Driver issues during new install of Vista OS

$

0
I am doing a new install of Vista Home Basic on a HP Pavilion a1730n computer. I am at a point where it ask to load drivers from a system disc. Unfortunately I can no longer locate such a disc. I have tried searching the internet for the necessary drivers with no luck. I am thinking if I can load the drivers on a USB stick I can use that.
Any pointers regarding the needed drivers, or other options?
Help will be much appreciated.

Hello, I replaced the cmos battery today because the last one died out. After booting the computer, however, the following error appears: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device". This error didn't show up before and I didn't touch any of the hard drive cables. Any idea on how to fix this? Thank you.

Ok so I did a factory reset on my fiance's computer (HP G60-125NR) running Vista. After going through all the prompts to set it back up I have no internet. I reset it due to being very sluggish and a lot of junk he had on it. I did not try and connect to the internet before doing the reset so I am not sure if it had the problem to begin with. Aside from basic trouble shooting using windows and the network sharing center I am not sure where to go from here. any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached is a copy of the ipconfig/all I did but not knowing what I am looking at it does not really help me. I have also attempted to remove anything dealing with Norton manually because it has caused problems with internet functions in the past but I am not sure if I got everything. I tried the Norton Removal Tool but it would not load. I got an error message saying the file was not signed so it wont run. TIA for any and all help.

odd problem with multiboot and external drives

$
0
0
I multiboot, dos,2K,XP,7, 10, various linux and BSD flavors.
Each OS is on it's own Esata drive with no boot manager, so technically not exactly a 'multiboot'.
Problem is that immediately following a w10 update,(while only the w10 drive was connected) every time I connect the w10 drive to copy data etc, I get a blue screen on w7. It only happens on W7, and then OINLY with that w10 drive, the old not updated w10 loads fine.
This does not happen on any other OS, just when I am running W7 and turn on the updated w10 drive.
again, there was no change, other than bookmarks and a save game or two on the w7 drive and the W10 drive was the only one updated.
Before the w10 update, if I turned on the w10 drive while running w7, I would get a 'what do you want to do with drive x' message, now it's a bluescreen instantly.
When I reboot, leaving both the w7 and w10 drives installed, and use f12 to select the w7 drive to boot into W7, I have no problems. BUT if I turn the w10 drive off and boot to 7, I have the same problem when I turn the w10 drive on. (And yeah, I am one of the rare people who has OS2 disk set up for multiboot :) )


Any ideas on how to fix it?

Network Printing stops next morning, DNS?

In one of our department we have several windows 7 clients that use a Legacy application, every morning, we must do a ipconfig /flushdns along with nbtstat -R, arp -d accompanied with a reboot, then users can print again via the application for entire work day. When they come back in next morning the DNS flush...etc process must be repeated otherwise the App hangs spinning when press the print button. I was thinking DNS cache is expiring and App is try to still use it next morning...etc I don't know if this is a DC issue or client pc issue. Any help greatly appreciated! -- the reboot must be done, fyi.

Ramdisk Device Options boot loop?

Hi All,I just attempted to capture a custom image of my computer using WDS (Windows Deployment Services) however instead of finishing the process with a usable image file my computer is stuck in a boot loop with the entries shown below -



I thought that a logical approach to this problem would be to repair Windows using the original installation disk. However when attempting to repair with the Windows disk I get the error message below -



I am now at a loss concerning how to fix this issue. Ideally I would like to avoid reinstalling Windows from scratch.

How many times do I need to be burned by WDS before I just accept that it is useless?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo
