Can't find boot disk (only when restarting)

I resently changed the HDD in my old macbook air and now I have a strange issue. When the air is restarted either manually or due to a software update the boot disk can't be found. If I do nothing the folder with a question mark appear, and if i hold down option-key no drives appear for selection.
The weird thing is that it is only on restart. If I turn of the air and start it everything works properly. Because of this it is not a major issue but I would like to resolve it none the less...
Thanks in advance

Thanks - already did that several times though. It has become progressively worse and I have found that others upgrading to runcore SSD's have had similar issues.
I will try a firmware update once i get the time, but I'm not optimistic... Keep away from runcore seems to be the lesson after what I've read so far in different threads

  • Error message (can't find boot disk) installing win xp on VirtualBox

    In trying to install win xp to a VirtualBox vm, I get an error message that a boot disk can't be found. This seems logical to stupid me, as I have not yet installed the win system from the install disk. Instructions that came with the VirtualBox said I must have windows installer on my computer to install win xp. So I downloaded it, but cant figure out how to install it on the vm. To further confuse things, I can't seem to find information as to whether my Intel 2ghz core duo is a 32 bit or 64 bit chip.
    Thanks for any help you can give me...

    Hi, Dave & Dave -
    Wow, that took longer than I thought. I have been back for a couple of hours, and spent that time running the uninstall program, and then going to users/library/VirtualBox and deleting that folder, and its contents. Next I downloaded a fresh copy of VirtualBox from the Sun website, installed it on my computer, then ran the VirtualBox set up (setup the settings) and then clicked on the start icon. After the splash screen, I once again got the same error message. I repeated that routine at least three time, all three times I received the same message.
    I then got the bright idea to go into my time machine and went back to several days after I had installed the program previously (March 25, 2009) and retrieved both the program from the application folder, and the vb folder from the user library, restoring them to my present computer state. After all, I thought, if it worked on March 25th, those files should work now. DRAT, I was wrong, Got the same message at the same place in the startup routine.
    So, Dave and Dave, after a little more futzing around, I'm now back to the same place I was when I first posted about my problem: My win xp disk will still not mount. ****!!!

  • Error "Can't find boot device by boot options" when boot from ISO via AMT

    Hello.
    When I try to boot from ISO CD via AMT I got an error message:
    "Can't find boot device by boot options"
    Settings are similar to what I made in HP 8100, 8200 etc - SOL/IDER/KVM, network access enabled
    Where could be a problem?
    Prod. name: HP Compaq Elite 8300 Microtower PC
    Prod. number: B0F41EA

    Just wanted to follow up with this as I got a response from HP. It looks like it is at least the 2.9 BIOS version that has this issue. I know that at least the 2.51 BIOS version is unaffected. 

  • No boot disk found when system is turned on

    Hello all, and thanks in advance for answering my question. I booted my intel based iMac from an Ubuntu Linux live cd to install Linux to a partition that I had set aside using disk utility but did not end up installing Linux. When I restarted the computer after removing the Linux CD, the screen was white for a few seconds longer than normal and then an error message appears saying that now bootable volumes were found and please insert a bootable disk and so I put in the OS X install disk that came with the computer but it still refusies to boot and does not respond to key presses at power on so I cannot eject the OS X DVD. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried starting up while holding the Option Key? That will take you to startup manager and you can select the startup disk.
    When you started from the OS X DVD, did you do that while holding the C key?
    You can also do the PRAM reset by starting up while holding command-option-P-R keys.

  • Can't find Boot Camp on my leopard install DVD

  • How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

    How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

    Try calling 1-800-676-2775.  Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk).  *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
    If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
    Have you considered Snow Leopard?.  Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

    "Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

    Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

    Hi,
    Yes in some cases I think, its not easy though - it would also be dependent on how your disk group is configured, for instance if you have variable extent sizes then it will be much more difficult.
    Why do you need to do this?
    Thanks

    Shootist007, I think Cdf15 wants each recipient to see his/her own email address.
    Cdf15, you can't quite do what you asked with Mail alone, but you can come close with a slight variant of what Shootist007 recommended. Just put a dummy address (perhars the sender's) in the To field and all recipient addresses in the Bcc field. That way, no recipient sees either the other recipients' addresses or their own.
