As long as the Firewire hard drive is a bootable drive for Mac OS X it should work with the Migration Assistant. These two companies offer that kind of drive:

  • Pacman -Syu update, System not booting due to systemd

    I have just done a full update on pacman, and now my system is not booting due to this message
    systemd[1]: /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-gpt-auto-generator exited with status 127
    Does anyone know what is causing this, and what a status code of 127 means?

    fstab originally existed on my OS before the pacman upgrade. After the upgrade I got the error message mentioned above (and obviously the fstab was there since I  didn't touch it). Then after reading that linked topic (where a similar error message was the cause of systems not booting due to a fstab), I deleted the fstab (or more accurately, moved it somewhere else)

  • System Not Booting Up

    I have an iMac Flat screen running Mac OS X 10.3.9(Panther). At times, when I turn my iMac on, I do not receive the start up screen with the Apple logo and progress indicator. I receive just a blank white screen with no indication that the computer is loading. I do not hear the hard Drive clicking. The boot up sequence never proceeds to the second second screen with the progress bar or the desktop with the Dock. The computer does not respond to pushing the on/off button to turn the computer off. I have to power cycle my power strip to turn the power off. I have verified the Panther10.3.9 icon is in the far left of the System. Preferences-Start-up Disk.
    Recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

    Hi Ali, Cornelius, and littleshoulders,
    I checked my CD;s that came with the system when I purchased it and found no system disks. When I came home from my vacation this past weekend and turned on the computer, I received question mark during the start up. I had my cousin, who wrote earlier, come over to look at the computer. He brought a DiskWarrior 3.02 and an Apple Protection Plan CD that contained Tech Tool Deluxe. When inserting the Disk Warrior and pressing the C Key, the system wouldnot boot up. We would get the Apple logo and the progress circle but then the screen would turn blank and a loud fan type noise would come on the iMac. We powered it down. we next placed the Tech Tool CD and pressed the key start up and the Tech Tool diagnostic window came up. We ran the diagnostic and everthing passed.
    Still thinking that something may be wrong with the computer, we again tried Disk Warrior. We ran the disk Warrior from the desktop. We were unable to rebuild the system directory. The rebuild button was not active. Testing the hardware showed the drive normal and functioning properly.
    My cousin had a copy of the Tiger install disk and when it ran showed no disk utility. His Panther install CD would not mount when pressing the C key at startup, so that was no help.
    I am desperate now, not knowing what to do. Since there is no apparent things wrong with the hard drive should I just invest in a copy of Leopard or what?

  • 1.8Ghz iMac G5 - Will not boot from HD or other startup volume

    Okay, thought I would post here regardless that this seems to be a "take it in for service" issue...
    The iMac was running painfully slow last night, so I walked away and did not manually sleep it. This morning, it seemed to be asleep except that the light was not pulsing, but was full-on bright. Attempts to wake it were fruitless, so I attempted to force it down via the power switch and restart. Upon rebooting (which took a few minutes longer than usual), it got to the apple and pinwheel/gear screen, then went black except for the arrow cursor in the upper left corner, which changed after a time to the "beachball" (not spinning).
    I then tried resetting the PRAM and SMU, no change.
    I tried rebooting in safe mode and got to the login screen, but the keyboard and mouse are not being recognized.
    I then tried rebooting in single-user mode to run fsck, but once at the prompt, the keyboard is again not being recognized.
    Attempts to startup from a system disk yielded the same thing—black screen, arrow cursor at upper left, etc.
    All devices except the keyboard and mouse have been unplugged throughout all attempts to restart.
    Since I am in the market (possibly now by necessity) for a new iMac, my attention turned to getting my files off the drive... Luckily, it was recognized by my old Powerbook in target mode (yay).
    Any ideas, suggestions?

    Update: Just ran the Hardware Test again, this time the Extended Test, and it reported "2GMC/3/16: built-in." Logic board failure, anyone?
    It seems like I've had more than my fair share of logic board issues with this machine... It was replaced while under the original warranty and again last December on Apple's dime when I raised a bit of **** about it, and now it seems to have failed again. The last replacement only had a 90-day warranty, so I guess I'm hosed this time.

  • C700 Laptop: Not booting: Black screen: No BIOS

    My 4 years old Compaq Presario c700 (C794) laptop is not booting up. Does not go into BIOS, and does not even show the message “Press F10 to enter BIOS” etc.
    I see a clear black screen (but has backlit and I am able to adjust the brightness using Fn keys). Tried on the desktop monitor, it is black too.
    The HD is running intermittently, all LEDs are on, and the fan is running.  
    Windows is not booting up, there is no log on sound. WIFI light is also orange, it becomes green after booting is complete. HD activity is on but it is not as much to boot up Windows 7.
    Troubleshooting I did till now:  
    Hard reset by holding down the power button several times.
    Cleaned RAM and placed it in another slot.
    Removed the power and battery and kept it overnight.
    Tried on the desktop monitor, it is black too.
    This happened all of a sudden. I did not do any BIOS updates or anything that normally causes these kind of problem. I learned from some forums that an exhausted CMOS battery can cause it. Is it true? In this case, can you please give the location of the CMOS battery in these laptops?
    What are the other measures I can take?

    Hello again Hazarika.

    Did you do vgscan first? What error did you get or did the command just return empty?
    Is the lvm2 hook in mkinitcpio.conf? Have you tried regenerating your initramfs?

  • XP system not booting since installing ITunes

    I successfully installed a 2.0 USB card onto my XP box, however the installation of the iPOD drivers and Ituns gernated errors, and sicne then, my PC will not boot in normal mode, even with last known configuration (The iPOD itself, though connected during the entire boot, gives a normal usage display rahter then "do not disconnect" throughout the driver laoding phase, which never finises. It is however, possible to boot the device, and access the USB and iPOD in SafeMode. What should I do?

    No dice. The computer is about 3 years old, with USB 1.1 and sound native to the board (Intel board). I installed a 2.0 usb PCI card without incident, but after installing the Ipod software, a conflict seems to have arisen. Boots fine in Safe Mode with Networking. Leading me to think there is some sound driver conflict.

  • System not booting keep rolling for hours

    Hello,
    What happens or shows if you hold the Option or alt key at bootup?
    "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.
    Keep us pposted as to any progress or failures.

  • Z68 WIN 7 will not boot after setting drive BIOS from IDE to SATA

    MSI Z68MA-ED55 (B3) Motherboard
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS
    SATA III Solid State Drive with greater than 500 MB/s throughput
    After installing WIN7 and all my Applications programs I noticed in the BIOS that the driver for the SSD did not properly set to fully support the SSD but remained in the IDE mode.
    This computer was built for technical graphics work and not for child's play.  So I don't want to have to reinstall all the applications software for work with all its required protection features from theft.
    QUESTIONS:
    1. With this high transfer rate SSD, is it worth the performance improvement to reset the BIOS from the IDE driver to the proper driver?
    2. If so, how can I set the BIOS to the correct driver without reinstalling everything?
    3. At some level of the installation the system should have sensed the SSD SATA III and changed the driver from IDE. Where should this take place?

    Hi,
    I had the same problem. You need to put it back to IDE, boot to Windows then follow the below instructions and it works fine. (Courtesy of Guru3D)
    Enable AHCI
    The last tip we want to give you to gain a little extra performance boost is that you enable AHCI mode. AHCI mode can help out greatly in performance for SSDs. Now, if you swap out an HDD for an SSD with the operating system cloned and THEN enable AHCI in the BIOS, then you'll likely get a boot error / BSOD.
    The common question is, is there a solution for this ?
    To answer that question (and as we do safely with all modern chipsets) there is a way to safely enable AHCI mode. Here we go:
    1. Startup "Regedit"
    2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services
    3. Open msahci
    4. In the right field left click on "start" and go to Modify
    5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click "ok"
    6. exit "Regedit"
    7. Reboot Rig and enter BIOS (typically hold "Delete" key while Booting)
    In your BIOS select "Integrated Peripherals" and OnChip PATA/SATA Devices. Now change SATA Mode from IDE to AHCI.
    You now boot into windows 7 or Vista, and the OS will recognize AHCI and install the devices. Now the system needs one more reboot and voilla ... enjoy the improved SSD performance.

  • [SOLVED] Install archlinux from a archlinux system -system not booting

    Hey there,
    I am trying to install a fresh archlinux system from within an existing archlinux installation. -- I really hope to get help here, I am clueless.
    Theoretically this could be posted in the newby section but I think my problem is more special and it's not my first archlinux installation at all.
    The facts:
    I am renting an ovh server (kimsufi.com) and I want to install archlinux without their special ovh features.
    The rescue system (debian) don't let me install archlinux (pacstrap error -> "mount: mount point /mnt/dev/pts does not exist"). Same as here -> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1231074
    Because of that I install archlinux over the webinterface and then I want to install archlinux on another partition.
    The problem:
    The archlinux system from ovh is working, it is booting fine. My freshly installed system looks to don't boot at all.
    There are no logs in /var/log (no dmesg etc.) so I think that it doesn't past grub.
    I am clueless what I can do to get it to boot.
    What I have tried...
    "Pretty everything" I would say but this doesn't help anyone.
    pacman -Syu linux mkinitcpio grub <- to be sure everything is installed.
    -- Openssh is installed and configured, network is configured, fstab is correct, openssh and netctl is on autostart with systemctl.
    mkinitcpio -p linux <- everything ok
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- that's also fine
    grub-install --recheck /dev/sda <- no problems so far
    That's all, I hope I haven't forgotten anything.
    Partitions:
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 4096 526335 261120 83 Linux <--- /boot of the ovh system
    /dev/sda2 526336 19398655 9436160 83 Linux <--- / of the ovh system
    /dev/sda3 * 19398656 20445183 523264 83 Linux <--- /boot of the fresh system
    /dev/sda4 20445184 26736639 3145728 5 Extended
    /dev/sda5 20447232 26736639 3144704 83 Linux <--- / of the fresh system
    The bootflag is ignored because grub is installed into MBR.
    Please post any ideas, I don't know what I may have forgotten.

    Since it's a server by ovh/kimsufi, I am not able to see what's going on with grub. (I have no idea how to diagnose that problem.)
    The grub.cfg seems to be correct.
    I tried it again without an extended partition, every partition are primary ones. Still no logs.
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 2048 526335 262144 83 Linux <--- /boot of both systems (only grub.cfg changes)
    /dev/sda2 526336 19398655 9436160 83 Linux <--- / of the ovh system
    /dev/sda3 19398656 25690111 3145728 83 Linux <--- / of the fresh system
    At the moment the grub.cfg points to the OVH archlinux, not the freshly installed one.
    I have modified that file by hand to OVH archlinux (sda2; UUID changed of course). OVH archlinux boots.
    I can run grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg with the fresh system in arch-chroot again but it won't help.
    But I can still do this and post it here.
    My grub.cfg:

  • Laptop not booting after I Upgraded BIOS

    Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849
    Originally had issues with the left speaker making a horrible buzzing noise. Searching forums & help boards & the fact that I'm fairly computer Literate I came to the conclusion a OS reinstall was called for.
    Since I only use this laptop for DJing theres only a couple of programs on it so it was not too much hastle.
    Reinstalled OS Windows 7 updated it & all the drivers & the Buzz was still there.
    This is when I read from a couple of users of Toshiba laptops said an upgrade of the BIOS helped them.
    So I went to the official Toshiba support page & flashed my laptop using the following BIOS upgrade
    ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.00 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU) 32/64-bit
    Nearing the end of the flash my pc screen went black power lights are on, cord light on, battery light on just no OS
    What I've tried.
    Unplugged from power supply.
    Removed Battery
    Left for 20 mins & then tried to reboot.
    Same thing happens each time
    Power lights come on HD spins for a minute but nothing happens after that.
    Any ideas why an official software update would cause my computer to not work & how do I roll back or clear my bios to default specs.

    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    to download my own version of crisis disk with the new v2.0 rom bios. ready to build the floppy by running the crisdisk.bat:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/410963513/CrisDisk.zip?.html
    I posted this instruction to repair my A215 with these files:
    Since finding a solution was a very confusing experience, here is how I fixed it (it should work for most similar models.)
    Now read it all the way through because the steps are critical.
    I got a Toshiba Satellite A215 PSAFGU (S6814) And after shutting down from overheating during a flash from windows it didn't boot. Black screen and nothing more. Meanning my bios was corrupt
    So after lots of trial and error, using an external usb floppy drive I managed to save my laptop.
    Maybe people here describe how to do it, but they tell you to download the wrong crisis recovery files and once you try to use your ROM instead of the one on the disk, or try to replace phlash16.exe it just fails. Tried injecting but that didn't work.
    Finally I found a good Phoenix crisis copy at : http://mods.myftp.org/Tools/CrisDisk_and_Pen_Drive?_Recovery.rar
    unrar and go to the directory, then unrar (you'll see it) CRISDISK.rar .
    This copy of crisis with phflash16.exe (in the extracted directory) is a good version that can handle the newest versions of bios ROM.
    Now copy your ROM file to the crisisdisk directory renaming the file to bios.wph and thus replacing the existing one.(i used the new 2.0 version ROM from the Toshiba site - in this case its called m10a200.rom)
    To prevent 'dos path' errors when building the disk, copy the entire directory to a simple one like c:\cirsis
    Build your disk now by running CRISDISK.BAT - the process includes quick formatting, copying the three files, and lastly making it bootable, make sure you go through all the steps. ( at first, i messed the last part by not having it bootable and it failed ofcourse)
    once it says it created the disk successfully, put it in your external usb drive (or use the disk you created to make a bootable flash drive by using hp drivekey boot utility available here: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S?oftwareDescription.jsp?swItem=MTX-UNITY-I23839 I didn't have a chance to test it with usb flash drives, but it should work.)
    Now once you connected your media to the usb port on your laptop:
    make sure the battery is out, power cord out, hold fn+f, while doing that, plug the cord and then push the power button, release the fn+f key once you see the light on your usb drive/usb floppy is starting to blink. it should pause for a few seconds, and then start reading the disk for a while (not just 3 seconds). Process should not take more then 10 minutes so waiting more then that is a waste(trust me). The computer should reboot byitself if everything is fine. Mine took about 5 minutes but give it 10 just to make sure.
    After hours of finding, replacing, injecting, only this worked.
    This works for sure, if you follow these instructions with your Toshiba Satellite A215. Don't loose hope - you will recover it.
    A good sign is when using the fn+f method and it flashed the usb drive/floppy. It means its 99% recoverable.
    Really hope this saves time for others.
    This is a solution posted by yarivc on the USA Toshiba site.

    BTW
    to the last poster
    If you were to ask 100 customers in any comp store who just purchased a Toshiba Laptop if they knew a OFFICIAL UPDATE from the manufacturers support website would VOID a warrenty I gaurantee not one of them would know that nor be impressed by it.
    Further more what screwed up my bios was not the BIOS upgrade but the fact that Toshiba has a install from your desktop (windows) button in the update, researching this I found that one should never use this method because Windows in inherently unstable when it comes to BIOS update.
    This option should NOT have been included in the update since its very unstable to do so.
    On a side note.
    My left speaker buzzing noise is back. But it doesnt seem too annoying right now concidering I saved myself money & headache.

    i already tried to help by merging another new topic you started into the first one with unanswered questions and suggestions, so you went ahead and started another topic
    please stick with your original topic, answer questions, and best of all do as Richard says and make a sig with your hardware info, so everyone knows what you have and doesn't have to keep asking
