It's not clear what exactly you mean. Generally, you don't connect two computers together using a USB cord. You can use a "cross-over ethernet cable" to connect the network jack of one computer to another computer. This allows transferring files and/or sharing an internet connection. If you have a wireless router you can enable Windows "File and Printer Sharing" on each computer and transfer files that way. Please provide more details of what you're trying to accomplish by connecting the computers together with a USB cable, and we may be able to give you a more specific answer.

    IF your laptop doesn't run (turn on)....it is often possible to

  • callhow Aug 01, 2014

    start the laptop be using a USB cord to "start up/BOOT" from another device...An external drive might have the software to initiate the laptop to BOOT. IF your laptop does start...then the USB cord ( or what it is "attached" to may be the problem. The USB cord attached to your laptop ONLY doesn't have any bearing on the laptop "until" it is attached/plugged into another device.

Your question is not totally clear. I will take a guess you are trying to use your laptop's wireless to connect to the internet; and, then want to use that connection on your desktop.

You can do this using a bridged usb to usb cable and using ICS to share the connection your laptop.

DO NOT use an A to A usb cable! Might blow the usb ports.


Here is a link to an article on connecting your computers: Connecting Two PCs Using USB USB Cable Hardware Secrets


And, here is an article on ICS (internet connection sharing in Windows: Using ICS Internet Connection Sharing Windows Help


You will need to some reading; and, maybe, some trial & error.

My toshiba laptop displays an expected error occured. Error Code 0xc0000034 during booting window

This error code 0xc0000034 usually indicates a problem with the boot configuration data (BCD) file on your Toshiba laptop.
The BCD file stores boot configuration information and is required for Windows to start up. The most common cause of this error is a missing or corrupt BCD file.

You can try the following steps and can try to resolve this issue:

1. Boot into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)
2. Launch the Command Prompt.
3. Type the following command to rebuild the BCD file: "bootrec /rebuildbcd".
4. Press Enter and follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If these mentioned steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to perform a repair install or a clean install of Windows.

How to UEFI mode? Based on Computers

  1. Use Device Manager's Firmware option and select Boot from EFI Internal Shell.
  2. Use the EFI internal shell, as follows:
    1. Start the EFI internal shell from the EFI boot menu and select the drive with the Windows product DVD or Windows PE. The following example assumes that the drive is Fs0:

      Shell> Fs0:
    2. Start the EFI boot application. For example, on an x64 system, run the following command:

      fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI For an Intel Itanium system, run the following command:

      Fs0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTIA64.EFI
    3. After the application starts, you may be immediately prompted to press a key to boot from the drive to continue. Press a key to continue booting from the installation media.

    4. After the installation is complete, you can check whether Windows used the EFI boot environment by running DiskPart and verifying that the drive is formatted using the GPT file structure and that the ESP and MSR partitions are present.

Accer aspire 5715z problem file boot/bcd

It seems that the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) is corrupted.
Microsoft has completely reengineered the boot environment for Microsoft Windows Vista to address the increasing complexity and diversity of modern hardware and firmware. One aspect of this reengineering is a new firmware-independent data store that contains configuration data that influences the boot process. This paper provides an overview of this configuration data - called boot configuration data (BCD) - and describes how to use the related tools to manage boot options.
Step 1
Perform chkdsk which will repair the bad sectors of the hard drive.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

2. Type chkdsk/ f, chkdsk/r, chkdsk/i, chkdsk/c in the commands listed below i.e. (/f, /r , /i, /c).
Step 2
Try to load BIOS to default and check if you have similar issue.
Step 3
I would suggest you to rebuilt BCD. To do this, follow these steps:
To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Put the Windows Vista or Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.
  2. Press a key when you are prompted.
  3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.
  4. Click Repair your computer.
  5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.
  6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
  7. Type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.
8. Type bootrec /RebuildBcd , and press Enter.

  • bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup

  • The boot sector has been replaced with a non-standard Windows Vista boot sector.
  • The boot sector is damaged.
  • An earlier Windows operating system has been installed after Windows Vista was installed. In this scenario, the computer starts by using Windows NT Loader (NTLDR) instead of Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe).

Additionally, this option displays the entries that are currently not in the BCD store.

Additionally, this option lets you select the installations that you want to add to the BCD store. Use this option when you must completely rebuild the BCD.
