    Laptop won't boot from hard drive, nor from pendrive


    on a random day, when a booted up my pc, it worked fine, until sometime later it started to hang. i eventually, went to turn off the pc. as soon as i chose to shut down, a BSoD appeared, by the time i could take note of the error, it restarted. after that restart, it booted itself in Automatic Repair, as soon as I chose an option, it didn't boot again, nor the windows 10, nor the automatic repair.I bought a USB and made it Bootable, for recovery, but when booting from USB, it is stuck on boot loop. The USB is not corrupted, and i have tried several times, but failed. What should I do?

    :)

    Can't get replacement hard drive to boot

    The boot sector on my Windows 10 HP ProBook 650 laptop went bad. I purchased a replacement 1 TB hard drive, connect it to my laptop with a SATA to USB cable, set up partitions identical to those on my laptop and used xcopy to copy my files to their corresponding partitions on the new drive and set the partition to "active" and installed it in the laptop. When I power it up, it will not boot. I have followed various troubleshooting steps I found online but none worked. Can anyone suggest some possible solutions? Thanks DH

    How to boot from pendrive?

    Hello,
    I want to boot one dvd but my dvd drive isnt able to read any datadvds.
    i dont know y.
    it can read movie dvds..some times blank dvds too and if i write on those blank dvds and then insert in dvdrw drive, it doesnt read..it reads all cds though..

    so i want to boot one dvd but as it isnt working, i copied dvd to pendrive and want to boot from pendrive..

    how to do that?

    i tried to change boot order in bios but it's not booting from pendrive..

    or give me solution so that my dvd rw driv will read all dvds..


    previously due to this problem,i've also replaced drive but it doesnt solve problem and so HP guys told it's OS problem.
    If i'll format my and reinstall OS, it'll work.

    My notebook : HP notebook dv6226tx, windoes vista home premium
