Problem: PC crashed windows 7 Not booting. toshiba sattelite A665-S6086 win 7 64bit.

Hi, please help.
I need to recover win 7, no media recovery disk, and HDD is not booting although I took off the HDD and connect it to other PC, I can see everything the HDD, seems no problem ( it has 3 partitions 1.4GB : recovery ( I cannot access it) and 450GB (Main drive- I can acccess all of the data) and 3rd partition.
I have satellite A665-S6086.
PC fell, screen is broken and windows will not start . I used external Monitor.
(system is: win 7 64 bit home premium-EN).
I don't have media dvd for recovery.
I tried another win 7 version, is booted from CD, but I did not contiue, because it is wrong version, and I need the same to be restored.
From bios setup it sees the HDD.
When I boot it on external monitor, it gives toshiba logo for short time and goes to curser screen and stops responding.
I want to restore the same version without getting on activation and drivers obstacles. How can I do that please??
thanks for your help in advance

That procedure is described in the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method), which begins on p. 63 of the User's Guide.
Satellite A660 Series User’s Guide
Be sure to burn recovery discs as described on p. 70.

PC crashed, could not boot installed Windows 7 now cannot authorize

Hi,
Yesterday my little netbook crashed, I had Xp on it with iTunes installed and authorised to play video. I couldn't get it to boot so I decided now was a good time to upgrade to Windows 7. Now I've installed itunes again but now it says the computer cannot be authorised because I have authorised 5 of 5 computers. I tried to deathorise all (in Itunes on my MBP) but it says I can only do this once a year and I have to wait until September????
So how do I deathorise a computer that has been wiped and had a new OS installed? They should be using Mac addresses to store PCs, that way it would still be active. Also I should be able to deathorise individual computers in my iTunes account.

I resolved this issue. I'm adding it here incase anyone has the same issue. I contacted Apple support online via their website and they very kindly deauthorised all computers for me so I was able to start over. Very helpful of them.

Boot device not found. "Hard disk not exist". windows not booting

Product: HP G72-110SA
OS: Win7
two days ago, I was installing updates on my computer and when it was about to restart, it froze. After waiting for 10 minutes, I had to turn it off by pressing the off button. From then on, the computer turns on but shows a message "Boot device not found".
I have tried all the BIOS tests that I could find on the net for the hard disk, eg: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443465&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en&la...
This gives me a "Hard disk not exist" error. I tried resetting the BIOS, that didn't work. I tried taking out and putting back in the battery, the memory and the hard disk. Still no luck.
I then booted ubuntu from cd on the computer. It works just fine, including the internet etc EXCEPT the HDD is still not detected.
I had some pretty important stuff and no back up, so would appreciate if someone can help me get back the data. If not, even if I know its just a HDD failure and not a motherboard/BIOS problem, it will be a relief as its probably fixable.
Thanks

Hi there ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I would be happy to assist you. As there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number. (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?) When I went to www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup, it gave me documentation and troubleshooting steps to follow. One of the documents it provided is called Hard Disk Error Displays before the Computer Starts. NOTE: I recommend at this point you make an immediate backup of all important data and files. Here are instructions on how to Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8). Please follow the troubleshooting steps provided, re-post with the results of the troubleshooting in detail. Thank you.

Problems with starting Windows after Boot Camp was installed on a Win-PC

Hi,
i have a very interesting problem for the MacComunity (haha -.-). The problem is: after I have installed Boot Camp from my Snow Leopard DVD on my Windows PC (not my iMac); I can not start the system. In the Boot Camp System where i can set the system to start with, there was only the Boot Camp System available (not Vista). However, the system installs some Vista-Updates and some Updates from Apple Software Update (iTunes 9.2, Quicktime 7, Safari 5, Airport 5, Boot Camp 3.1) on my PC.
Everything was all right but after I have restarted the System nothing happend. the System freezed when the boot-Screen (Intel Logo) appears. The Systemkeyboard was not detected. It only detects a n external apple Keyboard. There are some reactions when I press the keys, but the Monitory is frozen, anyway. What can I do?

Sounds like a lesson in there: don't wait to put OS X on an external drive that is usually off line.
Rush to a store or on-line and get a UPS of the 1500VA sort (APC RS would be nice, or SMART UPS 1000VA).
The directory of the drives could be corrupt.
I have all my equipment, modem, routers, the works, but we had a bad storm and one port on the router/modem is out (the one I used, the modem seems to be okay) and I am worried that the UPS's line filter for DSL in is also 'compromised.'
Storms and power outages can wRECK or cuase havoc.
It sounds like you need to map out bad sectors maybe (zero all in Disk Utility) perhaps. The directory, volume blocks, or even journal file, got scrambled. However, because no test can find it means - to me - it could be the "non user partitions" rather than OS X partition etc. Hence, zero the drive or just reformat it in full.
Why have you not ever with these outages, just continued to live w/o one? I wouldn't just shutdown, I would unplug if a storm approaches.
PS: SMC Reset button is under drive bay #4. Give it a 5-10 seconds depress.

Problem to install Windows using Boot Camp 3.0.4 in Macbook Air (2008)

Hi Folks!
Please I need help.
I have a original Macbook Air of 2008 (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP8?viewlocale=pt_BR) with the Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to install the Windows 7 Professional x64 as a secondary partition using the BootCamp 3.0.4. After steps necessary for create a new partition with the BootCamp, I rebooted the machine with the "Windows 7 Professional installation DVD" in DVD device, but then the setup Windows installation does not appears, showing the initialization white screen of the Mac OS with the apple image, a symbol of emptiness and a folder with a "?" symbol within alternating infinitely and do not finish.
I tried with the Windows Ultimate Vista x86, but occurs the same.
Please, what can I do to install the Windows in my Macbook Air?
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Jonas Presse

No, I did not get a solve. Actually, my problem worsened. I tried it again, but this time the computer wouldn´t detect my alu keyboard, hence I couldn´t select a drive to tell the bloody thing where to boot from. That is weird, because at the time I opened this thread it did work. I actually had to borrow a wired keyboard so I could hit alt and get it to work.
At the moment I am not so keen on trying it again......

Now it gets even stranger. As suspected the configuration is correct as I now have it booting into windows.
The strange part is, all was working ok until I applied all current updates, then it went into windows recovery mode and can't find my partition for recovery (only option I have is to reboot)
Have no idea what happened, so I re-installed. Re-installed ok, but the same problem as before, no boot volume found.
Re-installed again, but this time I released the windows boot media from the virtual CDROM drive while it was rebooting.
Windows booted sucessfully.
Very Strange.

Windows not booting after Winclone

Hi Guys,
I have a MBP and I have just installed a new 1TB HD. I successfully cloned the osx drive and restored it and all aplications are working fine. I then bought winclone. Cloned the boot camp and restored it. When I tried to boot into windows it said there is a boot failure. Hardware has changed. Im running windows & pro.
I have followed every thep outlined. I have gone from a 300 to 700gb partition from windows. As far as I understand thats what winclone does. Does anyone have any advice?
It will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Warren

Haviing the same processor socket would sortof help limit to differences in motherboard, but moving to a different motherboard is always (was) a disaster 95% of the time.
There are commercial programs to take a windows image, on a Windows system! and adjust the drivers when importing a new Windows image.
Tools for importing physical and virtual back and forth, but with Windows already present.
And with Macs by "same processor family" that is also likely to be safer.
Sounds like a lot of really good work went into WinClone in the end.
It was so slow, and during backup image creation unlike say Paragon and Acronis or Ghost, that is when you also scan for and detect system errors, bad sectors being read and insure you have and know you have a good image - and not when you go to restore. Though a sucessful restore is the best "test."
Would be nice if the backup was incremental.
If all you have is core Windows OS then it will be under 30GB so small (Blue-Ray would be nice here).
Now to see how soon WinClone supports Windows 8 RC which will be harder, based on changes in Windows system extra partitions and that even Paragon is not certified to work and listed as "incompatible."

I/O Error leads to Windows not booting up.

I'm not too computer savvy or anything like that but I'll try to explain my situation to the best of my extent.
This just started happening about 25 minutes ago. I first noticed something was wrong while I was downloading some stuff, utorrent would pop up with an error, saying there was some sort of "I/O Error" and then, I noticed that videos on youtube would kind of lag but they wouldn't stop, they'd make like a buzzing noise.
So I figured I'd turn off the computer and turn it back on, well now Windows won't start. I run Windows 7 and when I choose to run Windows normally, it'll get to that "Windows is loading" screen and eventually, it'll show a quick flash of that blue screen then restart. I've tried the other option, repair windows or something like that. It just leads me to a black screen with a cursor and does nothing.
I've tried loading it in safe mode and it'll start loading all the drivers and stuff but then it'll do the whole "quick blue screen flash, restart" thing.
Anyone know what's up?

Yvan Koenig has said he has some AppleWorks 5 files fail to open in AppleWorks 6 with the I/O error. I've never had a problem opening any AppleWorks 5 files whether they were created on a Mac or PC.
Are you sure that some of these files aren't ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files? AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files & gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6.
I'm not clear if it's one file or all of the files you can't open. If it's just one or a few, I'd think there is some corruption in the file. If it's a lot (more than half) & you're sure they are AppleWorks 5 files, some basic troubleshooting might help.
First step, delete the AppleWorks 6 preferences as they may be corrupt, particularly the translator cache. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more info.
Did you move these files from one Mac to another using a USB flash drive or other removable device? If the device is PC-formatted, some information in the files may have been lost in the transfer. Another user tip addresses this problem - AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files.
I'd be willing to take a look at two or three of these problem files for you & see if I can figure out where the problem is. E-mail them to me with a subject line of "I/O errors." Just click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section.

Windows not booting after reinstalling Mavericks

I had some trouble with Mavericks after an update, so i had to reinstall. After doing so Bootcamp is no longer working.
I've used target disk mode to check that windows actually is there, and it is. The Bootcamp partition is also showing like
it should in startup disk. It just won't boot. I get a black screen with a message saying that there's no bootable device found.
Is there a way to fix it, or do i have to backup as much as possible and reinstall windows 7?
Please help!

Can you boot the Mac, with the Bootcamp issues, into OSX properly?
A. If yes, can you post the text output of the following Terminal commands.
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
Please enter your password when prompted. Remove any personal information as you see fit.
B. If TDM is available, you can do the same set of commands from the functional Mac which can see the TDM disk with the malfunctioning BC installation.

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot Windows Disk

I have a late 08 (or early 09) Unibody Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz. I start the Bootcamp Assistant and successfully create my Windows partition. When I restart with the Windows 7 disk, I get a blinking cursor for 1 second then it goes to a black screen and never leaves. I have tried several different Windows 7 disks with the same result. I have even tried booting from a Windows Vista, Windows XP and even a Ubuntu disk all with the same result, stuck at a black screen.
I took the hard drive out of this mac and put it into my wife's older Macbook pro, and it booted off the Windows 7 disk and completed the install to the drive with no issues. I then put the hard drive back into my Macbook Pro and get the same black screen when trying to start the Windows partition, and still have the same problem that it will not boot from any other OS disk be it Windows or Ubuntu. It boots from OS X DVDs without a problem.
Also several months ago I had a Windows XP installation on this computer with no issues. I wiped it just before going to Snow Leopard.
Any clue as to what is going on here?

What is really odd is if I take my hard drive out of my Unibody Macbook Pro and put it into my wife's non-unibody Macbook Pro, it boots the Windows partition with no problem (Remembering I previously swapped these hard drives to complete the Windows installation to my hard drive). Seeing as the disk boots on her machine fine and not in mine, and my Windows cds (DVDs) boot fine on hers and not on mine, it seems to me it's something specific about my machine, but I can't imagine what it is.
