Can't recall which I used to do the dynamic repartitioning.
I'm betting that it was originally Partitioned with Snow Leopard.
As a test I just added a second Partition with Mountain Lion to a FireWire HD and it would not let me Install Snow Leopard from my System or Retail Disc into the Partition.

When Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash (-) stuck.

when Mac reboots to Install XP black Screen Flashing Dash and I think its the press any key screen but on a Mac its Just Flashing Dash .
I press every button going and nothing happens.
and my only option is to turn off the mac to boot back in OSX.
MacBook trying to Install Windows XPSP3 disk.

I too am having the same problem. I do not know about the host of this thread, but I have been using a brick and mortar version of XP SP2 stand alone so it is not bundled with a computer like Dell, HP, etc.
I have run it before just fine but it was time to reformat the drive, 0'd everything out, reinstalled 10.5.2, upgraded everything, repaired permissions and them ran Boot Camp. Put in the XP disc and all I get is the flashing dash mark in the upper left hand corner. I actually have 2 legal versions of XP SP2 stand alone and the same result on both discs so it has to be something with the partioning? I also redid the partitioning at various sizes all with the same effect. No luck.
Any new thoughts anyone?

IPhone 4s on screened Window Sill on rainy night - BLACK SCREEN, FLASH ON, VIBRATING, how do I revive?

Lastnight I left my Iphone 4s CHARGING on a screened window sill.
I wokeup at 8:30 and checked my phone to see that it was completely fine; went back to sleep until 10:30 and woke up to a black screen, flash on, and the phone frequently and randomly vibrating.The phone was not overly drenched. Only a couple raindrops on it, and around it.
I immediately stuck it in a bag of rice.
I need solutions! Any help is appreciated!
How long should I keep it in the bag of rice?
Is there a way to turn off my phone with a black screen?
Thank you for your help!

Just wind it by dryer and then don't try to switch it off because any electrical interchange cause damage. and then put it in a rise bucket. and in few hours it shuld be fine.. or take it to apple store if you are still in Warranty...

Black screen flashes before opening gmail

Hi, recently I updated to Firefox 4.0. Since then, every time I visit gmail.com a black screen appears. After a split second it disappears again and the usual gmail log in screen shows up. Why is that and how can I get rid of that black screen flashing before gmail loads? Has it something to do with the ad-ons adblock, flashblock and noscript I installed? They never caused any trouble in Firefox 3.x

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Any further options for fixing a network extender with flashing red sys light?

I've been using my network extender without any problem for a few years. Well, except it always had stopped working on occasion (maybe every 6 months) and I would have to toggle it back and forth between open access and managed on the Verizon site to get it working. That was fine, but this time it's been stuck on a slowly flashing red sys light. The power, gps, and wan lights are all solid blue. Eventually it will seem to start over with the cycle of leds but end up again at all blue except a slow flashing red sys light.
That was months ago and I've been struggling with it ever since with no luck. I tried calling support a couple of times but could never navigate through to any appropriate option for network extenders. Both times the automated system couldn't figure out what my issue was and hung up on me.
I tried power cycling my cable modem and router. I've tried the open/manage setting change on the My Verizon page for the extender. I've verified my router settings, though no equipment has been changed. I even tried assigning an IP to the network extender and configuring the correct ports for it (found a list of the port numbers somewhere else on this site). I've of course tried leaving it off for a bit.. 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 10 hours, and ultimately a month or so. Nothing makes a difference and I'm still stuck with a slow flashing red sys light. It's frustrating as I general manage only 1 signal bar even at best in the house or around the yard. It's hardly usable even though the Verizon coverage map shows solid coverage all over my house and neighborhood.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Did the network extender simply die? Is there any way to diagnose that for certain?

It is up and running again.
I just really wish they would have the courtesy to post on here, Facebook, Twitter, whatever, wherever, but to just let us know that there is a problem, they are aware of it, and are working to fix it.
For a communications company, so far I have not seen that they have any communication skills.

P.B.R. meaning it Powers on, goes to Black screen, then Red light flashes....?

ill tell you word for word what happen and see if you could help me out. i was listening to music one night with my phone on the charger, and fell asleep. when i woke up in the morning the hour glass would rotate, the screen would go black and a red light will flash. it would repeatedly do this. how do i fix this? or is there any fixing?

Your battery is dead.
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage).
If it doesn't boot--try using a wall outlet charger if you are not. If you are connected via USB to the PC, make certain that you have Desktop Manager (or the USB device drivers) installed, which you can download below.
Here are some good charging tips, please read and you'll see that many of them will apply to you.

Black screen and red light

not really sure what happened , when i checked a email the phone went back and the red charge light goes on and off. I have another torch that i can use , proplem is how do i get the information from this phone using the desk top software it will not link to the phone. If some one can help me get this one going or help me get the info from this one.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain a known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Like insurance, backups are neither a reactive nor optional activity...if you cannot get your BB running again, you cannot take a backup from it now. Only by performing regular proactive backup processes can one be protected from this type of situation.
Good luck and let us know!

8120 Pearl Black Screen, Slow Red Blinking LED. Data Recovery?

Hi,
I've been tearing my hair out for the last four or five hours (a drop in the ocean compared to some people with the similar problem I've read about), but I haven't given up hope of recovered my data - I'll happily condemn the phone if I could get just 5 minutes to copy the memo pad files and voice notes!
ANYWAY, here's the story:
My 8120 has been working fine. I checked it, put it back in my pocket. 2 minutes later, I took it out and got the slow flashing red light. I hadn't dont anything to it...no spilling, no knocking, no random button presses. Nothing.
So I tried to plug it into the charger - that did nothing. Same slow red LED flash and black screen. After 5 minutes I plugged it into my computer, first with the battery, then without. Exactly the same. My computer recognises it as plugged in when the light is on, and unplugged when the light is off - I've read this is common.
I download Blackberry Desktop Software. It kept giving me the message telling me to either hit retry or update every time the light came on. Retry did nothing, so UPDATE it was. This is where the interesting thing happens - it scans for software updates - this stops the phone flashing altogether and suggests I proceed with the update. I would do this, except when it suggests I back-up/encrypt the backup, these options are grayed out. My data is more important to me than the phone (I know, I'm an **bleep** for not backing up before, but what's not done is not done)
So, it appears if I do the update my phone will be wiped. Can anyone confirm this? Then I installed the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, and clicked on the add/remove apps. It did the same thing - seemd to recognise the phone and the LED went out. It told me how much space I had left on the internal memory - 22.2mb. I saw the internal memory is 32mb, so so long as the operating system isn't 10.2mb, it would mean my data is still on there?
SO for now I've decided to plug it into the wall and leave it for a few hours to see what happens. Can anyone think of anything else I can try? Is there any software or any other way I could rescue my Memopad and Voice Notes files? Sorry if this has been gone over again and again, but I don't know what else to do!
Many thanks,
Andy.

Hello andoak and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Usually, the black screen with the red LED blinking indicates there is a problem with the core software and it needs to be reloaded for functionality to resume.
If you are reloading the software and the options are grayed out to back up that usually indicates the data is not able to be backed up.
On a brighter side, if you saved your voice notes to your media card, they should still be there. As for the Memos, if you never backed up or synchronized with a desktop application, they are lost.
If you have email accounts set up, after the software reload completes, resend your service books as shown in KB15402 to resume email.
Hope this helps.

Satellite Pro L300 - Black screen flashing cursor

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 laptop running Vista.
The client brought it in because when it boots it goes to Toshiba splash screen then goes to black screen with flashing cursor in left top corner. I have connected external monitor with same result. Swapped out RAM as well.
Have run Memtest (passed), Seagate HDD long test (passed), Ultimate boot CD, and Winternals with no success.
*F8 does not work* and nor does Factory recovery.
Can get into BIOS F2 and F12 no problem and the HDD is listed there.
I reinstalled Vista from CD and when rebooted it goes back to flashing cursor. I have attempted Startup repair from Vista CD and System restore. FixBoot from Command Prompt and FixMbr as well with the same result.
I have a feeling it may be a corrupted CMOS? It is like the OS installs properly, but the computer loses it's memory on reboot of where the OS is located?
Is the CMOS battery easily accessible and removable on this model?
Has anyone encountered these symptoms? Is it fixable cheaply?

Hello
If you have clients I presume you are some technician and hope you have some hardware parts in your store.
Have you tried to set BIOS to default settings and check it again?
If possible try to exchange HDD and test the functionality again.
Can you use notebook with Linux live CD (HDD not needed)?
To be honest I dont think problem is BIOS and, in my opinion, CMOS battery exchange is not necessary.
Test it please with new HDD and post some feedback.

WORK AROUND: Black screen/flashing cursor trying to boot windows cd

This refers to the black screen with flashing underline cursor in the top left corner problem that happens after using bootcamp to setup your partition & then rebooting with the windows install CD in the driver. Install never starts, you just get this black screen with flashing cursor. seems to affect many different types of macs attempting to boot both XP & Vista.
I tried rebooting about 10 times. No luck. Same problem. Tried running disk verify/repair after removing partition, no luck. Remade boot camp partition, no luck.
Finally I pointed Parallels (free trial available) to my blank bootcamp partition and set parallels to boot from CD before HD. Parallels booted the Vista install CD just fine, and put Vista on my HD. Crashed at the end though and said it couldn't make the boot camp partition bootable so all changes were removed. Rebooted under boot camp and the installer came up fine off the CD. I'm now running vista (SP1 even) under bootcamp just fine. Parallels just lets you get past that boot-up bug.
So if you have this problem, and nobody else can help, and if you can find it, maybe you can download..... Parallels.
Feel free to post this on the other threads. Unlike other workarounds I'm guessing this will work for everyone and it only takes a free trial download of parallels to give it a try. Just remember to setup the virtual machine to use the bootcamp partition as the target drive, and then go under the edit virtual machine, then OPTIONS, then BOOT tab and set it to boot from cd before HD. Switch it back when you are done.
Then run boot camp assistant again and select the install OS option. Should run the installer correctly (thus overwriting anything parallels put on the partition).
I think VMWare Fusion also supports vitualization with the bootcamp partition as the target so that may help you get around this problem.

I have resolved this issue for four of our iMac computers with either of the following solutions. I realize that these solutions might seem awkward, but these solutions have been the only solutions that have successfully resolved this same issue for four different machines.
Solution 1
On the Mac OS partition, leave the Boot Camp partition that has yet to be configured.
Leave the Windows install disk in the optical drive.
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all cables.
Hold the power button for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Plug in all cables.
Turn the power on.
The computer will proceed to install Windows.
Solution 2 (If Solution 1 fails)
On the Mac OS partition, leave the Boot Camp partition that has yet to be configured.
Remove the Windows install disk from the optical drive.
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all cables.
Hold the power button for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Plug in all cables.
Turn the power on.
A black screen will appear prompting for a bootable disk.
Load the Windows install disk.
Shut down the computer by holding the power button.
Turn on the computer.
The computer will proceed to install Windows.

IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

Hi JKainer193,
Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
Thanks,

Sony Xperia M2 flashing Red LED light and wont turn on.

Okay so i have been having this problem for about a week.I tried turning on my phone the other day but it wasnt doing that so i thought maybe it ran out of battery then i let i charge for a couple of hours and left it untouched.When i came back my phone was flashing a red light and the sony logo would apear and my phone would vibrate but then it would shut down again.This has been happening for all week i let it charge overnight but still the same thing happens flashing red and vibrating.Sometimes the light dosent flash and i can turn my phone on for a while but i never know when it could randomly shut down.i tried using the Pc companion program to try and fix it but my phone wont stay on for long enough for it to be able to do that.Any tips on what i could do ? the last thing i wanna do right now is call sony so please if you know any possible way of fixing this let me know

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Have you tried to power on the phone without SIM- and/or SD-card to see if this can help? Otherwise, a software repair via PC Companion would be recommeded:
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/pc-companion/
In PC Companion you press start on Support Zone > Start on Update the phone/tablet software > Repair phone/tablet (the blue clickable link in the message) > Follow these steps without having your device connected to the PC.
Follow the instruction that appears in the program and do not connect your device until this guide tells you how to connect it. When you are going to connect the phone, the phone should be completely off. Hold the ON/OFF button + volume up(+) for 10 seconds.

When plugged into computer a song started skipping, pressed pause but ipod sounds makes a clicking sound. Eventually goes to black screen with red cross. Cannot reset it and doesn't register on my computer.

I had my iPod plugged into my computer and was playing the songs from there. One song started skipping so I pressed the pause button, the ipod kept making a clicking sound like it was still struggling to play the song, eventually went to a black screen with a red cross with apple.com/support/ipod underneath. Have tried to reset it but does not work, comes up with apple logo and immediately makes the clicking sound and then crashes.
Is there anyway I can get my music and photos off?? I just got a new computer and had lost everything on my old one so only have the songs and photos on my ipod, desperately want to get them on to my computer.

You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.
