Boot up error

Hi, I was busy updating my 4S to the latest version and the battery died before it was complete
Now when it starts it asks my country and then my  iCloud address but my original address no longer works now I cannot go further
I took it to the iDoctor store and they did a factory reset but to no avail
They say I need the original Icloud regitration address but it does not accept it
How do I reset the iCloud address, what address do I use to contact Apple to have them resetit for me?
I have all the original documentation from when I got the phone on contract from Vodacom to prove that it is not stolen.
It says on the screen that Find my phone was used on it previously, which I did, and won't let me continue
Thanks
John

  • R61 R&R won't start after "unmountable boot volume" error

    Hello all,
    New user, first post - after problem, of course.
    I have an R61 Thinkpad with Windows XP on it.  (SP2 or SP3, not sure).  Has worked flawlessly for years, then the other day I got the dreaded "unmountable boot volume" error and it would not start.
    No problem - I re-start, hit the ThinkVantage button, then hit F11 to use the R&R hidden on a separate partition of the hard drive........I get the black screen with the big progress bar, ok, then a blue screen......then nothing.  Hangs up and sits there.  I have repeated this about 5 times now.
    No problem! - I was smart enough to make an R&R CD set a while ago!  Put the primary R&R disk in the CD drive, start the machine, ThinkPad button, F12 this time to choose boot from CD.....much CD activity ensues and I once again get the black screen with the big progress bar.  It takes much longer, and I get teh blue screen - BUT - then it goes one extra step to display the "ThinkVantage Rescue & Recovery 4" screen with the life preserver image.
    Excellent, I thing - except it then hangs there.  Just sits there.  No disk activity.  No keys will do anything.
    I can find no threads here or on any other forum with this particular issue.
    Am I fubar?  Or is there something else I can do?
    Thanks a bunch.
    Solved!

    Hi jim, welcome to the forums,
    Is the hard drive recognised in BIOS, was there an entry in the boot list against HDD0?
    Regardless of it being shown in BIOS / boot list or not, the first thing I would do is to reseat the hard drive and see if that helps, maybe over time it's lost contact to the mainboard socket. If you don't know how to do this you can find out at the R61 movies site.
    The next thing I would do is run a hard drive diagnosis check from a bootable cd, these can be downloaded from all HDD manufacturer's websites e.g. Hitachi's Drive Fitness Test.  It may be that the drive has simply gone bad after all those years of work.
    Let us know how you get on

  • Unmountabl​e Boot Volume error in Z61T

    Hi Members,
    I just encountered the the Error Unmountable Boot volume error(Blue Screen)  in my Z61T Think pad laptop. 
    I'm not sure what caused this error. Is it possible to fix the error?
    I tried to go in to Recovery Console using XP CD and then repair the OS, but unfortunately when i go to repair mode i get another error which says unable to recognize the hard drive. Im really confused as of what is the exact problem with my laptop and also im worried about that data.
    appreciate if anyone can throw some light in to the issue and help me out in fixing the same.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    If you believe that your hard disk/file system may be corrupted, try using any bootable diagnostic cd.They are operating system independent and will let you know if your HDD is getting corrupted.
    Try the data life guard diagnostics(bootable).
    Cheers and regards,

  • Hp mini 110 boot disk error after installing new hard drive and system recovery

    Need help,  HP mini 110 Windows 7 32 bit.  using my recovery disks I created i was able to recover to the old 160 gb hard drive.  After I installed new 320 Gig drive and used my recovery disks i now get boot disk error. Looks like system was installed on new drive. but will not boot to complete set up.

    If you use the recovery disk, your machine will restore to its default factory state. Try to reinstall the 320 GB you have if you want it to get back.

  • No Bootable Device - Insert Boot Disk Error...

    Ok so today I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on my 750GB Toshiba HDD in my Optibay and was installed successfully, installed all the Drivers from Windows Support flash drive and when I try to reboot into Windows 7 I get the "No Bootable Device - Insert Boot Disk Error" everytime!! lol What the heck is going on here??

    When I click the icon in bootcamp to install windows, after a bit of activity the Windows installation disc was spit put, the screen goes black and the error "No Bootable Device Insert Book Disk Press Any Key to Continue" appears on the screen. And nothing else but using the OSX installation disc helps.
    I realised that the windows installation disc did not even spin up.
    So what I did... I went back to OSX, reinserted windows installation disc, went to system preferences, selected the windows cd as a start up disc and locked it against the changes.
    After that I went back to bootcamp and clicked gain to install windows. Everything worked fine now.
    I just tried this and it didn't work for me. I keep getting a black screen with a cursor flashing in the upper left hand corner.

  • All Windows I Install return boot\bcd error

    Have a l645d-s4040.
    Im Lost now.. I've read many threads similar to my problem, or exactly like my problem. Ive tried it all, and done at least 12 Different installs. heres the info:
    Bought it brand new, was unaware of making the restoration disks until it was too late.
    I had a virus, so I did "clean all" in diskpart, at the cmd prompt. So i can start fresh. I have a retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, which was the original OS. went through the installation process fine, until the reboot where its supposed to go through the second step of the installation. on reboot i get a "bcd\boot" error. Ive tried repairing the MBR, the Boot record, ive tried using align=1024, ive tried using paragon, and acronis to fix the boot record. Ive tried using boot managers. Ive tried installing windows vista, ive tried windows 7 ultimate 64 and 32 bit versions.. the only OS i can get to install is XP.. Im at a loss
    of course of done : Startup Repair (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/681-startup-repair.html)
    So after the first step of of installation, which goes fine then reboots to continue the installation i get:
    Windows Boot Manager
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
    2. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next.”
    3. Click “Repair your computer.”
    If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
    File: \Boot\BCD
    Status: 0xc000000f
    Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configurations data.
    Enter= Continue ESC=Exit
    so i reboot with the install cd. which i downloaded from www.mydigitallife.info/windows-7-iso-x86-and-x64-official-direct- download-links-ultimate-professional-and-home-premium/.
    And ran the startup repair, first time no OS found and failed to save startup options.  rebooted and this time the repair worked and it booted fine running the 2nd step of the installation process.. on the reboot i got same boot\bcd error.. so i repeated the repair steps above.. it finally booted and finalized the installation.. i got to the desktop fine and installed all my drivers.  when i rebooted i got the same error.
    WHATS UP WITH THIS???

    I would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, which you can obtain from Toshiba.

  • Pavillion Boot Disk Error

    My son's Pavilion g6 has two users, his and mine.  When I log in as mine, the computer seems to work fine, in and out of Safe Mode.  When I log in as his user, I get the blue screen data dump, then a boot disk error.  Here is what I have tried:
    Restore on my user
    Windows security scan (which didn't finish before shutting down)
    Booting with Safe Mode on his user (didn't work)
    Took out the hard disk, sprayed with compressed air and reinserted the hard drive
    What options do I have?  Can I delete his user?  Could it be a virus?  I am stumped.
    I can get to all of his files but I can't stay logged on with his user.
    Thanks.

    Yes you can delete his user account and create a new one. Just be sure to copy his files if he has stuff he doesn't want to lose. Restart the machine before trying o create a new user account for him.

  • MacBook Air will not boot. Error Message says "Your Computer restarted because of a problem."

    MacBook Air will not boot. Error Message says "Your Computer restarted because of a problem."

    If you can't start up and log in in the usual way, try in safe mode.
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Log in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. If you have only one account, you are the administrator.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode.
    If you're able to log in, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume error message appears

    Hi.
    On monday I bought Norton Internet Security 2007 and tried to install it. I was reading a word document while I was installing it. I received an error message and was asked to restart Windows XP.
    When I tried to restart Windows XP. I received a message telling me there was an error that caused Windows to shut down. The message ask me to choose between:
    1.safe mode
    2.safe mode with command prompt
    3.last know good configuration
    4.start windows normally.
    I choose "start windows normally"
    MS Windows XP started normally for a few seconds then instead of my normally log on page I received a blue screen with this message:
    "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
    if this is the first time you have seen this error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select start up options, and then select safe mode.
    Technical information:
    STOP: 0x00000ED (0x80E(1E30, 0xC000031, 0X000000000) "
    And the then my computer shut down and then restart in the same sequence.
    IT keep repeating the sequence: error message safe mode ect ect then blue screen, shut down and restart. Again and mo matter which mode I choose. I went on online(from a borrowed computer) to research what is going on with my notebook and I still have the problem. They told me I must uninstall the software that caused the problem. My question is have can I uninstall the software when I can't reach Window's log on and hence the control panel?
    I'm at my wits end. Please help.

    Hi
    I dont know why but it seems that your master boot sector is damage
    You could try to access the repair console (boot from original windows CD and then press R)
    Then try to use this command: chkdsk /p
    This command should repair some sectors on the HDD. Maybe it helps.
    If not then you should format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS again!

  • P55gd80 no longer boots FF error

    Hey guys I just built my first computer. However, I had a bad stick of RAM which caused lots of BSOD errors so I RMAed them. It ran fine with one stick of RAM however, I had to RMA both sticks cuz OCZ wanted both sticks back. Now a month later, I reinserted the new set of RAM and the motherboard refuses to post. Giving me FF on the lcd and 8 on the CPU.
    Steps tried:
    1. Reset the CMOS with power cord out.
    2. Reset the CPU
    3. Tried booting with one stick of ram in the first black slot.
    4. Tried booting on non conductive surface.
    I don't know whats wrong. You guys think the motherboard just died in the weeks in between? The sticks of ram are good it boots up in a friends computer with no errors.

  • Help!!! T61 Blue Screen--unmountable boot volume-- error code 0000: Read verification failed

    My computer is T61 (8891CT), but Blue Screen came out and reported--unmountable boot volume.  I ran the diagnostic program and got the error code 0000: Read verification failed. I can’t run anything now including the restore and rescue.  Has the hard drive died?
    If the hard drive has died, I have to change the hard drive, but how to transfer the system (I don’t have any CD) and think vantage software? Thank you very much for you help.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume error

    After installing windows on my mac ive tried toget into it again but a blue error screen appears with UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME. I cant seem to switch back to mac as i didnt have the latests service package i needed to install it anyway so i turned off nmy computer to see if i could switch back to mac but i cant and that error just comes up for windows. Any clues on how to fix the problem?

    I am having similar issues, but I'm still working on the main reason for the problem. We are trying to install Windows XP from our network installation system using WinPE.
    If I format the drive as GUID partition table XP crashes with the UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME error...pretty much sounds like the installer doesn't understand GUID even though it is an XP Professional Service Pack 2 install base.
    If I format the drive as an MBR partition table XP will load fine, but then I have the issues where the OS and OS chooser screen don't see the Windows partition as a bootable partition, and then I have to use rEFIt to boot into Windows.
    If I install Windows XP from the same CD that I created the network install source files from the OS will load just fine on a GUID partition table.
    So I, too, am having this same problem, but I'm trying to figure out what's different between the source CD and how the network install tools for unattended deployment change it.
    You are using an install CD that is Windows XP with Service Pack 2, correct?

  • Unmountable boot volume error blue screen

    I have a toshibia laptop that has crashed, I am eventually getting the unmountable_boot_volume error blue screen, the recovery disks that i ordered will not work, just disk 1 loads windows file then goes to a black screen with the cursor pointer, computer repair does the same thing, os is windows 7 satellite c655d-s5120 64 bit the bios does show the hard drive name and the boot log is showing the last driver loaded is windows/system 32/drivers/atipcie.sys, can I order a recovery for the windows 7 or is there any other ideas to fix this?not sure why this is happening

    If you've already ordered a set of recovery discs, you probably don't need to order another one. While it's possible that the discs are bad (and maybe you should call customer support just to see what they say), it's also possible that you have a hardware failure of some sort.

  • PB Titanium freezes on boot; Volume error

    Erratic behavior followed a "force quit" on Palm Desktop. On reboot error message while attempting to open Palm Desktop, "...unexpected end of file." Corrected that with backed up file but then erratic behaviors involving freezes during and after reboot began. Freezes can only resolved by shutting down and restarting. Sometimes video screen dark with portions of boot up screen visible. Unable to replicate behaviors, results too erratic. Ran TechTools boot disk, initially hardware and file tests "passed". Then a force quit on Geditcom (normally very stable!), returned the behaviors involving freezes. Reset PMU, Reran Disk First Aid and Tech Tool unable to repair. produced this error message, "Missing thread record (id = 4407162) Error the underlying on ent (-9972) Repair attempted 1 volume could not be repaired. Resore disk only seem to allow erasing the volume not restoring OSX (10.3.9). Changed the start up disk to a "PB Clone" (with systemfiles) on on a firewire external hard drive. Chime sounds, screen lights, apple appears, pinwheel does not, screen goes dark nothing faintly visible. CTRLCOMMANDPower Button restarts the same sequence and results.
    Anxious not to destroy the data files unless I have to. Suspect that there the current state may perhaps be hardware despite the "passed" Tech Tool tests, perhaps video and/or keyboard although like problems had ocurred with USB keyboard and external display during earlier troubleshooting.
    Don't understand why my firewire external Powerbook will not start up. The Apple Restore Disk and Tech Tool boot disk work although the video light up has some idiosyncracies?
    Is it likely that I can put it in "firewire mode (Target Disc)" and access the files on its HD?
    Sure could use some theories or solutions.

    Hi tirediron,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Is it likely that I can put it in "firewire mode (Target Disc)" and access the files on its HD?
    I don't know what the odds are, but if you have access to another FW Mac, there's no reason not to try; it'll only cost you $10-15 for a FW cable (if you don't have one) and a minute or two of your time to find out.

  • Boot drive error message

    Following a near disaster after installing security update 2005-009 i have 2 problems ( or maybe only 1)
    When i do a verify on my boot drive i get the message from disk utility, INCORRECT NUMBER OF THREAD RECORDS, volume needs repair but it cannot fix it.
    Any suggestions.
    Second after I managed to get my boot drive running again following many kernel panics I now have a folder called damaged files, can I discard this as it seems to mirror my HD

    Hi, Paul and Allan, et.al —
    Paul — Fwiw, I agree with Allan about your apparent options.
    When you launched Disk Utility from your Install Disc as part of running Disk First Aid, did you notice the S.M.A.R.T. status of your HD?
    Before saying another word — have you tried to access and save any data that may not have been included in your last backup? Using FireWire Target Disk Mode from another (or borrowed) Mac might be a means to accomplish this...
    I'm not familiar with the specific "incorrect number of thread records" error message you received — so everything below should be considered conjectural or based on the perspective of the references cited. Each file and folder (directory) in an HFS+ file system must have a unique thread record. Apple describes the technical details in technical note TN1150: HFS+ Volume Format and the File Manager Reference. On a more layperson's level — paraphrasing and quoting from this source and its linked refs. — on an HFS+ formatted volume, a Catalog file contains records for all the files and directories stored in the volume. File thread records and directory thread records are two of four types of records contained in the catalog file. A file thread record stores just the name of the file and the Catalog Node ID (CNID) of its parent directory; similarly, a directory thread record stores its name and the CNID of its parent directory. The other two records are file records and directory records that "store a variety of metadata — including CNID, size, time-stamps, the first file extents of the data and resource forks, and pointers to the file's first data and resource extent records in the Extent Overflow File."
    My point in considering this is that an incorrect number of thread records suggests that the catalog file can't do its job properly in helping you to access your files and directories. As Allan concluded, this sounds like a potentially significant disk directory problem. Although the terminology differs, a MicroMat (makers of TechTool) tech addresses a TechTool "file thread mismatch (-92) error" message in this MacFixIt forum thread. Several users report their experiences. If the Disk Utility "incorrect number" and TechTool "thread mismatch" messages are comparable... the MicroMat tech's comment that "Unfortunately, the file thread mismatch is an uncommon disk directory error, and it is not possible to know whether the ultimate cause is software or hardware" may be relevant.
    I hope that you follow Allan's advice — and that DiskWarrior 3.0.3, TechTool Pro 4.0.6, or ProSoft's DriveGenius 1.1.5 is able to repair the problem — or that you're in a position to perform an Erase & Install. Please keep us apprised of your progress, so others may learn from your experience.
    Good luck!
    Dean
