What should be done if a system cannot boot from the hard drive

1. Check boot sequence

You may need to check if the boot sequence is in place. To do this, you will need to access BIOS. To enter BIOS, restart your computer. As soon as you see the manufacturer’s logo, note the key specified to enter Setup. The most common ones are F1, F2.

Press the key and enter BIOS. In BIOS, go to boot sequence tab. If you find that the boot sequence is wrong, move the preferred device (hard drive in the case) to the first place using up/down arrow keys. Hit Enter and restart your system. Now that the boot sequence is changed, check to see if the error persists.

2. Windows crashes during boot

Sometimes Windows will start the booting process but may crash halfway through. This may indicate a software issue. You can repair it using Startup Repair operation.

3. Use a Windows installation disc and click on Repair your PC.

Then click on Troubleshoot > Startup Repair.

Once you choose an OS, the tool will identify issues and fix them. If this doesn’t help, you will need to reinstall the OS or perform a reset.

 

4. Errors after Windows starts

You may encounter an error ‘Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you’. This indicates hardware or software issue.

To test this, boot your computer using Safe mode where your drivers are not loaded. If your computer performs well in Safe Mode, try uninstalling any drivers for recently installed hardware and reboot the system. If your system boots normally, probably there was an issue with the device.

Perform the same steps for any recently installed application. These steps help you identify and resolve the issue and allow you to boot from the hard drive.

5. Inaccessible boot device

If your hard drive is not working, you may receive errors such as ‘Inaccessible boot device’. This means that the computer is having trouble detecting your hard drive. It could be a result of corruption or damage on the hard drive. In such cases, in order to access your hard drive and retrieve data from it, you will need professional data recovery tools.

Answer:

A. data-link layer

Explanation:

Data-link layer is the first layer and allows a contiguous sequence of bits to be transmitted through the network.

On top of it is the Network Layer and it handles the task of routing network messages from one computer to another.

Then comes the Transport Layer which is the basic layer at which one network computer communicates with another network computer.

Use JavaWrite a program that will simulate a change machine found at cash registers. Input the amount due and amount paid from t
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Here is the JAVA program:

import java.util.Scanner;  //to accept input from user

public class Main { // class name

 public static void main(String [] args) {  // start of main method

   Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);  // creates Scanner class object to take input from user

   System.out.println("Please Enter the Cost of the Item: ");  // prompts user to enter the cost of item

   double itemCost = input.nextDouble();  //scans and reads the input value of item cost

   System.out.println("Please Enter the Amount Paid: ");  // prompts user to enter the amount paid

   double amount = input.nextDouble();  //scans and reads the value of amount from user

   int change = (int)(amount * 100 - itemCost * 100);  //compute the remaining amount i.e. change

   System.out.println("Change Owed: " + change / 100.0);  // displays the owed change

   int quarters = change / 25;  // computes the value for quarters

   change = change % 25;  // compute the quarters remaining

   int dimes = change / 10;  //  computes dimes

   change = change % 10;  //  computes dimes remaining

   int nickels = change / 5;  // computes nickels

   change = change % 5;  // compute nickels remaining

   int pennies = change;  // computes pennies

   System.out.println("Quarters: " + quarters);  // displays computed value of quarters

   System.out.println("Dimes: " + dimes);  // displays value of dimes

   System.out.println("Nickels: " + nickels);  // displays value of nickels

   System.out.println("Pennies: " + pennies);   }} //displays value of pennies

Explanation:

I will explain the program with an examples.

Suppose the user enters 4.57 as cost of the item and 5.00 as amount paid. Then the program works as follows:

Change is computed as

change = (int)(amount * 100 - itemCost * 100);

This becomes;

change = (int)(5.00 * 100 - 4.57 * 100)

            = 500 - 457

change = 43

Now the change owed is computed as:

change / 100.0 = 43/100.0 = 0.43

Hence change owed = 0.43

Next quarters are computed as:

quarters = change / 25;

This becomes:

quarters = 43/25

quarters = 1

Now the remaining is computed as:

   change = change % 25;

This becomes:

   change = 43 % 25;

  change = 18

Next the dimes are computed from remaining value of change as:

dimes = change / 10;

dimes = 18 / 10

dimes = 1

Now the remaining is computed as:

   change = change % 10;

This becomes:

   change = 18 % 10

  change = 8

Next the nickels are computed from remaining value of change as:

nickels = change / 5;

nickels = 8 / 5

nickels = 1

Now the remaining is computed as:

   change = change % 5;

This becomes:

   change = 8 % 5

  change = 3

At last the pennies are computed as:

pennies = change;

pennies = 3

So the output of the entire program is:

Change Owed: 0.43                                                                                                                Quarters: 1                                                                                                                      Dimes: 1                                                                                                                         Nickels: 1                                                                                                                       Pennies: 3  

The screenshot of the output is attached.
