Laptop will not reboot after full recovery

Hi,
G61-401SA Notebook: Windows 7 64-bit.
I have replaced a fault hard drive and used the Recovery Disk set to re-install. All software loaded and it said to remove disk and continue to reboot.
I done this and it just comes back with – ‘No Bootable device – insert boot disk & Press any key’
I have run the recovery several times, however each time it comes up with the same problem.
Does anyone know what I can do or how to fix this ?
Thanks

 Sometimes it helps to prep the hard drive with Cyberlink Utility cd first. Download and Save the file. Once download is complete, put a blank cd in your drive and click the file to create a boot cd. Boot with this cd and wait until you get a green check mark indicating hdd is ready. Remove the cd , insert first Recovery Disk and restart the laptop.

  • Boot Camp will not work after installing recovery disk

    I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro 2012. I went ahead and installed dual ssds and used the Mac OS X recovery disk from USB flash drive. I wanted to install WIndows 7 through bootcamp. Bootcamp will not start after selecting continue. I'm not sure if boot camp is corrupted or something I did wrong.

    Well you'll need to see if that remote app has an update or if it is compatible with IOS 7.
    since you didn't state which remote app your using.

    Can you help, also when I had Vista installed the 2nd page printed upside down. I have tried to get the patch for this, but cannot find it.
    You may need to enable the duplexer hardware as described in the Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide.  There is also a link there to the patches for Vista back side upside down. When you have the duplexer enabled please post here about the results printing a duplex page.  If the back side is upside down the Vista patch can be applied.

  • Mac Pro will not reboot after Bootcamp attempted installation

    I have an older quad-core 2009 Mac Pro. I tried to install Bootcamp before realizing that it's not supported. Now the Mac Pro will not reboot.
    It starts up fine. It shuts down fine. But it just will not reboot. When I try to reboot, it just clicks like it's trying to boot to a DVD or a drive that's not there (I have since formatted the drive I was using for Bootcamp and use it for Time Machine now).
    This is what I have tried:
    - PRAM reset
    - SMC reset
    What could be keeping my Mac Pro from rebooting properly?? Please help. Thank you!!

    So you tried with Mac and Windows on same drive?
    And you have Recovery partition.
    You made a clone with CCC as well and cloned the Recovery
    Paragon makes a couple programs to make life easier.
    And, Well, Boot Camp works. There are unwritten rules. There is a forum devoted to it.
    2009 is not old. Old is pre-2008 due to UEFI / EFI64 and how Windows 64-bit now looks during install.
    It did install but the drivers and updates and such might be an issue.
    Apple does not support HFS arrays, not just that Windows won't install but to mount, their Apple HFS driver.
    You left out so much and maybe your IT didn't include Windows on Mac.
    www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    In general pull all your drives during install except that one Windows will be installed on.
    Do get video driver from ATI etc yourself
    Tell us what version, I assume Windows 8 which works fine other than a few issues - more with MacBook series and iMac or Mac Mini lines.

  • Mac mini G4 will not reboot after Onyx upgrade

    DURING UPGRADE OF ONYX INSTRUCTED TO RUN REPAIR DISK FROM MAC OSX INSTALL DISK. SYSTEM WILL NOT REBOOT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    Have you booted from the OSX install disc yet?
    With the power on, insert this disc, then force the computer to turn off by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds.
    Then restart the computer. As soon as you hear the startup chime, hold down the C key -- and keep holding it until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
    You need a wired keyboard to do this. If you don't have one, borrow a usb PC keyboard.
    Once you boot from the install disc, don't install! But instead run DiskUtility from the Utility menu at the top of the screen.
    BTW if DiskUtility can't repair the hard drive, you might have better luck with DiskWarrior -- though it will cost about $100 to find out.

  • MacBook will not reboot after problem with Address Book

    I was using AB today.... I tried to go into preferences and it quit on me. The option came up for me to send a message to Apple but that disappeared too. I relaunched AB again - same thing. The next time I tried to go into preferences the application would not respond - force quitting would not work. I had to shut machine off and now it will not reboot at all.... Any suggestions?

    I am having a problem with getting the data on want on the address label and only that data.
    ie. I just want the name of the husband and wife along with their last name and mailing address.
    IF I have the spouse listed in the contact, and children listed in the contact I get an odd label printed.
    ie. instead of John and Mary Smith 1234 Hope Street Seattle, WA 98101 what ends up printing is:
    John and Mary Smith, Mary, Bill, Susan, Tom 1234 Hope Street SEattle, WA 98101.
    All those extra names makes the label font print smaller for those kinds of contacts. Is there a way to only put the information on the address label that I want?

  • MBP will not reboot after 10.6.8 update attempt

    This post may be a bit telescopic, since I'm posting from my phone, but here goes:
    Attempted 10.6.8 update from 10.6.7 on my late 2009 MBP. It went to a blue screen and then sat on that screen with a progress wheel for over an hour. I gave up at that point and simply restarted by holding down the power button and turning back on. It then went to a gray screen with the Apple logo and a progress wheel for a few seconds and then just shut down. I repeated this several times.
    Next, I booted into safe made without any problems. I went to the list of startup programs and chose to hide all of the third party apps, then rebooted into safe mode again.
    Here is where I started having issues. It went to the apple logo and progress bar for a few seconds then just shut down. I attempted several safe boots and got the same result over and over.
    I then put my install CD in the drive and rebooted holding down C. It went to a blank gray screen for about one minute, then spit out the CD and shut down.
    I booted into verbose mode and it did a check and got several errors and then just shut down. I attempted this multiple times with the same result.
    I then booted into single user mode and ran fsck -yf. It gave me several missing thread record and invalid extent entry errors followed by numbers and one line that said "Incorrect size for file GSUIcon.icns"
    Not knowing what to do with this, I typed tail /var/log/system.log to pull up an error report from around the time this may have started. I'm not sure how to get that text to my phone, but it doesn't say a while lot. Basically that a "terminate was called after throwing an instance of 'Security::CssmError'" then "bpf_write(en1) failed: network is down". There is amlittle more, but none of it tells me what really happened. I can send a picture of the error report from my phone if anyone wants to see the whole thing.
    At this point, I cannot boot into safe mode or from a CD, only into verbose or single user mode. Thoughts?
    Thanks folks!

    MetaKine issues with 10.6.8
    MetaKine hands off,  update to 1.3.1 before attempting aninstall of 10.6.8: the old version causes a kernel panic and will notallow booting after an update.  As it loads a kernel extension,safemode also doesn't work.
    Simple solution: boot OSX install DVD, run terminal from utilitiesmenu:
    code, enter and press return
    cd /Volumes/yournormalbootdisk/System/Library/Extensions
    mv HandsOff.kext /
    quit Terminal and reboot
    Then load Hands off app, and run the update it finds.

  • Macbook Pro Will Not Boot After Full Timemachine Restore

    Hope someone can help. I upgraded my HD and attempted to restore from time machine. Everything appears to have worked well and the restoration was a success according to what the computer says. However, when I go to reboot I hear the startup sound then the apple pops up on the screen followed by a kernal panic error and the black box telling me that I need to hold down the start button and restart. I've tried resetting the pram, reinstalling from TM again and a couple of other things but it won't start up. I tried doing a clean install and it worked fine then I migrated files from my TM backup and that worked fine as well. However, that's not what I'm looking for, I wanted to get the machine exactly the way it looked before the upgrade and I thought TM was supposed to do that. I've read other forums were people have done it with no problems and am completely stumped at why it is not working. If anyone can shed some light I'd appreciate it.

    I booted with the CD and after selecting the language, went to the utilities pane and used the partition feature.
    Last night in desperation, I booted back to the CD and once again told it to do a full restore from TM. This was the third time that I had done it so far. The previous two times I had gone into the partition feature and partitioned the drive first. This time I skipped that step and just told it to restore from TM. It said if it did this it would erase everything on the drive. I agreed and let it do its work. This morning it once again, as in both previous times, said it had restored from TM successfully. I told it to restart and lo and behold, it booted and everything is just as I had it on the other drive.
    Needless to say, I'm confused but happy. I just wish I knew why it would not boot after restoring the previous two times? Maybe it just wanted me to spend more money:) I tried booting today only after I had gone to frys electronics and bought a SATA to USB cable and cloning software.
    Anyway, thanks for your help and if anyone knows why it wouldn't boot, let me know. It would be good to know for the future just in case. For anyone else having this trouble, keep trying. Third time was a charm for me.

  • Laptop will NOT Shutdown after a hard drive installation

    We have been rebuilding a Pismo from scratch basically. The last part was the hard drive which we did yesterday. It too awhile to get the computer to boot up but when it did it worked perfectly - or so we thought. After replacing all the contents of a broken iBook (cloned backup), we used it for a while and things worked fine. Unfortunately, it will not shutdown. Using shutdown ... it closes all the files and then just sits there with the desktop open. Tried several things and it just won't shut off. Any ideas?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Are you talking about the Pismo not shutting down? Or an iBook?
    Have you tried forcing a shutdown by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds? This is how to force an iBook to shut down.
    Every time you have to do a forced shutdown instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then click 'Next' at the language screen and choose Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
    Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on the hard drive.
    If it continues to have problems shutting down, you may want to try resetting the PMU.
    Good luck.

  • MAC WILL NOT REBOOT AFTER DOWNLOADING LATEST SECURITY UPDATE

    I downloaded the latest Security Update to my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard.  It downloaded but would not restart.  I finally managed to get it to boot to a bootable external drive and using Disk Utility found the HD was OK but the Preferences way out of wack.  I patched up what I could but when I tried restarting to the original drive it would not work.  I just get the white screen with a circle and stroke through it after a minute with the spinning ball.  I have tried the original start up Disk, pressing C on Startup, but it just spits it out.  I tried to use an older System Disk, one for Leopard but it will not see it.  I tried zapping the PRAM twice to no avail.  Now it won't see the bootable drive either.....
    To me it sound like a massive hard drive fail, maybe nothing to do with the Security update.  Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated though..... 
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Hello
    It seems that the update set your preferences to "use PPPOe" while you where using "TCP/IP".
    Go to "System Preferences" and enter the pane whose icon is named "Réseau" in french (maybe "Network" in english.
    Reset your settings to "TCP/IP".
