Error Messages when booting up Pavillion ZV5014EA

Hi there,
I have been having trouble with my HP Pavillion zv5014EA laptop. I replaced the harddrive with a Western Digital Blue Eide a couple of years back after the original hard drive failed.
On boot up I've been getting one of three messages which I've detailed below. Trouble is I'm not sure whether they relate to components of the HP notebook or the WD harddrive! I've tried installing the WD Lifeguard Diagnostics program for the harddrive and it passes both the quick and extended test.
Could anyone help me interpret these error messages?
1) First Message:

You're very welcome, Emma:
Either the hard drive is bad (even though the tests say otherwise), or the hard drive controller on the motherboard has failed and the motherboard would need to be replaced.
I'm really thinking the drive is bad, or you wouldn't even be able to run tests on it, but I am not a computer repar technician by trade.
Replacing the motherboard on that old notebook is not worth the money.
Even if you cannot afford a new notebook (or don't want to spend a lot of money on one), you would be better off getting a refurbished notebook that would be newer and better than your current one for the price of replacing the motherboard.

Error messages when booting up

Receive 3 error messages when booting up PS using Win 8. "Could not load the FastCore Routines Module, could not load the MMX Core, could not load the Multiprocess Support Module." Any explanation?

Ah-ha! Seems there are two Adobe program folders, one under Program Files and one under Program Files (x86). I did not know about the one under Program Files.
According to System Info:
Required Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\
Primary Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\
Creative Cloud app keeps wanting to update Photoshop CC but keeps failing. The error code is U44M1P7.
Following is all of the System Info, showing the third-party plug-ins that I installed a few hours ago from onOne and Topaz. I can't see anything odd in this, and System Info says all the plug-ins loaded.
Thanks for your help.

Getting weird error message when booting up our computer

when booting up our iMac, we get a gray screen with an error message in 4 languages saying: "you need to restart your computer"
upon restarting, we keep getting the same message.
at the same time we noticed that the screen was very fuzzy... I re-starting holding commandoption+pr to re-set the pram. that worked to get the screen clear, but i still ended up on the same message.
after a few re-starts, the screen went back to the fuzzy view.
I have also already checked the led lights on the back to assure that the power supply was working appropriately, and i got all 3 lights ON and solid. the 4th light (overheating) was not coming on...
any ideas or recommendations??
Tks
Leo

What you are seeing is called a 'Kernal Panic'.
What is a Kernel Panic?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106227
Try this:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:

and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Udev-acl error message when booting after removing consolekit

Hi all,
I remove consolekit (using pacman -Rdds consolekit) after the announcement, but when I reboot I see a lot of error messages (although my system boots OK):
Nov 1 19:43:42 localhost systemd-udevd[1122]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/udev-acl' 'udev-acl --action= --device=': No such file or directory
Sure enough, no udev-acl executable under /usr/lib/udev
any idea on how to get rid of this annoying message on booting?

Interestingly problem not there on my 32 bit system on my netbook, only on my 64-bit [multilib] desktop

Error Message when booting from System CD's

Ill advised I put a OSX disk in my hardly used iMac CRT G4 with 64meg of RAM. I did not know about the firmware upgrade required. Discovering my error I tried to use the System Recovery / Install CDs that came with the machine.
When booting from the CD all goes well until about 50% into the boot and then the following error appears on the screen
interfaceLib -- MgmError with a button to reboot the machine and make sure that the C button is held down on the keyboard. BUT the mac is trying to boot from the CD. Holding down the C button makes no difference. Holding down the shift key (preventing the extentions) gets past the error BUT the system restore or system install programs will not run.
Help! I am really stuck

Not only were you suppose to update your firmware, you also needed to purchase more RAM. The minimum RAM requirement for OS X is 128mb. However, Cat System users strongly recommend 256mb+.
Suggest you check out the following links & see the section on "Tray Loaders".

Error message when booting Satellite P series - "Exiting PXE-ROM"

A while ago, I accidentally deleted the active partition to my hard drive. OOps. That is not very nice, because even though I wanted to clean out the drive and start fresh, the laptop would not recognize a hard drive any more. I live in the british virgin islands where we've got lots of rum and sand but no computer parts! So I bought a new hard drive, and it did not solve the problem. Turns out that drive was no good. Bummer. I was recently in California (lots of computer parts there) and had some tech people confirmed the drive was bad and yet another drive was put in. Unfortunately the people there did not have time to fix the laptop before I left. Now I'm pretty certain that the Hard drive is good.
So now I have a good drive, but whenever I try to boot, I get stuck at the following message:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810 PCI fast ethernet controller v2.13 (020326)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.
NO matter what boot sequence I use (I can get to the setup), I can't get the computer to boot to any CD. I even tried to put a version of Ubuntu on a pen drive to try and boot to that. Nothing Every time I get the same message.
If I remove the hard drive, I get the same message, except it repeats itself every few seconds. With the HD in it only does it once.
What should I do now?

The PXE-ROM message appears because the notebook tries to boot from the LAN.
We can speculate why the notebook want to boot from the LAN.
Either the other devices like HDD and CD/DVD drive dont function correctly, controllers are not recognized by BIOS or there is a simply wrong booting order.
If you want to boot from the HDD or ODD you can press the F12 immediately after notebook starting and the boot menu should appears. Then you could choose the right boot device.
Anyway, if its not able to choose such device you should access the BIOS and should set the BIOS to the default settings and save these settings!
Good luck

How to get rid of error messages when booting Windows Vista on a Mac

I know there's a way, I've seen a page where there were step by step instructions on HOW TO do it. I just can't seem to find it now.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
doing some guessing 'Unrecognized partition table for Drive 80' error ?
Have a look here for solution: http://www.lancelhoff.com/unrecognized-partition-table-for-drive-80/
Or use the BCD approach described in here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6265406
Hope it helps

Laptop mode -- where to find error messages on boot

grep all these logs and systemd's journal.
If you have 'quiet' on the kernel line of your bootloader, remove it.

"Inaccessible boot device" error message when I try to boot up.

Greetings, I recently upgraded to Windows 10, and I wanted to do a factory reset yesterday. I did this, and when it tried to boot up after it was finished I got the error message "Inaccessible boot device", and then my computer kept on restarting itself over and over, and never getting into the OS properly. I am using a Portege R705-P35. I tried searching for the device drivers to install on a USB and booting from this, but my computer could not boot from this properly. So i believe my problem is related to the device driver. What is the exact driver I need to boot up? I checked the Toshiba site and there was a list of about 25 drivers for my PC, and I'm not sure which would work. All help is greatly appreciated on this

I have excatly the same issue on my WT8-A. I have been running Windows 10 as an Insider for months on the device, and after RTM decided to do a full reset. I now get the same message as the OP saying "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" I now have an unusabe device. Please help.

Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere? I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp? It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up. I'm almost certain it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
Any help?

You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
Best of luck.

Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610

Error message when attempting to use scanner Canon model MP610, any one have any fixes, suggestions?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, empty trash, reboot when complete.
For the other problems...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Error message when burning Home Folder backup disk

I got this error message when trying to burn a backup disk (cd-rw) of my Home Folder. Could somebody please help me figure out what this means? -

Could not open the data fork of "<unable to get file path>" (-43).

There are a bunch of folders within your home folder, you may want to decide what exactly you want to back up or not.
Besides your personal folders (Desktop, Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures), you may want to decide whether you need to back up the library folder. The library folder generally contains preferences for most of your applications, and also caches and applications support files. These can become really big in some cases (Mine is more than 8GB, will not fit on a dual layer DVD). And the Library>Caches folder contains temporary files that will change from time to time, this might be the cause of your previous error since the shortcut is no longer valid.
Once you chose your files and make sure they will fit on your blank CD/DVD, you can just do what you did before, drag the folders to a Burn folder, make sure you are not running any other apps, so they won't be modifying the files.
There are programs you can use to backup to CD/DVD, Disc burner like Toast will span across several discs if the data does not fit on one. For a more automated solution, Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) can backup to disc images which you can then burn to discs. I personally don't know a lot backup programs that provide good support for CD/DVDs, so I'll leave this to other folks.
If you are going to backup regularly, I would recommend spending some money on an external drive. You can find quite a few free software for automated backup and saves money and time on burning CD/DVDs. Plus you have the advantage of being able to boot from the external drive should anything bad happened to your internal one.

Error message when loading windows

I have been using windows on my mac for months and all of the sudden I am getting an error message when I start windows. No matter what I do(report or just close it), it comes up every time I start windows. There is no code telling me what kind of error it is....? I can still open and use windows, but it always starts with giving me this message. Can someone help me with this please Thanks

Do you still get the error when you boot up in Safe Mode?
Whatever, there might be some corruption.
Maybe you could try rolling back to the last restore point if you have one.
