Windows 7 Startup Problem - Error code 0x490

Hey, I recently successfully installed Windows 7 on my laptop that also has Windows Vista. I was playing around with it for a few hours last night, shut off the computer and went to bed. I woke up, started it successfully and played around with it some more. Then, I shut it off again, and, a few hours later, turned it back on and, when I click on Windows 7, I am now receiving an error message telling me I did not install properly and to run a Repair with the install disc.
I did this and it said it found a problem and to "restart immediately" by clicking finished (it does not restart immediately, I have to click finish and then click restart). It also states that if the problem wasn't solved it would run the repair automatically. I restart it, it boots up and does the same thing. I ran the repair again and checked the detailed list of errors. It lists off a bunch of successful tests completed and then at the bottom it says:
"Boot manager generic failure 0x000000e
Root cause found:
Boot manager failed to find OS Loader
Repair action: File Repair
Result: Failed. Error Code = 0x490
Time taken : 7099 ms
Repair Action: Boot configuration data store repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time Taken: 171ms
Repair action: System Restore
Result: Completed Successfully..."
And that's it. I was getting the same error message when I had failed to install it correctly, but I fixed it (I think by resetting my BIOS). So, does anyone know how to fix this?
UPDATE:
When I select windows 7, it gives me instructions (which I followed, they are the steps I mentioned above) and at the bottom it says:
"Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible"
I assume this means that it cannot access my partition for some reason...? If so, why not? Thanks!

I've tried all these repair fixes and they went through and where done but it didn't repair the problem. I bought a 3TB USB 3.0 hard drive and backed up my system. Then the backup program formated the hard drive which I didn't want it to do that. It tried
doing a restore and came up with an error at about 55%. Some how I got it to install Windows 7 and did updates. I don't remember if I restarted it just yet. When I did do a restart it started the problem again. So I don't know if I ever got it working the
one time. I did install several programs and went to install one driver and think that may have caussed the problem because it was for NT and not Windows 7 64 bit. When I did get the right driver and installed it I noticed it changed how it looked on the device
manager. I don't know if the device driver I added was the cause of the problem, it was for an external hard drive using a eSATA board. There are bois on the board and that comes up when the computer is starting. I took everything I installed out of the compter
even took out the mSATA board out. The repair message says that it booted fine but something happened and gives the 0x490 error code. I've notice this seem to be a rather big problem. When I tried running check disk it couldn't run in the repair program. I
also tried runing Check NTFS and that gave me the same messaage, couldn't run the program in repair. There's a lot of programs that won't run in repair. I've tried booting up to go to the DOS prompt but never got there and it went into repair. There's
a blue screen of death that goes by real fast. I used the start up menu when you press F8 to stop on errors and it stopped one time at the blue screen where I copied down the numbers. Many restarts and finally I got it to stop after the blue screen and it
was the same numbers as the first time. Not sure what to do with those four numbers. I'm wondering if they are from each CPU. What's real odd if I was able to boot up to several versions of Linux and the computer runs fine. It's just starting up in windows
7 is the problem. I haven't been able to run the boot menu program to see what it was doing. My computer has been down 180 days now but works fin in Linux. So I've been using the Linux OS program to search for help. I spend days reading the same fixes and
never find anything new to try. I used a Linux Boot Repair program and it didn't change anything. Well, going to boot up to the Boot Repair program and see if that makes a difference. That comes as an ISO file that's 600megs. The first boot repair program
was part of another OS disk.

Windows 7 Instalation Problem - Error Code 0xC0000005

I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my, rather old, laptop and it barely gets to the installation screen after inserting the CD into the CD drive when the message appears:
Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accessible and restart installation. Error code: 0xC0000005
I don't know why this message keeps appearing...
I ran the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it then said that my current graphics adapter will not support Windows Aero user interface and also to upgrade the drivers for my wireless and my ethernet - is it because of this that I cannot install windows 7? And if so, I was also not able to figure out how to find the updates for these...
- Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter
- 3Com 3C920 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controllet
- Windows Aero support.
Any help or insight would be extremely welcome.
Thanks.

hi,
0xc0000005 is a critical Access Violation error that requires immediate reaction.As a rule, you get the 0xc0000005 error message when you try to start one of your programs in Windows or install software. The program terminates with the 0xc0000005 message and
you can’t get it work.The most typical causes for the ‘0xc0000005: Access Violation’ error are: corrupt registry, malware, faulty RAM, faulty drivers, incorrectly written, installed or updated software and even Windows security features.

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC. I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7). I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034. Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest". I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted. The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

Imac G5 v. 10.3.6 with multiple problems startup failure + error code +

I have tired numerous suggestions without writing, but no luck. Here's the deal: I may have erased important files in the start up volume. Don't know exactly. Upon start up I get to the white screen with the gray apple icon and the time indicator circle. It stays in on this screen until the fan starts to speed up and I am forced to manually shut down. I ran a short test of the hardware and everything passed. Ran an extended test and there was an error code 2STF/8/3:S-ATA Bus 0 - Master reported in the mass storage. Went to the utilities of the install disk and noticed there are two applications under volumes Mac OS x and OS 9 (computer was purchased from ebay used with Final Cut Pro already included). Also there is a "dev" harddrive seen with the "System" harddrive???? The system files/folder seem to be normal except that the Library is empty. A Library does exist under the "root" folder followed by perferences. I don't know if it matters but when we bought this computer we put our previous system onto it. Recently I tired to reinstall by saving the archives and an error was reported and I was asked to try to reinstall again. Again I returned to the disk utilities and ran the first aid on the System and it reported that the the reserved fields in the catalog record have incorrect data, followed by invalid sibling lind (red font) and Rebuiling Catalog B-tree. The volume system reported it could not be repaired (-9972). Any advice at this point would be appreciated. My husband is about to kill me. We are living in Costa Rica and the nearest applestore is 3 hours away. We just got this computer back from them. It took 3 months to replace the powersupply.

Hi Dardaner, and a warm welcome to the forums!
You have problems with the Hard Drive, how bad I'm not certain.
Do you need the Data that is on that Drive?
If so, unfortunately DU can't fix all that much, your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD though.
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
If you can afford to start over and lose all that data, then, perhaps...
"Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then chose MacOS Extended Journalled.
6. Click Erase & look for Options. choose Zero 1 pass."
You may be able to reinstall then, but of course nothing you had before will be there.

Windows 8 Recovery failed; Error code: 0xc000000f

Hi,
I am having some trouble with my HP Envy m6 laptop.
I was using Windows 8 pro for almost a year without having any problem. After installing Win8.1 Pro, I had trouble booting and called in HP support and conducted a System Recovery. Everything was good but system was slower.
So, I backed up all data and then proceeded to do a Factory Reset (with HP Recovery Manager) with my HP Recovery DVDs which I have burned earlier. Everything seems to be working fine however the restoration failed (Incomplete restoration)! Tried couple of times but same problem.
While conducting some self-tests, 'Memory Test' (under Run-In Test) failed with "FAILURE ID: RGCD5F-6G56SV-XV7X0K-406803".
At the end, got following error:
"Recovery
Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc000000f
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacture."
I tried to reach HP Support since still have warrenty but unfortunately I just wasted my time talking to them. I purchased my laptop from Canada but currently living in Australia which made it really difficult to communicate with them.
Can anyone please give me some idea what I needed to do to resolve this issue? I went through several articles in here but failed to get the correct ones. Most of them are for Windows 7 and there are many differences in Windows 8!
I am urgently requesting some assistance from a HP expert who has experience dealing similar issues.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Suranjit

The failure ID that you have provided for the memory test means that the Checksum has failed. This means that it is not finding a part that should be available, but is not showing. After taking a look into the issue of the memory test failing, the most likely cause of the failure is one memory modules has failed. I have included a link to another HP Forum thread here. Please follow the steps that DavidPK has outlined.
For the recovery error message that you are getting, this means that an integral component used during startup can not be found. This error should resolve itself once the memory Checksum error is resolved.
If your notebook has two memory modules, you should be able to boot from the one memory module until the other one is replaced.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting, thank you.

Backup Windows 7 not possible, error code 0x81000101

Backing up Windows 7 impossible, it stops at 7% and after a while a time out message will be shown with code 0x81000101. I tried everething as specified by cdobbs on earlier questions, no result. The external backup disk, usb connected, is 150 Gb, clean and formatted. Backing up mine laptop, (Windows XP ) no problem at all. To copy C to the backup drive will not succeed either due to open system files, e.g. hiberfile.sys, pagefile.sys, ntuer.date etc. Any solution ?

This error can occur if the Shadow Copy services are not running. The backup applications and System Restore depend on these services.
Perform the following.
Open Control Panel.
Click the Classic View in the Tasks pane.
Double click Administrative Tools.
Double click Services.
Scroll down and double click the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider.
In the Startup Type menu, select Automatic.
Click the Start button.
Click Apply / OK.
Next, scroll down to the Volume Shadow Copy service and perform the same steps.
Exit everything and reboot the computer.
IF that doesn't work
Did your computer come with a Recovery Partition on the drive? (Check the computers documentation)
If it did, you cannot have any backup software or System Restore set to backup or monitor that drive.
Go to Control Panel.
Click on Classic View in the Task Pane.
Double click System.
Select Advanced System Settings in the Tasks Pane.
Click the System Protection Tab.
In the Available Disks section, make sure that the backup partition is not selected. If it is, remove the check mark.
After this is done or if this does not work, go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools and click on Disk Cleanup.
In the Options dialog, select 'Files from all users on this computer'. Click the C: system drive. When the scan is completed, click the 'More Options' Tab. In the 'System Restore and Shadow Copies' section, click the 'Cleanup' button. In the 'Are you sure......' popup, click Delete. Click OK.
Wait for the Disk Cleanup to complete.
Now, go back into Disk Cleanup and follow the same procedure for any other drives that appear in the drop down menu where you selected the C: drive the first time.
Exit everything and reboot the computer.
After the computer reboots, check System Restore again. If System Restore is still not working, go back into System Protection and turn off System Restore for all drives and reboot the computer again. This will delete all restore points on all drives.
After the reboot, go back and enable System Restore for the C: volume only. Create a new restore point for that drive.
Let me know the results.

Windows Cryptographic Service Provider - error code: 2148532334 (Windows 8.1)

Dear,
since my computer was recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 I have a problem with placing my signature (via certifcates).
Before the update I could sign all my pdf-files with my electronic identity card - without issues.
Now I receive a window: "windows-security" which says: Smartcarderror (some required programmes are not installed on the system).
When I click "cancel" I get the error code in subject.
Another card reader is not changing anything, neither another smartcard (id-card).
Please advise, as signing pdf-files is very important for our company.
Thanks. Willem Van Lommel
NB: in my opinion all other updates are done without troubles.
NB2: please find herewith some prt scns (in Dutch):
1. before a smartcard was pushed in the cardreader:
2. after the smartcard was added (same when card was added to other cardreader)
3. because "ok" didn't result in anything -> you have to click "cancel - annuleren" or on the red X (at the right corner), then the result is:

If by "Adboe X Pro" you mean Acrobat, you are more likely to get a useful reply if you ask in the Acrobat forum.
All I can tell you that this error (0x80100068) means "The smart card has been reset, so any shared state information is invalid."

I just tried to reduce the speed the drive it self and I still got error code 4280...I don't know wuts going on because I can't burn anything in windows media player either.
that's not an especially good sign. i get worried about 4280s because they can sometimes indicate a hardware problem in the drive. (for example, belladonna started throwing them at me when her Lite-On drive started to die.)
we'd better check to see if you're properly up to date before checking on that possibility though.
i had a look at your downloads page at HP. (thank you kindly for including your model number in your system information.)
Software & Driver downloads: HP Pavilion dv2125nr Notebook PC (XP)
there's nothing there by way of new firmware for the drive that is throwing the 4280. but there are a few other downloads of interest.
check to see if that HP Notebook System BIOS update is applicable to your particular configuration of dv2125nr, and if so, make sure you're up to date.
check to see if that new AMD Processor Update for Microsoft Windows XP is applicable to your configuration, and if so make sure you're up to date with it.
check to see if your NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver is up to date.
once you're satisfied that you're up to date, do you still get the 4280?

Windows Server Essentials 2012 error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified

Running Windows Server 2012 Essentials with an external usb 3 drive as a backup device. Using a Vantec hx enclosure with a WD Red drive. Last night the Dashboard saw the drive with about half the 4TB available for backup. A.M., I get "error code:
2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified".
Going to the server desktop, I see a message indicating that the usb device malfunctioned. unplugging it, and plugging it back in, I now have it available via the dashboard.
This has happened a couple times with two different drives in Vantec hx enclosures.
A couple possibilities come to mind:
the enclosures may both be bad...
there is some problem with the system software and external usb drive.
Thoughts?
Suggestions for external enclosures?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot backup the Windows Server Essentials 2012 and got "error code: 2147942403 The system cannot find the path specified". You found the usb device malfunctioned.
Can you backup the server when you unplugged the usb device, and plugged it back in? If you can backup the server when you replug the usb device, you need to engage the vendor to resolve the hard drive issues.

CC Install problem: Error code 1000

I'm having trouble installing the Creative Cloud app. I get an error code 1000 message. Can anyone help please? (using Windows 7).

Hi Rajshree
Thanks for replying so promptly. Yes I had a look at that document but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.
I suspected it had something to do with my machine as our organisation (a university) really locks down our machines so we can't download stuff easily.
After trying a few things what finally worked was creating a 'temp' folder in C Drive and putting the .exe file in that. Then I opened the file by right clicking and selecting 'run as administrator'. This worked (as I have administrator access).
Best wishes,

This same problem has happened before but the "fix" fixed it some time.
I get the same error when I open internet explorer.

Hi,
I don't know the exact fix for your problem, but there is a thread on the Microsoft answers page that talks about this error message being related to a particular key.
And if you remove that key, you can fix Windows update. See below for the detailed information and scroll to the bottom to see where someone found the fix:

You may have a BIOS problem, but there are no drivers for the BIOS. The BIOS is the system firmware. You will have to go to the support website of the computer/motherboard manufacturer to look for a BIOS update as Windows has nothing to do with
the BIOS - that is the sole responsibility of the computer/motherboard manufacturer.
