DVD - bootmgr corrupt system cannot boot

Good afternnon,
the DVD cannot be used to run te set up - Vista Home Premium 64bit.
Once lunched a black screen shows only "bootmgr corrupt system cannot boot"
What I have to do? Is it possible to receive a new copy?
Thx

Hi,
Can you test in another computer?
It seems this is related to your installation media. If so, it is recommended to try a good copy.

BOOTMGR image is corrupt, system cannot boot

Hey there! My english is not the best, but i'll try:
Maybe anyone can help me?
my laptop (HP 620) fell down. Nothing works anymore!
Failured ID: OLKWLM-00070E-XD6U3A-60R603
Produkt ID: WT 092EA#ABD
Hard disc drive capacity : 320 GB
Hard disc 1
Is there anything i can do by myself??
Thanks for your help!!

Hi Julo1907
This failure ID is a HDD error.
Error code: 303
More detailed: Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure
If you computer is under warranty I will recommend you to take contact to HP(I don't know if this work for a commercial computer)
Check you warranty here
A HDD error 303 can be 2 thing.
1. It can be a HDD error where the HDD is dead.
2. It can be a HDD controller on the moderboard there is broken or dead.
If it's out of warranty I will recommend you to replace your harddrive, since 9/10 times is it the HDD there are dead.
There is not much you can do about this error. Only get it repaired or replace the HDD by yourself.
Hope it answered your question
Best regards

After updating kernel and ZFS modules, system cannot boot

Starting Import ZFS pools by cache file...
[ 4.966034] VERIFY3(0 == zap_lookup(ddt->ddt_os, ddt->ddt_spa->spa_ddt_stat_object, name, sizeof (uint64_t), sizeof (ddt_histogram_t) / sizeof (uint64_t), &hht->ddt_histogram[type][class])) failed (0 == 6)

And then occasionally I see

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Thanks!
I did the same and it worked... kind of. The first three reboots it failed (but did not stop the system from booting) producing:
zpool[426]: cannot import 'data': one or more devices is currently unavailable
systemd[1]: zfs-import-cache.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
The second boot also resulted in a kernel panic, but as far as I can tell unrelated to zfs.
After reboot one and three imported the pool manually.
From the fourth reboot on loading from cache file always succeeded. However, I it takes faily long (~8 seconds) and even shows
[*** ] A start job is running for Import ZFS pools by cache (Xmin Ys / no limit)
briefly. Altough I might only notice that because the recent updates sped up oder parts of the boot process. Did you observe a slowdown during boot time, too, kinghajj?

System cannot boot after last update

I think that problem in display detection.

Bootmngr mgr image is corrupt , the system cannot boot

the lap top had windows xp Media Center Edition
Model - hp pavilion dv 5040 us
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey Charlie,
There is a few reason for this error message. It is possible that the hard drive has failed. I would first start with running the built in self test on the hard drive. Since this is a drive error it would be the best place to start. Follow the steps here on how to Perform a Hard drive self test
Let me know what this returns.
Thanks,
Sean

[SOLVED] Cannot boot from raid1 after upgrade

My system cannot boot from software raid(1) after upgrading the kernel to version 3.2.13-1. I realized then, that mkinitcpio.conf was overwritten (probably missed that in a previous upgrade). So I put back "mdadm" to HOOKS and "raid1" to MODULES. Unfortunately it didn't help. This is the boot-up screen:
Any ideas?
Last edited by dito (2012-03-28 13:10:52)

Thank you for your answer. I replaced the mdadm hook with mdadm_udev and updated my mdadm.conf. Removing the hd configuration stuff from grub then finally did the trick. Works again!

Cannot boot from USB-DVD on HP Envy 13

Even when the USB DVD drive is selected as the primary boot device or selected as boot device after pressing ESC and F9, I cannot boot from DVD.
According to another post I have:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g-Windows-8-and-Software/Boot-problem-but-...
I have problems booting from HDD as well, and now I also have problems booting from DVD. I have tried 3 different bootable DVDs.
Does anyone have any ideas to how the booting process could be corrupted any further and how I can regain the boot-from-DVD function? Now I cannot even run the recover DVD and recover the PCs factory settings.
However, I can still boot from HDD following the description from the other posting.
Thanks with best regards

Could you please give me the exact product number for your notebook?

Curve 8320 corrupts OS periodically and then cannot boot (blinking LED only)

I have a T-Mobile BB Curve 8320 that I've had for about 9 months, and I have what appears to be a recurring problem.
Three times now, the phone has corrupted its OS, and it will not boot. Each time it does it, the symptoms are first the phone is non responsive, and just shows the spinning hourglass cursor. The last time it did it while in the Mail app, which is the one I use almost exclusively. The phone appears to lock up, showing the wait cursor indefinitely. This time I waited a half hour, and it was clear that it wasn't coming back. So I pushed the power button, and it shut down the phone. But then when I tried to turn it back on, the screen never came up, and it just blinked the red LED "forever." (It was about 18-20 hours before I got around to trying to reload it.) The first time this happened was when the phone was running the OS version it shipped with, which I think was 4.3, but I don't recall. But now it has done it twice while running 4.5.0.81, which is the OS distribution T-Mobile makes available for the Curve.
The first two times it did it, I used the application loader to wipe the device and reload the OS. When in this state, BB desktop manager doesn't see the device since it can't boot. But if you click through to the application loader, you can get it to load. (Or you can run the application loader outside of BB desktop manager)
This time, the application loader started up, offered the choice of what to load, and then proceeded into the next phases. Erasing the device succeeds, as does the next phase where it loads the OS. But then it gets to where it is loading application modules, with a progress bar for each module and one for the overall progress. It got halfway through the overall progress, and failed with an "unspecified error", suggesting to try again. I tried it three times, and it failed the same way each time.
After calling T-Mobile, they bounced me over to RIM, and the first guy had me go through the app loader again with the same result. When he started pursuing USB connectivity issues, I asked to speak to someone else. (There are other devices on this system, both mass storage and input, and none of them ever show connectivity issues. )
The second tech had me rerun the application loader, but this time only select the core OS, leaving out all the apps. This succeeded, and then he had me rerun it, loading the rest of the applications. This also succeeded.
But the problem I still have is this. There is no explanation why the phone corrupts itself every couple of months, or why loading the OS and the applications in one step failed to work _repeatedly_. I believe the device has a bad memory address, and the two step OS load simply danced around it. And it is that which is causing the phone to corrupt its own OS to the point that it cannot boot.
The tech tried to pass of the corruption due to loading third party applications, and while I can accept that a rogue application can corrupt memory locations that it has the ability to write to, I don't know if the BB OS/device uses any form of protected memory, or if apps are essentially unrestrained. The only third party applications I load on this are the Google app, with Gmail, and Opera Mini.
To be honest, if the BB OS is that fragile that I can't even load these two applications on it, I'll be trading it for a different email capable phone.
Anyway, I'm looking to find if anyone else has a phone that repeatedly gets corrupted so it can't boot, and requires a complete reload. Also, is there anyway to test the memory on the phone? I'm going to call T-Mobile back and try to get them to swap my phone, because I can't afford to spend three hours on the phone with tech support every couple of months when my phone dies.
thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Our cases sound a bit different. I seldom use Desktop Manager, as I sync through BES. I do use it for backup though.
But over the time my phone corrupting itself has happened, I've upgraded from BB OS 4.3 to 4.5, which required an update to Desktop Manager, and following that I upgraded to a new computer. So I've changed computers, BB Desktop software, and BB OS software, and the problem has happened across all of those changes.
You should have been able to restore the OS even if it was corrupt. Desktop Manager won't recognize the device if it won't boot, but application loader will still find it. The first two times I did it, I used instructions basically like this: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry?page=4
But since then I've found I can just access application loader via BB Desktop Manager and do the same thing. I did notice when my OS reload kept failing this last time, that using application loader directly showed more of the failure message. It still wasn't anything useful, but when I reran the reload via Desktop Manager, I recognized the error was the same, but noted that I didn't see all of the output of the standalone application loader.

Lucreate - Cannot make file systems for boot environment

Hello!
I'm trying to use LiveUpgrade to upgrade one "my" Sparc servers from Solaris 10 U5 to Solaris 10 U6. To do that, I first installed the patches listed on [Infodoc 72099|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-72099-1] and then installed SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur and SUNWluufrom the S10U6 sparc DVD iso. I then did:
--($ ~)-- time sudo env LC_ALL=C LANG=C PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH lucreate -n S10U6_20081207 -m /:/dev/md/dsk/d200:ufs

I can do a "newfs /dev/md/dsk/d200" just fine.
When I try to remove the incomplete S10U6_20081207 BE, I get yet another error :(

lucreate used to work fine, "once upon a time", when I brought the system from S10U4 to S10U5.
Would anyone maybe have an idea about what's broken there?

Cannot boot from DVD since 10.4.6 update.

My Quad cannot boot from the Superdrive at all.Upon updating I decided to repair permissions from the DVD but everytime I got to the Apple logo the fans powered up,full tilt. I had to turn the Quad off from the power button and start up holding down the mouse, in order to eject the DVD.
As far as I remember, I allowed the computer to start up twice, and disconnected all peripherals whilst updating.
I've tried zapping the pram and resetting the nvram to no avail.I've inserted Disk Warrior and that will not boot. The computer runs fine from the HD (although there was one occasion when, briefly, a small OS9-style Mac monitor appeared with a question mark, then made way for a proper boot), but I'm really concerned at this problem. I do not want to wipe the system drive and start from scratch,since I've only just finished migrating a whole buch of software from another G5, and I have TV job looming.
Incidentally, both my other G5's and Mac Mini updated with no perceptable problems. Can anyone shed any light on this and, perhaps, offer a solution (other than a wipe ! ).
Thank you.
G5 Quad 2.5,G5's DP 2.5/2.0,Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.5) MOTU 2408's Mk3x3,24i/o,Hammerfall HDSP 9652x3

Any installation can theoretically cause harm. If you aren't backed up, you may be forced to use Target Disk Mode if you can't boot a DVD, or an external DVD burner that supports booting. Both LaCie and Otherworld Computing have external Firewire DVD drives that support booting. Target Disk Mode is described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Fortunately when you boot via Firewire or use Target Disk Mode, you bypass the hard drive's bootloading software, which you don't when you use the internal optical drive.

MOVED: Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

Hi,
make sure you have disconnected all non-essential external devices (printers, scanners, external harddisk) prior to installing BootCamp Windows.
Leave only mouse, keyboard and display connected.
Make sure that your XP CD is either retail or OEM/systemBuilder version and not a manufacturer-bundled one.
Also make sure that the CD is 'clean' (no dust, no scratches, etc.).
Use the BootCamp Assistant to revert back to one single OSX volume.
Use OSX Disk Utility to Verify your harddisk and repair permissions.
Retry the XP installation from scratch.
Generally using NTFS is more likely to not getting the 'missing hal.dll' error.

Cannot boot....BIOS Corrupted ?

I have a lenovo 3000 Q, machine type 10003 Model Number 57054161 S/N SSxxxxxxxx M701W07, previously I change the motherboard and when it boot up it has this message invalid cpu serial number and error 00 something, but pressing enter to continue boot seem ok. But now I cannot boot the pc and cannot enter BIOS setup.
After the message usually I just press enter to continue, and it will boot up. Now it seem to stuck forever. Even pressing F1 to go to the BIOS also stuck at entering setup forever. Is the BIOS corrupted? I try to clear the BIOS by jumper pin, did not solved the problem. Searching for BIOS update / firmware for this type of PC on all over the internet did not find any BIOS firmware. It quite difficult to get info for this PC type with all the jumble up info at IBM and lenovo site.
Is there anyway to get this PC alive again ?
Moderator Note; s/n edited for members own protection

Already done that , I take out the battery for more than 3 days, and jump the clear CMOS jumper, but still when pressing F1, it stuck at Entering setup.
More detail on the boot up.
It come up with the ThinkCenter logo, Intel and Phoneix logo, then
ERROR 00CE Machine Type and Serial Number are Invalid!
Update the BIOS to correct this problem
System is starting
(To interrupt normal startup, press ENTER)
-- Usually this will boot up to the operating system, but not it stuck forever.
-- Pressing ESC will bring the boot up screen. It shows the :-
Phoenix TrustedCore(tm) Desktop SP2 for ThinkCenter.U
Copyright......
Lenovo Copyright.....
CPU Information
RAM Infromation
L2 cache info
There is no info regarding the hard disk or the cdrom drive although both of them are there and connected.
At the lower leff bottom stated Press F1 for Setup
Pressing F1 will change it to Entering Setup..... and stuck there forever.
Is there any way to fixed this ? Can I update the bios for this PC ? If can how, coz I cannot access the OS and where in the world that I can get the current BIOS for this PC, searching on the intenet did not found one. and to change the motherboard
is like buying a new computer.
Is there a reason that the boot up sequence did not detect the hard disk and the cdrom. the hard disk is sata 500GB and the cdrom is an ide cdrom that come with the PC.
Hopefully someone can shade a light on this problem.

PLEASE HELP ME

> When i log in bios hdd was detected but not available in boot priority menu. Just network adapter was there & now i cannot boot from hdd nither cd/dvd.
Does this means that neither HDD nor CD/DVD drive appears in the BIOS boot option?
Strange what notebook model do you have?
Did you try to set BIOS to default?
If not do this (press F9 and save the changes in BIOS)

Win 7 pro installed on hp touchsmart 320-1030, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. Assist

I have installed Win 7 professional on hp touchsmart 320-1030 with an OEM DVD to overwrite Win 7 premium preinstalled from factory.
I want to reboot the machine with the same DVD after completing the installation, to test for possibility of reimage in case of crash. Although in bios, I specify cd\dvd as firts boot media, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. I have 20 machines that behave this way. Can anyone assist?
Note: I had to delete all partitions on the PC before doing a fresh installation of Win 7 pro as Premium can not joing domain.

Hello,
So, you installed Window 7 Pro with a DVD, you boot with it to install the O.S, and now it does not work?
Have you tried to load the BIOS default values or even updating the BIOS?
If it had work before, cant understand why it does not work now...
Let me know.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

Cannot boot in Windows 8.1 anymore (after making some changes in both systems)

Problem: I cannot boot in the Windows 8.1 partition created with Bootcamp anymore. When I try to do that, the system displays the grey screen then goes into a command line mode similar with MS-DOS and asks for inserting a disk (it reports no bootable drive).
Possible causes:
- I disabled the Bootcamp process in the Notification area in the Windows 8.1 systray
- I created a new partition in OS X on which I installed an older OS X version I still need to use (Mt Lion)

Can you tell me what exactly I should do in gdisk after merging the OS X partitions with their respective Recovery partitions?
Thanks, in advance.
Once you have EFI, Yosemite HD, Lion HD and Bootcamp, use the following steps. Your values will be different then this example. Use defaults except the boot ability flag for the last Bootcamp partitions to be 'y'.
