No Startup Disc - Blue Screen Error

I recently upgraded my G4 with the leopard operating system. It was running fine for a while and then entered the blue screen problem. I ran into this same problem with my G5 and took the proper steps to try and fix it but have had no luck. I tried to connect to another mac through the firewire option, and it turns off before connecting. When I try to boot in safe mode, nothing. I can boot from the leopard install disc, but when I go to try to run disk utility to repair permissions, the only drive that shows up is the cd. It will not recognize the startup disc in either disk utility or when I try to reinstall the software. I've also tried connecting an external hard drive to see if I could use that as a boot drive, but no luck in it coming up either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Have you followed THIS advice? If the drive is having problems it could take a long time to run the check routine. Tom

  • Windows Blue Screen Error Message Appears As Soon As IPod Connected

    Everytime I connect my IPod to my computer, I get the Windows Blue Screen error message. Thought it was the cable, so plugged cable in by itself. No problem. Uninstalled IPod and ITunes software and then plugged in IPod, still got the Blue Screen. The Blue Screen says something about "recent plugged in device problem". It is not the cable, it must be the IPod. Did not have this problem when I bought it. Tried it on labtop and get the same error message. I can't do updater or anything that requires me to plug the IPod into a computer because the Blue Screen appears immediately. When I unplug, the Blue Screen remains and locks up the computer so I have to restart each time. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help.

    Hi Mike thank you for replying,
    I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
    I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
    If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.

  • Blue screen error message on Satellite Pro A10

    Hi,
    I'm trying to help my inlaws with their Satellite Pro SPA10. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was running really well.
    Now it restarts about two seconds past the "use last good configuration" etc. screen, gets to this screen again then restarts immediately ad infinitum, never pausing on the error mesage for long enough to see what it says.
    I managed to get it to boot from the windows XP home disc and got as far as the repair or continue with installation screen. When I asked the computer to do either it crashes to blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
    *** STOP: 0x000000c5 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8082B98B)
    This is beyond my level of expertise, can anyone help?
    Thanks

    When you encounter a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) in Windows the computer will save information regarding the error message in a log file. This log file or minidump file is saved in the Minidump subdirectory under Windows (C:\Windows\MiniDump). Generally
    the information saved in this minidump file can help pinpoint the cause of the blue screen error message and help you in resolving the problem.

  • Blue Screen error message after using Rescue and Recovery.

    Good morning - I unfortunately had to use the IBM Rescue and Recovery feature to restore my factory settings.  However, now my computer is giving me a blue screen error during the startup process.  Unfortunately it is not on the screen long enough for me to get too much information from it, but I have been able to get win22n51.sys as being some sort of error message.  If I start the computer in safe mode it will load without the error.  If I use the safe mode plus networking it gives the error.  So I'm assuming it has something to do with the network drivers?
    I would appreciate any ideas you all have for resolving/further diagnosing this problem.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Perhaps this Lenovo knowledgebase article, "XP Crash: System may hang or restart with a previous version of the Intel PRO 2200BG Mini PCI adapte..." will be of help to you in resolving the problem?

  • Blue screen error code. Please help.

    late 2008 version.
    Recently my school reinstalled windows 7 but after he did that, there was some blue screen error code which only appears while running on windows and everything is fine on the mac side.
    He reinstalled windows 7 again but the blue screen error code started again. He said that it could be that my apple disc is not original which caused the error code, however last year they were able to installed windows 7 without any issue. He also said that it could be the hard drive problem.
    Another problem I have is that while on windows the hard disk drives doesn't show the mac too.
    Please help! Much appreciated if any of you can help me out.

    Unless you run a VM such as Parallels, you're not going to be able to see your Mac disk using Boot Camp. If I were you, I'd see about getting Parallels Desktop and installing Windows 7 on it. You can then inter-operate with both systems.

  • Sat Pro A60: Blue screen error

    I have had my satellite pro A60 laptop for around 6 months and recently a blue screen has started flashing up with white writing scrolling down really fast and then the laptop restarts itself. I don't have time to read what this writing says. Can any one give me any advice on what this could be and how to fix the problem ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi
    Well, the simple way is to reinstall the OS. But if you want, you can disable the automatically restart function of Windows Xp to read this error massage.
    Go to System in Control Panel. Then Advanced tab. In the Startup ad Recovery section press setting button. There you need to disable the option Automatically restart.
    But its very difficult to understand the blue screen error message for common users.

  • Window setup option on the boot menu after fixing Blue Screen Errors

    Hello Everyone, this is my firs t request.
    I spent two days fixing the Blue Screen Errors (BSoD) on my computer but one thing keeps bothering me is that everytime I start or reboot my computer, it gives me TWO OPTIONS; 1. windows xp home edition 2.windows setup (default). I want to disable the second option. I had attempted to re-install windows but later changed my mind, and found an alternative to fix the Blue Screen Errors. I believe the reason Blue Screen Errors (BSoD) showed up was that I had created a new user profile and copied over old user profile files so improperly that it duplicated drivers, and gave me a list of STOP errors with blue screens for both new and old users. 
    The bootini file currently shows:
    [Boot Loader]
    Timeout=5
    Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
    [Operating Systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
    Does anyone know what to edit for the bootini file so that I don't get two options at the startup??? My system details are:
    IdeaPad, S10-4231
    Windows XP Home Edition SP3
    4-year old
    Thanks,
    Lenovo User

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    As per the Default Sample of Boot.ini the default value after timeout section needs to be modified
    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect
    Before making any changes please save a copy of Boot.ini
    Save a Backup Copy of Boot.ini
    <script type="text/javascript">//
    loadTOCNode(2, 'summary');
    // </script>
    Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    -or-
    Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
    On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
    Under System Startup, click Edit. This opens the file in Notepad ready for editing.
    In Notepad, click File on the Menu bar, and then click Save As.
    Right click in an empty area of the Save As dialog box, point to New in the context menu, and then click Folder.
    Type a name for the new folder, for example temp, and then press the ENTER key to create the folder named temp.
    Double-click the new folder named temp, and then click the Save button to save a backup copy of the Boot.ini file.
     Please try modifying the following
     Default=C:\$WIN_NT$.~BT\BOOTSECT.DAT
     to 
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
    Hope This Helps

  • Blue screen error (BSOD) during and after installation of Windows 7

    I had to reinstall Windows 7 via the recovery partition. During the installation I kept getting Blue screen errors and even now I am still getting BSOD within minutes. I have no problem in safe mode.
    My laptop is a Satellite C650D-12C. I wanted to update BIOS but I can't in safe mode. What should I do next?

    Recovery image saved on HDD is tested so everything should be OK with recovery image installation.
    What you can try is to use Microsoft installation disc to see if the same will happen again.
    If yes, Im afraid you need professional help with this. Notebook has probably valid warranty so the service guys should check this.
    Have you created recovery DVD?
    BTW: I think BIOS update is not solution. Recovery installation must work with this original BIOS version.

  • Itunes blue screen error

    I recently installed itunes from the disk that came with the ipod nano.
    The problem I'm having is that when you open itunes with or without the ipod connected it crashed the computer. I rang apple and they said its a windows problem although they did suggest I download version 6 from their web site which I did and the problem still exists. I rang microsoft support and they said it was an apple problem
    The problem doesn't happen all the time, around say 80% the computer shots down with a blue screen error message saying " A problem has been detected and windows
    has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    PageFault_In_NonpagedArea
    The technical information is:
    STOP 0x00000050 (0xBB9EA29E,0x00000000,0x805-DA81,0x00000002) Then it
    goes onto say beginning to dump physical memory, dumping physical memory to disk.
    Can anyone help.

    Hello,
    I followed this recommendation for one of the other discussions to at least get the blue screens to stop for a while. So far so good. Try this to see if it helps. Make sure you sequence exactly or else blue screens will appear again. Good luck!

    Re: USB Device Not Regonized
    Posted: Dec 26, 2005 8:11 AM in response to: Chaos Atheist Reply Email
    I spent hours last night and today, when something simple actually worked!
    If you've uninstalled/reinstalled recently, don't bother. The problem is probably the nano, NOT the computer.
    Reset your nano. Move the hold switch until you see orange, then back again, lay it on the table and press the center of the wheel and menu at the same time and hold until you see the apple (6 to 10 seconds).
    Then plug your cable into your computer's usb first, then connect the ipod to it. Wait. Hope it works for you

  • I am trying to connect my iPad to my windows pc ( xp) but it does not recognise the iPad and I get a blue screen error causing the pc to shut down. Any ideas

    I am still not able to connect my iPad 2 to my Pc ( windows xp). When I try to do so I get a blue screen error and the computer shuts down. I have reinstalled iTunes. iPod works fine. Any ideas?

    Not sure, but try these.
    Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

  • Satellite A300D-1EI - blue screen error - display drivers had failed

    I 've bought my laptop a month ago.
    Everything is working great except two "blue screen" errors caused by the graphics card.
    Both were when the laptop was connected with TV through S-video port.
    First was when the laptop display turned off after 15 minutes while watching a movie, on resume said that display drivers had failed and then I got the blue screen. Then I updated the display drivers from ATI's website and set the laptop display not to turn off.
    All were ok with no problems, until last night when I got another message that display drivers had failed followed by a blue screen.
    I am wondering if this is a driver's problem or is something wrong with my graphics card.
    System Info:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T8400 @ 2.26 GHz
    Memory (RAM): 3.00 GB
    System Type: 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium
    Display Adapter: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470

    So long you use ATI driver from ATI support page there is no possibility to say anything about it.
    This driver is not tested and Toshiba cannot offer any help about it.
    So what you can do is to install OS again using recovery media and see what will happen in the future. Please test it intensively with clean preinstalled operating system. Don't install anything that can have some negative influence to this game or additional applications, codecs or something similar.
    Test it please and let us know if the problem persists.
    When you want to watch movies on TV at first switch to the TV and then start DVD player.
