Error 0xe0ef00e When reinstalling windows from DVD

DV4 2155dx Windows 7
Bought a new hard drive and tried instaling the OS with the recovery discs i made when first purchased the computer. I am getting the 0xe0ef00e error when trying to boot from DVD. Fist time it gave the error on disc 2 and on my second attempt, i got the error on disc three. There are 4 discs total. When this didn't work i tried using an enclosure and booting from my fully functional hard drive that was working fine. This didn't work. It said it installed the recovery partition and was going to restart and install the drivers etc. It had to first rebot before instaling the drivers. When it tried to start, it gave me an Unable to start error. It tried to "fix" itself, but just went into a circle. I can't think of how to get this OS on the new dvd. I've tried making a new set of recover disc, but come to find out, you can only make one set. What is the error caused by, and is there a way to get this OS on the new drive?
This question was solved.

You might want to contact HP Support at this link, and see if they will send you a new set of Recovery Restore disks for your system. It sounds like your recovery discs may have some corrupt data on them and that is preventing you from installing the OS correctly.

  • Errors when reinstalling windows from recovery disks

    My laptop crashed and could no longer find Windows, so I ordered a recovery disc (TR-IM00209299 - Win7 SP1 64Bit HomePremium (NH)) via the Toshiba Recovery Media Shop. I have now received the Windows 7 Recovery discs but they do not successfully install, and I'm unclear if this is an error on the discs I received, or an issue with the hardware. Below are the error details. Is this an error that any of you are familiar with? Please advise

    I contacted Toshiba in parallel to making this post, and they suggested getting a new copy of the discs. I wasn't sure if it was likely to be a hardware or software problem, so thought I'd see if anyone on the forum could confirm either way. I'm waiting for the new discs to be sent out, and will come back and confirm if that cured the problem. Thanks Mister X

    I did this with my ipod nano and it worked just fine. But with my wife's ipod nano, I can't find the music folder in her ipod when I open it up by double-clicking on "My computer". I can see a contacts folder and a couple of others ("calendar" as I recall" and something else), but no music folder that I can copy.
    Any suggestions, anyone???

  • Satellite L500-19x crashes when loading software from dvd

    Satellite L500-19x crashes when loading software from dvd. This is photoshop elements 9. Other software generally loads ok, but not always.
    Any ideas?

    Hi shownomercer,
    Have you tried the Photoshop disk in another computer to check if the installation disk is ok or not?
    What happens exactly when the computer crashes? Bluescreen?

  • Error 0x80070017 when installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp...

    I've been trying hard to research this issue and haven't come across anything that has worked for me.
    At work, we have an iMac (Early-2009) that we wish to install Windows 7 on. Previous user has left, so I reinstalled Snow Leopard (10.6) and used Disk Utility from the disc to reformat complete to GUID single partition Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is pretty standard for Macs. Mac OS X installed and booted just fine. I updated completely to 10.6.8 and all other updates. Only installed Microsoft Office 2011 and Firefox.
    So Boot Camp begins...
    Found that the early-2009 model doesn't "support" Windows 7 64-bit, so we are fine going with 32-bit. The 32-bit Windows 7 disc has been used to install Windows 7 using Boot Camp on 2 Mac Mini's (one Intel Core Duo, the other one Intel Core 2 Duo) just a few days ago.
    Opened Boot Camp Assistant, partitioned the 1TB drive equally, inserted the Windows 7 disc, and clicked Restart.
    It boots from the Windows 7 disc, I go through the options, choose the BOOTCAMP partition and format it (I assume Windows 7 is choosing NTFS for me). Click next.
    It copies the files instantly, but then "begins" to Expand the files. It remains at 0% for 5-10 minutes (I can hear the Windows 7 DVD spin down and spin up, but mostly spin down). That's when the error hits:
    "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070017"
    I click Ok and cancel the install. Restart and boot back into Mac OS X. And here I am.
    Important Notes:
    I've tried multiple times with a 64-bit disc as well. I will likely go check out another 32-bit disc from our software department, but I know this disc works on other Macs.
    This issue occurred a month back as well when we attempted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp (so before the hard drive and OS were reformatted and reinstalled). I was hoping reformatting and reinstalling the Mac OS X would solve the issue.
    The Superdrive appears to be working just fine.
    I read somewhere that I need to use repair disk to fix it. Does anyone know if I can repair disk a NTFS partition? Or am I suppose to repair disk the parent drive itself? The place I read it wasn't specific AT ALL and the forum was closed and I couldn't find a way to get a hold of the person. It just said "Repair disk did the trick". People, if you find a solution to your own problem, POST the solution!
    Thanks in advance!

    Yea, I saw that kb article. I verified we have the early 2009 iMac. It's an iMac 9,1 (3.06 24-inch, A1225).
    As far as different hardware, I really don't think so, but I'll have to double check with my fellow employees. The specs all match up, but I'll see if anyone remembers having to replace hardware or send it into Apple.
    I did think of trying an external DVD drive too, I'll see if I can scrounge one up. I'll post if it works or not.
    The employee using the machine knows Windows, but is willing to learn the Mac OS X. Diversify your experiences I always say!
    An added note to the Repair Disk "solution". Turns out you can't run Repair Disk on NTFS partitions or the parent hard drive that contains that partition, which makes since. I can only run Repair Disk on the HFS+ partition which did no good. (This is, of course, from booting up using a Mac OS X Install DVD).
    Mac_Win, thanks for the suggestions!

  • Qosmio G30 (PQG31E) - Reinstalling Windows from the original disk

    I bought my Qosmio several years back, and I don't believe, that it still is covered by any warranties.
    Recently, my file system on Windows hard drive (C:) has got corrupted (or the hard drive has got some bad sectors; whatever), and chkdsc crashes when i'm trying to fix it. I'd like to reinstall Windows, however, when booting from reanimation DVD, the installation stops with following error message:
    "Error: setenv file x:\setenv.ini or x:\tools\setenv.ini not found"
    Indeed, the file does not seem to be present, when looking at the x:\ filesystem from the console. However, it's present when viewing the DVD from Windows.
    I have found following help on this: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0302U10000R01.htm , however, Qosmio's bios isn't like Satellite's bios. I can't find settings provided.
    How do I fix this error in Qosmio?

    Qosmio G30 is old notebook model and it cannot be covered by standard warranty. It is too old.
    This Toshiba document, that describes certain issue on newer Satellite Pro L500D and Satellite Pro L550D, has nothing to do with your old Qosmio notebook.
    I also believe that HDD can be troublemaker so check HDD using different tools and following Akumas advice.

  • Only get message error -2000 when trying to play DVDs

    I just downloaded Quicktime Pro and I have Quicktime 7.0 My computer is PC running windows Vista. When I drag the file to the Quicktime icon to play a DVD using the player it says error -2000. If I try to open the file Quicktime is not an option. Does anyone else have this problem? What do I do?

    I'm having the same problem. Until this week, the .mov files my friend was making for me with his camera played through Quicktime without a problem. They opened automatically, but only through the DVD player. Currently, after updating (thinking that was the problem) I can see that there is a file on the disc when in the DVD slot, but if I try to open it, I get error -2000. If I place it in the CD slot, it looks like an empty disc. When I did a system restore and went back to the old version of Quicktime that has worked in the past, I had the same problem.
    I'm wondering why it played from DVD before, but not now? Any ideas???

  • Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

    An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
    To replicate:
    The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
    On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
    Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
    browser being run on windows 7:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
    browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
    Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

    It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
    error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

  • Canon MX860 get error 300 when printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    I've been printing wirelessly for several years and most recently after an upgrade to OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite it was printing fine until this morning. Something changed and I get error 300 when I try to print. If I connect my MacBook to the Canon MX860 printer using the USB cord it prints fine so I'm assuming it's some sort of wireless connection issue. I powered down and up both the printer and the Macbook and still get the error. I tried the "Reset Printer System" from the System Preferences and now I can't add the printer back in. I tried using the CD that came with the printer to reinstall the wireless connection and the set-up program says it's incompatible with my operating system and refuses to run. Any assistance to help me print wirelessly again would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    After further investigation, we believe this is due to an intermittent  modem problem and is not the fault of the printer or MacBook.

  • Get error msg when opening iphoto from Photoshop: "Open iphoto 5 or later..

    I get an error msg when trying to open a photo in iPhoto from Photoshop: "Open iPhoto 5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list." ... but in info it says I have iPhoto '08.... I am confused.... what is iPhoto 5, and how is it different than iPhoto '08? I have not had this issue before today.... previously it was working fine.
    Please email me when answered as it took me a while to find this forum and I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again.
    Thanks,
    <edited by host>

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Error message when loading windows

    I have been using windows on my mac for months and all of the sudden I am getting an error message when I start windows. No matter what I do(report or just close it), it comes up every time I start windows. There is no code telling me what kind of error it is....? I can still open and use windows, but it always starts with giving me this message. Can someone help me with this please Thanks

    Do you still get the error when you boot up in Safe Mode?
    Whatever, there might be some corruption.
    Maybe you could try rolling back to the last restore point if you have one.

Maybe you are looking for
