Install OS on a new drive

Due to a spindle failure, i have had to replace my HD on my laptop. This is a new 320Gb drive.
I am trying to load an perating System onto it, but the system bypasses the CD-DVD drive and shows the 'Operating System Not Found' message.
The CD-DVD is 1st in the Boot Order in BIOS.
I think I need to load basic drivers on this hard drive to see the CD-DVD to get the option to boot from CD.
Device = DV9823em
OS = tried both Win XP and 7, both real Microsoft licenced CD/DVD
Any ideas would be appreciated

With the disc in the drive, and the notebook turned off, press and hold F9 while you press power button, continue to hold F9 until you get a boot options menu, select the cd/dvd drive and press enter, you may get another message shortly after  "press any key........."   hit enter key a few times when you see it, windows setup should start.

  • Can't Install Snow Leopard on new drive

    I'm having a relatively serious problem with upgrading my hardware. I have a Mac Pro tower with an empty HD slot into which I installed a new drive which mounts properly.
    My plan was to simply move everything from the old hard drive to the new one, using Disk Utility's "Restore" function.
    That seemed to work fine, but when I restarted and attempted to switch startup disks, selecting the new drive caused an immediate kernel panic (the grey screen saying "You need to restart your computer") which was preceeded momentarily by some very strange dos-like text in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
    So after several attempts, I gave up and tried to simply install snow-leopard on the new drive. That never even got started. While the snow leopard installer would happily install the OS on any of my external drives that had enough free space, the new drive (despite the fact that it was mounted on the system) would not even show up in the list of drives to select in the Snow Leopard installer.
    I checked the formatting of the drive, and it seems to be the same as both my current startup disk, and the external drive that the OS could be installed on.
    How can I move my entire system to this new drive without causing instant kernel panics? Thanks in advance for any help!
    Cheers,
    Ari

    Interesting. Yes, I think that is what macjack had in mind. However, after doing what macjack said, your drive would be erased Mac OS X extended (journaled), and, after shutting down disk utility, you could just continue the install you would have started. At the end of the install, you could restore your files, data, settings, and apps from your other drive. The choice, of course is yours. If I were doing it, I would perfer the first alternative.

  • Old HHD failed, how can I install an OSx onto new drive?

    My old stock HDD failed, and I had to replace it. I have time machine on an external hard drive, and am using it to communicate here. However, when I try to install an OSx (Mountain Lion) onto my new drive, it says: "Cannot install OS. Contact AppeCare." I used disk utility to make sure it says Mac OS Extended (Journaled). What can I do?

    Try this:  Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys.  The display should result in a picture with a revolving globe.  If you follow the directions, this will connect you to the Apple servers.  You then will be able to install the original OSX that came with the MBP (Lion).  Do not forget to format the HDD in Disk Utility>Erase (to Mac OS Extended (Jourrnaled)) before installing the OSX.
    If you had Mt. Lion on that MBP, it should be in your App Store account.  You may download it from there.
    You will need a solid Internet connection.
    Ciao.

  • How do I install bootcamp on the new drive that I installed with the dvd drive adapter

    Hello, I have a macbook pro mid 2012 13 inch, I have just earned some money, enough to buy a SSD, and I happily went to the store and bought a samsung evo 840 120gb SSD. My plan was to clean install windows 8.1 on the SSD, I already had bootcamp on the 500GB HDD with windows 8 that came with the mac, so I backed up the important files from the windows partition. I deleted the partition, and restored it to the mac's partition (which I was going to partition again after the windows installation is complete for the storage for my windows partition) I made a installation usb with the iso I have made with bootcamp assistant, and waited. After that was done I restarted my computer holding the option key, then I booted into the EFI boot partition, and went through the process, entered the serial key, and agreed the thing, and then  when I did the format it said it couldn't do it, so I took it out put it in an external hard-drive case, then I plugged it into my windows 8 laptop, then I opened command prompt, then I typed "diskpart", then after the administrator thing popped up, I clicked yes, then in the diskpart prompt, I typed in "list disk", and my SSD was disk 1, so I did "select disk 1" then I typed "clean" Then I went into the drive manager, then a thing popped up saying which one would I choose between MBR or GPT so I selected GPT, then made a new NTFS partition on the SSD, then took it out, then I popped it back in then went through the installation, until the actual installing part where after copying files is done, this pops up "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code 0x8007045D" So I downloaded a torrent because I had thought that this was corrupted, and downloaded a torrent from a website, and downloaded the iso, and I tried and the same error, again and again of taking out the drive from my computer to format it and putting it back in again (since there was some files made on the SSD) so I had decided that I would download a windows 8 torrent, then I did then it couldn't even start, so I want to install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro, on a separate drive in the the DVD cage (not external, internal), would there be any way to do it, please help!

  • Installed LR4 on a new Drive in old computer. Imported old cat, but no history, presets. sigh.

    Installed LR4 on a clean new HD / OS (Win7 Pro) computer, imported 90k + images from a 4 disk JBOD using a Library copied from the old C Drive, which was placed in My Pictures.
    Now I have no history (DNG) or any User (develop or import) Presets, plus, my keywords are scrambled.
    I copied the entire Library onto the new HD, pointed the import at the LR 4 Catalog-4 because it looked to be the most recent (there are others).
    All images are there, with most recent adjustments showing, but no User Presets in Develop or Import. Plus, I use Reick's Controlled Vocabulary, and it's all scrambled up.
    I could start again from scratch, but can't find clear instructions on how to do so.
    Any advice? I have the old C drive and can access it from a HD dock.
    Tom Meyer

    Latest permutation... I got another computer. (reposting as a new topic, please go there to leave any comments)
    Did fine with matching Library and all the files that are on externals, matched up  fine with ratings and flags intact, collections are good... but the develop User Presets! NOTHING!... and even when I go to the Develop User Presets (on the old computer) in App Data (I'm Win 7 Pro), there is only ONE user preset there, when in the active Develop Module (v4.5), I see and can use 26 different user presets that I REALLY want to keep.
    What is the problem here? Why is this so convoluted and difficult? Where are my d___n presets? sigh.

  • "You must restart your system" error when installing Tiger on a new drive

    While trying to install Mac OS 10.4 from the install DVD the install stops during the "Basic Install ..." phase and I get a gray screen that says "You must restart the system by pressing the power button ....." shown four different languages. I restart installation over and over, it never gets past that first section. Gray screen, panic stop.
    I installed a new 200 GB Maxtor DiamondMax Ultra ATA/100 hard drive in my system. The system already had a 120 GB Maxtor. The 200GB is configured as the master and the 120GB as the slave. I have a new SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel PCI Interface (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/SIIG/SCMP4A12/) also installed.
    Here's my configuration.
    Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) 1GB RAM, Mac OS 10.4.8
    - SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel PCI Interface
    - IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 / FireWire 400 (1394A) Combo PCI Card
    - MAXTOR STM3200820A (200 GB drive, master)
    - MAXTOR 6B120P0 (120 GB drive, slave)
    I tried disconnecting the 120GB hard drive, leaving just the 200 GB on the bus and I get the same gray screen a few seconds into the basic OS install. Tried removing the IOGEAR USB 2.0 card, same message. Since Mac OS X was originally installed on the 120GB, I can restart Mac OS 10.4.8 from that drive and use that drive. Once restarted on the 120GB drive I see the 200 GB drive, Disk utilities see it just fine, drive reports no error in the Disk Utility. The 200 GB disk even formats, I see it on my current MAC OS 10.4.8 as the second drive. I just want to get Mac OS installed on the 200 GB.
    If you have seen this gray screen before installing on a 200 GB Maxtor or have any insight I would be most appreciated.
    PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) Mac OS X (10.4.8) SIIG Ultra ATA/133 2 Channel controller, 200GB Maxtor

    Hi Frank,
    With all that additional third party hardware it will be difficult to get a proper installation. You can either take out ALL 3rd-party hardware (just leave the 200 GB hard disk in there, but also take out the 120 GB) or you can simply clone the system from the 120 GB disk to the 200 GB disk. You can do that with utilities such as Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

  • Best way of going about re-installing arch on a new Drive?

    I'm moving from a magnetic Hard-Drive installation of Arch, to installing Arch on an SSD.
    What I'm mainly concerned about, is about the best way of re-installing everything from scratch.
    Regarding home directory I can just copy it.
    But regarding installed packages from official repositories and AUR -
    Is it advisable to find a way to list all packages to a text file, then use that text file as in input to pacman and yaourt on the new installation in order to install everything?
    Did anybody here already faced this problem? I'm afraid of reinventing the wheel.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    you can use

    to list packages that are explicitely installed and are not required by any other packages and make a file of this list.
    Generaly, this list contains everything that you want to keep and more.
    After that, you can script something to pipe every line to pacman and adding --needed to avoid reinstalling anything.
    Explicitly installed packages which are dependencies of others will not appear in that list and thus lead to a different set of install reasons. The command should be pacman -Qqe instead. The safest way to do this is as follows:
    old system
    pacman -Qqen > explicit_native_pkgs.txt
    pacman -Qqem > explicit_foreign_pkgs.txt
    new system
    pacman -Syu - < explicit_native_pkgs.txt
    random_aur_helper ... $(cat explicit_foreign_pkgs.txt)

  • My drive failed and I need to install CS6 to a new drive letter

    Every time I try to reinstall CS6 the installer selects the old location, which is not there and so it has zero space.
    Install fails.
    Installer does not allow me to change the location.
    The location of the temporary files is ok. I changed that with no problem, but after the extracting and the actual installation, the install location is unchangeable and wrong.
    how can I change it?

    It seems like the installer is still picking up traces of the product that were installed earlier. Please try the following two links and suggest if that worked or not.

  • Installing on new drive and copying files to it

    I have a Macpro with a 500GB drive running 10.5.4 that contains the OS, applications and my media. I would like to put either a 1TB or 2TB drive into it and put Snow Leopard on it and transfer all of my data and files (almost 450GB) to the new drive.
    1.) How do I install the new OS on the new drive after I swap it out with the old one?
    2.) What is the best way to copy all of my media and files to the new drive after the OS is installed?
    Thanks.
    Message was edited by: rick.pearl

    Put the new drive in and keep the old one as well.
    Boot from the SL DVD and install it on the new drive.
    Once you boot in SL for the first time, use the Migration Assistant to transfer your stuff. Point it to the old drive.
    You could also clone your old drive on the new drive using Supper Dupper and then upgrade to SL. If it was me that's what I would do, because I don't like Migration Assistant. But it's your choice..

  • Installed Leopard on new drive, now can't uninstall CS3

    I deactivated CS3. Then I installed Leopard on a new drive and it moved over all my stuff from Tiger, including CS3. Of course, due to the idiotic policy that allows you to run 2 copies, but not on the same computer, it won't start. Then when I went to uninstall CS3 using the proper uninstall in Utilities, I got a message that says "System Requirements Error - This software cannot be installed because the file system of the OS volume is not supported". What the heck is that? I have NO way to uninstall CS3? Why the restriction on two copies on one computer anyway? What if your current drive fails unexpectedly? How do you deal with that?

    I have a perfect copy of the boot drive elsewhere on my system. I can boot from it in an emergency. But Adobe tells me that the copy of PS CS3 on that drive is not supposed to work. I called because I had the problem where it dies instantly as soon as you start it. I know the copy was good because I just tested that yesterday, again, during my song and dance to get PS on a non case sensitive drive. PS came up and ran from the spare drive I used as an intermediate Leopard > spare > Leopard. I didn't activate it there but did as soon as I was back on the modified Leopard drive and it's fine. I would say from my previous experience that if I were to boot back to spare and try to start PS, it would now die instantly because it's the second copy and hasn't been activated FROM THAT DRIVE. If I try to activate it I'll get some garbage about too many copies - I don't recall what they said exactly. The gist of it was 2 copies, 2 computers - fine. 2 copies one computer - not OK.
    You say you had 2 copies activated on one computer? How? In my experience, the second copy dies so fast you couldn't get to activation. I'm not doubting you, I'm genuinely curious how it can work. I'm on a Mac Pro, if that's of any import.

  • Fresh Windows 7 Installation on new drive -- LR3 questions

    I bought a new SSD drive that I intend to use as my Windows 7 boot drive.  I will do a fresh installation of Win 7 and reinstall all my applications.   Lightroom 3 is currently installed on my older conventional drive in the C partition.  That old drive will become a data drive.
    1. As far as I can tell, all I need to do for LR3 is export my existing catalog to a temporary holding location (like a USB drive), install LR3 to the new drive, then import the catalog into the new installation.  Is that all it takes to get me back to where I am now?  I assume I will also need to re-register LR?
    2.  My SSD is smaller than my current C: partition so I want to limit it to Windows and required program files.  I'll want to keep all data on a different drive.  Some Windows programs, by default, store certain user data on the C drive.  As far as I can tell, LR3 doesn't store user data on the C drive by default.  It just stores the required files for running the program on C, and stores user data in locations specified by the user.  Is that right?
    3.  Are there any other considerations, specific to LR3, when reinstalling the OS and the program?
    Thanks.

    Assuming your original image files are on a seperate drive to the boot drive then Copy or Move your catalog file (and the preview folder if you wish) to another drive, no need to export it. Just copy it back to whatever location you want once finished and open it from the new instillation. On no account re import files that are already referenced by a catalog. When you re start LR it should find the original files if the drive paths to wherever they are located remains the same, if not right click and relocate the files/folders.
    LR stores the catalog file and previews data on whatever drive you specify when creating the catalog. It will default to the C drive unless you say different. The locations of preferences files, templates etc. are by default on a windows installation at user/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe on the C drive. Obviously the image files themselves can go wherever you wish.
    It is usually best to locate the catalog on a different drive to the OS and applications where this is possible. However if your SSD drive is large enough the performance gains from having the previews on the SSD may outweigh the performance gains from having them on a separate drive, it rather depends on how much space you have on the SSD.

  • I purchased mountain lion from apple but never got a disk. How do I install it on my new hard drive, old hard drive failed and is not recoverable according to Apple and Recovery Specialist?

    I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with newly installed SATA HD + SSD, I can get mavericks download free but I can't recover photos, apps, files etc from time machine (1TB Time Capsule), I think I was running lion when I started backing up on it but I had updated to mavericks before the HD Failure. When I tried to transfer info from Time Capsule it says " no volumes detected" or something to that effect. I had mucho info backed up on that capsule. Any help appreciated, please spell it all out for me if you can help, I am not at all tech savvy and desperate to get up and going as I am an online student with a fast approaching deadline for course paper. Thank you in advance :)

    Step 1: Buy a new Hard drive that can be installed in your MacBook Pro later, and an External enclose to place it in for now.
    The MacBook Pro before 2010 can not contain the stand-alone firmware to go to the Internet and get a fresh copy of Mac OS X and install it.
    You will need a working Recovery_HD, or to drop back to a 10.6 DVD (if it will Boot on your Mac).
    There may be a functioning Recovery_HD on your existing Boot Drive. If you were running 10.7.4 or later and Time Machine, there may be a Recovery_HD on the Time Machine Volume.
    To check:
    Hold down the Alt/Option key as you restart. This will slowly draw a gray screen and then add an Icon (over several minutes) for each potentially-bootable volume. If any Recovery_HD shows up, take it, and you will be able to get to Internet Recovery and re-download some version of Mac OS X that can be installed on a new drive.
    It is generally far quicker to set up a new drive and install Mac OS X than to struggle with only the primitive tools available only on a DVD or a Recovery_HD. Once you get any version of Mac OS X running, you can get some work done and attempt to salvage first your data, then your drive (if either will be possible).
    By NOT trying to Boot from and use the possibly-damaged drive, you improve your chances of being able to salvage some files off it, since blocks will not be over-written by running Mac OS X from it.
