Mac OS X Server DVD - Can not boot

Unable to boot using Mac OS X Server Eval DVD. Any help is appreciated.
(Dell Intel HW meets requirements for OS X installation.)

Simple. Mac OS only runs on Apple hardware. Buy a Mac if you want to run it.

    Hi
    I have a dvd stuck in the drive and as I can not boot is there a way of removing the dvd ?

    Boot with the option key down.  You will see a window showing all the bootable systems.  Select the OSX boot and hit return.  Once you are booted into OSX, use the Startup Disk system preferences to change your default boot volume.

    What can I do to boot?

    Restart with the Option key held down.
    If the internal drive shows up, it's the PRAM battery.
    If it doesn't, insert a compatible Mac OS 9 or X install disk, click the button with the circular arrow, and either repair the internal drive or install a new OS on it. If it doesn't show up in Disk First Aid(9) or the Disk Utility(X), it's either not plugged in or needs to be replaced.

  • Imac 21" mid 2011 can not boot from USB device?

    Hi,
    hope someone can help me.
    Bought the new imac 21" and replaced the superdrive with a ssd drive.
    Works great but it seems that the imac is not able to boot from any usb device.
    I put my osx install disk in my external dvd drive and powered my mac.
    While booting up (pressing cmd) the mac does not recognize my external dvd drive. This works great with my MBP late 2008. But the imac can not boot from the dvd drive. Also pressing "c" while booting does not work. Doing that a grey screen appears and after some time mac boots from hdd.
    So i installed mac os via target mode over firewire withbmy old imac. This works.
    But now i want to install windows on a bootcamp partition.
    I can't boot from the windows 7 professional dvd, too. So i tried to create a bootable win 7 thumbdrive. Mac can't boot from this too. Reading many threads in some forum i tried with rEEfit. Reefit shows the usb thumbdrive whike booting, but using this will end in a black screen error from bios: "no bootable device....". Tried a knoppix on the usb thukbdrive, too.... No bootable device....
    It seems that there is no way to boot from ANY external usb device like dvd drives or thumbdrives......
    What more can i do? I tried for 2 evenings now, but nothing worked out for me......
    Currently i don't see any any to install win 7 without an internal superdrive, but can this be??
    Thanks for any comments.
    Kwicks

    Internal is definitely the easiest but you can boot from external HD or external optical drive, the mac is just very picky on what works and what doesn't.
    For an external drive or usb stick it has to be GUID partition table and have 10.4.5 or better installed on it, for more info check this link out ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 )
    Hope this helps,

  • I have lost my cd's and screen became gray i can not boot what should i do?

    Hi all
    i have lost my cd's and screen became gray i can not boot what should i do?
    i have tried to reset Vram
    tried to run safe boot
    but nothing happends
    i have a macbook pro core 2 duo 2GB ram 160 gb hard disk

    Use the computer your on now to download and burn a ISO of PartedMagic to a cd.
    In Windows 7 you can right click on the downloaded ISO and click burn to disk, other Windows versions use the free ImgBurn software.
    In OS X you can burn the ISO using Disk Utility.
    Hook up a external drive to the target Mac.
    Stick the PartedMagic disk into the Mac and reboot holding option and c keys (I forget which one works)
    Use the first option (default) to load PartedMagic into memory (watch out the disk will eject!)
    Once in PartedMagic there is a Mount Drive icon on the right, doubleclick it twice to open two windows (three total) you can now transfer your files after mounting the disks/partitions using the two open file windows.
    Unmount the drives before using the "Start" like menu in the lower left corner to quit PartedMagic.
    If your Mac works with all this then your in good shape, you just have a hosed operating system and a $29 Snow Leopard install disk (c boot off of it) and a Disk Utility Erase (with Zero Erase preferred) and a reinstall of OSX Snow leopard will do the trick.
    If your computer boots off the PartedMagic cd, but you can't find/access the internal drive, then your boot drive is dead and you need to replace it or have someone replace it for you.
    If your computer doesn't boot off the PartedMagic cd, then it's likely a serious hardware issue.

  • Can not boot from OSX disc

    I recently partitioned my internal drive with an 80 gig partition to run Ubuntu , removed Ubuntu and now can not resize hd to recover the 80 gig that I used , there was a program with this Ubuntu install called rEFIt that was installed for the dual boot , My problem is that Itunes keeps crashing and I have spent somewhere around 8 hours trying to fix this issue and in the process I discovered that I now can not boot from the osx disc but I can boot from the Ubuntu disc , what can I do to correct this issue or is there anything that I can do to correct this and recover the 80 gig that I used ?

    The only solution was to erase hd and restore from time machine backup......
    According to everything that I have seen , read and tried when you partition the mac hd the way that mac is designed it will lock the hd thus preventing any access even using the startup disc to repair. As far as restoring everything after the erase and reinstall of the OSX that was easy and painless. FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT BACKUP THEIR DATA THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD!!!!
    Once OSX is reinstalled the migration assistant will ask if you want to restore from a backup , if you have time machine or any other sort of backup simply choose the one you wish to restore from and continue , must admit I was a bit hesitant at first , I must say that everything restored with the exception of some settings that I have had to restore but they were not major settings  , after the backup is restored simply run update check and reinstall all updates , may need to do this a couple of times.
    Depending on the amount of data you have will determine the length of time for restore (500 gigs about 6 hrs.) but it will restore user account settings , connection settings  and network settings.
    Hope this will help if anyone has experienced the same problem.

  • I can not boot my MacBook Pro. How do I get and save the data that is not backed up??

    I can not boot my MacBook Pro running on Lion 10.7.4. I pressed control, comment P and R keys and O got to the disk utility, then I tried to repair disk and it can not be repaired. I get a message that tells me to back up as much data as possible ?. But if I can not open the computer how can I save my data??
    I have a back up until 2 weeks ago on time machine. but the work of the last 2 weeks is extremely important how can I get it??
    If I use m time machine backup do I loose the additional data of the last two weeks!,
    Please help.. It's a huge amount of work that I have done and can not loose it

    If it were me, I'd get a new hard drive or SSD and put it in an external enclosure. Boot into the recovery partition, format the new drive (not the old one) and install the OS to it. Shut down the Mac, open it up, and swap the drives. You may be able to read your data from the old one externally if you're lucky. If you're very lucky you may be able to use Migration Assistant to move all your stuff to the new drive.
    Look at ifixit.com for the exact procedure to get to the drive on your model. If it's a unibody it's pretty simple.

  • Unsupported chassis type 52, system can not boot

    I'm trying to get a spare Sup. V engine module operational in a 4507E and get the above message when it try to boots.

    You don't have the right IOS version to meet the minimum requirements for this chassis.
    See the following document
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps4324/product_data_sheet0900aecd801792b1.html
    Table 5 lists 12.2(40)SG as the minimum IOS required for a 4507R-E chassis and 12.2(54)SG as the minimum IOS for a 4507R+E chassis. You only have 12.2(37)SG1 on your engine, hence the lack of boot.
    Upgrade the IOS via ROMMON (slow and painful, but it'll work) and re-try.
    Cheers.

  • [SOLVED] Can not boot after mishap with clonezilla

    Hi
    I was trying to back up my computer with Clonezilla. It kept telling me that the drive I was trying to back up (the only hard drive in my laptop and only has Arch Linux installed on it) had a GPT and MBR partition table. I thought that this was odd so booted back into Arch Linux and loaded up gparted and it said that the drive was MBR. So I ran clonezilla again and it said about a command to run to remove the GPT if you are sure that you are using MBR so I went ahead (stupidly) and ran it thinking that everything would be ok and now I can not boot back into my Arch Linux. I just get a black screen with GRUB and a flashing cursor. I think the command that I ran was either:
    gdisk -z /dev/sda
    or
    sdisk -z /dev/sda
    I'm not too sure and I should have written it down or researched it first. (That will teach me.) I have booted the computer from a Knoppix DVD and can see all the partitions on the drive (root, swap and home) and also read all the data. I have tried to reinstall grub (install-grub /dev/sda deom the Arch install cd) but this has not worked. I hope that as will most things Linux I can fix this. Please can you point me in direction I need to go to fix this?
    Thanks
    Robert

    Hi
    I have fixed it. I ran testdisk from Knoppix and let it write out the partition table again as MBR then reinstalled grub from the Arch Linux install CD by doing the following from with in grub:
    root (hd0,0)
    setup (hd0)
    Lesson learnt. I'll read and research before just blindly running commands again. Thank you all for reading.
    Thanks

  • Can not boot to external drive

    Hey there
    I have a MacBook2,1 running 10.7.4
    I am trying to create an external boot drive but I can not boot to an external drive.
    If I mount an install disk to any drive I have it will not boot to it. If I select it in startup drive or option boot it will not work.
    Please help. need this fixed ASAP

    Drive Preparation for Lion
    1.  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. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting is complete quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button. When the installer begins it will default to installing on the Macintosh HD volume. Click on the link below to Show All Disks. Locate your external drive and select it as the target.

    Hi--
    Can you list the steps that lead this problem, please?
    The drive offline message is a symptom of some kind of connection or underlying hardware problem.
    If there were no system changes that lead to this problem, then I would look for connection or hardware issues.
    Thanks, Cindy
