Macbook pro : error loading operating system

So my problem is an interesting one. This was setup with bootcamp with xp and oxs 10.4 originally if I recall correctly. So I went to go back into the mac side and it failed to boot. I couldn't find my boot cd for some time so she sat. Then I found a 10.5.1 disk and she'd boot with it but couldn't mount the hard drive for tests or anything. I was able to wipe the drive and then mount it. But doing so wiped my mac partition, and the disk I was loaned wouldn't do the install so I went down to the mac store to buy brand new copy of now leopard... Got home and the drive don't recognize it. There is a dvd drive in this macbook pro, and I can through in an xp cd and it reads it fine but the funny thing is that now it also will no longer read the 10.5.1 disk I used to get to disk utility before. It just kicks it back out. So anyone got any ideas? It will read an xp boot installation cd. But not a brand new snow leopard or even the older 10.5.1 disk it was just reading fine. Thanks again in advance for help.

You need to locate your System DVDs that originally came w/your computer. You cannot use System DVDs from one mac to another because they are _*machine specific.*_ More than likely, it is probably the reason why the retailed purchased DVD did not work.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

Error loading operating system (windows 7)

Macbook pro 8,2 (early 2011)
Samsung SSD 850 evo primary drive
OWC electra 3G secondary drive in place of the original DVD drive (with disk doubler).
My original HDD was removed for the two SSD configuration.
It contains two partition (OS X and Win 7 pro) and everything works fine.
I use Winclone to clone Win 7 partition to the new OWC drive.
My OS X partition was placed on the primary Samsung drive.
OS X works fine.
Win 7 works fine when i use Parallels Desktop (virtualization).
But when i try to boot with Win 7, i have the " error loading operating system" black screen.
I cannot repair Win 7 with the installation disc because when i try to boot with the DVD, i have à black screen with a white cursor and nothing happend. (original DVD drive is used in usb, inside a dedicated external cradle).
Here are some of terminal commands :

Thank you for your help !

You are creating a new protective MBR, not a Hybrid MBR. A protective MBR encapsulates the disk into a single entry the size of the disk so legacy partitioning tools leave it untouched to 'protect' the GPT.
In your case, since disk1 has only two partitions, GPT1 and GPT2, you should have two entries.
Here is an example, where GPT3, 4 and 5 are hybridized.
Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR.
Use defaults for other questions (for example Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): AF).
Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
P (Print list of parts)
R   (Recover)
H (chooses Hybrid)
Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 3 4 5
Y (Good for GRUB question)
N (part 3 boot flag)
N (part 4 boot flag)
Y (part 5 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
P (Print list of parts again)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot
Please ensure that the following questions get appropriate defaults or correct values for the MBR hex codes as suggested by Gdisk. These are examples using a standard, your partition numbers will have a differential of 1. Given the prior Gdisk steps, your mapping will look as follows
GPT1+2 (EFI+OSX) = MBR1 (You lose read visibility to OSX from Windows).
GPT3 = MBR2 (Recovery HD).
GPT4 (Shareddisk) = MBR3 (Shareddisk)
GPT5 (Bootcamp) = MBR4 (Bootcamp - This should be made bootable).
You can create variants of which partitions get mapped to which MBR). If you use 2 4 5, then Recovery will look like Free Disk space to Windows and can be corrupted. If you use 4 5, then EFI+OSX+Recovery HD will end up in MBR1. Try and see which works the best for you. In this configuration, I would also recommend not using any third-party NTFS tools.
The following is an example for 2 3 4
Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): AF
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n
Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AB): AB
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): n
Creating entry for GPT partition #4 (MBR partition #4)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): 07
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): y
In your case the steps will become...
Sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
P (Print list of parts)
R   (Recover)
H (chooses Hybrid)
Partitions numbers to be hybridized: 2
Y (Good for GRUB question)
Y (part 2 boot flag make NTFS bootable partition)
P (Print list of parts again)
W (Write the new MBR)
Y    (Yes! write the new MBR)
Reboot
After the reboot, check the output of sudo fdisk /dev/disk0.

"Error loading operating system" in windows 7 bootcamp

Hello, Im trying to boot up my windows 7 and its giving me "Error loading operating system". But the wierd thing is from Mac OS X i can access my bootcamp without any problem "browsing it", all my music is on it actually. Any solutions guys?

Hi guys,
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am suddenly having a very similar problem and maybe one of you can help me. I have searched the problem using many different phrases but have not found a solution to my specific issue anywhere so I turned here.
Problem : I am getting the "Error Loading Operating System" error on the windows side after trying to boot up using BootCamp.
More Info / History : Everything was running fine until I updated OSX to 10.10.02. I have an unsupported card with no EFI : GTX 980 so I couldn't tell what was going on with the update but it just hung in black screen for a while and then when into an infinite restart-loop. Sooooo, I pulled the card and put my old GTX 120 with EFI back in to see what the **** was going on and miraculously it decided to finish the update. (Maybe it had something to do with the unsupported card? IDK) The update finished successfully after i swapped out the cards but I fear i screwed up something by restarting during the update (I was hung up, I waited a very long time before hitting the power button). OSX is running ok, I put the other card back in and it is working ok now, but... BootCamp was working... once. Then I restarted and it wouldn't work, I got the error message. So I tried doing a verify/repair disk on both drives, OSX and W7, and that didn't do anything, so I tried to start BootCamp assistant and I couldn't... So I reset the PRAM and that fixed the problem with BootCamp Assistant, so now that starts up, but I don't know if I can repair the issue with it? However I still can't boot into Windows. Again, when I hold down option on boot, I do get the menu (BootCamp?) to choose which OS to go into. Side Note, when I pick Recovery Mode from that menu, I get the mac error message and it restarts.
All the W7 Files are still present on the drive... Is there any way I can back up the image, re-prep the drive for BootCamp and re-image it to repair it? All thoughts, suggestions, etc. welcome.
Hardware:
• Upgraded 2009 Hex-Core Mac Pro flashed to 2010
• OWC PCIE SSD - OSX 10.2.2 installed here
• nVidia GTX 980 - EVGA
• 1TB HDD - 1 Partition - Windows 7 installed here (Bootcamp)

"Error loading operating system" in Boot Camp/VMWare OK

Hi, I'm getting "Error loading operating system" followed by the pc blinking _
when I try to boot directly into Windows XP Pro using the option key at startup now w/ Boot Camp. But the partition works fine when using VMWare Fusion from within Mac OS X.
It used to work fine booting both into boot camp and VMWare. Any ideas, I'm pretty stumped here....
Thanks!

But now I get an error loading operating system after fresh install of XP Pro, Computer formats drive copyies files and restarts like itis supposed then Operating system is lost? Can you help me?
Xtiansdomain

hey Xtiansdomain,
i do hope that you created recovery media via One Key Recovery. If you did, use that to recover your system.
however if no recovery media was made, get in contact with the support crew via : http://bit.ly/LNVsuppNum

Error loading operating system- windows xp/windows me

Hi,
So, I have a Hp Pavillion 9715 desktop with windows xp professional and basically yesterday I turned on my computer and all it would do would go to the black screen saying "error loading operating system"
Now I'm not really sure what tp do I was going to reinstall window xp, but i dont how to do this as i don't have the cd and the computer wont even power up in safe mode. I then realised that my computer's operating system is windows millenium edition, which i havs the recovery cd for. i could use this, but id lose all my data. i was wondering if there was a way to save or transfer all my files to a different hard drive. Or if there was a way to use the recovery cd to repair everything without me losing all my personal files, or would this not work because it would be windows me that is reinstalled and not xp?
If anyone at all could help me id be so grateful, its quite annoying/upsetting. Thanks

Wow! Your PC is almost as old as my (1996) Compaq 14XL244 Notebook.
It still works, but required hard disk replacement about six years ago. I suspect you will have a very hard time getting any files from your IDE hard disk. You can try putting the hard disk in an external enclosure and connecting it via USB to another PC.
The error message that you are seeing means that the BIOS can no longer recognize the hard dive.
It is probably time to consider updating to a more recent PC. You certainly got plenty of good service life from it.
Kind regards,
erico

Can a macbook pro run windows operating system?

I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.

"Error Loading Operating System" Message on startup. Need Help~~

Hi Peoples,
I got the "Error Loading Operating System" message when restarting widows. Been pulling my hairs off the past few days looking for solutions, but with no dice. anyone have a solution??
I think the problem occurred when my computer got crashed, so I forced to turn off the computer buy hitting the power button, the next time I started the computer and it gives me a "Error Loading Operating system".
I have tried the recommendation from Microsoft by updated the bios. Didn't work.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326676
Other solutions that recommended from varied resources, recommanding to set the drive from LBA to Large. But I don't see that option in the Bios setup.. maybe because my HD's was setup as RAID 0?
and other recommended to use a startup disk boot into DOS and use the fixboot/mbr to fix the mbr. But when I tried to boot with a startup disk I can't seems to find my C:\ (which is the RAID 0). How can can boot to the into the RAID?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Specs of my computer
CPU: P4 3.0
Mother Board: 875P Neo-LSR/
Graphic Card: Nvidia Quadro FX 1000

HD: 2X 80 Seagate SATA Drive Configured as RAID 0

Hey Stu, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think the bios is configured correctly and the Raid is configured as the way it use to be.
About the crashed, last time when I shutted down widow, using the Shut down button in the Start Menu, Window got got freezed and the power is still on, due to frustration I hit the Power button to turn off the computer, the next day I turn on the computer, and it gives me the error message.

PS: Is there a way to boot into the C: (Raid 0 drive) Using Dos? or maybe I can check the files is still in C drive? If the files are there, means the drives are OK? and Maybe I can use the "Fixboot" the problem? Please advise, again thanks for your help.
Thanks.

Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system 10.6.8?

Can I put OS X Yosemite on my 2010 macbook pro with current operating system OS X10.6.8? I just bought a new printer and it requires minimum 10.7

You cannot get Mavericks because it has been replaced by Yosemite. Your machine will work just fine with Yosemite, but you don't have to upgrade if you prefer not to.
You should always maintain a backup. Hard drives fail, data are lost. A backup is a security blanket for your data.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
     used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
     requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
     drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
     capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

"disk read error" and "error loading operating system"

Hello,
I have a problem with my N100 0768 BSG with Windows XP system. When I turned it on there was a lenovo screen with a sign: "to interrupt normal startup press lenovo care button" as usual. But after that instead of Windows loading there was a sign: "disk read error". I rebooted it, run rescue and recovery and started recovery proces.
However after about 20 minutes of recovery process, I saw a blue screen with some error and I could only shut down the computer. When I turned it on again, there was lenovo screen and after that I saw: "error loading operating system". I rebooted it but now I can't even run "rescue and recovery".
I downloaded some diagnostic programme from lenovo site, burned it on dvd and run on my lenovo. When it was doing "Surface scan test" of my hard drive, there was an error: "Error : Found uncorrectable data error."
I thought about buying rescue and recovery cd from lenovo but I heard that they do not sell it in Poland.
Please help me.
Sorry for my English.
Solved!

If you have a dual core processor and 2 GB of RAM you will have no problems running Windows 7. You can check the microsoft hardware compatibility site to find out for sure.
Why 32 bit over 64 bit?
Unless you are doing an application like Video rendering or using a Digital Audio Workstation you probably won't notice any performance difference. Most applications today aren't written to take advantage of a 64 bit OS. This will happen over time but for now - you just don't need it. The 32 bit OS will be more compatible with older peripherals like printers and other devices where the manufacturer may not have built a 64 bit driver. Also when you get the upgrade disk you will get both versions so you can start with the 32 bit and always upgrade to the 64 bit at a later time if you really need it. You can only address a little more than 3 GB of RAM in a 32 bit OS but that is usually overkill for most applications people use. A 64 bit OS will allow you to address more memory but you will not gain any performance increases unless the specific application you run is written as a 64 bit application.
I have also found certain older applications that don't work with the 64 bit OS. So it really depends on what peripherals you are using and what applications you tend to use. The safe bet is to go with the 32 bit version.
If you decide to use XP just burn a copy of the XP disk and then you will have one the next time you need to reload. The licensing has nothing to do with the media - it is all about the license you own. Your license key should be on the bottom of your laptop.
Hope this helps.

Re: Satellite A300 - Error loading operating system

Hi, I have a laptop satellite a300 and when I boot the system I get an error message 'Error loading operating system' - if some kind poster can help me on this matter it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Do the BIOS recognize the HDD? Check this in BIOS.
Can you boot in safe mode?
If you can go in the advanced boot menu, choose repair my computer and select the Toshiba recovery option. This procedure reinstalls the OS.

P2vhd and error loading operating system

I used p2vhd to create a windows server 2003 server to a vhd file. I have done in this in the past wihtout any issue but it seems this time when i load the vhd i get the message. error
loading operating system. Any idea why this is?

Hi KirkSH,
I am assuming that you are using SCVMM to achieve P2V .
And the following article indicated that server pack2 is required to install into
server2003 when you try to do P2V :

Also it is recommended to use windows server 2003 with sp2 as a VM in hype-v 2008/R2 and hyper-v 2012/R2 .
For details please refer to following links :
