Qosmio F60 - existing advanced boot options after new OS installation

Hello
I am asking about advanced boot option when pressing F8 after restarting the computer will be more exist if I have changed the operating system which originally came with my laptop Qosmio F60 ''win7'' to win 8.1 for example

The advanced boot menu which was part of the in Windows 7 system isnt available in Windows 8/8.1 system.
Microsoft changed the Windows system architecture in the new Win 8/8.1 and this menu has been replaced.
Usually if the Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 would not boot up properly, the system tries to fix the issue automatically. If the system will not be able to fix the issue automatically, the troubleshooting menu would appear.
If you want to access this menu manually, you have to do this within the system:
You have to open charm bar (win key + C) then Settings -> Change PC settings -> Update and recovery -> Recovery -> Advanced startup -> Restart now

Missing "Repair Computer" in Advanced Boot Options - Satellite A300

My new Satellite A300 will not load and I didn't have a chance to make a recovery CD.
I have made a backup of the Hard drive and now want to restore the settings back to the beginning.
I tried downloading a Vista recovery disc but the laptop won't boot from that.
Pressing F8 after turning it on doesn't give me the option to repair the computer and pressing zero on start up doesn't make any difference.
Is there a way of telling the computer to look at the partitioned section of the Hard drive and boot from there?
Help is much appreciated

Repair my Computer option in Advanced Boot option will be shown if your notebook is installed with recovery image. You can install your own Vista and copy HDDRecovery folder back but this option in advanced boot option will be gone and you will not be able to install OS using this option because it will not exist anymore.
There is nothing to do.

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 - Safe mode not listed in Advanced boot options

HI all,
After a bad driver installation, the server got the blue screen issue.
I tried to access the safe mode and make a restore, but unfortunately the safe mode is not listed in the advanced boot options.
The only options available pressing F8 at boot are :
Repair
Normal mode
Am I missing something ?
Is there a way to launch the safe mode from the console (accessible from repair mode) ?
Is there a way to restore from the console ?
Thanks for your help, for now I am really stucked...
Olivier Tisserand

Hi again
Problem solved, I document the solution for others :
open a console from repair mode
search the real system drive, instead of the X: default of the console
inn my case D:
cd Windows/system32
SystemHardwareProperties
Advanced options
start and recovery
tick the 'show os list' with 30 sec timer
close and reboot
when the system list appears, press F8 on wanted os
Then complete Advanced Boot Options menu appears, including safe mode
That saved my customer's server
Hope that helps...

Pavilion dv7 advanced boot options keyboard not working

1. Print screen key has never worked
2. In Advanced Boot Options screen, arrow keys do not function to select Safe Mode, Esc key does not work to cancel out of screen.

Hi,
Does the arrow and esc key works in Windows?
If it doesnt work in windows also then i can suggest you to try doing a hard reset and check..else could be a hardware issue

Wrong selection of number of processor in advanced boot option. system became dead slow.

hello sir,
i have acer aspire v3-571g laptop with windows 8.1 x64 based OS. Processor is Intel Core i5.
To get a faster booting, i selected 2 processor instead of 1 in advanced boot option (msconfig) by mistake and now my laptop become dead slow on booting and startup.
I am in a big headache now...
Please help a hand to solve this issue...
Thank you..

Nishaf
Cross posted on Microsoft community. Like I told you there go back into msconfig and select one processor. I dont suspect that either change is responsible for the slowness. Did you do anything else?

Lost Windows 7 boot option after creating new partition

First of all im new to Mac os.
i have installed windows 7 using boot camp and after it i tried to create a new partition from the main mac partition and it was created successfullly however now the windows 7 boot option is not available for some reason.
how can i have this option back?

You broke it by adding the extra partition, remove Boot Camp (read the directions as to how) and start again. Do not add partitions next time.
Do not use Disk Utility to remove the Boot Camp Partition, use it to remove any extra partitions.
Backup your machine now.

Qosmio f60 14q, slow boot

my laptop has an extremly slow boot time so i downloaded soluto to check if a program is causing it and after multiple tests it takes 4-5 mins till i can use it. so i used the hdd recovery and reinstalled windows 7. and now it takes ~3 mins to boot. also soluto showed that the"system" takes 40-60 secs to open which is high compared to "weaker" machines in my house (~18 secs)

Can you see the HDD details in the BIOS?
Check this access the BIOS (press F2 while booting) and the HDD details should be mentioned on the first page.
If the HDD is not listed...well then the HDD is faulty

No boot option after Windows 7 install on Mac Pro

Hi,
I have problem and it is very frustrating.
My configuration
Mac Pro 1.1 2x2.66
RAM 5 GB
HDs
Bay1 500GB (have a Mac OSx 10.6)
Bay2 250GB (install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit)
Bay3 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6) primary system
Bay4 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6)
I have install Windows 7 via Bootcamp from system 10.6.6 and format and install Windows 7 on HD in Bay2. After installation I try to choose which operating system I want to run (with option key) but nothing happen.
It was grey screen without apple logo and system boot to Windows 7 only.
I try everything to boot with different options (key shift,x,c,...) but nothing happen. I can only boot with windows 7 and if is the windows 7 DVD in drive first ask to boot with DVD, after that boot on Windows 7.
I try to put Mac OS system DVD but still don't want to run.
I also try to remove HD from Bay1(macosx) and Bay2 (windows7) and boot from Raid HD and I have error that there is no boot system.
In windows 7 I run Paragon HFS+ and I can see HD500 in Bay1 but cant see in Bay3 and 4 (RAID hd). In disk utility I can see all hard drives.
I try to reset PRAM but while booting what ever I press nothing happens and boot only windows 7.
I need solution for this problem, please help me with this issue, thx

Another thing that might be close...
I've installed Win7 64-bit on a second HDD. It is Ok to choose boot with 'option' key, but another option is missing: while in win7 apple's bootcamp control panel shows both MacHD and Win7 bootable partitions, so I can tell 'software way' to boot to win or to Snow Leo. It's OK. However when I open 'startup disk' in OS X there's only Mac HD so if I need to reboot to windows I can't just do it with several clicks. I actually have to shut down OS X, wait for boot screen, press option and then wait for the boot options to appear and them choose. It's 'a bit' annoying, let alone windows version of bootcamp seems to do the job smarter. And it really is a good thing to choose "reboot into desired OS" with a click and go to kitchen for tea or something and not seat in front of the machine waiting for boot screen...
Am I missing something? Is it done the other way then 'system preferences>startup disk'?

NB200-10Z - No SD card boot option with new BIOS

First with BIOS version 1.60 could be done boot with the SD cards
Instead since I updated the BIOS to version 1.70 There is no longer the option.
why?

Hi
Are you sure that SD boot option isnt available anymore?
Did you load the default settings after update?
I cant imagine that Toshiba has removed this feature
As I wrote, try the default settings and other SD card. Then you can post here again what happens.

Portege A600 - Dissapearing of USB boot option after updating to bios 3.00

USB boot option seems to have disappeared from bios boot sequence menue after I installed bios 3.00. I wonder why this happened and how I can bring it back.

normally the USB boot option is available and you can select the supported modi in the bios settings.
In a company environment it is possible to disable USB as boot device with some special tools. In this Case yo ushould ask your administrator.
If you are a single private customer you should visit an ASP.

Cannot boot. volume disappeared from boot option after Disk Utility (GUI) repair

I have a 13-inch MBP with the latest OS X version.
Problem
Yesterday, I went to the Recovery Mode and performed Repair on my boot volume. I was not having a problem, but I just wanted to verify and repair as a regular maintenance. The Disk Utility said some kind of error (I cannot remember, but something about EFI?), and I cannot start my computer since then (question mark folder icon when I try to boot).
I have tried the following
I tried to recover the drive by going into the Recovery Mode, but when I press Option key for boot options, I just have an empty grey screen have no option(not even the recovery volume). I have also tried to enter into the Single User Mode, but it goes straight back to the question mark folder icon. Just in case, I performed PRAM and SMC reset, but still no dice.
Next, I tried to boot with Command+R pressed, and the computer went into Internet Recovery Mode, which works fine. Then, I went to the Disk Utility, and my SSD is on the list with the volume that has OS X(only volume on the entire disk except recovery volume, etc). I use FileVault2, and I can unlock the volume and mount it without any problem. When I do Verify Disk, it says that the volume appears to be OK. Also, performed fsck using Recovery Mode's Terminal, and it still says that "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK," the exact same message that I got from GUI disk utility. I also tried to unlock and set the volume as a start-up disk, but I still get the question mark folder icon.
If you need further details, please let me know! Please save me!

Hello jukim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Great troubleshooting done so far. Since you're still booting to the flashing question mark, even after repairing the disk, the next step would be to reinstall OS X.

IMac randomly booting into "safe boot" mode after a clean installation of OS X Lion 10.7 (??)

Is anyone else having problems with their Mac (running a clean installation of OS X Lion 10.7) randomly booting into "safe boot" mode after a restart or shut down?
(Indicators being: seeing the login screen even when "automatic login" is enabled, the proper video drivers not loading - indicated by laggy desktop animations, WiFi not working properly, Menu Bar icons that normally show - not showing, etc.)
**Note: I migrated from a Snow Leopard Time Machine backup, but did not import "Settings". I thought this would be the best way to keep from encountering any issues with 10.6/10.7 incompatibility.

Found this answer from another user. THE EXACT THING HAPPENS TO ME:
Its really annoying Apple hasn't fix it.
=================
I think i got it :
The progressbar while booting ( booting in safe-mode ) came from the wireless keybord and is reproduceable.
At evening I shut down my iMac an put off my mouse and keyboard. To startup I put on the iMac and immediatly after I switch on keyboard and mouse. In tihs case the keyboards sends some event wich leads to safe-mode.
Know I wait until I switch on the keyboard. In my opinion this is a bug, i can live this way but i hope it will be fixed.
I will know take a look at it while not switching off the keybord, power consumption should be acceptable

ODS activation failures after new hardware installation..urgent

Hi All,
I am working in PRD.There are 10 process chains which i need to monitor daily.Daily ODS activation fails in 4 of the 10 chains.The error message for two of the failures are,
Task 0040 during SID specification without confirmation
and for another process it is showing "DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR" error.
manually I am doing steps and the activation is successful.These type of errors we are getting after the new hardware installation.
Could anyone let me know are there any patches to be applied inorder to avoid such type of errors.
Please advice me what to do.
Thanks,
Manjula

What is the patch your currently on at the moment.
It could also be some of the settings in RZ11 have been changed. You need to work with your basis people to resolve this.
DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR is a common problem and usually due to not enough processor's available and the database gettings into a knot.
Check SM21 and ST22 for the more information on the issue.

Options after new phone stolen (had for two weeks), and refurb doesn't work?

Back in November, I ran into some bad luck with Best Buy phone insurance, and wasn't due for an upgrade with Verizon until March. Long story short, I went into a Verizon store on Black Friday weekend to see what my options were, and walked away with a brand new Droid Maxx for only $40. It counted as my new upgrade, and I was thrilled.
Not two weeks after purchasing the new phone, it was stolen from me. I contacted the Asurion insurance company and shelled out $150 to have another phone overnighted to me. Much to my surprise, they sent me a refurbished Maxx with a small crack in one corner - clearly a great deal older than my two week old stolen phone. I decided to give the phone a chance, since I didn't have enough money for other options.
Now, nearly three months later, this refurb is not working out at all. The crack has grown, I can't do any hands free or voice activating calling/navigation, the speakers cut out periodically, and most of the time I can't hear out of them to the point where I have to use speaker phone, and then the people I'm speaking with can't hear me. To top it off, the usually fantastic and long battery life I enjoyed on the original phone are NOT present on the refurb. It lasts half as long, when it does bother at all to charge.
I work for a hospital and need to be on call nearly every day, and the needless quirks on this phone are making it very difficult to do so.
I am at my wits end, and would like to know what my options are. I did not pay almost $200 to insurance to have a subpar refurb for the next two years, and I cannot afford to pay $150 to Asurion for another refurb. If my money goes anywhere, I would like it to go to something that will last me the next two years. I realize that I am very lucky to even have a nice phone, but it is not meeting my needs and is risking my day job when the hospital can't get ahold of me readily.
What are my options? I am on family plan. Should I pull my number off the plan for my own? Try to qualify for Verizon Edge? Or take my number to another provider that will give me a new contract and a new phone? Thank you for your help in advance!

You should have arranged return of the damaged replacement to begin with right then. Too late for that though. At this point, you can buy a used phone on Swappa.com or elsewhere that is compatible to Verizon or buy full retail. I don't they will let you Early Edge right now being so close to having just upgraded.

My Mac OS 10.4.6 won't boot normally after new updates?

Pardon the fact that I'm a newbie...
It seems like a lot of people are posting about problems with the latest Mac OS updates. I installed some new updates Sunday night, and the system needed to be rebooted.
I was working, multitasking with Fire and Word, and in the process of printing a large Word document to my Acrobat printer, my system crashed. I could move the mouse, but there was no response from the keyboard or from my touch pad clicker. The only solution I found was to hard reboot.
Upon the reboot, there were no icons on my desktop, and neither my mouse button nor keyboard are functioning. However, I could move my mouse cursor.
I can boot in safe-mode, and all my files appear to be intact. I reboot from safe mode back to normal mode the problem in normal mode is the same. Clearly Mac OS isn't loading like it should.
I'm used to WindowsXP where multiple reboots usually solves the problem, but I gather thats not wise, and I really shouldn't be hard-rebooting.
Can anyone help me and give me some needed intuition with this? I'm a newbie with Mac, but pretty comfortable with Unix.
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM

Jake, I didn't have any problems with the updates.
I always run Disk Utilities permissions repair and verify disk before and after an OS or Security update. If verify disk reports an error, run Disk Utilities from the Installation Disc 1, specifically Repair Disk. (Some think running permissions repair is useless. I don't agree and have seen this clear up problems.)
If that doesn't do it, go back to Safe boot and check the startup items. A third-party startup item may be the problem.
Good luck. Don't want to rub it in, but I've been running since the MBP arrived on March 30 without any problems. But I've had glitches in the past, and probably will again in the future. That's life.
