Error: Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

PLEASE HELP!
My Lenovo SL500 is not working at all - I get error: "Windows Vista failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause"
I tried the following on my Lenovo:
Windows repair menu = "windows cannot be repaired"
Lenovo Rescue and Repair
Rescued my files from Hard-drive (copied to external hdd)
Restore System = Failed
Diagnose hardware = HDD passes all tests
Don't know what else to do with = Boot from another device ? Access BIOS?
Because I do not have the windows vista install disks
I purchased and downloaded the recovery disks from neosmart.net
The neosmart windows vista recovery disks DO NOT WORK = Error is "Unable to find any valid Windows partitions on this computer".
The Hard-drive exists because I was able to back-up files from HD through (Lenovo Rescue & Recovery Rescue files). So there is a hard-drive.
I don't know what to do next?
Last resort is to Factory Restore via either the Lenovo R&R or Windows Vista Recovery Disks (neosmart)?
Will I still have windows?
PLEASE HELP!

Hi, Josemne
Yes, if you can restore the system through Rescue & Recovery, then you will still have WIndows on your machine, but all your files will be deleted from the hard drive. Luckily, you have already saved those files elsewhere. I would recommend trying to restore the system and see if that works.
Best,
Adam

Hi 12345Kiran,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and looping repair screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset. When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore.
I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,
If the old disk drive is SATA, just pull it and install it in the new computer using a SATA power connector from the power supply and a SATA data cable.
If it is an IDE drive, use the data cable from the old computer and plug it into the IDE port on the motherboard. Connect a 4 pin drive cable.
All of the cables are keyed and they will only go in one way.
You could boot into safe mode, run device manager, then uninstall any drivers you believe are no longer in use.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause.

Hello,
Last night when I was finished using it for the day I went ahead and shut it down. Prior to shutting it down it was working perfectly fine. When I went to boot it up this morning, I kept getting the error that windows was unable to start normally and it took me to startup repair multiple times. I don't have the operating system disk (Windows 7) anymore I'm not sure if my computer just didn't come with a windows 7 disk. All I know is that I don't have it anymore. I tried basically everything I could find on the internet that was supposed to help with it and nothing works. I tried going into safe mode and using the command prompt, still nothing. It's now just showing up with a screen saying "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. But like I said, this comes as a problem seeing as though I don't have my windows disc. I would really like to now if there is a way to fix this problem. I am requesting your help to fix this issue.

try to download and burn a copy of win7 from forums.MyDigitalLife.info
match your version and bits of windows
then run repair / Startup Repair 3x off the win7 dvd without letting it try to start into windows. rebuilds your partition tables and fixes a lot of things.
if that doesnt get you into windows... read up and run SFC /offwindir /offbootdir from the win7 dvd
you dont say much what you've tried .. i assume you tried from the F8 menu / startup repair / an older system restore date ?
You need the windows7 dvd !!!

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

I'm using HP dv6 7043 cl. My system was really slow. It was taking almost 7 mins in startup. I tried to reboot but I think I chose the wrong option while doing it. I pressed F9 button. It asked me to choose DVD-R or usb. I chose dvd option as my recovery was made on discs. Later it gave me the hp recovery menu options. There, I chose system recovery. It did it successfully but now the windows is not starting. It says Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Can someone please help and tell me how can I solve this issue and again get back my original windows?

Hi,
Assuming this may just a problem with the recovery media/process, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source - Digital River.
Windows 7 Images.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

HP Pavilion dm4. Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dm4-3114TX running Windows 7.
The laptop went to sleep during a windows update then froze, so I pulled the battery out to restart it. Each time it restarted it kept taking me to a grey screen. I've tried F8, F2, F10, F11, going to advanced settings and no matter what I click on it takes me back to the grey screen with no options (the cusor does move though). It did let me run memory tests though and they seemed to be fine.
I then pulled the internal hard drive out (probably shouldn't of done that) and put it back in. It does the same thing, only this time it's a black screen (cursor moves but is over sized).
I've got file's on there that I do want back, but at the point where I don't care and will wipe it all to factory settings, but unable to even get to those options. I have brought recovery disc's but they don't seem to help either.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.

Hi @DannyLongLegs ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that while doing a Windows update the computer went to sleep and then froze. You removed the battery to restart it but you only get a grey screen.
You were able to access the diagnostics and test the memory and it was fine. You removed the hard drive and reinstalled it.
Now when you boot up you have a black or blank screen but it is oversized.
There are some recent Windows updates that have been causing some issues.
First I would try to boot into safe mode to remove the most recent updates. Please look for these and remove them if found.
KB2982791, KB2970228, KB2975719 and KB2975331.
Another program that may be causing this issue is "Search Protect" if that is located please remove it also.
Entering Safe Mode (Windows 7)
See which Windows updates are installed ( from window.microsoft.com)
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
If the issue is not yet resolved I would do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
During the recovery process you will see an option to backup your personal files to prevent loss. As you stated you have files you would like to retrieve, I would do the backup.
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 7)

My pc is a Compaq Presario CQ62-216DX Notebook. It also says on the screen, Description: fix problems that are preventing windows from starting.

Hi,
Shut down the notebook. Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory. Post back with the details of any error messages.

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change... Bootcamp

Hello everyone, I really need help...
I have a MacPro, Snow leopard, BootCamp 3.1. I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on Bootcamp. I also use Vista home on Parallels 6 (this might be a factor, I don't know yet).
Everything was fine. After a few days, when I tried to start up my mac in Vista via Bootcamp, I get a black screen from windows (windows boot manager), telling me a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. File: \Boot\BCD Status:0xc000000f An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
After that, the system freezes.
When I start back up in OS X, I open the BootCamp Drive... and nothing is on there. Unmounting and mounting doesn't help. Before I was able to see the files. The only way to repair is to delete and make a new partition. I have 3 HDDs so I decided to dedicate a complete single, physical drive to Windows. Same thing after 3 days. Programs I used under Mac OS X were Parallels, Dragon Age, Steam. But nothing which should write or delete the Windows Boot.
What is the problem, anyone else experiencing the problem? It is a pain, cause re-installing it every 4 days and updating it all takes half a day.

At this day and age, I'd dump Vista.
You can:
try safe boot
run sfc /scannow
restore to last restore point
rollback driver update
run chkdsk and attempt to fix bad blocks
boot from your Vista DVD and use System Repair features
run out and buy Windows 7 Pro x64

You tried Bing I hope. Quite good hits.

There are currently two ways of repairing the Windows Vista bootloader:
1.With EasyBCD via the Diagnostics Section.
(Recommended, Easy to use and guaranteed results)
2.By booting from the Windows Vista DVD and using the recovery console.
(Use if you cannot boot into any version of Windows to use EasyBCD)

Lenovo T410s recovery windows 7 failed to start after the system instalation.

I've got a problem with the laptop Lenovo T410s. I've put the new HDD on it (tried even the same with a different HDD too), and started to instal WIN 7 64-bit from the recovery disks. I used to do it many times so far with different Lenovo laptops without any problems. But this time, a while before the end of the instalation (when processing the sdrivebackup.wim) it stops and comes with a statement: " the recovery process has been finished, please ...." (but I see that the progres bar is far awayfrom 100%) , and finishes the instalation, reboot the computer and it comes the screen with the statement from the Windows Boot Manager:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem (...)
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The selected entrycould not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt"
I read a lot about the ways to solve similar problems, but they don't work on my case. The strange thing is, that I can instal WIN 8 or WIN7 from regular Windows instalation disks (not from Lenovo recovery, but from normal universal Windows instalation disks).
As I told before, I tried it in 2 different HDD disks with the same effect. It looks that the recovery instalation stops before the end without instaling some files which are missing later during starting the system.
Anybody can help me with that problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesn't quite sound like it based on your reported error messages, but are you trying to do recovery to an advanced format HDD? (one with 4k-byte sectors)
I ran into that issue on a T400. The recovery media would run to completion then error out - with a somewhat different message IIRC.
There weren't appropriate drivers for an AF drive, and I couldn't find a solution. There's no way (that I know of) to inject drivers into recovery media the way one can with install media.
If this is an AF drive issue the only way to get around it may be to install to a non-AF drive (usually a small-ish one) and then clone to your new drive.
I may be totally off in left field here - just tossing it out as a possibility.

What I have tried so far:
Windows recovery of the disk that was in the box. Tried auto recovery and the last working state. No go. It wants me to reload Windows or do Advance load. I do not want to lose my personal data.
Took the hard drive out and put it into a Windows 8 with USB adapter. It comes up but the main drive is encrypted with HP secure.
Now the plan is to make an Image of Windows 7 and try to recover it of the DVD. I phoned a PC shop and they will charge me R430 to recover the data and same amount to put Windows 7 on again.
Thank you for the help. I had this new lap top for less than a month.

Windows 7 fail to start, no safe mode, no other options with F2, F12 or F8 etc etc

I have a newish Toshiba Pro/P300 laptop that came with Vista but I, perhaps foolishly, had a 'genuine' copy of Windows 7 Home put on it. It worked fine for 2 years then it started crashing for the past month(to save the disk/data supposedly) daily but just
recently it finally shut completely and gave the message below. I have attempted EVERYTHING to get into safe mode(cannot!) to get to the 'repair' window(cannot!). Tried F2, F8, F12 but it always comes back to this message and status code. I can get into
Set-up screen(BIOS) and have changed the thing to 'Compatability' but it made no difference. Not sure if I can do anything else in set-up. I do have the Toshiba Product Recovery DVD-ROM, Satellite Pro/P300, Microsoft Windows XP Prof - BUT I am desparate to
try to get the data back(especially on the desktop) before I try the XP disk, which I understand WILL LIKELY delete ALL data! If it in fact even works! Is this correct? Is there a 'repair' function in the recovery disk which will save my data? What can I try
to recover the data? Should I get someone to make cd boot disk or something? Keep in mind I am virtually pc illiterate!!
Hope someone can help...soon!

Satellite L300D-11A - Windows vista does not starts

Hi,
When I turn on my computer I get the following error message:
Error Recovery for Windows
Windows could not start up. A hardware or software change that was recently carried out may be the cause.
If windows files are damaged or incorrectly configured, you can start the repair tool to help you diagnose and resolve the problem. If the power supply was interrupted during startup, choose start windows normally.
Start startup repair tool (recommended)
Start windows normally.
After a while windows automatically selects the first option and try to load windows in recovery mode but then I get the following error:
"The installed software could not start. Click ok to shutdown the computer".
When it shutdowns and I start the computer again I get the same error message where I started with the 2 options of recovery mode or start windows normally.
When I select the 2. option (start windows normally), it loads windows and after a while reboots and then I get the same error again with the two options.
I have tried to boot from CD (recovery disk, vista bootable cd) and computer tries a while but then it gives up and start booting from HDD again. (I have altered to boot from CD first in BIOS).
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
I have Toshiba laptop model nr: L300D-11A

Hi
If I understood you message, you have tried to boot from Recovery disk and from MS Vista CD and neither recovery disk not Vista CD worked.
Is it right?
Hmm thats very strange.. Maybe you could remove the HDD from the notebook and could put it into an external USB HDD case.
Then you could format this HDD using another computer.
After that you could try to reinstall the OS again
Please also enter the BIOS and set it to default settings set the SATA mode to compatible and try to boot from Vista CD again
Good luck

Moving Library - Permission Error (Windows Vista)

I'm trying to move my iTunes media to an external hard drive, but I keep getting a Permission error when I try to consolidate my library. I've searched for ways to fix the permissions, but the only answers I've found are for Mac and I have Windows Vista.
Here's what I did on iTunes:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced
I clicked "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library"
Then next to "iTunes Media Folder Location" I hit Change and selected my external hard drive F: and the folder within it titled "iTunes Media Folder 2" and hit OK.
Then I hit:
File>Library>Organize Library>Consolidate Files
But then I receive this permissions error message:
"Copying failed because you don't have permission to change your iTunes Media Folder or a folder within it."
I tried going into my Music folder (not on iTunes, on my actual computer) to try and see what's wrong:
Start>Music>(Right click) iTunes folder>Properties>Security
And I have full control to edit/read/write, etc. so I have no idea what's going on.
Help, please?

To be more specific,
all the security type on bin directory property - on control, read, write, all have been granted.
I click on the bin directory, it is showing read only, then I uncheck it, and click apply to all subdirectories and confirm.
Then I check the bin directory property again, it is still showing read only.
thanks again
andrew
