How to boot with cd?

Hi again,
My pb is not working as mentioned in post. While I'm waiting on possible suggestions for my pb, I wanted to know how I can boot from a cd? Since my pb won't even boot (just shows black screen and hard drive spins) how will i be able to get a cd in the slot? Any secrets?
Thanks in advance,
ATMz

Hi,
on these "Oldies" you have to create a boot floppy disk with the CD Driver.
Then you must connect the CD and Floppy Drives, have to boot this Floppy disk and C: prompt will be available!
Then when the CD ROM driver was loaded you can start the CD.
It can be that you need the original Toshiba Drives!

How to boot with another Recovery DVD?

(Sorry if i have Bad-English)
Hi guys, i bought a 15" MacBook Pro (A1286, Mid-2010) and i'm want to make a clean installation of a Snow Leopard DVD (Note: I bought that computer Without the Original Recovery DVD's) with a Non-Factory Recovery DVD's...
The problem is: When i'm trying to boot from the DVD, it Starts to read (and the Apple logo appears without the progress animation) and the DVD reader stops reading... Nothing else happens
Please Help Me!

Set the value of the the OpenBootProm (OBP) variable "boot-file" to "kadb" (or "kadb -v" if you prefer verbose kernel messages).
Use either the eeprom(1M) command from the running solaris system,
like this:
<pre>
% eeprom boot-file (<- query current value of "boot-file")
boot-file=kadb
% eeprom boot-file=kadb (<- define new value)
</pre>
You can also define this variable from the OBP monitor using the
OBP command "setenv"
Starting with the next reboot, the file "kadb" will be booted instead
of the "kernel/unix". kadb will load "kernel/unix" automatically
under debugger control...

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

How do I boot with a certain user in-control?

Duh. Maybe I am suffering a lapse mentally. But my question is my Subject, please: "How do I boot with a certain user in-control?" I set Users as I want, then I re-start, but I use the older user, still. So I feel perplexed, which is not good. :-(
I feel Frustrated at trying to _download_ Mavericks. More than two-weeks I've seen: "Your request is Temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later."
[On my iMac, I am trying to create a new account to use to try to get Mavericks.] Thank you. :-)

Well, depending on your current OS version, what you need to do is to switch user at the login screen. On Lion, there's a switch user icon to click on. Switch user then log in.
But I don't think that will fix not being able to download Mavericks, though I guess it's possible. If you already have an Apple ID and account, you want to be careful about associating multiple IDs with different apps, video, music, etc. on your system. That can result in problems, as Apple IDs can't be consolidated.

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

How to Boot a MacBookPro with Ubuntu v10.10 on USB drive??

With Unbuntu v10.10 on my USB jump drive plugged into my MacBook Pro (OS X v10.6.6) & holding down the "alt" key during power-up, only the MacBook internal hard drive is available for selection.
Also tried holding down "command" + "option" + "F" + "0" during power up to access EFI but system boots as normal with no Bios or EFI settings available to change boot device. Plus using Statup Disk under System Preference shows only the MacBook Internal Hard Drive or Network as options, no USB.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to boot Ubuntu v10.10 from a USB jump drive on my MacBook Pro?

the easy step is boot linux with usb in a mac, the hard step is this run well configured, and you can run all features of you computer booting from a usb.
You cannot boot a MBR disc from USB, but you can boot an efi disc. You nees install grub-efi, and run it. If your mac is old, is possible that you cannot boot grub-efi from the efi boot particion (the first, that it is fomat in FAT32), and in this case, you need an HFS+ for boot grub-efi.
You can read this topic of ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995704
and in the grub web, has a wiki that you can learn how to configure the grub-efi and how to boot it in mac.
Good luck!

Z68A-GD55 G3 -- how do you get it to boot with 4 DIMMs installed?

Howdy folks,
I am really hoping that someone here can enlighten me on this magical BIOS setting that allows you to boot this unit up with all 4 DIMM slots populated? I have scoured the dark corners of the interwebz trying to figure this out and it completely eludes me, I even read the manual cover to cover... all I can find is a couple posts where people have updated the bios or went into the bios and changed a setting allowing them to escape the reboot loop that I get with all four memory slots filled.... the unit boots just fine with two DIMMs installed and it doesn't matter which two... I found this on a post but nothing else:
"One more thing, it wouldn't boot with four RAM-sticks out of the box, but it worked fine to start with only 2 RAM-sticks and use F1 to change bios-settings. After doing it that it had no problem with 4 RAM-sticks."
Take from: Google search "Z68A-GD55 megathread" since I can't post external links, the author of the article is "the Squonk"
Any one encounter this before?
Thanks in advance,
TF

Help - How to install Win XP in dual boot with Win 7 (first installed)?

Hi everybody!
I'm having some difficult in install a win xp in dual boot with win 7 (which came with the G550 notebook).
I modified the D: (Lenovo) partition to a primary partition to install the XP. Also I installed the EasyBCD to manange the boots and both S.O. load fine.
The problem is that Win XP is seeing a partition (the first partition on disk) with 200MB that is hidden for Win 7 ! So this partition takes the C: letter in XP and mess all the configuration once that many programs uses the C: as a default letter.
The disk is divided in (aprox):
200 MB hidden partition (from factory)
160GB with Win 7 installed
40GB with Win XP installed
19GB hidden partition (Recovery - from factory)
Is anyone has some idea who to solve this problem or make install XP from the beginning without problems?
Thank a lot!

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

HP Envy 700-430qe DT CTO - - - Trying to dual boot with Windows 7

HELP HELP HELP
I know how to set up double boot for several different HP computers, based mostly from what I have learned in this great forum, but this one has me stumped.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on this computer to double boot with Windows 8.1. I have tried to set the bios up correctly, enabled legacy, disabled secure boot, disabled fast boot. I booted under UEFI to get in to GPT mode, still no luck at all.
The installation always goes all the way through the first 4 steps and through most of the 5th. After the reboot in the 5th step, it stops and can not go any further. A message appears without any error code.
I think it may be a problem in this computers UEIF settings, but I do not know if anymore of them to try.
I can use all the help you all can offer.
Thank, Brad
PS, If we ever get this to work, then I will have to ask you where to find drivers for this model, if they exist!

Hi Brad,
According to the information that you posted you have a W8 delivered PC.
If the graphics card in your PC can run in legacy mode then you should be OK.
I suggest that you use a separate HP for W7 as you will probably run into partition placement issues when you try to install W7 to the same HD. Installation to the same HD is not impossible but you will have to remove some partitions such as the recovery partition and then resize the "C" partition to make room for W7. You should be able to use Disk Management to delete partitions and resize the "C" partition.
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media as it will be needed. Backup your data to separate external media.You should also consider installing the HP diagnostics to an external flash drive.
Boot in the BIOS and set the BIOS to legacy mode and fast boot off. Save the changes on exit.
Now boot up the external recovery media (don't select the EFI media if shown) and reload your PC with W8.
If your PC boots up and runs OK then you should be good to load W7.
If you are using a separate HD for W7 then unplug the original HD. If you don't then W7 will install a boot manager to the primary HD.

Biege G3 won't boot with OS 9.2

I purchased a biege G3 MT with OS 8.6 on eBay. Unfortunately, the OS is in French. I upgraded that to OS 9.2 and now it won't boot. No chime and it stops after the first icon during startup. It won't boot with extensions off nor with the CD. I tried resetting pram, etc. without any luck. Loaded it with 8.5 and it works. Took another HD with 10.2 from another biege G3 and it works. It just doesn't like 9.2, but I have 9.2 running in another biege G3. Are there G3 that won't work with 9.2? Please help.
biege g3 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi elpro,
Here's a bunch of stock responses you'll hear on the G3 forum.
Is the 9.2 CD a universal installer (gold color), or a gray machine-specific CD, and if it is gray, is it the right one for your machine? Apple made gold CDs for general retail to work with all machines, and gray ones that were usually distributed with a machine with the components just for that machine. Unless you have a universal installer CD, the version of OS 9 you are trying to install may not have the right components for your system unless you happen to have one that matches your type of G3. If the 8.5 CD is the right one, and the OS X you say is from an identical machine then that may explain why they boot up but not your OS 9.
If you post your problem on the G3 forum you'll almost be sure to get this question. How old is the battery in this machine? G3s exhibit all kinds of weird and unexpected symptoms when the batteries are weak, and they go through them pretty quickly, especially if they have been unplugged for a long time. The battery helps preserve basic machine configuration information between bootups so if you're having problems with your monitor it might even be related to the battery. If in doubt, replace the battery.
The PRAM reset and extensions off are the other stock replies but you've tried those.

Dual Booting With Windows 8?

So, I found this guide: http://www.neuraladvance.com/2012/11/17 … -uefi-lvm/. While I've ran and used Arch before a few times, it's been a while.
The problem is that the guide decides to use the Windows 8 partition itself to install Arch; what I would like to do is use my own partition for Arch, making it as independent as possible from Win8, and both booted with Grub. I've already wiped everything and reinstalled Windows 8 first, however I'm a bit confused as to how to properly setup a UEFI partition. Period. Are there any good guides on how to do this? The Dual Boot article on the wiki, unfortunately, wasn't very helpful in my case.
While I have the latest snapshot already on USB, it doesn't boot properly, not allowing access to /dev/tty (i.e., I can't do anything). Also, I unfortunately can't use GParted Live since none of my DVDs are rewriteable; they've already been used up over the years. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how best I can approach this (or good resources which are to the point; i.e., not too much details to wade through), it would definitely be appreciated.
Thanks.

By "the Windows 8 partition," it appears that you're referring to the EFI System Partition (ESP) that Windows created -- /dev/sda1 in the referenced guide. I've only skimmed the article, but I didn't notice any reference to using any actual Windows partitions in it. Note that the ESP doesn't really "belong" to any one OS; it definitely is not a Windows partition. It is, as its name suggests, a partition that "belongs" to the EFI. It's meant to be shared across OSes.
That said, if you really want to, you can create multiple ESPs. This is legal according to the EFI spec. Unfortunately, it can cause problems, since the Windows 7 installer gets very confused if it sees multiple ESPs and an installation of Windows 7 will fail. I don't know if Windows 8 has the same problem, but if it does, and if you find that you need to re-install Windows, having multiple ESPs will complicate matters. Thus, I generally recommend sticking with one ESP per disk if at all possible. Be sure to keep it backed up in case some ill-behaved program trashes it, though.
