PC hangs after upgrade Windows 8 PE to Windows 8.1

Couple of days after upgrading to Windows 8.1 I received the error message
File: \BCD
Errorcode: 0xc0000098
Press ESC for UEFI-firmware-settings.
PC doesn't boot any longer.
I ran following commands successfully :
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /scanos
but while running bootrec /rebuildbcd I get the message :
Total identified Windows installations : 1
[1] c:\windows
Add installation to boot list ? Yes <Y>/No <N>/All<A>
When choosing the option <A> I get "volume does not contain a recognized file system.

Hello @WSIM,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue with the Master Boot Record on your computer running Windows 8.1. Now you stated that you did the following:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
I think you should repeat the process, but include the 'bootrec /rebuildbcd' at the end and then restart the computer
If after doing this you still cannot install your operating system I would suggest you call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html.

  • HP Media Center PC m1050e - Can't connect to internet after upgrade from XP to Windows 7

    My desktop PC with Windows 7 will not connect to the internet after upgrading from XP to Windows 7 Home Premium.  This upgrade actually required saving files and a fresh install of Windows 7.  When getting Router support help to load a new driver, I keep getting a an error message "Realtek Network Contoller Was Not Found".  They say it's an issue that HP will need to help resolve.  Can anyone help?

  • T430u hangs after upgrading to Windows 8.1

    Hi, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 my Lenovo T430u started to freeze on some applications (specially ms Excel 2013). Sometimes the network connection was lost.
    I did a clean install of Windows 8.0 and after downloading and reinstalling all drivers everything was working perfectly. Until I upgraded to Windows 8.1 again. 
    Now I'm having the exact same issues than I had when I first upgraded to Windows 8.1. I have installed all OS patches as suggested by Windows Update.
    Is there any Windows 8.1 OS image that I can download from Lenovo that is tested for my machine? Or should I go back and reinstall Windows 8.0 and live with it?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - my data had better not be gone!  Why won't Apple address this problem?

  • Iphoto hangs after upgrading to Yosemite and latest iPhoto version

    It tells me the library needs upgrading, and starts to search the library. The progress bar suggests something is happening then hangs after about 99% completion. I have had to force close twice after several hours stuck at that point and then start the whole process from scratch when I restart.

    Have you followed these instructions - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/rebuilding%20a%20corrupted%20iphoto%20li brary.html
    iPhoto Library Manager > Help > Rebuilding a corrupted iPhoto library

    Rebuilding a corrupted iPhoto library
    If you have an iPhoto library that is corrupt and causing iPhoto to crash or otherwise be unusable, iPhoto Library Manager provides the ability to rebuild your library based on the information found in its library data files. Note that iPhoto also has a built-in rebuild function that can be sometimes be used to repair a corrupted library database. You can find instructions on how to use that on Apple's website at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638 (iPhoto 6 or later) or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2042 (iPhoto 5 or earlier).
    iPhoto Library Manager's rebuild works differently, in that instead of trying to repair the library in place, it creates a brand new library and tries to reimport the entire contents of the original library into the new one, including reconstructing albums, photo metadata, etc. Note that rebuilding a library has all the same limitations as other photo transfer operations as far as what can and can't be copied between libraries. Also, depending on how badly damaged the library is, iPhoto Library Manager may or may not be able to piece together some or all of the library metadata.
    To start a rebuild, select the library you would like to rebuild, then choose the "Rebuild Library" item from the "Library" menu. You will be prompted to choose a location for the rebuilt library, and whether or not you want iPLM to scavenge orphaned photos it finds in the library package. Once you've made your choices, iPLM will examine the library and rebuild the library structure and photos as best it can, then display you a preview of what it was able to find. If your library is badly damaged and the preview is missing a lot of content from the original library, this can save you from going through with a rebuild that won’t end up being of much help.
    Once you've had a chance to examine the preview, if you want to go forward and create the rebuilt library, click the "Rebuild" button in the upper right. iPhoto Library Manager will create a new library and start importing the contents of the original library into the new one.
    Scavenging photos
    In some cases, either the iPhoto library database is too damaged for iPhoto Library Manager to be able to salvage any information from it, or the library data is incomplete and there are photos that still exist inside the library package, but iPhoto has lost track of them. In these cases, you may want to check the "Scavenge orphaned photos" checkbox when choosing a location for the rebuilt library. After iPhoto Library Manager has read the library data as best it can, it will perform an additional pass through the package and locate any photos that are no longer referenced in the library database. Any additional photos that are found will be included in the rebuild, and a new "Scavenged Photos" album will be created in the rebuilt library containing any scavenged photos.

  • Tpnotify with TPACK flag hangs after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c RP020

    Hi,
    We are experiencing issues with tptonify with TPACK flag set after upgrading to Tuxedo 12c. Looks like tpnotify is not returned or reporting errors. Is there anything to do with "009. Bug16506218 - TPNOTIFY WITH TPACK FLAG THROW OUT EXCEPTION"? Is there any documentation about the new flag TPACK_INTL?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    If all you have done is upgrade to Tuxedo12 the behavior should be the same. The TPACK flag definition is:
    "The request is sent and the caller blocks until an acknowledgement message is received from the target client"
    Is there any additional change(e.g. in your client) you have made?
    What Tuxedo version are you upgrading from?
    The bug 16506218 fix was for a jolt client exception and a JSH failure.
    Do you see an error or is the process which executes tpnotify() just hanging/blocking waiting for the ack message?
    The flag that you mention is actually an undocumented customer requested enhancement that went into Tuxedo 10.3.
    Are you using it? Using it changes the tpnotify() behavior dependent upon the client status.
    Regards,
    Bob Finan

  • Sync hangs after upgrade to iTunes 9

    After upgrading to iTunes 9.1.0.79 from 8.xx last week I have been unable to sync Outlook contacts and Calendar - sync hangs and never completes.
    iPhone 3GS on 3.1.3
    (No other changes made to laptop at the time - direct issue with upgrade to iTunes 9)
    Spend 1:45 on phone with Apple Support last week - very helpful - but no fix, and frustrated. (Have case number) Removed all Apple Apps - reinstalled, looked for list of DLL's on my PC etc during the call.
    Any new ideas to resolve will be gratefully rec'd, or fix from Apple.
    Many Thanks.

    I have very similar symptoms after upgrade to iTunes 9.1. During sync of Calendars (or if Calendars disabled, during iPhone backup step), Outlook hangs & sync never completes. Outlook stays hung, and hangs again if I kill and restart, until I reboot. Hugely frustrating.

  • Safari hangs After upgrade to 10.5.6

    After I upgraded to 10.5.6 last night I have been unable to use Safari. Safari just hangs after imediately opening. Firefox works just fine. Anybody having this issue after the OS upgrade? I am at a loss of what to do.
    Thanks,
    Matthew

    I had the same issue after instilling a security update. (Running 10.5.6 already)
    Safari would simply hang when trying to load websites with external resources such as CSS and SWF files - Google lagging such resources, worked perfectly - But navigating to other websites would lock up the browser. To solve the issues I tried the following;
    - Running software update again, installing everything missing.
    - Downloading and reinstalling Safari manually
    - Downloading and reinstalling newest version of flash.
    - Downloading newest build of webkit - which also locked up.
    - Rebooting (Doh)
    Nothing of the above worked; then I found this thread and noticed one thing I had not tried - Resetting safari!
    Started safari and hit ESC immediately to stop safari loading anything.
    Safari -> Reset Safari -> Check all checkboxes -> Reset.
    Success; this message is written using my new working Safari!
    In hindsight I should have reset each of the options separately to narrow down the bug. But I was not in a debugging mood at the time.

  • PE7 Edit functions Not Working well after Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

    My PE 7 was working very well under Vista Home Premium - 64 Bit. But after I upgraded (not clean install) to Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bit, it appears that the PE7 is working OK except for the EDIT functions.
    I am talking about the Tool Icons on the left side. When I select any icon, the Mouse Curser does NOT chnage to reflect the proper shape. For example, when I click the Crop Tool, my mouse curser chnages to 3 little (tiny) crop icons in a row, and the crop functions don't work like they should.
    Can anyone please help as to waht I need to do to correct this situation.
    Thank you.

  • After upgrading from Vista to Windows 7, Firefox lost all my stored passwords, never asks to save them, even though I've checked box for saving them, have made sure history is not cleared, and am not in Private Browsing.

    In Windows 7, Firefox 8.0 does not ask to save passwords, and does not save, them, even though I checked the box to save passwords. I have confirmed that clearing history is not on and that I am not in Private Browsing. This is so frustrating, it almost makes me want to go back to Vista. I have looked at all the suggestions to fix the problem in "Help" and have followed the suggestions, and none of them help.

    I have the TX2 1012NR and its can upgrade just fine!  Here is a few recommendations "only if u have the HP Upgrade program disks"
    If you have them you can install a clean copy and delete everything... Do not use the use me first disk included because it prompts you to install an older BIOS....  Just use the windows 7 upgrade disk and start the process.  The clean install clears your entire drive but does not void your warranty!   When you use the use me first disk after the install it actually loads everything else needed to get you up in running.  The touchscreen driver and the HP Mediasmart programs will have to be downloaded from the HP support site.  Once again its recommended that if there were any programs installed delete them do not try to update them!  This causes issues and countless errors.  Specifically with touchscreen drivers etc uninstall them before installing the ones from HP support.  I found this was not the easy way to do it but the best way...  I also recommend that when doing any sort of BIOS update that you remove your Battery and leave it connected to a power cord only!  Last but not least if you really mess up and its under warranty... Send it to HP they will set it back up to factory defaults under Windows Vista with the more up to date BIOS installed.  I hope my information helps! Sure you might loose some programs but in the end your computer runs faster and smoother because all the programs installed are made for Windows 7....  Also they did release the Touch Pack for download from the Microsoft website here is a link telling more about the features and benefits and how to get it as it is a totally free download...

  • Need to Re-activate CS4 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (32 bit)

    I have a laptop running Vista 32-bit with Lightroom 2.7 and Photoshop CS4 installed.  I'm planning to upgrade the computer from Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 32-bit, upgrading in place to avoid having to reformat and reinstall all the software.  Will Photoshop still be activated after the upgrade or will I need to re-activate it?  If I need to reactivate, will the OS change make the activation process think the software has been moved to a new computer?  It is currently activated on two machines (one of which is this laptop) as it is and don't want the activation wizard to think I'm putting it on third machine in violation of the license.  Should I de-activate it before upgrading the OS and then re-activate once the system upgrade is complete?  After the OS change I plan to upgrade the Adobe software to Lightroom 3 and PS CS5 - does the activation of CS4 even matter in that case?  Anyone done a Vista->Win7 upgrade in place and offer any suggestions?

    You are a brave man indeed, John.
    An in-place upgrade is still a bad idea though.

  • Pre7 after upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bit)

    I recently upgraded my Vista Ultimate (64bit) computer to Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit).  This was an upgrade, not a clean, fresh install.  Today is the first time I have tried to run PRE7 under Windows 7.  Prior to the upgrade, I had no problems to speak of with PRE7 and the PhotoShop.com Plus account that I set up with it.  Now whenever I start PRE7 under Windows 7, I get the "Install Full Content" dialog informing me that a reduced set of content has been installed and that I need to install the full set of content from the installation DVD.  Now believe me when I say that the full set of content was installed under Vista and that I never got such a dialog box prior to Windows 7.  In addition, after clicking OK to continue, the PhotoShop.com membership did not log on automatically as I am used to it doing.  I don't remember exactly now what I had to do, but to the best of my recollection, after I logged on to my account it was telling me that I needed to verify my account, which I did.  I subsequently received an email with a verification link in it.  After clicking on the link my account was verified and now when I start PRE7, it automatically logs me on to my PhotoShop.com account, as I am used to it doing.  I still get the "Install Full Content" dialog, though.  I thought I would ask in this forum if anyone else has experienced these two anomalous behaviors after ungrading to Windows 7, before I attempt to go thorough the motions of actually reinstalling the full content, which should not actually be necessary.
    Thank you,
    Charles Lawrence

    Why it's happening is a mystery. My guess would be that the upgrade in the OS is part of the problem, but that is just a guess. Some have reported that Win7 does the upgrade thing better than any previous OS, but others report all sorts of odd problems, when doing it this way.
    If you have the DVD, then I'd try a Repair Install, to see if it picks up the Functional Content.
    Otherwise, I am at a loss as to why, when you upgraded your OS, PrE 7 lost the link to that material.
    Good luck,

  • Reinstall Thinkpad software after upgrade from XP to Windows 7

    Hello all, I suspect this is well explored territory but I haven't yet been able to find an answer here.
    I have a T60 model 2623-D6U that came with XP Pro. I will be installing a new HDD and Windows 7 Pro. What is the best way to reinstall the ThinkVantage software after a clean Windows 7 Pro installation?
    Is it simply a matter of installing the Lenovo system update program and letting it pull in the appropriate drivers and utilities, or is there more to the process of getting the system back to factory installed OS + drivers and utilities?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, it is greatly appreciated.
    (HDD + W7 Pro cost $115, and given my relatively low usage of this laptop the upgrade path seems appropriate. If Microsoft hadn't forced the issue, this machine would still be running XP!)
    Solved!

    > Is it simply a matter of installing the Lenovo system update program and letting it pull in the appropriate drivers and utilities
    Yes, it is basically that simple.
    You don't have to install all of the utilities that System Update proposes. If there are utilities that you never used with XP then you probably won't use them with Win7, so there's no urgent need to install them.
    Also there are some utilities that shipped with Lenovo's version of XP that were licensed from third-parties that may not be available for download from Lenovo's website. Fortunately most of those either have free equivalents or their functionality is now integrated in Win7.

  • Can I Reformat windows 10 after upgrading my laptop to windows 10?

    My Laptop model  is lenovo G40-70 with a preinstalled OS of windows 8.1. My Laptop comes with a factory reset option. How do I do that in Windows 10 or do I need to clean install? And Where can I download the Windows 10 iso? Lastly  How can It determine if my Windows 10 is genuine after clean installing? I havent yet upgraded to Windows 10 because I'm afraid I might not be able to reformat/reset my laptop to factory settings.

    Hello,
    I would suggest making a backup of the G40-70, and testing that backup to verify it works.  If there is an option to create factory recovery media for the Windows 8.1 installation the laptop came with, you can try that as well.  Once you have verified you can backup and restore Windows 8.1 on the laptop, go ahead with the Windows 10 upgrade process.
    After you have successfully upgraded the existing installation of Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on the G40-70, you will be able to download the Windows 10 ISO from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and perform a clean install of it.
