[Solved] T440s do not boot after recovery

Hi all,
I have a T440s lenovo laptop whose motherboard was replaced a few months ago.
Today I wanted to make a clean installation (windows 8) using the recover USB key I created before the motherboard replacement (note that I already used it and it was working before changing the board).
It goes through the different steps, deleting files and creating the partitions, but when it is done the computer is not able to boot on the hardrive. I have the following messages :
Intel (R) Boot agent Ge v1.5.43 copyring (C) 1997-2013 , Intel corporation
............. initializing and establishing link...
PXE-E61 - Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F - Exiting intel boot agent
(so looks like it is trying to boot on the pci lan)
Then it comes back to the boot menu where I have a choice between :
ATA HDD0
PCI LAN
If I select the first one nothing happens, and the the PCI LAN gives the above error message.
I tried to reset the bios parameters to default but it did not help. So I am wondering if it has something to do with some change in the motherboard ID, bios version....
I also launched the lenovo quick storage device test to check the hard drive and all was ok.
So if you have any inputs or suggestions of what I could try I would be very gratefull
thanks!
Edit : problem solved, I had to change a bios option to UEFI (the new motherboard was set by default to Legacy, messing up all the recovery process)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I finally fixed the problem.
I spent a couple of hours trying to fix the bcd with various methods described on the web using Bootrec /RebuildBcd, Bcdboot and also to set the proper partition as active. However none of the methods worked as I always got various error message telling me it's not possible to access the hardware (or "Failure when attempting to copy boot files." after bcdboot for example).
After what I realized that the new motherboard default settings were set to "Legacy" for the boot mode. I switched to UEFI, then went to the recovery process again (with new partitionning) and it was ok.
I hope this will help others, avoiding to loose time trying to fix the dcb in the command prompt (actually i don't know if it could have been fixed this way...)

[SOLVED] Kernel will not boot after update to 3.1.5

Not sure what went wrong here. Pacman seemed to hang when updating, so I CTRL-C'd it and restarted the upgrade. It seemed to complete properly. That was a few hours ago and I did not immediately reboot the computer but went on with my work instead. After rebooting the laptop I get this

If you foolishly interrupted the initramfs creation after a kernel upgrade and didn't regenerate it manually, you earned this.
You'll need to find a live CD so you can chroot to your install and rerun mkinitcpio.

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

My mac mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone

My Mac Mini does not boot, after backing the enire system onto an external drive with Carbon Copy Clone. I had switched the start-up disk back to the original of course. Now all I see is the Apple logo. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Try disconnecting any external devices, especially hard drives
and try rebooting.
If that doesn't help, then :
If you are running Lion, boot to the Recovery HD and run a
Repair Disk on the OSX partition.
If Snow Leopard, boot to the installl DVD and run Repair Disk.
Also, you may want to bookmark this:

Satellite A10-131 does not boot from Recovery or any other disk

I have a client who has a A10-131. I have had to reload the OS, but the new DVD-Writer will not boot the recovery CD or any other original Windows CD for that matter. Is anyone able to help with this problem. I need to find out what solution is possible with such a problem.
Thank You.

How did you try to boot from the drive???
Did you change the boot order in the BIOS???
Usually several boot possibilities are available.
1. You can press the C button immediately after notebook powering to detect the CD/DVD drive booting
2. you can use the F12 button to get the booting menu
3. you will change the boot order in BIOS to ODD firstly
But its interesting to know if your new ODD is compatible with the notebook

hi sathish291
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Power down the machine, remove the AC adapter and battery.
2. Hold the power button for 30secs and reconnect the AC adapter only then turn the computer ON.
If the machine still doesn't power up normally and boot into WIndows then it's likely that something went wrong (could be a bad BIOS flash or an internal component might have gone defective during or after the BIOS update). In this case, you may need to contact lenovo on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
# The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

Not Booting after recent Security Patch/Java update

My wife has experienced what many have experienced with the recent update.
MacBook not booting after update (i.e. - "I have no name!")
I have tried everything posted on this topic since 2/13/09, but without any success. Does anyone have the fix for this yet?
Things I have tried:
* I can boot in safe mode (holding "Shift" while restarting)
* I cannot boot from an install disk(s) (holding C while restarting) - I have both a black one from purchase, and two gray ones with purchase from MiniMac
* Booting with verbose - gets stuck at same place as everyone else
Operating in safe mode:
* I can run DU and "repair" drive
* I can see and access the CD/DVD
* I cannot see drive in target drive mode (doesn't ever connect the 2 systems)
* I downloaded the update files from apple and reinstalled them individually (via USB ext Drive) with a reboot in between
* I attempted to update & archive, but I cannot run install CD from any systems disks (see above)
Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot After Full Timemachine Restore

Hope someone can help. I upgraded my HD and attempted to restore from time machine. Everything appears to have worked well and the restoration was a success according to what the computer says. However, when I go to reboot I hear the startup sound then the apple pops up on the screen followed by a kernal panic error and the black box telling me that I need to hold down the start button and restart. I've tried resetting the pram, reinstalling from TM again and a couple of other things but it won't start up. I tried doing a clean install and it worked fine then I migrated files from my TM backup and that worked fine as well. However, that's not what I'm looking for, I wanted to get the machine exactly the way it looked before the upgrade and I thought TM was supposed to do that. I've read other forums were people have done it with no problems and am completely stumped at why it is not working. If anyone can shed some light I'd appreciate it.

I booted with the CD and after selecting the language, went to the utilities pane and used the partition feature.
Last night in desperation, I booted back to the CD and once again told it to do a full restore from TM. This was the third time that I had done it so far. The previous two times I had gone into the partition feature and partitioned the drive first. This time I skipped that step and just told it to restore from TM. It said if it did this it would erase everything on the drive. I agreed and let it do its work. This morning it once again, as in both previous times, said it had restored from TM successfully. I told it to restart and lo and behold, it booted and everything is just as I had it on the other drive.
Needless to say, I'm confused but happy. I just wish I knew why it would not boot after restoring the previous two times? Maybe it just wanted me to spend more money:) I tried booting today only after I had gone to frys electronics and bought a SATA to USB cable and cloning software.
Anyway, thanks for your help and if anyone knows why it wouldn't boot, let me know. It would be good to know for the future just in case. For anyone else having this trouble, keep trying. Third time was a charm for me.

Hard drive not booting after use of Recovery Manager on USB

The hard drive on my newphew's HP G62t-350 CTO Notebook was failing. I was able to create a recovery USB in the Recovery Manager. I installed a new 120 GB SSD. The original hard drive was larger, can't remember now but 250 or 500 GB. I know the Recovering the System after the Hard Drive is Replaced (Windows 7) says "To avoid problems, install a hard drive as large or larger than the replaced hard drive," but that's a question for later.
Computer booted fine from USB (in fact, is set to boot from USB if present by default). Recovery Manager starts. I choose minimal install. It goes through the process of partitioning the SSD and copying files. Then says to remove external media and reboot, computer will reboot several times during the process, blah, blah, blah. I pull out the USB and reboot, but after POST I get "No bootable media present".
If I try to reboot leaving the USB in, it boots to USB and we're back at the beginning. I am able to confirm with a rescue disk that the SSD has one NTFS partition that has had Windows files copied to it, and a large amount of unallocated space. (Something like 60%/40%.)
So:
How do I make the hard drive bootable, and if it were bootable, would the recovery process complete?
What's going on with the partitions? Is it creating the recovery partition first, and then after boot the recovery partition installs the OS? If so, I might have to abandon this process because since I'm moving to smaller storage, I don't want to devote half of the drive to a recovery partition.
Would official recovery media help? A tech told me that it would, but was not able to explain to my satisfaction why the USB I created with Recovery Manager didn't work, so I am suspicious about the claim that media created by HP as opposed to media created by me using HP's own software would be any better, and since the computer is out of warranty I don't feel like spending $30+ to find out.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Most persons that have installed an SSD that was smaller than the factory drive have been unable to use any HP Recovery Media with the SSD.
As an alternative, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the bottom the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25 digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. Please note that this installation will not have any of the HP customizations or HP value-added that was original installed on your computer. Also note that you will need to download and install most of the drivers from the HP G62t-350 CTO Notebook PC Drivers page.

[Solved] No boot bc changed file(Old:not booting after battery runout)

x86_64
kernel 3.7.9-1
Cinnamon DE
I was copying files from an external USB HDD and I didn't notice the battery was running out, and so it did run out.
Therefore it shut down, and now I can't access Linux. (Also tried fallback mode)
Also I'm dual-booting arch and w7, and w7 does boot, it's weird that arch just won't.
So Grub menu does load, but after selecting Arch , it just hangs with one text line and prompt, also can't input anything; it shows like this:
/dev/sda4: clean, 250964/1638400 files, 2039871/6553600 blocks
That's shown when I don't have the USB HDD connected (the one I copied files from)
And when I do have it connected, it's the same just some more lines:
/dev/sda4: clean, 250969/1638400 files, 2040885/6553600 blocks

Without the 'quiet' kernel parameter, it says that dhcpcd service failed and it stucks at [OK] Graphical User Interface.
Also managed to get the logs (dmesg,journalctl,xorg.0.log). And with all of your input I realized that I recently modified several files to have another keyboard layouts, which I still haven't managed to achieve. I remember I did reboot after the changes to those files, but other layouts never showed up, so I left those files modified (mistake)
Now the thing is that I thought that I had fixed one of them '10-keyboard.conf' in the above posts, as frank604 suggested commenting out the whole section inputclass. For some reason I Interpreted that as 'coment out only ''inputclass' line'' and never checked the log (xorg.0.log) after the change...
Well now after checking the new log, it says 'error on line 7' so after commenting out the whole section, like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "ye"
Option "XbkLayout" "us"
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "Keyboard-layout"
# MatchIsKeyboard "on"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us,es"
# Option "XkbOption" "grp:caps_toggle"
EndSection
I typed startx ,it didn't mark another error but it still wouldn't start,so I decided to reboot.
After that... arch does enter now !
All of this just because I wanted to change the keyboard layouts.
Having said that.. the problem was that file I modified and after removing my changes and rebooting, now it boots!. Seems like the 'battery run out while copying files' was not related to arch not booting, or so I think.
Thanks for all your attention
