HP Pavilion g6-2210us Notebook PC windows 8 failure. Anyone have any ideas on how to recover it?

I recently bought a Pavilion g6, got it in the mail, it worked perfectly. However, one day when I turned it on, it started to do its rounds of automatic updates. After about 10 minutes, though, our internet gave out and it stopped updating. Then, after a few minutes, it powered off. Now, whenver i turn it on, it gives me this: Error code: 0xc00000001 And tells me to use the recovery tools on my installation media. The thing is, I didn't have any installation media because windows 8 came preinstalled. When I try to recover it, it tells me that the operating system couldn't load because  a critical system driver is missing or contains errors. File: \windows\system32\drivers\ACPI.sys . So, I tried pretty much everything I could think of besides ordering a recovery disk, which would cost around $20. Which is kind of ridiculous to pay for soemthing I had no control over. So, before I blow $20, does anyone have any suggestions or ideas that could help? If you do, thanks!

My suggestion would be to do a system recovery from the recovery partition on your hard drive.
Here is a document with the steps on how to perform the system recovery: http://goo.gl/WlMzd

  • Photoshop v7.0 I get the error "missing or invalid personalization information"  This used to run, I'm now on Windows 7 64 bit.  Anyone have any ideas please?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    If my memory serves me right (it’s some while since I changed and I have not used Photoshop for some years…) I was running it on XP.  I upgraded to Win 7 on  a new machine but ported across files, programmes etc.  I cannot recall if Photoshop ever ran on Win 7.
    I have tried to reinstall but the CD is warped and despite applying pressure to it neither of my drives likes it.  I have Photoshop 7 on my third hard drive, a portable drive, which came from the XP machine.
    Sorry, long-winded but I hope it helps.

  • HT3842 Those steps don't work. I'm using the lastest version of itunes (11.0.1.12) on Windows. This article was last updated in 2009 and lists itunes 7.7. Anyone have any ideas, or is there a new article that accounts for the changes to itunes?

  • Just bought 4th Gen.iPod shuffle from Amazon.  My computer (Windows 7) wont recognise device, neither does iTunes.  Have reinstalled iTunes, and nothing seems to work,  Anyone have any ideas.

    Just bough 4th Generation iPod Shuffle from Amazon - comp;uter doesnt recognmise device, neither does iTunes.  I have re-installed iTunes, re-started Computer but nothing seems to work.       I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle and that is recognised by computer.  Anyone have any suggestions - I am at my wits end.

    There is a USB printer connected to the back port of the PC. The mouse and keyboard are both PS/2.
    I did attempt to reinstall the USB root drivers. After uninstalling iTunes and all the other apple software packages included, I uninstalled everything USB in Device Manager, then rebooted the PC to let Windows reinstall it all.
    Reinstalling the OS -might- fix the issue, but if that were the case, it's most likely just a software conflict that can easily be fixed if I can manage to narrow the specific conflicts down. I've already essentially disabled everything with MSCONFIG except for Apple stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go. I've attempted the 5 Rs and all that as well, none of it seems to do the trick. I also cleared the temp folder multiple times (once per each iTunes uninstall / reinstall following the support site directions of uninstalling all the extra apple software) as well as attempted restarts of the Apple services.
    One oddity I would like to point out is that if I attempt to restart the iPod service through services.msc, it will not restart. It throws the error message of "the service failed to respond in a timely fashion" or whatever. I instead have to use the windows Task Manager to manually kill the iPod process in the processes list.
    I just now removed the USB printer and plugged the shuffle into the same port, but I receive the same error message in iTunes about the iPod being corrupted and it needing a restore. If I push restore, the software gets stuck in an endless loop. There are no other USB devices attached to this computer, the motherboard drivers are fully up to date from nVidia's website, and other USB devices clearly function just fine (USB memory sticks, USB printer, etc). If I use the Diagnostics option under Help in iTunes, it will claim there is no iPod connected, and, again, the iPod still does not show up in Windows Explorer under My Computer as an attached device, nor does it show up in Disk Management as a mounted partition.

  • InDesign 2014 seems not to be recognized by Windows 7 anyone have this problem?

    All my InDesign files show the unrecognized file icon.  I can open the file if I drag and drop but not if I double click the icon.  I tried open with and selected browse and InDesign but it did nothing as did properties for the file association.  Anyone see the same problem or have any ideas about how to fix it?

    Reinstall...
    Some folks will tell you that you can fix this in the registry or through Windows file associations, but the truth here is that there's a problem with the icon handler .dll file that is supposed to show the correct icon for each version, and that won't get fixed unless you reinstall.

  • Bluetooth do not show or recognise cellphones on HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook with windows 8.1 pro

    Bluetooth do not show itself to or recognise cellphones on HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook with windows 8.1 pro 64-bit.Yes the comm say it is working fine but it is clearly lying and yes I did switch on visibility.I do not find any bluetooth driver on the Notebooks support page any longer.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook and Bluetooth not working. Here are some links that might help.  I would check to make sure Bluetooth is on. It shows you how to do that under Connecting Bluetooth. A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, from the Start screen, type Change Bluetooth to open the Search charm, and then select Change Bluetooth settings from the search results.  Hope this helps. Thanks.

  • I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
