we are attempting to upgrade the harddrive in an asus eeepc 1005ha from 250 Gb to 750Gb. we purchased "Disk Director" by acronis and are using the cloning feature.
everything seemed to go well until we installed the new drive and it would not boot. the original drive was reinstalled and a second attempt was made to clone it.
the cloning process includes a reboot of the computer to start cloning. it would not boot. a screen comes up the says "windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause..." it then says that we need to use the installation disc and the repair computer feature.
the repair window on the disc will not come up, what starts is the recovery utility which reinstalls the OS and erases everything else.
I have just gotten a job working on the internet and am trying to get updates done...Can I fix somehow all of the failed updates in one process? I really need to keep the window open to see who needs what on my work. I just need to know too, why all the failed updates, I am just estimating but am sure there are more than 7 of them. I want to get to work asap...
When I try to boot my HP Compaq laptop I get this message in a dialog box. This computer has been overheating and either powers down itself or we power it down.
Anyone got a clue how to fix it??already searched for it using google..but couldnt get a step by step solution.. i got the system repair disc created from another computer..
I have a Toshiba Laptop which generate this message 'Logon Process Initialization Failure' Interactive logon process initialization has failed please consult the event log for more details' after I ran a AVAST Boot Virus scan. However I could not reached the logon sreen to continue on to get to my destop. I am stuck.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium.. Last week it refused to boot up. The message that I got is in a large rectangle. It says" Logon Process initialization Failure. Interactive Logon Process initialization has failed. Please consult the3 event log for more details. How can I see the event log if the computer will not boot up. I ran the repair function and the return to the last known good boot
I have a Dell Inspiron n5010 for about two years. I downloaded a large-file game recently, but when I realized that it made my computer freeze, I uninstalled. After that, my laptop suddenly shut down and rebooted, but it automatically went to Startup Repair. I tried to do System Restore, Dell Datasafe Restore, Safe Mode, Last Known Good Configuration, and all options on F8 screen options. After the Dell Datasafe restore, I got the notification: "Logon Process Initialization Failure: Interactive Logon Process Initialization Has Failed."I tried to do Safe Mode, but it did not work. I do not have a copy of Windows 7 or an external hard drive. Windows will not start.
"interactive logon process initialization has failed. Please consult the event log for more details" I have been google-ing for hours, with lots of mixed answers. It seems like a very popular problem but no direct step-by-step answer to fixing it? I am not a guru, but have medium level knowledge if someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction!
I can access F8 and startup repair (no effect/no issues found)
1. I have a FUJITSU MHZ2160BH G2 2.5 ATA Hard Drive which is an moving parts hard drive. Id like to replace this with a Solid State much large hard drive. Are all 2.5 Hard Drives the same in terms of the generic size? I.e. do I simply just screw the back of the laptop, take out the old and put in the new?
2. I have a three partitions that I would like to clone. I have a dual boot, Windows 7 and Ubuntu laptop with shared hosting. Is Clonezilla the best for this do you think? Its a little complicated in that Id like to copy the existing hard drive and then in the new hard drive increase the partitions by 15 gig each - and then copy the 3 partitions in.
The above failure has occured ("logon process initialization failure" ). what happend before:
- CPU over heated error upon startup -- cleaned computer --cleaned & applied new thermal paste (old stuff was dry) --- outcome: CPU over heat error upon startup --Did a BIOS repair and update --Did a Windows update
I am wondering is there a way to have an automatic boot process run?Example: I work and get home at around 5:30-6:00 PM, I would like my PC to boot at 5:00 PM.If there is a way to do it great, if there isnt, no great loss.
I've had since cloning my drive.I was originally running Windows 7 Pro x64 and Win XP Pro x86 on a WD 150GB VelociRaptor, but cloned these partitions to a OCZ Vertex 4 128Gb SSD. Both OS are available at boot up and Win 7 runs fine. However, if I select Win XP it hangs at the welcome screen (blue screen with no login icons). I have tried safe mode, but get a similar blue screen with just 'welcome' on it. If I put the original drive back in, it works fine.I used Acronis True Home to clone the drives as I have used it on many occasions with no issues. But just in case this was the issue I tried EaseUS partition manager, but still have the same problem. I really want to avoid reinstalling XP as I have legacy programs that I no longer have the installation discs for.I had recently run Intel Rapid Storage Technology 10.8.0.1003, only because I wanted to ensure all drivers and systems were up to date prior to cloning. XP still worked fine on the HDD, but don't know whether this could be linked to the issue or not.
whenever I turn on the laptop, it seems to boot into Windows 7, in that the "Starting Windows" text appears and the little animation of colors forming the logo shows, but as some point it fails. This message appears on screen:autocheck not found - skipping AUTOCHECK After a few seconds a BSOD shows up, but too fast for me to make out what it says. It used to, but after some hasty fix attempts no longer does, cycle around to a menu that informed me of this error:Status: 0xc000000f Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. Here's the longer history:As some point in the past I decided to try out dual-booting Windows 7 and Linux on the laptop. I got it to a state where this worked fine. I had partitions roughly as follows:[Ubuntu][Windows 7]([Data and files][Boot]) The parentheses denote a logical partition. The Boot partition was very small and only held what was necessary to launch GRUB. This week, I realized that I hardly ever used the Linux partition and decided to get rid of it to reclaim storage space. This is where the trouble begins. I rebooted into a thumb drive that could run GParted and modified the hard drive layout in the following steps: Delete the Ubuntu partition Delete the Boot partition Grow the Data/Files partition to take up the space left by Boot Shrink the Windows 7 partition to make it faster to move Move the Windows 7 partition to the front of the volume Expand it to take up the remaining space. What I ended up with was: [Windows 7]([Data and files]) My naive and fatal mistake was to trust that the Windows Repair CD could fix any boot issues, and also that there would be no catastrophic hardware failures. Both of these assumptions turned out to be false.
First, the laptop's CD/DVD drive has either broken or is too unreliable to use. I have noticed it becoming more and more unstable over time, but now (when I need it most!) it simply does not seem to want to spin up and function at all. This forced me to create a Windows Repair USB drive. However, I can't load any installation media. This is because the laptop did not come with an install DVD. It had a recovery sector, which I cannibalized for the Linux partition. I did copy the stock recovery stuff to a series of DVDs, but, well...This is all to say that any solution that requires a DVD drive is straight out until I can replace it, which I'd like to consider a last resort.My expectations for the Windows Repair CD/USB have been dashed. Attempting to automatically fix boot issues either fails for some specific reason (I can probably reproduce it and provide the details, if necessary), with a dialog to send a report, or fails because it cannot detect any problems. I have tried a variety of things based on my own research to fix this through the command prompt: Running chkdsk /x /r on all drives. Does not find any errors. Running various bootrec commands: /fixmbr, /fixboot, /rebuildbcd, /scanos. All complete successfully, but the last 2 report finding 0 Windows installations. Using bcdboot and bootsect to recreate the bootloader. Again, no errors result, but it does not fix the issue. I guess it should have been obvious that none of the boot record fixes would matter, since the laptop does boot into Windows 7, briefly.
I have a problem when booting up Windows 7, it hangs at ''starting windows'' for 10 minutes and then works flawlessly. I've tried Windows 7 build 7201, then upgraded to build 7229(both 64bit)and now i have Windows 7 build 7231(32 bit) and still got the problem. Having tried different things like new nvidia drivers, new sound card drivers, different sata settings, disabled any secondary LAN adapters...etc I've decided to post here, maybe someone had the same problem and knows how to fix it.
When I boot up my Win 7 Pro x64 computer I have to choose either Windows 7 Pro or Windows 7 Pro. One works but the other cannot startup so how do I remove it. I've searched on the internet but they all seem to be for WinXP and require me to choose edit but there is no edit button available.

My PC goes through the BIOS stage and starts to load Windows 7, the GUI comes up and then it just stays there, goes into space with nothing happening. I have booted in Safe Mode and that works, but it won't boot into Safe with Command Prompt or Networking. I have tried the Repair my Computer option but that did not fix it. Then I did a System Restore but that did not fix it either. Not sure as to what to do next.
Windows 7 has suddenly started freezing in the boot-up process. The system hangs when it comes to starting two weather-related services - didn't used to be that way. When the weather services don't load, nothing else - IE, MS Outlook - can be started - they hang as well.
I installed Windows 7 32 bit ultimate edition to my acer notebook today. After taking my laptop to my office it didnt boot up. Taking so long to detect a hard drive. But when i press any key, it detect hardisk and boot up properly..
My systems sometimes freezes during the boot process and all I get is black screen.
This happens when the error occurs: BIOS shows up normally Window 7 logo is shown for a brief second black screen
With boot details enabled, I see that drivers are getting loaded until classpnp.sys. After that the screen goes black as well and the system hangs.
Now when I turn on the machine, I get a text screen asking me whether to start normally or run a recovery attempt. Usually starting normally is all it takes and Windows boots up fine. Once Windows is up and running, it's rock solid. No lockups, no BSODs or whatsoever.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to get debug details of this part of the boot process (os loader phase?).
I already switched the SATA Ports, switched to a different brand and even switched to mSATA. So I'm pretty sure it's not the SSD. Using Windows SATA drivers or Intel RST doesn't make a difference either btw.
i just went out buy a brand new gaming computer. Take about 2 hours to hook the thing up and press the power button and expect the greatest, but to my dismay I receive the error "Interactive Login Process Initialization failed". I clicked OK and the box closed, the display (1920x1080) flashes and then the same error appears. I will eventually receive a blue screen then the computer will reboot. Startup Repair yields no results, so I was wondering what are my options. I am going to go back to micro-center tomorrow, but wanted to know if the internet had
making the computer recognise the system drive by using command prompt in recovery options windows 7 dvd. In the recovery options there is no operating system apparently but i know for a fact it is there as i had been on my windows 7 fine until i restarted the comp and then the problems started.
So how can i get windows to recognise where the system partition is.
my PC is refusing to start up. It happened yesterday after the power had flickered, I turned off my computer because the battery it was hooked up to was yelling at me (due to the power flicker). On the startup, my PC just hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data", and then gives me the "DISKBOOT FAILURE, PLEASE INSERT DISC AND PRESS ENTER" to continue shenanigans.
I've cleaned out my computer and have tried unplugging my two external hard-drives, as well as going into the BIOS and making sure the boot order was correct. When I insert a Windows boot disc, it refuses to 'repair' my system because it says there's no specified OS to repair... I thought the problem was that it wasn't recognizing my actual hard-drive, but that doesn't seem to be the case, (I forgot how I got to it but,) it recognized that I had 183/500 GB of space left (as well as being able to view certain files.
I recently was able to get into DOS, where it's listing my main drive as "X:windows\system32". Could this be the problem? If so, how did it reassign it to "X: and why did it do that?!
Running Windows 7 Home Premium. For three days now I have seen nothing but the error Boot Disk Failure when trying to boot up.. I can overcome it by putting the IOS 7 disk in the DVD CD drive and let it boot so that I can then run the repair on the computer. I borrowed an OS 7 install disk and the same thing happens. After a series of checking the system I am informed that nothing wrong was found. If I leave the disk in the drive, even through rebooting, the machine runs just fine. If I take the disk out of the drive, I am dead in the water until I put it back in the drive, reboot and let the tests start over again and all is fine.
I turned the laptop off by holding the power on button depressed for as long as it took to power down.I have done this many times before.This time the laptop will not start windows after power up. Win 7 offers 2 options, normal or startup repair.Both appear to run but stay on permanently and neither will start windows. Tried booting using the repair disk and laptop will not boot from CD. CD spins initially but without booting. Only thing I can see that is not normal is that after several seconds trying to boot the Disk led remains permanently on, at least to my eyes.I have removed the battery, powered up without the battery,tried different repair CD all to no avail.
have an acer aspire one d257 netbook running windows 7 home starter. i had set boot password,hdd password and supervisor password from bios and as soon as i pressed F10 (save & exit) it showed that windows needs some start up repair. now the start up repair is going on and on and thre computer restarts finally it asked for sending problem to microsoft to which i clicked no.now the boot screen shows up and after that it shows windows is loading files and then it shows attempting system repair but the it restarts again and the whole process is repeated (it has happened for more than 5-6 times) .Is there a way i can do system restore (i neither have a dvd drive nor i have a windows dvd-the os came pre installed)

my name is saiju, my system consisting of 160gb storage,3gb ram.......... 4 year old..windows 7 operating system... But the problem is, if i start my computer, it showing 2 choices, one is launch startup repair another is start windows normally,, i can't repaire it.. So many time format it, but same problem continuing.
I just bought new a 60gb SSD and Win 7 64 bit OEM (microsoft official) and when I try to boot the install disk with the SSD connected to the mobo I get a message at boot saying that it failed to boot from the CD and to insert the CD then try again. Needless to say when I reinsert the CD it still says this message.
When I connect my other new HD drive I bought (Western Gate 500GB) the CD boots up the Win 7 install and I can install the OS on that just fine, but that drive is intended to be my secondary and my SSD my primary for the OS.
I set it in my bios so that it boots from my DVD drive first and even disabled booting from the hard disk at all. My SSD shows up in the BIOS, but for whatever reason Win 7 install just WONT work when I have that SSD connected to the mobo.
The SSD is brand new, never been used before. I have no idea if I got a faulty SSD or I'm missing a step somewhere when installing a new OS onto a new SSD?
I am getting this error all the time with Windows 7. I open a text file I want to edit, then go to save my changes and I get this error:"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".I have full admin rights, running Win7 Ultimate x64 SP1. From a bit of research I have seen where many others have been experiencing this problem or something similar too. The only "fix" (that doesn't work all the time) is to close explorer.exe and then restart it to "release the handle"? Anyway, this is not acceptable for all the money and time I spent upgrading/configuring this new OS from XP -where I never had this problem- and seriously cuts down my productivity.Has Microsoft even acknowledged this as a bug yet? I can duplicate this scenario the second or third time I try to edit/save/delete a text file and I know that explorer.exe is the problem or a big part of it in any case. I don't want to go back to XP x64 but having to deal with this headache 10-20 times a day is just too much to ask.The file here is a game's map script & has to be saved to a .pk3 and then loaded into the program's root before it can run so i know othing else is running the file. No apps running in taskmngr either.
