Hey Captain_Nemo,
Sometimes there are just areas of the HDD that need repairing.
Please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices. ONCE YOU HAVE BACKED UP YOU SYSTEM--- Start by turning on the computer and immediately start pressing F11, Select the section that says you need to perform a repair of Windows or go to safe mode with command prompt. 
Can get to safe mode with command prompt?  sfc /scannow would scan your system for errors at the command prompt. You could check this Microsoft document on system recovery options. F10 BIOS setup and restore BIOS factory defaults.
 Hope this helps.
Thanks.

  • How to restore Windows 8 from a recovery USB on a tablet w/o physical keyboard?

    I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad tablet that came with Windows 8 Pro:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?DocID=PD026486
    The first thing that I usually do is create a recovery disc. This time I was able to create a recovery USB drive. But then I thought of something -- how would I recover from it?
    I asked at the Lenovo community site and people told me to connect a USB keyboard and press Fn + F12 during booting. The issue is that, first, I do not have a physical keyboard for it. Do I really need to pay $50+ just to boot from a USB drive? And
    secondly, even if I got a physical keyboard this tablet has only one mini USB port so if I use it up to connect a USB keyboard, how would I connect the USB flash drive?
    So can someone clarify this for me? Again, all I need to know is how to restore from a recovery USB drive.

    Hello Again Zubedi35!
            Ok, I think I have it covered. First, you need a key to be able to proceed with the installation process. When you get a key, go online and download the windows 8 usb installer to be able to install a properly formatted
    installation of windows 8 to your usb drive; make sure you use a windows 7 or windows 8 computer to format and install windows 8 to your usb- very important! Once you have windows 8 installed to your usb drive, all you need is the key and the installation
    process on your pc will be a cinch. But before you get ready to do the installation of windows 8 to your desired computer, first you must do one thing- reformat your hard drive again. Since you said you have another computer (preferably a desktop), you may
    place the hard drive from your laptop that you are trying to install windows 8 on and place that hard drive into the other computer- but you will need an external device to place the hard drive in to be able to reformat it if you don't have a desktop computer
    with an extra bay (slot to put an extra hard drive into) to place the hard drive in and perform the reformatting. I would try to find someone with a desktop that has an extra bay to place that hard drive in and reformat it (it must be a computer with a windows
    7 or 8 operating system on it so that you may be able to see the drive and perform the reformatting process. If you choose to do this, you must turn the desktop computer off and open the side of the computer then connect the hard drive to the sata connectors
    of the open bay. Then, turn the computer back on and go to 'My Computer' (on windows 7 computer) or click the little folder (File Explorer) on the taskbar and look in 'Devices and Drives' and the hard drive should show up next to the main drive (Local
    Disk C:). Formatting your hard drive is just like formatting your usb- just uses a different method of connecting. Try and purchase an external USB Disk Drive to install windows 8 to your pc from a CD if you choose not to go through this process of installation
    by usb. I hope this helps and please notify me if you have any other questions or if you need help through the installation process- enjoy your Windows 8 computer!

  • My Windows wont boot from the Recovery USB

    Hi,
    I created a recovery USB and when pressing f12 at start it does show me the USB as boot option. But when I select it nothing happens and it again shows me boot option.
    THe space consumed by recovery media is 10.1 GB and it wont let  me create it again . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello, your installation disk is running under OSX??? If no the media has a problem!!!
    1. Restart your mac and hold the alt (option key) to select media to install.
    2. Restart you mac and hold the "c" key to boot.
    an other solution is to make a partition on the hard drive and put a restore image of the Mac os X Installation dvd inside it then Restart your mac nad hold the "option" key and you will see the partition with mac os x installation and you can make a new installation from there.

  • MacBook Pro won't boot from Lion Recovery USB

    Help !!
    I just installed a new Seagate Momentus 750 XT hybrid HD in a MacBook Pro 6,2 which was running Lion.
    In preparation, I:
    1. made a complete Time machine backup on an External drive.
    2. Checked that the EFI firmware for recovery was up to date
    3. made a usb recovery stick and tested a boot with it (I thought)
    Now following the drive install, when I boot up with option pressed all looks good, I sign into my wifi and select the USB symbol Recovery HD.
    Then I get a blank screen and the back gets hot and the fan is whining, but nothing else happens.
    I shut it off by holding power and tried this again, no change.

    OK, so I'm on it now and have the HD formatted.  Whew, I hope that means it's not a cable issue.
    Do you know if the Install OSX widget will give me a choice to get Lion Back?  Your previous response seems to say no.
    It is asking if I want to install 10.8, but it won't just install 10.8 Mount Lion without asking me to Purchase it, right?
    -> If I'm restoring a TM backup, do I even need to install the OS first?

  • How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

    How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
    Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
    After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
    So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
    I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
    I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
    I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
    Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

    Thank you for responding.
    This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
    but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
    is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

  • CCM 8.6.1- Installation Failed. Restart install to recover from failure

    Hi All,
    I am installing CCM 8.6.1 on an MCS7835I3 platform. The platform came with CCM 8.6.1 preloaded on the harddrive. During the installation linux detected some compenents like NIC, Raid, and USB.
    then after checking some components i face below error
    "The installtion has failed and must be restarted to recover from the faliure.
    You may dump diagnostic information at this time to a USB storage key. Would you like to dump diagnostic information"
    I am try to figure out what is causing this message.
    Pls help me!!

    Hi
    It seems to me that your server did not begin the CUCM installation. If you already have pre-loaded CUCM media in the server hard disk then you should first check the boot sequence on the server. Make sure that the first option is the hard disk.
    Once confirmed, restart the server.
    If you still face the issue, then i suggest that you install CUCM from CD.
    Below is the installation document. Do check the server compatibility and hardware requirements.

  • [SOLVED] can't boot from ssd after "reset" from recovery usb flash drive

    I have a Twist s230u with the original Hitachi 500GB hdd, running Windows 8.1.  I want to replace the Hitachi 500GB hdd in my Twist s230u with a PNY 240GB SSD that i've purchased.
    While running Windows from the Hitachi HDD drive I followed the "create a recovery drive" procedure to create a recovery usb.  Then I removed the Hitachi HDD from the s230u and installed the PNY 240 SSD in its place.  I booted the s230u from the recovery flash drive that I made.  I selected the "Reset Your PC" option and then the option to wipe all partition/files.  After the Reset completes, I try booting from the SSD but am unable to do so.  I just go back to the F12 boot menu.
    I put the SSD in a drive dock attached to another computer.  Disk Management shows the partitions as follows - 
    I've looked at the partitions on the SSD after the Reset - Disk Management console shows a 1000 MB Recovery partition, a 260MB EFI System partition, and a 221GB primary partition with volume label Windows8_OS.  It is not marked as Boot, Page File, or Crash Dump.
    Diskpart shows an an additional 128MB Reserved partition between the EFI partition and the primary partition.
    I do notice that the 10.6 Lenovo Recovery partition is not present - but I did make sure that I included that partition on the recovery key - though the files on the recovery key only use 8.03 GB for some reason.  Made the key on two different flash media.
    Diskpart also shows the following for the SSD:
    DISKPART> attributes disk
    Current Read-only State : No
    Read-only : No
    Boot Disk : No
    Pagefile Disk : No
    Hibernation File Disk : No
    Crashdump Disk : No
    Clustered Disk : No
    (It also looks like this when I run DISKPART from the recovery media with the SSD inside the internal drive bay of the s230u.)
    When I did the Reset on the SSD in the s230u, and when I tried to boot from it - I had the Secure Boot disabled, the "Legacy Boot first" option set, etc.  
    Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to boot Windows 8.1 from this SSD in the s230u?  I've been working on this for a couple of days.
    (I also tried cloning the HDD to the SDD using Minitool Partition Wizard, Macrium Reflect, Clonezilla, Acronis, etc - the SSD wouldn't boot after those clone operations either, and I thought maybe I'd have better luck with a reinstall from the USB recovery media.
    (I also tried installing from a Windows 8 iso I burned to a DVD.  I got a product id mismatch message when I tried to install from that, and I was not allowed to proceed.)

    well, I seem to have solved my own problem.  Maybe someone will learn from my mistakes.
    I went into System Setup, went to the Startup tab, and changed the boot setting from "Both" to "UEFI Only".  After doing this I booted from my USB recovery drive, and Reset the PC.  After the Reset, I booted the s230u from the ssd, and I booted into a fresh Windows 8 installation.  
    It seems that the Reset operation could not work properly while the boot setting was "Both" (UEFI and Legacy) and "Legacy First."
    I got a clue when I looked at the contents of the EFI System Partition and there was nothing there except a Temp folder. The EFI System Partition had not been properly written by the Reset operation.  I got some helpful hints on how to see the contents of the EFI System Partition here - http://www.fixedbyvonnie.com/2013/12/how-to-repair-the-efi-bootloader-in-windows-8/#.U-Qz2_ldW7q
    I've also buggered up my original HDD now, so that it won't boot to Windows now.  Now to fix that!  

  • SW failures after replacing T510 HDD and re-installing software from Lenovo Recovery Disks

    Please help...
    I have replaced the 320GB SATA drive in my T510 after the original one started to fail. But the resinstalled software (taken from the recovery partition on the old drive) hs problems.
    I used the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the old drive to create a bootable Flash Drive in order to re-install to the new drive. It initially appeared that the recovery drive successfully reinstated Windows 7 and associated programs on the brand new (also Seagate 320GB SATA drive).
    All was good, I thought - Until I tried Windows Update
    Other things are not working well either - e.g. YouTube clips are not playing, IE is working very slowly to name but two.
    Windows update fails with the message "Windows Update Cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
    I have discovered on MS web site that there are fixes for this but the fixes I have tried do not work.
    The fixes all seem to look for and check that BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Windows Update Srervices are running. I have checked and both services ARE runing but still I get the failure message.
    When running the Microsoft Fix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071
    further errors are discovered stating that "troubleshooting was unable to fix all of the issues found.
    "Problems installing recent updates - not fixed"
    I have serached high and low and the only stuff I can find to fix windows update does not work.
    If the replacement HDD was brand new.
    Could it be that a BIOS update that took place at some point during the last year or two plus the recovery partition are somehow incompatible.
    Could it be that the recovery partition has created an unusable version?
    Advice on where to go next will be well received..
    Solved!

    Hello and welcome,
    One of the things that can cause this is migrating to an advanced format hard drive (one with 4kb sectors).  For some reason this confuses Windows Update - and some other things.
    This KB should help - if this is indeed the problem: Windows Update Fails After Installing New Hard Drive

  • MSI & ATI Radeon "recovered from a device Failure"

    .System:
    P4 2.4G 533Mhz
    MSI 645E Max-U with Sis 645 DX
    ATI Radeon 64 DDR VIVO AGP4x
    500 MB DDR PC2100 (266)
    80 GB HD ATA100
    Windows XP SP1
    The system just locks up, Dark screen and after a while turns to 640 x 480 4bit mode and says:
    "Microsoft Windows detected and recovered from a device failure. Please save your work and reboot to restore full functionality."
    From other forums same thing happens in Gigabyte, asus and via. It looks like asus has allready made a new bios update for there board I hope MSI do the same thing soone  ;(  ;( .
    Aparently 8X havent been fully exploted and there are some glitches. On top of that Windows XP and 2000 have some reflesh problems over 60 Hz (as it says in ati web)
    Mean while is up to us to look for workarounds until they do there job.  If the Mobos (motherboard) makers dont make the change then it will have to be up to ATI.
    Aparrently disabling the Fastwrite on windows helps a lot.  So far I have had this problem making a data backup on a DVD-R so two DVD-R wasted.
    If you want more info on where I got all this go to:
    http://www.rage3d.com/board/showindex.php?s=&threadid=33662452
    It looks like NVidia is having the same problem too but sorry cant help you there. go to this link to see if they can help you:
    http://www.tek-tips.com and search for weirdest video card problem   thread749-458930

    Your video card doesn't support AGP 8x, so that shouldn't be a factor at all.   Does SmartGart report it running at 4x?
    Did you do a clean install of XP when you started using your mobo?
    Has this problem only occured when using your DVD burner?  If so, the problem may lie with that.
    Only other suggestion... maybe time for a new video card?

  • How to recover from a software failure on the 6120 Fabric Interconnect

    Hi all,
    Had a software failure while upgrading the fabric interconnects. Does anyone know the process to recover from a software failure.
    Ive copied up the kickstart and system images, from the loader prompt ive booted the kickstart image and then loaded the system image but the fabric interconnect still reboots to the "switch(boot)" prompt.
    Thanks in Advance
    Darren

    Hi Robert,
    Thanks for the tips, but unfortunately im still stuck on the switch(boot): prompt.
    The bootflash: only has 2 files in it, the kickstart and system image.
    Each time i get the FI to the boot prompt, i can ping the device, but not access via the GUI. (i dont have a local copy of UCSM installed)
    What files should i have in the bootflash: for the FI to correctly load.
    below is a log of the FI as it loads the kickstart image from the Loader prompt.
