No Bootable Device Error when trying to bootcamp!

Hey guys I have been trying to bootcamp on and off for the past month or so now. Anyway I downloaded a windows 7 x32 bit iso from Microsoft's website. I then used Burn to burn it to a disc by doing: Copy> Dragging the image in> Mount and then right clicking on the image on the desktop and clicking burn to disc. Not bootcamp itself worked fine, a bit slow, but i managed to make a 100gb partition. Now whenever I try to boot into windows, I get the dreadfull "No bootable device - insert a bootable device and press any key"
I know the .iso is valid because i succesfully made a Parallels V<M with it, but parallels is too slow for skyrim.
I think its also important to note that I have using an external optical drive, since my dad got gum in it XD.
Anyways help is VERY MUCH appreciated! If you need anymore info, just ask.

Okay so I found a similar tutorial, only a little more detailed. This can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156
So I follow the instructions to a tee, but when I try to start the installation of the VM, I get a "Missing Operating System" Error.
Anyways Heres what I did:
Went to terminal and typed this in:
mkdir Virtual\ Machines
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator print /dev/disk0
Then This:
/Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskCreator create /dev/disk0 3 windows7 ide
SO I enter those right in terminal as is and hit enter. Then I search using spotlight and found two files:
windows7-pt.vmdk and windows7.vmdk
So I follow the instructiopns again and I think I might be messing up at this step:
" You’ll then be taken to the Customize Settings screen, where you want to configure the ISO to boot from. Click on the CD/DVD (IDE) option [...]
And then select the location of your Windows 7 ISO:"
SO I choose my windows 7 x32 iso FIle and just close the window. Am I missing anything?

Hello everyone,

I/o device error when trying to use windows 7 backup to an external hard drive

I have a Windows 7 operating system. The computer was running very slowly so I used the systems diagnostics at startup and received short DST failed with a failure id of 6C2NXD-53Q713-XD002J-60RL03 for the hard disk test, the start up test, the
run-in test. Each test showed memory test passed and smart check passed. In researching the error it states that my hard drive is failing or perhaps some program is causing the error. I tried removing some programs I thought may be the issue.
Didn't work.
I have tried using the Windows 7 backup but the backup reached about 67% then states backup not completed i/o device error. I am trying to back up my files to a brand new Toshiba USB 3.0 & 2.0 external hard drive with 1.0 TB/To.
I have gone to start then computer and it shows the device. It also shows some files on it. The backup fails when it it trying to do a system image as far as I can tell by reading the progress details. The Toshiba device says that it is
working fine and is already formatted to NTFS.
What else should I check or do? My computer is also now popping up with a window telling me a backup is needed before the hard drive fails. It pops up with this message at the same time I am trying to do the backup (the backup is already processing).
Thank you

Hi,
Have you performed a disk check on your PC? More details, please check here:
How to Run Disk Check in Windows 7
Regarding the i/o device error, have you received any specific error IDs like
0x8007045D?
In addition, please also take a verify to see if the external disk is Advanced Format Disks(Some types may not compatible with Windows 7):
For example Run fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo f:
to check the
bytes per physical sector
of the external disk drive.
More information, please see:
An update that improves the compatibility of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Advanced Format Disks is available
Hope this may help,
Best regards
Michael

Getting I/O Device error when trying to build?

Hi...
I'm pretty much a horrible noob when it comes to stuff like this. I'm using Ant to build an EAR for deployment to an environment. I've been doing it for a while, totally fine... but when I tried to do it today - I'm getting the following error:
Problem creating war: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error
Now, I have no idea what this means - Google isn't being a lot of help either. Is this a memory issue? Is it something corrupt in my local Javan environment?
It happens when I try to do the build via command line and through Eclipse.
The process is able to make it through the regular build portion fine - it just chokes on building the WAR.
Anyone?

Grrr... checking out Event Viewer after this most
recent restart and I'm seeing a bunch of errors:
The driver detected a controller error on
\Device\Harddisk0
Eeep.
Sounds like it might have something to do with it,
right? Yes.
There are a ton of those and then a ton more
of these:
Logical drive 1, configured on Array Controller
[Embedded] returned a fatal error on a read/write
request on the volume.
Logical block address... &c...
Does this mean a drive has failed on the box? Or just
some controller associated with a drive?Don't know and couldn't say. Either way it's bad. Find an administrator and ask them. Hopefully you have one.

My HP Desktop HD BD07 comes up with an I/O device error when trying to initialise

I have an HP Desktop HD BD07 2TB harddrive which i use in conjunction with a media player with my tv to access my video files. After watching a movie, leaving and returning home an hour later the media player no longer registering my device. I plugged it into my laptop (HP G61) and found it was coming up as a USB device in devices but not in My Computer. I tried updating drivers, but they were up -to-date. Following the advice of another post here, I went into disc management where I found it, however it was not initialised. When i tried to initialise it to (GPT?GUID? not the root file one) it comes up with a I/O device error and wont initialise the harddrive. I have gathered this means it is corrupted? Can anyone help me - in laymens terms - to try recover this harddrive as it contains precious photos etc on it. Or has anyone encountered the same problem that got their harddrive readable again?
TIA
Kathleen

Initializing will destroy the files. Likely your already at that point. But read here.

I/O device error when trying to backup system image (any advice? please!)

Having posted this once with absolutely no response, I'll try again.
When trying to backup my K330B system image, I get "device error encountered with either the source or the destination (0x8078012D)" and "Additional information: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. (0x8007045D)" It recommends chkdsk/r on both the source and destination devices. I did this for C: and for the external drive I'm backing up to. No problems are found.
I also found the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test on the support site. It does not list K330B as one of the devices it is designed for, but I tried it anyway. It reported an error on the read test and two other tests that it performed when directed to test all partitions on the HDD.
Has anyone else had problems backup up the entire system image but no problems backing up just the C: partition?

Backing up system image using what program or component?
What brand hard drives? Most manufacturers have test utilities
for their drives, sometimes better at finding errors.
As HDQT you tried found some errors, you should test drives
more thoroughly as a first step.

I/O device error when trying to backup system image on my K330B running Windows 7 Home Premium

I set up my Idea Centre K330B to schedule complete system backups to an external HDD once a week. This worked fine for three months, then about a month ago a scheduled backup failed due to "device error encountered with either the source or the destination (0x8078012D)". It also gave "Additional information: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. (0x8007045D)"
I ran chkdsk/r on both the backup drive ( E: ) and the system drive ( C: ) and no problems were found. The backup drive has plenty of available space. I tried the backup to a freshly NTFS-formated external drive. I tried the backup with my BitDefender 2012 Anti-virus disabled. I tried the backup after booting in safe mode. Nothing works.
If I specify to backup only C: and not the reserved partition the backup completes with no problems.
I get the same error condition whether I perform the backup with Windows or the Lenovo backup software.
Is it possible I have a disk corruption on the reserve partition that is not found and repaired by the chkdsk/r C: operation?
I'm thinking about saving all important user files and rebooting to the factory settings, but if the reserver partition is damaged I might end up with a dead 4-month-old PC.
I would greatly appreciate any help or advice as to how to get these backups going again.

I just tried running the Lenovo Hard Drive Quick Test both in normal mode and in safe mode. Both times it indicated a failed read test on the HDD. The last two tests also failed. I forget what those tests were called.
I am really beginning to think I have a bad HDD and the problem just happens to be in the reserved partition where my factory system software resides.

I get an internal device error when trying to sync my iphone 4

Every time I connect I either get a message from iTunes that it doesn't recognize the phone or it tries to sync it and can't ending with an internal device error message.

I had the same problem. I got it working a few hours after setting up the account. Go to the firefox button and click sync now. This solved the "Failed Server Lookup" issue for me.

Satellite L750 - No bootable device error at start-up

I am getting a No Bootable Device error when trying to start my Satellite L750/755.
Before I try any recovery, is it possible to remove the HDD and connect it to my other PC so that I can get all my photos, music, etc. off it. If so what do I need.
I did this on my old desktop, and bought a HDD caddy with a USB connection, so the HDD just looked like an external drive.
Many Thanks
Tim

Yes, you can remove HDD and connect it to your other notebook/PC using external USB HDD enclosure. Using such enclosure you can connect your HDD as external device that should be recognized and listed in Windows Explorer so you can have full access to all your saved data.
Back-up all your data and put the HDD back in your notebook.
Usually if there is no some hardware problem you can start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot menu. When the boot menu is shown on the screen you can put recovery disc info optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD drive and press ENTER button. After doing this optical drive should start to read disc and start to copy data to the HDD.
What you can do before you start to use recovery disc is to enter BIOS and set it to default settings.
Please try all this and send some feedback.

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3

Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document. I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8. I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working. When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay. But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens. I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar. I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot. I look at the document list and it says status "error". When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print. I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess). I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work. I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway. But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice. Help?

I just compared the properties between the two computers. On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf". On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1". I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied". I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel. I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied. I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file. I wonder if this is where my problem lies. Thoughts?

Why do I get this error when trying to use my bluetooth headset as a listening device? There was an error connecting to your audio device. Make sure it is turned on and in range. The audio portion of the program you were using may have to be restarted.

I may have already resolved this issue buy removing the device from my computer and re-pairing it. It is currently working just fine.
