Always take and keep a backup of a working System Restore Point onto a CD-rom or USB-unit.
You never know when your computer goes down due to hardware failure or more likely a virus attack. A boot sector corruption can be restored and the computer works again if you in DOS, copy over intializtion files from your Windows CD to the registry but it requires some knowledge.
What's messed up is I don't have a Windows XP disc because my Acer Aspire One didn't come with one. I paid for recovery disks, but you can't go to a dos prompt and do anything. I've tried to wipe out everything and start over. I had installed joli os but there still is a grub partition apparently.
When u go to recovery console type format if ur harddrive already has a os win xp then type exit let your CPU reboot then go to boot ur cd then wait for it to load then hit enter to install windows
A fractured/broken mbr(master boot sector). You can fix this by either doing the startup recovery etc. but it's easier(and less of a hassle cause startup repair reverts your windows back to the very first version, meaning you have to re-update) to boot into CMD only and use either bootfix for fixmbr, it's quicker and less of a hassle. To make sure you have a broken boot sector, try booting into safe mode. In most cases it will let you.
I am having the same problem please tell me what to do>? It formats 100% copies 100% and when restarting it doesn't goes to the second part but starts formatting again and again.
@SuperErin2 Windows setup copies all necessary files, computer restarts. You are once again asked to press any key to enter setup, DO NOT(cause you have already copied everything necessary) press any key. Windows will boot up normally and continues installing and setting up windows. It will restart again, booting up into windows, setting up services and the WinXP introduction screen starts. And done.
When you press R to access the recovery console, you are looking at a command prompt. For a list of commands, type help and press enter. In most cases, I will use the recovery console to repair XP. Instead of typing exit, type chkdsk /r and press enter. It will take a while, but eventually you will see results of a repair operation that has taken place.
To fix blue screen of death read both of my comments. Wait but before u read my comment below make sure to type a number that us next to your computer ( usally 1 ) there may be more than 1 but make sure to choose windows.
One way to do this is to.. Type cd c: (back slash) click enter then type chkdsk and click enter wait for it to load then type chkdsk forward slash p ( /p. ) wait for it to finish then type exit. Pc will reboot. If u have the blue screen of death this should fix that. It did for me
My computer turns on and right before It starts loading the windows xp It says
intel(r) boot agent version 4.1.08
copyright (c) 1997-2002, intel corporation
PXE-E61: media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: exiting intel boot agent
operating system not found
can you please respond quickly to tell me what this means? I have been looking for hours to find out what this means and havnt found anything useful. Thank you.
I'm having the same problem your having. I deleted my partition. and tried to create a new one. but it only loads at 20%. then unable to continues. I tried turning drives on in the Bios & it made no difference.External drive wont detect the OEM in it. my Console is Corrupted. Help
No, man you don't do that, when you get the section to type in command mode you need to run it with r option and or with p option, what a waste of time.... Why do you title your upload solution found, you found nothing man, you just want people to watch your video.
my problem is everytime i try to format my other com when it gets to 100% of formatting it says disk damaged and cant format and something about SCSI?please HELP!
lol. don't press the enter key because it will initiate the cd-rom again. See the meesage, if any when booting normally. LMAO. Note, you wouldn't be the only one that did that so don't feel bad. lol
Try recovery console, select 1 and the admin password. if none, press enter. You should then see command prompt. Type chkdsk /p, then type exit. Once the pc starts do not press enter otherwise you'll end up going through the set up process all over again. Just let it boot normally and see what you get. I'm assuming, but if it doesn't boot up to the operating system, there should be a message of the reason usually a missing or corupt file that needs replacing.
ok im gonna be in SO much trouble my dad is gonna kill me i turned on his pc this morning and it said error loading operating system i thought i could fix it some how then i heard the HDD it is starting up clicking then stops and keeps repeating last time i heard this noise was on my 1TB HDD and it happened because the the thing that started the disk spinning in the HDD was blown im probbaly gonna be kicked outta home even thow i diddent cause it im always blamed fro technical problems :::(
Slightly different from my experience but information all should know. 1: Same error message. 2: Changed BIOS Boot order to CD drive. 3: Ran same as video. 4: Pressed R for recovery. 5: Never got an option for pressing 1. 6: Typed "fixmbr" 7: Typed "exit" 8: Same as 3-5 9: Typed "fixboot" 10: Typed "exit" Viola! Back in business.
Hi the sloution is go is bios setup (Press DEL or F2) then change the hard disk settings ie SATA to IDE then ur PC will detect ur hard disk then u can repair or install OS . this is the solution. it works 100%
When i press enter on "Floppy" in the Boot Menu, it verifies the DMI pool data, but after that it just sais the same thing as always: Error loading operating system. What is it that i'm doing wrong??
If u werent' givin the option 2 choose the recovery for the OS is b/c u dont have another OS on ur machine, it does the choice 4 u automatically. I have Win2k Pro, and WinXP Home Edition on my bro's machine, and the Win2k Pro w/ SP4 wouldn't boot, and the recovery console didn't work. Gr8 solution, i should rem'ber that solution. thanks :D
at 0.01 under the boot menu i cant use the up / down / pgup / pgdwn to select the option to boot ... !! so do i nid to insert the xp-cd to cdrom and i select the CDROM to boot? to procce ?
i am getting an error at 0:32 that "usbenrch.dll" file missing press enter to continue. when i press enter it shows press any key to re start. what should i do. i have changed my cd ROM. & with that same cd i have formatted my second system but there it shows no error. is there any way to resolve my problem. or any other way to format.
are you able to boot up normally and see the desktop? if so, when there do you see a series of abc.xyz bad image boxes that reference the missing dll file you said?
What follows is not recommended and only worked for me, which means I don't know nor can I state with any confidence that it will work for you in other words proceed at your own risk. Do you have access to another pc running the same operating system? I wound up copying the referenced dll not a vaild windows image from my other
cont. xp computer, went to the problem computer copied the problem file to another hard drive just in case, then copied the file from the good xp computer to the problem one and the dll not a valid windows image went away. Now my computer works much better, but not perfect.
Again, I don't know if you are able to get to your desktop. If you can't then what i described prob won't work for you
i am getting an error at 0:32 that "usbenrch.dll" file missing press enter to continue. when i press enter it shows press any key to re start. what should i do. i have changed my cd ROM. & with that same cd i have formatted my second system but there it shows no error. is there any way to resolve my problem. or any other way to format.
