Trouble Booting Encore 2 Write Tablet

Context I recently upgraded my tablet's operating system to Windows 10. Everything seemed to be working fine for a few days. However, on 8/7/15, I went to the library and tried to connect to the public Wi-Fi, but it had trouble connecting due to some broadcom wireless adapter issue. I went to device manager and tried to reinstall that adapter again and it was stuck trying to download it forever so I powered the tablet off manually by the power button. It gave me a warning message but I cannot recall exactly what that was. Now my tablet's operating system will no longer boot. Bootup errorWhen I boot up my tablet, the first error message it displays is NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM. Then, the tablet automatically restarts and displays the message: Your PC couldn't start properly with error code: 0xc0000001. I've done some research to try to find out what the problem is, but have had no luck finding a solution. I think the problem lies within some corrupted boot files but I'm not entirely sure. Asking for HelpIs there anyway to fix this without doing a clean install? And if the only solution is a clean install, how would I go about doing that on this tablet? Let me know if there is any other information I can provide that will assist you in helping me solve this problem. Much thanks,Seb L

I don't have an Encore here. (In fact this is not right place to put Encore problems. Somebody from Toshiba should move it.)
That said, this is how to go about fixing corrupt boot files in Windows 10. Boot from the Windows 10 installation media and click on Repair your computer at the lower left of the screen.
That will put you in the recovery environment (Choose-an-option menu). This will probably fix things.

If not, try this.

Windows XP SP2 freezes and then has trouble booting up

I've got a recent problem with my PC freezing while in use. All of a sudden it freezes with no error messages. The only resolution is to reboot the PC; however, most times the PC has trouble booting up after that. Usually at some point before it boots up I'll get a CMS checksum error, hit the F1 key to continue and Windows will load up. I'll have to restart it multiple times before I can get it to boot or I have to unplug the PC, let it sit overnight and then it tends to boot up with no problems the next morning.
I did notice that the fan to the PSU isn't running all the time. Should it be? I would have thought so, but don't know for sure.
I haven't tried reloading Windows over the current installation. I have an original Win XP disk ()non-SP2). This is a Windows CD, not a restore CD. I've updated to SP2. Will it be OK to reinstall over it with an older version of XP? I guess I can just not replace any newer files if it asks?
Thanks for any feedback.

Bosskiller, I just know the basics of hardware installation and such. I can put them together, but don't have much knowledge in diagnostics. The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package and said everything checked out OK and that it was most likely a mobo or processor going bad.
I see you linked to an earlier post you made. However, if the memory checked out OK and it's run fine for the last 6 months without any problems, would it do any good to run another memory check on it?
"Bosskiller, I just know the basics of hardware installation and such. I can put them together, but don't have much knowledge in diagnostics. The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package and said everything checked out OK and that it was most likely a mobo or processor going bad."
suggest you to ignore "The Geek Squad ran the basic diagnostic package" and to test it personally.
get memtest http://www.memtest.org/download/1.70/memtest86+-1.70.floppy.zip
extract files and make diskette bootable from installer. then reboot PC and boot from floppy, select test n5 only from there and leave it to test over 20times ensure no errors will come... step by step with memtest: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103598.msg760534#msg760534
other way is to try to install XP with each memory sticks separately until works.. leave only one stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket and have a try to install OS again, if no go remove memory and replace it with other one. and retry.
or take PC to some computer repair shop to diagnose.

My Windows 2000 machine has trouble booting up after instaling PCI-6503 card

After I installed the card in my Dell Desktop has trouble booting up. I have to pull the power cable out and then reconnect for it to come up.

Hello;
The best way to go about that is to completely uninstall the NI-DAQ driver you have installed on that machine, turn the computer of and remove the board from it.
You then reintall NI-DAQ, and put the board back. If the same behavior shows, the best bet is to search for some other peace of Software/Hardware currently installed on the machine that might be conflictant with NI-DAQ.

Storage issue on Encore WT tablet

Hi, I have a 32GB Encore WT tablet, with Office pre installed, bu24.8t the C: drive reports only 24.9 GB total storage with 24.8 used before installing anything; I can't even finish installing Windows update. I've tried using disk cleanup to remove any temporary files but it made little difference.
Having checked folder sizes however I can find at most 16GB of space used by Windows and existing applications. I've added a 32GB microSD card for storage but can't figure how to set Windows update to use that
Any suggestions whats taking up space?

That would be great, except that if I plug my 8GB usb drive into a hub and hook that up to the Encore, the touchscreen freezes, and I can't find a micro usb drive to connect directly. I've looked for a way to use a microSD card instead butvcan't see how to do that; the option to back up the recovery partition doesn't seem to have 4hat option.

Trouble Booting to Ubuntu Live USB on T440

Hey,
I am having trouble booting to a Ubuntu Live USB on my T440. I turn on the laptop, press enter to interrupt the normal boot, and press F12 to select another boot option. But after selecting the appropritate USB, the screen goes black for a couple of seconds and then returns to the boot selection. It will not boot from the Ubuntu USB, only to the preinstalled Windows 8.
Other guides have recommended disabling Secure Boot (I have done this, it has not worked); others suggest enabling Secure Boot but changing to Legacy Boot (this didn't work for me either).
Once I can successfully boot to the USB, I will be installing Ubuntu, replacing Windows all together. I don't need help with that; just getting the computer to boot from the USB would be great.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fixed. My boot USB was made with Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator (on my other Ubuntu system). On a hunch, I made another boot USB using Linux Pen Drive on the Windows 8 machine. That one worked. I presume it was related to the format of the USB (the working one being FAT32).
So if anyone wants to easily install a Linux distibution on a T440, make your boot USB on a Windows machine.

TROUBLE BOOTING MAC OS 10.3.2

I am having trouble booting my powerbook g3 pismo to the mac os. when i start it up, it has the apple logo, then after about 3 seconds it goes to a circle with a line through the middle!!! what are possible causes for this?? How can i fix this?? thanks -roger

roger,
"well when i bought it last week it had 10.3.2 on it..."
How do you know that?
"It did not come with any install disks or system disks however,..."
Can you contact the seller, and request that they be provided?
"I have an OS 10.2 install disk which I previously purchased."
Do they look like THESE?
If the Firmware Update, was not applied, prior to the installation of OS X, there could be problems.
As you really don't know the condition of the system, it's difficult to diagnose where the problem lies.

Fresh OS X install: Trouble booting, crashing.

Hey Apple Community,
I have an iMac 7,1 - mid 2007, 24 inch. About a week ago my iMac (gradually) became very slow, and crashed regularly. Trouble booting as well (booting took ages, with the grey progress bar on the white screen) At that time I was running Mountain Lion.
To fix the problem, I did a fresh install of Snow Leopard, and upgraded to Mavericks.
After this there was still trouble booting, sometimes just a white screen, or a white screen with an apple logo. About one out of five startups are succesful and get me into Mac OS X successfully. (Disconnecting all peripherals gives me a higher success rate.)
When OS X has booted successfully, my iMac is extremely fast, except at some point it just freezes, I just get the round rainbow cursor, and the only way out is a hard reset with the power button.
Since the problem started, there's a process called "kernel_task" that is always using the most memory of all processes (about 400 mb), at all times. However, my RAM or CPU isn't using the maximum capacity, and I have plenty free CPU or RAM.
My system specs:

Macbook late '08 freezing up, has trouble booting after iLife install.

A couple of days ago I installed iLife '11 on my Macbook and went to run the updates that the App Store was telling me were available, including the Mountain Lion 10.8.4 update. I shut the lid of my computer while they were downloading, without thinking and when I opened it again, the screen was dark, but the computer was on. I forced a shutdown and went to reboot but got stuck at the grey Apple logo and timer wheel. I zapped the PRAM and it booted right up but it told me that I needed to restart to install the updates. I did so and had trouble booting again. I had to do the PRAM thing a couple more times to get it to boot but when it did, the only update that installed was GarageBand. I ran it until all of the updates had downloaded and it asked me to restart. Everything went smoothly this time but when I logged back in the OS X 10.8.4 update was sitting there waiting to be installed again. I reset to install twice more but it never installed. Now whenever I'm running an application it will freeze up after a time, and when I go to quit the application the whole computer freezes, forcing me to force shutdown but putting me back to where it freezes on boot up. Freezes when I try to boot into safe mode or recovery mode often as well. I can manage to get in every once in awhile, after zapping the PRAM two or three times, but even that is starting to freeze too. Any one know what's going on? I ran iAntiVirus and it found nothing, I'm working on uninstalling iLife to see if that helps too.
I'm running Mountain Lion on a brand new Toshiba 1tb external drive connected to a Late 2008 aluminum unibody MacBook that I bought off my friend's dad back in March. No internal drive because the one that was in it failed in May.

Let me start by saying do you know how easy it is to replace the hard drive in that MacBook? http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Unibody+Model+A1278+Hard+Drive+Replacement/8 16/1
First thought is to dump the anti virus software. It sounds to me as though your installation of OS X is hosed due to an incomplete update attempt. You need to repair the hard drive using Disk Utility and reinstall Mountian Lion completely, not just the update to 10.8.4.

Trouble booting iBook

I'm having problems similar to those many people are having on here: my iBook recently started having trouble booting up. When I try, I get the chimes, but after that nothing happens; there's just a blank dark screen. The whirring noise that usually accompanies start-up is noticeably absent. So far, if I let it sit, off, for anywhere between 10 - 30 minutes it does eventually start up, but I know it'll only get worse. Once it does get running, it runs perfectly, so I'm at a loss. Any idea what's going on and what I can do about it?

Welcome to the Forum.
Could be a failing HD. Insert your installation disc and restart holding down the 'C' key. Once booted up, open Disk Utility from the options menu and run verify disk. See if that gives you any indication.

Trouble booting from Leopard installation DVD

I'm having some trouble booting from the Leopard installation DVD, I was wondering if anyone here could help.
I want to reset my administrator password since OS X does not seem to be accepting it, and I heard that the best way to do this would be to boot from a Mac OS X installation DVD or CD and change some settings. When I start up my computer with the Leopard DVD in the drive, I hold down the 'C' key after the chime, and continue to hold it until the spinning gear appears.
From there, the spinning gear stays on the screen, and nothing happens. I've heard that it takes a while for the screen to come up, but I let it sit for over three hours and nothing happened. I also tried holding the Option key at startup and selecting the DVD, but the same thing happened. The DVD is in good shape and has no deep scratches, and it appears right away in the OS itself. I can't access the installer from the OS since it asks for my Administrator password, which it does not seem to be accepting. I also tried another solution to the Administrator password problem that involved typing some commands in Single User mode, but that did not help either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what exactly did you try to do in single user mode?

Why is my mid-2010 macbook pro having trouble booting and crashing?

I have a mid-2010 13 inch macbook pro that has recently began to have severe problems. It started after I shut it down one night and woke up to the sound of my mac's fans running loudly and my computer running extremely hot. Apparently, it must not have finished shutting down that night and something went wrong with it when i closed the lid. Ever since then, the computer will either take a long time to boot up (the apple symbol will take up to a minute to appear, and then up to several more minutes to go to my desktop) or it will display an error (either the folder icon appears instead of the apple logo, or the apple logo appears and then after a minute or two is replaced by the circle slash). Once i'm in, the computer seems to function normally, but anytime it needs to access the disc there might be another delay, or the computer will freeze, forcing me to shut it down again. The most common time this occurs is when I am waking the mac from sleep. In addition, the cpu would run hot (~85) which would imply i was doing high cpu activity, except i was usually doing very little, activity monitor showed low levels with sudden intense spikes whenever i did something.
I've run several diagnostics to try and determine the problem, but none identified an error:
booting computer from different computer/startup disk - runs fine (apparently. gave my mac to someone else to try this test, could not see results for myself)
Thorough Apple hardware test: no problems found
disc utility: disc/discpermissions verified and repaired with no issue.
PRAM/VRAM reset: actually sped up the lagging of the system once it reached the desktop and intense cpu thing but booting problems still persisted.
archive and install: some of the time it would fail to install in the middle of the installation, forcing me to start again, but once i completed it, issue still persisted.
clean wipe of drive with restoration from time machine: computer speed better but still trouble when booting.
Clean wipe of drive without migration of data: computer running and booting quickly, but occasionally still received circle slash instead of apple logo.
At this point, i don't know where the source of the problem lies. The computer is old, but has never had an issue until recently. The problem is inconsistent, and all testing implies it doesn't exist, which makes its diagnosis extremely difficult. As it is a 2010 mac, it is clearly out of apple care and warranty so i cant go to a genius. I have a weak battery (80%) and my screen lid is a little loose from frequent use, but those are the only blatant problems i'm aware of with my mac.
Any suggestions? I can gladly provide more info as needed.

G5 having trouble booting, don't always get a 'chime' noise

Trouble getting my G5 1.6ghz w/10.4.x to boot/start. Seems to be intermittent as far as hearing startup chime. Any suggestion?
The first few tries to start the G5 it would make no chime, nothing on the screen. Just some quiet whirring inside
I was unable to try zapping the PRAM. Since I got no 'chime'. Then I figured I would try holding down the 'option' key to boot from an external drive and was just about to put my finger on the OPTION key, I heard the chime. I was so shocked I just watched it, but nothing else happened.
So I turned it off, waited a minute, then started it and pushed the Option key. Nothing.
I was going to boot from a 10.4 CD - I managed to open the CD Drive, dropped the CD in it, hit the start button and pushed the C key. Nothing.
Any suggestions?

Your Mac is getting to the age where the PRAM batteries die.
Check out things in Texas Mac Man's Battery, PRAM, PMU tutorial on the subject. His tutorial is a little dated (don't believe it even mentions G5's) but the info in it, except SMU not being included, still applies. The SMU link is for a late G5 Tower. Early G5's use PMU reset, as shown in the tutorial. The battery for late G5 + G5 iMacs and earlier iMacs, Mac Minis and Intel Tower Macs is this one.
Also, when you try to boot from the CD, hold the c key down till something shows up. It may take awhile. If you get there, try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. DALE

Having trouble booting and general usage

So I've got an intel iMac running Windows 7 Professional and 10.6 The computer will randomly stop working while I'm using either OS, just kind of freeze for a few seconds to minutes and then all of a sudden will act responsive again. So I tried reinstalling both OS' and still having trouble. Before and after the reinstalls the boot menu (holding alt) will show no drives, but will show a bootable cd if I have one in there.
I work in IT for a relatively large campus and I've seen my fair share of viruses and the like, and I don't think the problem is in software. Could there be an issue with the EFI firmware reading the disks? This doesn't seem likely as the OS X install disk will sometimes show the Hard drive in disk utility, and other times not. I'm thinking its either a loose cable, or a dying hard drive. Thoughts?

If you want to check the HD you can run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. You can find out how at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509 If the system finds some errors please reproduce the error codes here.

Trouble booting to WDS server to deploy or capture image

Hello, we have an existing WDS server running Server 2008 R2 with SP1. I am having trouble getting a Surface Pro 3 to boot to the WDS (even after creating updated deploy and capture boot images). I can get the Surface to PXE boot, and I am
able to choose the Deploy or Capture boot image, but then I get the message that an error occurred obtaining an IP address from the DHCP server. During the PXE boot, the device does obtain an IP address in the correct range. I tried adding the
Surface ethernet adapter drivers to the boot wims but since they are not signed I get errors that they cannot be added. Any suggestions?

Added drivers to boot images using DISM with the /ForceUnsigned override.
