If you haven't burned a Windows 7 System Repair disc, download one by scrolling down to the link Windows 7 System Repair Disc 64-bit here.
Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc
Then try a Startup Repair and a System Restore from the Windows Recovery Environment.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
Let us know how it goes.

Stuck on Grey Start Up Screen / Won't run safe mode

Hi
My MacBook Air is about 6 months old. It is a 13" 2GB thing, running.. the OS before Lion, which is all up to date. Err. These are things I'd normally have to look at on my Mac, but I can't!
This afternoon it was running slowly / a bit crashy, so I decided to reboot it. It has never rebooted. It got stuck on the grey page with the Apple and the loading circle. I left it, but half an hour later it was still on that. I managed to find out safe boot using my iPhone so I've done that, but it's the same - a little progress bar pops up, fills about a third, and then it just goes back to the apple and circle page. I left that 40 minutes but no luck.
Is there other stuff I can try? What is wrong with it? Please don't make me go to the Apple store haha, it's always too busy and stresses me right out!
Thanks in advance for any help you offer

Reinstall OS X. Use the original installer disc that came with your MBA.
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

The Firefox window doesn't open at all I can't run safe mode or make other trubleshot changes

since yesterday 08/10/2011 the Firefox window doesn't open at all I can't run safe mode or make other trubleshot changes. When I click on the desktop short-cut the Firefox windows starts loading but before open is crushing.I have sent several messages to you but no answer and my Firfox is not working.

Which version of Firefox and which OS are you using?
There are other ways of opening safe mode given at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode - See if that helps.

Firefox crashes on startup, cannot run safe mode

Have been unable to start firefox 18, crash reporter pops up immediately without opening the browser. Tried reinstalling the software with no effect. Cannot open browser to run safe mode. I am not aware of any new software that was downloaded recently that would interfere with this.

hello erikwaynej, this crash is caused by Websense Endpoint security software that is running on the other system. please try to install all the updates for this program that are available...

WIndows failed to start. (0xc0000225); cannot run Safe Mode and no install disc

Hello,
I am currently having a huge problem where my computer is stuck on "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the case. To fix the problem:..." (SEE IMAGE)
I have tried finding solutions online but none have worked. My computer DOES NOT go to safe mode if I press F8 nor do I have an 'installation disc'. In fact, I tried the recovery discs from my brother's laptop and the computer doesn't even recognize that they're
in the disc tray.
My computer is an Acer Aspire M3470 running Windows 7 Home Prem OA.
If it helps, this occurred when I tried running Spybot S&D due to Malwarebytes refusing to start up (pretty sure I had a virus of some sort).
The other image is what shows before the error screen; pressing CTRL-F does nothing.
Thank you in advance!

I have obtained an installation ISO and put it on both a disc and USB but neither work. I get a blue screen with the following text and cannot proceed no matter what I press:
"RECOVERY You pc needs to be repaired. The application or operating system could not be uploaded because a required file is missing or contains errors...
File:\WINDOWS\system32\winload.efi Error code: 0xc0000225
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media, contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer.

Satellite L355 disk read error/no safe mode

I have a Satellite L355 with Windows Vista. When I start my computer, it says "Disk read error, press crtl alt delete to restart".
I do not have the recovery disk, but I did buy the Ultimate Boot CD. I have tried everything on there with no luck. It also will not let me start in safe mode. I press F8 at startup and it goes to a black screen with an underscore, and that's it.
Any ideas would be helpful, I've tried and searched everywhere. Thanks.

I don't know where do you live and it is not easy to send you some webpage if you don't understand what is written there. The fact is you need 2,5 250 GB SATA hard disc.
How to replace the HDD you can see step 1 and step 2 .

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. :)

Powerbook G4 wont' boot -- won't allow safe mode either...

My powerbook G4 took a dump. When trying to boot it makes the start noise,the white apple screen appears, then it kills off and black screens.
I tried to get it in safe mode to clean up the drive space but it failed to do that. I got the powerbook to make the 3 starts noises (by holding down a few buttons) but would just cut to black same as before.
Any help out there?
Thanks

Oh yeah, also I tested the monitor by wiring it to my TV and it's fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

Imac 2011 27" won't boot / safe mode / install disc / bootcamp

I've been having an ongoing problem with my computerwhere it randomly crashes. my first visit with the Apple Store resulted in a replacement of the video card. that only fixed the issue for less than a month. during the second visit they did a full hardware test and deduced that the third party RAM was defective.I was also advised that the OS would need to be reinstalled. when I got the computer back I was able to boot up the system without issues, but before I could back anything up it crashed again. Now I cannot restart the computer past the spinning wheel I get a white screen. I cannot boot the computer into safe mode either. I have the original installation disk but it also hangs after the spinning wheel. I have also tried loading up boot camp and that also hangs after the Windows screen. I was however able to load up Windows in Safe Mode. does anyone know what is going on here?

Try restarting while holding down the Option key. Theoretically, that will prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk. If the startup disk is not available, then it's probably time for another trip to the Apple Store.
Did you by chance purchase AppleCare ??

After rebooting from safe mode, the system doesn't come up.

I have a macbook pro (2011), and I had a problem with its fan which was always on. i made a quick search and found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3787129?start=0&tstart=0
i applied the procedure explained by the last response by Linc Davis who suggested to boot in safe mode and check if the problem still exists. I did so and found out that the fan wasn't running in safe mode. However, after I restarted the machine to boot regularly, the os didn't start. I keep seeing the gray screen with apple logo and the process indicator. After one day, I still have the same problem. Can any body help me with this?
Thank you

Linc Davis who suggested to boot in safe mode and check if the problem still exists.
I keep seeing the gray screen with apple logo and the process indicator.
What occured is Safe Mode performed disk repairs that didn't fix your drive corruption.
When you rebooted normally, the at boot FSCK drive check fails to complete thus you see the gray screen with stuck progress bar.
Your next actions are as follows.
1: If you have a lastest backup of your files off the machine to a external storage drive or bootable clone, then your good to go. Have your boot drive replaced by Apple and restore from backup.
2: If you don't have a latest copy of your files off the machine and need data recovery off the drive, then first seek the services of a local PC/Mac software specialist.
Only having a TimeMachine drive for backup is problematic for the fact that it's data gets corrupted when your boot drive get corrupted, so it will either fail to restore or restore and your problems seem to reappear. You can lose all your files as many here have found out.
3: If your under AppleCare or warranty, most certainly have Apple replace the drive and check the machine out. However if your a tinkerer, out of coverage, you can replace the drive yourself in some models of Mac's and reinstall OSX and return files from the storage drive or the clone. (clones can be accessed for just the files without restoring a corrupted OS X/programs)
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
Reset your Mac

Firefox 8: home page won't display, cannot enable tabs at all on 64-bit win7, even running safe mode with all add-ons disabled

(Firefox 8) cannot display home page without explicitly typing into address bar (not at start-up and home button doesn't work either). Also, cannot see tabs at all (enabled or disabled).
Any suggestions?????

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

Error Message saying Itunes running safe mode

Everytime I open Itunes I receive an error message stating Itunes exe. has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of windows. For best results turn off compatibility mode before you open it.
How do I turn of compatibility mode.
Second question is last night I was updating my Ipod with new music and left it to charge overnight and when I woke up all the music on my ipod was erased and battery was dead. Is this normal or should I be concerned???

Satellite M50-130 won't run - BSOD appears

This M50-130 apparently won't let you run it unless it's on the lowest power setting imaginable. At first I thought it was windows, reinstalled, even tried linux, same lockups.
The lockups were either instant reboots or random messages on BSODs. With the lowest power setting it keeps getting on.
The most peculiar thing is that it is not even heat related since I left it off and even without a batter or anything connected for hours and even then got the symptoms. The only way to keep it working is to leave it on the lowest cpu setting imaginable on the power thingimagy on the taskbar and leave it there.
I was using it on a medium-setting for a day and worked but then it hanged again on a game.
I thought at a point it's the ram, nope, checked it and the only error I could get was not on the memory check but a total system hang/reboot.
Then I thought it was the omega drivers, I replaced them with the default toshiba drivers, still the same. Of course, I'm afraid those driver updates may have had a damaging lasting effect but anyway.
The behavior of the lockups/random messages on BSODs seem to be quite random but it seems to stabilize when I just boot windows and leave it on a lower power setting I've made ('1' cpu constant, power consumption optimal, or '2'')
This has no warranty and I really need a laptop NOW so you understand I'm left with two options: either fix it fast any way I can or just buy a new laptop.

Hello Lela
Your troubleshooting is really impressive and all you tried is right but you must ask yourself is there really something else you can try? I do not think so. If the problem persists after clean OS installation (recovery image) then there must be some serious problem. I can not say for sure what the problem can be but technicians from authorized service provider.
Make a call and let them check the notebook. Maybe they will be able to fix this FAST.
Sorry but I really do not see any other option for you.
At the end I can just say: compare the repair price with prices of some new notebooks and I believe you will make right decision what to do.
