System not booting keep rolling for hours

I need help, my iMac mal-functioning. @ boot it will not boot to desktop, some 1 should pls help

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.

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)

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?

System restore boot disk ISO for HP 255 G1 Laptop AMD

I have a saved image of my laptop - but the system restore / boot disk I created no longer works. Is there anywhere I can get an ISO for the system restore / boot disk for that machine?
I don't think that this should be an 'illegal copy' - because the actual operating system (Windows 7) I have stored as an image file. All I need is a CD / DVD that will boot on the HP 255 and allow me to re-image the machine from the image I created.

Hi,
You can download the relevant repair disc ISO you require from the links below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
If needed, you can use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: you may want to de-select the additional software options during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.
If you'd rather create a bootable Flash Drive for this Image, try the free application below.

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?

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:

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.
