In windows recovery console need id of apple cd

I have a problem with windows xp that requires that I make a command in the Windows Recovery Console in
the form of "expand d:\..." ,for example, where "d" would represent the cd drive.  However  my Mac mini, has
apparently assigned a different letter for its cd.  I looked under My Computer under Mac OS and couldn't really
figure out what letter identifed the cd, but it looked like it could be a "1".  But that doesn't work in Windows either.
Can someone help?
Thanks, Ron

Hi fizz,
It may be just doing what it says, examing the disk, if there are problems it may take a while to come up with the recovery console, but is that what you want?. It is not the repair XP option, which is slightly further on, on the ' do you want to install to X disk, Repair, or quit screen, where R will run the XP CD and repair an installed OS. The recovery console is a DOS command prompt screnn, so you need to know what you want to do, for eg: repair the MBR, by tying at the C:> FIXMBR will build a new MBR on the C: drive.

  • Re: How to access the Windows Recovery Console?

    How can I access the Windows Recovery Console. The Microsoft KBs state that it can be accessessed from booting with the OS DVD. However you don't supply OS DVD only the Toshiba Recovery Disks. When I boot these it only gives the option to erase all data and restore to original state.
    I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10 running Windows 7 32bit.
    The reason I need the recovery console is due to a chkdsk failure that has now lead to it running everytime I boot and hanging each time. Other MS Articals say I can get out of this endless loop by using the Windows Recovery Console.

    Windows 7 was preinstalled soemwhere on HDD when I purchased it new in June 2010. All I had to do was selcet 32bit or 64bit the first time it ran. I then took the option to create recovery media (which burned 4 dVDs). However the only option using these dvds is to run install which the screen states will erase all data and reinstall as supplied from the factory.
    I need to get to some form of access the the HDD which means I need to stop chkdsk running at startup everytime it boots and then hanging every time. I can't access sfae mode either. I need to abort chkdsk get into either a command prompt or windows so I can run other utitlies to check the HDD.

  • My HP Pavilion 775C with Windows XP 32 bit SP3 has begun to startup in Windows Recovery Mode.

    I have had many problems with my Pavilion a775c desktop, running XP 32 Bit with SP3 and 2.5 G Ram.  I was receiving a Fatal Error message 1327 that Drive M did not exist.  I did a selective startup eliminating the programs I thought were causing this but that did not help.  Then I cleaned away all the files for any HP printer, and for my current printer, an  Officejet j3680 All-in-One, and then reinstalled it.  That took care of the fatal error message but I began to get a message that my DRive D was out of memory.  I deleted some regular files that were previously stored on that drive before I increased the memory on my Drive C but I continued to receive that message.  I cleaned the registry with Registry Mechanic and then deleted files I though would not harm the computer and I no longer get the Drive D low on memory message but now the computer starts up each time in recovery mode and If I'm not there to select the Windows XP option it goes to a dos screen but nothing ever happens from there.   I'm not that familiar with DOS and don't know anything except to type EXIT which I did and the computer would reboot giving my an opportunity to select Windows XP.  Now, however, it won't allow me to type EXIT.  I must instead hit enter and then it goes to the screen that allows me to select the Windows environment.  I really don't want to have to do this each time I start up.  Can anyone help?

    I am not that familiar anymore with troubleshooting Windows XP, but way back in the day I seem to recall that the Windows recovery console would be used to fix issues like the one you're describing. It sounds like you may have a corrupted boot sector if it keeps going into the windows recovery mode.  The solution could be as simple as using the last known good configuration or possibly doing a system restore.  You may want to try this link on Technet that explains the recovery console and the tools available in it like fixmbr..

    Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
    When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
    So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

  • Can't access the recovery console after installing the Windows 7 RC

    Hi all,
    I recently installed the Windows 7 RC to give it a go but I've found that it kills my battery life so I decided to go back to vista, however when I press the blue button on start up to access the recovery console I just get a screen that asks me if I want to enter the BIOS or choose another boot location... I used the upgrade option in Windows 7 so I don't see how I could have deleted the partition with the recovery console...
    Is it posible for me to restore my tablet to it's factory settings?

    The install of Win 7 removes the TVT boot manager applet and sets the master boot record to Win 7 partition only.
    The Lenovo supported method of restoring your preload would be thru the use of Recovery CD's.
    You might be able to change the bootable partition from the win 7 partition to the recovery partition, thru some
    3rd party apps.

  • I need to download Apple Application Support package but have not found a site to facilitate that for a Windows 7 PCthis.

    Experienced problems with Itunes and research had me delete several apps.  I have downloaded Itunes but now I need to download Apple Application support. I have tried a couple of addresses found on Google but got a lot of spyware and not what I wanted.  Where is a site that I can download Apple Application support for Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.

    I am trying to install it on my desktop.  I am also in Administrator mode.  My iTunes stopped working when I was notified that there was a new version of iTunes and would I like to download it. I said yes as always and it was unable to finish the update because of a

    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contace the application's suport team for more information.
    My iTunes stopped working at this time.  I thought I could delete iTunes and start over. This tactic did not work.
    Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and help me to get my iTunes back again?

    Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

    Hi
    I have a problem. I have a server with Windows Server 2008 R2 and DPM 2012 SP1. Because of a recent RAID controler crash i am unable to fix this server to boot to windows. I can only get into recovery console. I see the volumes normaly! So here is a million

    Thanks for all your help in advance.

    Hi,
    only Thing you need ist MDF and LDF files from DPMDB.
    Try to copy These two files.
    Install your new Serve with same Name and same DPM version
    Restore DB with SQL Management Studio and overwrite the new and existing one
    present DPM Backupstorage to the new server
    Run dpmsync -sync

  • The latest version of iTunes does not allow me to open a playlist in a separate window.  I need this feature.  Is there another way?  You used to be able to double click a playlist and have it appear in a new window.

    Others have commented on this too.  It seems to be one of the 'improvements' of the newer version you are supposed to embrace with joy as an exciting new development.  You can send feedback to Apple but realize you may be perceived as standing in the path of  progress.

  • Firefox 4 crashes after windows recovery virus /malware infection

    Hello My computer was infected by the "windows recovery " virus/malware when running Firefox 4 with administrator right user . I could get rid of the virus/malware using antivirus and antimalware sw ( superantispyware, antimalwarebytes, spybot and avast ) . Currently , no viruses or malwares are reporetd on my system . Still, when starting firefox.exe , the error message " firefox has encountered a problem and needs to close " is triggered and , although firefox starts and runs OK; it will close whenever a send/don't send option is taken on the error message . If I rename the Firefox.ex exe program into another name, Firefox runs OK and the error message is not triggered .
    I have had superantispyware support run an analysis tool on my system and their feedback was that the infection, if any, can only be viral . I had AVAST run in F8 safe mode and no viruses are reported any longer after desinfection of the system where a couple of exes created by the malware were found/deleted . I tried uninstall/reinstall Firefox 4 and 3, but the problem remains . Also, I have looked for a crash report in the documents and settings folder but finds none . Last, I also tried to start firefox.exe in safe mode but it will not start ( it will well start if I rename firefox.exe into another name )
    Thanks beforehand if you can suggest something to solve this .
    Best regards Pierre W

    Does it help if you create a new profile or uninstall and reinstall Firefox?
    If you reinstall Firefox then be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove possibly left over files in it.
    You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:

  • I have an ipod touch 4g. I want to use our internet hdtv as a monitor so others can see my screen in 40". Sony guy said that can do it wirelessly through the internet router instead of Hdmi without the need for an apple tv.Is this true and how do I do it?

    As I said above, I want to view my iPod screen on our new 40" Sony Internet full HD TV.
    I know that you can do this via HDMI but a Sony guy said that you should be able to do this wirelessly by going through the router. Is this true and can I do this without the need for the Apple TV?
    We are soon going to get the airport extreme, so will it work with that?

    1. Is it a smart TV?
    2. If so.... Is the TV connected to the Internet?
    3. If it is.... Check if your iPod and your TV share the same IP address (Wi-Fi network)
    4. If they do.... Then you should go to wherever your "Other Media" tab is.
    5. After that.... Search for you iPod. Because it is connected to the same network, it should recognize the device they same way AirPrint does.
    6. If you happen to see this fail, then try this method:
    1. Do you have a Bluetooth-enabled computer/laptop?
    2. If so.... Enable the bluetooth on the computer/laptop as well as your iPod.
    3. After that.... Your iPod should be actively searching and it should find the computer/laptop.
    4. If it did.... Transfer the file onto Windows/Mac (preferably Mac) and find the program to open the file.
    5. After doing so.... Connect your computer/laptop to the TV via HDMI Output Cable.
    6. Now it should work!
