cursor, but the screen remains black no matter what. I tried some different button combinations (ctrl+alt+del, Windows+D) to no avail. I get the same thing when trying to boot into safe mode. It goes through the list of sys files it's loading, then goes to the black screen. I'm not sure how to get into the BIOS. It loads into the QuickWeb pretty quickly. I tried the usual (del, f2, f1) and those didn't work.
