Set the BIOS to boot a floppy first, see if you can load a boot floppy. If not, then you have a serious hardware problem, did you change any settings in the BIOS? You may need to bring it to a shop for service. If you are able to boot, then you have a hard drive problem. Check your detection settings, and download and run a drive diagnostic tool from the hard drive manufacturer to see if the drive has failed. It wouldn't hurt to reseat the cabling either.

SOURCE: asking password before booting

Sounds like somebody installed a hard drive password, and there is no way to get around it but to replace the hard drive and start over.

SOURCE: I CANNOT BOOT MY IBM THINKPAD 2367..HELP

Both errors are related to the backup battery which is located under the main battery. It is probably dead. You can get one on eBay for $3.29 w/free shipping or pay a shop $20 to put one in. If you do it yourself be very gentle plugging it into the tricky little slot - it is possible to break the connector loose from the motherboard but it is an easy repair if you have patience and dexterity. As for the password, try just hitting enter. It is the supervisor password to change the BIOS settings and was probably never set.
Hope this helps.
Jon

Blue screen on envy 13 admin password prompt with system disabled - CAN YOU FIX HP ERROR CODE 64449838
I can only help with the system admin password (presumed windows). You will have to manufacture a "Password Reset Disk" on another PC or laptop (preferably running same OS - you will need your product key COA number). Instructions on MS website. Also - check your BIOS settings are OK when setting to boot on the password reset disk. That will be F1 or DEL probably on power up.Good Luck.

Wont run windows at all. Says: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You have a corrupt registry and it needs to be replaced.
Doing a System Restore will do this. Since you cannot run it from the hard drive, you will have to boot from a Windows DVD.
Here is the procedure

You did not specify which version of Windows you have so I just picked W7 as an example. If you need more specific instructions, you need to give more specific information.

Your Hard Disk Drive is crashing or has crashed. You need to buy a new hard disk drive, and then you will have to reinstall windows and start over.

The compuyter made a very funny running sound and then the screen with black. I can not start up the laptop, but 2 blue power buttons are on.
You got 2 options:
1-Start the pc and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl>+alt>+del> keys twice and it'll show Classic Login box. Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows. Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts". Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
2-Some computer systems have a setting in the BIOS Setup to disable the password. The BIOS Setup is accessed with the F1, F2 or DEL key during boot up. If you have forgotten your password, most systems have a jumper on the motherboard that can be pulled off to clear the password. If there is no jumper available, you can also remove the battery for 5 minutes to clear CMOS.

If you need more help post back!
Thumbs and testimonial are welcome!

This means it has crashed. You will need to use your recovery disk that came with the laptop to re-install Windows and the system drivers.

Sounds like the hard drive might have gone bad. Or a virus has corrupted the partition table. Try re-installing Windows.

Compaq Presario Disk Boot Failure, insert sytem disk and press enter
If you have your original Windows install disk, you can boot off of that, and should be able to recover most of your files, assuming your drive has not died fully. Depending on how important your files are, you can send the drive to a drive recovery service. I did that a couple years ago, they were able to recover all my files but it was EXPENSIVE. $1200.

3. Keep doing so until you reach the Boot Options menu

IBM 600 Laptop ERROR: 161, 163 Got a 10 yr. old IBM 600 that was still working good(leaving the left side LCD problem) for the last 3 months and put it in storage(remove the external main battery and put the laptop in its bag and place in a good storage). Tried to open it up today but got stock up with an ERROR 161(Dead CMOS Battery), 163(Change Date and Time), and sometimes 192(Fan Error; which could be easily fix up). Tried to solve the problem with no luck by the following steps: 1&gt; Try to remove/re-insert the CMOS battery and start the laptop but doesn&#39;t work. ===knowing that a PC would still work out with a dead cmos battery. 2&gt; Couldn&#39;t enter the BIOS Setup(F1 key).===restarted the PC repeatedly without great results. :c *3&gt; The boot up screen got large. See Image Below: 1st Image: usually the ERROR code box comes out only with just the same size of the green colored box, but now it got large. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/tadomore/DSC02164.jpg 2nd Image: The "196032KB OK" comes out only with a font size of 12 and not that big. http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee454/tadomore/DSC02165.jpg Anyone got any possible solutions?
