Edge 420 does not load operating system (Windows 7)

My edge 420 suddenly stopped working yesterday. When I turn it on, it shows me option if I want to restore or use the normal set up, and neither of the options owrk, it just freezes no matter what key I press, F11 for recovery or Esq for normal set up. It just shows the 'loading files' message for a second and then a blank screen forever, nothing happens in the meantime. I tried restarting again and again and I feel that the situation may get worse. I called the tech support, and they said they cannot sun it through with me as my warranty is over. I am not sure what to do or what the problem is now. It is only two years and I am facing this problem.

Hi,
I have the same model, and I might be able to help.  Yesterday, you shut the system down and were not able to boot it back on Windows? Or the system shut down randomly by itself?
I believe your files are safe, although I can't confirm it yet.  A picture of the options screen you see would be helpful.
Do you have access to a Windows 7 installation CD?
EDIT: If you do see a screen with infos saying "Windows failed to start" or any similar screen, that might mean that the bootloader is corrupted, but the hard-drive possibly is not damaged.  I can't confirm it yet, I need more information, and actually wonder how the problem occurred randomly in first place.

  • Error loading operating system- windows xp/windows me

    Hi,
    So, I have a Hp Pavillion 9715 desktop with windows xp professional and basically yesterday I turned on my computer and all it would do would go to the black screen saying "error loading operating system"
    Now I'm not really sure what tp do I was going to reinstall window xp, but i dont how to do this as i don't have the cd and the computer wont even power up in safe mode. I then realised that my computer's operating system is windows millenium edition, which i havs the recovery cd for. i could use this, but id lose all my data. i was wondering if there was a way to save or transfer all my files to a different hard drive. Or if there was a way to use the recovery cd to repair everything without me losing all my personal files, or would this not work because it would be windows me that is reinstalled and not xp?
    If anyone at all could help me id be so grateful, its quite annoying/upsetting. Thanks

    Wow! Your PC is almost as old as my  (1996) Compaq 14XL244 Notebook.
    It still works, but required hard disk replacement about six years ago.  I suspect you will have a very hard time getting any files from your IDE hard disk. You can try putting the hard disk in an external enclosure and connecting it via USB to another PC. 
    The error message that you are seeing means that the BIOS can no longer recognize the hard dive.
    It is probably time to consider updating to a more recent PC. You certainly got plenty of good service life from it.
    Kind regards,

  • Error loading operating system (windows 7)

    Macbook pro 8,2 (early 2011)
    Samsung SSD 850 evo primary drive
    OWC electra 3G secondary drive in place of the original DVD drive (with disk doubler).
    My original HDD was removed for the two SSD configuration.
    It contains two partition (OS X and Win 7 pro) and everything works fine.
    I use Winclone to clone Win 7 partition to the new OWC drive.
    My OS X partition was placed on the primary Samsung drive.
    OS X works fine.
    Win 7 works fine when i use Parallels Desktop (virtualization).
    But when i try to boot with Win 7, i have the " error loading operating system" black screen.
    I cannot repair Win 7 with the installation disc because when i try to boot with the DVD, i have à black screen with a white cursor and nothing happend. (original DVD drive is used in usb, inside a dedicated external cradle).
    Here are some of terminal commands :

    Thank you for your help !

    You are creating a new protective MBR, not a Hybrid MBR. A protective MBR encapsulates the disk into a single entry the size of the disk so legacy partitioning tools leave it untouched to 'protect' the GPT.
    In your case, since disk1 has only two partitions, GPT1 and GPT2, you should have two entries.
    Here is an example, where GPT3, 4 and 5 are hybridized.
    Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR.
    Use defaults for other questions (for example Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): AF).
    Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    P  (Print list of parts)
    R   (Recover)
    H (chooses Hybrid)
    Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 3 4 5
    Y (Good for GRUB question)
    N (part 3 boot flag)
    N (part 4 boot flag)
    Y  (part 5 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
    P  (Print list of parts again)
    W  (Write the new MBR)
    Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
    Reboot
    Please ensure that the following questions get appropriate defaults or correct values for the MBR hex codes as suggested by Gdisk. These are examples using a standard, your partition numbers will have a differential of 1. Given the prior Gdisk steps, your mapping will look as follows
    GPT1+2 (EFI+OSX) = MBR1 (You lose read visibility to OSX from Windows).
    GPT3 = MBR2 (Recovery HD).
    GPT4 (Shareddisk) = MBR3 (Shareddisk)
    GPT5 (Bootcamp) = MBR4 (Bootcamp - This should be made bootable).
    You can create variants of which partitions get mapped to which MBR). If you use 2 4 5, then Recovery will look like Free Disk space to Windows and can be corrupted. If you use 4 5, then EFI+OSX+Recovery HD will end up in MBR1. Try and see which works the best for you. In this configuration, I would also recommend not using any third-party NTFS tools.
    The following is an example for 2 3 4
    Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): AF
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n
    Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default AB): AB
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n
    Creating entry for GPT partition #4 (MBR partition #4)
    Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): 07
    Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): y
    In your case the steps will become...
    Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    P  (Print list of parts)
    R   (Recover)
    H (chooses Hybrid)
    Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2
    Y (Good for GRUB question)
    Y  (part 2 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
    P  (Print list of parts again)
    W  (Write the new MBR)
    Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
    Reboot
    After the reboot, check the output of sudo fdisk /dev/disk0.

  • ITunes 11.2.0115 does not load/work with Windows 7 Professional. What is wrong?

    Hi Folks!!! Please if you can help me: after the upgrade to the last iTunes 11.2.0115 Version (Windows 7 Professional PC Operational System), I've received, all the  times I've tried load it,  the warning message: "iTunes has stopped to work"...What is happening? Please, can anyone help me? I can't access iTunes to the syncronizing of my iPod Classic 160Gb 7th generation. All the way, thank's a lot. Mª Paula.

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Creative Cloud desktop application does not load properly under Windows 8.1

    I'm having a very strange problem with the CC tool too.
    When I open it I just see an empty box with a smaller dialog inside it showing the icon. It won't close and I can't interact with any of the windows. The only way to get rid of it is to kill it via task manager. I've tried the "rename opm.db file" hack and this makes the CC app ask for my Adobe credentials as though its going to work, but then ends up showing the same thing. I've attached a screengrab of what's happening. Windows 8.1 FWIW.

    Branching this to a new discussion.
    NPotter.UK please make sure you are using version 1.2.1.260 or later of the Creative Cloud desktop application.  You can find more details at Creative Cloud desktop missing text | Windows 8.1 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-missing-text.html.

  • Operating system does not load up?

    When I turn my mac (2009) on it shows the grey loading screen but does not load up the operating system?

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

    Hello Rachet Jaw,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. I found a few articles I suggest for the issue you described.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:

  • "Error loading operating system" in windows 7 bootcamp

    Hello, Im trying to boot up my windows 7 and its giving me "Error loading operating system". But the wierd thing is from Mac OS X i can access my bootcamp without any problem "browsing it", all my music is on it actually. Any solutions guys?

    Hi guys,
    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am suddenly having a very similar problem and maybe one of you can help me.  I have searched the problem using many different phrases but have not found a solution to my specific issue anywhere so I turned here.
    Problem : I am getting the "Error Loading Operating System" error on the windows side after trying to boot up using BootCamp.
    More Info / History :  Everything was running fine until I updated OSX to 10.10.02.  I have an unsupported card with no EFI : GTX 980 so I couldn't tell what was going on with the update but it just hung in black screen for a while and then when into an infinite restart-loop.  Sooooo, I pulled the card and put my old GTX 120 with EFI back in to see what the **** was going on and miraculously it decided to finish the update.  (Maybe it had something to do with the unsupported card? IDK)  The update finished successfully after i swapped out the cards but I fear i screwed up something by restarting during the update (I was hung up, I waited a very long time before hitting the power button).  OSX is running ok, I put the other card back in and it is working ok now, but...  BootCamp was working...  once.  Then I restarted and it wouldn't work, I got the error message.  So I tried doing a verify/repair disk on both drives, OSX and W7, and that didn't do anything, so I tried to start BootCamp assistant and I couldn't...  So I reset the PRAM and that fixed the problem with BootCamp Assistant, so now that starts up, but I don't know if I can repair the issue with it?  However I still can't boot into Windows.  Again, when I hold down option on boot, I do get the menu (BootCamp?) to choose which OS to go into.  Side Note, when I pick Recovery Mode from that menu, I get the mac error message and it restarts.
    All the W7 Files are still present on the drive...  Is there any way I can back up the image, re-prep the drive for BootCamp and re-image it to repair it?  All thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcome.
    Hardware:
    • Upgraded 2009 Hex-Core Mac Pro flashed to 2010
    • OWC PCIE SSD - OSX 10.2.2 installed here
    • nVidia GTX 980 - EVGA
    • 1TB HDD - 1 Partition - Windows 7 installed here (Bootcamp)

  • T61: "Error loading operating system" after reboot with Windows XP SR3

    So here is my problem:  Occasionally, after reboot I get "Error loading operating system" right after the Lenovo screen (the one where you can press ThinkVantage button). After that the only thing I can do is shut down the computer and fix the windows boot (see bellow…). I'm running Windows XP SR3, clean install.
    I've had my T61 for 6 months now and I've had this problem about 8 times so far. Obviously this makes my T61 unstable and is becoming a major problem (I like to shut down the computer before taking it anywhere, and I don't really use Hibernate).
    Solving the boot is very easy and takes 3 minutes… But the Win XP CD is needed for the fix and I don't want to carry it around with me everywhere. And anyway this is annoying and makes my T61 crippled…
    To fix the problem:
    1 Change AHCI -> Compatibility in BIOS.
    2 Boot using the Windows XP CD.
    3 Enter the Recovery Console (press R).
    4 Use "fixboot" to write a new boot sector.
    5 Restart ("exit").
    6 Change back to AHCI in Bios.
    After that the computer works perfect until the next time… Things I have tried so far:
    1 Installed latest Bios for T61.
    2 Checked firmware for HD (WD Scorpio WD1600BEVS) and it's the latest.
    3 Installed all windows updates for Windows XP.
    4 Installed all latest drivers for T61 (specifically checked the Intel Matrix Storage Driver and it's the latest).
    5 Checked computer for Viruses, malware, etc. with a few scanners. It's clean.
    6 Updated some of the programs that I thought might be causing problems: Avira , PerfectDisk 2008, TrueImage Home…
    7 Checked HD with WD Diagnostics tools
    I am out of ideas. Something is corrupting the boot sector occasionally when I shut down the system. But I can't find why or under  what circumstances it happens… The only thing I didn't try was a completely new clean system install, a thing which I REALLY don't want to do. Except for this problem the system is great, very stable and I'm very happy with it.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I run the windows version of TestDisk. Is there any specific reason for me to make a Live CD? It seems to work just fine in windows. Anyway, I run all the analysis tests with it. It did NOT find any problems. Is there some specific test I should run?
    Some further testing has shown me that the problem happens sometime during using windows and not upon restarting... When it does happen I can no longer use chkdsk - it gives the following error message:
    "The type of the filesystem is RAW.
    CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."
    Some other things I tried:
    - I've pretty much ruled out physical HD problems (I checked the HD with PC Doctor, WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tool and chkdsk - no problems). And the HD shows no symptoms of failure (no noises or any other problems).
    - Ruled out boot-sector Viruses (cheked the computer with 4 different antiviruses - Avira,AVG, Kaspersky and NOD32).
    - Manually checked the boot.ini file - no problems.
    - I have also found while googling that the problem might have to do with a registry entry concerning HDs bigger then 137gb. I double checked that entry and it's fine.
    - Tried both fixmbr and fixboot, alone and together - windows boots, but the problem comes back again after a few hours/days...
    Things I'm trying now:
    - Reinstalled the Intel Matrix Storage Drivers (before I just checked that they are the latest).
    - Disabled the Active Protection System (I am shooting in the dark...).
    I am getting pretty desperate here.

  • IE 11 Does not load pages and "Stops Responding" After 11/26/2013 Windows Update

    I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. IE 11. (Doesn't matter if I try to open 32 or 64 bit IE)
    I keep Automatic Updates on and they install as soon as they are available.
    Everything on my PC was running fine 11/25/13.
    I came to it 11/26/13 after Windows Updates ran and now whenever I open any webpages, it does not load the web page 100%, no hyperlinks can be clicked on and once you attempt to click on anything. I get the "IE 11 has stopped responding" bubble.
    It also seemed to affect Firefox which does not completely load pages either.
    Any shove in the correct way to help solve this would be helpful.

    Robert -
    Anyone who has gathered over 13,000 points is certainly to be respected as being super smart and uber helpful.  However, your response is inadequate on two counts.
    First, "stopped working" is not an inexact phrase, nor is it a euphemism trotted out by a newbie who hasn't the skill to describe the problem accurately. "stopped working" is an exact part of the error message issued by Windows.  Of course it would
    help if Windows would issue error messages that are more useful, but that is a different issue. For the purposes of this discussion, "stopped working" as part of the exact error message is a useful piece of information.
    Second, despite your excellent suggestions for hunting down the problem, I'm guessing that few people here have the time or inclination to be beta testers for Microsoft.  Even if the exact cause is found, it is not likely that anyone here will
    be able to fix the problem.  There are literally hundreds of people complaining about this problem in multiple forums.  If you know your consumer behavior metrics, then you know that means tens of thousands are affected.  This is systemic, not
    a random problem on a few errant machines.  Microsoft needs to know that they have a major problem on their hands and they need to fix it.  I saw this problem starting with IE 10.  Is it any wonder that in that time, IE usage has fallen greatly
    while Chrome has become the dominant browser?  (The only reason I am bothering to write instead of just shifting to Chrome is that Chrome also has its bugs, one of which affects a web app I use several times a week, so I need a functioning version of
    IE.)
    So thanks Robert for all your help in the past, but this response isn't helpful.
    Microsoft, are you listening?  Fix your browser.

    Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
    You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
    Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
    Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
    Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
    Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
    Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
    Can you view Youtube & google vids?
    • If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
    the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
    If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
    Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
    Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
    • Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
    Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
    annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
    Good luck,
    Eme'~[) / Maria

    As you to see, Nexus5010 does not load system image, falls back to kickstart.

    Check the MD5 hash of the boot file.  It could be corrupted.
