How to Recover Window 7 Booting after a Yosemite 10.10.2 Reload

I was working with Apple Technicians to solve a problem that showed up with Yosemite 10.10.2 . They finally gave up and asked me to reload the hard drive with OS X 9. . I reloaded using Time Machine backups. Everything worked and I let Apples software update program update the operating system to 10.10.2 . In the process of reloading, I lost the ability to boot to Windows 7. The window icon never comes up when you boot with the option key depressed.
The bootcamp partition shows on the desk top and the files are apparently good. My question is ' Is there a way to recover booting to Windows without destroying the bootcamp partition?'
Thanks

If you can post the output of the following Terminal commands, a prognosis can be provided.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
For "sudo" commands, you will be prompted for your password, which will not be echoed back. "sudo" will also warn about improper usage and potential data loss resulting from such "abuse".

How to recover from no-boot after unsuccessful software upgrade?

I have an Intel Mac Mini running 10.4.6. I did one of the larger software updates (a security update for Intel, I can look up the details at home if necessary) that requires a reboot. The machine crashed during the upgrade. After turning it back on, it no longer boots.
I'm not sure exactly what went wrong during the upgrade. I think the upgrade had completed and was waiting for a reboot. I walked away from the machine, someone else logged in and the system hung for them, forcing them to power cycle.
I have tried various boot-time keypresses; none of them work. The only way I can get the machine to boot is if I connect by firewire to a different machine.
What are various recovery steps I can try? Is there a way to back out of the update? Would disk repair work? Is there anything I can do short of a reinstall of the OS?
The usual Googling hasn't turned up anything specific. Thanks for your help.

I had not tried booting from the install disk.
I tried booting from the install disk while holding down the 'C' key. This allowed me to reinstall the OS and restore my old user settings. My machine is back to the way it was. Thanks.

How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

How to recover Passwords Plus data after installing Lion?

While waiting for DataViz to rewrite the app, get another hard drive and install 10.6 on that; re-start from there, you can then open Passwords Plus. Use whatever method you like to copy the data. A bit of a chore yes, but I can't think of another way.
There is in the AppStore Ascendo DataVault which performs the same function. I am going to wait a week for DataViz, then jump ship.

You should order the recovery discs from Toshiba.

After you have restored the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents, you should have the recovery utilities and partitions. See the A350 User's Manual (attached) for how to recover after that.

How to recover backup user data after a restore

I had a disk fail and could not boot. while in the restore software I was able to backup user data to a USB drive. Now that I've restored from the restore partition and got it running windows 7 home again, I don;t see how to recover the user data made with the low level software. Windows back up doesn't seem to recognise it and I can't find an HP utility to get at it.
A program saved with the .wim back up files brought up an HP restore manager application that then copied the filed to my new C drive but how do I actually get it to recover them into their appropriate places and recreate users etc.
Or, should I just consider myself lucky to still have copies of the files at all? I'll not be real happy about that because it will be a tom of work to recreate everything manually even with the files.
I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution for recovering all my user data into my new restored initial image.
thanks,
-dcb

Hello dcbrower, You may be able to use the program Universal Extractor to extract the files in the .wim file.
This is a Free program that can be found at this Link. .
Just extract the files in the wim file to a location you would like.

How to recover HP recovery manager after replacing a new hard drive

Recently i've got alot of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info, and i ran a hp start up test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so i searched online and it says that it means my hard drive is failing.
im planning to buy a new hard disk. i dont have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so i wanted to copy the hp recovery partion from the old drive to the new one. i dont know how to do it, i wonder if anyone knows. i dont have any recovery disks and i dont think i can order one so i want to restore my new hdd without using disks and using my old hdd`s recovery manager from hp
i bought the computer in US but i moved to china so im assuming that i will buy a new HDD that is not from Hp ? i dont know if this will still work cause i hear that it has to be HDD from hp to work
This question was solved.

Hi,
Here's an alternative option you can use.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - ie Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

Help! How to start windows in boot camp?

I have read several posts on this but I still cannot seem to get it started. I recently bought a macbook with bootcamp set up with windows xp. I had vmware fusion on my computer to use windows but I uninstalled it because I cannot use it for the purpose of windows that I need. Now, I do not know how to start windows on my computer. I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD. The boot camp drive does not show up. So, if I cannot start windows that way...is there any other way???
THANKS!

I cannot use a virtual machine because my exam software that I use for school will not start up when using a virtual machine.
It requires DirectX 9? Huh?
I restart my computer and hold down the option key and the only hard drive that shows up is the Mac HD.
That sounds like your computer came with VM Fusion, and was not set up with boot camp. Please prove me wrong.
First, how many disk icons are on your Mac OS desktop? Is there just the Macintosh HD icon, or is there another disk icon labelled, say, "Untitled" or "Boot Camp".
Second, open /Applications/Disk Utility. Select your hard drive (not the Macintosh HD volume, but the actual hard drive, just above the Macintosh HD volume). Then click the "partition tab". How many partitions do you have. Does it show one HFS+ Journaled volume, or more than one partition and of what types.
Third, if you did see a second disk icon in step one, select it and hit CMD-I. What is its used and free space? Open it in Finder: is there a boot.ini file? A Windows folder?
Fourth--I should have thought of this first, sorry--some MacBooks have a bug that Option doesn't let you select an OS. So open Apple > System Preferences > Startup Disk and see if there is a Windows there for you to select. If so, select it and "reboot now" to boot into Windows. To boot back into Mac OS, you can either use the option key, or use the boot camp system tray icon to select Mac OS as your startup disk.
Finally, did your computer come with a Windows XP CD?

Now it gets even stranger. As suspected the configuration is correct as I now have it booting into windows.
The strange part is, all was working ok until I applied all current updates, then it went into windows recovery mode and can't find my partition for recovery (only option I have is to reboot)
Have no idea what happened, so I re-installed. Re-installed ok, but the same problem as before, no boot volume found.
Re-installed again, but this time I released the windows boot media from the virtual CDROM drive while it was rebooting.
Windows booted sucessfully.
Very Strange.

How to delete Windows 10 Boot Managers?

Boot into CLI and use BCDEdit to delete them. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Cc709667(v=WS.10).aspx

Hi
I have reinstalled Windows 10 beta twice on my test laptop. But when I install Windows 7 now it will no more boot. I will just see a black screen.

Satellite L350D - How to recover Windows?

What should i do to recover windows vista? Is there any way to have Windows Vista again on my computer without buying the software for a second time? Thank you very much

Hey,

Yes because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but everything about this is mentioned in your user manual.
