SSD in T61p won't boot: ERROR 0200
I have put an SSD drive (Lenovo P/N 0A65620) in my T61p but although I can access the drive to install the OS, I cannot boot directly from the drive. I get "ERROR 0200: Failure Fixed Disk 0" even just having it in the list of bootable drives. I have the latest BIOS and the FDE addtional menus installed and it passes the HDD check in the BIOS.
The SSD is actually a Samsung 830 drive but the Samsung disk tools won't recognise it to check the firmware. Is there a Lenovo firmware update that I can install?
Solved by myself.
I suspected the updates, BIOS and software.
BIOS is not what I want to play around whit if it isn't necessary.
Better to go back in software history.
Fortunately I do save full mirror backups of the system disc. So i installed the BU prior to the latest updates.
That solved the problem.
I then had to update Windows. It still worked after that, so no fault put on Microsoft.
The most possibly reason to this issue is the latest updates from Lenovo. And it isn't the BIOS, I still have the latest and it works fine.
Exactly what software that causes the bug should be up to Lenovo to dig in to (it is in the area of Mars 2011 – this date)....
Kind Regards,

MacBook won't boot - Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
My wife's new MacBook won't start up. It crashed earlier today and when she tried to restart it, it got as far as the gray Apple logo and the spinning gear and then it reboots again. I booted it with the Leopard install disc and two strange things happened.
1. When the installer first opens, it gives me an error that says I cannot install Mac OS X on this computer. This is a 3 month old MacBook that shipped with Leopard, but it's telling me that OS X can't be installed.
2. When I run verify or repair permissions with Disk Utility from the Leopard disc, I almost immediately get an error stating "The underlying task reported failure on exit". When I try to verify or repair the disk, it says everything is fine.
The HD appears to be fine. I can access it from Firewire Target Disk Mode and everything is still there. I can also boot into Single User Mode, but not Safe Mode.
The night before the crash I made a change to the HD permissions via "Get Info". I copied the "Read/Write" settings to all enclosed folders because it was telling me that it couldn't install Flashplayer because I didn't have sufficient permission, even though she has an Admin account. After the change, Flashplayer installed just fine and everything was OK until this afternoon when she had a kernel panic while iChatting. iChat was the only program open at the time. She rebooted and hasn't gotten past the gray Apple logo since. I read in some other threads about people having the same issue after accidently setting HD permissions to "none". One suggestion was to use Firewire Target Disk Mode to open the drive with another computer and change the permissions back. I tried that, and the drive opened just fine, as I mentioned, but the permissions didn't appear to be set in a way that would cause problems. I set all of them to read/write and applied them to all enclosed folders just to be sure, but nothing changed when I rebooted.
Any other suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!ndelc wrote:
When I looked at the permissions for the HD in FW Target Disk mode, it was set to:
System: Read/Write
Admin: Read/Write
Everyone: Read Only
This is not your problem unless you have changed the r/w for special accounts elsewhere.
I have the same on my HD. But it's the individual files that are important.
Nothing there indicates that it should be locking her account out.
How do you create a new admin account from the Leopard DVD? It wouldn't allow me to do much of anything except Disk Utility.
I have not done it so I don't know, but there is a way to create a new administrator account using the DVD. Search these forums because I know others have done it.
Would it be possible to attempt to change things back by booting into single user mode? If so, what do I need to do?
I am not sure you can even boot into the Single User mode, or do you mean the Super User mode?
You have taken write privs away from everyone so I believe only a Super User can fix it. I am not even sure the Sudo will work in your case.
Thanks for your help!
If you find out how to access your drive from the Leopard DVD, you need to invoke SU privileges and undo whatever it was you did.
Were you using Time Machine? That would make fixing it a piece of cake. Just revert to the last backup before you made these changes.

#3- If the TFTP is rerun the entire cycle starts again.The IPS 4255 sensor appliance has only a single 512 MB internal CompactFlash module for storage by-default, so this part of the output you posted is interesting:
hda: TOQHIBA THLCD512MBA, CFA DISK drive

hdb: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hdb: 484848 sectors (248 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=481/16/63
As it appears that two (2) 256 MB ("248 MB") storage devices are being detected (despite the model of the first even containing "512MB" in its name).
I'd recommend double-checking that there is nothing installed in the "External compact flash device" slot located on the back of the appliance. See here for reference: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ips/7.0/installation/guide/hw_installing_4240_4255.html#wp2726
If there is a CompactFlash module installed there, eject and remove it, then power-cycle the appliance and attempt the re-image ("recovery") process once more. If the boot output still contains the same errors for hda and hdb, then it is probably a failing/failed CompactFlash module, so an RMA will likely be necessary to resolve. -
T61p - won't boot, no lights...
I was using my laptop this morning, and spilled tea nearby - got my USB keyboard (which I cleaned up), but didn't get _anything_ on my laptop or the docking station. I confirmed the docking station and AC Adapters work via a colleague's laptop, but my laptop simply won't turn on.
I don't get any lights on the LED display. Nothing.
The docking station won't recognize it - no power lights on there when it gets plugged in.
It's a 6460 DVU model, with the Advanced Docking Station, almost a year old.
Thus far, I've tried:
1) Having another similar model use the AC Adapter and Dock.
2) Tried a battery from another system.
3) Tried the '10-press+30' ESD discharge
4) Tried the '15-press+30' ESD discharge
5) Tried w/ Battery
6) Tried w/o Battery
7) Tried w/ DVD drive in bay
8) Tried w/o DVD drive in bay
AC Adapter is the 90W 20V model.
Battery is the extended model.
I have not yet tried removing the RAM.
Right after the 'incident' I moved the laptop (in dock) so it wouldn't get anything on it. It was on at first. I noticed it had turned off (I think it went into hibernation or something), so I undocked it and placed it elsehwhere entirely out of the way while I finished cleaning up and cleaned the USB keyboard I have for the Docking station.
When I went to start it, nothing happened. Initially the dock registered it and I think the LED signaled it; but it wouldn't turn on. So I removed it from dock again and it still wouldn't turn on. I tried removing the battery, and after that I got nothing period from there-on-out.
I noticed the following similar threads (from which I got some of the steps tried above), but none either have a solution or helped:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.id=32136

http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T_Series_Thinkpads&thread.id=31582
The problem seems to be very similar to the last one (thread.id 31582), but no one has replied there.
Anyone have any ideas?
I checked on Lenovo's support site and the system is still in warranty, so I'm about to call it up. But I thought I'd try here too - you know how supports calls usually are. (Fortunately this is my first w/ Lenovo; may be they're different. Not likely, but here's hoping.)
BenHi,
The exact thing happened to me recently, spilled tea on the keyboard ,disconnected from power source turned off and wiped it, turned it back on it worked, but when the battery was running low..... i connected to teh a/c adaptor and it would not recognize it, now when i turn it on the power indicator led does not glow and does not boot but if i disconnect and press power source i get a battery symbol blinking..... so if you have found any solution i would like to hear from u. unfortunately i do not have a warranty and the place where i gave it for repair could not fix it.please PM me. Thank you very much.
cheers,
Jay

Early 2008 mac pro won't boot from hdd when ssd is installed
I have Mountain Lion 10.8.3 installed on my 1TB HDD in my early 2008 mac pro. That is the only OS install on my mac. I have an OWC SSD formatted but left as an empty drive that I am trying to use but when it's installed my mac hangs on the blank gray screen.
My mac cold boots fine and runs fine when the SSD is *not* installed. When I shut down and put the SSD into a drive bay the mac does seem to boot ok the first time, but when the computer is off for a while it will not boot. It just hangs on the blank gray screen (no apple logo). As soon as I pull out the SSD, the computer boots fine and runs fine again. I am not trying to boot off the SSD, I am booting off the HDD. The correct drive (1tb hdd) is selected in startup disk.
OWC has been helping me and I have tested 3 SSD's. So it does not appear to be a problem with their drive.
The mac will boot into safe mode with the SSD installed. It will boot if I choose the boot drive with the option key at startup.
Mountain Lion was clean installed.
Could it be some sort of library pref or cache issue?
Any recommendations on what to try?A HT does not find a lot of errors.
It doesn't look for bad sectors or directory or file problems.
Clone your SSD now that you have a clean OS and has the Apple updates on it. Before you make changes.
Install TRIM Enabler 2.2+ on it and any boot volume, to enable TRIM and so that Disk Utility's Repair Disk will trim cells. Mountain Lion Recovery won't which is a shame, so...
Clone and keep bootable backup clone of your system to use for maintenance.
A really bad directory on a system drive will cause interference from booting.
SSDs really need extra care, and even with TRIM, to be repaired from time to time and couple times a year, to do an erase and restore from a current image.
Of course Mac OS system even iwth apps is small and doesn't need to have any data or media and fits on 120GB usually just fine and still have a good enough amount free so TRIM and Garbage Collection can work properly and not get low on free pages. But 20GB free should be the minimum free, and better to have more, at least whatever total amount is written out in a month. -
My q10 won't boot beacuse of bb10-0020 error
I'm not good at English.. It's so worry
I know that The solution of bb10-0020 error
Replace the bad battery with a new or charged battery.
my solution is below
1. I borrowed another well condition q10 battery
2. I exchanged the battery
3. Whenever I connect my q10 to original wall charge my q10 led twinkle red color just 2seconds
4. and then q10 turned on automatically, also show up bb10-0200 error message again
whenever I connect wall charger or computer, q10 power turn on automatically, bb10-0200 error message again,
won't boot and can't charge
fortunately, I can re-install OS10 throw bb-link or autoloader, I think this is not a mainboard problem
please somebody help mehI,
last night i had the same problem. The phone just shut down. everytime i open it, either it will shut down again or www.blackberryerror.com/bb10-0020 appears on my screen then it'll hang. I tried to follow the troubleshooting guide that blacberry has provided but none f the worked. I'm using a Q10, anyway.
What i did, I turned it on and let the error appears on my screen maybe 4 to 5 hrs or until such time that it turned off itself, Surprisingly, when i opened it after my experimental troubleshooting, the phone successfully opened again.
You might want to try this. Hope it'll work on your phone. -
T500 and Samsung SSD 840 ATA Password: ERROR 0200
Hi,
I upgraded my T500 with a Samsung SSD 840. Works great until I set a harddisk password. My password is accepted but this I get an error message from bios:
"ERROR 0200: Failure Fixed Disk 0"
Pressing ESC clears this error and boot continues. Any idea how to fix this? Bios is already upgraded to the latest version, the ssd firmware too.I the bios order makes no difference. I went from a working password protected Intel X25-M (120gb) that worked with password to a Samsung 840 Pro that didn't. The same setup, just different drive in my x200s before starting to experiment. I think there is an interaction in the x200/t400 generation bios and the Samsung 840 pro's firmware that requires Lenovo to fix. The Samsung will work with disk bios password in a X60s but not X61, which is consistent with the problems also in the T61's.
I've tried just about every combo of options (boot order, passphrase, setting the password on an x60) without any luck. So I've concluded that something in the Core 2 Duo systems bios is not compatible (ie Lenovo has a bios/firmware bug). From what I've read the x220's & x230's work with the Samsung 840 Pro. -
Portege R30 won't boot from SSD after upgrade to SSD and HDD under CSM mode
Hi
I upgraded my Portege R30-ASMBN22 to SSD (Crucial M550) and replace the optical drive by the original HDD with caddy.
In order to install Windows 7, I change the BIOS to CSM mode. But now the system won't boot automatically from the SSD. It only boot from HDD which is in the ODD spot.
I could press F12 while turning on my laptop, and bring up the boot manual. Here I can see my SSD and I can boot from it correctly. However, if I don't press F12 when it starts. It will always try to boot from HDD.
In the boot order in the BIOS, I only see HDD/SSD, USB Memory, ODD .... It doesn't give me the option to choose between SSD and HDD. Is there any other way to change the boot order among HDD and SSD?
Thanks,
LouisHi,
I did the same operation to my Portege R30-A-17C, and have the same problem, is there any way to boot without pushing F12 every time.
Thanks,

[HELP] Macbook Pro won't boot Samsung Evo SSD internally
I recently bought a 512 Gb Samsung Evo SSD for my 2011 Macbook Pro. After cloning the harddrive using superduper! I installed the harddrive internally and booted it up. I first received an error saying "Unapproved Caller SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple Software". Confused, I hit OK and it proceeded to showing the Apple bootup screen with the spiral underneath. I decided to restart the machine and this time I did not receive the error, however it just got stuck at the apple boot up screen with the spiral spinning for days. I brought it to Tigerdirect and they tried everything they could (apparently) and had no luck with cloning, fresh install, reinstalling OS, and so on. They told me the Boot Rom only (for some reason) recognizes the original seagate HDD and my boot rom is messed up. Freaking out, I tried placing the SSD in the computer and connect the original HDD via USB 3.0. I booted the HDD by holding down option during bootup then proceeded to system preferences and tried to changed the start up disk to the SSD. However, I received an error saying Bless tool was unable to set boot disk. I am now at a loss, and worried my pricey SSD will become dead weight. Please help
Thanks for anyones helpWere you ever able to fix the problem, I have the same issue.

HP G60 Vista Home won't boot. 2 different errors.
hello everyone, first post here, hope i can get some help. I have seen similar postings for my errors, but never both together. i get two different errors when trying to boot, and i'm trying to find out if anything can be done with this machine.
Again, HP G60 with Vista Home installed. The power cord was unplugged and the computer shut down incorrectly. When i plugged it back in, and then tried to turn it on, it gets to the boot screen and then gives this error:
0xc000000f -- The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
It gives two options, to start windows normally, or to use the boot disk (recommended), which i don't have (i made one years ago when i first go the machine, but have since lost/misplaced it). If i try and start normally it will fail again and it gives the below error:
File: \Windows\system32\config\system
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing, or corrupt.
I have tried the following:
Rebooted, In the Bios screen reset setting to default values. Boot menu shows HD is there. I pressed F8 to get to the Advanced menu screen, and tried literally all the options (repair, system restore, debugging mode, safe mode, safe mode command prompt, not in that order, but after the standard stuff was getting nowhere i just tried them all) in hopes of getting something to work, but to no avail. Every time it goes to restart and then back to the error messages. Doesn't even get to the Windows loading screen.
I tried to boot Linux distro from a DVD, to see if i can then get to the system files on the main drive. but even after putting the Bios boot order to CD/DVD first, nothing happens, or boot options from the Esc menu when first starting the machine, still nothing happens. Again, in hopes of something different happening, I tried all the options in the Esc menu (the one with like 5 options, including getting to the Bios menu), but other than being able to get to bios menu, nothing else happens.
Basically, whatever option i try in the boot screens advanced options, or Esc menu options when first booting, results in the error, i can't get anywhere past the boot screen.
Additional Information:
In the past there was a version of Linux Ubuntu on the machine, which has since been deleted and the partition restored to the main drive, however , i never removed the boot screen OS selection, so it always gets to the selection screen asking to boot vista or Ubuntu. Selecting Vista will give the error, Ubuntu will of course do nothing because it doesn't exist, but not sure if this is causing an issue when rebooting for repair.
Sequence of Screens after powere up:
HP screen that you can choose Esc menu from
OS Selection screen, F8 will bring you to Advanced options.
After choosing Vista, error: 0xc000000f -- The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
After choosing any option, error: 0xc00000e9 windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing.
At this point i'm willing to forgo the files that are on the machine, if i can recover them it would be a bonus. Any ideas would be great. would a boot disk even work if it won't boot the linux distro? is there a way to do a system recovery if the one in the advanced options is not working and giving the same error?Yo! I have found the solution!
Listen, in advance sorry for my bad english!
If you have Windows 7 CD or USB put it in an boot inside.
Then, first step about language click next
Then, click on repair and wait
Then, unmark Windows 7 (if you dont do this it will scan and try to repair but we dont want that) and click next
Then, click on Command Promt, when command promt is open type next :
(In my case the usb was X:\, and the system partition was C:\, so i will explain for my case)
1. Navigate to X:\Windows\System32\ (you type X:\cd Windows bla bla, i hope that you know the basics in Command Prompt)
2. When you are in X:\Windows\System32\ type COPY config C:\Windows\System32
3.Restart computer and hit enter on start windows normaly
You dont need to install windows again
I hope i helped you and that you did understand me -
Powermac G5 - ocz Agility 4 ssd won't boot
G5 Power mac - ssd storage upgrade - ssd drive won't boot when blessed.
1. Installed 2 new drives into old G5. Upper slot - 2TB sata hdd, Lower slot - 256GB ssd OCZ Agility 4.
2. Formatted both drives as Mac OS extended (Journalled).
3. 2TB drive partitioned into a 'Data' partition. (~90%) + a 'Backup Boot' partition (~10%)
4. Installed 10.5 onto the ssd.(Named 'System 10.5')
5. Restarted system as part of install.
6. System booted back to installed disc.
7. Went into 'Startup disc'. Selected ssd with 10.5.
8. Restarted system. System still boots to install disc.
7. Installed 10.5 onto 'Backup Boot' partition on 2TB drive.
8. System restarts OK.
9. From 2TB hard drive system. set ssd to startup disc.
10. System restarts to 2TB hdd.
11. Restart system, hold down option, ssd appears. select as boot disc.
12. System boots to ssd, and the welcome animation starts to complete the install.
13. Download the 10.5.8 combo update and install.
14. System doesn't reboot to ssd, but 2tb hdd.
Aware the booting requires a system folder (drive) to be 'blessed', I started poking around the web to verify if the ssd was set for the startup.
Running the command : 'bless -info' returned the following:
finderinfo[0]: 215 => Blessed System Folder is /Volumes/System 10.5/System/Library/CoreServices
finderinfo[1]: 239774 => Blessed System File is /Volumes/System 10.5/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
finderinfo[2]: 0 => Open-folder linked list empty
finderinfo[3]: 0 => No OS 9 + X blessed 9 folder
finderinfo[4]: 0 => Unused field unset
finderinfo[5]: 215 => OS X blessed folder is /Volumes/System 10.5/System/Library/CoreServices
64-bit VSDB volume id: 0x9FC3EB20743384E4
So the system was 'blessed'. Tried the 'option key' method at startup but still not getting the ssd to appear as a valid boot option.
Looked on the OCZ website which has a Mac OS boot utility for flashing the firmware on the ssd drive BUT the drive is already on the current firmware : 1.5.2
Running out of ideas, short of re-formatting and re-installing the system onto the ssd.
Any ideas of other fixes?
(Feedback really appreciated).
Screengrabs of sata drive profiles attached. (hopefully)
Thanks in advance.
Ps. Ssd drive appears on desktop reads / writes / etc when booting into the hdd.THANKS BDAqua FIXED !!
I hadn't installed the ssd into the top slot due to not being able to easily fit the apple rounded hd screws into the mounting tray - hence just letting it sit in the lower position. By working out the holes of the OCZ tray with some other hd screws, I was able to fit the apple hd screws then slot into the top (upper) position & the 2tb drive in the lower position.
Now all working as expected. Thanks again.

MDD FW 400 won't boot OS 9 | System error "Unimplemented Trap" Huh?
Hey guys, I need help with a weird problem. I recently bought a MDD dual 1.25 with 1.5MG RAM, CPU Type:PowerPC G4 (3.3), Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2. It came with a single 60 gig drive in it with OS 10.2.6, and it used to boot directly to the OS 9 system folder just fine. I took out that drive, installed it in my old Blue & White POS, gave that to my wife and now have: a seagate 80 gig drive (originally in the B&W), as well as a 160 gig & a 200 Gig.
All three drives have 9.2.2 on their own partitions, as well as on the 2 master drives with OS 10.3.8 & 10.3.6 respectively. I can’t boot directly to 9 from any of them.
The 200 gig drive was the only one of the 3 formatted directly from within the MDD, clean install, with OS9 drivers selected on install.
When I select ANY of the OS9 partitions, even the OS9 system folders on the OSX partitions for that matter, I get:
1. a grey screen (for a little too long)
2. then a happy mac box (and the cursor appears)
3. Then an empty floppy disk icon
4. Then a “?” inside the floppy disk icon
5. finally a system 9 style “bomb box” and:
“sorry, a system error occurred. Unimplemented trap. To temporarily turn off extensions, restart and hold down the shift key” .
There is a restart button. Perhaps I should mention the error dialog is apparently blocking what appears to be the “Welcome to Mac OS 9.1” screen before the icon march.
Maybe that 9.1 means nothing, but I HAVE NO 9.1 system folders on any disks. They are all 9.2.2... Well that part just bugs me.
The issue is that when I click “restart” and hold down the shift key as directed, the same actions above 1 thru 5 happen, and I’m back at the bomb.
The only way out of the cycle is to “option restart”, and all my partitions show up EXCEPT the OS 10.3.8 partition I had begun the process from. Since I have another OSX partition on one of the disks, I can select that and boot to it no problem. I am then able to select the original OSX partition on the “main” drive, and return to square one, where the cycle began. All the OS 9 system folders can be used to “boot” classic mode, and Tech Tool, Disk Warrior, all are run regularly and report minimal issues. The machine works fine, except for this one issue.
So, why is my MDD preventing me from booting directly into OS9? I read somewhere on another thread that the boot ROM is system specific, so that might answer why the drive pulled from the B&W won’t boot to 9, but the new drive was formatted by the MDD disks, and I even tried a reinstall of OS9 to that disk in an attempt to “unstick” the system. All system 9 folders reside on master drives (so slave is not the issue).
But none of the 9.2.2 folders when selected will bring me anywhere but the bomb, apparently “TRYING” to boot OS9.
WHAT am I missing here? Any ideas?
I need my Nine!!

B&W G3, Mirrored Drive Door G4, Beige Tower Mac OS X (10.3.8) Atto USB card, combo drive, super driveAJ,
Consider me dyslexic about the MDD. I don't know how
to reset the PMU on it. My beige G3 had a button on
the motherboard
there is a button on the motherboard of the G4. Location and color may vary. Usually black or red, mounted on a raised silver or black square...typically about 1/4" square
the B&W had a "programmers button" on the front faceplate
That's also known as an 'interrupt switch' With the appropriate debugger software, programmers could push that button and call up the debugger, which would allow them to trace their code and issue low level commands. Sometimes useful to break out of a crashed program without pulling the plug.
I know what I know from doing & reading and yes I have a
system folder or two that began in a 6320CD Performa
I think that was one of the machines that required a special file to boot - which is the file I cannot recall the name.
If that file still exists in your system folder, then it may be the culprit.
I'm certified dangerous because of knowledge gaps....
Aren't we all?
such as CDEVs are control panels?
CDEV is ControlDEVice, otherwise known as a control panel.
init's are mostly extensions?
Yes.
and what are TSR's?
Terminate and Stay Resident. Actually a DOS term for a program that runs, quits, but remains loaded in memory.
Apple calls them inits.
Many of the icons that appear during the OS9 boot process are functionally TSRs.
Init conflicts usually were the result of two or more of these programs fighting over the same block of ram.
It sound like you're asking me to search the system
folder for some invisible files correct?
No. The files should be visible. Since you can't yet boot to 9 (thus might not be able to get to use startup manager), I gave you the hard way to find and disable them.
Recall the OS9 startup mananager, which allows you to selectively enable and disable startup items? When you use startup manager, active items (with a check) will be in a folder named, for example, Control Panels. Inactive items, those without a check, will be in a folder named Control Panels (disabled)
To activate the startup manager at boot, hold down the spacebar. It should be the first thing to load. You can select OS9 only, none, or selectively tunr items on/off. Startup manager will automatically move items from the active to the disabled folder.
If you know the file names, you can manually move things from one folder to another, (which is the process I described)
All those files load in alphabetical order. Some of those items want to be loaded first, so the file was named with a leading space, period, or similar. ( Adobe type manager, for example)
There are a couple that are named such that they will load before startup manager.
Since your crash is almost immediate, I'm betting it's one of the first to load TSRs thats causing the problem.
The 80 gig resides in the B&W, so you're suggesting,
pulling it, installing it in the MDD & dragging the
system folder from there?
That is one method. Or mount the BW with Target disk mode and copy it across. Or copy the system folder to CD.
or if the machines are networked, copy across the network. Or USB memory stick, depending on the size of the folder.
The object is to get a known working drive with a known working/bootable OS into the new machine. Since I know my machine will not see either the 200 or 160 when boot to 9, and on some machines, 9 will not see anything over 128gb, I suggest getting a known good copy of 9 on a drive physically smaller than 128gb (not a sub 128 gb partition of a much larger drive)
Temporarily disconecting the larger drives has no purpose beyond helping eliminate the complexity during diagnostics and troubleshooting. You know they work as intended, and are not part of the problem. -
Plz help
My mac won't boot up it goes to a apple sign then the spin thing then gives me a error msg on a 10.5.8 imac what do I do?Hi LIsa,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Or..
Tough without the Install Disk problems, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return. -
HP Elitebook 8560w Won't Boot UP -- Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart
Hello. I have an Elitebook 8560w, that won't boot up. The screen says "Disk Read Error Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart". The screen isn't all black...there are some random colored square pixels with a random flashing !, but it's mostly black.
I've run the diagnostics and the F4 Hard Disk Test has passed everytime I've run it. I can hear the hard drive running, so mechanically it's okay (not sure on the logic side).
The F3 Run-in Test fails under the Memory Test, it reads "Run-in test failed - Failed Memory Address 0x76B99000 Pattern expected - 0XFEFFFF Pattern Read - OxFFFFFF
I tried a new 4GB DDDR RAM (removed the old one), and it hasn't helped. I should add before I changed RAM, it failed memory test and said "Disk Not Found".
That made me think it was the hard drive, but the hard drive test has always passed.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm lost. I have a new drive and ram coming from HP, but hoping I can salvage info on HDD.
Also...the computer was set up with Windows 7 as new, but my company reimages everyone's computer and installs XP. So I'm not sure running the HP CD (assuming I can find it) would even help.Disk read failure and disk not found are classic signs of a hard drive failure. The memory failed the test, so it looks like this had two issues at once.
The good news is that the right parts are on their way. If you want to save your data, do not use the recovery disks for the system. They will wipe the hard drive if it is still functional for them.
With regards to retrieving your data, have you talked to the IT team yet? Most IT departments have a process for data retrieval on company equipment.
If they do not have a process setup to do that, then you could try getting a notebook hard drive external enclosure. They usually run fairly cheap for a basic enclosure and that is enough to connect the hard drive externally to a different computer using a USB cable to copy data from it. This would work provided they do not encrypt the hard drive. If they do encrypt it, contact the IT team for their process as encryption limits the methods that are available.
