Windows does not start and cannot get into safe recovery mode

Had a blue screen and when I start up Windows wants to run in safe mode. But this runs for a few seconds and then stops with a blank screen (have left this for over 2 hours).
If I select to start windows normally then the system just reboots to the windows repair screen.
I do not have a recovery disk as Windows vista was pre-installed. Any clues ?

Hi,
The possible reason is that Windows bootmanager or the system files are corrupted. You say that you haven't made a recovery disk, but what about Hdd image recovery (pressing F8 on startup)? If it's already removed, you have to:
1. Order the recovery disk https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx Note, it's not free
2 Get a copy of Windows vista and install it. Then, download the all necessary drivers and enjoy it.

  • Windows will not start and cannot be reinstalled

    I have a 300GB Win 7 partition on disk 2 on my Mac Pro (set up using Bootcamp) that was running fine until a few days ago.  There were some "critical updates" that Windows installed, followed by a restart.  Now, it simply refuses to start.  When I boot into the Apple drive (disk 1), I get a message in OS X saying that the volume did not mount correctly; interestingly enough, another NTFS partition (used for data only) on drive 3 is also reported as unmountable. 
    I tried the following:
    1.  Reformatted drive 2 as one partition with Bootcamp and started a fresh installation of Windows - it failed by not allowing the Windows installer to run (hangs up after the logo).
    2.  Reformatted drive 2 as one partition and restored a previously good image of the drive using Winclone.  It verified correctly and mounted properly in OS X (I can view the files).  However after I restart and select the Windows HD to boot, it shows the green bars upon Windows start and then hangs up with a black screen.
    3.  Booting up with the Windows 7 Recovery disc to attempt repair.  It failed with an error: unable to repair - contact Administrator.
    4.  Booting up with the Windows 7 Recovery disc to restore using an image created with Windows 7.  The operation was successful, but the restored partition still hangs up in the same place.
    In short, Windows won't start up and I can't reinstall it either!
    I can't help but think there is something wrong outside of the NTFS partitions (boot partition?), somewhere in the OS X partition.  Is there a "secret" Bootcamp partition/file that could be corrupted and cause this? Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

    OS X has its own read-only NTFS.
    Which version of OS X? and I was trying to find if you installed 3rd party NTFS driver for OS X? some don't work, and need to be upgraded too.
    Mac has EFI and if you use Alt or Option it doesn't have abilty to mount or modify but it does 'peek' for valid boot volumes.
    Windows 7 - normally you will have 100MB partition (with 32MB used) which is actually where/what Windows boots from.
    Install of Windows w/o BCA and w/o OS X being present avoids any conflict, but very often OS X's control panel for Startup Disk won't see Windows. Boot Camp control panel in Windows though always works for seeing both.
    I think just the process of setting the default OS could mess up something, and that is the only place or time.
    I don't have Lion. Maybe at some point. Intrigued with Parallels 7 support too.
    Some people use to have a Recovery disc instead of an installer. I assumed that was what you had rather than the one you burned. Is that WinRE? Paragon has updated theirs to  WinRE 3.0.
    While Windows 7 is running and updated, did you install any Apple drivers, and if so, which? is this 3.0 thru 3.3? there seems to be trouble with 3.0 and 3.3, so 3.2 seems best. If Lion then 4.0 (and with the live download the issues that another Mac Pro owner had the first week Lion came out trying to use 4.0 was just a disaster and he went back to 3.2. Lately, it 'seems' that BC 4.01 drivers in Windows are okay or safe to use.  Thanks to the public testing guys! sorry had to put you through that I guess?
    So between steps  #2 and #3 was Boot Camp drivers installed? they are helpful but not 100% essential, but does add a timesynch and osswitcher to Windows which are.  The rest of it.... iffy.
    AppleHFS for Windows was buggy and one of the reasons for 3.1 and 3.2, or using Paragon HFS driver for Windows which is what I use and how I access HFS drives and works fine. And they have had a solid NTFS driver for OS X, but may want to check and Google for - some had trouble it seems, and any driver needs to be retuned for Lion or any OS update sadly.

  • Check number confirmation window does not appear and checks become confirmed automatically

    We have updated to SAP 9.10.105 PL 00,
    and we have two issues with check printing, first when we print check we do not receive a confirmation window and all of the checks show as being confirmed. as soon as be print checks in the payment wizard after the checks have printed we than get an error message.
    "no matching records found 'checks for payment' (OCHO) (ODBC 2028) [message 131-183]
    the second problem is if I set over flow to blank paper, it will only print one check at a time, and i still do not receive a confirmation window.
    I am not sure if the original patch for 8.8 was left out of the 9.1 release.

    Thanks for this, I found this after posting a message with SAP Support.  Just a heads up, they consider it as 'Consulting' function not an 'Application Error' so they will not be a fix.  We'll just need to know to make sure users know to un-check this Box. 
    SAP Note: 0001422688 - Print on Blank Paper checkbox on Checks for Payment
    Symptom
    Scenario 1:
    Check Number Confirmation window does not pop up after Checks have been printed.
    You might receive the following error message:
    'No matching record found 'Checks for Payment' (OCHO) (ODBC-2028) [Message 131-183]'.
    Scenario 2:
    User is not able to print batches of Checks either via Payment Wizard or via Document Printing and
    the Cheque Number Confirmation window does not pop up.
    Cause
    Consulting
    Solution
    The issue could be resolved by uncheck Print on Blank Paper on Banking -> Outgoing Payments ->
    Cheques for Payments
    'Print on Blank Paper' setting on Checks for Payment is saved per user
    SAP Note:  0001059752 - Printing Checks for Payment Skipping the Confirmation Screen
    Symptom
    Check Number Confirmation window does not appear and the check automatically get confirmed.
    Reproducing the issue
    Scenario:
    Print a Check for Payment Via Document Printing or Directly for the Check for Paymet screen (under
    Banking > Outgoing Payments)
    Expected Results:
    The Check Number Confirmation screen pops-up.
    Actual Results:
    Check Number Confirmation screen is skipped
    Cause
    Consulting
    Solution
    If the option 'Print on Blank Paper' is ticked, the Checks Number
    Confirmation window will not pop-up.
    Go through the following steps and check the settings:
    1. Go to Administration -> System Initialization -> Print Preferences -> Per Document tab,
    Document: Check for Payment. Check if the option 'Print on: Blank Paper' is ticked.
    2. In Check for Payment document check whether the tick box 'Print on Blank Paper' is ticked.
    3. Go to Administration-> Setup-> Banking-> House Bank Accounts. Check in the 'Paper Type' column
    if the option Blank Paper is chosen.

  • Hp probook 4420s does not start and continuous​ly cap lock blinks

    I have tried-------
    1. Bios Recovery ( used windows key and B and power button)
    2.  changed the memory to another slot
    3. Power button holding 3 times (15-20 sec) without connect AC & DC
    Still remain the same problem:
    Computer does not start and contineously blinking the cap lock
    Note: Using Windows 7, when I updated then suddenly shut down the computer and does not start.

    Try a hard reset as follows:
    1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
    3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
    4) Press the power button
    Please post your positive or negative results here in your thread.
    Your notebook does not have Windows 8 installed, but almost everything in this troubleshooting document applies. Take a look at the blinking leds section. Blink codes are a diagnostic aid and the sequence of blinks repeat. There is a list which will tell you what the repeating blinks mean.

  • Cluvfy returns Path "/tmp/" does not exist and cannot be created on nodes

    Hi,

    After run Pre-check for cluster services setup it returns the next message:
    Path "/tmp/" does not exist and cannot be created on nodes
    This meessage is happening after Checking node reachability and Checking user equivalence phases.
    This is my complete log:

    Performing pre-checks for cluster services setup

    Pre-check for cluster services setup was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    The /tmp is a shared filesystem and oracle user can write and read it
    Oracle user id is the same in both nodes
    Group dba id is the same in both nodes
    Group oinstall id is the same in both nodes
    The primary group for Oracle user is oinstall
    Where can my problem be ?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Even if this is not resolved from above stuff then do the following
    [oracle@node1] ssh node1 date
    [oracle@node2] ssh node2 date
    Note that it is doing the ssh to itself rather than the remaining node(s). Usually people do forget to do atleast once the ssh to itself.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    Hola, arreglado por mi parte también, chateando (en inglés...) con un operador que ha demostrado conocer perfectamente la solución (para Win7):
    En carpetas "C:\Program files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\" y "C:\ProgramData\Adobe\" deben activarse permisos de control total para el usuario (que puede no tener control total en el sistema) y desactivar "solo lectura" a las carpetas descritas y sus subcarpetas para que al iniciar se configure el registro adecuadamente. Una vez hecho esto me ha funcionado todo a la primera, me lo han explicado paso a paso por el chat. Un 10 para el técnico, un suspenso para Adobe por no publicar adecuadamente la solución.
    Gracias manufoto por tu explicación, parece que todo va a parar a las mismas carpetas.
