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 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).

Completely unable to boot camp windows 7 on Mac Pro

I am at the end of my rope. I have a Mac Pro 1,1 - 2.66 quad core, 7 gigs of ram. I have been trying over and over and over to Boot Camp Windows 7 onto a secondary hard drive. But every single time time, it hangs indefinitely or straight up freezes during "completing installation". I have scoured the interent for answers. I have tried typing shift+f10 when it hangs and typing in explorer.exe. This doesn't work. I have tried having all USB devices unplugged. I have moved the drive from bay 2 to bay 1 and having the other 2 drives empty. I have tried multiple discs. And from what I have found, the Mac Pro is completely unable to boot from a USB drive with the Windows 7 installer on it. WHAT DO I DO? Please help!

your mac pro like mine has older EFI firmware that does not support booting Windows 7 64-bit.
You will have to remove all other drives.
Before you do, reformat the drive you want ot use as Windows Master Boot Record and FAT32, then format the drive with Windows during install.
Get rid of whatever is on the drive now.
You will be limited to 1.9GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium supports just one cpu, you have two.
64-bit Windows requires UEFI which you don't have and would need to edit and modify the DVD (reburn after using Imgburn).
Easy method: do basic install on a PC and then put the drive in the Mac Pro.

Unable to boot to Vista with Sound Blaster XFi Fata1ity Pro Series driv

I installed Vista Home Premium x86 as a second OS on a partition in conjunction with XP Pro. When I installed the Creative Vista drivers for my Fataity Pro Series I can't boot into Vista, it keeps restarting. I can, however, boot to XP and the card still works perfectly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matt

Can't boot into Windows after splitting Mac partition with Disk Utility

Hi everyone,
I installed Windows 8 with BOOTCAMP, creating a large 871 GB partition with a smaller 127 GB partition for Windows. After installing Windows, I then went back to Disk Utility to shrink the Mac partition and add two new partitions, one for storage and another blank, hoping to use it to install Linux into one day.
I did that, and now Windows doesn't boot. A Windows blue screen tells me I need to use the Windows DVD to repair it.
I tried to use Disk Utility to delete the two new partitions I made and grow the Mac partition back to the max size of 871 GB. But it doesn't let me do this. The Disk Utility log doesn't report an error and thinks it worked but the partition stays the same size. However if I make the partition a little smaller, like 870 GB then it works. I'm wondering if the Recovery partition is hiding there and preventing me from fully expanding the Mac partition.
What can I do?

Kappy,
I can boot into OS X just fine so if possible, I'd like to avoid reformatting everything. If you know of a way I can add more than 2 partitions with OS X and Boot Camp, please let me know. As far as I know, rEFInd can recognize more than two partitions, but I don't think it can edit partitions on a GPT / hybrid MBR system. Or am I wrong?

Unable to boot the sytem after applying kernel patch 118844-27

We have an hp ProLiant DL380 Storage server connected to HP StorageWorks Moduler Smart Array 30 via SCSI. Solaris 03/05 was installed previously on this system with kernel 118844-20. When I queried and installed all required patches with 'smpatch add -i .. ' command, all patches applied and the system is rebooted. After reboot, the system kept restarting. I followed the instructions on Sun Alert document 102087, and installed grub using 01/06 1st CDROM. It installed successfully, but problem persisted. The systems started booting, but before printing 'Configuring devices' the system rebooted again. Providing -v option to the kernel, it lastly printed a PCI device id (/pci@....) and after 2-3 seconds rebooted again.
Finally I had to reinstall the solaris (this time 01/06). The disk was accessible after booting with CD ROM, and I was able to get cylinder numbers of disk, and I installed the new system to the root partition of the other live upgrade environment. The boot disk was partitioned under linux, it was three partitions, Solaris2 (50GB),Solaris(4GB),Linux(18GB). Installation medium told that the fdisk partition was invalid, and i repartitioned the whole disk again.
System up and running Solaris 10 01/06 now, but the strange thing is that, previously hard disk (both boot disk and disks on array) locations were identified as '/dev/rdsk/c0tx' but now, the system sees that hard disks at '/dev/c1tx' and CDROM at '/dev/c0t0'.
Now I want to ask tow questions:
* Could this disk number change made the system unbootable previously?
* May I safely apply patch 118844-28 to the system
-Thanks

Here's a similar topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=536210 also if that doesn't work you should install vesa as it also says it's not found in your log.

"Missing Operating System" when I boot to Vista after OSX 1.3 firmware upda

I did the firmware upgrade 2 days ago and just tried to log on to my Vista boot camp partition today and I get a black screen that tells me I am missing my operating system. From the mac side I can see the windows partition and things look normal to me (the usual windows folders are there), but I don't know if I should be looking for a specific file that has now gone missing.
Any ideas?

You can always use a open source EFI boot loader. It's called rEFIt.
http://refit.sourceforge.net/
Just download the Mac Disk image and install it in OS X.
Then restart your computer, booting to the OS X partition, and rEFIt boot options will pop up. Then you can just select windows and boot to it. This way you also don't have to worry about what you start up disk is set to. All you have to do is keep it on the OS X partition.
It works really great. I use on rEFIt my MBP that I have triple booted.

Cannot Access BIOS or Boot Windows 8 After Changing UEFI BIOS to Legacy BIOS

Acer V7-751, 500G HD, Windows 8.
I changed the BIOS settings from UEFI to Legacy BIOS when I was working on a problem. Now I can't even get into the BIOS (F2)
or change the Boot Order (F12). All I get is an error "Operating System not found". I can boot with a Win7, Win8, or Win8,1 DVD. I suppose I could boot with just about anything else bootable as well.
The problem seems to be caused because it's set to Legacy BIOS and Secure Boot Manager as default #1 boot device. Legacy BIOS
can't boot a Win8 drive that has been installed under UEFI (Secure Boot). I have to change the BIOS back to EUFI to boot the WIn8 drive, but the only way to change the BIOS is from within Win8. It's a very flawed way of doing things but it's the way it is.
Does anyone have any suggestions that they KNOW work. Please don't Google answers. I've already done that. And please (please)
don't tell me to power on and press "F2" (or any other key) to go into BIOS. If I could do that I wouldn't be posting.
Once again, I cannot get into the BIOS without going into Windows first. I cannot load Windows because the install was done
under UEFI. I cannot change from Legacy to UEFI because I can't get into the BIOS.

In this case, I flashed the BIOS with a newer version of the BIOS/Firmware and that returned everything to the Defaults (not Legacy BIOS). I believe you could also flash with the same version. I don't think you could flash with an earlier version, but no harm
in trying it. if you've flashed the BIOS previously, you may be able to restore the previous copy. It all depends on the manufacturer and how they handle flashing the BIOS.
I wasn't able to, but you may also be able to boot from a correctly formatted USB drive with another OS (Windows XP/Vista/7) because Legacy BIOS allows you to boot from external devices. Essentially, you need to be able to boot from a valid OS that is not on
the Hard Drive that was configured using the UEFI BIOS setting.
Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll do what I can to help. If this solves your problem, please mark my post as the answer. Thank you.

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?

MacBook boots up twice after installing Mac os x 10.5.3-is this a problem ?

After installing os x 10.5.3, my MacBook booted up twice, as well, thinking that something might be wrong with the hard disk, it showed that I had only 87 gb of ram, down from 90 gb two day's ago. Can anyone help?

F.N.H.,
The additional restart is normal. This is a necessary part of the updates installer script. Most updates do not require the double-restart, but a few of the major one's do.
You do not have either 87 GBs or 90 GBs of "RAM." You may have that much hard disk space, but RAM is directly accessed memory that is used to temporarily store instructions for running applications and "live" data for same. You probably have 2 GBs of this. At any rate, it is probably normal to have lost 2 or 3 GBs of hard disk space over the last day or so, especially having run the update.

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...)

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.

It did this for 9 more failures and hung.
Any ideas?
Thanks

re "Apple should have the control panel report the proper IP address"
On clicking Personal web sharing, you get information to the effect:
View this computer’s website at http://10.1.1.4/ or your personal website at http://10.1.1.4/~user/
This is wrong to a user. Others could not enter this URL and get access to the website using this information. This is what I meant by "wrong"--its NOT the IP address that the user should use to view/use the web site. The software already knows its using DHCP, etc., so it should know to present the modem's IP and from memory in the past it did. As a wrote earlier, I used to be able to just copy the IP address given.
What Apple probably need are two statements:
To view this computer’s website from the local network use ...
To view this computer’s website from the internet use ...
Even, then I'd question the use of 10.1.1.4.
