Can't get system to boot up

I just installed a new K8N mainboard and AMD 2800+ with a Kingstin 512 dim 400 with hyper X. The computer will turn on but always loops once it gets past the screen with the ide devices listed. It prompts for "start windows normally" but what ever I select it just reboots. I can never get to windows. Help

I also noticed my Crucial Ballistix Timings were 2 2 2 8 2T , and changed it manually to the recommended 2 2 2 5 1T.
that's fine 1T runs faster than 2T although it wouldn't make to much diff if youd had left the tRas at 8 & just changed to 1t

Exelent housing, sleeving; alot of plugs and exelent cooling. 12.8V in the 12V rail, making my system unstable. I tested with a multimiter also, and when I adjusted the rheobus to low, the voltage of the 12V rail went up to 12V. and when I turn the rheobus all the way up, I got 12.2V ..... I returned.
doesn't sound so hot, tolerance is usually +/-5% giving a range of 12.6v - 11.4v 12.8v is therefore outside this range.
However a QUALITY power supply only becomes recognised as such with usage, it comes down to your choice, are you willing to be a pioneer.
good luck

Can't get ibook to boot from external harddrive when hitting option key

Hello,
After owning a Pismo Powerbook that had it's hardrive replaced --twice--, i'm all about backing my shtuff up for my ibook.
I picked up a Lacie d2 external harddrive today, and used Disk Utility's Restore function to copy everything from the ibook to the drive. I can boot off the Lacie without a problem when I select it as the startup disk from sys preferences.
But I can't get it to boot from the Lacie when I depress the Option key while rebooting or starting.
any suggestions?
ibook g4 933 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Let's be sure you are doing it correctly:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the desired boot drive (you will have to wait about 20 seconds before you can make the selection) then click on the large right arrow button. If this is what you are doing and it does not work, then you may need to re-prep the external drive and re-clone.
1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
After the above re-clone as follows:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

How can I get System dates with time scheduler using threads

Can't get RAID to boot... simple fix?

Hey everyone,
Just got my K8N Neo Plat with 3200 CG Clawhammer.
Got RAID set up and XP Pro SP1 installed okay, but now I can't get Windows to boot.
FIRST BOOT DEVICE: HARD DRIVE
SECOND BOOT DEVICE: FLOPPY
THIRD BOOT DEVICE: CD-ROM
IDE RAID: ENABLED (with all appropriate ports and SATA channels as well)
When I select BOOT LIST - F11 from POST screen, I can select Hard Drive, but then it also gives me an additional menu where it displays my two Seagate Barraccuda's individually, and then my RAID. When I select the RAID from this list, it's fine, and XP boots. When I restart and boot normally, however, it's like it's trying to boot off of my striped drives individually, and I get "A disk-read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart" at the IRQ/Verifiying DMI Resources screen.
I can't find this hard drive sub-menu that allows me to boot my RAID in the BIOS when I select my boot devices. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Odie

How can i get system variable using java

Hi,
I just want to know how can i get system variables using java code.
for example i want to get the the date for today or i want to get the number of processes that's running.
Thanks alot

Hi,
I just want to know how can i get system variables
using java code.
for example i want to get the the date for today or i
want to get the number of processes that's running.
Thanks alotSome generic "system variables" are available though Java, usually through the System class.
Date today = new Date();
is instantiated with the current date and time.
Other system values, like environment values, should be passed to java through the command line (-D option) by setting system properties.
Finally, platform specific values like the number of processes running will have to be written in platform specific code and executed by JNI (java native interface).
Java is platform or system agnostic. Common system values, like time, are implemented. Hopefully you won't need platform specific values.

Can't get Powerbook to boot up...

I have a powerbook 15" that I purchased in 2005; I usually have it in sleep mode last and when I went to use it last night, I noticed that the light in the front wasn't flickering on and off. I tried to power it up using the on/off button, but that didn't work either, so I don't know what's going on. Can't get it to boot up no matter how long I hold the power button. Any suggestions?

Hi Emilio,
If the suggestion that you received from Philo2 doesn't solve the problem, you might try holding down the start button for ten seconds. Wait a few seconds then try to start it again.
Sometimes these PowerBooks go into deep sleep and don't respond to anything but a new startup.

I have an old iMac that won't boot up anymore. I have the OS X install disks but I can't get it to boot from these disks. No need to save anything. Any suggestions?

I have an old iMac. Not sure of the operating system but the install disks say OS X. The computer will not boot anymore and all I keep getting is to restart and when I do I keep getting the same message. I do have the install disks but I can't get the computer to install, or for that matter, read the disks. I would like to rebuild the computer from these disks so that I can continue to use this computer. There is no need to save anything on the computer as I backed it up months ago. Any suggestions as to how I can save this computer and not have to recycle it?

Really need to know what version of OS X it is currently running, and what version you are trying to install.

Windows won't start and can't get system repair disc to run

I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and suddenly windows will not load up and start. I did get to safe mode and saw some windows files load up but safe mode doesn't really open up windows where I can do anything. I have a System Repair Disc and the System Recovery discs I can run but I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard. How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?

How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?
After you have loaded the repair disc, shut down the computer. Then power it up and press F12 to reach the boot-priority menu. Select the optical drive there.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
If you can't boot from the repair disc, there's something wrong with the hardware, the BIOS, or the disc.

Can't get G5 to boot directly into Linux

Hi, I have an Xserve G5, and am trying to install Debian on it. The problem is, I can boot the system my entering Open Firmware and typing "boot hd:,yaboot", but I'd rather not do that. How do I get the system to boot directly, without having to enter Open Firmware?

Use Option, not Command. Once it is booted, select you startup drive in "Startup Disk" system preference.

Qosmio F60-14K - Can't get it to boot from the SSD

Hi
Im trying to install a new SSD disk, but cant, because I cant get it to boot from the SSD, "Insert a system start disk" Works fine as a USB, even installed Windows 7 on it and tried to boot from it but with out any luck.
All I havent tried are to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that because I dont have that option in BIOS. I think I have tried everything I can test, any tips/help would be much appreciated!!
And so to the BIOS part a joke to call bios all you can do change clock settings and the bootorder more or less!
Anywhy to get more options?
thx
//Henrik

I installed it on my desktop cuz I couldnt install win7 when it was in the laptop it said it wasant a start partision, but it didnt help since it didnt boot from it even with the OS installed on the disk.
Since I cant boot from the ssd it dosent matter what I install on it.
Yeah aslong as u dont want to change anything the set bios seams ok but not as soon as you want to change anything like in my case.
something I really really miss is the fan speed control and ofc the acpi and maybe some chipset settings.
but aslong as I get my SSD to work Im more then happy with the bios settings ;)

How to get system and boot on one volume - currently on 2 volumes

I have ended up with 2 hard drives one of which has Windows 7 on one partition and the other one has 2 volumes each with Windows 8.1 installed. This 8.1 drive has one volume (D) marked as Active, Boot and the other volume (C) marked as System.
I want to make the C volume Active System and Boot and have the D volume for storage only. I need to make this change without losing data on either volume. Can this be done, if so which of the many partition operations is the appropriate
one. Would a free download such as EasUS be able to do it?

Satellite p745 can't get system control panel to stay lit up

I cannot get the lights on the system control panel to stay lit up when the functions are active, i.e. wi-fi. They light up for a few seconds when touced, then fade out. How do I get them to stay on?

i have been posting this a few places maybe it will get around. I have found becuse of my full enclosed iphone case i can not get my figure low enough to get the control panal to work. maybe apple can move up the control panal access to get it to work better for thos who have full cases.

How can I get system properties?

Hello,
How can I get the system properties like %JAVA_HOME% in my java codes, for example, I want to print it like this.
System.out.println("%JAVA_HOME%");
but it doesn't work!
Please give me a hand!

To pass the Operating system environment variable to the Java "environment variables", you have to explicitely pass them on the command line eg.
java -Dmyjava.home=%JAVA_HOME% myClass
then, in your code use
String JAVA_HOME = System.getProperty ( "myjava.home" );regards,

Can;t get past the boot screen (formerly, "I'm having a keyboard problem")

Hello there,
This is my first post on this forum, and I'm here to ask for some help with my first build. The main problem at this point is that after I power on the system, it goes to the Platinum screen and says "press <Tab> to enter Post, or <Del> to enter setup" but neither of these, nor any key on the keyboard will respond.
I have not installed the OS yet, since I can't get to the Bios to do anything else.
I hope I included enough info on my signiture. Let me know if you need anymore info.
Eclayton
PS I changed the title of this thread, from "I'm having keyboard problems" since I think that was misleading, and not the real issue

Hello e,
Good to see you up and running. Good luck loading up your operating system.
The reason I wanted you to get your SATA drive connected to your motherboard SATA 3 connector is just that sata 1/2 connectors are unlocked. There is no way around it. SATA 3/4 connectors are locked and will give you better reliability and flexivility later on.
Updating your power supply may not be a bad idea if you got the cash. You have only 18 Amps on your 12 volts rail which is quite a bit lower than the recommended 24 Amps on 12 Volts for high end system such as yours. Use the one you have for now and see if it can get you into Windows running everything that you want and then make a decision. With no OCing you may be able to seak by if you get decent electrical power from your utility company. Your system voltage and stability once running will let you know.
Have fun,
Yep, got the OS up and running (it wasn't recognizing the hard drives at first, since I had strung up the wiring real nice, and neglected to plug in the power to them! D'oh!) But that was easy to fix.
Got the card reader loaded now, so everythings in place.
But, I think the power supply is an issue and will get a bigger one. The message I get says there's not enough power for the video card, so to keep my hardware safe from damage, it is only running within my available power. That's good for now, while I load my AV, and other programs, but I'm going to the store to buy that power supply...Do you think the above one I posted is worth a shot? It seemed a better solution then the one I have in the case...
Oh, one more thing, what does Locked and Unlocked mean, with SATA 1/2 and SATA 3/4? I'll switch them when I put in the new PS, but just wondered what that meant.
Hey, thanks a bunch. This has been fun, and you've been a big help.
Eric
