Windows 7 will not load on laptop. Satellite L Series

Not sure what happened with my laptop but it suddenly won't load windows. This is the error msg I get:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.0.9 (12/15/09)
Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F; Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
No bootable device--insert boot disk and press any key
I tried using the recovery disk for system repair, and using the sfc /SCANNOW utility, but both of the just run for hours (12) and goes nowhere.
I already tried reseating the RAM and nothing.
Please help!!

1. Enter into the BIOS
2. Restore to Default Values
3. Exit & Save changes
Youre system should boot up in AHCI now again. If you get the same message:
1. Enter into the BIOS
2. Go to Advanced
3. Set HDD mode to Compatible/IDE
4. Exit & Save changes
To get into the BIOS press F2 before you boot (directly after pressing the power button press F2 continiously).

Windows will not load on a Satellite A350 with 500GB Seagate external HDD

There is an issue with this A350-043 Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bits, part number : PSAL6C-04S015
Simply put: when connected to a SEAGATE 9NK2AL-510 500GB SATA DRIVE EXTERNAL USB (s/n: 5QG1YH1E) Windows will not load, it goes upto and freeze just prior to the green moving bars. If the USB cord is pulled out and put back in for a second, Windows continues to load normally and all is well.
Otherwise, the OS will take up to 15 minutes to load. Looking in the BIOS features, there is no option to boot from USB available, so it cannot be disabled. I have upgraded the BIOS of the Toshiba to the latest version with no change in that issue.
I have tested and confirmed that the issue persist no matter which USB port is used.
The external drive is fully fonctional and there is no errors or issues with it when Windows is loaded. I am reported this issue to Seagate as well as Toshiba in the hopes that a solution can be offered on that, but did not hear back on anything as yet.

You mean the notebook needs 15min to load the Windows OS even if the external HDD is not connected?
This sounds weird and I doubt this can be related to any software issue
First of all you should check the booting order in the BIOS the USB should be set at last or second last position.
Secondly you should check if the same issue would still persist after an new OS installation in some cases the booting procedure could be affected due to installed software and background processes.
But if the new OS installation does not help and if the issue will still persists then I assume that an hardware problem (motherboard????) could be the reason for that and therefore an notebook technician should be contacted!!!
Thats my opinion

Windows XP, will not load past blue error screen

Hi, been wondering for a while if anyone can help me...
My xp system will not load past the blue error screen which appears after the computer has shut down suddenly or improperly.
Regardless of what actions you choose to take (safe mode, most recent settings...etc) the system simply goes past the blue screen, onto the windows logo loading page, where the loading bar moves for around 10 seconds, before returning back to the blue loading page.
So far I have tried leaving the computer for as long as a month unused whilst I was abroad, removing the battery for various amounts of time, and leaving the computer running for as long as a day.
In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to get it back to form, and would welcome any hints or suggests, bearing in mind I am no computing genius (If you had'nt guessed). Preferably, without loosing my irreplacable pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, however that is only preferably,
Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay,
i know what it's like to not able to boot even into safe mode command prompt.
In your case I would do either of below:
Download a bootable CD ISO called "HDD Regenerator" or [Hiren's BootCD|www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd] which includes many other great tools. Burn the ISO image onto CDR.
1. Use the HDD Regenerator to boot the PC and use it to scan the whole HardDrive from 0, it will scan and fix all the bad sectors which may cause Windows failing to boot as systems files are corrupted. You will be suprise how great this tool can fix bad sector HDs.
2. If above does not work, the the Hiren's BootCD to boot the PC, navigate to Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to Clone you hard drive, you can use USB external harddrives.
Then you can rebuild the PC with second partition large enough to store the HardDisk-IMAGE, use Ghost Explorer/etc to restore your personal files.
I have been dealing with lots of this issues as well. Let me know if you need more help.
Good luck!

N97 windows live will not load as well as others p...

well as listed above
i,m having a real problem getting anything to load. just wondering if i,m the only one who,s getting this problem? & could do with someone,s help please.
to start with windows messenger live will not load at all. the message i,m getting is
(this application requires the network usage. please start again under network coverage.)
the problem is i,ve got phone internet & wifi coverage so why is it coming out with this? any ideas
also i cant get many of the games that was installed to work either. that message is after hanging for a long period of time.
(you are currently in a no coverage area. please try again later)
didnt know i had to have internet coverage to play these games..
last of all the menu button light is constantly glowing on & off
i,m with 3uk & cant get any help from them at all. even the latest firmware update is not allowed as yet on my phone. was told by them that if i got the latest firmware my phones warranty would be void.
great service indeed.
although the games are not important. messenger is & would appreciate any feed back please...
many thanks Ray

Ok I can tell you the solution to your problem.
Windows Live MSN and SKYPE are free with 3 UK, which means that you can use them even if you are not paying for internet on your phone.
The problem with this is that you can ONLY use them via 3 network.
When you are at home your phone is probably defaulting to WIFI and the MSN and SKYPE will try than, so instead of getting a message "ERROR YOur should use 3" the MSN jsut hangs and does nothing. With the old firmware you had to uninstall Windows MSN and install it again in order ofr the MSN to work again. With the new one, once you are out of scope of your WIFI it works.
So you have a few options to use a Messenger.
1. Do not use your WIFI (turn it off, or whatever) and then you can use Windows LIVE MSN
or
2. Because you probably like me are paying the £5 for internet, forget about Windows MSN and use a different that works with WIFI and 3. A few of them are "PALRINGO", "EBUDDY", "FRING", etc.
Is a pain but that's the reason, for some reason the phone can not handle having some apps like the browser, etc using the WIFI and a separate connexion with 3 for SKYPE and Windows LIVE MSN.
Good luck let me know how it goes

Windows Vista will not load on Equium P300 16T ?

Help!
My daughter's P300 won't load windows after a CF flash memory card (containing just JPEG Images) was inserted in a USB port and withdrawn during start up.
I get a windows error recovery page that says a recent hardware or software change is stopping windows loading.
Two options are given 1. Launch repair 2. Start windows normally. Neither will launch windows.
I can get the 'safe mode' screen when I press F8 at start up. When I try to start up in safe mode it just hangs after 10 seconds or so.
I can get to the BIOS screen by pressing F12 and set to default configuration. Vista will still not load.
I have lost the restore discs that were made on day one, and there is data on the hard drive that has not been backed up! So I am hoping there is an easy fix to this.

Finally sorted it!
I could not get on with WIN PE so resigned myself to losing data and doing a HDD reinstalL from the partition but could not access the HDD recovery option, I was stuffed!
I called Toshiba to ask if replacement recovery discs could be obtained? They can and at £30 with upto 30 days delivery. The nice man at Toshiba sugested that I do A power reset. (Take out the battery, disconect power supply and hold in power button for 15 seconds). He also suggested that if I could borrow a retail Vista instalation disc I could use the repair windows feature on it.
A power reset enabled me to start up in safe mode. A vista disc could not fix my problem but confirmed that there were corrupt files preventing start up.
In safe mode I was still unable to do a system restore, because of the corrupt files.
Safe mode did allow me to access and back up my data and create new recovery discs! So I was able to do a clean install having backed up my data - Bingo.
Thanks for all your help on this guys, I hope my comments on this post will help others.

Windows 7 will not boot on new Satellite C660-195

Hi,
I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.
This morning I have switched it on and it came up with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked in. It then told me Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The advice was to remove any device which had been recently attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I have not installed any hardware or devices. I clicked finish and it shut down the laptop.
I switched it on again and the same thing happened (again and again!)
One forum suggests trying the following: Click the 'view advanced options for system recovery and support' link which asks me to choose my keyboard configuration but then when I do & click next it tells me "You must log in to access system recovery options" I am never given the option to log in!!
When accessing the Advanced Startup options using F8 I am still unable to solve this problem. The same thing (above) happens when I try to start in all Safe modes, Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), Debugging mode, Start Windows normally etc. I just don't understand it.
Upon searching other forums they have suggested holding down zero whilst switching on and then chosing Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings but the same thing happens - it just shows the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe then launched Startup Repair, which does not fix the problem.
I do not have a windows 7 disk to restore from as I only purchased the laptop 6 days ago and have not had time to do one yet. Also, the laptop should have the restore/recovery on its hard drive but I cannot access it to restore windows.
I am only a home user so do not understand all the technical speak. Please can someone help me?

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Unfortunately I have already tried this and it does not work.
in F8 I can chose 'Repair your Computer' as in screen shot 1.
I can chose my keyboard configuration as in screen shot 2 and when I click 'Next'
I am presented with the message "You must log in to access System Recovery Options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator . . . . . . ." etc
It does not give me the option to log in like screen shot 3 so I cannot progress.
Any further ideas gratefully received!

Windows quicktime will not load

On Windows XP. Quicktime starts then hangs at "Loading". I've uninstalled, reinstalled several times.
Any ideas?

Solved the problem late last night. Not your suggestion. When Itunes could not connect to the server I googled the problem. Turns out something (I think Avasts VPN) had set IE to use a proxy. Turtned that off and Quicktime and I tunes worked. Also, I still use Eudora for email and graphics were not displaying. After the above, they displayed again.
So all is well.

Windows Installer will not load on Late 2007 MBP (3,1)

I am trying to install Windows on Boot Camp on my Late 2007 2.4GHz MBP running Snow Leopard. I ran the Boot Camp Assistant, created a 50GB partition, loaded my Windows disc into my drive and had it reboot to start the installer. The white boot screen loads, the cd drive spins up and after several seconds, goes to a blank (black) screen with absolutely no text or cursor. Shortly after, the cd drive spins down and then the fans speed up a bit. I never see the Windows Installer load up.
Initially I was trying to install Windows 7 x86, which I am aware is not officially supported at this time. However, the exact same thing happens when I try to use a Vista SP2 x86 disc and a Windows XP disc (non-SP2, but I would expect it to at least boot up the installer). All three of these discs should be able to boot up the installer and yet none of them do and all work fine when booted on a PC or in a virtual machine.
All I have seen online is problems with black screens after the Windows system has been installed, which is not my problem. I have also seen descriptions of a blank screen with a cursor or an error saying "No Bootable Disc Found". This is also not my case. Immediately following the typical white boot screen, the screen becomes blank as if it is off.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same computer, 17", same MacOS, W7 Home Premium, 32-bit. But I have a different W7 installation problem.
After the install gets going, the first reboot happens okay but when the "completing installation ..." stage starts, after a minute or so the install freezes. My basic wired mouse locks up and the "..." stops counting.
I made a new Boot Camp 80GB partition. The first was 100GB. Starting again, I switched to another W7 installer DVD but the same freeze happens.
I suspect there is a conflict in the installation with my particular hardware. Or perhaps, the SuperDrive cannot move to the next part of the DVD. I've not seen any SuperDrive problems before this so I doubt the SD is the problem. However, I do think the SuperDrive gets too hot during extended read sessions.

Hi,
For your situation, I would like to confirm the following questions:
In my understanding, you replace the hard drive, so you must perform the clean install, right?
Do you have chance to format the disk?
You may need double check if you set the CD boot as the first priority in boot sequence.

Windows 8 will not load Adobe Acrobat X Pro

I changed computers and it has windows 8 on it. The above referenced app cannot load. How can I fix this.

I believe I may be having the same issue. I click on the application from the start menu to open it and nothing happens. When I click on the icon, the start screen closes and I am back on my browser screen. I have also tried to right-click a PDF file and select open with Adobe Acrobat and nothing happens.
My other Adobe CS6 products (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, etc) are working fine.

Op Sys: Windows 2000; will not load recent update to 4.0 Moz Firefox Yahoo! Editions 1.8

Upon each opening firefox 4.0, a dialog box opens asking to install a critical update. Upon proceeding, the script runs but nothing happens. Is it may be a virus dumping data to offsite location?

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

Firefox recently starts with an additional [- o x] window pane, will not load homepage on startup, and will no longer remember text sizes for websites.

Recently, Firefox no longer starts at my home page, despite that option in effect. Firefox no longer remembers the text size used the last time any given site was visited. Firefox allows one instance of customizing (right click in a blank tab area) then locks that option out and locks the menu bar, allowing only use of the orange drop down square. Adding or removing one of the toolbar options (right click in a blank tab area) removes the additional pane (minimize, maximize, close), but it returns each time Firefox is re-started.

I was able to resolve this problem, but only by completely clean re-instal of Firefox (all settings had to be dumped).
This was more of a work-around than a solution, but the problem is resolved.

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?
