Unable to boot Portege S100 after encrypting the HDD with SafeBoot

I am in the process of installing SafeBoot (McAfee Endpoint) full disk encryption on 100+ laptops, most of which are Toshiba. I'm using Device Encryption 5.1.5.0, Release 5300 (515-0015) and I've been able to successfully install it on a number of different Toshiba models, however, the Portege S100 is causing me a major problem. The SafeBoot Client software installs okay on Windows XP SP2 (and SP3) and encrypts the disk as normal but as soon as I restart it fails to boot ever again.
Now, when I first switch on I get:
Starting SafeBoot v5.1
Please wait...
for about a second and then a dialogue box appears in the middle of the screen:
SafeBoot Error
Error: 0xe002001b
No boot disk was found
It never gets to the SafeBoot Logon screen so is still in the pre-boot stage.
I believe this is because this laptop has a build-in SATA RAID controller. We're not using the RAID setup and only have the one original disk installed. The BIOS is the latest version 1.50 and the third system setup screen shows the RAID array state to be 1RAID-0. If I set it to JBOD then I can't even get as far as installing Windows.
So far I have tried replacing the Toshiba RAID driver with the Intel 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA AHCI 7.0.0.1020 driver. This works fine during Windows installation at the F6 stage and in Windows before encryption. I have even successfully used this driver with a WinTech CD (modified BartPE CD with SafeBoot plug-in) and am able to see the encrypted disk. However, even with this driver I get the same message once encrypted.
I am sure my SafeBoot administration and deployment is set up correctly because the same installation set works fine on a number of different laptop models, just not this one.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks Jeffrey for your reply.
You are right in that the Toshiba RAID 1.3.8.0 driver is the one to use and it was the one I was using originally as it's in the corporate build that we use. I was getting the boot error with SafeBoot when using this driver which let me to try alternatives. The Toshiba RAID driver doesn't work with SafeBoot or the WinTech CD so at no point was I able to see the disk once encrypted. The Intel driver allows me to see the disk with the WinTech CD but I'm still getting the boot error if I try to boot from the hard disk. I'm guessing that I'm heading down the right track but I'm by no means certain!
As for the manual, I have already read it as it seems to contain the only information I can find. Having spoken to McAfee they suggested using a legacy/PATA compatibility mode setting in the BIOS but this RAID setting seems to be the only thing there is, which is why I felt I had to at least try the JBOD setting.
Some of the other Toshiba models I've tried (such as the Satellite Pro U300) use Intel SATA drivers at the F6 stage and SafeBoot runs fine on those so I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this one. I'm guessing it might be something to do with the MBR which I believe SafeBoot modifies.

Hi, please, anybody knows how many coolers has an iMac 27 Intel core i5? The widget iStatpro shows 3. I changed my HD (the previous one of 1TB crashed) and after that the HDD cooler is constantly working at 4.600 rpm. Anybody is facing this problem?

Did you replace the HD yourself? If so what HD did you use?
You should be aware that the symptom you describe is likely to be because you've used an incompatible HD. The current Macs have the temperature sensor actually in the HD package, with a modified cable to connect to the logic board.
If the sensor is not in circuit, the fans will run full tilt all the time.
Also, if it was under warranty, I think you'll find you've just voided it.

Qosmio X500-10W - Can I replace the HDD with another one?

Hello
I have a Qosmio X500-10W with two HDD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500GB 5400RPM 8MB ??SATA II but is one of hs so I wonder if I can be replaced by a more powerful style HDD 750GB 7200tr / min 16MB Toshiba course?
merci

Hey,
Your question is a little bit hard to understand but I think you want to replace the HDD with another (faster) model, right?
Well, thats no problem. HDDs with 7200rpm will work, they are a little bit louder but they are faster so if you need more performance no problem.
Also 750GB or more is no problem because SATA interface is not capacity limited. Theoretically 1TB or more should also work.
Anyway, you can buy the 750GB you mentioned it will work. :)

Unable to boot to Vista after changing Mac OS partition size

Greetings,
After creating an additional Mac OS partition, I can't boot into Vista anymore. Any way to fix it without re-installing?
I have an intel iMac running Leopard, and Vista on a bootcamp NTFS partition. That was working fine.
I created a new partition on the drive (using space from my Leopard partition) and installed Tiger on it for a short project. I’ve been dual booting between Leopard and Tiger just fine.
However, now I’m unable to boot using the Vista partition. I boot to a black screen with white text that states "No bootable device, hit any key" error. Of course hitting a key does nothing.
I can boot into Leopard/Tiger just fine, and can see the Vista partition from Leopard and view the files as usual. However I just can't boot into Vista. I tried running the repair tool from the Vista install disk, but that doesn't work on the NTFS partition (I think it doesn't see a windows partition to fix). Disk utility from Leopard shows the vista partition as the right size and formatted as NTFS.
I'm really stumped by the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

TestDisk - CGSecurity.
TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.
TestDisk can
* Fix partition table, recover deleted partition
* Recover FAT32 boot sector from its backup
* Rebuild FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 boot sector
* Fix FAT tables
* Rebuild NTFS boot sector
* Recover NTFS boot sector from its backup
* Fix MFT using MFT mirror
* Locate ext2/ext3 Backup SuperBlock
# Mac partition map
# NTFS ( Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008 )
TestDisk has features for both novices and experts. For those who know little or nothing about data recovery techniques, TestDisk can be used to collect detailed information about a non-booting drive which can then be sent to a tech for further analysis. Those more familiar with such procedures should find TestDisk a handy tool in performing onsite recovery.

Seeing you could lose everything, I would definitely use WinClone while in OS X to backup Vista, and CCC or SuperDuper to backup your OS X volumes (or Apple DU Restore, just be sure to turn off "Ignore Ownership" and repair permissions afterward, and then rerun 10.5.2 if possible).

Unable to boot Win 7 after cleaning factory installed Win 8.1_shuts down at preparing desktop

I had factory installed Win 8.1 on my HP P 206TX laptop but I wanted to install some software which does not support any OS above Win 7, so I wanted to remove this.
I did the following process:-
1. Created Win 8.1 recovery media(DVD) for future usage.
2. BIOS setting:-
a. Secure boot - Disabled
b. Legacy boot - Enabled
3. Cleaned hard disk through DISKPART
4. Converted GPT to MBR
5. Installed Win 7 Ultimate 64bit (DVD).......almost done till preparing desktop....
Then just during preparing desktop, system logged off, shut down and restarted....
But the restart does not boot windows at all.
It only shows "press ESC for startup menu" and then restarts again with the same process repeating again & again.
I have tried Repair through Win 7 DVD but it shows "this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows".
Please help as I am unable to find any solution anywhere on the internet.
I hope HP can help me...PLEASE

Hi
According to your machines support pages on HP website, Windows 7 drivers are not available for your machine this is more than likely the issue you are having . If you want to run software through Windows 8.1 that is not compatible for Windows 8.1 you can always run a Virtual box and install Windows 7 to Virtual box and run software via there..
Google search Virtual box --- download and install then install your ISO image of Windows 7 and go from there..

Unable to boot Windows 7 after first reboot (after installation and bootcamp driver)

Hi, I'm italian and I'm on a 2010-end Macbook Pro bought last month. I installed Windows 7 and then I installed the Bootcamp drivers.
I was able to operate the scroll of the mouse only magic-installing the 3.0 version ofBootcamp and then installing the missing drivers from the DVD Bootcamp 3.2. After that I rebooted the computer and tells me: "Could not start the computer" and start the recovery screen that remains indefinitely without ever doing anything, so I have to shut down by the power button.
How can I do to restore everything?

I have the exact same problem.
I've tried several times using both boot camp 3.2 whitch came with my computer, and using boot camp 4.0 that I got in the lion-update. Everything works fine until it restarts after installing the boot camp drivers, then it's the recovery screen that never finishes.
Anyone know what might be the problem?

COM object model not functioning after encrypting the word document using office extention

     After encrypting A word document using office extention, it seems like the COM object model becomes unusable. I cannot not manipulate the encrypt document through COM interface, nor can I write macro VBScript to do some operation on the docuent.
     For example, I create a word Macro with some simple code.
Sub hi()
    Dim i As Integer
    i = ThisDocument.Fields.Count
    MsgBox i
End Sub
     If the document is not encrypt, then we will see a msgbox which tells us the number of bookmarks in the current document.
     Now, encrypt the word document using the office extention, running the macro code will fail with error code " 80004005" and error message:Method 'Fields' of bject 'ThisDocument' failed.
It is very important for us to manipulate word documents through COM interface in our system, I want to know why the COM interface does not work anymore after the document is encrypted.

I take macro script as an example to demonstrate that word COM object model cannot be used after encripted. Actually you can reproduce the same problem when you manipulate word document through COM interface using any programming language.
For example, you can create a text document with the following VBscript:
set a = createobject("Word.Application")
set doc = a.Documents.Open("E:\temp\test.docx")
msgbox doc.Fields.count
doc.close
a.quit
Save the document with ".vbs" file extention and then run it by double clicking it. it will fail if the document is encrypted using the office extention.

Hello,
Using P35 MSI Platinum edition, Core Due 2 Extreme edition 2.9Mhz 1067FSB. After upgrading the BIOS to v1.8 the Acronis True Image v11 wont boot I get bank screen. I tried to boot Hirens BootCD v9.3 and I got continues beeps. I tried several way resolve the problem, first I disabled the bios boot sector protection, then I tried to enable AHCI mode but that did not get the Acronis nor Hirens BootCD to work.

If you are trying to boot from an IDE DVD drive, I guess you have the same problem as THN and me. I have the same "beeps", even with bios v1.1, 1.6 and 1.8. I was lucky to buy the board with a SATA DVD writer, so I can boot from this now. In the end, I think that the criticized JMicron controller that has my 975x PowerUp is better than this Marvell controller (what makes the matter worst, is that this is the ONLY ide controller on the P35...)

MacBook freeze after upgrading the hdd

Hello,
I have following problem with my MacBook. I have made a upgrade of my harddisk to a 500gb WD Blue Skorpio Harddisk. I made a backup of the old HDD and install the new HDD. After the changing, the computer boot normal. But then he freezes every time for a few seconds.
For Information: The HDD is partition into 2 GUID Tablet Parts. What is your recommandation. It is a problem of the HDD or it is a Problem of my MacBook.
I asked Western Digital for support, but I get no answer. I hope some knows the problem and can help me.

Hello Jay
Hello iyacyas
thank you for the fast response due my Problems. In the evening I will try Jays recommendation.
@iyacyas
The only reason to use two GUID Partitions is, to have a better overview about my files. In the main Partition I have all Mac OS files. The second Partition is for Medial file, like Music, Videos and Pictures. There is the folder of iTunes. I know, I didn´t need such differentiation. But to hold that were a good idea to get a better overview about my files. Sorry I worked too long with windows.

Pavillion zv5000 laptop wont boot from cd after mobo and hdd replace

So I inherited a dead zv5000 laptop with no hdd. I replaced the motherboard and CPU, and it powered up and booted from the cd drive with no hdd installed. I was able to run memtek and the original hp os recovery discs, with no hdd installed.
Then I put in an empty hdd. The bios sees the hdd ok, but I suddenly can't boot from the cd drive. The bios settings are correct, and the discs spin in the cd drive, but it wont boot with the recovery discs, memtek, or an original xp install disc.
When I remove the hdd, it still wont boot from the cd drive.
So I google and I read stuff about hp tattoos on hdds and motheboards and dmi, and no passwords for the average person to do the tattoo.
So what do I need to do ? I don't understand why it was good with the new motherboard, but as soon as I plugged in an hdd it wont do anyting. I cant update bios because I cant boot past the bios, and not sure how that would help anyway.

If you have an open firmware password, delete it. It will not boot off anything but HD with OF password. Or at least thats what it was for me.

Why App Tab disappears after cleaning the manhine with CCleaner?

I had App Tabs like yahoo, gmail, facebook etc. But, after cleaning my machine with CCleaner, I found, all of them has gone. So, is there any solution present for this? CCleaner is a good software. Many users uses this to clean their machine. So, what is the use to App Tab if we keep loosing it after doing a lot of work to set them in the browser? Although, I love firefox. Thank you.

Hi TonyE, Thanks for your solution. But the technique used in the previous version of firefox to remember tabs was great. It was independent from session. we used the drag and drop application to make tabs there. By d way, great work. I appreciate The Firefox Team.

Not sure, but MacKeeper is trash and could be the source of it, among any other problems you may be having. I suggest you uninstall it immediatley: http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
