Can't Boot Ubuntu LiveCd or Windows XP SP2 CD
I just got a replcament MacPro. My first defective Macpro had a defective Graphics Card but it did come with the Sony DVD Drives. My replacement MacPro came with the Pioneer DVD drives (but the Graphics card works).
My original Mac Pro could boot a Ubuntu LiveCd or Windows XP SP 2 CD (when I hold the C key at boot up time).
This replacment mac Pro will not. It tries to boot off the CD but after 30 seconds or so, it just spits out the Ubuntu LiveCD or Windows XP SP 2 CD. Then mac OS X boots up.
Any ideas? Why can't I boot off a Linux LiveCD or Windows XP SP 2 DVD?
Rob
I've just escaped Boot Camp ****. Went to Boot Camp and it didn't start up as it has for a year.
It jumped to checking the XP hard drive and would not recognize the keyboard. No input possible. Finally got to XP and it restarted all over again before I could select starting up with OS X. Went through this a dozen times or so before I was lucky enough to get out of it and start in OS X using an OS X install disk.
What keystrokes are used to bail out of Boot Camp when it fails and start up in OS X?
I'm afraid to try to fix XP in Boot Camp unless I know for sure, as I'm visiting my folks and haven't brought all my software disks with me.
If all else fails, can I wipe the Boot Camp partition and reload XP?
Or must I wipe the whole drive and reload everything?
Thanks be I have a new fireWire 1 TB coming, but am also waiting on an ordered FireWire cable to arrive.
Thanks

Can't connect to a PC (Windows XP SP2) from my MacBooc (OSX)
Hi!
Here are the details:
The PC
1. Windows XP SP2. SAV, Zone Alarm.
2. GUEST account disabled.
3. The Admin account (renamed) with a password
MacBook (Mac OS X)
All the settings are the standard ones. Nothing changed.
The PROBLEM
I cannot connect the PC (Win XP SP2) from my MacBook. I can perfectly use some ftp client; the MS Remote desktop, but if I try to connect the PC from (say) the finder (apple-K) I allways get the same "username or password is not correct" message, whatever I do... I never set a password for this connection. Nowhere!
Please, advise me how to connect the PC from my MacBook.
Thanks a lot!OK,
Now we have something to work with.
On the PC:
Determine Workgroup name:
RightClick MyComputer, LeftClick Properties. Look under ComputerName tab, make note of WorkGroup name.
On the mac:
Applications>Utilities>DirectoryAccess...Unlock, tick SMB/CIFS, then click Configure...
Enter the WorkGroupName that you got from the PC...in teh Workgroup box on Mac.
Apply, OK, or whatever...approve it all.
Restart both machines again. Sorry, it's a Windows habit.
(We're probably going to ask you to disable SAV, and make sure that ZoneAlarm has the local network as 'approved' or something. It's been three yrs since I used ZA)...does your SAV have a firewall, too? Bad idea to run two firewalls, but let's move along with that workgroup business up there. -
Dual Booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows on a RAID 1 setup
Hi,
I just bought a Lenovo W530 with Windows 7 and two 500GB hard drives in a RAID 1 setup, is there a way for me to install Linux with dual boot while maintaing my RAID 1 setup?
Thanks.Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
if you want both in a raid on two drives, there is no way simpler than using fakeraid.
Windows simply has only the fakeraid as a software raid and can't be run from a linux software raid. An Ubuntu 10.10 install to fakeraid is relatively simple but should not be undertaken without some understanding of what a raid install looks like or behaves.
As a starter, some simple rules have to be followed:
1) Install Win 7 first
2) If Win 7 occupies the whole raid drive, use Win 7 disk manager to shrink it to make room for Ubuntu.
3) Use gparted on a live cd to place all your unallocated space for installing Ubuntu into an extended partition. This will insure that you will not likely exceed the 4 primary partition limit and thus bar an Ubuntu install.
Once prepared as above you should be able to install Ubunto to the largest unallocated space, as long as the partitioner recognizes the raid (ie the win 7 partitions will show in gparted). You should plan to run the install from the live cd so that you have determined beforehand that 10.10 will run on your system.

Can't boot into OSX or Windows after installing boot camp
I used boot camp assistant
Clickced on the "32 gig" parititon size button... It did its magic, then asked for a Windows XP Disc.
I put the disc in, and the system rebooted.
Upon reboot, XP install began
Got to the hard drive part, and it said "install on C: 130 gig unpartitioned space" (my drive is 1 terabyte). I thought it was a little odd since I clicked "32gb" on boot camp assistant, but I went ahead.
XP Went through install, and rebooted. Upon reboot, it simply booted to the XP Install Disc again and wanted to go back through same install. I ejected XP Disc, rebooted, and nothing starts up now.
I put the Leopard install disc in... Booted. It says there are no places to install Leopard to. I open disk utility, and all I have right now are:
disk0s1 (811gb) (which should be my mac disc!)
disk0s2 (259.4gb) - ??? This doesn't make sense, the drive is only 1tb, so the 2 partitions combined shouldn't equal more then 1tb!) This could be my WD Passport drive, but this still shows even with that unplugged.
It says that it is not mounted, if I try to mount it i just get an error saying "Mount failed - try running disk first aid and then retry mounting".
Disk first AID won't let me run, the repair disk button is greyed out.
I don't know what to do at this point, does anyone have anything that might be of help?I've just escaped Boot Camp ****. Went to Boot Camp and it didn't start up as it has for a year.

I can't boot with usb in windows 7 for setup win8.1
please help me very fast...I have a iso file of win8.1 that i copied it in my usb disk.and i set the priority of boot in usb.but when i power on and select boot menu and then select usb...the windows 7 start normally.(my laptop:G500).what's the problem?
Hi,
How did you prep your flash drive? If you're booting in legacy (not UEFI) mode, it should be NTFS (for Win 7 anyway, haven't tested Win 8) with the active flag set. If you're booting in UEFI mode it should be FAT32.

thanks for your help.Unfortunately, that data does not help me in the least.
However, I would check that ALL languages match. With Adobe installations, you have the opportunity to choose the language for the installer, and then again for the installation of that program. You OS will have language, keyboard and then the Time/Place settings. I'd make sure that they all match, as many have had issues installing where there was a mismatch in the languages. Check everywhere, that they match.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS is this the download version, or the DVD version? Is this a trial, or a full-paid version? If former, where did you get the download, and if the latter, where did you get the file, or the DVD? -
Can't boot anything after deleting C partition in order to install Windows 8.1
I have a ASUS X55VD notebook, wich had a Windows 7 64-bit (and a dual booted Ubuntu, but with Windows bootloader). Yesterday I tried to install a Windows 8.1, so I inserted a disc and restarted.
The window to manually select the partition, on wich it will be installed, came up so I formated C partition where Windows 7 was installed. It did not allow me to install to that partition because, a new format (GPT) had to be used. So i chose to delete the
partition. Deleting was quite long, after wich the computer restated, and after that it only showed black screen.
The Windows DVD is still spinning, but nothing shows. Can't acces the BIOS (none of the keys work).
Tried:
- Hardware reset (battery out>hold power button fro 10-20 sec>put battery inside>start) - No change
- Put a Live Linux DVD to boot from it - No change
- Put a hirens boot cd - No change
- USB boot - No change
- Connect a external keyboard and tried accessing BIOS - Nothing happened
I would suffice with just gettng some of my data from him, and sending him to repair Can't tinker with harware, or it will void my varrancy
Please help. The problem is really urgent.Hi,
It seems a hardware issue, you can first try to reset the CMOS - remove the cell battery from the motherboard for at least half hour, re-insert it, boot up. The BIOS settings should be reset to defaults. But for better solution, I
suggest you contact the manufacture.

Can't boot to windows, stuck at black screen (with cursor)
Hi! I'll get straight to my problem: I can't boot to Windows (Windows 10 Technical Preview) anymore after installing VirtualBox (or rather, an Android emulator that installed VirtualBox) on my system. I get stuck, after the loading animation with the blue HP logo, on a black screen (I can move my cursor around) but the login screen never shows up.
The problem.
I'm currently dual-booting linux and windows for several purposes. My laptop came with a Windows 8.1 OS by default. Some time after the Windows 10 Tech Preview came out to public, I upgraded my system to Windows 10 (so my 8.1 is gone now). Everything's going well until I installed this Android emulator (which installed VirtualBox) on Windows 10. Everything seemed fine at first but after rebooting, Windows isn't working anymore. I can still boot to linux, but Windows just won't boot properly.
What I've tried.
I've tried A LOT of things. The problem actually happened twice already (at first I was able to fix it with System Restore but not this time around). I have a Windows 8 USB Recovery Drive at hand, just so I can access a Windows command line. It's not from my system, though. It came with a new windows 8 laptop of a friend so I just borrowed it.
1: System Restore. This worked the first time. But now the restore won't finish and throws an error, telling me that it can't restore my system.
2: Refresh PC. "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made." or something like that.
3: chkdsk on C:\. It says it changed some files, but it doesn't really fix the problem.
4: sfc /scannow. Again, something happened, but it didn't get fixed.
5: bootrec.exe to fix BCD and MBR. Doesn't work. (as far as I know my sytem is using GPT)
6: Hard reset (remove all power sources then hold power button). Still not working.
7: System Restore again. All the restore points aren't working. It reaches a "Finished" state, but then an error comes up after. It says can't extract a specific file, and the restore point is damaged or might have been deleted during restore.
8: checking and fixing bad sectors (nope, no bad sectors on my hard drive)
9: built-in component tests. It passed all of them, except the battery test (my battery really isn't surviving for any duration longer than 30 minutes, but that shouldn't affect my OS). I didn't try the really long tests since I thought it wouldn't matter as my problem is most probably completely software (since linux is still working).
10: cry. oh please. Windows isn't working. What should I do? (
Things I haven't tried.
1: RAM and CMOS battery reset.
2: Reset PC.
3: Format hard drive.
4: Test hard drive on another laptop's system.
If possible I'd like to avoid getting my hard drive wiped, since I have a lot of stuff to backup (more than 300 GB of files + dozens of linux apps and ppas), and I only have a 32GB USB drive to backup all the files I need).
Thanks for reading.Sorry for the delay. Wasn't expecting the "road work" signs when attempting to check back with you in the AM here.
As others have already mentioned, the prompt for file systems occurs during text mode setup. Quick or Full? FAT or NTFS? How do you know what to do?
We'll start with file systems, short and sweet. Most any OS can read and write FAT volumes without fail which makes FAT ultra-portable, and the only choice if you want to let Mac OS write documents on your Windows volume. It's also more efficient on drives of 16 GB or less. However, FAT has no folder-level access control, so any file in the system can be manipulated by any user or by any system process. By contrast, NTFS is far more restrictive. It can only be manipulated under Windows, though other systems may be able to read it. Not only do you get the access control that FAT lacks, but you also get superior efficiency on large volumes, plus the power to compress or encrypt folders and files at will (in "business" flavors of Windows only--and yes, Vista Ultimate counts as "business" even though it will be supported much like a "consumer" version).
On format speeds: A quick format is very handy if you have a large partition or a single drive completely dedicated to Windows. Because it completes in 30 seconds or less, it will go a long way toward completing your Windows install. However, in some cases, volumes formatted with a quick format may have reliability issues. They must have fixed this in Vista, because Vista can only format at the "quick" speed.
A full format tests all blocks of a given volume (as opposed to testing an entire disk unless the volume itself is the entire disk) as the file system structure is laid down. Bad blocks are marked as "used" when they are found. This type of format takes much longer as a result of all the testing, but the result is a more stable volume from the start.
Get past the formatting stage, and you'll be right as rain.

Pre-configured dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows
Of possible interest to the Linux folks: A newly opened Laptops with purpose store is now offering several popular ThinkPad models fully pre-configured with dual-boot Ubuntu Linux and Windows.
These systems come with a lot of pre-installed applications, see Dual boot Linux and Windows page for details.
At the moment, we are working on specific solutions for students, educators, scientists, designers...
Would love to have some feedback from the community on the existing offerings as well as suggestions/wishes for the future ones.That would be fine if some hp machines didn't have broken UEFI that don't respect setting the default OS.

Boot devices broken after Windows 8.1 installation
Hey guys, I work for an IT company and am having some troubles after installing Windows 8.1. I run an enterprise copy provided from my company, so I couldn't do the update, and used an ISO to perform the update manually.
After the update, I'm no longer able to boot to anything besides the Windows Boot Manager. This includes all CDs, DVDs, and USB devices. I also can't boot to my Linux installation, but that was expected to break during the upgrade.
I have a computer with UEFI, I've disabled fast boot and secure boot. I've tried setting my bios boot to UEFI (which should work with GPT disks created with applications like rufus) CSM, and UEFI and CSM. When I try CSM, I don't have any boot options and
my computer gives me an error about trying all boot options and failing.
At this point, I can't boot to a USB CDROM, or any of my live USB disks. I have created both legacy boot disks and UEFI boot disks to no avail. I have tried resetting my BIOS to factory defaults.
Advanced startup settings doesn't give me an option to boot from a device any more like it used to either, so that's out of the question. I can't even wipe my PC and start again because I can't boot to anything besides Windows 8.1.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
Edit
Also, booting to recovery doesn't work. I have a recovery disk that I created, but I can't use it because I can't boot to recovery (on Samsung, F4 at boot) to apply the image.Hi,
In Windows 8.1, you need to use the tools available inside Windows 8.1 to boot to a DVD or USB drive.
Please open PC settings and click Update & Recovery, and choose Advanced Startup option.

Triple Boot; Mavericks, Snow Leopard & Windows 7
Hello
Has anyone had experience of creating an installation that can triple boot, Snow Leopard, Mavericks & Windows 7?
I have software that can only run 10.6.8, some that will only run 10.7 or beyond and some Windows only. I'd like to use a single machine.
Many thanks in advance.

No USB Functionality After Coming Out of Standby Mode - Windows XP SP2
I currently use my MacBook with Boot Camp to run Windows XP SP2 (as the default boot OS). I have enabled standby so that I can save battery power. However, whenever I come out of standby, it seems as if the USB ports no longer work. Sometimes I'll have a USB mouse plugged in and it will no longer work after coming out of standby (in the past, it would take like 10 minutes to work, but now it seems to not work at all). I have tried unplugging it and plugging it into a different USB port with no success. I have even tried another USB device (a digital photo frame product) and it doesn't detect either (although it seems to provide power via the USB port because the digital photo frame shows the "connecting..." screen). Any help regarding this is greatly appreciated, since its so frustrating to have to reboot to gain access to my USB ports. Thanks!
Same with BootCamp v2.1 and in XP SP3. More Apple software bugs it seems (seem to be rampant across all their gadgets - e.g. iPod Touch 2G v2.1.1 WiFi WPA/WPA2 failures, etc.).
Frustrated, thinking about third party Bluetooth keyboard mouse (e.g. Logitech DiNovo Edge works great on my Mac mini with it's own mini USB bluetooth receiver, just tap a key to resume from standby like you're supposed to be able to!) -- or a traditional Logitech wireless.

[SOLVED] Can't boot Windows 8 using grub2. invalid EFI file path
English is not my native language. Please excuse typing errors.
I have just successfully installed Arch linux with grub2 as its boot manager. I
followed the arch beginner guide. I've used grub before and I'm familiar with
it, so chose to use grub instead for efistub. I installed os-prober and
ran grub-mkconfig to create the grub.cfg file. The problem now is that I recieve
an error when I try to boot windows 8. I have two drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb)
and I believe both are EFI-systems.
However, it's not very important for me to use grub, so if booting into windows
8 is easier using efistub, I will try that.
The computer is ASUS ux32vd with a hybrid disk with 25GB on the SSD and 500GB on
the hard drive. I believe the SSD part is used by Windows.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found

EDIT:
I gave up trying to make grub work, so I uninstalled grub and deleted all the grub files I could find.
# pacrem grub-efi-x86_64
# rm -fr /boot/grub
That last one I came to regret later on. So I installed rEFInd using the archlinux beginners guide. When I then tried to boot into windows It told me that /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod was not found. I then reinstalled grub-efi-x86_64 and copied /usr/lib/grub/x86_64 to /boot/grub. Now everything works fine.

The EFI stub loader is a Linux-only boot loader; however, it is possible to use the EFI stub loader in conjunction with a separate boot manager, such as rEFInd or gummiboot. In such a configuration, you'd use the boot manager to select the OS to boot (Windows or Linux, and possibly the specific Linux kernel), and the boot loader (the Windows loader or the EFI stub loader built into a specific kernel) will then take over booting the OS. In Arch, this is often easier to configure than is GRUB, since GRUB is very complex and its automated tools to help with setting things up often get it wrong.
This is the first error I recieved when I tried to boot windows.
error: can't find command `drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
Press any key to continue...
The "drivemap" command in GRUB is generally used when booting a BIOS-mode boot loader, and in fact your "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" and "Windows 8 (loader) (on /dev/sda4)" GRUB entries are both built as for BIOS-mode Windows installations -- but the fact that your disks both use GPT means that Windows won't boot in BIOS mode on your computer. (This is one of the many things that the GRUB setup scripts can get wrong.)
Then I tried to follow this post
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150183 and made a new boot
entry "Windows 82". And I got a new error:
error: unspecified search type.
error: file '/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi' not found
Press any key to continue...
Both your "Windows 8" and "Windows 82" entries refer to an EFI boot loader file called EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi on your EFI System Partition (ESP). This should be correct, but your Boot Info Script output doesn't show any evidence of such a file. Sometimes Boot Info Script misses such things, so you may want to check it just to be sure. Your ESP is /dev/sda1, and it looks like it's being mounted at /boot/efi by default, so check for the /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft directory tree, and for /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi in particular. If that file isn't present, then something is wrong -- perhaps you mistakenly erased the ESP when you installed Linux, thus wiping out the Windows boot loader; or perhaps the file was accidentally deleted somewhere along the way. (Note that on FAT, which the ESP uses, case is irrelevant, and in fact case varies between the filenames reported by Boot Info Script and what's recorded in your configuration files.)
You do have another boot loader file that may be a duplicate of the Windows boot loader: EFI/BOOT/bkpbootx64.efi. This filename is generally created by Ubuntu's "Boot Repair" tool, which IMHO can do as much harm as good, especially on a system that's not booting Ubuntu. If you ran this tool, though, it's conceivable that bkpbootx64.efi is a copy of the Windows boot loader, so copying it to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi might get things working. OTOH, the Windows boot loader relies on other files to do its job, so if they're not present, copying the Windows boot loader to its original location won't be sufficient.
If you can't get things working based on the preceding suggestions, I recommend you run a Windows repair tool. These are accessible from a Windows recovery disc. Such disc images are readily available on the Internet, but I don't happen to have any links handy. Try Microsoft's own site; images obtained from random third-party sites might contain malware. Once you've done this, chances are the computer will boot directly into Windows. You'll then need to either restore GRUB as the default boot loader or install another boot loader or boot manager. You can use the Windows "bcdedit" command to do the former, as in:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\arch-grub\grubx64.efi
You'll need to type this from an Administrator Command Prompt window. -
Dual-booting Ubuntu 13.04 with Windows 8 on a U410
Hi!
I have a U410 on which I would like to dual-boot Ubuntu 13.04.
I've run it up on a live flash drive, everything works OK.
When it comes to the actual install I'm a bit nervous as I've never had a machine like this before, it's only two months old, and I've never had a machine where I didn't have a Windows install disk!
The installer sees the 500 GB HDD, so I assume I can create a partition on that.
Where do I put the boot loader though? It's telling me it wants to put it on the SSD.
Is this where it should go?
Are there any detailed steps listed anywhere?
I'm assuming that because the installer sees all the partitions and disks, I don't need to turn off UEFI or RAID....
Thanks!I've been using Ubuntu on this computer since 12.04 was released and since this thread wasn't closed I'll provide some closing documentation for other u410 users. Ubuntu is growing in popularity and this should help with new users.
Please note that I bought a u410 Ultra with Windows 7 (intentionally) and things may have changed since the new Windows release.
________Intro________________________
It is best to know how Intel Rapid Start Technology works before messing with your partition table. Windows is installed on the HDD (500/1tb depending on model) with a 2nd partition holding the drivers necessary for one-push recovery. Note that modifying Intel RST, any files on the 30gb SSD or removing the recovery partition with the windows drivers will break one-push recovery. Because of this you should learn how to reinstall windows 7/8 using a USB driver before you continue.
________ Prep_________________
Assuming you know how to install Windows, and you backed up the recovery partition onto your USB drive (or got drivers from the laptops support page on Lenovo.com it is now time to install Ubuntu.
Download the Ubuntu ISO from their website, and download univeral usb installer from here:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.3.6.exe
Usage of the USB installer is pretty straightforward, I can follow through with a how to if a reader needs it.
__________ Prerequisites____________
Now that you have a bootable USB drive, reboot into the computers BIOS and disable 'Intel Smart Response Technology'. This takes frequently used Windows files from the HDD and puts them on the SSD for quicker access. Removing the SSD or modifying it's contents only has the side effect of Windows booting and running a little slower.
Installation
Now you have three options:
-If you primarily use Windows, you can reinstall it onto the 30GB SSD
-Install Ubuntu on the SSD, and leave windows untouched
-Your last option is to put both Ubuntu and Windows on the HDD and not use your SSD at all.
I chose the 2nd option, I put ubuntu on the SSD. In addition to putting Ubuntu on the SSD for SSD speeds, I split my HDD in half. 500gb for Ubuntu and 500gb for Windows.
When I got to "Where to install Ubuntu" I chose custom. Here you will see two devices /dev/sdax (x being a number assigned to the drive, usually 1) and /dev/hdax. SD for SDD and HD for HDD.
The SSD should have two paritions, one is a fat32 partition with the name 'efi'. Dont touch this, it is used to store secure boot keys so the computer will boot Windows. Ubuntu is versatle and can reuse the Windows efi file.
The rest of the SSD is a ~30gb ntfs partition. Since you disabled Intel RST the SSD isn't going to be used at all. So you can install Windows or Ubuntu here for fast boots, it can't however fit both comfortably.
In this guide I will install Ubuntu here, creat an ext4 partition here, and for the mount point choose /
Switch to /dev/hda and shrink the Windows partition to half this size, do this by dividing the total disk space by 2 (the partitioning software counts in increments of 1024 so if you want a different size you can choose so with some simple math).
Most seasoned Linux users recommend making at the very least a 2nd partition for /home. In Linux this is where all your personal data is stored, you can reinstall any Linux distro and if you mount /home all your files will be right where they used to be. Its similiar to having a Data partition or a separate Harddrive for data if you're using Windows. In linux the transition from SSD is HDD seamless, it's all done in the background for you. I have done exactly this.
Now that your Windows partition on the HDD is shrunk down. Creat an ext4 partition in the newly freed space, for the mount point, click the drop down menu and choose /home.
Finish the installation.
________ Jumping through hoops______________
For me, 12.04.1 and 12.04.2 didn't install correctly because it didn't properly use grub-uefi. 12.10 installed and booted fine and when I used 13.04 on release day it didn't install properly (this could've been changed, if you check 'install updates while installing in present day it may go through.
Because of this issue, of not booting 13.04 (raring) I installed 12.10 and ran these commands in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install updates
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
When you reboot you will see an option for Ubuntu and an entry for Windows.
________ Conclusion / TL;Dr _______________-
My disk scheme looks like this:
SSD:
262mb efi partition
30gb ext4 partition mounted point: /
HDD:
500gb ext4 mount point /home
500gb NTFS partition 'Windows'
I recommend updating Ubuntu Raring and rebooting one more time, updates will push you to the newer 3.8 and 3.9 Linux kernels which a much more power efficient and run well on Sandy and Ivy Bridge Intel computers.
I hope this helps, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I hope this imformation is worth the nasty bump. -
Can't boot from hard disk or from windows 7 recovery dvd
I have a 970A-G46 motherboard.
I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd.
If I move the hard drive to another PC, it boots fine.
If I put the DVD in another PC's dvd drive, it can be accessed.
This machine will boot from an Ubuntu dvd and I can then access the HD directories and the recovery dvd.
What do I need to do?
Help and thanks"I can't boot from hard disk or from a windows 7 recovery dvd."
What is that DVD from? Is it from a previous computer of some kind? Same question for HDD and the OS on it.
