By pulling the hard drive, do you mean to open the machine, physically take it out, and attach it to another computer? That sounds like really involved. I don't think I have enough technical knowledge to complete such a risky procedure.
I would suggest that you run startup repair on the computer using the Vista DVD and check if it works. If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart boot your computer using the installation disc.
If you do not restart your computer from the disc, the option to repair your computer will not appear. Insert the installation disc. Restart your computer. Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the Lock button, and then click Restart. If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc. Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or DVD, check the information that came with your computer.
You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions. Choose your language settings , and then click Next. Click Repair your computer. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next. Refer the below link for more information. Visit our Microsoft Answers Feedback Forum and let us know what you think.
I genuienly wish I could use your advice to reboot the the computer using an installation disc or execute a startup repair. The windows logo does not even appear, needless to say you cannot access to the welcome screen, where it asks for password, or the desktop. Is my computer seriously damaged? I don't think it is a virus issue because I have a working Norton Security Suit which always give a warning when it detected a suspicious element.
I'm still looking for a solution. If anybody has had a similar issue and has it resolved, please help me. Damaged installations resulting from file corruption can happen any time. Most times the system can get past this by replacing damaged files, but sometimes it affects the system's ability to load. As you've already tried the repair options, your next logical step it to try running the system file check sfc that I mentioned.
If you don't have the means to remove the drive to recover data, I would suggest employing the services of a local technician for assistance in preserving data. But how to go to the recovery environment? Do you mean Safemode with Command Prompt? If so I cannot gain access to that as I have tried repeatedly. I have a Dell Inspiron , which a couple of weeks ago I was copying some pictures off a camera card via a card reader hub and the power fluctuated in the apartment.
The lights flickered and dimmed three times in about 10 secs. The next day the laptop kept freezing up a few minutes after opening Internet Explorer. I started it in smart mode, it ran checkdisk, still no better. I had the recovery disks that I made after buying it and was able to restore it to starting conditions, but still it would hang up. Initial google searches suggested it might be corrupted OS files and a checkdisk would fix it.
It would still hang up. I started Windows off my recovery disk, had it do a repair. I thought I was home free, I used Internet explorer, defragged hard drive, closed and opened things. It seemed like everything was fine, so I tried to reinstall my Kaspersky, which was going fine right up until the last sliver of the installation bar and then it froze. I was able to run some diagnostics from BIOS and got the status 78 hard disk error, which google searches said it was a sign the HD is going or already gone.
So my question is : Is this just a hardware issue? Will a new HD fix it, or is there a problem with my windows? My important files were backed up, so losing the old drive is not a big deal. Please help me solve this problem. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Sign in to vote. Basically, last night my computer froze. I reebooted it and logged back into muser account, and 30 secs after starting up the side bar freezes.
So I go to right click bottom bar to get task manager, and it never appears. Now my sidebar and bottom bar are frozen. Now, I'll right click the destop and now the whole computer is frozen apart from the mouse. After a couple of tries it continues. Starting in safe mode works fine. Now after leaving my laptop over night off at stat up an error screen pops up saying: Google Desktop Sidebar One or more of the following gadget s raised an exception and was terminated abnormally: Analog clock Do you wish to disable the following gadget s When I clicked yes..
Something tells me that ONLY my sidebar is causing this, but I do't know why, never had any problems. And I haven't downloaded any different gadgets for it, and only used the ones that came with the laptop.
So any idesa to this problem?? Saturday, February 6, AM. Hi, Have you try clean boot?
