X200 keeps loading in Win XP booting screen

Hi Experts,
I did a hard shut down by pressing the power on button for a few seconds when the X200 was doing update right before shutting down. Then my X200 keeps loading in Win XP booting screen after that.
I tried to boot it to safe mode or last configure which the windows works well but the X200 still keeps in loading in Win XP booting screen.
I just tried a Hard disk drive diagnostics with Hard disk drive diagnostics program before loading to Win XP booting screen and it returned a error "error code 0000: read verification failed".
I do need your kind advice and experience sharing to help me out.
1. Have you encountered similar problem and how to recover the X200?
2. If it cannot be recovered, how can I extract my data in the hard disk before i do a clean installation of Win XP?
Your kind advice and sharing is extremely appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Gary

that sounds like a harddrive failure. You can try take out the hdd and put into an external usb hdd caddy, then plug this into an external computer and try to recover the files that way.

Tecra 8200 wont boot - Frezzes on WIN XP boot screen

Hi
my 8200 wont boot. It runs for about 10 seconds (gets past the toshiba screen then onto the winxp boot screen and freezes.
Just before it does the screen flickers but then locks up.
any ideas???

Has the laptop worked OK before? If so, what (if anything) has changed since the last time you used it?
Try booting in Safe mode and see if you get to the Desktop. Need to identify if the problem is hardware or software related.
Lots of ways to progress from here and I'm sure others can advise. My initial thought it is some sort of graphics problem - either hardware or driver problem.

My apple stops its startup process in the apple symbol screen and keeps loading

My macbook has some startup problem as it keeps loading in the apple symbol screen and doesnt load to login screen. I have tried resetting PRAM and it produced no change. This problen occured when i logged out of guest account to reach admin account where i noticed the login page loading for a long time

See this Apple note on that boot issue.

Windows 8.1 freezes at boot screen

Hi,
Today morning when i tried to switch on my PC, it hangs on the Win 8 boot screen. At times it would give me the BSOD ofMachine_Check_Exception while hung at boot. At times it tries to do an Automatic repair as well, but freezes again on the boot screen itself with it below saying "Preparing Automatic Repair"
I also see an error PCI IRQ Routing Table Error - 07 1F 00 just before boot.
I would have to restart like 10-20 times or maybe more for it to get through to windows. I thought it was a windows issue so i tried to boot into my Win 8 and Win 7 USB's so i could format and reinstall but it Doesnt let me Boot into the USB after i select the option to do so. It would take my straight to my current Win 8 install Boot screen and hang there.
Since a few days now, my system would not shut down when i would click on shut down. The screen would go off and all but my Desktop cabinet would still be on. It used to restart fine when required but that doesnt work now too. I have to switch off the mains to get it to shut down so i can restart.
The red LED's on my mobo dont stop at the CPU, RAM, Video card and forgot whats the last one for. So is this a windows issue? A hardware issue? and how do i fix this?
I havent made any hardware changes to the system. Ive tried to boot with just the monitor plugged in to the system and same issue.
I have reset my BIOS. I cant get into safe mode or boot from USB.

Imac wont boot - i get a white screen with apple logo, and it loads to about 10%, then screen goes black

imac wont boot - i get a white screen with apple logo, and it loads to about 10%, then screen goes black

Hey there mtriest,
It sounds like you are unable to boot the iMac successfully as it keeps shutting down when you try to boot. I suggest the troubleshooting from the following article named:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Perform a Safe BootSimply performing a Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
If your Mac starts up as expected, immediately try restarting.
If the Safe Boot does not work, or the restart after a successful Safe Boot does not work, go to the next section.
There is additional information in the article with further troubleshooting if needed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

Blue screen of death, and continous reboot. Phone never actually boots up, just keeps going from reboot to blue screen and back again. Any suggestion?

Hello jared1915
If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

I recently spilled liquid on my computer, but it is up and running, it loads and brings me to the safe boot screen where I need to type my password, but It is not recognizing it, help! How do I get passed it or fix it! I have tried holding the apple key and "s" and then type in the code to reset the password, but my keyboard is not letting me use the numbers or any keys that are accessed by holding shift! Please help me get passed this screen

Fluids and electronics do not mix.
You have caused some serious damage to parts of your computer, and likely voided the warranty until Apple completes a repair and re-certifies it.
Step one is to turn it off and do NOT (did I say do NOT yet?) turn it on again yourself.
Take it to an Apple store and be prepared for a large repair bill.
Sorry, but that is the truth.

My imac screen keeps loading at the log in page

I cannot log in my account. The screen keeps loading at the log in page, even i try to reinstall the OS X. The imac cannot read the CD and keeps stay at the log in page. What is the problem?

This really is something to take up with a local Apple retail store or Premium re-seller. They will examine it and quote you a repair or replacement price. This is usually done without charge. Without knowing exactly what is wrong a guestimate would be worthless to you.

What keeps making the cyclical noise while in sleep. Sounds like iMac is loading a graphic or different screen.

What keeps making the cyclical noise while in sleep? Sounds like iMac is loading a graphic or different screen. Does it periodically while in sleep mode. How do I correct this? Just started doing it in the last few months.

I finally figured out how to fix this. First I reviewed "Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep of stay in sleep mode." I noted the bullet: "Do you have any other external USB or Firewire devices connected?" I have an CP685AVR for a UPS for my Mac. I replaced the battery a few months ago. I also hooked up Apple's 'Energy Saver' power management software to the CP685AVR using the USB connection. I disconnected it, and that solved the problem. I still have the UPS and battery back-up; I just can't "monitor" the battery. What's to monitor? It always said the battery was 100% charged even right up to the time the previous battery failed. Thanks for listening, uh... reading.

HT1366 My MacBook OS X version 10.6.8 is not going to sleep, keeps loading, then when turned on a blank screen appears, I shut it and the main menu comes up and then it takes awhile for the cursor to operate. Thanks

My MacBook wouldn't go to sleep, it keeps loading, so I have to turn it off. When I turn it on a blank screen comes on, I shut the lid and open it and the main menu screen comes up but the cursor won't work for awhile. Then, eventually, the cursor will work and everything is fine. Hmmm?

Why does my 4s keep returning tot the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the home button to see the lock screen?

3 or 4 times since I first fired up my iPhone 4S yesterday, it has displayed the boot screen (apple logo) when I press the Home button to display the lock screen. After 10-20 seconds the phone displays the lock screen, but at that point it has to search for a cell signal (as if the phone just booted up), which takes another 20-30 seconds.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Another thing that has happened only once, but that seems related, is that when I clicked the lock button on the top of the phone, the phone displayed the spinning circle that usually displays when an iPhone or iPad is shutting down.
Any ideas on what MIT be causing this?

Disk repair hasn't worked as well.
I just wanted to add a quick observation: after I tried the TM restore for the first time, Safe Boot in verbose mode seems to be stuck at this line "VBoxAdpDrv: version 3.1.0 r55467". This may point to the problem being a Virtual Box problem.
I use Virtual Box extremely rarely - haven't used it in many months. After a re-install, I'm going to remove it and then try the upgrade. If it works, then we've probably found the culprit. If it is real, Apple should maybe add a line saying Virtual Box known to cause problems with this upgrade (or fix it ).

Stuck on booting screen (loading progress bar)

My Mac stuck on the booting screen (the grey page) then shuts down, I've opened the recovery mode by holding the command+R then opened disk utilities -> verifyied my desk -> found errors -> repaired my desk -> Got red message "Disk utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible!" then i decided to create an image to store it on my external hardrive i got this message "Unable to create image input/output error"
What i have to do ? I need to back up my files and get my MAC running well !

You have already tried repair, and it did not fix enough to get your Mac working again.
Now buy two hard drives and enclosures.
One is a Large Backup drive. USB-2 enclosure will suffice, but the bigger the better. It does not have to be a notebook (2.5-in) form factor.
The Other is a candidate for a replacement for your internal drive -- but do not move it just yet.
While it is still in the external enclosure, Install Mac OS X on it and boot from it. Now you can get some work done if needed, and can use the full power of Mac OS X and additional Utilities to attempt to repair your drive and salvage your files. Mac OS X is about 400,000 of those files, so if they cannot be saved, it does not matter.
Once you have salvaged what you can and are confident that the new Boot drive works, you can swap it inside your MacBook and get portability back.

Yosemite boot screen back to grey after mail in service?

Hello all. I've been scouring the internet for days in attempt to find an answer for this, and nothing is consistent. Does anyone know the official list of supported board IDs that get the new black boot screen w/ white apple logo?
I have a 15" retina model (early 2013, 10,1), with a 2.7ghz board. I recently had to send in my computer to the mail in center because the logic board was having intermittent problems recognizing working power adapters. I also had a RAM error in AHD. Both of these issues were taken care of with a logic board replacement. Apparently my audio card was fried too, because they replaced it because of "audio distortion" that I couldn't notice prior, but that's unrelated.
Before the logic board replacement, I was running Yosemite 10.10.2, and through no modification or intervention on my part, I had the new black boot screen with white logo. I wasn't even aware that some computers running Yosemite didn't get this new boot background. But, when I got my computer back over the weekend, it booted up to the old gray EFI screen with darker gray apple logo. I googled around and found out that some models aren't "supported" and keep the old screen. But, mine SHOULD be supported right? It was my impression all retina models that upgraded to yosemite got the new boot screen.
When the computer came back to me, I didn't have to restore from a time machine backup either, they just kept my old SSD and put it on the new board. So it shouldn't be related to restoring from a backup or anything, it's the same SSD the computer was sent in with.
Here's a screen cap of my system report info:
Can anyone shed any light on this? There hasn't ever been an EFI update or SMC update for early 2013 models as far as I can find on apple's website; all updates are either for late 2013s and newer or mid 2012's and older. I figure maybe if I reinstall the EFI boot loader maybe the black screen will automatically come back? I'm thinking this stems from the fact that I had a logic board replaced without reinstalling the OS, which is when the OS would have modified the EFI boot settings? Please tell me that I don't have to actually reinstall yosemite to get the proper screen back. If that's the case, it's not worth it, but I liked that boot screen, haha.

I do not have a tested solution to your problem but you may try: PikeYoseFix-black at your own risk: PikeYoseFix-black.pkg.zip
In fact, I envy your for the gray startup screen and I am contemplating getting the gray startup screen back instead of my black startup screen.
Starting up, my MacBookPro Retina may just show a black screen for up to a minute before the apple logo finally appears. this leaves me wondering if I really have started the MacBook at all. Checking the cover from the back I can see that the apple is illuminated but that is not very elegant.
With the gray startup screen you know that you started the boot process. So even if it takes a while you are not tempted to press the start button again.

Elitebook 8540w windows 10 ati firepro 5800 drivers problem BLACK BOOT SCREEN

after installing windows 10 most drivers for my laptop works perfectly. however, the video drivers (doesn't matter if it's from auto windows driver update or the latest windows 7 update from HP) the result is the same namely: I keep getting a black boot screen when I start the PC or reboot the PC. It even happens when the driver installation is complete it for some reason turns black. the only solution is to close the laptop lit , turning it to standby and turn it back on. Please can anyone help?

I decided to test some more things tonight before rolling back to Windows 7. I seem to have found the same thing as you: Go to Device Manager - Display Adapters - Right click and select Update Driver Software - Browse my computer for driver software - Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer - under Show compatible hardware select Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and click Next. At this point my screen went black for several minutes (5+ minutes) and I couldn't get it to come back on. I then held down the power button to power off laptop. Booted PC back up and it loaded ok. Shut down, rebooted, and hibernated several times and the PC booted back up ok each time WITHOUT getting stuck at the black screen. Went back and checked in Device Manager and it is using the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead of the Intel HD Graphics driver. This appears to have resolved the issue but I'll test some more.

HP w1907 : Powering-up gets stuck at blue "HP invent" Boot Screen

Hello all,
I've HP w1907 desktop... I am using it since 2008.
Last month I've format it to have new windows 7 Ultimate in it... Previously also I was using win7 Ultimate.
But it was keep restarting after the use of 4-5 minutes and so I've installed the OS all over again.
It was working fine... after 3-4 weeks, when I started it, it gets stuck at blue "HP invent" Boot Screen.
This screen has the instructions for entering the "Boot Menu", "Setup", and "System Recovery" by pressing the "Esc", "F10", aor "F11" key. It just sits there forever.
If I try to enter the "Boot Menu"by pressing the "Esc" key, I get a message "Loading Boot Menu.....", but then it just hangs there forever. If I try to enter the "Setup Menu" I get a similar result - it says "Entering Setup...", and just hangs there. Pressing the "F11" key doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
By searching forums I've tried resetting the BIOS - which I've got from here :
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Powering-up-gets-stuck-at-blue-quot-HP-in...
and
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01080282&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
After doing this also, the result is zero
Please help me...
I am in hurry...
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hello Sir,
You was right...
The CMOS Battery was discharged!
I've replaced it ... and the date and time problem has been solved...
And you was right again by saying that it should not cause the problem while start up...
So the second problem (Major Problem) was CD Writer !!!
(I've changed the location of the PC last 3-4 weeks ago!!)
may be the it has grabbed the hardware of CD Writer..
And as the hardware of CD Writer was not working as per the expectation the BIOS may have got stuck...
And so it was unable to enter in Boot or Setup menu !!
I've removed the data and supply cord of CD Writer... PC is working good now...
I am thankful to you sir.. for your thourough help..
Without you it may not happened
Now I am going to repair the CD Writer by opening it tomorrow..
Any help from you will be great help to me and its really appriciable..
God Bless You...
Thanks for your valuable time.
