Change Primary Disk. Now Bootcamp won't boot.

I had an original 1TB disk, partitioned for Bootcamp. All good.
Instaled a Thunderbolt conected SDD as primary disk. Left the 1TB With Bootcamp and added a new partition to clone the SDD.
Now it does not boot from Bootcamp neither VMWare recognizes the Bootcamp partition. Any thoughts?
I've tried this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19074925#19074925 and it did not worked.
Here is the actual setup (according to gdisk):

Changed access permissions now machine won't boot. Utilising deep breathing techniques until help appears.

Maybe a brain snap but I changed the access permissions on the hardrive to everyone-no access, what do I need to do. After 20 minutes of beachballing I pmowered down, and now it won't boot up, gets stuck on the apple boot up screen. There also exists in permissions another access setting admin-readwrite. Would appreciate some heads up on what I can do (trying not to panic).

See this User Tip by Niel: I accidentally set a disk's permissions to No Access ...

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD.

My hard drive failed, has been replaced, and now it won't boot to CD to install the OS package. It would boot for a while, get through the first cd of install and would stop randomly in the next install. I found out that the installation disk was cracked so I went out and purchased the Mac Box Set which includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 under advisement from an associate at the local apple store. Now, I try installing this new OS disk and all I get is the apple logo without a spinning wheel for about 10 minutes and the computer restarts and does it again. I have tried booting from disk, holding c while starting up, and in safemode, holding shift while booting. Please help save my poor poor macbook!!!

These errors look like corrupt or missing files that leopard requires. It sound like you need to start from scratch: format your drive, reload Leopard. I realize that this is probably what you are trying to do.
If you cannot boot from install DVD and cannot successfully get into Safemode or Single usermode (due to a corrupt or incomplete install) then you will need another computer to assist you.
If you can get it into Target Disk Mode and have another Mac you could plug it into that Mac and reformat it.
If it will not go into TDM then you may need to take it out and put it into an external enclosure to plug into another Mac to format it.

New Mobo- Now OS won't boot

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are my specs that i have now:
865PE NEO2-FIS2R
FX5600-VTD256
WD800 (w/ 8mb cache)
Intel 2.6 (Northwood)
300 Watt PSU (i don't know what info is relevant)
Ram 256 (333) i think - I don't know how to check the specs
WinXP Pro (upgraded from 98SE)
Problem:
I had all MSI components before. I brought over the HDD that had XP Pro on it. First time up it just boot up to the Safe Mode screen. 2 Beeps then a reboot to the Safe Mode again, and it keeps doing this. Note: the new mobo didn't do the regular system inventory, proc speed, ram etc. But the BIOS found everything.
Tried a boot disk, it then said that the OS had problems and couldn't boot.
I am a little fuzzy on the BIOS, so if you can help me out. I am not messing with RAID or SATA. Are there any specifics I should know. I did set ram voltage to 2.7.
I tested the Western Dig HDD and with their diag and it came out perfect. I tried to repair XP but it fails everytime. Here is the error that it gives. C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\asms "One of the components Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed."
I was beginning to think it was Gates' fault (imagine that). But then i dropped in a Win2K HDD that i had tested on another system at work. And the new HDD won't boot up either. It tries to boot up, the Win2K screen flashes and then straight to a Blue Screen. It says "Inaccessible_BOOT_Device"
Help Please!!! Let me know what other info might be helpful.
[email protected]

Well, i did finally get it to take the OS. But it would not boot to the HDD. When you first start up the pc it sets on autodetect of the primary for over 30 seconds and never finds it. You could manual boot to the HDD by a F11. I finally figured out how to flash the bios, so now i am up to date on that.
Now it will boot to the hdd, but it takes over 2 minutes and a lot of just black screen. Is there a setting I am missing in the BIOS?
I am not running any sata or raid configs. Could someone give me the basic setup for this, especially where the ide config is concerned. Or why it is taking so long to boot up. I know it isn't normal for my 1.6 never took that long.
Thanks for all of your help.

Bootcamp won't boot when Apple Display is disconnected

When I connect my MBP to my 24" cinema display everything works perfectly on windows xp through bootcamp, however, when I turn my computer off and turn it back on without the display connected, windows won't boot and just switches itself off.
In other words: If the cinema display is not connected, bootcamp wont boot. This is slightly annoying as now I can only use windows on my desk where the display is.

Hatter - I was hoping you'd find this thread. Thanks for your help.
More info: Currently there is nothing on the second drive. I'm not trying to install Windows on it, I just want it for fast access storage, available to Windows programs.   I've re-formatted it a couple of times to see if that fixed the problem, but no luck.
Obviously, I need to read up on what GUID and MBR are.    Do you think it would work best if I put Windows on the second drive instead?
If so, is this the way to do it: I use Super-Duper to make a bootable copy of my main HDD reguIarly, so no big issue there. I've bought Winclone to make a copy of the Bootcamp partition. Can I then reformat the primary drive to FAT to accomplish the same thing as unplugging it? (It would sure be a lot easier than dis-assembling the iMac again).   Then install Windows on the secondary HDD using the optical drive and Windows DVD. Then go back and restore both drives.
I guess once everything's restored, I would use the secondary HDD to run Windows, and use the NTFS partition on the primary drive for my storage.

[SOLVED] Switch to systemd - Now system won't boot

I saw that todays update upgrade included the installation of systemd. I looked the wiki and did the necessary changes (I already had made the /etc/hostname etc. files). So I added the
init=/bin/systemd
line to grub and now my system won't boot. I get an error saying something about syslog service not enabled and then a black screen. I can boot my machine fine without the "init=/bin/systemd" line but I want to run a pure systemd system since Arch is moving to it anyway. In the wiki it mentions to install systemd-sysvcompat but it conflicts with initscripts it says. What am I doing wrong or missing?

Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

Bootcamp won't boot

When I click on my Windows partition at startup the computer just stops everything all together (randomly stopped working today). Won't boot. I tried the disk utility to no avail.
It says to just make the whole partition. I'd really like to avoid that if possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry probably my question wasn't clear. I'll try to explain myself better. After installing security update 2010-001 the bootcamp doesn't boot anymore. If I try to boot it, it remains on the black screen and there is the flashing underscore. Please help me, I don't know what to do!
Thanks

Our business pc had an Adobe Air update. Now pc won't boot up any windows processes.

The Adobe Air update popped up and my biz partner accepted it without reading it. Now the pc won't boot up. He cannot even get to the point of removing the update or restoring the pc. Was this some type of malware or an error that Adobe can correct? HOW do I get it off?

It could be malware: there are LOT of fake updates going around at the moment.
What does the PC do - where does it get to in the boot, what happens next?

MacBook was shut down improperly now it won't boot up, until the battery is fully drained

macbook pro 17 late 2009
last week my Mac shut down because it ran out of battery,so I plugged in charged it, next morning it wouldn't boot. No sounds coming from it at all, not even attempting to boot. I let it sit unplugged, battery drained in about 1 1/2 days, plugged it in, got a little charge, and it rebooted just fine. This morning my son thought it was turned off, hit the power button, and it shut down.... now it won't reboot. Again no sounds coming from it at all. I don't have a day and a half to let it drain out again. Any help is appreciated !

I installed 10.4.8 and now classic won't boot.

I installed the 10.4.8 update on my G5 at work and classic won't boot up now. I use one and only one app in the classic mode (because the IT dept won't update the server software) so now I am lost without my email. It freezes right before it gets to the end of the boot process. It is very frustrating!
Any and all advice would be grately appreciated.
G5, Power book & Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5, Power book & Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Try these in this order (it has been so long, I can't remmeber the exact places things are located):
1. There is a way to start with extensions off. Do that. If it works, the problem is in Classic. Reinstall it.
2. Remove the 3 things that are installed in the Cloassic System Folder (all have the name Classic in them), that are installed when you first launch Classic. Launch Classic again, and it will ask to reinstall them.
