    no need to use flash disk, use external CD/DVD drive to boot n repair the OS. The external CD/DVD drive has usb cable connected to your PC. Insert bootable disk i.e winXP/ Vista/Win7 etc. restart your PC with the disk inserted

SOURCE: not booting. "disk read error occurred"

This means you HDD is either corrupt or faulty, try downloading a copy of Hirens BCD to try to access the HDD (or use and external HDD enclosure) and if you can, put it back in the laptop, if not reformat it and reinstall windows.

SOURCE: Windows xp will not boot on my hp mini 110.Keeps

Try selecting Last Known Good Configuration, or Safe Mode, and use System Restore option to go back to a date where the system booted correctly.

If neither of these options work, then you need to try to get into Recovery Console:

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD drive and restart your computer. If you are prompted, select any options required to start (boot) from the CD.
  2. If you are prompted to Boot from CD, you need to change your Boot menu Order in BIOS or Setup to boot from CD before it boots from Hard Disk.
  3. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts. Select the repair or recover option by pressing R.
  4. Type 1 to select C:\Windows
  5. When you are prompted, type the Administrator password. (usually blank, so just hit the Enter button on your keyboard.
  6. Type chkdsk /r (space between k and /) and press Enter.
  7. The process may seem to take a while and freeze at times, but it's working. Just allow it to finish on it's own. Once done, you can type exit, and press Enter. Remove the CD before the system starts up again.

The posible problem of your notebook is the operating system may be corrupted or could not detect your hard drive because of cable connection has loose from board to HDD or totally damage. Try to use another working HDD for isolation properly.

SOURCE: I recover the operating system

Go into the BIOS by pressing f10 when powering on the laptop.

Go to System Configuration and choose Device Configuration

Scroll down to SATA Native Mode and disable.

Press f10 to save configuration. The computer should reboot and press f9 to select boot device.

See if the 160GB hdd is now showing as an option. If it is then you are in luck.

p.s: You may need to update the BIOS to the latest if it still does not show up for you.

Testimonial: "thanks for your solution. but, how I can update the bios?"

HP 530 won't see hard drive

Are you sure there is no usb / CD in the computer?

Try pressing F8 when the computer boots and select the HDD as the boot device.

If this works, you'll need to reset the boot order in the CMOS / BIOS.

I have an hp dv9925nr laptop running vista home premium 64. I tried to reset to factory settings and now when I try to start up I get a boot manager error. It says \boot\bcd status 0xc000000f error...

Most of the boot up of problem because of hardware problem, registry missing or crashed, file deleted or changed.
You can boot up your Windows with Tenorshare Data Recovery WinPE.It allows users to burn ISO file to CD/DVD/USB flash drive directly.
Step 1: Download Tenorshare Data Recovery WinPE in any available computer (not from PC that can't boot up). Then launch it.
Step 2: Insert CD/DVD/USB flash drive to the computer, choose ISO image file. Here we take USB flash drive for example. Then burn ISO file into flash drive.
Step 3: Insert the burned flash drive to the unbootable PC. Run computer and press "F2", "F10" or "Delete" to enter BIOS setup.
Step 4: Use the arrow keys to select Boot tab, select Boot Device Priority and press Enter. Please choose 1st Boot Device to USB, and then press F10 to save setting. Now,you can boot up your PC.
If you have a backup for your Windows then perform a system restore to fix it.If not,reinstall it.If you have no backups for all your data,you can use Tenorshare to retrieve data under any boot up problem.You can get it from http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/datarecoverywinpe.htm

Getting "unmountable boot volume" error

Windows is totally corrupted - you will have to reinstall it. For that you will need an external CD unit and the recovery disk that came with the Mini. If you don't have it then you can either buy it from HP or borrow a similar XP install disk from a friend and use it and your key.

Hp labtop non system disk error

Hi, this error most often occurs when you try to boot your computer up with either a flash drive (USB drive) or a CD/DVD already in the computer. The system checks these drives first for operating systems before the hard drive, and when it doesn't find your operating system it displays that error. Remove the disk or flash drive and try to boot your computer again, and the error should go away.

Hp mini 110 1115sa hang on hp logo screen..

Well, I just want to comment something about it. I got the same problem and I am following the treads over the Internet and found a lot of complains to HP and few ideas; and for those whose guarantee is finished by this date, like mine, we got trouble and no real solution.
I reset hardware, and it didn't work at all. So, it seems it's just a little push for the HP Bios to work properly because the problem resists. I replaced the memory module and the same symptom. I didn't flash the Bios and didn't use the Recovery Software as those steps were mentioned not to work for this issue.
When the mini boot, I tested the Hard Drive with the utility from HP BIOS and it passed, also the Ram did. I tested them with third party software and passed, both mounted in this mini. Everything pointed out that replacing the Hard Drive would work. I installed a new 250 Gb Toshiba HD and at first boot a "clack" noise came from the HD maybe in the middle of the POST and it passed and the message that "select other boot device, bla bla.." appear. Good, but at the second try, the same problem came out: HP mini hangs on the HP logo screen. Please, any ideas will help this community. Do this new drive is bad too?
I feel some overheating, (I don't know what Atom temperature should be), by the dissipator and guess it would freezes the POST routine, or simply the BIOS is malfunctioning. I noticed that when the mini was turned off for a long time, it boots without problems even with the original hard disk and it loaded and worked fine in windows 7. Besides, I could start a Disk Clone process in order to get the same original installed software from HP. But this failed, too. Norton Ghost report "an internal inconsistency error". I guessed this was because of the bad sectors the original HD would have. After this step. I got acces to both disks using Partition Magic and other tools, even though, I partitioned the new HD. I just found a partiton table error in original disk and was fixed by Partition Magic. Everithing, as I said, looked great to remove the original HD an install the new one. But you already know.
Again, any help will be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

My Hp probook 4510s cannot boot it gives error of PXE failure after startup screen it says media cable check error.

Your computer tries to "boot" from several devices:

* floppy disk
* CD/DVD drive
* internal disk-drive
* USB memory-stick
* over the network, if it can find a "boot-server" on the local network.

So, the 'PXE failure' and 'check cable' errors occur either because there is no cable connected to the network-port, or because there is no "boot-server" on your network.

Enter BIOS setup, and check the "order" of possible boot-devices,
to ensure that the "network-boot" device is set to the _lowest_ priority.

What this could mean is that the computer *TRIED* to boot from the disk-drive, but *FAILED* to do so, i.e., you have a problem with the disk-drive in your computer. Ouch!

Hp mini 1035nr will not boot up gives a replace hard disk error

make sure that there is not a floppy disk in the drive, a CD rom in the drive, etc. If there is not, watch carefully at boot for the function key to enter bios (usually F2 or Del) Push it and make sure that the boot order has the Hard drive listed. if it is listed, you may have to replace your hard drive. I would take it in to a local shop to be tested.

New HDD inserted into Pavilion ZD7000 - will not boot from XP CD

Try your old HDD in it and see if that works. If it does work then nothing is damaged except your DVD drive/Controller. Try putting the new HDD in another computer, installing windows then putting it back in the HP. If all else fails then flash the bios with an updated image and see if that rectifies the problem.
