Boot selection fails before the recovery process begins

HP Pavilion DV6 QJ926AV#ABA
Windows 7 64-bit
I'm trying to use the recovery feature on my two month old laptop, but, I'm already running into an issue with the recovery fuction. When ever I try to restore the laptop to the factory settings I get an error msg after it restarts, stating this:
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: Boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible
For whatever reasons the boot manager isn't working. Seeing how this is a brand new laptop, I hope that I wont have to pay for a recovery disk if I have a faulty computer.

Does it still boot into Windows OK?
If it does, make your own recovery disc set,
in the search bar on the Start Menu type: Recovery
then run the HP Recovery Manager program to make your discs, then use thoise discs to recover the notebook.

If you cannot boot into Windows, then call HP and request a free set of discs since you cannot use the recovery partition or get into Windows, they should wave the fee for you.

The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible, not the usual boot error though?? (0xc000000e)

Hey,
I need some help fast please. I recently booted up my gaming rig after swapping out a 7970 graphics card and upon system boot up, as the windows 7 logo appeared the system crashes and a BSOD appears for a split millisecond and I'm asked to start up repair windows
or start windows normally however when I click start up repair a black error screen appears with the following message and error: The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible error state and an error code:0xc000000e. Now of fixed this before
multiple times except this instance nothing seems to work Ive tried the following:
- check for any unplugged or loose cables
- Re installed my ram
- Booted with on board graphics
- unplugged all usb devices and external devices with the exception of the keyboard and mouse
- Booted with system installation disc and attempted system repair several times only with the same outcome of wanting to restore from a previous system restoration point however it always fails
- changed the boot type to IDE which made the system boot furhter past the logo screen however it still crashes with the same error
- From the system installation disc I ran a chkdsk /f and no corruptions or bad sectors were found
However, I did run from the installation disc a "bcdedit" and my osdevice was unkown and my boot manager and boot loader were set to two different drives on being D: and the other being C:. So I re-linked all three back to the D: drive as the
windows installation disc says thats where Windows 7 is installed, although in the actual windows 7 My Computer its listed as C: drive which is weird? anyways after re-linking them using bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D: and the other two commands
my recovery partition disappeared which was listed as C:, and now I can only see my local drive? That did not fix the error so I tried one last thing and ran another chkdsk D: /f /r which is taking for ages and I'm assuming my hard drive and its contents
are still intact ( thank god!!) because its taking so long and there are 612080 files to be processed!
I thought I might try and rebuild Master Boot Record?
I don't want to loose any of my data, well I hope I haven't lost any because I have over 150+ games and their saves :(
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :D
thanks guys!

Hi,
Repair the current OS using the Windows 2008 / 7 DVD:
Boot to the Windows DVD
Select Next > Repair your computer
Select Next > Command Prompt
Change directory (cd) to x:\Sources\recovery
then type Startrep.exe to launch a quick automated startup repair utility which corrects boot environment values. This step may require more than one attempt and should be repeated a couple of times if the first repair fails.
If step 3 fails, open the command prompt and type bcdedit This
will display the values for Windows Boot Manager.
Review the values for Device. Is it set to unknown, as shown below? If so, proceed to step 7.
At the command prompt, type the following commands (c: is the default system partition. If your original partition was another drive letter, this value can be set to that drive letter):
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} osdevice partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {BOOTMGR.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
Reboot the system after removing the OS disk.
Hope it helps,

Boot selection falied because the device is inaccessible

I tried to shrank drive c and changed the file system by force. After that following message showed up.
“The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible“ error code 0xc000000f.
when you press F11 nothing happens. When I rearrange boot order, still does not work.
Same screen comes again and again.
Even when I insert recovery media in same message comes in.
I am able to use internet through HP quick web when I enable HP quick web in boot order.
Any ideas guys how this can be fixed????

Exchange Server 2010 SP3 Databases are not mounting after the recovery process

Hi,
We are using Exchange server 2010 SP3 in our office. Databases are stored in an ISCSI drive mapped with the exchange. We are taking daily full backup of my Exchange server using Symantec Backup exe 2012. As a testing purpose I created a test environment
same like my existing live environment to check the disaster recovery and backup. Thankfully disaster recovery worked well and I am able to open the exchange management console and powershell. But I am not able to mount the recovered databases ending
with an error saying "Couldn't mount the database that you specified. Specified database: officialrecover; Error code:
An Active Manager operation failed.........." and even I am not able to use the utility eseutil.exe to the database with an error "access to source database failed with jet error 1811". I am able to create a new database and mount
it.
I am using Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 in the Live environment with 3 partitions called C (279 GB), E (4.46 TB, ISCSI), F (976 GB) in my Live environment.
For test it is Windows Server Ent 2008 R2 64 Bit with Exchange Server 2010 SP3 with 3 partitions C (240 GB), E (1.4 TB), & F (240 GB).
Please help me with your valid comments to solve and mount the database and close the issue for ever.
With Regards
Jay

Jared is correct that in essence the message is saying the DB cannot be found.
When you restored to your recovery server are all the paths the same, i.e. if the DB existed on E:\XYZ on the production server it must be the same on the recovery server
When you restored into the recovery site do you have AD restored into that site as well?
For the recovery server are you using iSCSI storage for it as well? If so am I correct to assume that you have copies of the databases just for use on this server and are not trying to reference the same instance of the DB from the production
and test/recovery server?
I have also seen an issue where DB's getting written to disk from Symantec mess up the header of the DB. If you want to validate that the DB is actually intact and accessible you might want to check out our DigiScope product
http://www.lucid8.com/product/digiscope.asp using a free DEMO license. If it works i.e. you are able to mount in DigiScope from same location where its failing on the recovery server we know the
DB your pointing at is good and accessible from the current path but something else is amiss in your configuration
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Restart on primary database restarts the recovery process on standby

We have a dataguar broker configuration running in maximum perfromance mode.
Every time we start the primary database, the recovery process on standby gets restarted.
I can consistently reproduce teh problem. Looks like expected behaviour.
Even if standby is in read only mode and restart the primary database it bring the database back in recovery mode.
Any explanation why oracle needs to do it?

Any explanation why oracle needs to do it?Yes, When you enable broker it very common behaviour.
When ever you bounce the database also MRP process will be started automatically.
By disabling broker you can avoid automatic startup, BTW Standby should be in recovery mode, i think no need to worry on this.
If you want to disable as per time, you can disable it as below
ALTER SYSTEM SET DG_BROKER_START=FALSE ;

I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

The application "Droplr" is open. You must quit the application before the installation can begin.

Look on your dock. Do you see the icon? If it has a light turned on (underneath the icon), then it is still open. Make sure you quit the app.

Loop a short flv before the live stream begins

Hi,
Using FMS 3.02 and FME 2.5 is it possible to run a looping
flv that the clients can see, before the live stream begins, and
when the live stream finishes, an exit flv video plays?
cheers

Besides, can I draw data from DataBase (say, MS SQL Server) on server side? Can server-side ActionScript do this?

My iphone 5 is in disabled status but when going through the recovery process it asks for the SIM pin but I cannot access the screen as the phone wont connect to the activation server not the screen to unlock the SIM. What do I do?

That's usually a symptom of a phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

How to write select statement before the loop and how to use read statemnt

Hi,
Recently our system has changed from 4.6 to ECC6.
As its migrated its showing lots of errors like in between loop and endloop there should be no select statemnt........
Can any one please tell how to write that coding in ECC6 , how can i change the code......
In between loop and endloop i am having lots of select statemnts.....ple tell thye coding how can i select before the loop starts and
how to read that internal table in loop.

Hi Deepthi,
You can do as per below:
1) Select the required entries from the tables you need (VBAK, VBAP, KNA1, etc)
SELECT VBELN ERDAT KUNNR
    into table it_vbak
    from VBAK
where VBELN = S_VBELN. "Selection criteria
If sy-subrc = 0.
SELECT VBELN POSNR MATNR
    into table it_vbap
    from VBAP
for all entries in it_vbak
where VBELN = it_vbak-vbeln
SELECT KUNNR NAME1
    into table it_vbak
    from VBAK
where VBELN = it_vbak-vbeln.
endif.
2) Loop at the entries, and read internal table it-kna1 for customer info.
Loop at it_vbak into wa_vbak.
read table it_kna1 into wa_kna1 with key kunnr = wa_vbak-kunnr.
if sy-subrc = 0.
endif.
loop at it_vbap into wa_vbap where vbeln = wa_vbak-vbeln.
endloop.
endloop.
This is the basic idea and short example of how to extract entries and read internal table.
Hope this helps.

Patrick

IDVD 08 (v 7.0.1) ejects disk before the burn process is complete.

I've only been able to burn one disk successfully now the disk ejects before the process is completed. The iDVD screen still shows that the project is still burning. I have about 10g of hard disk space available during the burning process.

Just to add to Sue's excellent advice (Len's too), here's a few way to clear up those 10 GB's she recommended above:
You can clear video files already burned to DVD-R media, burn your iPhoto Library to DVD to clear more space , or even consider clearing languages you won't need on your system with an app like Monolingual. No problems will be created by removing unneeded language files (however it's highly recommend you avoid removing architectures on any intel mac).
Items in the /Library/Packages/ and /Library/Printers/ folders that you don't use can be deleted, and Monolingual can be run to free up more space.

Windows 7 has stopped booting and so has the recovery disk

A few days ago by 2011 MBP 15" stopped booting in Windows. (Please help with any suggestions because all my works on the windows side)
Holding down the option key while during switch-on brings up the normal choice of disks to boot from, Mac/Windows(7)/recovery 10.8.2. Mac OS 10.8.2 works OK and I can see and look at the bootcamp/windows drive in finder. However when I restart and click on the WIndows drive nothing happens for 5 minutes and then it boots into Mac OS.
I've got a Windows recovery disk/DVD I produced awhile ago and have attempted to use that, however that hangs in the same way as booting to Windows.
If I access Mac OS disk utilities in Recovery 10.8.2 both the Bootcamp drive and the windows recovery DVD are listed as 'bootable = no' which explains the problem. How do I fix it please?
It's all worked well until afew days ago. As far as I remember I've not changed any settings or done any software updates. What's happened? Thanks for any help suggested.

Found a work round but not a fix
While I've not found a fix to the boot problem but I've come across a work round.
On another forum it was suggest installing the trial version of VMWare fusion. It worked with a little fiddling around and is a temporary solution for 30 days on a free trial.
If you have any ideas, please help with the original problem. Why did it stop working and how do I fix it. I'm not keen on using VMWare as it costs. Thanks

When i insert my recovery disk from hp nothing comes up to start the recovery process

i just got the three windows 7 recovery disks from hp in mail(application and driver recovery dvd, and the two system recovery dvds) and when i put first system recovery disk in nothing comes up for me to start recovery what can i do

Hi:
When you boot from the DVD drive with disk 1 in the DVD-ROM drive, nothing happens?
You need to restart the PC, and at the HP welcome screen, tap the F9 key to get the boot menu. You then select the DVD-Rom to boot from and then follow the on screen prompts and instructions.

Modify jsp content (before the jsp processing!)

Hi!
I would like to modify the jsp content before jsp processing (like at tags, but there the outgoing HTML content is modified not the clear jsp)
So this is what is want: for example i would like to introduce a tag and this tag will modify the jsp content (it will put some jsp lines) and after the whole jsp will be processed and we get a HTML what is displayed in the client.
for example this is the JSP:
<html>
    <body>
        <mytags:grid data="apple,lemon" />
    </body>
</html>it will change to this (for example):
<html>
    <body>
        <% String data = "apple,lemon"; %>
        <jsf:grid data="<%=data%>" />
    </body>
</html>the container will process this and generates a HTML page.
So is there any chance to do this?
Thanks!
ric flair

Here is an example:
If you put the following in the JSP page, the JSP page will outtput one of the two html tags specified.
Note this example uses java scriptlets (the html is sent to the client, not the scriplets).A better approach is to use JSTL.
A book on JSP will better explain the use of JSP.
<% if ( item.length()>0 ){%>
<input type="text" name="firstName">
<%}else{%>
<input type="text" name="firstName">
<%}%>
