\Boot\BCD bootup error and possible need to recover extra D: partition files

I started up my 10-month old Toshiba Latitude P750-BT4G22 and plugged in an HDMI cable from my television before the bootup process had finished. Oooops! Suddenly, the computer died, and when I tried to restart it, I saw the following message:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next.”
3. Click “Repair your computer.”
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configurations data.
Enter= Continue ESC=Exit
My computer is set up with a virtual C: drive containing Windows and a virtual D: drive (partition) containing all of my important files that I would like to NOT lose.
Any idea how I might salvage this situation? If I have to use recovery disks, can I ensure that the D: drive is not touched and will remain intact? (Clearly I don't want to return to a factory state, because I reformatted the hard drive when I first received it and made the D: partition to store my important files.)

I did manage to use the rebuildbcd command..

I bought mountain lion for my macbook pro and I'm trying to install it and it says there was an error and I need to boot up but I don't have any other start up disks to boot up with. Are there any suggestions of how I could get my computer started?

Hold the Option key down and restart. Select one of the drives that comes up and hit the Return key.

Power Map has encountered an error and it needs to close, after changing the graphic settings

I've been using the updated Power Map tool successfully over the past few days.
Last night I was playing around with the graphics settings that can be found under the File Tab (I know that should teach me from playing around and following the user guide :-) ) and I changed the detail from Medium to High (I think) and now all that happens
when I click on create a new tour or select an existing tour is
"Power Map has encountered an error and it needs to close. Power Map can collection information about the error and create an e-mail which you will be able to send to Microsoft and help us fix the problem. Do you want to do this?"
The error that gets generated can be seen below.
Thank you for submitting this error information to Microsoft. We appreciate your help!

I've removed Power Map from the system, restarted, repaired Office, restarted and reinstalled Power Map but the problem remains. So i'm guessing that the setting I changed are stored in the Registry or File System somewhere.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I opened up my photoshop (circa 2004) and got a message that it has expired (or somthing to that efffect). This is CS2. I have the hardcopy. Upon closing it and reopening it I got a message that there was "serious error" and I needed to reinstall. Upon reinstalling with my hard copy I got the same error message. Any thoughts? Are all former versions of the creative suite disabled to promote use of "the cloud version"?

This Adobe document should help to explain the situation for CS2:

You will have to restore as new

When you upgraded to Lion did you have AppleWorks installed on your mac?
Most of the AW documents can be opened by Pages 09 or Numbers 09 with most of the orginal format in tact. (I do not know if previouse verision will work) just open the AW file with both and see which one works best.
Text Edit will also open most of the AW files as well but will require a lot of work to restore them to their orginal format.
If you have AW Database documents then they are not supported.
These document show up as "exec icons", Kind: Unix Executagle File.
They also will show up as .cwk file if they are small files. I have a couple that were under 1mb that are shown as " Kind: AppleWorks Document" but will not open.
The only option to open AW database is to have AW installed on a mac with a pre-Lion OS to recover the file.

HT1766 I lost my iPhone and would need to recover the photos, notes, etc., from my last backup

I lost my iPhone 3GS a few days ago and I want to recover all the photos, notes, etc., from my last backup. How can I do that?
Thanks!

Backup from where? itunes or icloud?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your phone. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your phone is new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Or choose a backup in itunes if that's where it is.

Boot Failed, Single User FSCK couldn't load, mounting Macintosh HD failed, repair and verify returns no errors, and i need to transfer my data before starting over - HELP!!!!

Lets break down the facts here: My machine is an Intel-Based iMac running Mavericks - 1TB Hitachi Hard Drive
1. Was running an initial baseline image with Time Machine when the computer froze - waited hours - nothing got better and no functions were possible (force quit, etc.)
2. Hard Reboot
3. Upon reboot, the iMac was unable to load the log-in screen. The image was a folder with a "?" on it.
4. Rebooted with option key held down and selected Macintosh HD - Boot Failed
5. Restarted and Rebooted with Command R held down
6. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - returned errors round one.
7. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - Returned no Errors
8. Restart - Boot failed - the "NO" symbol replaced the apple symbol
9. Reboot with Command R
10. Attempt to mount Macintosh HD
11. Mount Failed.
12. Shutdown
13. Connect Firwire to Host computer and Target Computer
14. Boot with Command T
15. TDM entered - Host Machine cannot read Target Hard Drive
16. Shutdown
17. Boot with Command S
18. Endless loop created - Multiple errors including:
     - failed to open create the journal retval 0
     - could not read 512 bytes for the journal header - Return 22
     - Errorno 19
     - hfs_mounterror return: 22
Short of springing for a software online, I have no idea what the next steps are to getting my data moved from the Macintosh HD to my external so I can just reformat and install the OS again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is is a serious headache and I cannot lose my data - Thats what I was backing it up for in the first place!!!!

You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

Can't boot from install disk and I need to reinstall OS X 10.4

I am trying to boot from the install disk by restarting the computer and holding down the c button. It won't start up from the disk. I get a white screen and an icon that is a circle with a line through it. I am having that problem on all my iMacs in my lab and I don't know why. Help Please!!! thanks.

Sorry for all of the posts.. but it could be possible that the firmware is password protected - disabling users in the computer lab from corrupting programs? I found this article and it might help.. (http://www.fif3.com/howto/archives/001983.html) Some of the article is below....
ALSO: if you use open firmware password... you'll need this:
Startup Manager -accessed by pressing the Option key during startup
Enter commands after starting up in Open Firmware -press Command-Option-O-F key combination during startup.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
How to troubleshoot a computer with Open Firmware Password enabled
If you cannot access the Open Firmware Password application and need to troubleshoot your computer by:
Resetting the PRAM
Starting up in Single-user mode
Starting up in Verbose mode
Starting from CD-ROM
Then follow these steps:
Start up into Open Firmware by pressing and holding the Command-Option-O-F key combination during startup.
At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-nvram
Press Return.
When prompted for your password, enter it and press the Return key. It responds OK.
At the Open Firmware prompt, type: reset-all
Press Return.
The computer restarts and you are now be able to reset the PRAM and startup in Single-user mode, Verbose mode, or from CD-ROM.

When I try to open itunes I get the following message MSCVR80.dll is missing. It twells me to reinstall the software. When I try to reinstall the install hangs up and tells me there is an error and I need to reinstall.

My Itunes will not open due to a missing file, MSCVR80.dll. It tells me to reinstall the software. I downloaded the installer for my windows 7 system. When I try to install it tells me there is an error in the install and to reinstall.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

My ipod touch keeps crashing and I need to recover it every time

So this is the problem.. my ipod keep craching but a soft reset was all it needed. It used to happen every few weeks but now it's once or twice a week and once it's crashed, it goes in recovery mode. Now last time in an effort to isolate if it was a problem with an app, I installed only my fav app: Stanza (since I mainly use my ipod for reading), but obviously it crashed again.
Crashes are random, and never when using the ipod. I get it out of my pocket and it's just dead (and no, I don't have anything else in the pocket, and I've never have a hip surgery...)
So I've tried to read the forum (and search google, etc) but I didn't see no one else with my problem.
Can someone help?

Thanks for the answer.
What I did was switch case (my old one is all leather, with a front protector that was kept close with magnets, so I was starting to think they had an adverse affect), and also switch pockets. I always kept my touch in my pants pocket but maybe there was a small strain on the unit.
So for it's working fine so I'll leave it as is for now. Not installing Stanza would mean having a useless unit for me, so it's my very last option...
Thanks for your help and have a great Christmas holiday.

I've been using mac since 2002 and I need to recover my mails from mac (entourage?) from 2002-2007 how do I do this, are they kept on a mac server?

I need to retrieve my emails from my email account for a court case.
Does mac/apple store them?
2002 - 2007
best wishes,
Anju

Imap means that it syncs between your computer and the server: if you have nothing on your computer it will copy (not move) everything to your computer, when you use the computer it will copy to the server.
Be aware that it may take a lot of time the first sync, depending on how much is on the server....
