This is not an official version, but whatever, if it works it's good. I've been using Medicat for these years, and it has served me really well.
Are we sure this is legit? The original source for Hirens has always been at: https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd and I see no reference to this new version or domain on the authors page.
There are DOS drivers for USB controllers, i.e. DUSE. AFAIK they're only used currently to enable USB storage devices to be mounted under DOS, but if you can communicate with the bus, it should be possible to write a driver that maps an emulated gameport to a USB device. I just don't think anyone's done so as yet.
Reinstalling Windows at this point would be best for starters.

It's a bootable USB or CD image that contains a large amount of diagnostic and configuration tools, including partitioning tools. You'll need to download it on another computer and create a bootable USB drive or disc.
Scusa il ritardo, ero in viaggio quando ti ho scritto.
Servirebbe sapere l'errore esatto che ricevi. Un modo per reperirlo è aprendo il Monitoraggio Attività sotto il pannello di controllo. Il path è: Pannello di controllo\Sistema e sicurezza\Sicurezza e manutenzione\Manutenzione\ Visualizza Cronologia Affidabilità. Non vado in blue screen da una vita, quindi mi è difficile dirti cosa cercare. Dovrebbe esserci un cerchio rosso con una X nei giorni in cui il PC è andato in blue screen. Selezionando dettagli tecnici ci sono alcune informazioni come i codici che vedi citati sul sito Microsoft.
Ad occhio e croce, con quello che hai scritto, potrebbe essere della RAM con delle celle mal funzionanti e, quando l'OS va a scrivere/leggere in queste, va in crash. Per esserne sicuri, devi effettuare un memtest, con uno dei tanti tools che si trovano in giro. Io usavo questo. Ma.... con l'UEFI non boota, e l'ultima versione non sembra abbia dei tools per testare la memoria.
Try using hirens boot cd. Download HBCD here
And then follow these steps: https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk
For step 4, instead of copying from the cd just copy the contents of that zip file.
When you boot to hirens, you should be given a list of programs and utilities to use, DBAN will be listed there, and you can open to that.
1] Download Hiren's BootCD from THIS LINK
2] Make a Hiren's USB by following THIS GUIDE
3] Restart your PC and boot from the USB (most motherboards have Boot menu, its the easiest way to do it, in most cases its on F12, F11, F9, Esc or Enter)
If you see a black screen with white text menus then you made the USB correctly, if you don't see it double check the guide again and make sure you are booting from the USB. When you see that menu let me know for the next step and don't worry, this is the hardest part so once you see the menu the next part its much easier.
> One more query, when you say "clean the drive" for the external hard disk, do you mean a format while deleting everything or simply cleaning out the infection while leaving uninfected files alone.
Do you have a backup of the data on the disk? Because the answer is usually no...
Just scan repeatedly until AV says clean, should be enough.
> Also, which antivirus/software scan should I trust if it says that the PC/disk is not infected
I generally use Malwarebytes and Kaspersky, but there are other reputable AVs such as Symantec / Bitdefender etc. Bitdefender and Kaspersky has free version too
> Also, if I have to format the external disk completely, would it be better to plug it in and format it before the system restore in order to prevent plugging in an infected disk?
If you decided to format the external disk, it's better to use a known clean system to do so.
Yes you will lose all your files though and you will need your product key. Heres my standard guide Reinstalling Windows at this point would be best for starters.

Your temps look normal, can we get the model of power supply please. Also create a hirens bootable usb and try booting from that. https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk. Also try the usb ports on the front of your case if available, and try different usb ports on the back of your computer as well. Also try a different keyboard and mouse.
I cant find any info on beep codes, for hp laptops or any troubleshooting steps beyond what you have already tried. You can try creating a bootable hirens usb by following this guide https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk

I still carry a version of Hirens Boot Disc around on my keychain. Only tool I ever needed. You can live boot it and if you are running windows there are a bunch of tools too. I've also used the included Win95 live boot a few times to rescue some 2003 servers back in the day.
It brings up a menu, you select what you want.
As I recall there's a submenu with password programs.
There is a version for download with all non-free programs removed.
Actually, my CD is old, looks like the latest version has a Windows PE front end. And according to this, it has more password programs than before.
First off, I would run through a check of all the connections. Make sure everything is where it's supposed to be, and that the connections are fully seated. Sounds like it's not a psu issue, right off the bat. Honestly if windows can run through the entire installation without running into a problem, it doesn't sound like a hardware issue either.
I always use Hirens Bootdisk to resolve these issues. And it's basically exactly what you're talking about. It's a liveboot environment that includes a bunch of useful windows diagnostic software.
https://www.hirensbootcd.org/ https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
Edit: and if you know where to look, there's some versions of hbcd that come with better software. I believe the version on hiren.info is better, but I'd recommend you look into it yourself.
Here is a snippet from the Tom's Hardware write-up:
Hiren's Boot CD puts all the diagnostic, repair, and recovery tools you need on one convenient bootable disc.
Hiren's Boot CD bypasses the operating system of a computer and loads antivirus, hard drive scanning, partition management, system diagnostics, and many other repair software, all working straight from the disc. Even if your OS isn't booting or functioning correctly, Hiren's Boot CD will be able to perform all of its operations, as it works independently of the OS.
The disc also comes with many backup tools, including hard drive cloning and imaging software, and also has the ability to completely and securely wipe a hard drive.
Additionally, here is a comprehensive list: https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
Can't help you with diagnosing the hard drive. But I can suggest some boot disks:
But for a Window boot CD for debugging I'd go with the Hiren’s BootCD PE (latest release 2018) which is developed by fans of Hiren's BootCD (latest release 2012).
For Linux boot CDs most distributions offer some form of live boot for evaluation but Knoppix is designed to be a live boot OS. I find I can usually get by on a Debian or Ubuntu disk, though.
You can use an old Windows disk as a boot disk; sometimes they have a recovery mode but otherwise you can press Shift+F10 in the installer boot environment to get a command prompt. The tools are limited, though.
Try boot some rescue environment (like https://www.hiren.info/). Maybe it's some driver failure or some of components are gone. Also try to boot with only the most necessary components. Hirens boot contains stress test softwares, RAM test, etc. It also have Linux-based partitioner, Linux can be more specific in hardware issues. Try to search for error codes if any. If you have driver issues then you can try to install Windows without internet connection to prevent install latest drivers, then you can deny driver updates for a specific hardware (use search to find out how). And you can use a previous, working version.
UIDE is a disk cache. Your post is a bit lacking in details, but my crystal ball says you may not have also loaded the necessary CD/DVD driver required to grant access to said optical media.
So, under DOS, there's two bits that are required. A driver for the optical drive (there's plenty to choose from, but try vide-cdd.sys, available from https://www.hiren.info/downloads/dos-files ). Depending on your hardware, you may need to try others, but I've found vide-cdd to be pretty compatible and it has a small memory footprint.
The second part is the driver that lets DOS use CDs, which would be mscdex or, as you appear to be using, shsucdx.
Then, on top of these two, you can use UIDE.sys to cache drive reads, it uses XMS memory to do so (which means you also need an Extended Memory Manager as well).
The CD driver and uide are loaded in config.sys, mscdex/shsucdx in autoexec.bat.
If you have access to another pc go to
https://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/
Dl then convert to ISO and save on USB
Here's a reference guide
https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk
Then go into BIOS and choose boot options to boot from USB and put it first in boot order.
Restart and trouble shoot w hirens
What's wrong with the laptop? You might be surprised how easy they are to fix, and nothing's cheaper than DIY. PM or respond here if you'd like some help diagnosing it. This used to be part of my job.
Sounds like hardware, but if it's a software issue, there's probably a tool in Hiren's Boot CD that can help, and you could get a friend to write it to a USB drive or CD.
If you hear beeps when you turn it on, the pattern lets you know what's wrong. Search for "[manufacturer] beep codes".
If it turned off when liquid was spilled onto it, remove the battery, the bottom panel, and the keyboard and leave it somewhere warm for a day. Sometimes they're not permanently damaged.
If it seems like the battery is dead and it doesn't charge, check the cord and charge port for damage. If the center pin is bent in the port, you may be able to line it back up. If the port looks fine, you can test the charger either with a friend's similar laptop or a multimeter if you can find one. If the port housing is cracked but wiggling the cord gives you intermittent power, you may be able to open it up and fix that housing with a strong epoxy like JB Weld.
If it's a bad screen, I guarantee your college has dozens of old/standby desktop pc flat screens sitting in storage, and you could probably borrow one until you can get a replacement part.
With bad RAM (memory), sometimes you'll have two modules. Remove one and try to boot. If that doesn't work, try the other one.
RAM, storage, wifi, keyboards, screens, and touch pads are usually easy to replace. Cheap on eBay too. It might surprise you how easy it is to swap these things—you don't have to be a super-geek. Whatever it is, there's a YouTube video to walk you through it.
It could be anything, drives fail in many ways, even new ones, i've had brand new RAM fail after a week of use, give hirenbootcd a go, it has a bunch of tools for HDD error checking.
This happened to me too.
No way out unless you re-install Windows
I'm Sorry
​
FYI if you want to backup files from your installation drive, you can do so by booting from Hiren's Boot CD.
Hiren's BootCD - One stop shop for basically anything. From loading antivirus before boot, or imaging a drive that's on it's last leg. Lots and lots of tools builtin, and it has a desktop gui as well.
​
You can prepare boot USB stick with Hirens Boot CD (see here: https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd-on-usb-disk) and then set the new password using it.
if you have access to a working computer and 16GB+ USB drive, you can download a bootCD with utilities to check things for you.
Back when i did alot of desktop support i made my own bootcd, but i believe that UBCD (ultimate boot cd) is still around and free. I think Hiren's Boot CD is still floating around as well.
You can also download a "free" copy of windows 8 from microsoft. As long as you have the CD key that should be printed somewhere on the laptop, you can just download and pop it on a bootable USB or recreate the CD and use that.

Incorrect, the original (or at least back in the day) used to be hosted at thanki.tk
Does anyone know if this is legit Hiren's or just by the guys running the fan page? I don't see anything about it on Hiren.info. Doesn't look like it'll will quite replace medicat for me but I do appreciate how much slimmer this is.
You could try Hirens boot CD - https://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd
There, you could use the mini windows XP and command prompt to change/remove the password
Edit - Heres a guide http://www.hirensbootcd.org/resetting-windows-password/
-Edit again- The guide shows a different way than I explained. Give it a go ;)
probably your hard drive is dying especially since you mention these strange sounds. download a hard drive testing tool that can run at boot and see what you get from that.
download something like hiren's and boot that to the hard drive testing tools.
