Startup error message on Satellite M30-107

I get the following message when trying to boot up:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
\windows\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
What is causing this error message as I did not do anything which should have caused an error? I cannot repair using the setup disk as windows XP was already installed when purchased. Any ideas please?

Hi Linda,
This message is quite common and can indicate that there is a problem with your hard drive. It is always possible that the quoted file has been over-written or damaged by another application on your notebook but in my experience this is quite rare.
The Windows repair console is available if you have a copy of the original Windows XP installation CD but if you only have the recovery CDs that were supplied with your notebook then this option will not be available to you since the recovery CDs only contain a restorable copy of your operating system which you can use to restore your system. This will, however, erase all of your own personal data from the notebook.
If you have access to a stand-alone utility such as Norton Disk Doctor then I would recommend that you run a scan of your hard drive to ascertain what condition it is in.
regards,

  • Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

    Hi
    I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
    I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
    When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
    When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    jt

    Hi
    Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
    Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
    Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
    You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
    In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    Bye

  • Error: "Message short text 26 107 does not exist"

    Hi DS Expert,
    We've upgraded our DS from 3.2 into 4.2.
    But sometimes several jobs fail with error: "Message short text 26 107 does not exist".
    This error does not occur in DS 3.2.
    Please help...
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Such a message seems to be SAP/BI related.
    check wether you had shortdumps in your connected SAP system.
    In DS there are no "long/medium/short-" texts stored.

  • Satellite M30-107: WPA and WEP security software

    I wish to connect my Satellite M30-107 P-M 745 to an up-to-date MIMO G+ wifi network.
    I have bought a router and PCMCIA adapter card.
    I wish to set-up WPA and WEP security - do I need any special Toshiba software on the PC itself to do this, or do I just use the software that came with the Router and adapter card?
    Thanks

    Hi
    First of all you cannot both Wlan encryption WPA and WEP together.
    You can use either WPA or WEP. I would recommend using WPA because its safer.
    I agree with Barrie. If you want to use one of this encryption you should be sure that the WLan card and the router support this features.
    In my knowledge most of the newer Wlan routers supports WEP and WPA. In this case you have only check the WLan card if the option is available or not.
    By the way: You don't need any special software to set the encryptions.
    You can set the encryptions also in the Windows own WLan configuration area.

  • Blue screen error message on Satellite Pro A10

    Hi,
    I'm trying to help my inlaws with their Satellite Pro SPA10. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was running really well.
    Now it restarts about two seconds past the "use last good configuration" etc. screen, gets to this screen again then restarts immediately ad infinitum, never pausing on the error mesage for long enough to see what it says.
    I managed to get it to boot from the windows XP home disc and got as far as the repair or continue with installation screen. When I asked the computer to do either it crashes to blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
    *** STOP: 0x000000c5 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8082B98B)
    This is beyond my level of expertise, can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
    Thx

  • Database startup error message

    Hi Guys,
    When I startup my Database, I always see this error message printed in the trace file:
    Error in executing triggers on database startup
    *** 2005-12-09 11:12:42.817

    I have a few questions about the above message:
    1. How can I see which database startup trigger is having this error? Is there a way to determine that?
    2. Is there a way I can disable all triggers that fire on database startup? (just like we can disable triggers on a table)
    3. Any idea what ORA-36961: Oracle OLAP is not available. means?
    Thanks

    hey..thanks for the reply, I have checked to see if any triggers are enabled on startup from the USER_TRIGGERS
    SQL> select TRIGGER_NAME from DBA_TRIGGERS where TRIGGERING_EVENT='STARTUP';
    no rows selected
    SQL>
    But when I start my database, I again see this error message:

    ORA-06512: at line 4
    Is there any way I can check what trigger Oracle is complaining about?
    Also, how can I disable OLAP so that I don't see the OLAP error message?
    Thanks

    Description:
    The National Instruments Domain Service service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).
    For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
    I checked the forums at NI and found a similar problem with a computer with Windows Vista installed. I have Windows XP Professional installed on the computer, but tried the update through the self updating feature of the NI software.
    After the update the problem remains exactly the same.
    To find out more about the error, I checked several Windows properties to identify the cause of the problem. One thing I found was on the Services control, under Administrative Tools. After the error message during boot, the services window shows up 2 services whose status is "Stopping" and the startup type is "Automatic". This services are:
    Lookout Citadel Driver
    National Instruments Time Sincronization
    I'm using an IBM ThinkPad T30 (Type 2366-BG1) with Windows XP Professional with 768Mb of memory, 80GB HDD.
    Can anyone give me some hints on this matter?
    Thank you in advance.

    Good morning.
    I tried the steps suggested but the problem remained. I then decided to try some aditional steps and apparently the problem is solved. I describe the steps I took bellow.
    The problem was related to my antivirus / firewall solution, Panda Antivirus + Antispyware 2007.
    1. I changed the previously mentioned Windows services startup to "Manual" instead of "Automatic".
    2. Rebooted the computer.
    3. Opened the services control in Administrative Tools.
    4. Selected the first service "Citadel..." and pressed the "Start" button.
    5. After a few seconds, the firewall solution presented a window stating that the program was attempting to access the internet (or my LAN). I selected "Always allow".
    6. I repeated this step for all the others NI services. Some produced the same feedback, others didn't.
    7. Changed the startup type of the services to the values I had written down before.
    8. Rebooted the computer and everything worked fine.
    It seems my firewall solution is unable to cope with a program trying to access the Internet (or network) before a user logs in.
    Thank you for your support.
    Best regards,

  • LV Startup error message - windows installer

    Hello Everyone,
    Whenever I launch startup LV, I get the attached error message. I had installed an application which was located in a network drive. The application was deleted from the network and from my pc. Its no longer used but whenever I launch LV, this message comes up (and at various other times). Is there any way I can get fix this it short of a full re-install?

    Hi DavidT!
    The image that you attached said that it is looking for "install.msi". If you had a shortcut to LabVIEW, it should have been pointing towards LabVIEW.exe.
    Secondly, what do you mean by "I had installed an application which was located in a network drive. The application was deleted from the network and from my pc. Its no longer used...". By "application" do you mean an EXE file that you created using Application Builder in LabVIEW? If so, it shouldn't make a difference if you delete the application or not (for starting up LabVIEW purposes).
    Maybe a better explanation of your situation might help too! However, if time is critical, I would probably just reinstall LabVIEW. It really doesn't take that long!
    Hope this helps!

  • FCE 2 first time startup error message.

    I am trying to install FCE 2 on a mac mini with 0.5Gig ram. I am using the master disk. I get the following message on startup for the first time. You must have at least 1 Easy Setup file. Please re-install Final Cut Express HD and try again.
    I have tried Tom's suggestions. Same problem on the second install. Any ideas. I updated FCE to 2.0.3. The specs list with my account are not correct for this computer. The operating system is 10.4.2.

    To whom it may concern:
    The IMG_ERR_PAR1 error is a little ambiguous and what I've initially found on it indicates that it pertains to a call made to a previous version of the driver embedded inside your driver install. A couple of ideas:
    1) Check that your interface name or board ID is correct in the IMAQ initialization (This is assuming that this error happens when you're running a program to execute a snap or grab. When you said "every first time startup - error occurs," I'm not quite sure what you mean as to when the error actually occurs).
    2) What version of the IMAQ driver are you using? I'd recommend that you make sure you have the most recent version available at http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0D10?o
    pendocument&node=132070_US. You'll want IMAQ 2.6.1.
    See if this will do anything for you. Best of luck. If we have to go further with this, I'll need more specific information than was initially provided.

  • Startup Error Message: System Extension Cannot Be Used

    Every time I turn on my computer, this error message appears. I have searched my Library > Extension folders and I cannot find the AppleUSBEthernetHost.

  • Startup Error Message

    Ive had my Ibook G4 for awhile now, and never had a problem like this. This happened out of the blue. I started it up today and I get a big error message in the middle of the screen. It has a power button in the middle of it and says "You need to restart you computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button."
    then says it in french and some other languages, I tried turning it off and on again and nothing happen.

    ...but I have lost my cd and all I have is my iBook and the power cord, what do I do now?
    If you call AppleCare Support, they can send you a new set of install disks for your iBook. They will usually charge you about $60 to do this, but that's less than the $129 retail price for a copy of Mac OS X that won't include the extras like the Apple Hardware Test and all the iLife applications that came with your iBook.

  • Uninstalled Bonjour, now startup error message.

    I have just set up a network using an Airport Extreme router. The users on the network all use Windows XP. The printer connected to the Airport is an HP 3050 AIO. Bonjour would see the printer but would not send print jobs.
    SWet the printer connections up manually by creating a new port address and setting it to 10.0.1.1 (the address of the router). All the PC's can now print. I uninstalled Bonjour from the PC's.
    The problem now is that when the PC's boot up, they show an error message "an application could not start because dnssd.dll could not be found". What is the application? Is a piece of Bonjour stil in Windows? The PC's have iTunes loaded. Is this the culprit?
    After I click "OK", the PC's finish booting, see the network, print normally, and acess the internet. How can I get rid of the error message?
    All help would be appreciated.

    You might try this:
    http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/02/10/how-to-uninstall-or-remove-bonjou r-mdnsresponderexe/
    Here is the text from that page:
    Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on IP networks. Bonjour uses industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically discover each other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers.
    *How to uninstall Bonjour*
    If you’ve installed software by Apple such as iTunes, software by Adobe such as Premiere Pro, Skype, Gizmo, chances are there’s already a Bonjour folder in your Program Files. This service starts automatically and runs a process named mDNSResponder.exe which cannot be ended by Windows Task Manager. If you do not want Bonjour to be in your computer and want to uninstall it, sometimes you can’t find any uninstaller for it! Even if you go to Control Panel’s Add or Remove Program, you can’t find the uninstaller there as well.
    Here’s how to safely uninstall Bonjour and remove mDNSResponder.exe
    Just follow the few simple steps below to remove Bonjour fro your computer.
    1. Go to Start > Run > type the command below and hit OK.
    “%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove
    2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    3. Rename the mdnsNSP.dll file in that folder to mdnsNSP.old
    4. Restart your computer
    5. Delete the Program Files\Bonjour folder
    The first command will stop and remove Bonjour Service from your computer. To confirm, go to Start > Run and type services.msc. Look for Bonjour Service name. If it’s not there, you’ve successfully removed it.
    Gizmo Project has created a small tool (35KB TurnOffBonjour.exe http://download.gizmoproject.com/jasmine/TurnOffBonjour.exe) that turns off and removes Bonjour service. However, it will not remove the Bonjour folder from Program Files. You will still need to manually delete the Bonjour folder after restart. The reason why you’re advised to delete the folder after restart is in case there’s a problem, the Bonjour files are still there for you to restore.
    If you encountered problems after uninstalling or removing Bonjour, you can download and reinstall Bonjour.

    thanks for the update.
    there is no risk when changing settings in any OS user interface like System Preferences etc.
    there could be some risk in manually deleting files from Library folders, which is done sometimes to uninstall applications.
    keep in mind to regularly back up important files.
