11.3 and FTF1 boot device failed

Hi,
I upgraded the system from 11.2 to 11.3 and applied the last patch FRU1 11.3.0.37267 FTF Roll Up 1. 400 computers are waiting for deployment bundles on boot device and nothing is working anymore. Boot device installation always working normally. I found a couple thread about this bug on this Forum since March 2014, 11.3 have this problem.
Problem :
Boot device installation is not working and the agent gives me always "not installed" on each bundle.
1. system Windows 7, 64 bits and 32 bits
2. 11.3 without Patch and with Patch fru1
3. The Schedule time is working to deploy sofware
4. 11.2.2 and 11.2.3 always working for boot device bundles.
Some People opened SR and it's suppose to be fixed on fru1 but is not working

Oh and Shaun's issue is something a little different.
We have not gotten to the root of his issue yet, but something else is
going on.
At this point, there is not any confirmed issue with Boot Bundles.
An Official Service Request could get someone digging deeper.
However, my 1st course of order would be to simply a test environment.
Make sure a Device does not inherit any bundles - put it somewhere else.
Create a Simple Bundle that runs on boot that does something very simple
such as create a directory on the Root of C:
Then refresh to make sure the device sees it and then reboot.
I strongly suspect you may have an issue with one more of your bundles
that is in retry and holding everything up. You would not have seen
that in 11.2 due to the lack of ordering and haphazard execution of the
bundles.

F8 and F9 Boot Device Option doesn't work HP Elitebook 8470p

During the start up menu, when I press F8 or F9 it does not work and the system starts up normally. How do I make it so that F8 and F9 works? What do you think seems to be the problem? I've tried pressing the buttons once and also repeatedly and both instances the system starts normally. How do I make it so that I can get into safe mode by pressing F8 or F9 to boot device during start up without booting the hard drive?

Was the bios updated prior to this problem occuring?
Try clearing the cmos as follows.
With reference to Page 109 of your Maintenance & Service Guide remove the RTC battery. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Reinsert the RTC cell.
Can you access any menus at boot now?

Froze up and then boot device not found

Opened Up Sleekbook, Was Trying To Look At A page Already Open And Exit Out Of Another. Page Did Not Respond. Asked To Recover Webpage. Did Not Respond. Tried Ctrl,Alt,Delete...Nothing So HIt Power Button. Turned Back O. After 10Seconds. Black Screen Says Boot Device Not Found. What Do i Do?

Go into either F2 (UEFI diagnostics) or F10 (BIOS) as you power up and look for a hard drive diagnostic and run it. Best bet is your hard drive crashed and needs replacement. What kind of Sleekbook? We need that information to tell you how to proceed.

"Disk not found" and "No boot device found"

Please share any knowledge that may help in overcoming this problem. Installing Solaris 7 on Dell Precision 620, 933 Mhz, PIII. At the point where all systems seem about ready to go in completing interactive install, it comes back with "Disk not Found". A friend tried to help with his limited knowldeg from having loaded Solaris software before, but was unable to ascertain the problem. set_ environment command was not recognized. If its any help the boot path read: /pci@o,o/pci_ide@1f,1/ide@1/sd@o,o : boot args kernel/unix_-r
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
I have not faced this problem on solaris 7 however I did face a problem similar to this on Solaris 8. I made a small dos partition and made it active and then started the solaris 8 installation which then went through fine.
Hope that helps.

[solved] run program before network is available and stop boot on fail

Hi everyone,
Let's say I have an program that is absolutely essential to my system, and I want it to run before netctl even tries initialising my network connection (in fact, I want the network to be unavailable until the program has finished its execution). I _always_ want to see the program's output on the console, and if it exits with a non-zero exit code, I want the whole boot process to be aborted (or at least all of netctl's units to be disabled). Is this possible in systemd?

Sure.

Use 'Before=' in your unit file. Make sure it does not fork.
popoffka wrote:I _always_ want to see the program's output on the console,
Pipe it's output to /dev/console directly. Maybe there is a cleaner why, I'm not sure. SystemD actually supports the redirect directive in it's native language (nice).
popoffka wrote:and if it exits with a non-zero exit code, I want the whole boot process to be aborted (or at least all of netctl's units to be disabled)
Use 'RequiredBy=' in your unit file. That could be used to prevent netctl from starting. Preventing the whole boot isn't a bit drastic isn't it?

Yes. Consult the systemd.service and systemd.unit manpages.

My boot camp fail to install and at the same time i accidentally deleted Mac OS

while i was doing my boot camp i accidentally deleted Mac OS. and my boot camp fail to operate. when i restart it only appear window the window keep asking me to reboot due to some missing file.

What version of OS X did your MBP ship with? Do you have the original installation disc(s) or did it ship with Lion or Mountain Lion.
If it shipped with an installation disk, you're just going to have to boot from that disc and erase your drive and reinstall the version of OS X that came with your computer. If your computer shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, you're going to have to erase your drive and use Internet Recovery to install the OS that shipped with your computer (do this by holding down the Command, option and R keys on boot).
I hope that you have a backup?

"Reboot and select a proper boot device..." error on a p6214y

i have this problem where my computer boots and hangs at the HP blue screen mostly ... sometimes it wont and then go through to the "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key" message....
and sometimes if i leave the computer alone for weeks... it will boot into windows. and immediately go into slow response. then the process repeats from atop...
but then i connect my hard drive to another CPU, and it logs in fine ... so i know its not the HD...
i have taken out the battery, checked the cables .... is there something we dont know about this issue???

The Boot tab of the BIOS Setup shows the following typical items on the screen. (Your system might be different and not include all items):
Figure 8: Example of a Boot screen
Boot-time Diagnostic screen
Boot Device Priority (The order for the boot process. For example, removable devices, DVD optical drive, and hard disk drive).
I would recommend turning on the computer and immediately tapping F10. When Bios pulls up use your arrow keys to move right until you highlight the BOOT tab. Press enter. Scroll down and select boot device priority by pressing enter. Make sure the HDD is listed as the first boot device. Hope this helps!

Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)

Hello,
I tried to re-install de OS from windows 7 to windows 8.1 and when the bios update driever was installed and the laptop was restaring it appeared the folowing window and message:
Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)
After that i tried a lot of different ways to get to boot device select ...but i couldn't do anything. I removed the HDD and i put it back, i've tried with holding in the same time windows +B and pressing the power button in the same time for 1..2 seconds and then i've waited for at least 1 minute..and it didn't appeared anything on the screen. I've done the hard drive check and it passed. The weirdest thing is that when i want to select a boot device to re-install again the OS, i can't see any boot device to select. I need to mention that i've formatted the HDD in another computer. I dont care about the informations from the HDD beacause i saved all the informations on another device storage.
Please help me repair this problem!!! thanks a lot!
Have a nice evening.!!!

Whenever you get a message stating that the boot device not found it could be because of bad sectors on the Hard Drive. Its not necessary that the Hard Drive Test should fail to determine if the Hard Drive if its faulty or not. Sometimes even if the Hard Drive Test passes the Hard Drive will still not work because of the bad sectors in it.
Best way to find out if its the Hard Drive you can try the Hard Deive on a different Notebook which would help you determine if it's faulty or not.
Could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

My Pavilion dv7-3165dx recently had a total HDD failure, first I tried to order an OEM replacement HDD from the HP parts sales phone line, but they only offered a smaller HDD as their listed replacement for my laptop. I finally got them to inform me that the tech support line might be able to sell me the OEM HDD. On calling the tech support line I was able to order the correct HDD, and it came with a set of recovery DVDs to install Win 7, and the other OEM partitions on my new HDD. This being the case if your HDD has failed you may want to call the tech support line to find out if they have an OEM HDD, and the recovery DVDs to go with your machine.

HP Pavilion g6-2330dx. "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key" Memory test failed

Hi. So I am trying to help a friend with her laptop. It's a HP Pavilion g6-2330dx.
Product #: D1C01UA#ABA
Serial #: [Personal Information Removed]
Windows 8
ADATA 4GB RAM
Toshiba 640GB HDD from the looks of it.
The laptop is unable to boot into Windows, so I suspect the hard drive. But I ran the hard drive test and it passed all the tests. The SMART test and both the short and long test. I ran the tests multiple times and it passed each time. I tried reseating the hard drive and still no go. I also removed the HDD and connected it to my desktop PC to see if it detects and it did. Ran the Windows 7 own HDD test and it passed.
Currently, there doesnt seem to be any operating system at all on the HDD. When I check, there is a C: drive of ~90GB partition that is ~90GB free, but inside there are Windows files/folders. There is also a D: drive Recovery partition that says ~26GB with only ~2GB free, but when I go inside there's only ~350MB worth of data.
So then I ran the memory test (in BIOS) and it failed immediately. I reseated the RAM module. I tried the other slot. It still failed. So is it safe to say the memory is the cause of this problem?
Pressing the F11 key that is supposed to take me to the System Recovery only leads me back to the black screen with "No Boot Device. Insert boot disk and press any key"
I even tried to install Windows 7 to see if it'll work. I was able to get the laptop to boot/read off the Windows 7. But when I click to install, it asks for a boot device driver or something like that.
My friend doesn't have the recovery disk either. I guess she lost it.
Anyway, is it as simple as replacing the memory or could it actually be the HDD (even though it passes)?
EDIT: This is what the System Log in BIOS says
0021           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
03F0           Time: 10/13/2014
The date was the first time I ran the tests. I havent received those numbers (error codes?) since.
EDIT: Just for kicks, I ran Memtest 2.11 just now (forgot I had the disc) and it immediately went red with thousands of errors, hah.

Hi bghs,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and information.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I understand that you were unable to boot into Windows, and you suspected the hard drive and tested it, but it passed both short and long test. With that being said and the fact that it also passed leads me to believe the hard drive is fine.
You tested the memory and it failed. You tried reseating and swapping slots but they still failed the test.
I would test each card individual with the memtest to determine if it is just one or both cards that have an issue.
When you installed it in another computer, you did see the recovery partition. Once the memory issue is resolved, if you are still unable to boot into Windows, I suggest you do a recovery with the minimized image.   Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8) to assist you with that process.
I hope this helps.

The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible, not the usual boot error though?? (0xc000000e)

Hey,
I need some help fast please. I recently booted up my gaming rig after swapping out a 7970 graphics card and upon system boot up, as the windows 7 logo appeared the system crashes and a BSOD appears for a split millisecond and I'm asked to start up repair windows
or start windows normally however when I click start up repair a black error screen appears with the following message and error: The boot selection failed because a device is inaccessible error state and an error code:0xc000000e. Now of fixed this before
multiple times except this instance nothing seems to work Ive tried the following:
- check for any unplugged or loose cables
- Re installed my ram
- Booted with on board graphics
- unplugged all usb devices and external devices with the exception of the keyboard and mouse
- Booted with system installation disc and attempted system repair several times only with the same outcome of wanting to restore from a previous system restoration point however it always fails
- changed the boot type to IDE which made the system boot furhter past the logo screen however it still crashes with the same error
- From the system installation disc I ran a chkdsk /f and no corruptions or bad sectors were found
However, I did run from the installation disc a "bcdedit" and my osdevice was unkown and my boot manager and boot loader were set to two different drives on being D: and the other being C:. So I re-linked all three back to the D: drive as the
windows installation disc says thats where Windows 7 is installed, although in the actual windows 7 My Computer its listed as C: drive which is weird? anyways after re-linking them using bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=D: and the other two commands
my recovery partition disappeared which was listed as C:, and now I can only see my local drive? That did not fix the error so I tried one last thing and ran another chkdsk D: /f /r which is taking for ages and I'm assuming my hard drive and its contents
are still intact ( thank god!!) because its taking so long and there are 612080 files to be processed!
I thought I might try and rebuild Master Boot Record?
I don't want to loose any of my data, well I hope I haven't lost any because I have over 150+ games and their saves :(
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :D
thanks guys!

Hi,
Repair the current OS using the Windows 2008 / 7 DVD:
Boot to the Windows DVD
Select Next > Repair your computer
Select Next > Command Prompt
Change directory (cd) to x:\Sources\recovery
then type Startrep.exe to launch a quick automated startup repair utility which corrects boot environment values. This step may require more than one attempt and should be repeated a couple of times if the first repair fails.
If step 3 fails, open the command prompt and type bcdedit This
will display the values for Windows Boot Manager.
Review the values for Device. Is it set to unknown, as shown below? If so, proceed to step 7.
At the command prompt, type the following commands (c: is the default system partition. If your original partition was another drive letter, this value can be set to that drive letter):
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {DEFAULT.EN_US} osdevice partition=c:
(press enter)
bcdedit
/set {BOOTMGR.EN_US} device partition=c:
(press enter)
Reboot the system after removing the OS disk.
Hope it helps,
Jan

Hard drive and system recovery question - "No boot device"

I replaced a 320Gb - 5400 rpm drive that failed with a 750Gb - 7200 rpm drive. Using the HP System Recovery disks to reload the OS, once it goes through the restoration process the mb doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive and I get the "No Boot device" message upon rebbot. Unfortunately, the BIOS is not the best and it won't allow me to see if it actually recognizes the new hdd, which I suspect it doesn't - even though the Recovery Manager seems to . Either that or I have a bad MB.
Sytem information - HP G71-340US
Processor - 2.20 GHz Intel Core2 Duo Processor T6600
BIOS - InsydeH20 3.5
So even though Recovery manager *appears* to be installing W7 just fine, but it's a no go when it's time to actually boot to it, what is the problem? Is this a mb issue or did I just buy the wrong hd?

Well, a few reboots later and it seems the issue is no longer the mb or the hd. W7 is having a tough time though, and am now working on the second system restore, this time from the recovery partition, to try and get it to load fully. When I reinstalled from the System Recovery DVD the second time through, I skipped installing the third (driver) disk and that appeared to help. Just wish I could get the OS to comply. Maybe the third time will be a charm?

I'm receiving error Boot Device Not Found and Hard disk not exist when I boot up my laptop

I'm receicing the error Boot Device Not Found when i power on my HP G60-235DX laptop. After following HP's recommended troubleshooting steps, I receive error Hard disk not exist. Hmmmm....that's a little concerning. My guess is I need a new hard drive? I have the 17 recovery disks I made when I setup this laptop, however I'm not sure if they will resolve this issue. Any suggestions?

One of 3 things has happened, listed from most likely to least likely
1. Hard drive has died, replace it with one of the same size or larger, then use the HP recovery discs to re-install windows.
2, The motherboard has serious problems. (Replace the notebook)
3. The hard drive cable that connects it to the motherboard has somehow failed, not very likely. (replace the cable)
Replace the hard drive with a new one and use your recovery discs to get Windows back on it.
Here is your service manual, will show you how to replace the hard drive
