MOVED: i need help to net boot p1 laptop

Toshibas are pretty good.
If you're not doing heavy 3D work, you probably just want to find a system with:
Reasonably fast CPU
Plenty of RAM (4GB or more)
A good display (For photo editing work I STRONGLY reccommend a display capable of 1080p, frequently shown on specs as 1920x1080, or greater.)
I would NOT reccommend doing photo/graphic design work on a 1366x768 display (most low-end and mid-grade laptops and nearly everything BB sells - In fact the BB versions of many models are the ONLY ones that are 1366x768, such as the Asus G51vx-RBBX05 vs. all other G51vx variants)

The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW. You must turn on hidden files/folders in your operating system to find them.

Need help with fixing msi gt683 laptop

Hello. I have a GT 683 R that i bought a couple of months back, i recently did a factory restore on it and afterwards i didn't have the disk to finish the process, so i started messing with the settings and everything i reset the raid to non raid and now i'm stuck on a screen that says "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key".
I tried using the recovery again and it wouldn't even boot to that menu, i hit F11 to try to boot from disc but all it does is go to the reboot and select proper boot device screen.
I need a lot of help on this because i'm not really good with computers.

if you switch from AHCI or IDE, back to RAID in the BIOS (by pressing DEL when the MSI logo appears on the screen, and going to "advanced options")
does it boot into the recovered system ?
switching into/out of RAID mode, requires you to use the RAID setup screen to configure the RAID when it's installed, by pressing ctrl + i when you see the RAID screen just after the MSI logo screen on booting up each time.
as for recovery, you may have more options depending on if you break the RAID, or if you have a backup of windows 7 or a way to copy the ISO to a USB. or just put in the recovery DVD's (mine weren't too helpful)
i.e. http://forum.notebookreview.com/msi/672814-need-help-installing-ssd-gt683r-raid-0-a-2.html
switching out of RAID mode is tricky because the controller makes small changes to the HDD's so they are recognised as RAID.
typically, windows won't let you see the drive if the flag is set, but you can wipe the setting out using backup/clone software or low-level tools that bypass the normal windows settings to blank the drive.
or you can use the RAID setup screen to remove the drives from the array, which is quite a lot faster and less effort, but you will lose all the data on the drives in both situations when switching from RAID, to 2 drives.

I need help with the boot setup in BIOS

I am trying to reinstall windows 7 back onto my sister's laptop, The BIOS Version is 3.5
I went to the boot order to put the cd/dvd rom in the first boot order and then the notebook hard dive second, selecting f 10 to save and exit. When the computer boot up to go through it process, it goes to a screnn saying that boot device cannot be found, please install a window operating system (3F0) Going back to the BIOS and setting the BIOS to default, selecting f 10, save and exit. Goes through the boot up getting the boot device cannot be found.....
Again I go through the BIOS to the boot order and moving the cd/dvd rom first and the notebook hard drive second and selecting the f 10 to save and exit. Anyway, I still get Boot Device Cannot be Found, Please Install a Windows Operating System (3F0).
Can someone please help me or is this a lost cause.

Hi,
Rather than setting the boot priority in the bios menu, try the following and see if there's any change.
Remove the installation dvd and shutdown the notebook.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.
Insert the Windows DVD.
Select the Boot options menu ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and hit enter. You may also get a prompt to 'Press any key to continue' - do this if asked.
Regards,

[SOLVED] Need help with rEFInd boot entry for rsync backup

I made a successful backup my arch install to an other internal SSD disk (from my HDD).
But now I can't figure out how to make a boot entry for this drive. The wiki only mentions GRUB, which I do not use.
This is the fstab for my HDD:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda5
UUID=c1822e3c-e037-4445-bdd8-b71778237dee / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda2 LABEL=SYSTEM_DRV
UUID=D2DF-9F74 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
And this is the fstab on my SSD which I edited:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sdb1
UUID=c61a1301-4728-465d-b40b-bde5e084eb50 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sda2 LABEL=SYSTEM_DRV
UUID=D2DF-9F74 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
But I'm not sure about the /boot entry, do I need something else here?
Afterward I tried updating rEFInd by reinstalling using refind-install, but that did not work.
ps. I dual boot with Windows.

I also tried adding the menu entry manually by editing refind.conf but that didn't work. I got:
Invalid loader file!
Error: Not Found while loading vmlinuz-linux
Here is some additional info:
refind.conf:
menuentry "SSD Arch Linux" {
icon /EFI/refind/icons/os_arch.png
volume "ArchSSD"
loader /boot/vmlinuz-linux
initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
options "root=/dev/sdb1 ro"
I hope this helps.

I Desperately Need Help - Can't Boot my iMac

Greetings Everyone. My apologies for making my debut on this board with a desperate plea for help but I think I just killed my iMac right in the middle of an important project. I'm accessing this board with my laptop PC (and you know I'm in a bad way when I have to revert to anything PC!)
I was trying to move some photos from iPhoto onto a CD. One photo would not move - computer said it was 'busy.' I couldn't delete it or anything so I force quit to see if I could start over.
The machine did reboot okay, so I thought perhaps I should try to restart in in OS9 (Im using 10.3.8 or 9 (can't remember and can't boot to confirm.) because I read somewhere that sometimes rebooting in OS9 will correct whatever has 'hung' in X - for lack of a better description.
Well, that's when it crashed. When I try to boot it the entrance sound makes its bong and the the light blue screen comes on and just sits there and does nothing, no matter how long I wait.
I tried to force boot it by holding in the start button until the list of instructions came on the screen. Tried typing mac-boot as instructed, and nothing happened. I tried three times. Then I tried shut-down and it did shut down.
That's as far as I can get. I hold in the start button until it makes a beeping noise, then it bongs, then the blue screen comes on and just sits there.
Have I fried my machine or is there any hope?
Can you tell I'm just about frantic???
Thanks for your patience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I live in a fairly remote rural area with no Mac dealers within 200 kms - so I'm really stuck on this one.

Tried a few more tricks and finally got it to boot.
I held down the P R Apple & Option keys and waited for the second chimes. Nothing happened.
I disconnected everything but the mouse and keyboard and tried rebooting again.
Lo and Behold it worked.
I think the HP printer cable might be faulty, but don't know for sure what is actually going on.
This whole problem started because my printer suddenly died. I tried to remove then reload the software but kept getting the message that no device was attached, even though it was.
So I decided to save all my hard drive info onto CD's then reload the system software. Everything came to a halt when I couldn't delete the 'busy' image.
So for now, I'm back in business. Whew!
If anyone has any idea what on earth is going on I'd sure like to know. Do printer cables just go bonkers for no reason? And why would an image from iPhoto be 'busy' when I tried to delete it. Is that image doing something naughty that I need to know about?
I think I need a nice cold beer!

Need help please! boot camp related

Im in desperate need of help.
Heres the story:
I partioned my drive to 100 gb windows (xp home), with about 131 gb for Leopard.
I followed the prompts during the installation, until i got to the screen listing the available drives for installing windows. The only drive that came up was the 131 gb one, which was the Leopard-dedicated section with all of my data on it.
I restarted the computer several times to no avail. I still just had the 131gb option come up. I did click on the 131 gb drive option (out of desperation i guess) but when prompter to install, i quit the application.
After restarting the laptop several more times and trying again, i took out the xp cd having given up on the whole thing. Upon doing so, a blank white screen came up, which after about 10 seconds turned into a dark screen with a white flashing line at the top left hand corner.I tried restarting and waiting but nothing worked.
Ive browsed some other forums and found out that by holding the 'opyion' key at start up you can switch between drives. When i tried this, it only gave me one drive to choose from, which was labelled 'windows'. I clicked on it and got the same white then dark with flashing line screens.
In serious need of help, if ive lost all of the data on that leopard drive im royally screwed.
Hopefully that was comprehendable, any help will be appreciated greatly.

I had exactly the same problem a few weeks ago (with a XP Pro SP2), and as you did, and being as desperate as you were, I also clicked on the 131 drive option. The result was : start-up drivers were broken, so the machine had to go back to Apple care center and I got it back three weeks later. All my data were lost, they even had to change the hard drive. Strange thing was I didn't have to pay anything for that (whereas I did recognize that this was my fault for I selected a wrong partition). So I guess Apple is now experiencing some problems with Bootcamp… Anyway you shall never select any other partition as the one wich is named "Bootcamp". Otherwise you can overwrite all your OS X soft and this can be some sort of nightmare. Sorry. When I got back my iMac I tried again (with 70 GO for Windows that time) and the same things happened ; but this time as I saw only one partition I just quit the whole thing (F3 key) and got back to OS X, and re-opened Bootcamp to get back to a single Mac OS partition. No problem… but no Windows. I think we'd better wait for further info from Apple. Perhaps we can also try with 32 Go partition and FAT format and see what happens then (I think I will try this). Or buy a Vista and see what happens (NTFS format required but automatic, so it seems to be easier).
Did you try to install XP or Vista ?
Good luck
Regards.

Moved Songs, Need Help Matching them up the fast Way

Hi,
Recently i organised my "ITunes Music Folder" with different genre's of music to help me keep it organised because i seemed to never be able to find anything. Once i had moved all my music into various genre folders and then artist folders within them i knew what i dreaded was coming. I didn't wanna have to inport all the files again from the new location because then it would lose "The Play Count" and have ive named them in ITunes. So i have been doing this.
Clicking on song then right clicking "Get Info" then Yes. then My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name > Then eventully finding the song.
This is a extrememly slow process when you have over 2000 songs to match up and i remember a long time ago although i forgot say if your matching up a album instead of going into My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name again it would allready be in the last place i was at so i could just click the song so matching a album would be much faster then going through the long way.
The problem is when i match up the song now i have to go through My Music > ITunes > Compilations > House > Artist Name every time.
Any Advice or help is greatly Appreciated.

Nicko102,
There is not a fast way to match them up when you have changed the folder structure that iTunes uses to organize its database folder of iTunes songs.
However, if you reimport them, while you will lose play count, the names you have assigned the songs in iTunes is written to the file's ID tags, and should be retained.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

MOVED: I need help

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252610.0

lasnow,
Try this.
1. Take all of your music files (that play) and move them to your my music folder.
2. Once the songs are in that folder, go into iTunes and delete all of your songs from your libary.
3. Now select all of your music in the my music folder drag and drop into iTunes.
4. Once iTunes is finished importing your songs, go to Advanced>Consolidate Library**
**When you consolidate your library it takes all of your music and places it into the iTunes music folder so it will allways run out of the same file location.
Hope this Helps,
DJFX

[SOLVED] Need help setting default boot device in bios

I have two harddrives S0 and S1 my windows partition is on S0 and my archlinux and grub is on S1. The problem is that I can't set the default boot device to S1 only S0. I have to F8 everytime I start up. Is there a way to set S1 as my default boot device. I tried searching this on google but I couldn't find any relevant posts
Thanks,
Shrub

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I have never heard of the term "S0" and "S1" for drives. Perhaps you mean sda and sdb.
Go into the BIOS, choose your equivalent of "Hard disk priority", move the drive that you want to boot first above the rest of the others, and then exit by saving the settings (usually F10). That should do the trick. Alternatively, you could open up the case and move the SATA cables around, but be careful if you use "sdx" name conventions in /etc/fstab.
Thanks for the reply
I made up S0 and S1 for simplicity. sda and sdb makes more sense I suppose.
My BIOS does not recognize sdb in the priority menu, I'll try moving the SATA cables.

Satellite A200 - need help with USB boot

Hi to all,
I have a startup problem with my Satellite A200.
I am booting from my USB key. It is bootable Linux to install the tutorial is this:
Insert the USB key or drive you want to boot from.
Restart the computer.
During startup, when prompted, press the appropriate button to display the "Boot Options". Usually it is F2, F8 or F12 (be displayed on the splash screen).
In the boot menu, select the drive to boot from.
The computer will now boot from the USB key or the first disc to change the boot priority back to boot from the hard drive. Perform the procedure again, but to choose the hard drive in step 4 the computer will now boot from the first hard disk.
My problem just part shift to the right that when it restarts with the USB key plugged remain frozen and Toshiba screen is displayed but it does not load anything.
F2 I want to access the BIOS it makes me please wait but nothing happen. I'm nothing like 1hr wait for F12 boot selections except that all boot are marked exceptions to the FDD one on which I want to boot.
So I find myself facing an impasse because for Toshiba loads must be connected to nothing which is silly because I want to boot on my key.
If someone has a solution...

I check everything has nothing to report ...
everything that was to change on this pc is memory ram replace a 2gb because before that I had 256mb ram memory so not much ^ ^
yes he in the bios (f2) I fdd but by regarding the boot menu (f12) I unfortunately do not have fdd :/
missing entry fdd me in the start menu :/ there no means a small file download is placed on the hard disk to show the "fdd" entry?
Here is my menu (f12):
internal hard disk
CD-ROM
LAN
I even tried to run as my key with each entry in cases where but after a few seconds it gives me windows vista: (
my pc probably lack a forgotten entry in the factory or whatever ^ ^
if someone has a solution ^ ^

Need Help HP DM3 (DM3-1130us) Laptop will not power on. No power at all except for light on a/c jack

Hello, I need some help.
I have a HP DM3-1130us Laptop that will not power on at all.
the only thing that happens when I plug it in is the power jack lights up.
When the power button is used absolutely nothing happens.
No power, no fans, no leds, no on/off cycles, no beebs, absolutely nothing
just the light by the power jack that says the cord is plugged in.
The laptop has Windows 7, 320gb hdd, 4gb ram.
I have tried new power adapter and still nothing.
I have taken the battery out and tried and nothing.
I've tried the option where you take the battery out and hold the power and nothing.
I have tried with different hard drive and no hard drive and nothing.
I have tried reseating the ram and tried new ram modules still nothing.
So I am kind of stumped on what to do, the laptop will just not turn on.
Its not under warranty anymore so cant send it off.
It has not been exposed to any elements(extreme heat or water).
and its never been dropped or anthing.
Im kind of wondering maybe the power button board its self is bad?
If feels fine, its not loose or anything but could it
have just stopped working? for those who are not familiar with this model.
the power button is on the side and is a kind of drag and release button.
Its also on the same board with the Wifi button and 2 Usb ports.
But Im wondering before I buy a new one if this is what it could be.
Or could the motherboard its self be bad?
But even if the motherboard is bad would it still power up
just not post?
Also does anyone know of any other way to try to power this laptop up
without using the slide button. I mean kind of like off a Dv6000 you can power the laptop on by using the Quicklaunch buttons on top but this laptop does not have those.
If anyone can provide any information I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Hey Tyler,
Unfortunately it is difficult to troubleshoot this type of issue. The majority of the time when the computer wont power on with the same symptoms you described, the power supply board is faulty. Most of the time if the motherboard is bad it should at least turn on or so some signs of life. Like I said, this is most of the time. Sometimes it could do exactly what your experiencing. I would suspect the power supply board has failed since you are not receiving any sort of lights, sounds, etc.
You could check the motherboard for swollen capacitors or loose solder joints but sometimes you wont be able to find anything.
I hope this helps answers your questions,
Sean

Need help placing photo image in laptop screen of a video...

I have footage that is both zooming and panning, and need a photo image to fit within the laptop screen space during the duration of the pan/zoom. Should I use "Track Motion" accompanied with key-framing in 2D? Does this make sense? Is there an easier way to achieve this, or is that the way to go?
Here is a rough take of the clip of which I speak. In reality, we will be placing the same image on both the HDTV and the laptop in the shot. Hopefully, this will make what I have said above a little more clear. Hope you can help. Thanks much.

If you have CS4 then I would recommend using Mocha for AE (a planar tracking software from imagineers system that comes bundled with AE CS4). It's basically designed for the kinds of stuff you described. There are some helpfull tutorials on the imagineer systems's website:
