Pavilion p6285l - how to start Safe Mode (F8) ?

Pavilion p6285l desktop - how to boot in "safe mode" (F8 on most pc's) ?
Pushing F8 on startup many times, but no response. No "manual" in the box either.
F1 to F12 -- what they do on a HP desktop???
Want to run some virus tests in safe mode, since this 1 week old dekstop is already very slow.
IE8 and Windows 7, 32 bit ("dont respond" and hang 30-60+ seconds). Speedtests around the globe show ok, so might be virus.

For Windows 7 check this link: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01835750
For Windows 8 Try this one: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03439317
Hope this helps you out!

How to start safe mode while showing? Sign

My MacBook pro show

Hold down the Alt/Option key at Startup. This draws a gray screen, then takes a minute or more to add an icon for each potentially-bootable Volume, including Recovery volumes.
If a Recovery Volume appears, select it and proceed. Choose Disk Utility. Select your regular startup Volume, such as Macintosh HD and (Repair Disk) [This is possible because you are not booted from the Volume you are Repairing.] This should run for about five minutes and repair all problems, otherwise run it again until it comes clean or gets completely stuck.
Be sure to Set Startup Disk before you restart.

How to disable safe mode on xperia z1,power and volume button doesn't work

Hi rafharum,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
A simple restart to the device would generally resolve this issue, however if the power key and Volume key are not working they may very well be causing the handset to execute safemode when ever you power the device on.
If this is the case, you will need to get the handset to a service agent for assessment. Please use the link below to contact Sony Mobile Customer Care directly.

when i used disk utility when booting from the install disk im told the "disk is damaged " but the repair utility wont run sand tells me to back up etc....
i cant make a new partition , and i cant make an image
please help

I fully agree with BDAqua.
Don't do anything with this Mac until you have an external disk which you can boot your Mac from.
Not all USB disks are easy to boot from - FireWire is better
When you have a suitable empty external disk I advise:
Put install DVD into damaged Mac
partitioning external disk into 2 volumes
install OS onto one volume of external disk
Don't import anything during install process - it may reintroduce historic problems
Boot external disk
Use finder to copy critical data from Mac to volume of external disk with OS
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole Mac hard disk to the other external volume
Boot into installer DVD and erase Mac's internal disk
Partition internal disk into 2 volumes and install OSs as required

Satellite T135 How to enter Safe Mode and HDD Recovery if "F8" doesn't work

Hello everybody
I have a Toshiba Satellite T135 Laptop and it has recently crashed. Since then, every time I switch it on, Startup Repair automatically gets enabled. But it fails repairing the error.
I tried to resolve the problem with System Restore, but that didn't work either. So I think I have to go through the HDD recovery procedure.
The problem is, that I have a lot of data on my laptop that I need to safe first. I wanted to do this via Safe Mode which I supposedly should be able to enter by pressing "F8" while initializing, when the Windows logo appears. But my laptop doesn't react when I press F8, but rather begins to make a alerting sound, if I press the button for a longer time.
Apart from how to enter safe mode when pressing F8 while initializing doesn't work, I do have a second question: Is Toshiba Recovery Wizard the equivalent for HDD Recovery Procedure? That's the only similar option I've been able to find...
Thank you very much for your advice.

Hi buddy,
Yes, the Toshiba HDD recovery option will wipe the *first* partition of HDD. Thats the partition where Windows is installed so all files on this partition will be deleted to restore the original out of box settings. If you have stored the data on this partition they will be deleted but all data on second partition will not be deleted.
You can perform a backup if you buy an external HDD case as MisterX suggested. Put the notebook HDD into this case and connect it to another computer. Then you can back up all files that you need. :)

How to restore Safe Mode Mode in WindowsXP SP3 in Lenovo ThinkPad R61

Hi!
Normal loading is functional. But if you select Safe Mode the computer hangs. Perhaps this is the result of a computer virus. How can I fix it? You can use components ThinkVantage?

when you press f8, if there's an option "known good last configuration" select that and try again.
one key theater ( for ideapad and 3000 serie ) has an option including virus scan.
if you start your computer with one key recover, you can select anvirus before windows loads.
if there's an option like that, i suggest you to perform this.
i believe performing clean windows installation will solve your issue but let's try some other options before it.

Powerbook G4 only start safe mode

Hello i have powerbook g4 with cpu 1.25ghz. I use to have mac os4.1.1 installed. Lately had freexing problem and as it was a very old install i tried a fresch install. I downloed os as i lost my original dvd. Tried 10.4.3. Install go fine but never start when it finish. Only in safe mode will start. What could i check?please help

When there is a problem with an OS X, such as those usually installed from DVD system media
you would need to use the boot-able install-restore DVD (or later retail DVD, if not original grey
color label discs) to see about repairing the problem. You cannot update or upgrade to make a
problem go away. And an offer/download of a complete OS X system (torrent?) is not legal.
With an older computer, there is a fair chance the original hard disk drive may be failing; so that
is something to think about when you have an internal hard disk drive that spins thousands of
rotations per minute and gets written to & read from millions/billions of times a year....
The download update is only a minor step, and if you chose to download that from somewhere
other than the Software Update (via computer access to Apple Server) the actual one to seek
if everything was in great shape with your computer, would be the Combo 10.4.11 last update.
These steps are considered updates & not upgrades. The distinction is more than a word deep.
You will have to locate the correct DVD install media since a download from the internet of a
complete OS X Tiger 10.4 system is not available online; anything you may find very likely is
an illegal download and may be full of bogus content, such as malware or missing files, etc.
Apple no longer sells these discs, you may contact Apple sales support and have your product
serial number (PowerBook G4) available to ask an OS X specialist, if it is possible to get some
kind of operating system install DVD for that old a computer. The newest it could run would be
Leopard 10.5 (install from DVD, then download update to 10.5.8) however the Tiger 10.4 DVD
may be an expensive item if you look at Amazon or eBay sites online. Expect to pay...
You may have some luck if there happens to be an Apple User Group in your locality or if a
school or university has a computer lab and has not cleaned out their archive of old OS X.
School rummage sales, second hand shops, and other local finds are random luck events.
Good luck & happy computing!

Pavilion p6110f get stock in safe mode

I tried to get it out of it but it can"t come out

Hi,
You may want to check the following.
When windows has loaded in Safe Mode, hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run Box type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, click the Boot tab and if there is a tick in the box next to 'Safe boot', click the box to remove it. Click Apply to save the change then click OK. Restart the PC to see if Windows will now boot normally.

How do I get out of safe mode in windows 8.1

I entered Safe Mode in my Envy TS 15 running windows 8.1 to fix some issues with my Norton software and now I can't figure out how to exit back to normal mode. Internet is shut off in safe mode (even though I selected safe mode with networking) so I can run any of the Help & Support resolutions. Anyone know how to do this?
This question was solved.

Nanna,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Try / Consider
Control Panel > icon view > Administrative Tools> System Configuration >
Boot Tab > UNCHECKSafe Boot
Restart/ Reboot the computer and log in
OR
Another path to the same place:
·         Start the notebook and let it start up in Safe Mode
·         Log in
·         Windows key + R(Opens the Run Window)
·         Type msconfig
·         Opens the System Configuration Menu > Click Boottab
·         REMOVE the tick next to Safe Boot > Applyto save
·         Restart/ Reboot the computer
==========================================================================
In addition, you might make sure your security router is set to
Encryption type AES
and
Security type WPA2-Personal
==========================================================================
For later, this is real useful to have and it is easy to set up. I have done this.
Safe Mode can easily be added to the boot screen!

Why did firefox and thunderbird both start in safe mode?

Turned on my computer, ran firefox and thunderbird like I always do, and they both started in safe mode. They both showed a box before opening that said they are running in safe mode. Why would they do this?

My PC was lagging because I had just started it. I clicked on the icons and then went into a text editor before they finished loading and was pressing shift while doing some text editing lol. Thanks for solving the mystery, I never knew about shift clicking to start safe modes.

How do I enter Safe Mode on my Satellite U300?

Does anyone know how to enter safe mode on my u300. tried the usual F8 without success
Any Ideas?
Have got "The User Profile Service failed the logon." and was going to try system restore to resolve it.
Any help would be appreciatted.

Hi
You can enter the advanced boot menu only using the F8 button.
Did you try to press it several times in row?
You should press it immediately after the notebook has been powered up!
Sorry but other way is not known to me
You could try to boot using an Windows Vista disk.. this could help to repair the OS.
In worst case you have to reinstall the OS... :(
