Qosmio F60-14K - Can't get it to boot from the SSD

Hi
Im trying to install a new SSD disk, but cant, because I cant get it to boot from the SSD, "Insert a system start disk" Works fine as a USB, even installed Windows 7 on it and tried to boot from it but with out any luck.
All I havent tried are to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that because I dont have that option in BIOS. I think I have tried everything I can test, any tips/help would be much appreciated!!
And so to the BIOS part a joke to call bios all you can do change clock settings and the bootorder more or less!
Anywhy to get more options?
thx
//Henrik

I installed it on my desktop cuz I couldnt install win7 when it was in the laptop it said it wasant a start partision, but it didnt help since it didnt boot from it even with the OS installed on the disk.
Since I cant boot from the ssd it dosent matter what I install on it.
Yeah aslong as u dont want to change anything the set bios seams ok but not as soon as you want to change anything like in my case.
something I really really miss is the fan speed control and ofc the acpi and maybe some chipset settings.
but aslong as I get my SSD to work Im more then happy with the bios settings ;)

Can't get ibook to boot from external harddrive when hitting option key

Hello,
After owning a Pismo Powerbook that had it's hardrive replaced --twice--, i'm all about backing my shtuff up for my ibook.
I picked up a Lacie d2 external harddrive today, and used Disk Utility's Restore function to copy everything from the ibook to the drive. I can boot off the Lacie without a problem when I select it as the startup disk from sys preferences.
But I can't get it to boot from the Lacie when I depress the Option key while rebooting or starting.
any suggestions?
ibook g4 933 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Let's be sure you are doing it correctly:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the desired boot drive (you will have to wait about 20 seconds before you can make the selection) then click on the large right arrow button. If this is what you are doing and it does not work, then you may need to re-prep the external drive and re-clone.
1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
After the above re-clone as follows:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

Can't get k330b to boot from cd

I need to be able to boot this machine from a dvd/cd.
I bought this machine to test various OS , say linux, win server etc.
When I put an ISO image in, it won't boot from the CD, and I can't find a way to get into setup.
I did the holding F2, but there is no option to say boot from CD!
If anyone can show me the way, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

iso are ment to be burnt onto a cd and when they are burnt the iso image is extracted and you should get a full cd layout on it
you have to enter the bios dont have that model so cant say how to get in but del or f2 or f1
then you have to look for boot order and make sure dvd is first

Can't get BIOS to boot from a DVD!

I downloaded a Windows 10 64 Bit .iso file and I want to upgrade to it from 32 Bit, but no matter what I set my computer to boot first it always loads Windows and I can't install it from the .iso file because of a error with some older computers. Also
I do have the specs for a 64 Bit OS.

Hi,
As mentioned above, If it does not automatically boot from the DVD, then you need to manually enter bios, then change the device boot order, make your DVD as the first boot device. Please also make sure that the DVD is not corrupted, in other words, pleaes
make sure that it is bootable, as Anthony mentioned, you need to correctly burn the iso to DVD.
And it's unavailable to to upgrade a 32 bit system to a 64 bit system, you need to backup your files and perform a clean installation.

I am locked out of my phone because I forgot my password and iTunes won't let me connect and I can't get a serial number from the ohone because it's locked.

I had forgotten my passcode on my phone and finally it said that my iPhone was disabled and that it needed to be connected to iTunes. Well for it to connect to iTunes it needed for me to respond on my iPhone but my iPhone is disabled! I'm so frustrated. And I can't get to the serial number because it's locked so I can't get ahold of Apple.

HT201269 All the photographs stored on my computer ended up getting put on my iPhone. How can I get rid of them from the iPhone?

All the photographs stored on my computer ended up getting put on my iPhone. How can I remove them from the iPhone?

Photos synced to your phone can only be removed from your phone the same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Connect your phone, iTunes running, & under the photos tab remove the checks for all albums/folders you do not want on your phone. Hit the apply/sync button & they will be removed from your phone.

I have an old iMac that won't boot up anymore. I have the OS X install disks but I can't get it to boot from these disks. No need to save anything. Any suggestions?

I have an old iMac. Not sure of the operating system but the install disks say OS X. The computer will not boot anymore and all I keep getting is to restart and when I do I keep getting the same message. I do have the install disks but I can't get the computer to install, or for that matter, read the disks. I would like to rebuild the computer from these disks so that I can continue to use this computer. There is no need to save anything on the computer as I backed it up months ago. Any suggestions as to how I can save this computer and not have to recycle it?

Really need to know what version of OS X it is currently running, and what version you are trying to install.

I can't get iTunes to open from the desktop

I am using iTunes 7.0.2.16 and the only way I can get it to open is through foxy tunes in my Firefox browser. I would delete it and reinstall it but I have a lot of carefully maintained playlists and I am afraid I will have to redo all of them if I delete iTunes.
The error message says: the action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I get this when I click on the desktop icon or from the start menu.
Any ideas?
Also, if I delete and reinstall iTunes will all of my playlists be deleted?
thanks in advance

Can't get rid of items from the Side bar

I placed some movies in the side bar and now I can't get rid of them. I was able to remove one movie that I placed in the side bar today from the side bar, but some other movies I can't remove. I don't remember putting these movies in the side bar. When I left click on these movies all that comes up is Sidebar Preferences.

I found the answer by browsing. I am supposed to hold the Command key down and drag the item off the sidebar. It worked. I was trying to right click the item and remove it that way which didn't work.

Can i get my contacts online from the verizon cloud??? phone broken

how can i get my contacts from the verizon cloud online??

Hey there zututu,
I'm glad to hear that you are using the Verizon Cloud to back up your contacts. It is a great way to make sure that you have your contacts saved in case you ever switch devices.
Are you just trying to view your contacts online? Are you trying to transfer your contacts from the cloud to your device? Do you have the Verizon Cloud application downloaded to your computer?
Please provide additional details so I can better assist.

How can I make my clamshell boot from the CD-ROM

I have a Japanese version 300mhz tangerine clamshell with 160MB RAM and a 3gb hard drive. It ran well on OS 9.2 until yesterday when I decided to upgrade (erased old OS) to OS 10.2. The upgrade went smoothly (although took quite a while). After the upgrade, it detected software updates which I accepted and installed (took some time again). Again, the software update went well and I rebooted the machine. I was able to reboot successfully into OS 10.2. I then ran Monolingual 1.20 to remove all languages except U.S. English. Success! I recovered 325MB of disk space. I then tried running a downloaded Firefox .dmg file. It wouldn't run. I noticed the machine was acting funny. I could not shut down from the dropdown Apple logo, there were no dropdown options. So I just turned the machine off and then back on. That 's when the trouble started. I get the chime, I get the grey Apple logo and then the round progress meter. Then the screen switches to just a white background with no Apple logo but with the round progress meter still going and after a long while the round progress meter is stuck. The machine appears to be hung. I tried to boot from a 9.2 CD installer (by holding C key on boot up) but I could not. It goes straight to the grey Apple logo (OS X). Option key does not give me boot device options. Help!

Install the SSD, then boot OS X Internet Recovery by simultaneously holding the Command, Option, and R keys while starting the Mini.
You will see the following screen:
When the following screen appears, select Disk Utility.
Select the SSD, then the Erase tab. Next to "Format" select Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), give it a name, and click the Erase... button.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility which will return to the above screen. Select Reinstall Mac OS X and choose your SSD. You will need the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion.
It may take a few hours to download and install all its components.

HT2729 i downloaded a book when I actually wanted the audiobook can I get my money back from the book?

I tried to buy a audiobook and accidentally bought the book can I return the book and get my money back?

Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that audiobook, click the arrow to the left of it, click the 'Report a Problem' button :
and then the 'Report a Problem' link on its line :
and select 'inadvertently purchased' (I'm assuming that there is 'inadvertent' option for audiobooks, there is for apps and music) as the problem and fill in the details (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
