[chevaughnswaby]

Please help me...

When in Tiny Hexer, and click "Save As", nothing happens, and when I click "Save", it says:

System Error. Code: 5.

Access is denied.

What should I do to fix this?

[KonstancyOfficial]

Hey when i type in NTLDR and click find it says that it didnt find it...Any suggestions? I dont see BOOTMGR or anything as the top comment suggested..

[BikerGamer1987]

[rudolfhansen]

download flashboot.exe and rc.iso (ca. 7MB) via google

than open flashboot and wrap iso to usb as shown

bootrec /fixmbr

bootrec /fixboot via win7 dvd

------------------------------­-------

for win7 simply copy folder "BOOT" or repaIR BY OVERWRITE THE

THE FILE

"bcd" inside with the backup "BCD.backup.001* correct size is 24576k

this causes the error 00000*

Hey Britec09,

I tried this out with a 2gb usb that says DataStick PRO on it. I did as you instructed on the video and when I got to the 'NTLDR' part... it tells me, "The data has not been found in the currently edited sector(s). Search the following sector(s)?" and I can choose 'yes', 'no', 'yes to all' and 'help'. Can you help me figure this out? Thanks.

[12345pph]

I tried this on my 2GB sandisk cruzer in I got to the point that you type in NTLDR into the data search in I press find in it said no data found in the sector can you help.

[Filipinotundah808]

can you do this with VISTA? and do you have to change anything

[LeBearUK]

Worked great and easy to follow, thank you, subscribed

[jonthin]

i tired this and it didn't work, it say NTLDR is missing. this is for a Dell Inspiron 1501. please help.

[jammmon]

INVALID DISK :(

[SuperChairmanMeow]

Save as doesn't work for me, I click it and nothing happens. Any ideas?

[SuperChairmanMeow]

Would be helpful if you told us where to get these files that seem to have magically appeared in the folder you made.

[PokeLover3500M]

Please help me! I can get into the recovery console but I don't know what to do from there?

[Alexboooom]

@PokeLover3500M same over here....it says to type exit and restart....but this won't fix anth..

[ROCKLee310]

Why won't it let me SAVE?! This is BullCrap for Me... Am iThe only one this doesn't SAVE For?!

[cancer124]

[imduffy10]

I do believe this video was made based on my instructions at hxxp://tuts4tech(dot)net/2009/­07/14/creating-a-usb-bootable-­xp-recovery-console/ if you guys want to check it out there is an updated version of the recovery console with all SATA drivers added and the tutorial was updated to support sticks larger than 4gb

[fwchang]

After some troubleshooting..

For those who see BOOTMGR instead of NTLDR here is what to do:

1. In TinyHexer, completely overwrite BOOTMGR with NTLDR & 2 spaces for the additional characters.

2. Do a Save (NOT Save As) back the boot record.

3. Replace NTLDR with CMLDR (as per original instructions).

4. Now Save As a file USBLDR to your USB drive.

It should work perfectly now.

Hope this helped, & great work Britec.

[Britec09]

@fwchang Your welcome and thanks for letting other know

[PivotMaker121]

@fwchang How would you overwrite BOOTMGR

[EkBlu14]

@fwchang When I try to replace BOOTMGR with (NTLDR ) it says invalid hex data...?

[hautausurakoitsija]

Thank you, sir! Your instructions may have just saved my arse!

[AlchemistxBankai]

when i click save as, nothing shows up. Please replay asap. Thnaks

[maddmax007]

I can't "save as" but I can save the file... The program doesn't do anything when I click save as.

[kiwishovel]

Your a legend brother, Im on holiday in the states tomorrow and netbook died today. Spent most of day trying to fix. just run chkdsk /r. hope this works.

cheers Geez.

[MikeHF]

I am running Vista and it will not allow me to "Save as". I select "save as"and it does nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks

[INzNI]

i got it working!! i did not use the hpusbfw.exe, instead i used RMPrepUSB.exe and was able to boot on windows xp.

[INzNI]

Hey Britec

NTLDR does not show up when i search for it. I think its because im running this on Vista. The place where NTLDR is supposed to be is replace with BOOTMGR... please help, i can't boot with a cd as my cdrom is busted.

[roughhombre]

HEY BRITEC

I have tried this before with 100% success. this time (same system) when i tired it the screens i get on the recovery console are totally different! it wants me to say which installation of windows (only answer it will accept is '1') and wants system administrator password. i have tired all the passwords and have no clue what it might be. dont recall ever setting up this password. last time i used your solution i simply typed "chkdsk" into the prompt and it worked. any idea what todo?

[Britec09]

just use password recovery tool to reset password.

[karlalopezpk]

@Britec09 I can't save as not sure why.

[karlalopezpk]

@karlalopezpk i tried this on my other computer a windows xp home edition and it worked im thinking it doesnt work with windows xp 7

[fwchang]

@roughhombre This happens because the 1st time you ran the recovery console, your Windows installation disk was corrupted & inaccessible. Once you used chkdsk to fix it, & ran recovery console a 2nd time it became mountable & will look for the admin password. If your Windows installation was done via a Sysprep image then the password keys are stored differently in registry & Recovery Console will always ask you for the password.

[fwchang]

@roughhombre The 1st time you ran recovery console, the primary disk was corrupted & inaccessible. After it was fixed with chkdsk, it became accessible & mountable. Therefore running recovery console a 2nd time it now asks the disk to mount. If the windows installation was prepared from a SysPrep image, then the password keys are stored differently in registry & it will always asks for an admin password even if you had not set up one.

[Britec09]

I knew there was a problem with some pen drives but did not know why, so thanks for letting me know why it some dont work, cheers for your input.

[Britec09]

I downloaded it and it worked ok for me. you must be doing somthing wrong.

[Britec09]

are you doing it right because if you dont find ntldr its not going to work.

[azimech4989]

[sindakit69]

hey thanks for the vid I have hal.dll prob on netbook but i'm having a problem with hardware.

I tried using 'hpusbfw' to locate my pendrive but its not showing in drop down menu, its a sony walkman 2GB, will i need a new pendrive or is there anyway i can go thru the process on a virtual drive (demon tools etc.) then copy the files onto pendrive and use that to boot or will that mess up the pc the virtual drives on?

[Britec09]

some pen drives don't work for some reason, you can pick up a cheap one now days.

[bingobilly22]

Hi, Followed instructions to the letter (twice) but when I install the USB drive and start up, I get the error message "No bootable partition in table". Any ideas? I have no CD ROM drive to install from.

Thanks

[Britec09]

might be your thumbdrive try another one

[NatralisticPantheist]

I got to... Which of the following installation would you like to log onto (To cancel, press ENTER)? the only option appearing is 1: E:/WINDOWS

...I click one but nothing happens

my error was windows/system32/config/system is missing or corrupt...

What should I do?

Thanks

[ad333]

hi i followed the video and put the usb in my laptop that has the hal.dll trying to start the recovery consol but when i had the usb boot it said remove disks or other media press any key to restart? did i do something wrong/

[Britec09]

did you change the boot order in bios to boot to usb first device?

[ad333]

yes and that message popped up telling me to romove disks. i have a mini laptop without a cd rom drive thats why im trying to get the usb to work

[ikuzeexodia]

Thanks for posting this. Works like a charm

[Britec09]

yeah works great bit slow but comes in very handy

[Britec09]

Ok best thing to do is use UBCD4WIN works in same way just build your own cd theres a video I made check it out.

[AnimeAnge125]

when i use the hpusbfw.exe, it gives me ERROR: Volume too big

what does that mean?

[Britec09]

Are you trying to format the right drive? with FAT? maybe your trying to format your big drive in FAT which will give you a error Volume Too Big

[Britec09]

yeah give it a go

[ChRiSC0Ntreras]

Mine says "NTLDR: Fatal error 1 reading BOOT.INI" What do I do now?

[Britec09]

try copying it over again from the start, you must of done something wrong

[roughhombre]

this just saved my computer. thanks so much. i waded through sooo much other bullshit until I found this. it worked in one try.

2 different stores told em to give up and just wipe the drive or that my drive was toast. lazy asses I say!!

[Britec09]

I really glad it worked out for you, and thanks for your kind words. i try not to format unless i really have to.
