Cannot Access Recovery Console on U205-S5002 Win XP SP3

I can only get BSOD UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME, STOP 0x000000ED (0x........, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) errors, when I reboot. It does not matter which startup option I pick. When I try the recovery CD, the only options seem like they will wipe out all my data. How do I access the recovery console? Thanks.

Bug Check 0xED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
That's the best BSOD. I've recovered from that error several times by running chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console. See KB555302 and KB297185.
Two ways to reach the Recovery Console:
1. Beg, borrow, buy, or steal a Windows XP installation CD.
2. Attach an appropriate floppy drive and download the necessary images.

Portege M200 - Cannot access recovery console

Hi,
Yesterday my anti-virus software let me know a virus was trying to access my computer, had quarantined it and asked for a reboot of my Portege M200 to remove it completely. On rebooting, the notebook did not actually reboot and just hung. It gets past the Toshiba window and hangs. I have tried starting it in safe mode but to no avail. It starts loading files and hangs at a particular system file which is obviously now corrupt. I tried to get into my recovery console using Windows XP recovery disks but was unable to do so. The threads on this forum have been helpful however I have still not solved the issue.
I have my product recovery DVD-ROM but I am scared to use it as the warning coming with it says that reformatting will lose all of my work and I am not sure if it will automatically reformat my hard drive (as I have no back ups of my work) or will I be given a choice? Also, I see from your forums that it will not actually repair any corrupt OS files. I have also seen files about making a ghost image to a floppy drive but I do not have a floppy drive on my Portege M200.
Can anyone please provide me with steps to solve this issue as I am 11 hours trying to fix this but to no avail!
Thanks

Moment. In my last posting I wrote about Microsoft WXP installation discs and not Toshiba recovery discs. There is a big difference.
Using Toshiba recovery disc you will not have repair option just option for clean OS installation (recovery image).
Anyway, to start bootable disc you can try to use old good method with C button. Start your notebook with bootable disc in ODD and when you see Toshiba welcome screen press C button several times. That should force ODD to start as first bootable device.
You can also start with F12 to enter boot menu.
Check both options.

Cannot access web console after install.

Hi all.
The last day has been my first encounter with Oracle VM and it seemed to go fine until I finished. I have installed the latest VM and management tools on a bare bones machine (spec below) but cannot access the console via http://machine:8888/OVA.
I have tried installing using https and without and can gain access to neither the https 4443 or the http 8888 yet I can ssh into it quite easily. The dmesg only really complains that there are no ipv6 routers (understandable) but the xend.log in /var/log/xen does show something strange at the bottom:

The spec of the machine started out as:
Athlon 64 x2 3600+
4Gb Ram
2 Nics (1 built in Broadcom & 1 Intel MT)
1 NVidia super duper gt9500
3 Hard Disk, (1 IDE 150gb , 1 SATA 80 & 1 SATA 150 - the IDE is master boot with system on it)
After a few attempts, I removed Video and the Intel card.
The install was done via CD and never complained and in this last install, it only had 1 NIC to choose for the management console.
On this last install I also chose top use none https and therefore the system says I should gain access via http://machine:8888/OVA
I do notice though that in some tutorials, it states alternatives to OVA like OVS etc, all of which I have tried.
Oh and if I netstat -an, it shows it's listening on port 8888.
many thanks, I'm guessing it's some a bit silly that I've over looked but from the way I read the install instructions, you only need the VM and the management Disks to install and you should be able to access via web console?
BTW, systems I'm using as clients to access range from, opera, firefox (Soalris), ie 6,7,8 & 9 from Windows and Windows server. All I get is Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page.
many Thanks, Mark

Did you install the VM Manager software as a VM hosted by OVS? Make sure the VM is running. It is probably named something like OVM_EL5U4_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM. Use "xm list" on the OVS server to see which VMs are running.
If it's not running, then run "xm create /path/to/vm.cfg" the path is probably something like /OVS/running_pool/OVM_EL5U4_X86_OVM_MANAGER_PVM/vm.cfg

Player frozen & cannot access recovery mo

Hi there,This is the second time my Zen sleek photo has frozen. The first time the PC would not recognise the player when docked but recovery mode worked & i got it going again. This time it does'nt allow me to access recovery mode (frozen screen comes up) but player is recognised by PC when docked. I have reinstalled firmware & reformatted using media explorer but all to no avail. Is there any options left rather than a return to base Thanks,Lenny.

drasticdesignz,
If recovery mode has been done before in the system, the new hardware wizard will not be prompting again. You can check this by having the player enter recovery mode via the usual steps and then go to device manager and see if the player are in recovery mode or Mass storage device mode.

Cant access Recovery Console

I have a t30 w/ WinXP Pro SP2
Im getting the blue screen of death - Unmountable Boot Volume. Everything I read says I need to get to the Recovery Console, select "r" then run CHKDSK and Fixboot.
However, when I put in my Thinkpad recovery CD's all I get is a menu to for IBM Product Recovery Program Version 5.7. The only two options it gives me is
Factory Contents: Reformat your hard disk, etc...
System Utilities: View the System Utilities Menu.
I've been though the system utilities and I cant see anywhere where I can get to a prompt to enter the CHKDSK command.
Am I missing a step? Can anyone help? Thanks

Ok, now I have a stupid question. Im trying to download Knoppix. When I go to the site and pick one of the mirrors to download from. It just gives me a list of files. Which one do I burn to a disk? All of them?
Would appreciate anyones help
Thanks

Computer boots normally but cannot access recovery

Currently runing OS X Mavericks on a 2011 MacBook Pro
I was unable to complete a Windows 7 bootcamp and was left with a paritioned harddrive after removing Windows 7 through disk utility. When I attempt to repartition the hardrive back to its original state also through disk utility, it comes up with the error "Partition failed with the error 'Couldn't unmount disk'".
Now I'm trying to do the partition through recovery, and whenever I try to access Recovery or Internet Recovery through Command + R and Command + Option + R respectively, my computer shuts down after the apple startup logo. The same for when I hold option during startup and manually choose the recovery option.
Using terminal, I am able to determine I have the following disks on my harddrive:
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *320.1 GB   disk0
   1:                        EFI EFI                     209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:                  Apple_HFS Macintosh HD            264.2 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
No CoreStorage logical volume groups found
Any idea how to get to recovery or partition my harddrive back to full capacity?
Thanks.

epw2,
log in as your administrative user and try the following command in Terminal:
diskutil verifyDisk disk0
Does that command report any errors? If so, follow it with
diskutil repairDisk disk0
After completing these commands, does trying to boot into Recovery mode still shut down after displaying the Apple logo?

Cannot create recovery disk after update to Win 8.1 on G580

Friends
I have a Lenovo G580 that came with Win 8.0 preinstalled. I upgraded it to Win 8.1 over the Internet.
When I try to run the "Create recovery disk" I get the error that states that "We cannot create a recovery drive for this PC. Some required files are missing..."
I found out that the winre.wim file that is supposed to be in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder is not there. I cannot locate it anywhere on the C or D drives either. I believe there is a copy on one or more of the recovery partitions but I do not know how to get that file from those partitons.
I am confused as to why there are seven partitions on that one drive:
1 Recovery partition 1000 MB
2 EFI system partition 260 MB
3 OEM partition 1000 MB
4. Recovery partition 350 MB
5. Recovery partition 20 GB
6. Lenovo D: 25 GB
7. Windows 8 C: 250 GB
Can someone help me and give me some instructions on how I can fix the system to find the winre.wim file?
Thanks for any good input.
Calle

Hi Calle,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that the error message is displayed in your G580 Laptop, as the OS (Operating System) installed is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Recovery discs cannot be created only a “Recovery Media” can be created using USB Flash drive, below is the link to create USB recovery drive.
Create a USB Recovery Drive
Do post us back if the issue persists.

Re: Equium P300-P6T - dual boot, need to reinstall but cannot access recovery

Hi
Have got a friends EQUIUM P300-P6T that he would like me to fix but having problems recovering.
He currently has windows 7 and WXP installed on separate partitions so can choose which OS to boot when loading. The factory for the laptop is Vista but he has replaced that with 7.
However, some of the booting files in Vista have become corrupt and cannot be fixed by the windows recovery so looks like a new install of Vista is needed.
This should not seem a problem but:
a) I tried holding 0 down as I switch on to access the recovery partition (which does still exist as I can see it there from within computer management if I load xp) but it does nothing so I cannot recover from the recovery partition.
b) I tried reinstalling Vista onto that partition using a vista OEM disc however, where it it gets to the stage of "completing install" the progress bar stays the same place forever about 3/4 of the way through as though it has crashed.
c) I did manage to get an install of windows 7 on it however when I loaded it, it would not recognise the keyboard or touchpad (even though no problem with the drivers for each) yet the cursor could be moved with a USB mouse plugged in. Also, the boot partition now gave a choice of "xp, vista, older windows installations".
I have now put the computer back to the original state it was in for the time being. However, the route I would like to go down is to use the recovery partition to restore Vista and the factory settings on that particular partition.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this or what my best solution is? Like I say, holding 0 down whilst booting has no effect yet the recovery partition is still existent on the hard drive.
Unfortunately there are no recovery media that I have access to.
Thanks

Hi
The whole story is very interesting and I would like to help somehow. Your posting is pretty long with very useful information but, if I understand you right, you just want to install original Vista recovery image. Can you confirm this?
If you have more questions please ask one by one and then we can answer them one by one.
Anyway, if your answer is YES here is my explanation:
Recovery image saved on HDD can be used with factory settings only. With other words: when original recovery image is installed you will have full access to this recovery image. In case that some other OS is installed (Win7 or WXP) this original state will be overwritten and you will lose this recovery option ( HDD recovery installation ). Only way ti have factory settings again is to use recovery DVD disc. If your friend didnt create this disc (ignoring Toshibas recommendation) than you have big problem now.
Please tell us one more time what are your options now. what do you want to do now?

Cannot access EM console on SOA Suite 11g (404 error)

I have installed SOA Suite 11g on a new environment. The admin server and managed server (soa_server1) start up without any errors in logs. However after start up, I am unable to access the enterprise manager console at http://host:port/em due to 404. Interestingly, I can access the WebLogic administration console at http://host:port/console without any issue.
I have installed SOA Suite 11g before on my local machine and have never had any issue like this before.
Is there a way to manually start up the enterprise manager application? I have seen some advise in previous posts which mention the use of emctl (enterprise manager command line control) however, this does not appear applicable to the em app that runs on WebLogic application server in 11g.
Any troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can access the EM using http://host:7001/em url.
But for EM to be present in the domain, you should have created your domain with Enterprise Manager template selected. I think, you haven't done this step. Login to your WLS Admin Console, navigate to Deployments. Check for an application named 'em'. If it is not there, then this is the issue.
To get your domain extended with EM, do these steps.
1. Stop your servers in the domain.
2. Invoke the configuration wizard ($ORACLE_HOME/common/bin/config.sh/cmd)
3. Choose Extend Domain option. Select your domain.
4. Select Enterprise Manager template. Complete the wizard.
5. Start your servers.
Now you will be able to access EM, using the above URL.
There is no need for emctl in SOA 11gR1. Starting the Admin Server will help you to work in EM.
Hope this helps!!!

Cannot access recovery mode - N

Just as the title says. Player will spuradically turn on and play but usually will not, in fact it rarely will play. And when it does, if I shut it off and try to turn it back on, it will not. However if I plug the player into the computer without holding the power button it will always work, with or without the battery. If I hold the power button while connecting the unit it will do nothing(I've held it for a full minute even)until I release it, and then it just comes up as a mass storage device. No new hardware, nothing. I've tried on the 4 desktop stations running various Windows versions and my one laptop and they all produce the same results. So basically I have a "thumb dri've" that requires a cable.
Any ideas? It seems there have been quite a few problems with the N200's and them acting a bit odd. And it also seems like they forgot recovery mode on my player unless there is something I am doing wrong.

drasticdesignz,

Cannot access recovery partition

I am trying to reset my computer to factory. I am running Snow Leopard with all updates. I have tryed the command R and holding option to get the recovery HD. Any solutions out there, and i do not have the Disc.

I have similar problem: my E205-S1904 has crashed too and wont take my recovery disk. I have done the F2,F9 and F10 to boot from CD/DVD with no success...Done the F8 and still wont give me acess to the Recovery file etc...Am I missing something?
Perhaps it was a mistake installing Microsoft Security Essentials last night! The computer went into this limp mode (black screen with just the a mobile mouse indicator) this morning. Anyone with this experience after installing same? Thanks!

Cannot access recovery partition after enabling filevault

I did a clean install of Lion by extracting the disk image to an external Firewire drive, using disk utility to reparition my Macbook Pro's internal drive to a single, blank HFS+ parition, and then installed Lion to that partition from the external firewire drive. It worked flawlessly. At that point, without the firewire drive plugged in, I could boot to Lion, and if I held option while starting the computer, I could also see the recovery parition as an option to boot into.
After that, I used Bootcamp to install Windows, which resized my Lion partition. After that, I enabled FileVault. Everything went resonabley well: The Lion partition is now encrypted, and Windows still works, and the computer is functioning, however when holding option at boot, the only options I see are Lion and Windows. The Recovery boot option is no longer visible. I don't know if it was the act of using Bootcamp, or Filevault (or the combination of both) that caused it to dissapear, but I changed nothing else that I can think of.
I'm resonabley certain the actual recovery partition is still there. The diskutil list command outputs the following:
Lownins-MacBook-Pro:~ Lownin$ diskutil list
/dev/disk0
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

   1:                        EFI                         209.7 MB   disk0s1
   2:          Apple_CoreStorage                         259.0 GB   disk0s2
   3:                 Apple_Boot Recovery HD             650.0 MB   disk0s3
   4:       Microsoft Basic Data Windows                 60.2 GB    disk0s4
My question is: How do I re-enable the Apple_Boot Recovery partition as a boot option from the "option key while booting" menu?

Cannot access Web Services in BO Enterprise XI R2 SP3

Hi,
Just installed QaaWS and when I tried to test the Web Services URL i found nothing:
http://server:8080/dswsbobje/services/session
The same happens with Live Office.
We work with .NET (IIS)
Thank you in advance.

http://server:8080/dswsbobje/services/session
In the above url you need to replace 'server' by the name of your web server. If you are using default Tomcat installed with BOE, it should be the name of your machine.
