View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with my very new computer (Lenovo Y480 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit), which I've narrowed down to the following sequence:
1. I restored computer to original factory settings (to rule out possible causes)
2. I ran msconfig, and checked the boxes 'Safe Mode' and 'Networking.' I got the following error message:"System configuration cannot save the original boot configuration for later restoration. Boot changes will be reverted. The system cannot find the file specified"
3. The default boot option disappeared from the boot menu (Windows 7, default OS, current OS).
4. When I restarted my computer, it would not boot and gave me the error 0xc00034, stating that the file BootBCD was missing.
I did not do anything else with my computer after restoring the factory settings, and I did not connect to the internet. I originally encountered the problem when I wanted to try installing Windows updates in safe mode after some of the installations failed. I have replicated the error several times, including after successfully installing all Windows updates.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI put the XP disk in to have a look at the partitions before deleting them, but found the partition screen was confusing. My query is as follows:
2)There are 2 HDDs in the PC. When I got the PC, it had one Seagate HDD - W7 appeared in Windows on the C: drive and I placed applications there. Immediately afterwards I added a 2nd Hitachi HDD to hold data only, creating a single volume on it called G: data drive. This all seemed to be working fine until this current problem.
3) So, I thought I would see a C: �system� partition, or maybe a 100MB �system reserve� C: and another lettered part of that partition, and the G: partition/volume for data files (on the second HDD). However, what I saw on the partition screen via the XP installation disk was this:
476938 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR] D: Partition1 (System Rese) [NTFS] 100 MB ( 75 MB free)
E: Partition2 [NTFS] 476838 MB ( 419213 MB free) 476938 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR] C: Partition1 (data drive) [NTFS] 476937 MB ( 383546 MB free)
4) In the CMOS Features screen in the BIOS setup, the HDDs were configured like this (extract):
IDE Channel 0 Master [None]
IDE Channel 0 Slave [None]
IDE Channel 1 Master [Hitachi HDP725050GLA]
IDE Channel 1 Slave [None]
IDE Channel 2 Master [None]
IDE Channel 3 Master [None]
IDE Channel 4 Master [ST3500413AS]
IDE Channel 4 Slave [None]
IDE Channel 5 Master [Optiarc DVD RW AD-72]
The Hitachi HDD at channel 1 is the 2nd HDD, added by me after delivery to hold data files only, so I expected to see it below the Seagate HDD on this list.
5) Also, the Hitachi HDD was top of the Hard Disk Priority list on the BIOS Advanced screen. Again I would have expected to see the Seagate above the Hitachi in that list.
In XP, if one is playing something over the network on a wireless connection, there are usually (always?) little dropouts every so often caused by Wireless Zero Configuration service. So once its connected, simply disabling the service causes those dropouts to go away and playback is smooth and steady.Well, in Windows 7 I have those same dropouts over wireless but, no Wireless Zero Configuration service to disable. So what is the equivalent or what needs to be done to make it quite checking the connection so that playback will be as smooth as it is with XP?I've tried disabling a couple of sevices that were associated to wireless (WLAN Autoconfig) but so far I've only managed to completely bonk the connection.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with my windows configuration as usual when a Windows update comes along I click shut down and it updates and then once I power back on I get to the Welcome screen and it configures the new updates. Well right now I am having trouble because I run the update and then once I turn it back on the configuration stays at 0% and I have to power down and enter in Safe Mode so it reverts back to it's former updates. I don't want to have to go through this endless cycle forever is there anyway I can find out what these updates are? It is 4 of them and if I can find out what they are is there a way I can manually install each one individually to avoid this configuration freeze?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some problem with my windows 7. In some time, before the windows showed a screen with username and password while it was logging in, a message about configuring windows appeared and failed in doing the configuration. I always solve this problem by restarting and entering the safe mode and so i can do restore windows to a previous point where it was working properly. It is however too bad to do that always. Every several days i have this. How should I solve this permanently?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Win 7 Ultimate. I recently bought a usb turbotenna to catch wifi. It worked fine with the Ralink software. Ralink worked in conjunction with wzc as I set it up that way while installing the software. After a few days, I had what I thought was trouble so I uninstalled the Ralink software. I then plugged in the usb adapter and let windows load it's own drivers. Few days after that, I reinstalled the Ralink software and opted to "Use wzc as configuration utility" instead of using Ralink's. Ever since then, while I can still see and log on to networks using windows, the Ralink utility now shows NO networks. It now shows, "NIC or driver not ready". After several uninstall/reinstall, Windows will not relinquish it's primary control. I want to go back to Ralink showing networks and letting me connect through it's site survey.
Would uninstalling the Broadcom wireless connection be the solution? How do I get it to once again be secondary?
I was wondering if there are anything like the Wireless Zero configuration on windows 7. The thing that scans for wireless networks constantly.

2. 1000GB storage drive (649GB used) -Drive D
3. 1000GB backup drive (930GB free space)- Drive E
i wanted to use windows 7 bakup to to create disk image of drive C and save it to drive E/i got a massage that tels me that i dont have enough free space to make the backup, after i checked i found up that windows 7 backup although i checked only drive C also backing up the files from drive D.how do i make windows 7 to backup only drive C and not the files and folders of drive D?
1) Long story short. I can't get Windows 7 to start because of a PFN_LIST_CORRUPT blue screen error, tried Safe Mode, Last Known Good Config, Memory Diagnostics Tool, same error. Nor can I get the W7 disk to repair or install.
It loads files but fails on the first Windows splash screen and goes to a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT blue screen. So I've decided to delete existing partitions using an XP Home installation disc , quit the XP install, and then try again with a totally clean install of
Windows 7.
I put the XP disk in to have a look at the partitions before deleting them, but the partition screen was confusing (not that it's hard to confuse me). My query is as follows:
2)There are 2 HDDs in the PC. When I got the PC, it had one Seagate HDD, Windows 7 appeared in Windows on the C: drive and I placed applications there. Immediately afterwards I added a 2nd Hitachi HDD to hold data only, creating a single volume on it called G: data drive. This all seemed to be working fine until this current problem.
3) So, I thought I would see a C: 'system' partition, or maybe a 100MB 'system reserve' C: and another lettered part of that partition, and the G: partition/volume for data files (on the second HDD). However, what I saw on the partition screen via the XP installation disk was this:

5) Also, the Hitachi HDD was top of the Hard Disk Priority list on the BIOS Advanced screen. Again I would have expected to see the Seagate above the Hitachi in that list.
Question 1 - could someone explain what I'm looking at in the partition screen?
Question 2 - are the HDDs wrongly configured? Maybe I did something wrong putting the 2nd HDD in.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen installing Windows 7 about a year ago, I plumped for partitioning off my hard drive to keep Windows XP and installing Windows 7 on separate partition.Recently I added an SSD and have installed Windows 7 on that and now I want to remove the XP partition, reallocate the available space to my Sata Windows 7 install to begin the (long) process of making the SSD the primary and only OS on the machine.I've copy boot.mgr and the boot folder to my SataWin7 drive and then restarted the computer with the DVD in, selecting repair so I can run command prompt.Running Diskpart, I deleted the XP partition but for some reason I'm getting an error when I try and make my sata Windows 7 partition the active partition. I've subsequently rebooted and repaired the machine to restore the Win XP partition so I can carry on booting the machine (hence I'm typing now), but can anyone throw light on to what the problem is here?
