Getting a Invalid Partition Table! message

Getting this message: Invalid Partition Table! after I ran a Windows Update downloads and install. My laptop is looping in start up. Not able to press F(, because the function is not activated. Anyway, I am not able to make a repair. The only thing I'm able
to run is the DOS-promt. And I can find this OS drive (C:\). I tested the SSHD with succes.
How did this happen? And how to solve this problem without a reinstall of Windows?

Do you have a Windows 8.1 media or a bootable USB drive?If then you can repair Start up/MBR.
Insert the Windows 8 Installation Disc in your system’s optical drive/a bootable USB
Select Repair option.
Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced.
From Advanced option,launch Command Prompt.
Enter the following command:
bootrec.exe /fixmbrReboot after the completion of the above command.

  • When installing CS5 Design Stanard I get an "invalid serial number" message. How do I check to see if the SN

    This is very frustrating! I can't get my program (CS5 Design standard) to load. I had a computer crash, and I get an "Invalid Serial Number" message every time. I'm using the same serial number that came with the program. What do I do next? I get sent into a loop of Q & A's whenever I ask a question. I have never seen a website with so many links before. Someone said to debug the SN#, but I can't find the link to debug. HELP!!!

    When I click on the link I just gave you, this is what I see:
    Your last message was ambiguous about whether you had actually talked to Web Chat.
    I've been told that Web Chat is handled from the US time zones so if you're in a different part of the world, you may have to accommodate that.
    Serial number issues cannot be handled in a forum because (obviously), you're communicating a serial number which would  be broadcast to the entire internet. Also, few Adobe employees are on most of the forums. There are NO Adobe employees on this forum.

  • I get an invalid serial number message

    Crashed my hard drive. Went to my Adobe account and pulled up my Products list. Downloaded CS5 and input the serial number in my Products list. Everything went fine. Downloaded Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and input the serial number in my Products list. Got "invalid serial number" message.
    What's the story? What do I do now?

  • Invalid partition table on system boot w/black screen

    HP Touchsmart Model # kq436aa-aba
    What do I need to do to fix this issue?

    My Touchsmart Windows 7 64 bit machine got this error two days ago while my daughter was either just browsing the internet or in iTunes.
    I used the Recovery CD's and repaired it after verifying all diagnostics came up OK.
    It ran for a day or so then we got the same error, this time my daughter said she was just browsing the Internet.
    I just used the Recover CD's and repaired it again.
    THis error has a number of google hits the last couple days not just for HP Touchsmart.

  • An interesting error: "recursive partition table"

    So I just found an old 8 Gb SD card I had forgotten about (and was overjoyed because I had just said "if only I had a bigger SD card". Why do good things happen to bad people?). Several months ago I'd used some Windows tool, I think, to make a live USB for ArchBang, which hadn't worked. I put it in my computer and ran `fdisk -l` and got this:
    # fdisk -l
    Disk /dev/sdd: 7948 MB, 7948206080 bytes
    64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 7580 cylinders, total 15523840 sectors

    When I ran gparted (a graphical partition editor), it threw up "Invalid partition table: recursive partition on /dev/sdd". Gparted then treats the disk as unformatted, which is presumably its "fallback" behaviour.
    This isn't actually a problem for me as I don't need any of the data on the card, but I thought it was a pretty interesting error, so I'd post it here for discussion. I can't work out what's going on, but it seems to me that someething is seriously bawsled up here! Perhaps there was a bug in the library the Windows utility used? I haven't found anything similar online, although this was interesting.
    Today may be a day for me to read up on partition tables and the heads/disks/cylinders/sectors/tracks abstractions!

    I get the same result when using dd to write the archlinux installer image to usb. It's nothing really. it can easily have a new partition table made with gparted. It's likely the tool you used in Windows also wrote the bootable image with a low level utility similar to dd. dd generally starts at the very beginning of a disk when pointed at the device and not a partition number. /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1. Meaning it overwrites the first 512byte sector too(mbr) With whatever the image/ISO contains. I've never regarded it as an issue. Just kinda confusing to tools that expect data like a partition table to be present in a normal structure.

  • Invalid Edit Error Message

    Hey guys, i was using final cut pro 4 to edit a movie for our film fest, and out of nowhere, the program is not letting us drag any clips into the timeline, it pops up with a message saying invalid edit. I tried to see if there was anything in the sequence options menu to help out but it crashed everytime i tried to open the options. I updated to FC HD and updated Pro App support, the program now works and i can get into the options menu, but i still get the Invalid Edit error message whenever i try to add a clip to the timeline, im going insane. please help

    Hey guys, bit of an update, i am not able to bring any clips into the time line unless i go in and set an in point and an out point for each clip manually before i bring them down. It didnt always used to be like this so if anyone knows how to turn off the setting or otherwise fix what may cause this to happen please let me know.

  • HT5225 "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme...". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSXLion. It has something to do with a repair Apple performed last year. I use a 17" MacBookPro. Any suggestions?

    "This disc does not use the GUID Partition Table Scheme. Use Disc Utility to change the partition scheme". I keep getting this message when I try to install OSX Lion so that I can upgrade my 17" MacBookPro to move to iCloud. My harddrive was replaced last year by Apple because of a fault by the manufacturer and I think this is the cause of the problem. What can I do so that I don't lose my content.

    When you click the partion tab. There is option on the bottom of the window. Click on that there there are these options.

  • "Invalid segment" when shrinking a partitioned table

    I'm encountering the following error when trying to shrink space compact for a partitioned table. Would you know how can I go about this?
    I need to make it work.
    SQL> alter table PS_SGSN_1_MONTH modify partition P_201304 shrink space compact;
    alter table PS_SGSN_1_MONTH modify partition P_201304 shrink space compact
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-10635: Invalid segment or tablespace type
    My Oracle DB version is 11gR2

    Yes, that would be the right thing to do to check how and where MV is being used and what downtime you can get to fix this. Check if you can change the Materialized view to create based on primary key instead of Row id.
    Steps would be
    1 drop the materialized views related
    2 drop the materialized views logs
    3 shrink the tables and indexes
    4 recreate the materialized views log
    5 recreate the materialized views
    Also, there is a bug with the primary key as well. Check this

  • Jumpstart: Fdisk Partition Table Invalid

    Hi,
    I'm jumpstarting a Sun server with Solaris 10.
    But during the jumpstart I received the next error:

  • How do I get my mac partition to use GUID partition Table Scheme?

    I just bought the upgrade for Mountain Lion on my Macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8). I went to install it and i had partitioned my internal harddrive with bootcamp to run windows 7. I went to select the Macintosh partition and it says that disk does not use the GUID partition Table scheme, and it will not let me select it for the upgrade. It says I have to use Disk Utility but I cant seem to figure out how to get it so I can upgrade it to mountain lion. Please help and thank you for your time
    P.S. - Let me know if you need more information to get to the conclusion to this problem.
