Replaced mobo and HDD, now system says no hdd installed-HP dv5000

I had a perfectly functioning laptop one week ago, and then I decided to "upgrade" the HDD to SSD.
I attempted to clone the HDD over to the SSD. The cloning process seemed to work fine. When I installed the SSD, I got an error message "System Disk Error". I re-installed the original HDD, and got same error message.
Thinking that I may have had a coincidental catastophic failure unrelated to my cloning attempt, I obtained a new mobo and HDD, installed both, and tried to install Windows fresh. I now get an error message similar to "No HDD installed in system".
With a new mobo, new HDD, I did not anticipate this type of problem.
I do not have any restore or rescue disks. I thought that if I put in a new HDD and mobo, windows should install without problem.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Hi,
I assume that you have used the same sata cable on both motherboards. My guess is that the cable or its connectors could be damaged by replacing the hdd for the ssd. I don't think that you would have almost the same problem on a new mtb with a new hard drive.

We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Pavillion zv5000 laptop wont boot from cd after mobo and hdd replace

So I inherited a dead zv5000 laptop with no hdd. I replaced the motherboard and CPU, and it powered up and booted from the cd drive with no hdd installed. I was able to run memtek and the original hp os recovery discs, with no hdd installed.
Then I put in an empty hdd. The bios sees the hdd ok, but I suddenly can't boot from the cd drive. The bios settings are correct, and the discs spin in the cd drive, but it wont boot with the recovery discs, memtek, or an original xp install disc.
When I remove the hdd, it still wont boot from the cd drive.
So I google and I read stuff about hp tattoos on hdds and motheboards and dmi, and no passwords for the average person to do the tattoo.
So what do I need to do ? I don't understand why it was good with the new motherboard, but as soon as I plugged in an hdd it wont do anyting. I cant update bios because I cant boot past the bios, and not sure how that would help anyway.

If you have an open firmware password, delete it. It will not boot off anything but HD with OF password. Or at least thats what it was for me.

My home button is getting stuck. I've purchased the express replacement plan and am now being told I didn't. I love my iPhone but will not continue to pay for services over and over. I need my phone fixed but will not pay again.

I need help to repair my phone and purchase the express replacement plan in 2012 and am now being told there is no record of it. I need this done and seen about ASAP.

Apple does not have an "express replacement plan" so are you talking about the AppleCare program? If so, and you did purchase that warranty extension, contact the plan by http://www.apple.com/support/applecare

SSD and HDD Installed but it runs super slow? Please Help!

Hi, I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7
8gb of ram. My hard drive died in my mac and I decided to replace it with an SSD and installed an HDD in the optical bay following Ifixit instructions. I booted into internet recovery and installed Mountain Lion (as it would not let me do a straight Yosemite install from a flash drive I had made on my gf's macbook, because it couldn't authenticate). After booting up and declining the usual iCloud prompts, I rebooted and installed Yosemite from the USB. It took a while, but eventually i booted up.
I moved my home folder to the HDD a 7200rpm Western Digital Black, which is in the optical bay, (the SSD is a Samsung 340 Pro and is installed in the Drive bay). Everything appears to be functioning, but it's slower that it had ever been using Yosemite on the HDD that had died. It take 35-40 seconds just to open System Preferences. I have used First aid on both drives via the Recovery and repaired permissions on both. I have reset the ram using option-command-r-p. I have booted into Safe Mode and Restarted the computer multiple times. Just opening a second safari window causes the spinning wheel to go for ten seconds or so. If anyone knows anything I can do, please help! I'm at a loss as to what I can do to fix this.
I'm really not sure what is going on. It seems to take a very long time to load a website, but after using safari for a bit, the app doesn't seem to have a problem responding to commands, just takes way too long to load anything. System preferences is all of a sudden crazy snappy, but is giving me the spinning rainbow wheel when I try and click on a pane saying "Could not load Users & Groups preference pane." After I click "okay" and try again it loads right up. Grrr.

Replaced LCD and Digitizer, Now it won't power up

I just replaced the LCD and Digitizer on my 1st Gen iphone. Everything went well and I powered the phone up, prior to sealing it back to make sure it was working. I got the message that the battery was completely drained and then the screen went black. I plugged it in to run off of the power cord, and now nothing happens when I power up. I don't want to seal it back up until I get it working. Does the battery need to charge for a while? What could have happened from the time I plugged it in and powering up? Thanks

I sent the phone out to have the battery replaced. They said that replacing the battery did not fix it.
check out this image: http://www.hennosy.com/iphone.jpg
The part that is red flashes when I start it up. After about 5-10 seconds the screen turns off.
What does this mean? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem and I am the only person who has ever been logged on to this computer to use iTunes Match. Only my wife also uses this computer, and she has never used or signed up for Match.
Interestingly, I have the same number of days listed on my error, 82 days.
Obviously, Apple has screwed up somewhere. I've put a help request in. If we cannot find a solution, we'll have to let everybody know that Match is a ripoff and that all should avoid this fraud like the plague...
Shalom, y'all!

I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up. how do I get previous copy of my back up??

i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday. Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp. If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore. iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.

After trying to install last update my itunes now doesn't work- have tried reinstalling and it gets struck saying mobile device not responding. Itunes says unable to successfully install itunes.

After a message on my computer to install an update a few days ago- I now can't open Itunes and have a message saying a module isn't working and I need to re install Itunes. However when I try to reinstall Itunes I keep getting an error message saying mobile device not working and then a message saying unable to install itunes. Any clues- Is apple stuffing up agian or is my computer mis behaving?

Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Differences between 10G intallations for vista and other windows systems

I need Informations about how the installationfiles for vista are differing from the files to install oracle on other windows systems.
And why can't i simply install Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows on a Windows Vista System.
Message was edited by:

Because Microsoft has changed the API with Vista - the system calls that programs such as Oracle (and Symantec, Word Perfect, and so on) use to performs their operations.
It is a strange thing indeed that things stop working when a program (such as Oracle) asks "fetch me data from disk" and the operating system says "fetch has been changed to get and I no longer respond to fetch"
Also because Microsoft has changed the security model, and requests made by Oracle are now denied due to insufficient, or differences in, security.
An analogy - you have a device with a plug to use in North America. Why can you not simply plug it in to the wall socket in other countries?
The information you need should probably come from Microsoft, not Oracle.

How do I start Photoshop CC after CC says it is installed?

I just joined the Creative Cloud and the CC window says I have installed Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. There is a Lightroom shortcut on my desktop which appears to open the app (I am new to Lightroom). However, there is no Photoshop CC shortcut. There IS a Creative Cloud shortcut which only opens the window described in the first sentence. Help! I am running Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1.

Strange... Well, there must be an Adobe Photoshop folder with the appropriate application icon in it somewhere in your Programs folder. You know how and where to find that ? You can then rightclick that icon and create a shortcut onto the desktop.
I wish the application icons in the CC Destop panel would "start" the applications, if present of course. That would be very obvious for them to do, I guess.
