Lenovo Y510P Boot Failure Error

I have a Y510P which is less than six months old and I have been fighting a losing battle with it over the last couple of months.
Whilst I am very pleased with its construction and performance, when in use it has started crashing, ever more frequently leaving a blue screen with the error message;
efi network 0 for ipv (28-d2-44-5d-4c-29) boot failed
If turned off and on again, it will reboot and work but anything between an hour an 24hours, it will crash again.
I have read and tried a couple of the suggested fixes on this forum such as making sure that the HDD is seated correctly and ,making sure that the BIOS is reading the HDD (which is is at the point of booting up but obviously it drops it at some point).
Is there anything else I should be trying before I assume a HDD fault and contact customer services?
Thanks in advance for your help!

hi paullacey,
Welcome to the Forums.
From youro observation, it's possible that there's a problem with the HDD or its connection to the SATA port on the motherboard.
Things that you can try:
1. When you get the efi network 0 for ipv (28-d2-44-5d-4c-29) error, try to boot right away in the BIOS and check if the HDD is detected.
2. Check the lenovo Individual Diagnostic Tools and run a Storage and Motherboard test and post the results here.

If you get errors on one of the tests above, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as you may need to send the unit for service.

Boot failure - 'Error loading drivers' Extensions.mkext - Read error 0x7

Hello,
I have a user with a Macbook running Leopard. (I'm not sure which version.)
When the machine boots, it fails while trying to load Extensions.mkext. This seems to happen early enough that Safe Mode would not help.
Ideas? Is this a physical read error on the drive?
Regards,
-Travis

+Is this a physical read error on the drive?+
Probably. Boot from the installation DVD and check the disk using Disk Utility. If DU doesn't report an error then run Apple Hardware Test (it could be a memory problem..).

Lenovo G550 Boot up error

Hello everyone.
My laptop doesn't seem to boot up properly.
When I turn it on, it goes through the motions. The loading screen comes up and everything but after that I get a black screen with a movable white cursor.
I've tried starting it in safe mode but the results always the same.
I've tried restoring it twice and the system restore window pops up so I know it's not a problem with the screen.
I've performed a chkdsk but that hasn't done the trick either.
Any help would be appreciated.
I reinstalled AVG last night. Maybe the installation was corrupted?

When you state:
"so I had to install XP on another drive"
do you mean another partition on the existing drive,
or replaced the drive with another physical drive?
There is a hidden service partition on the drive
which xp setup will not delete. You should find software
to "zero" the drive (totally erase by writing zeros)
and then you can create partitions when you run the XP install.
Of course, if you zero the drive your recovery partition will
also be gone, but it is probably unuseable now anyhow.
Once you get a clean XP install, with no partitions other than
what YOU create, boot time should improve.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Hi,
Have a boot failure as above. Laptop purchased 02/23/11. Bios date 02/14/11 Verson F.26. Product ID XZ298UA#ABA. Serial{Removed for privacy}. Need to replace hard drive?
Thanks.

Hi,
You could try removing and then re-seating the Hard Drive, but it does appear to have failed and will need to be replaced.
Your best option is to contact HP and arrange to have the Hard Drive under warranty.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

Windows 8.1 update problem on LENOVO Y510P

Hey guys,
Can't find anything similar to my problem and exhausted my options on this, so decided to ask. If it has been answered I couldn't find, so please point me out on the right direction.
Back history:
Have a lenovo y510p
Bought caddy & SSD drive and installed it onto laptop
Couldn't find a good doc about how to proced so my idea was
1-restore factory settings,
2-Copied the Windows C: partition and the SYSTEM_DRV partition to the SSD using Macrium reflect
3-Went on the BIOS boot order and set the SSD to boot first.
4-Voila, works fine, boots C: on the SSD and it's super fast.
Problem:
Windows 8.1 update can't install on C:. Bummer
I receive a notification saying that I can update to windows 8.1, which I want to do.
1 Hit ok to download,
2 it starts the update process,
3 finishes installing,
4 says it needs to restart
5-RESTARTS TO THE OLD DRIVE, changing the boot order on the BIOS (**bleep**???)
I then check that nothing was installed even on the old drive, proceed to shut down computer, change boot order back to SSD drive, start windows and receive a message that it couldn't be installed and it has reverted the installation.
Has anyone ever experienced that?
My idea now is to
Back up my computer again
Restore factory settings (on old drive)
Install windows 8.1 to old drive
Clone windows partition over
Change BIOS to boot up on SSD.
HOWEVER my question is: What happens when I want to install Windows 10 ? Do you think I'll face the same issue?
Should I somehow format the old drive's windows partition to prevent this from happening ?
Any help is welcome and I thank you all in advance,
Cheers

Did you erase the recovery partition on the old drive? My best guess is to create recovery discs or thumbdrive take the old drive out and put the new drive in and use the discs or thumbdrive to restore the system. Then run the updates and then copy your personal information from the old disc to the new disc.
As for Windows 10, I do not know if they are going to be doing a clean install with the update to windows 10 or doing an in place update so it is hard to know what problems you will encounter.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 BOOT Failure on HP ProBook 450 G1...

Dear forum viewes and experts...
I hope you can provide me with your insights on this problem i am having...
I bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G1 (i5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB ATI Graphics card). The laptop comes with DOS free operating system.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate from ISO file on a USB stick, and then activated the Windows.
After updating all drivers and having a clean device manager with no hardware left as unknown, i figured out that the laptop fails to make a cold BOOT.
After several trials, and installations. the problem remained the same. I changed the installation to Windows 8.1 Pro and the problem remained the same.
On cold booting, the laptop after showing HP logo in start-up starts to show Windows Logo animation but in Super Slow Motion for about 6-8 minutes, then followed by strange sounds which force me to shut it down by pressing power button for long until it shuts down.
After huge number of trail and error, i found out that if I entered BIOS Setup (by pressing esc then F10) and then exiting it without doing any changes or even without saving, the Laptop boots Windows 7 very smoothly (in about 15-18 seconds) and works fine. it also can make endless number of smooth restarts without any problem.
If it is shut down then turned on, the boot failure is the outcome.
The only way to make a successful cold BOOT (i.e after a shut down) is to enter BIOS setup mode (by pressing esc then F10), then exiting it within seconds without changing anything or saving, then it boots smoothly.
I tried MBR fixes through command prompt in Recovery Mode, I tried to change booting to make it boot as LEGACY or UEFI Hybrid. The BIOS is updated to the latest frimware on HP website verion 1.2 dated 15 July 2014.
NO HELP.....All lead to the same disappointing result.
Any idea whether this is a hardware issue/software issue/BIOS issue?
Your insights will be highly appreciated

Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter

I have been experiencing an intermittent disk boot failure for the last few months on my HP Pavilion Slimline PC. At first, it would occur once every week or two, typically when the computer would boot up after being in hibernation. After turning off the computer and turning it back on, everything worked normally. Within the last month, the failure began occurring with more regularity.
This week, I started receiving the error every time the computer would boot from hibernation. I went into the BIOS and saw that the system was not recognizing the hard drive. I tried changing the boot priority to boot from the HDD first, but to no avail. Today, the system worked as usual until I performed a restart, and it has yet to work again. Additionally, the performance has taken a nose dive over the last week (slow processing, programs not responding, etc.).
System Specs:
HP Pavilion Slimline s3710t PC
250 GB SATA Western Digital HDD (Caviar Blue)
Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor
Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit)
3GB DR2-800 MHz SDRAM
I have read through many technical forums, including HP’s, and followed all of the advice. I have again changed the boot priority to HDD first, restored the default settings, etc. The only drive I can find listed is the DVD drive on the unit, which is listed as the second drive. There is no first drive listed in the main tab of the BIOS CMOS Setup Utility.
I attempted to run a system recovery, but it is not even possible. Upon running the diagnostics, it of course mentions that there is no hard drive connected. Upon entering the boot menu, it also only lists the DVD drive.
My next course of action was to remove the side panel and reseat the connections on the hard drive, as well as the connection to the motherboard. This was also unsuccessful, and I have not been able to boot up the computer again today.
The computer itself is 1.5 years old and this is the original hard drive that shipped with it. I have never opened the computer, prior to today. The symptoms started a few months ago, just outside of the warranty period.
Based on the forums I have read, it all signs are pointing to a bad hard drive. This is hard for me to believe, as the computer is relatively new and does not get much use. The use it does get revolves around email and Internet access, as well as use of Microsoft Office.
As you can imagine, I am not happy about the prospect of having to buy a new hard drive, as well as pay for the data recovery on the original drive. I hope that someone at HP can come up with a better solution, as a 1-year life on a hard drive is pretty pathetic.
Thanks,
JR

HI JR,
You situation does not sound good if the PC doesn't recognize your hard drive.
Boot into the bios and run some bios hardware diagnostics.
Try clearing the CMOS.
Try this procedure:
Unplug the PC and open it up. Clean out all the dust. Carefully remove and replace all the cables going to the motherboard one at a time. Do the same for the memory dimms and the video and sound cards if you have any. You might want to buy a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the CPU heat sink. Plug your PC back in and give it a go.

Several questions regarding an upgrade or replacement hard drive. Short dst failure error.

HP Pavilion DV6z-2100
Windows 7 64-bit
Short-DST failure error
1) I'm wondering if I can upgrade my hard drive to a 1TB and/or a 10,000rpm instead of the 500GB 7200rpm. Would there be any problems for either upgrade? What effect will the rpm's have (5400/7200/10000) and how do I decide which is best for me? Can I change from HDD to SDD? Can I change brands? What size (in inches or cm) must the new hard drive be? (See hard drive info below.)
2) I believe I can access (and open) all my files on the failing 500GB HDD. I want to install a second OS (Ubuntu) on my new hard drive, and I think the best way to do it would be to put Ubuntu on another partition. How would I go about copying my files to the new hard drive without losing any data and keeping my Win7 license? How would/should I partition the new hard drive? I can boot Ubuntu via a flash drive--can I make a Win7 recovery disk if Win7 won't boot?
3) How urgent is getting my files off the short-dst error hard drive?

Boot failure: Digital signature not found

Just bought a Toshiba Satellite C885D-S5320 and it was working great. Packed it up this morning, unpacked it a few seconds later and tried to turn it on. Got a message that reads "Boot failure: a proper digital signature was not found. One of the files on the selected boot device was rejected by the Secure Boot feature."
I didn't make a recovery disk but tried to use the hidden recovery feature I'd found out here. Worked great to abou 76%, then that message came up again. Help???

I bought the same computer from Walmart for my daughter for Christmas. I have had to send it in three times to have the hard drive fixed as it showed the same error that you were getting. I was very mad as the first time I had to pay $25 to have them ship me the box to send it in to them. I also tried at first to return it back to Walmart but was told it was to late and I would have to go through Toshiba. I just received it back again today. They have had to replace the hard drive three times. This is ridiculous as I have had several other computers and laptops and have never had to have a hard drive replaced before. I told them I was not paying the last two times to send it in for repair as it should never of had to go to them the first time. The girl did send me the box free the last two times but honestly I think they should just give me a whole new computer as I think these ones are lemons! I cannot believe a brand new computer would need to have a hard drive replaced 3 times in 5 months! The girl advised me if it had to go back again they would probably finally do something. I sure hope your is working better then mine.

Boot Failure From Previous Device...

My computer has been out of commission for over a year now, and I finally bought a new hdd and some ram for it today.
My mobo says K8T Neo MS-6702 V.1 i'm not sure if that specifies what it is, but I don't have the box anymore.
I bought a 500gb Barracude from Seagate and jumped it to make it 1.5 and installed everything and when I turned it on I got the message "Boot Failure From Previous Device".
I tried taking the battery out of the mobo, letting it sit, and putting it back in and turning the system on. Then I set the boot sequence to Floppy, then the hd, and it still gives me the message.
I'm a completely idiot when it comes to computer problems before the operating system starts, so dumbing it down would be appreciated.
I've searched the error message and either I couldn't understand what to do, or the problem wasn't like mine.
I'm basically doing a fresh install of drivers, OS, and everything.
I start the computer up with the SATA driver in the floppy drive.

To install a fresh OS you need to have CD/DVD as 1st boot, not floppy, you should not need the SATA/RAID floppy if you are only going to use SATA drive with no RAID.
If your manual (or if you don't have one) doesn't have instructions for BIOS settings then you can download the PDF version here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=588
To gain access to BIOS when you 1st power up PC start tapping on 'Delete' key.

Boot Failure Issues

Thanks for any help that may come of this question. I'm not very fluent in the technical nitt gritty of computer hardware/software, but I've been using computers for years and I catch on quick. This goes for the "boot" problem I am getting.
My sytem crashed the other day after the northbridge cooling fan failed. I just finished replacing my northbridge cooling fan with a Vantec Iceberg and I tried to start up the computer. I did have to partially remove the motherboard to do this, so I had to disconnect several cables include the hard drive. I do believe, however, that all cbale s have been properly reconnected. When I power up, I see the color MSI logo pop up, it then appears to start "booting up", or whatever the next process is called. In doing so it gets to a point where it says:
Client Mac Add 00 0C 7615 4C E6
No Boot filename received
Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter
Not knowing what to do, I found a floppy MSI Bios Update Disk that I had made at some point and inserted this ( a mistake perhaps?) It flashed the bios, finished its work, and the problem still persisted. At one point I was able to get into a screen that appeared to show a boot order, and it had the CD ROM, another drive (forget which one), and LAN. But I did not see the hard drive listed. Am I correct in assuming that the issue is that the motherboard is trying to boot up the sytem, which it would normally do from the hard drive, however it cannot locate it?
I have started the process of searching these forums, and I found one that seemed to have the same issue but I had a little trouble understanding what they were getting at. Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

BOS, thanks for the help. The corrective action wasn't quite what you outlined, so hopefully you'll read this and just confirm that my actions were okay. I entered into a screen (forgot how I got there, F8?) that dealt with arrays. What is an arrary and what is the significance? One of the boot messages had mentioned that there was no array defined. So in this screen I defined the 1 array as my hard drive. And that was it. After that the system would load into windows? Was this a correct action to take? Because the BIOS had my HDD0 as the first boot source, but the error still persisted till I defined an array.
Also you asked me what the temp was. I don't know how to locate a temp specific to the northbridge chip. My PCAlert 4 shows a CPU temp of 50C and the system temp is 39C.
Also, in the manual for the motherboard, I noticed a FAQ that said you shouldn't connect a Vantec fan directly to motherboard because it draws to much power. So I connected right the PSU. This however, prevents PCAlert4 from being able to monitor its speed. Is this a problem? Is there a way around it?
Last thing, regarding my post to the fan thread, do you see a problem with the fan only set up on the chip?
Again, thanks for all the help.
"BOS, thanks for the help. The corrective action wasn't quite what you outlined, so hopefully you'll read this and just confirm that my actions were okay. I entered into a screen (forgot how I got there, F8?) that dealt with arrays. What is an arrary and what is the significance? One of the boot messages had mentioned that there was no array defined."
yep thats other possiblities, for some reason your fastrack was lost array and need to be reconfigured. after seening the message: "No array defined" you should press "CTRL+F" to entire in a utility and to re-setuped like you already do. you have done correct.as boot priority HDD0 or SCSI.
"What is an arrary and what is the significance?"
SATA disk on your mainboard will be recognised only when its defined in array via Onboard Promise Controller.

you can use Everest to observe it: (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=100852.0) Example:

that is the correct way. no FAN RPM monitoring is not problem. you have done best.

nope should be fine if NB temp remain acceptable, if temeperature is normal. but with other copper vantec base should be lowest. basicly if your NB temp is good/low there is nothink to worry.
you are welcome mate.
