Reinstalling Doesn't Boot From Disc - Video And Pic Included
Jul 25, 2008
Trying to fix my friends computer thought I would be done in an hour or so but I ran into a retarded problem when trying to boot from the windows cd. Here is some information I know off the top of my head. If you have any input please let me know, I'm trying to get this done before tonight since its Friday
When I purchased my lap top from Dell 2.5 years ago I made a backup OS CD. The computer did not come with the xp disc. I need to re-install the OS now-computer is slow, sluggish and just acting down right weird. I know its time, so as I gathered up the gutts to do this but when I popped in the cd and began the process it asked for the key number. I dont have that because I made the disc. I just followed the directions when I bought the computer. Now what do i do? I would rather purchase and upgrade to vista but when I ran the program to see if I could, there were some issues, plus its getting old and needs more memory, ram etc. Sooo this is the next best thing untill I breakdown and get a new PC.
WinXP w/sp1 keeps all jobs printed to a HP 4250 LaserJet, on standard TCP/IP port, and when it's turned on in the morning it starts all over again. Every day. PC is in a 2003 domain. Have tried reinstalling the printer, TCP/IP protocol, Windows files (SFC)
I can't get the streaming videos to work when viewing pages from the internet. I have installed QuickTime 7.0.3. Instead of seeing the videos, a faded QuickTime symbol with a question mark appears. I am assuming that there is a plug-in problem, but can't seem to get it to work. I tried reinstalling Macromedia Flash as well, but it does not install properly. I get an error message asking me to make sure I am connected to the internet, when I already am.
I have a Windows XP home SP2 computer that has a Sony DVD RW DW-D22A that supposedly supports both -R and +R. Well I bought a stack of 100 Blank DVD-R and less than 1/2 way through the stack they turned into lousy DVD's. Both for DVD movies and data storage they wouldn't work. I would get this CRC check sum error message. I contacted the manufacturer and sent in a few samples and they replaced them - sent me two stacks of 50 - nice company. Well I just burned a data disc and my computer doesn't recognize anything being on the disc - I even get the "You have inserted a blank cd/dvd window" thing on my screen. I then tried to burn a dvd movie using a different program and that program doesn't even recognize a disc being in the drive (yes I did put in a fresh dvd before I started the program).
I had 8mm tapes professionally transferred to discs. Now I want to transfer the video from my disc to my desktop so I can use one of the movie editing programs. I have Windows XP. I was guessing that I had to copy and paste? When I try this I get an error message stating Windows does not support this type of disc. It is a regular DVD disc so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Tried opening a video file that was changed from MSWMM in Movie Make towmv.Previous files opened when I changed them to WMV. This iswhat I get when I try to open file: "Unrecognized format for 'D:Documents and Settings(name of file).wmv'".
when i try to play news clips on msnbc.msn the player appears with the loading message at the bottom. it just sits there, but doesn't load and play the video. i can go to othe sites, ie, Internet, and it plays fine. i know this sounds like a missing codec, but it's hard to believe that ms wouldn't already have that codec loaded to play clips from msn. i can play them on my destop pc, winxp pro, wmp10, without additonal codecs. i upgraded the laptop to wmp11, but that didn't work, so i rolled back to wimp10.
hey anyone remember that boot disc that had everything and it also had a mouse function in it? it was like boot magic or something i cant really remember. I only remember it had 2 versions one was the floppy which was free and the other you had to pay for the cd version
I have just recently gotten a new computer which came with Vista. Previously what I have done with any new operating system I got was installed it into my old computer. However, I came to find out you can only have one computer assigned to each cd, unless I wanna buy another one, which is unecessary. I wanted to get rid of Vista and return to XP but the XP disc would not install because of multiple errors, such as missing ntldr.
I currently have XP on the first partition, and I later added Vista on another partition as a dual boot.For various reasons, I need to reinstall XP. That involves formatting the first partition and installing a clean XP.It just occurred to me that doing that might mess up the dual boot functionality.Should I be concerned, and if so, what can I do to avoid the problem?
Just wiped my hard drive clean and am trying to reinstall OS but get a Disk Boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. When i add the cd it just repeats Disk Boot failure, insert system disk and press enter. Have wiped my hard drive before and haven't had this problem. The boot order is correct in the BIOS and i havent touched any cables.
I am running XP home on my Acer notebook. I installed 2 drivers from AMD website to update my Turion 2.0 processer. On restart I got the error message for Hal.dll. I been searching for a while now and can only find help that involve using the XP CD. I've been trying to boot the disc, but it won;t. I can't get past the hal.dll error.
I have this problem with my pc and it keeps restarting after the windows loading screen so i want to format the hardrive the only problem is that there are important files on there and am wondering if i could make some of disc floopy or CD that i could boot to and move all my important files to my 2ndry hardrive installed in the machine
I'm sure this has been asked 100 times before but my computer randomly shuts itself down so I don't really have the time to look for it. I need to reinstall Windows XP. I want to do a clean install. I have the disc and the reg code. What I don't have is the BOOT FROM DISC option!! How do I get it or how do I do it?
i have a custom computer build, working fine for a year and a half, system crashed while online. inserted windows XP system/boot disc, goes to mobo screen, goest to a blank screen. shows press any key to boot from cd. then verifying/inspecting system components etc. then a blank screen, system wont do anything.
I was overclocking my cpu cause i replaced the stock fan with a cooling system and while i was overclocking i got a blue screen. So, i rebooted my comp and it says a file is missing or corrupt ( forgot what file something windows/system/config) and told me to repair it. and it wont let me use my windows xp disc. I set my cd-rom to 1st priority, im posititve my cd drives work, and the cd has only been used twice so im pretty sure it cant be that.
I need to wipe clean the hard disc on a desktop. It currently has XP-Home installed, which was an upgrade from ME. The ME files were erased from the desktop after installation of XP. After formatting I assume I will need an MS-DOS bootup disc to install ME; install ME and then upgrade to XP-Home. If my assumptions are correct how can I create a bootup disc for ME? I am hoping that someone has a simpler method than I have outlined.
I am trying to slipstream XP Pro & SP2 I did it all according to plan, the disc burned with no errors but it will not boot the system. When I look at the disc it looks like an ordinary XP disc, but when I put it in system it says PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. Am I missing something, I did it last year with no problems; also I can�t remember how to put the key in automatically.
My computer crashed about a month ago and I had to use a recovery disc to restore my original system.. Everything works fine except when I boot up and following the Sony logo and Intel logo the following message appears "Press F11 for Acronis Startup Recovery Manager. Acronis fatal error Boot drive (partition) not found. Press Enter to try to boot your PC." Pressing enter boots up the PC fine but how can I eliminate the process? I had Acronis on both drives before the crash but it no longer exists.
I had Windows 7 installed on my laptop Dell Vostro 860, 2GB RAM, that after 2 months crashed. It gave me a black screen with"bootmgr is compressed press ctrl+alt+del to restart" that could not be fixed fast because I had lent my Win7 to someone who is far from me at the moment.I had the brilliant ideea to install Windows XP (since I had the CD).Everything went well up until the point when, during the installation it told me that it couldn't copy a file from the CD and the option to skip or try again. I skipped it since "try again" didn't do anything. I thought it couldn't do much harm. I got to the blue screen with the green bullets, progress bar and 39 minutes left when I got this error that said that windows can't continue and restarts the comp.
I have a problem booting up my other PC, it's been happening quite often, sometimes it boots up but sometimes it just simply doesnt... it gets stuck with a message "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" can anyone tell me what I should do to fix this problem?
i have recently downloaded boot editor and as it did not work the first time i uninstalled it, this was yesterday. Today i turned my pc on and the system speaker beeped and it didnt even show the first loadup screen that says energy at the top.

I'm looking to purchase a notebook and learned a XP Home CD or a Bootable CD isn't included. XP Home is already installed. Isn't a XP CD needed to load uninstalled XP features plus to insert at various times when prompted? Also, can a bootable CD be purchased? If both are purchased at retail, would they be compatible with the installed version of XP Home and with the keycode differences? To be prepared for maintenance, what is needed to support XP Home?
I want to reinstall Window XP on my computer. I have Microsoft office 2002 installed, but I don't have the installation CD.How can I reinstall Microsoft office after I reinstall Windows XP without the CD?
