Have you tried tapping the F8 key when you restart the computer, if not please do so and let us know what happens.Thanks for getting back to me, but I now have a serious problem with my computer. My friend was here for a week with her boys, ages 7 & 12. I don't know what they did to my computer b/c it won't even come on. I have tried several times to repair it with my Repair Disk & am now getting this message: Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. Insert your Windows installation disc & restart your computer. Can't boot into windows 7 Status: 0xc000000f
I don't know the Log On password of the person who built the computer & I couldn't find that it even recognizes me as a User. What to do now? I have worked on it for so many hours that I feel like taking my .357 to it!!

Did you try Safe Mode.Yes, I did all of that. On my system, F2 opens the BIOS settings & F8 opens Press any key to boot from CD, Repair, Reinstall, etc. I tried this several times....and even tried System Restore, which gave me lots of date options, but when that failed, there were no more date options.
The post was made invisible by myself as it had no relevance to the computer problem/s that you are having, pulling the MBs CMOS battery will restore the motherboards default factory settings but it will not fix a damaged operating system or a HDD that may have mechanical or electrical issues, above and beyond the aforementioned there was no consideration made for a persons health and safety - it should never be suggested that a person opens up their computer without first establishing that they are both confident and competent to do so and/or also providing factual and easy to follow guidance.There was a reply on here from another person yesterday, but it's gone today. I had never heard of the info, so I did not try it. I found the post (deleted for some reason??)
We cannot help you with anything password related but have you tried leaving the password field blank or tried entering the word admin.So, what do you think I should do now? What makes me so mad is that it was just last week I was asking you about buying an external HD to put my backups on. Also, I can't believe I made a Repair Disk & not a Password Recovery
This will not help with the computer being password protected and depending on the type of disk that you have will determine whether or not a full format and fresh installation of the OS is possible.I found the Product Key sticker for my computer. Is this going to help any as far as getting it to boot up?

As I thought system builders do not tend to input their own passwords in order to avoid getting phone calls and emails from unhappy customers.I figured out that there is NO password set for the original user (person who built computer) by just pressing Enter when I was on the screen that has the options System Restore, Command Prompt, etc. Can't believe I didn't think of doing this before.
It is not good practice to follow the guidance on more than one site, it can lead to confusion as to who`s guidance you are following and if something were to go wrong it could end up in a blame game, decide who`s help you wish to continue with and notify the other forum/s as a courtesy please.I have attached the files that someone on another website had me run on a USB drive, but he did not know why it would not boot up after doing everything he recommended. You can see all that he had me fix on one of the files.
Have you followed the Puppy instructions exactly.I burned the CD, but it just boots my computer to a list of commands to choose from - certainly no pretty screen w/a puppy.
