"The system is not fully installed" message appears after I rebooted my Windows XP.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1011 that I recently rebooted (returned it to factory settings). It has no disk drive, so I cannot put in the Windows XP CD-ROM disc to fix the problem. I DO however have an external mac disk drive. Will this work if I put it into
my Inspiron? Please refrain from linking me to Microsofts page where they "fix the problem", I find it useless.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I this fixed need ASAP because I am going to sell this soon!
Thanks!

try booting your S10 with the red backward arrow (one key recovery) key on the top of the keyboard.  this should boot the recovery partition, where you should be given choices of how you want to recover the system.  i've used it, and it took 5 minutes to restore my system to factory configuration.  give this a try and let us know how it goes.  if it doesn't work, call lenovo for warranty repair.  i heard the turnaround time is very quick for warranty repair.

    If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
    In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I  had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
    Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

  • "The update could not be installed" message

    Every time I start Firefox I get a dialog box with this message:
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure that there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer and then restart Firefox to try again. [OK button]
    I click the OK button, the box disappears, then Firefox starts up.
    It's annoying. I have tried updating Firefox in the Admin account on this computer, but even that has not worked. Why might this be happening, and what can I do about it?
    PS I don't do online forums, if you are a "Firefox expert" answering thsi question, by all means post the reply on the forum, but please also email it to me at my registration address. Thanks.

    So this is rapid updating? I had to stop using V5 because of problems. V5.01 did improve things. FF was still my default browser so I did get to follow the upgrade to V6. Now the suggestion that completely removing it and editing the registry will enable me to see if V6 is worth having. Please, this is not rapid. This is the kind of problem that stopped me using Norton, having to deal with more issues that actually using the software.
    No doubt I will attempt this sometime, by then though I may have just got used to Chrome [yuk]. It is not a good sign that being more news worthy is better than having a working product. I'm a web and app developer and it has served me well until V4 now it is just getting in the way and Mozilla seem to think that just one more rapid release [with problems like this] may just solve the problems.
    I think not after all I'm still waiting for MS to fix things that should have been better 10 years ago.
    I removed my current version. I check that the folders were gone. I reinstalled. I got an error:
    Error Platform version '5.01' is not compatible with minVersion >=6.0 maxVersion <=6.0

  • "the video is not available". this message appears every time I try to watch a video on youtube or m.you tube on iPad 2 IOS6

    Why do I get the following message whenever I try to watch any video on either youtube or m.youtube?
    "the video is not available"
    The video is certainly available as I can watch the identical video on my macbook.
    I have an ipad 2, runnug IOS6

    Do you have an example of such a video?
    If you went to m.youtube.com did you switch to "Desktop" mode at some point? If so, switch back to "Mobile version" (at bottom of page).

  • Make install message appear when deploying msi to Windows 7?

    Greetings!
    I've noticed that when deploying the Reader installer msi to Windows 7 machines via group policy that there is no message to inform the user that the install operation is taking place. Specifically, after the install policy is applied and the user reboots the machine, a message appears that is something like, "Please wait...", while Reader is being installed.
    If possible, I would like to customize this message to be more descriptive like, "Installing Reader, please don't shut down the PC." However, if customization is not possible, I'd at least like to revert the displayed message back to that shown on Windows XP systems. Specifically, when deploying Reader to a Windows XP, the default install message is something like "<program name> is being installed, please wait".
    I've run into a couple instances where Reader instalation over a VLAN takes over 10 minutes and so the user sees the "please wait" message and thinking that the PC is hung up forcibly reboots the machine thereby royally screwing up the Reader installation. I have to clean the registry in order to get the PC in a state where it will allow the Reader installation to proceed again--annoying. 
    So I'd like to know if there is a way to customize the MSI installation message for Windows 7 machines? If not, is there a way to revert the message displayed back to the Windows XP format?
    Thank you for your help.

  • ITunes will not fully install, it says i need bonjour permission (windows 7 64 bit)

    I recently got my new desktop computer. It is an hp pavilion with Windows 7 64 bit operating system. I began adding on the programs i wanted on my computer after starting it up a few days ago and found that everytime i try to download iTunes (64 bit) for windows it makes it through almost the whole process before it tell sme there was an error with ProgramFIles(x86) Bonjour mDNSResponder and something about how i may require permissions, i have gone on many websites trying to find the solution to my problem. I found out how to change the permissions on programs but when i try to do that to Bonjour it tells me i dont have the proper permissions to even get into the security settings. Please Help, i have been without a computer for several months which has gotten in the way of my iPod updating and all around music/movie enjoyment

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

    Hi,
    Could you please have a share with your phone's information?
    Based on what I know, different phones may have different softwares developed by the manufacturer to make the connection through Windows operating system, we may check with the phone's manufacturer side and see if there could be some helpful information
    offered.
    Besides, please take a check with
    Event Viewer and see if any special errors logged there.
    Best regards

    I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
    I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

    There is no solution.  You have to provide the ID and password.  There is no way around it.  If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

  • FF not connecting to web- This "Network Connections" message pops up: Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection. Any ideas?

    About a month ago I could no longer connect to the internet on our PC. Every time I clicked on the Firefox icon the Netscape sign-on window would pop up. I would try to close it but it would pop up over and over again. If I tried to close it a dozen or so times eventually Firefox would open up but it would never connect. Just today I moved my Netscape file to the recycle bin. No longer does the Netscape sign-on window pop up but following Network Connection error message pops up: "Error 623: The system could not find the phone book entry for this connection".. This error window behaves the same way the Netscape sign-on window used to behave. Every time I click to close it it pops open again. After numerous clicks Firefox opens up but it never connects.

    Do you have this error message on a Mac computer or on a Windows computer?
    I've only seen this error mentioned on a Windows computer.

    Hi Kashmore,
    Seems like the downloaded file was corrupt that could be because of either network restriction or the anti virus might have blocked it. My suggestion would be to try and download the product either by turning off the Antivirus or try a different network.

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 7580 similar to the 8600 you have and after upgrading to Mountain Lion it wouldn't work. HP support site said download updates for Mountain Lion from App Store not their site so I went to software update but there were NO UPDATES FOR 10.8.  Tried a million things and could not get printer to work.  So I restored back to Lion figuring at least printer worked then only now I can't get it to work with old settings either. I am sick to death of claims by Apple and peripheral manufacturers that everything is compatible all you have to do is get updates well in this case THERE ARE NONE TO BE GOT and I don't have time to **** about trying to find 'work arounds'.  There shouldnt be a need for work-arounds. Unless the updates are ready DONT release the new OS.  You shouldn't have to be an IT tech to make basic things like printing work.  I see also the HP 8600 is even sold by appstore so there is no reason why it shouldn't work with minimum fuss.
