Hello! I own an MSI Wind laptop that experienced a failed Windows XP recovery. The first issue is that ntoskrnl isn't found. Since I don’t have a Windows XP CD, I’m attempting to install Ubuntu Hardy Heron via USB. Now the next issue arises: the laptop powers on initially, then I select the default BIOS settings and press F10 to save and exit. After that, it freezes during reboot (no video). When the freeze occurs, I turn off the power button and then press it again to restart. During this time, the laptop displays the sleep button as active but still shows no video. Every time I let the PC sit for about 20 minutes before turning it back on, it works and I can enter setup again.

I suspect the problem might be related to MSI Wind’s overclocking not handling the reboot properly.
* Am I having trouble with MSI Wind’s overclocking?
* How can I make the MSI Wind laptop start up correctly every time it reboots?
* Is there a way to install Ubuntu Heron successfully, or is there still a chance to recover Windows XP without the CD or serial number?

Hi there. I'm not an expert on your problem but i might have some suggestions. I assume when say you chose the default options in BIOS, you mean you are trying to revert the overclocks back to the base clocks. If it is posting then it shouldn't be a hardware problem and the clocks should be fine. It would tell you otherwise. The booting into sleep mode will most likely be an error with xp and part of the failed recovery. I don't know much about Ubuntu, but there is another option. If you can gain access to another computer you can create a windows 10 update usb (or disk) here

. You need at least a 4gb usb and you just follow the onscreen directions to download the media...

Hello there. I’m not an expert on your issue, but I can offer a few ideas. If you selected the default BIOS settings, it seems you’re trying to bring back the overclocks to their original clock speeds. If the process is successful, it shouldn’t indicate a hardware fault and the clocks should be normal. The system would usually signal otherwise. Starting in sleep mode often points to an error related to XP and may be part of the recovery failure. I’m not very familiar with Ubuntu, but there’s another method. If you have access to another machine, you can use a Windows 10 USB (or disk) from this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software.../windows10. You’ll need at least a 4GB USB drive and follow the on-screen steps to install. After creating the Windows 10 USB, enter BIOS, adjust your boot settings to boot from the USB first, then insert the Windows 10 USB and save before restarting (press F10). When it starts, it might ask you to boot from a disk or USB—observe carefully. After that, proceed with the on-screen instructions. I think this approach could work similarly for Ubuntu if you choose that route, though I’m not sure. Windows 10 remains free as long as you have your activation key. If you don’t have it, you can still install Windows and activate it via the Control Panel/Users, which will unlock advanced features like background customization. For more guidance, check this article: http://www.howtogeek.com/206329/how-to-f...duct-keys/. It might help you recover your Windows key from the registry if needed.
