bootrec.exe /fixmbr

After that check
Do give this a try and let us know

  • How to install opensuse-arm-xfce-12.3 on Lenovo A3000 tab

    Sir recently I have bought Lenovo A3000 tab which is having android version 4.2.2 and 16 GB internal memory, 1.2 giga hertz quad core processor and 1GB ram.
    I want to use opensuse on my tab so I have downloaded the file opensuse-arm-xfce-12.3.tar.xz I have extracted successfully it and found .IMG file and opensuse.sh file.
    Kindly suggest how to install the above os in my tab with dual booting ie., opensuse and android.
    I am expecting the two operating systems to be on 16 GB internal memory and so suggest how to partition the internal memory.
    I have searched the net and followed the procedure which is too difficult to understand even though I have performed some of the steps like becoming root, installing busy box,complete Linux installer etc.,.
    when I launch the complete Linux installer app it is showing message as unable to mount the image loop device not working.
    Regards,
    Rupesh.

  • Computer freezes before BIOS after arch linux install

    This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
    I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
    Computer specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
    DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
    ATI Radeon x800
    2 GB DDR RAM
    160 GB SSD
    I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

  • Linux Install Problem

    Hello,
    I hope I'm in the right forum.
    I have tried a triple boot on my macbook (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP504)
    - extra partition for Win7 and Linux - installed rEFIt - Windows installation without problems.
    But the Linux install fails.
    (Tried to install with openSuse 11.3) The CD booted normally. But after I clicked on the "install"-Button, a green screen appears and nothing moves. I've also tried to install Ubuntu (10.4 LTS) but after the CD booted, a black screen appears and the screen is frozen.
    After that I decided to reinstall my OSX, perhaps it helps. But that doesn't solve the problem.
    Sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me,
    Max

    Thanks for the reply. I figured it out on my own. Something to do with
    specifying the directory or changing the current directory, I forget exactly which.

  • No display after linux install on Satellite A100

    Hi All,
    On the weekend I decided to install linux on an extended partition on my toshiba satellite a100. I did a fresh install of windows from the recovery cd and everything worked fine. I then installed linux on an extended partition and my computer displays nothing when starting up - (the LCD has a back-light) and I get all the beeps and it reads from CD's etc. The strange thing is that I can plug it into an external monitor and it works fine. When I start it up with an external monitor I can then switch to the LCD and I get a display but it is very slow and has many imperfections.
    I have updated the bios, installed the latest graphics drivers (ati) but still have no improvement. Since the linux install I have removed the extended partition and installed windows from the recovery cd again (still not improvement).
    Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can try next?
    Thank you in advanced for your help.

    You ask what you can do??
    Delete and format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS from the recovery CD.
    If you want to use the Linux, I would recommend using a Knoppix. You can get it on the Live CD and its not necessary to install it on the HDD.

  • Trying to install 10.9 yields "damaged HD message," but disk utility shows everything is fine.

    Running mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13'' with OSX 10.7.5.
    So, like many who have tried to install the new update, mine says it cannot be installed due to a damaged Macintosh HD. Attempting to fix it through the Disk Utility available during the install allows me to Verify Disk. I get an error that it needs to be repaired, but the repair option is greyed out. Booting it into Recovery and using Disk Utility again shows a damaged disk, but this time I can repair it. It repairs and everything reads as fine; even verifying the disk again shows that the system is fine. This is where it gets screwy.
    Upon reboot, the Mavericks install wizard once more gives me the damaged HD message. It once more shows a damaged disk through the Maverick's screen Disk Utility. Booting it into recovery shows the damage again, is fixable again. Rinse, repeat.
    Booting into Safe Mode and running Disk Utility shows an undamaged Mac HD. It also allows me to access everything as normal (which is how I am on here now), albeit much more slowly. Additionally, my Boot Camp partition works just fine.
    I wouldn't mind abandoning the install, but the Mavericks install will not allow me to boot into my Mac HD because of some error. I also cannot avoid restarting into the Mavericks install wizard unless using Safe Mode. I attempted to delete the downloaded Mavericks "application" in the launch pad, but this does not affect my normal boot, and it appears again the next time I boot into Safe Mode.
    I don't know what's wrong with this, but I don't thing it's a hardware issue, because this only affects Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how to either 1) install Mavericks, or 2) banish this **** from whence it came so I can have my computer back? I've been trying to fix this for at least 9 hours, I'm starting to feel rather infuriated.
    The only option that I can think of at this point is to reformat and do a clean install of 10.9. Alternatively, maybe just keep 10.9 off my system because it seems to be a POS.

  • Launching Wizards in Oracle 11G on Linux install

    Hi,
    Just wondering if someone can tell me where the wizard launches are located in the Linux install.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Hans,
    I have heard them referred to in different ways,
    Configuration assistance, Wizards, etc. Say if I
    didnt want to create a database by command line. I
    wanted to walk through "Configuration Assistant" and
    choose defaults for the quick and easy setup. No worries. Using the correct terminology gets the right answer faster, and the wrong terminology simply means that we have to test and verify the question. Always works that way.
    One definition of professional is 'a person who knows the right name for the tools'. Based on that, I've known come amateurs who are much better than the pros.
    I would like to figure out where to launch the
    "Configuration Assistant" that might let me do that.
    I know in Windows environment, they are located right
    in the Oracle start menu. Actually, if you took a moments gander you might have noticed that the 'Start Menu' is nothing more than a set of shortcuts. There is literally no program 'In' the Start Menu.
    Right clicking on the Start Menu shortcut and looking at the properties would tell you the name of the Assistant and that it is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
    And the nice thing about Oracle is that the names are pretty much the same in Linux, Unix and Windows (and others as well) Due to historic silliness, Windows needs a .exe at the end of the file name, so in Windows it is netca.exe and in Linux it's netca ... and so on.

    Thanks for any help.Hope the above helps

  • Creative Cloud - Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application.

    I have purchased a year subscription to Creative Cloud. I am able to successfully download and open Creative Cloud and download an app. When I try to open the downloaded app, a message appears that says "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." Upon uninstalling AND reinstalling the app, the same message appears. It's not just one app in the Creative Cloud, it is ALL of them that this happens to.

  • Having trouble installing mavericks due to damaged disk

    having trouble installing mavericks due to damage disk. 

    Same here. I tried loading Mavericks on an early 2008 iMac. Apple Care says the failure is due to a bad hard drive. Even though I was not experienceing any problems prior to installing Mavericks. I’m skeptical. I must now take the iMac to Apple for repair.

  • "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."

    So I have been trying to contact chat support for the past hour and no answer. I spoke to them earlier about my Creative Cloud app having froze and they talked me through how to solve this issue. However, now when I try to open any of my downloaded apps such as Photoshop or InDesign, it gives me these messages:
    "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
    "Adobe Application Manager, required to run your product, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk."
    I have tried re-installing all the apps & downloading a new copy of adobe application manager, but still there's no change. I currently am working with an OS X 10.9.5
    Thanks!

    Natacha,
    The error message  "Adobe creative cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp" means that the installation of the Creative Cloud Application was not successful. I would recommend uninstalling the application, manually removing the folders mentioned below and trying  the installation procedure again.
    WINDOWS ::  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE & C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeApplicationManager .
    MAC : /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/OOBE & /Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/AdobeApplicationManager.
    Please let us know if this works for you.

  • "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application." What do I do?

    I have a full Creative Cloud account. Every time I open any application, I get the message: "Your application install seems to be damaged, Please reinstall the application."
    I have uninstalled all of the applications including the CC Manager, and reinstalled and the problem persists.
    One thing to note may be that I had another problem and someone at Adobe had me delete cache files and some other files. Not sure if that matters but thought I'd mention it. I never had this message before that. But before that, I could not download or update any files.
