Operating system always hanged on startup
I've installed in a new mac book pro the first original dvd operating system and I've choosen the minimum installation without the additional software of the second dvd. The problem appears when the installation process finish and restart system; the power on process starts normally and when the first intro video appears and starts the sound then the screen make strange forms and in few seconds the intro video halt. The strange thing is that the sound continue playing and the mouse can move arround the screen.
I only can turn off the mac book pressing the power button for a few seconds and then start again but the problem persist.
I've tryed the hardware test of the dvd nº1 and it doesn't find any problem...
What can I do?
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Elston:
On a 20 GB HDD it seems a bit impractical to have OS 9 and OS X on separate partitions, especially since they can both be installed on the same volume without any issues.
While there are some software packages that will partition on the fly, if you use Disk Utility to change partitions you will destroy all your data. I suggest that you:
a. Backup your computer to an external firewire HDD using SuperDuper.
b. Reformat and erase your internal HDD, and either clone back from you backup or re-install, and restore from backup.
Note that OS X needs a minimum of 5 GB free space in volumes of 40 GB and less and 15% of HDDs over 40 GB.
Good luck.

Labview 8.0.1 hangs on startup and shutdown
I have been using Labview 8.0.1 and Teststand 3.5 on my laptop for a few weeks (eval versions)
during the time I don't have access to my PXI platform.
Today when I tried to shutdown my laptop, Labview would not shut down and could
not be terminated. After 10min or so it finally shut down. After reboot of the system, labview
hangs on startup during "finishing intialization", and must be terminated. I cannot launch it at all.
Please tell me there is a way to fix it without reinstall.Woah there! Let’s
take a step back before we take drastic measures…..
First of all, does your Laptop meet all of the minimum requirements
of the install of LabVIEW? Do you have
sufficient RAM, do you have a supported OS, and do you have a capable video driver? All of these things make a difference! Additionally, there is a way to set the NI
services (or any service for that matter) to run when needed as opposed to
automatically running on startup. To do this, open the Windows Control Panel,
and click on “Administrative Tools” and open “Services”. From here you can start and stop services, as
well as configure them to run in “manual” mode which will start them only as
needed.
There should never be a problem with uninstalling NI
Software due to NI services running. The
proper way to uninstall LabVIEW is to first shut down all NI programs you have
open. Then, go to control
panel->add/remove programs->national instruments software and choose “change”. From here you can uninstall LabVIEW by
clicking on it and selecting “remove”.
Installing 8.0.1 should have had no effect on the NI services or LabVIEW. Did you reboot and mass compile the LV directory after the
8.0.1 install? It’s also important to note
that all of the LabVIEW 8.0 installers are the same. The version of LabVIEW that is installed
depends on which version is “unlocked” based on the serial number you enter
when activating LabVIEW.
It is entirely possible that for some reason one of the NI
services is hanging, or behaving poorly.
I think you were on the right track with starting debugging from that
point. We could also try to determine
which exact service is causing problems, then determine which software that
service installed with and troubleshoot from there.
I assure you that many people are running with all sorts of
NI software combinations on their machines without these problems. If there is some problem with an NI service
on your machine, installing a new version of LabVIEW might not make a
difference anyway. I do apologize that
this has been causing you problems, and I thank you for the debugging completed
so far. I hope this information proves useful -- please let us know how things
go!

Hi all,
I have searched through forums, but could not find the solution to my problem:
I have a notebook ASUS with Windows 8 preinstalled.
Yesterday I was doing some housecleaning jobs with some freeware tool (don't remember the name).
Afterwards I have not been able to boot into Windows.
CURRENT SITUATION: When I switch the PC on, after the welcome screen of ASUS and Windows 8 the system goes to a blank screen (no cursor, no mouse, CTRL+ALT+DEL not working).
On next reboot, it does not start automatically the Recovery/Repair procedure and goes through the same steps again. It's not a loop, it just hangs.
Looking into c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\Srt\srttrail.txt I see the following error message at the bottom of the file on the time of my last boot attempt: "Operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair"
I tried several things without success, so now I want to solve the problems one by one and first thing is to understand what might be causing the "Operating system version is incompatible with Startup Repair" error and how it can be solved.
Thanks for readingHi,
Any update here?
I agreed with the others. First, if we have any backup available to restore Windows 8.1, we may take use of that.
If we don't have any backup available, we'd better contact the manufacturer side for a deeper help.
Or as Janek Fehn suggested, make a clean install of Windows 8, then update to Windows 8.1 again.
Best regards

[SOLVED] System randomly hangs shortly after startup
First of all: hi everyone, as of last weekend I am a brand new Arch user
My problem: I installed Arch on Friday and had no problems with it all weekend, but on Tuesday the whole system suddenly started freezing within a few minutes of being switched on. My cursor stopped blinking, mpd output stopped, and nothing would respond. It didn't matter what I was doing at the time (mostly I wasn't doing anything, or was typing a command). It didn't matter if X was running, or what daemons were running (I disabled all of them eventually). Sometimes I hadn't even logged in yet (although the fault never occurred before agetty popped up). The timing was unpredictable but it always happened within a few minutes of system startup. I could see nothing in the output of dmesg, or in any system logs, that would indicate any problems. The fact that nothing had changed over the weekend, coupled with the unpredictable timing of the fault occurrence, led me to assume it was a hardware fault. However, I had three other operating systems on the same hardware and hard drive (Gentoo, Debian and Windows XP) which all were unaffected. I did an fsck on the Arch partition but there were no problems found, and the smartmontools didn't show any cause for concern either.
Eager to get past the problem, I reinstalled Arch on the same partition, erasing everything I did over the weekend. Freshly installed, with nothing installed besides the base and base-devel packages, Arch still hung just after startup even before I'd finished creating my user account. (Interestingly, the installer never suffered from the same fault.) Still thinking it could be a bad sector or something, I installed Arch on first the Debian, then the Windows partition (who needs either of those, right? ) but neither gave me a problem-free system.
Essentially my problem is this: Arch will no longer work when it is installed or run on the exact hardware that I installed and ran it on over the weekend, even though other distros can run quite happily on the same hardware! Does anybody have any ideas? I've been bitten by the bug now and don't feel right going back to Gentoo!

by installing using the old packages on the cd rather than downloading the new ones, i was able to get a working system again. however when i did a pacman -Syu the problem returned. through trial and error i found that the problem package is kernel26 (or the modules). for whatever reason, i'm having to stay with 2.6.30 for now. is this a bug with the kernel26 package? -
System hangs at startup screen after 10.4.9
Hello all,
After installing OS 10.4.9, i restarted the computer and the computer keeps hanging at the blue startup screen.
any recommendations for help? all i can do is to restart the computer and it goes back to the blue loading screen and hangs
thanks for your help in advanceHi there ,
1.Disconnect any external devices connected to your
computer before you restart.
ok i did
2.Try booting the computer in safe mode by holding
shift key>>
i held on to the shift key. still the blue screen loads and hangs in there
if it doesn't work then you can try
repairing the permissions and verify the disk by
following this
article>>http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnu
m=106214
i followed the instructions and repaired disk and permission. but still blue screen
3.After repairing the disk by using FSCK command,
i did it. and when i restart the computer, the blue screen sill remains
it not works then the only option would be to try
repairing with the disk or a re-install of operating
system
when i load the dvd that came with the ibook, nothing happens. i tried pressing 'c' or 's' or 'option' when the computer restarts. it doesnt work as well. nothing happens. the computer loads and freezes when the loading bar at the blue screen is fully loaded.

Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?
Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

A custom task sequence to install software is always listed as Operating System on Software Center
Hello,
I have built several custom task sequences to install software in SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 environment, but the type of task sequence is always listed as Operating System on the Software Center. I tried creating a simple task sequence (Task Sequence 1) that contains
a single restart computer step only and tried deploying it to a test machine. This task sequence is also listed as Operating System. This task sequence fails because this is not the one for OS install and I do not specify a boot image for this task sequence.
All task sequences that I have created in SCCM 2012 RTM environment are working as expected. All task sequences that I create in SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 are listed as Operating System regardless of its actual type (I upgraded my environment from CM2012 RTM to CM2012
R2 CU1 last month).
Here is a test task sequence that contains a single step of restart computer. This is not Operating System install but listed as Operating System. Any thoughts?If you use OSD steps in your task sequence you will get this prompt.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3eb7569c-0b5a-4b40-86c3-d4f092c70aca/task-sequence-warning?forum=configmanagerosd
Per Mikko:
Using any of following steps (and possibly others as well, I did not check all of them) will change the task sequence type from generic to OSD:
General - Join Domain or Workgroup
General - Restart Computer (Only "The boot image assigned to this task sequence" option)
Disks - Format and Partition Disk
User State - Request State Store
User State - Release State Store
Images - Apply Operating System Image
Images - Setup Windows and ConfigMgr

"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.

CPU: P4 3.0
Mother Board: 875P Neo-LSR/

HD: 2X 80 Seagate SATA Drive Configured as RAID 0Hey 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.
<-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using Amibios version 3.31a,
Harddrives I have the following:

Configure S-ATA as RAID: Yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
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. -

BootCamp Partition- Missing Operating System Windows Startup Repair
Hi.
I made the mistake of creating a new partition on my HD with an existing Boot Camp partition. I tried to follow the advice of Loner T in this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6574886, and got made the Windows installation bootable. Upon starting up Windows the screen displayed 'Missing Operating System', I tried doing a Windows Startup Repair using the Windows Installation Media without any luck.

Startup trouble, won't update and says "operating system not found"
So when I tried updating to the new thunderbolt update thingy (yes I know, VERY late but I kept forgetting to update it and I didnt have time) it didnt start up because it said "operating system not found" after 30 mins of looking around for tips to reboot they didnt work,
I troed rebooting and it worked, and I followed the instructions to "download Mac OS X Lion" again. But it wont redownload because this reason:
"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed."
I have tried everything and since I downloaded the thunderbolt REALLY late I dont think anyone else had had this problem.
Help me please?Hi, pimmerik.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. I would go through the steps in the article I have included below as they may help resolve this error.
