Restart without System

I screwed up big time! A while back, I was cleaning up my old iMac to get it ready to sell or donate and was trying to do a fresh system install, but it would not start up from the CD. So as a last resort, I moved the System folder to the trash, thinking that it would force the computer to use the startup CD. No such luck. Now, every time I try to start it with the CD, whether I hold down the "C" key or not, it ejects the CD, then continues trying to start from the hard drive, finally displaying this screen: http://www.kellycheek.com/iMac.jpg
How can I get this thing started if it won't see the startup disk?

The PowerMac6,1 is the G4 iMac.
What version OS is the disk you're trying to use?  Does it say Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, or Leopard? Is it a CD or a DVD?  Is the disk, black or gray?
Did you try cleaning the surface of the disk?  Did you try using some compressed airto blow-out the inside of the super drive?
Good luck?

    Hi Pelle,
    Why did you delete your profile? Also how? Did you use the profile manager or did you delete from the windows file structure?
    It sounds like something during the profile delete has stopped Firefox from starting up. Please see the this article and follow the steps:

    Sometimes when I close Firefox and try to open it in few moments it shows me message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." However, I haven't opened any additional Firefox related programs, and previous Firefox is closed.

    Hi Andis.
    First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
    To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
    Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
    Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:

    Hopefully this will help.

  • X121e bios loop : "configuration changed - restart the system"

    After changing some settings in BIOS i got stuck in a reboot - loop.
    * Cannot access the BIOS any more - pressing F1 changes the message to "Entering BIOS Setup Utility" followed by the message "configuration changed - restart the system"
    * F12 changes the message to "Preparing Boot Device List" followed by  "configuration changed - restart the system" and the system reboots again.
    * Tried to remove the battery, pressing the power button for 10-15 sec. and reboot with AC Adapter connected
    * Tried to remove the battery and unplug the bios battery for 3 days the reset the bios - doesn't work
    * Tried to boot via USB (BIOS update, FreeDOS with BIOS update, Ubuntu-Live-USB) - nothing worked .. didn't change the boot-order - i always prefer USB boot
    * Removing hard-disk produces the message "no operating system found"
    Are there any tricks for resetting the BIOS to defaults, flashing BIOS without booting from USB?

  • I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 I restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend

    Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

  • Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!

    Macbook Pro won't start properly... keeps restarting without chime!
    Late 2007 Macbook pro.  OS upgrade worked great for me.
    I have had this problem on and off for a month or so.  I simply cannot figure out what the issue is.  I have tried poerup with and without AC power and with/without battery installed.
    Starting in Safe mode does not help.
    Trying to start with a disk does not help.
    It sort of seems like it might be an internal power issue or GPU issue.
    It also feels sort of like a software compatibility issue since my Macbook Pro gets reallly slugish for no apparent reason sometimes and IU have to restart.
    I have three different anti-virus programs so I doubt it is a virus issue.
    I noticed all this start after I did a Mountain Lion upgrade and then tried to start up VMware Fusion.  Fusion seemed to just bog down the computer horribly but did not cause a system crash.
    I need to edit an important sequence on Final Cut Pro and don't want it to freeze me out!
    Anyone who has had this problem and resolved it please let me know 
    God bless 

    Systematically run through this list of fixes.

    If it doesnt chine it doesn't mean much, the mute could be on or you installed a anti-chime software.

  • [TP x120e] Continuous "Configuration changed - Restart the system." error

    I played with my bios (disabled/enabled mic, webcam, LAN and so), but after exiting the bios, Thinkpad x120e  reboots continuously with the error message "Configuration changed - Restart the system.". I was not able to boot from any USB/HDD and also I can not enter to the BIOS. Hard bios reset won't help. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Have you tried unplugging all power, including the internal CMOS/RTC backup battery, from the ThinkPad X120e, leading the unit alone for a few minutes to let any capacitors holding a residual electic charge drain, holding down the power button for 30 seconds to complete the operation, then plugging in the AC charger without either of the batteries installed, then holding down the F1 key while pressing the power button to see if that gets you into the BIOS settings?

  • Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?

    Hi all
    I was wondering if I can find a query about this request:
    - Found all the Servers that were restart without the maintenance mode were actived ?
    It's to make a Report To include in Reporting Services.
    sorry for my English :)
    Thank you very much and have a good day

    Hi, first if the maintenance mode is activated no events are collected, then, as example, in default rules you can see the following
    Collection Rule for Windows Restarted Events that collects eventid=6005
    with eventsourcename=eventlog from System
    log which is enabled by default.
    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/support/ee/transform.aspx?ProdName=Windows+Operating+System&ProdVer=5.2&EvtID=6005&EvtSrc=EventLog&LCID=1033
    So you can check Data warehouse DB for presence such event
    select ComputerName, DateTime from Event.vEvent ev
    inner join Event.vEventDetail evd on ev.eventoriginid = evd.eventoriginid
    inner join Event.vEventParameter evp on ev.eventoriginid = evp.eventoriginid
    inner join vEventLoggingComputer elc on elc.eventloggingcomputerrowid = ev.loggingcomputerrowid
    where eventdisplaynumber = '6005' Order by ComputerName, Datetime
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2007/10/18/useful-operations-manager-2007-sql-queries.aspx
    So if you see this event it means the server was restarted and the maintenance mode was not activated.

  • Enque Server was restarted without restarting the J2EE engine (MSCS)

    Hello All,
    I've installed the Portal on Microsoft Cluster (MSCS) and everything is working well. Now when i try to move the Group from Node 1 to Node 2 to test whether it fails over or not?? It does fail over however, server node on CI and DI(Dialog Instance) gets crashed. I checked the log files and got the following:-
    <b>Enque Server was restarted without restarting the J2EE engine. This could lead to data inconsistencies and requires a restart of the entire system.</b>
    Has someone experienced this before, any ideas.
    Regards
    Vaib

    Hi vaibhav,
               We are planning to install a HA & Load balanced NW portal. I was looking to get some information regarding same. While going through SDN, I came across this message. Thought of writing to you, since you have already implemented this solution.
          Do you have any IDEA, whether SAP(Ok with other Institute also..) offer's any courses / Training for setting up HA (High-Availability) & LOAD BALANCING solutions for NetWeaver Enterprise Portal ?
    Or any books available for the same at SAP Press?
    PS: you also may refer to my message at SDN with the subject line: Courses / Books For HA & Load balancing for NW Portal

    when i click to open firefox it says that "firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." and I've tried to shut down and restart my computer but it keeps showing the same message. I've even uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled in the hopes that the problem would be solved but it this message is still popping up. What can I do to solve this problem?

  • Firefox is OPEN and working fine, but when I click a link in Thunderbird I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'

    If I click a link on my desktop or in any other program (while Firefox is open and running), I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There's about a billion links for this if you Google it, but they all say that Firefox wasn't shut down properly. (OK, maybe not ALL of them, but if the needle is in that haystack, I haven't yet found it.) That's not the issue in my case since I haven't shut FF down at all.

    This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

  • Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Update firefox, it asked me to update flash, I tried to update flash but it said I had to close firefox. A box came up and said the Flash install would continue when I closed firefox. I closed all firefox windows and no update of flash occurred. I tried relaunching firefox but got the "Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." message. I rebooted the system, no improvement. I tried to run firefox as administrator and got the same message. Either I find a fix or I won't be able to use firefox and will have to go back to ie.

  • I deleted the profile and firefox4 and then downloaded firefox4 again. But when i click firefox it says Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process,or restart your system.HELP!

    somehow i couldn't get rid of one website called www.searchqu.com/405 set as my homepage... I tried all solutions given to change the homepage but whenever i restarted firefox that homepage used to come automatically.. So, I deleted the profile (even from recycle bin!!) and deleted the firefox and downloaded it again hoping to get my problems fixed (which didn't happen!) because i'm getting dialog box saying- Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    You don't say which operating system you have installed?
    Assuming it's Windows, right click a blank part of the Windows Taskbar and go to Task Manager. Then click the ''Processes ''tab, find '''firefox.exe''' and then right click it and choose '''End Process'''.

  • I try to launch firefox get the following message "firefox is already running, but is not resonding. to open a new window, you must first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system" firefox is not running and restart doesn't work

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
