System halting with Second disk

My Early 2011 MBP suddenly stopped sleeping a while back. In googling I found that the DVD drive was the culprit (cable not seated properly) So I just took the whole thing out because the OWC data doubler (DD) was on sale.
Used the data doubler with a 60gb ssd with Windows 7 installed for about 7 months. It worked great! Very fast too!
Then about halfway through the semester, my system ground to a halt, it wouldn't shut down, it wouldn't sleep, it barely booted. When I did get it to boot, the keyboard wouldn't work... When it wouldn't boot, the EFI commands wouldn't work.
I finally remembered the DVD issue and unplugged the DD, my Mac sprang back to life! Been working great since, but if the secondary isn't working, what's keeping the pirmary from failing in the same way?
My question to you, has anyone else seen the secondary sata controller fail like this before?

Well, you have to use something to restore the files. To restore to the way it was originally, you would need the recovery disks from HP.  They put 4 partitions on the hard drive and put the utilities and recovery files on separate partitions. The system partition will then direct the boot to the utilities, recovery or the operating system.   What operating system did you have in 2004?  Was it windows XP home, pro?  Can you read the 25 digit key code for the windows?

  • Can one put XP image on the second disk with "img"?

    Hi all,
    We have a requirement to put in two IDE disks in the same machine and
    image the machines with different XP systems, each hard disk hosting one
    operating system.
    I was wondering whether Zen "img" utility allows for putting images on
    more then one disk. Say for example:
    XP-image1.zmg --> to hda (disk1)
    XP-image2.xmg --> to hdb (disk2)
    I have read documentation which mentions the ability of img program to
    image partitions but not other disks. Any ideas? Preferably a command
    line sample if there is such would help.
    Cheers,
    Skender

    Thanks for quick reply Dave. Looks like this will do the job for me.

  • This disk doesn't contain an EFI system partition. If you want to start up your computer with this disk or include it in a RAID set, back up your data and partition this disk.

    As stated above. I get this when I try to resize my HD. Was having issues with BootCamp so I removed it and got this.
    This disk doesn’t contain an EFI system partition. If you want to start up your computer with this disk or include it in a RAID set, back up your data and partition this disk.

    the same problem...
    any help?

  • [SOLVED] Long time with excessive disk access before system reboot.

    I feel I would be grateful for some help here. It's my first go at Arch Linux having used Xubuntu for several years. It may be I'm missing something obvious but then I would be happy if someone could point me in the right direction.
    Problem: When I do a system restart by issuing
    $ systemctl reboot
    I get the following output
    Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
    Sending SIGKILL to remaining processes...
    Unmounting file systems.
    Unmounted /sys/kernel/debug.
    Unmounted /dev/hugepages.
    Unmounted /dev/mqueue.

    However, after the last line is printed, the system does not reboot immediately but hangs for about 2 minutes with heavy disk activity. I can't say if it is read or write or both, but the led of my HDD is lit constantly. When this activity stops, the machine reboots.
    $ systemctl poweroff
    works as expected, i.e. shuts down immediately without excessive disk access.
    I see this behaviour both with the installed Arch system and when I run the live installation/recovery CD. It is also the same if I boot into the busybox rescue shell and then restarts the machine from there. It also does not seem to matter if any partition on the disk is is mounted or not, the behaviour is always the same with 2 min. heavy activity before reboot.
    System setup:
    Sony Vaio VPZ13. Intel Core i5 M460, 4GB ram, 2x64GB SSD in RAID0 configuration via bios setting (a.k.a. fake raid), partitioned like:
    windows boot
    windows system
    linux swap
    linux "/"
    linux "/home"
    So it's a dual boot setup with Windows 7.
    The raid array is assembled by mdadm, and I have mdadm_udev among my mkinitcpio.conf hooks (after blocks but before filesystems).
    Snip from journalctl log showing actions when reboot has been issued:

    Since I have used Xubuntu without hassle for several years, I first thought the problem may be related to systemd reboot and something in my system setup. But I have tried the Fedora 17 live CD and rebooting there works as expected. So, since it works in one systemd distro, it should work with Arch as well.
    Then I thought that it maybe had something to do with the raid-array, something along the lines of
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752593
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879327
    But then I found the shutdown hook for mkinitcpio and now I see that the array is stopped and dissassembled. So thats not the problem either. (Or thats what I guess at least.)
    Unfortunately I'm out of ideas. Any help would be grateful.

    It turned out that the magic word for me was "reboot=pci" on the kernel command line. With that option set it works lika a charm The machine reboots nice and clean.

  • Re-install Tiger with target mode - how to boot to second disk?

    I am resurrecting a friend's macbook. In the process of upgrading to Snow Leopard, the DVD drive quit. The install never finished and on boot it was showing the grey and black "please restart your mac" screen.
    I used disk utility to repair the disk but it still booted to the error message. I erased the HD and was able to get it to boot using an install on a firewire drive, but I haven't been able to install it on the macbook HD.
    I created disk images for each disk and put them on separate partitions on the firewire drive. I was able to install Tiger on her HD all the way to the "insert second disk" message, but don't know how to switch to the other partition where the disk 2 install is.
    The original Tiger install is on the two disks that came with her computer. The Snow Leopard is the retail version on one DVD.
    Any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    Unless you can boot your computer from Tiger then you cannot install Tiger via Target Disk Mode onto the other computer. You need to get an external DVD drive for the non-working computer or you can clone the installer DVD to an 8 GB flash drive and boot the computer using the flash drive via OPTION boot.
    You can put both DVDs on a 16 GB flash drive that has been partitioned into two volumes.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the flash drive. Source means the installer DVD. If you wish to put both DVDs on a 16 GB partitioned flash drive, then the destinations will be a volume on the flash drive.

  • White screen of death and computer halts with ATI 4870 in Boot Camp

    Hi!
    I have just received the ATI Radeon 4870 for my Mac Pro (Early 2008)and have upgraded my Leopard to 10.5.7 and works fine on the Mac side. When I reboot and hold the command key I can see my MAC and my BOOT CAMP 2 options as always before. When I click on boot camp I get a white screen with a black frome around it and there is NO hard disk activity and nothing happens no matter how long I leave the computer alone. Before I had no problem booting into my boot camp loaded with vista 64 bit. I have another partition with parallels and that is fine but not this boot camp partition.
    I am using ONLY this card in the system. I removed the NVIDIA card.
    ALso I tried putting in my Vista 64bit DvD into the drive and rem=booting and see the option when hold the option key to go into MAC,WINDOWS,DVD.... When I select DvD and computer adjust to work in a windows enviroment again the system halts. SO I believe it has nothing whatsoever to to do with drivers inside Vista. It would have to be something that needs upgrading for bootcamp to allow for this video card to work on Bootcamp?
    Again I have the latest updates of the OS.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for all your time!

    CorkyO recommended what I would do: install old card, uninstall any graphics drivers and delete them, and use Driver Sweeper as well. So that there is nothing there.
    If you have a raw unformatted drive, pull everything else and leave that in.... as if it was a PC and starting for the first time.
    Don't use Boot Camp Assistant.
    Don't put Windows on the same drive as OS X.
    Do try Windows 7.7100 RC 64-bit.
    Apple has not posted a link to graphics drivers since early 2008.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1442 - "Not found" and WAY out of date (167.xx) which would be foolish and obviously would not support Vista or 4870.
    I would pull the Vista drive for another reason, too, so you can start fresh and import or access the files on it later.
    Vista is sensitive to the presence and drive position of where the drive and OS was, the master boot record and such which I confess to not fully understanding.
    Which is another reason to install Windows with no other hard drives present.
    You keep saying you used COMMAND rather than OPTION key to restart into Windows, so figure typo/slip.
    I would RESET SMC and ZAP PRAM/NVRAM. Force the device tree to get rebuilt. And that is important to OS X - suppose to do so but the G5s it never worked properly on its own.
    There is a reason why people that play with graphics cards and drivers use Driver Sweeper, it works, and it is essential at times.
    Early boot is under the control of EFI. I don't know what if anything Apple does (I don't trust the firmware updates that were suppose to provide better Windows compatibility only to learn it was mostly for XP and not Vista, and that it added a full 30 seconds to my boot routine into Windows - where EFI + Boot Camp does make Windows think there is a traditional BIOS.... my best summary guess.
    Work with the only factual symptom: pulling one card and putting in 2nd is causing a problem.

  • Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool

    Hi,
    For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
    I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
    Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
    Console Log follows:
    ===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
    2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle

    Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
    com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
    com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
    System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
    I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
    When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
    I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
    Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
    However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
    Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.

  • How do I retrieve data from a HD that cannot be repaired with utility disk?

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro 15 inch mid 2010. It has 4gb of ram and 500gb of storage. I recently upgraded to Mavericks OSX10.9,4.
    First of all, when turning on my mac the screen just loads forever, hence it does not pick up the HD. It also displayed the circle with a line through icon once.
    Upon noticing this, I tried to repair the disk but it said it was unable to. The other disks are ok but the MAC HD says it stopped repairing when I attempted to repair it.
    Using single user mode (command + s): I tried this, but it continued to says the same i/o error code:
    disk0s2: i/o error.n
    0 [level 3] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype IO] [IOType Read] [PBlkNum 57547320] [LBlkNum 67604]
    0 [level 3] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [DevNode root_device] {mountPt /] [Path /private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64]
    And it kept going and going.
    I'm afraid to try anything else. I have no Mac back up in time machine (I know) but I have an external. Is it possible to retrieve the data by wiping the external and using the utility disk to transfer to HD to the external? Is that what people call cloning? Is this physical damage/can i still recover the data/use it and section off the damaged parts and use the spare space?
    Help would be appreciated!

    i/o errors generally mean that a part of the disk cannot be read. That can prevent the disk mounting or prevent the entire disk being read after the error.
    Disk Utility is not great at addressing issues like this & data recovery specialists are the safest (and most expensive) option for recovering data from a disk in this state.
    As others have said it's critical to avoid any use of the disk since if it's a mechanical fault it could seize or finally give up functioning.
    If you are intent on recovering 'on your own & on the cheap' you could look at ddrescue – it clones a disk by copying the data stream whilst ignoring errors from the source disk, the data on the second disk could be 'repairable' with additional tools.
    http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
    TestDisk & Photorec are also good when used for the right fault.
    http://www.cgsecurity.org
    These are all *nix tools & require competence at the command line! Just installing can be too much for some non technical users.
    You also need lots of spare disks to move data onto to run the tools.
    Kappy, is CNET Downloads really a good recommendation? They have a habit of bundling other junk with third party app installers. Go straight to the vendors site would be my advice (using 'https' where available).

  • [solved] Problem with ssd disk, deleted files don't free space?

    Hello.
    I bought some time ago an ssd disk on which i installed arch. After some free time I changed my laptop optical drive with standard hdd and moved /home and folder with data (mainly music collection) to standard drive. To my surprise my ssd was filled as it were before. My fstab from beginning have had TRIM option enabled:
    LABEL=root / ext4 rw,noatime,discard,commit=600,barrier=0 0 1
    tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,size=5% 0 0
    tmpfs /var/spool tmpfs defaults,size=5% 0 0
    LABEL=karta /run/media/kaira/karta/ ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,data=writeback 0 1
    LABEL=home /home ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,data=writeback 0 1
    LABEL=dane /dane/ ext4 rw,noatime,barrier=0,commit=600,data=writeback 0 1
    where the last three lines were added after second disk was installed.
    And now the great mystery for me:
    du -h / |sort -h -r|head -n 5:
    3,7G /
    2,7G /usr
    1,6G /usr/lib

    27G was the state before most data was transfered to different hard drive.
    Both commands where executed after partition with music was unmounted.
    I executed also fstrim / command, but it changed nothing.
    Is this behavior normal, or maybe i didn't made something important/ my disk is damaged?
    I know that 24% fulfillment is trivial, but now it definitely should show 3,5%.

    Yes, I run this command as a root. I manage to repair this problem by mounting root partition in ubuntu live cd. I found folder which should get deleted, but it still was in filesystem. Unfortunetly I don't remeber, how i copy files. Propably i used rsync and forget to delete files. Now it's too late too check this theory, but I'm really happy with proper sizes:
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

    Lesson learned - never manage important system changes after getting up, without enough sleep time.
    Thank you for you're help, and sorry for wasting time with my mistakes.

  • SOS!! PROBLEM WITH  MY  DISK DRIVES. I'M TOTALL CONFUSED

    it looks like my last problem was just the tip of the iceberg. To recap: At the time my goal was to rescue files from the two hard drives in my Mac G4, which I was ready to part with, when I learned dhow much repairs would cost. Can't remember how far along I was in the process when I requested help, but eventually was able to transfer the files from both drives to a much larger Seagate external drive. Before disposing of the drives, I figured I had better erase them, as well. Had I known it was going to take 5 days to run 7 passes, I might have had second thoughts, but once it was completed successfully, I decided to do the same for the second drive, which was much smaller.
    My current problem started when I connected that drive to my iMac (via a USB to IDE & SATA cable) and brought up the image; then got cold feet, thinking of the possibility I might accidentally erase everything on my iMac.
    Before erasing the larger drive I had "colored " the icon orange in order to differentiate it from the drive on the iMac, but got spooked when the new drive also showed up orange this morning. Also thought I remembered seeing a choice of drives to erase the first time, but this time did not see an icon for the iMac. Also could not find it on the desktop, since it was not where I remembered having seen the last time I looked (probably ages ago — buried in the upper right hand corner — usually under a stack of other files).
    After much searching, I found an icon elsewhere on the desktop, but with the name I recalled having given to my G4 — not that of the iMac, which I don't think I ever renamed. . . And when I clicked on its desktop, the files looked familiar, but definitely different than the ones I expected to find. . . On the other hand, clicking on the finder's desktop, brought up all the files I expected. The number of files on drive each also was different. The icon's desktop showed 111 documents; the finder's desktop twice that many . . . but the total unused capacity for both was identical.
    All I can think of is that I must have messed up when I first got the iMac several years ago and used a crossover cable to transfer files onto it from the G4. I do recall that my intention was to copy only the files I really wanted, but suddenly ended up with everything from the G4's drive. But even if I did, I suspect but am not sure I understand why I ended up with the G4's icon and not just a bunch of files in a folder. . . Also, if the icon was there from Day 1, does that mean I somehow renamed the iMac's icon, or was there ever an icon for the iMac drive in the first place?
    Finally, can someone reassure me that if I just go ahead and erase the "orange" drive, I won't destroy any of the files on my iMac desktop today? Since all I could find in the icon was a bunch of old files, I would sort thru them at my leisure and get on with my life today. I

    Still trying to follow last suggestion, but am starting to feel like a Mac newbie. I'm relly not, which makes it even more frustrating.
    Have been trying since the weekend to start up from my install disk. (Holding "C" key down while rebooting . . . but the Install searched the Startup Disk Folder, bu it only shows System X and Network.disk is not booting; just sitting on the desktop with the option to install). Have also searched the "Startup Disk fodler" but it only shows system X and Network.
    Meanwhile, I contacted Seagate Tech support, which was amazingly helpful, considering their internal drive was added to my now deceased Powermac G4 at least 8 years ago. Technician agreed that the memory probably was "clipped" some way, but emailed a links to 2 files that should work on Mac (http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/seatools/SeaToolsDOS217EURO.ISO
    User Guide. and http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=201271 . . . suggesting that I burn the first one to a separate disk and boot from that. But since my iMac won't recognize another Mac startup disk, am just a little reluctant to try with one that's "outside the family."
    Any chance I could end up making my current problemn worse, rather than better?

  • Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)

    Hello,
    I tried to re-install de OS from windows 7 to windows 8.1 and when the bios update driever was installed and the laptop was restaring it appeared the folowing window and message:
    Boot Device Not Found Please Intall an Operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk - (3F0)
    After that i tried a lot of different ways to get to boot device select ...but i couldn't do anything. I removed the HDD and i put it back, i've tried with holding in the same time windows +B and pressing the power button in the same time for 1..2 seconds and then i've waited for at least 1 minute..and it didn't appeared anything on the screen. I've done the hard drive check and it passed. The weirdest thing is that when i want to select a boot device to re-install again the OS, i can't see any boot device to select. I need to mention that i've formatted the HDD in another computer. I dont care about the informations from the HDD beacause i saved all the informations on another device storage.
    Please help me repair this problem!!!  thanks a lot!
    Have a nice evening.!!!

    Whenever you get a message stating that the boot device not found it could be because of bad sectors on the Hard Drive. Its not necessary that the Hard Drive Test should fail to determine if the Hard Drive if its faulty or not. Sometimes even if the Hard Drive Test passes the Hard Drive will still not work because of the bad sectors in it.
    Best way to find out if its the Hard Drive you can try the Hard Deive on a different Notebook which would help you determine if it's faulty or not.
    Could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
    HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
    Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
    Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
    Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
    Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
    Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
    Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
    If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
    If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
    Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

  • Problem with SSD disk in MacBook Pro

    I have a very weird problem with my SSD drive 128 GB in a MacBook Pro (early 2011). The warranty has already expired, I don't have Apple Care.
    I had Mac OS Lion installed, and once when I opened the lid as usual to wake the system up, the system appeared to be frozen. I had to shut it down, and when swithched on again, the system didn't load - it was showing the apple and loading circle all the time.
    I've tried a lot of things:
    1) First I checked the disk loading from the CDs that came with the laptop. Disk verification didn't run for the first time (image), for the second time it showed an error (image)
    2) I went to Apple store, where they made a quick hardware check, which showed everything was OK, supposed that it was a software problem a offered me to reinstall the OS. And failed to do that.
    3) I took out the hard drive and connected it via USB adapter. I could see and read the contents of the disk.
    4) I COULD LOAD the OS and work from the disk, connected by USB
    4) I tried to reinstall the OS myself (with the disk connected by SATA), and it was always freezing when searching for available disks.
    5) I installed the OS on this drive, connected by USB - all went smoothly, it installed and was working, while when connected through SATA it didn't load.
    6) Finally, I swapped my SSD with freshly installed OS with a usual HDD from another mac. BOTH WORK: my SSD in another Mac, and HDD in mine.
    So, I've come to a conclusion that the problem is not in the disk itself, and not in my laptop's SATA interface, but in communication with SSD through SATA, probably some controller on the mainboard.
    Question: Can anybody suggest anything on how I can confirm or disprove that? Or any thoughts about whether it can be fixable or not?
    Thanks.

    Exactly the same happened to me. Yesterday morning I opened the lid of my MBP8,1 (late 2011) on a meeting with a client and It just did not wake up :-/ After forced reboot it would never boot stuck on the same place.
    Now what is happening any HDD will be recognized and booted aswell 10/10 attempts but SSD will not boot eventhough I reinstalled it all. The SSD WILL boot in other MBP and is visible on other systems.
    The SSD WILL BOOT via USB.
    I do not believe the disk is the problem.
    My MB was replaced just few months ago. My SATA cable was replaced some time before the MB.

  • Verify permissions failed: Framework unable to communicate with the Disk Management daemon

    I'm experiencing problems with the Disk Management daemon on my MBPro Retina running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I discovered it first when I tried to enable file vault and received the "Framework unable to communicate with the Disk Management daemon" error message.
    So I started up Disk Utilities (which started fine) and tried to run Verify Disk Permissions. It failed with the following errror message:
    "Verify permissions failed: Framework unable to communicate with the Disk Management daemon"
    So I booted in to safe mode and tried Verify Disk Permissions again with the same results.
    So I booted in to the recovery partition to run Disk Utilities. It ran fine and the Verify Disk Permissions found some errors which I then fixed.
    I re-booted normally but am still experiencing the same behavior.
    I have turned off my anti-virus (Sophos) to no effect.
    I checked the console and found the following message:
    12/6/12 3:27:02.828 PM Disk Utility[157]: *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSWindow is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.
    Thoughts or suggestions?  Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Re: Is Satellite L300D provided with recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I do not get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know If Satellite L300D is provided with recovery disk?
    As far as i know computers manufactured from mid 2007 are no longer provided with recovery disks for the operating system. How do I know what year my satellite is manufactured?
    Many thanks

    All new notebook models including your one are delivered without recovery DVD.
    Recovery image is saved on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
    Akuma is right. You must create recovery media using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". The shortcut you can find on the desktop. Please do this and for recovery media creation I recommend you to use high quality DVD-R media like TDK or Verbatim.
    You can install OS using F8 button at start up. The guideline how to do this you can find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Please note. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install other operating system on first partition. the second partition can be in original state but this F8 option will be gone.
    If you have more questions please let me know.
