Boot Camp Vista : boot with Numluck on ?

I'm running Windoze vista via Boot Camp for gaming purposes.
I have all the latest Boot Camp drivers loaded.
I noticed that the numeric keypad on the Mac keyboard is not activated (numlock off) after boot.
Is there a way I can force the numeric keypad on after boot without having to do it myself every time ?
Thx,
Tom.

I have not tried this myself using Vista but various threads on the web say this is also suppose to work with Vista.

Boot Camp Vista Sound Not Working

Hi, I am using Boot Camp 3.1 with drivers installed from
Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD & Apple Software Update.
I am booting to Windows Vista Home Premium on my
MacBook late '09 with upgraded 4gig ram, and Mac OS X 10.6.2.
However, my sound driver is not working on my Windows Vista,
the system tray icon shows a Red X on audio settings.
On Control Panel -> Device Manager, it shows a Yellow Exclaimation Mark
on sound driver Cirrus Logic CS4602 (AB 01).
I have tried reinstalling Realtek and Cirrus drivers from Mac OS X Install DVD,
and downloading the latest HD Audio Driver from realtek website,
but nothing works.
It was working fine a while ago until I installed many Boot Camp updates
and windows vista updates. I don't know what caused the problem.
Please help me.
Thanks in advanced.

I'm having the exact same problem!!! When is apple going to fix the drivers???!!!

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

Dv2941se hard disk no boot with error Err2Err3

On my dv2941se laptop with AMD 64 x2 TK-57,4096MB total Memory Bios versionF.26 Running Vista 64 bit home premium.
When I turn on to boot I get the HP screen with function keys and then goes to black screen with cursor in upper left corner. When boot with esc I get memory passed, System Bios shadowed, Videobios shadowed, ATAPI CD ROM: HL_DT_ST DVD RAM GSA-T2ON, Fixed disk 0 Samsung HM250JI, Mouse initialized, and then full black screen and Err2Err3 appears in upper left corner and that's as far as the show goes. Will not boot any further no matter how long it's on. Any key I touch will repeat this error. When I boot up with my backup CD to perform an image backup which has been done up to the point that I can't boot anymore shows on the hardware screen that my hard disk C: is full. The D: drive that has the rescue for Vista and the small X:sector for boot looks like the number of sectors has not changed. Since this is OEM Vista I have no way to access C; in order to do a file check, or reformat is out. I cannot copy my latest backup because all sectors are written and the backup bombs. Not that familiar with Vista, is there anything I can do from here? I have no idea what is on each of the included 17 "installation "disks or will the last link of emergency " restore to factory conditions" (last resort) even going to work or has my hard disk turned to toast? I was doing a Microsoft software update at the time that this happened. I am on landline so it takes hours to do an update and I just let it run overnight to load the upgrades if it is more than 5MB in size. Phone line will give me 1.96 KB/sec. Someone please let me know how deep a dilemma I am in and how to possibly dig myself free. Thanks in advance.

Intermittent sound on boot with Pavilion dv5

Windows Vista
Product number: NM597PA#ABG
Ever since I started connecting my notebook to a second monitor with HDMI I've encountered a problem where it will only boot with audio roughly one in three times. The problem persists even when I revert to the previous setup I had, and when I run the notebook without any peripherals at all. Putting the notebook into sleep mode will also instigate the problem.
Cheers.

Hi,
Can you try uninstall the audio driver and then re-install again?
I work for HP.

Boot with e-sata External HDD - K9N2 Diamond

Hello.
Installed Windows Vista Home Premium in one hdd, but want to put it in an external case and boot it from there. Does the K9N2 Diamond support boot with an external e-sata disk ? I know that with usb does, but e-sata can't fin out.

Windows will refuse to boot from it (Microsoft does not want you to have a removable HD
This is somewhat true for external USB Hard Drive. However, it has nothing to do with Microsoft not wanting you to do anything. If Windows is installed on a USB Hard Drive, the problem is that when you try to boot from it, Windows will put out a BSOD. The reason is that during the early boot phase, Windows will fire up the USB Drivers. When that happens, there is a change of parameters which will cause a short shut-down of USB Functionality. Ultimately, Windows will not find the USB Drive it has just booted from and tell you that the whole drive or certain data cannot be found. This can be overcome by modifying parts of the Installation Routine that handles the Installation of the USB Drivers during boot-up phase.
In any case, the problem is related to USB Drives only. As eSATA-Ports are hosted directly by the SATA Controller, the operating system will basically just treat it as a normal hard drive (Windows would also not know the difference, when you install an eSATA Bracket connected to one or more of the internal SATA Ports.)
Also, AHCI it basically only needed for HotPlug Support. As long as the hard drive stays connected to the system, it will be treated like a normal SATA Drive.
Quote
Microsoft does not want you to have a removable HD that you can carry all over the place and boot from
BTW: This will not work unless the different systems you want to use the installation with are the same or similar to the system configuration that Windows was installed on. A different video card and a differen chipset may render the installation pretty much useless. Also, when you change between a system that has AHCI Enabled for the SATA Controller to a System running in SATA/IDE Mode ---> and then back to an AHCI System, there is a high chance that the installation will not properly adapt to the hardware change and mess itself up trying to adapt to the situation in terms of driver intialization. You may run into to numerous BSODs.

P35 Neo ram problems. Does not boot with 4 sticks

Greetings!
This thread is little related to: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110095.0
Okey so I bought this rig last friday(will post specs later). 4x 1gb ram sticks, shows up as 3.3gb. Was gona install 64-bit Vista today, but got some problems.
I left my computer on during night just to check if it runs fine. I wake up around 6am, turn power on to my monitor. Screensaver, move mouse, desktop and BOOM: Bluescreen(something about memory). Ok so I shutdown my comp, try to reboot got no signal. Removed 2 ram sticks(A2,B2) and yey it works. I plug them back in and again nothing. I test them 1 by 1 on both of the free slots, no problems detected.
Why won't my P35 Neo boot with 4 gigs of ram? And why did it work for 2days? :P
My guess is that the bios is still not ready yet(using 1.2v).
Specs: OCZ 700W GameXStream, P35 Neo-FI, C2D E6750, 4X PQI 1024Mb DDR800Mhz, Leadtek 8800 Gtx

If I understand correctly, you are saying that you can install Vista and XP to the system but not able to boot into the OS'es when you have 4GB of RAMs installed?
I would recommend you to test the RAMs with Memtest86.
Yes, I could install Vista and XP just fine. Also at first I could boot them with 4gigs just fine. Now my system won't POST with 4 gigs.
I've tested each one of the ram sticks and they are error free.

K9N2 Platinum won't boot with 8800gts

Processor: Athlon X2 4200+ (old) / Athlon X4 635 (new)
Board: K9N2 SLI Platinum
Memory: 4x1GB GSkill
Power: OCZ700SXS 700w
OS: Vista SP2
Drives: 3x620GB WD in RAID 5
Other: 2xLite-On DVDRW
Video: 8800gts 640MB
Everything else has been taken out to test.
The rig worked fine for over a year with the original 4200+. Fired it up one day and got no POST and LEDs 4/6/8/10 were red. Took everything out and after testing I found that it booted with everything but the 8800gts. Seems like the 8800gts is bad but the LED code indicates a processor problem as per the manual. I picked up the Athlon X4 635 for a steal, updated BIOS and installed that chip. Everything works fine but I still have the same problem if the 8800gts is installed. I tested it with a different power supply with the same results. I don't have another PCI-E card or motherboard to do further testing.
Everything points to the 8800gts being bad and I should just suck it up and pick up a new GTS250 or something but the LED code makes me wary. I'd really hate to go pick up a new vid card only to find it has the same issue and I'd love to hear if anybody has had a similar problem and found that the LEDs were just wrong in indicating a problem with the processor.
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback. I'll take any feedback on my GTS250 choice also though this might not be the appropriate place for it.

Thanks for the reply Mordred. That 8800 was a great card for me. I was always an ATI guy but the 8800 was at my sweet spot for price and performance when I put my box together so I gave nVidia a try and it worked out.
That makes perfect sense about why I'm getting this LED code. I think I was partially holding out hope that there was just something I was missing and that the 8800 was still OK.
I do IT for a living so I have tried to do as much in-depth research as possible. I game frequently but I'm not really the guy playing the games which are cutting edge graphically and while I like the games to look good, I'm not really unhappy about having to dial down the settings a little. What I'm hoping to do is squeeze the most I can out of my current rig and avoid having to make a large investment in a single VC until the DX12 cards get into their second generation, at which time I'll probably be in the position to build a whole new rig. I guess the decision I'm trying to make is whether a gts250 now and then another 6-8 months or so down the road will last me another year and a half or so until the DX12 cards get into a good price point. Maybe I'm not right on how long that will take?
I picked up the GSkill kits on the recommendation from the hive mind over at Overclocker.net because they were on sale (cheap to begin with) and people were getting some good results OC'ing them. I haven't had an issue with the GSkill kits yet thought I don't remember off-hand at this point where I finally have the timings set at.

Intel BadAxe2 won't boot with X-Fi Titanium Pro P

Just bought the X-Fi Titanium Pro PCIE board. My machine refuses to finish booting with it - it goes through POST, shows info on both RAID arrays, then instead of screening the Windows (Vista 64) boot manager, it stops with?a single flashing cursor in the top left corner of the monitor.
Configuration is E6700, 4GB Ram, Sapphire X950 Pro Ultimate PCIE video card. Until I tried to install the SB card it was fine. If I remove the card it is fine. I've tried the two (6X) slots I have available - sakme result.
Any ideas? Or do I try to return the card (doubt if my supplier will take it back, I'll need an RMA from Creative) and look for someone else's? I'd prefer to find a solution for this one, but I've updated the BIOS and pretty much run out of ideas ....

Well, after doing almost everything I could think of, I was reading the Intel forums and found that users were seeing similar problems with LAN connections when the sound was disabled in the BIOS. The Creative installation instructions had said to turn the sound off. When I turned it back on, the boot continued through and I was able to complete the installation with no further problems at all. And the sound is awesome!

i have now a question , what happens if i boot with win 8.1 boot able DVD and install a new windows ?
the main questions are :
1. does it recognize any of my partition to select for windows installation ?
2. if no , can i format any partition for new partition during windows installation?
3. if i could install a windows , who is the boot loader ? windows or mac ? can i still boot to windows or what ?

Give your previous partition layout, you cannot install Windows via Bootcamp, unless you are willing to give up all your extra partitions and go back to EFI, OS X and RecoveryHD only configuration.

1. Windows installer will not work and you will end up with driver issues.
2. No.
3. You cannot, but if you could, the Apple Bootmanager would be your Boot Manager/Loader.

K8N Neo fails to boot with more than one DIMM

I have been searching the forums for a while now, and will continue, but I am really hoping for a quick resolution. My system was running fine for over a year with a pair of PC3200 512MB DIMMs. I normally leave my computer on all the time. Recently I updated my BIOS to 2.10, and the system performed a soft boot afterwards. Christmas Eve day I knew I was going to be gone the whole day and probably not need my computer until late on Christmas day. I received a very unpleasant surprise.
I attempted to boot the computer up, and I got nothing but a repeating single long beep. I did a lot of troubleshooting and discovered that the system will boot and run fine with ONE DIMM, either DIMM. My system will no longer boot with a second DIMM in either the 2 or 3 DIMM slots. This is a major bummer for me, please help.
I have not played around much with memory timings and such as of yet. It is quite a pain to put in a single DIMM, and boot the system to make a BIOS change then shut it down again and install the second DIMM to see if it works.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Go back to your previous BIOS.

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

Z68A-GD55 G3 -- how do you get it to boot with 4 DIMMs installed?

Howdy folks,
I am really hoping that someone here can enlighten me on this magical BIOS setting that allows you to boot this unit up with all 4 DIMM slots populated? I have scoured the dark corners of the interwebz trying to figure this out and it completely eludes me, I even read the manual cover to cover... all I can find is a couple posts where people have updated the bios or went into the bios and changed a setting allowing them to escape the reboot loop that I get with all four memory slots filled.... the unit boots just fine with two DIMMs installed and it doesn't matter which two... I found this on a post but nothing else:
"One more thing, it wouldn't boot with four RAM-sticks out of the box, but it worked fine to start with only 2 RAM-sticks and use F1 to change bios-settings. After doing it that it had no problem with 4 RAM-sticks."
Take from: Google search "Z68A-GD55 megathread" since I can't post external links, the author of the article is "the Squonk"
Any one encounter this before?
Thanks in advance,
TF
