Qosmio G30-161 does not boot - NTDLR' File is Missing

Hi all,
I have a G30-161 twin hard drive (in Raid 1) that will not boot..
It just gives the message 'NTDLR file is missing' and is followed up with a prompt to restart the computer at which the same error will be displayed again.
I've been given this laptop by my son to fix (lucky me :( ! )
Things I've looked at so far:
- Checked the BIOS to see if the drives are configured correctly - BIOS states both hard drives installed, online and in RAID 1
- I had a Windows XP Install Disc to hand so tried to see if it would boot from a CD. It started on the CD ok but the Windows Recovery Console/Install process said it could not find any hard drives. Also found an Acronis True Image Boot Disc (uses linux I think), again the program started up fine but reported there were no Hard Drives installed.
- So with the the no HD reports I took one out for a test. With drive 2 removed, on a boot attempt the system reports 'RAID 1 is DEGRADE' then follows with the 'NTDLR file is missing' . So this tells me the RAID SW is probably working and it knows a HD has been removed.
All the fixes I've read about on PC forums involve using the XP Recovery CD or some but this won't work as the system thinks there are no drives when it boots. We dont' have a Toshiba recovery disc for the machine.
Anyone seen the above problem, knows a fix?
Can I get hold of a G30-161 Recovery CD anywhere?
Any help appreciated. ...
Thanks,
Steve

Deleted files now Macbook pro 13 2011 does not boot up

Tried following some instructions to delete search.genieo an safari and deleted some files. Now my Macbook pro 13 does not boot up at all. All I see is the screen with small apple and the running circle below indicating it is thinking. any clues anyone. Thxs

Just for the record, in case someone with the same problem stumbles across this topic later, I'll repeat the advice I gave you on another topic:
You did not follow the instructions precisely, and now you have suffered the fate that the giant red text on that page warned you about.
At this point, you will need to try the recovery instructions posted at the end of that page.

Need help with my Toshiba remote control and receiver for Qosmio G30 161

Hello to all
I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-161 and with it I have a Toshiba remote control and a Toshiba remote control receiver, this is the first time I have used it (tried to that is), my problem is the remote is not working on the computer when I press any program buttons the computer does nothing.
I have installed four brand new AA batteries and the remote works fine its sending signals to the receiver, the receiver the detecting the remote as a red light appears every time you press a button and as for the computer I have checked the drivers and the USB is picking up the receiver as a E-home remote receiver which I have checked with Toshiba and that is correct, so all in all the remote is working, the receiver is picking up signals and the pc has detected the receiver but nothing works, I have installed remote control manager but this still has done anything. I have spoken to Toshiba help and support and the end result is they are not sure what the problem is. Can anyone help I require the remote for slideshows for customers as I??m a photographer.
Also to confirm I am running Windows XP MCE addition.

Hi there,
this remote contol works, if you use it without any special drivers and special software, only in the Media Center.
But if you install such stuff like [WinLirc|winlirc.sourceforge.net] then you should be able to get some functions for your presentation.
Please try this tool and check if it works.
By the way: If I were you I would first read the Manual and FAQ of WinLirc before starting because its a little bit tricky to handle the program. :) (Too many settings :D)

Satellite A105 WIN XP does not boot or load...

Ok, so my wife's laptop has a boot issue. Model is A105-S4284
The Toshiba/Phoenix screen loads, but does not boot/load XP. It gives a black screen, then sits for a few secs and restarts. it will continue this loop indefinetely as far as I can tell. When this happened, she complained that it has been taking longer for it to boot into XP recently. (Wish she had told me before)
I can get to BIOS system utilites, Boot menu, and can access F8/Win Advanced options boot choices. I have tried the following:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode w/command prompt
Last known GCFG
Disable Auto restart on failure
I have also done a battery pull and unseated the memory, even swapping left/right, and attempted boot from just one mempry module, all with no change.
Apparently her DVD/optical drive is toast (apparently has been) so I can't do a recovery disc, but I did make a recovery USB drive. No dice there either.
What have I not done? Since I can access the adv. opt. menu it seems winXP is still there. most likely she shut it down while XP was installing something, and now there is some type of error in the registry or somewhere, but I can't seem to recall or remember what my next steps would be to gain access to I can try to clean it up and recover.
I would do a complete wipe and start from scratch, but her entire work portfolio is on the HDD and she (foolishly) has not backed it up, at least not recently. Is my best bet to get an outboard drive enclosure and set the jumpers to slave, so I can attempt to recover the data that way?
I'm a bit stubborn, and know my way around a computer, and I refuse to give up and drop it off at the geek squad.
Please help!

First things first. You should rescue the files.
Remove the hard drive and place it in an enclosure accessible from a desktop via USB.

Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.

Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
drwx------
10 root staff
340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
drwx------+
30 Mac   staff
1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

Mac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

IMac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Server does not boot

Dear Sir
I have use Main Server PowerEdge 1900 with operating system SQL Server 2008 r2 the main server does not boot after reading all system files a message appear choose recovery mood
1- restore from system image recovery
2- Command Prompt
i have important data in it and a database runing in the server machine how can i boot the server properly without having any backup.
How can i pick up data from command prompt.

The bad part is that you do not have backups. The good part is that you can recover your data by using a bootable device and copying them to another location.
However, for the DB part, you might want to ask them here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=sqldisasterrecovery&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

Mac does not boot past white loading screen and disk cannot be repaired?

So when I turn on my Macbook Pro and it does not boot past a white screen with the Apple logo, loading wheel and progress bar. When the progress bar completes, the Macbook shuts down and when I open it again the cycle is repeated. I have opened it in Safe mode and it still showed the same thing. So I opened it in Recovery Mode and had Disk Utility verify and repair Macintosh HD. As it turns out, Disk Utility said Macintosh HD is beyond repair and I need to back up my files and reformat the whole Mac. Unfortunately, I have never used Time Machine since I started using the Mac and I obviously cannot use it now since startup does not even get past the white screen.
How do I reformat the Mac when it does not even go beyond the white screen during startup? My Mac did not come with any recovery or installation disks. Are my unbacked up files gone for good?
Thanks.

Since you are able to get into Recovery Mode (Command+R), you can erase/format your Mac via Disk Utility.
Your files/data might be OK. One way to get your data off since you have no back up would be to have another Mac and connect the two via a Thunderbolt cable or even an ethernet cable (I think), then restart your 'bad' Mac into Target Mode by restarting and pressing the T key. Then go onto the 'good' Mac and see if you can copy the data files you want over to it.

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

Hi there,
I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
To give you some details:
- I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
- The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
- Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
- PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
- when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Focx,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
Regards,
Roger

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files.

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files. I am stumped.

If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.
