Unable to load GRUB after install

I recently purchased an Acer Extensa 4620 and wanted to load Archlinux on it. For those of you unfamiliar with this particular brand, Acer has a bad habit of partitioning the hard drive into strange partitions. In the case of my 120gb hard drive I had two partitions of about 56gb each and a 5gb ghost partition. I cleaned up the larger two partitions and made them into a single 115gb partition. From here I partitioned this into my /, /home/, and swap for my install. After completing the install, and loading GRUB into /, I am given the error of no OS, which is the case since I no longer have XP installed. Im curious if whether or not I installed GRUB correctly. Should I have installed it in /, or made the /boot partition? Or does none of this matter because the 5gb ghost parition, which is for recovery tools, could be somehow interfering?
I thought i'd ask before I went ahead and deleted the partition. My next step before doing so is recreating the partitions and including a /boot and installed GRUB here.
I'd appreciate any help in this quandry.
By the way pardon the bad grammar. Sleeplessness is getting to me.

I think you may have grub in the wrong place, though I'm not sure exactly what you've done.
Grub consists of two parts, the loader itself, and the files. The files just have to be somewhere the loader can read them, so /boot/ (does not have to be a separate partition) is the usual place.
The loader can be in one of two places, the root partition (which I think you may have done) or the MBR. If it is in the MBR it will be used to boot the computer, if it is in the root partition, it expects a different bootloader (in the MBR) to boot the computer, then pass over to it.
Thus, you should be installing to the MBR, not the root partition.
Either way, it looks like grub is not installed in the MBR, so try:
install-grub /dev/sda
Replace sda with the appropriate device if your hard drive is not sda. Note sda not sda1.
You'll have to do so with a live CD of course, if you cannot boot.
You can get a bit more info on grub in the wiki

[SOLVED] Unable to load GRUB on MacBook PRO with GPT partition

Hi,
I have made an install of Arch on my MacBook Pro. I have made the installation of Arch to work before but I decided to make a clean install since I changed WM. I have written down my instructions thoroughly and followed them like a slave. It worked before but now it just decided not to work. When I was starting my Mac before I ended up at the GRUB menu being able to chose to load Arch. If I pressed the alt button I was able to load OS X. But after the reinstall the computer did not load GRUB.
I have reinstalled OS X again just to make sure everything is clean, especially the boot partition.
During the installation I mounted the partitions like so (sda4 = boot, sda5 = root, sda6=swap, sda7=home)
# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/boot
# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/boot
# mkdir /mnt/home
# mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/home
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/efi
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
After installing base and base-devel and modifying the system I did the following:
# pacman -S grub-efi-x86_64
# modprobe dm-mod
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck --debug
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
NB! I executed these commands with /dev/sda1 still mounted on /boot/efi in the chrooted environment. This put the arch_grub bootloader-id under /boot/efi/EFI on /dev/sda1. I made sure to remove the old /boot/efi/EFI/arch_grub before I executed this command. This way is a little bit different from the Wiki but as I said before, /dev/sda1 was already mounted on /mnt/boot/efi when I followed these instructions.
Without installing the os-prober (I don't want to have OS X in grub) I then executed
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exited, unmounted and rebooted. After the reinstall, suddenly the computer does not load grub? Instead I just end up booting into OS X.
Does anyone have any clue on what to do here? I have tried to reinstall a couple of times without success.

Hi,
I have found a solution to the problem. When you are booting from the cd if you look carefully you will see that the system is missing firmware for module aic94xx and bfa. This error message also pops up when you are creating the initial ram disk environment with:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
To make it work I did as followed:
1. I have rEFInd installed
2. I booted from the disk and mounted /dev/sda1 somewhere and made sure to remove the old ../EFI/arch_grub that was lying there
3. I continued with a normal install making sure NOT to mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/boot/efi before generating the fstab
4. I chrooted into /mnt and followed the instructions up to setting up the network (in my case # systemctl enable [email protected])
5. Before I created the initial ram disk environment I installed aic94xx and bfa from the AUR as root (maybe not 100% correct)
5.a https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aic94xx-firmware/
5.b https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bfa-firmware/
6. I then ran the code # mkinitcpio -p linux, this time without the error messages I had gotten before
7. I set the root password and continued with these instructions:
7.a https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … Bootloader
8. When I installed grub the system said that it could not find a boot manager but I continued with the instructions
When I rebooted the computer everything went fine, I booted into rEFInd followed by grub. Can anyone with the same problem please follow these instructions and report back. It is good to see anyone else succeed before I report this thread as SOLVED. If you have any questions I will try to help.

Adobe DPS: unable to load media after video montage.

Hi there,
I am currently using Adobe Indesign CS6 with the latest update of the Folio panel and work on a digital magazine in which I imported some videos in different extensions (*.mov and *.mp4).
Everything worked fine on iPad, but everytime I make a video montage using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, a message error "Unable to load media. Please check your internet connection or try again later" appeared on my iPad screen.
I exported my media from Adobe Premiere in *.mp4 using H.264 codecs for Apple TV/iPad/iPhone, dimension 1280 x 720 and also tried with 1024 x 768, but that didn't work.
Then, I imported my original videos without any montage making on DPS, they work fine. One of the original video has an extension *.mov and the other one *.mp4.
I followed the steps that I read on DPS forums by some users facing the same issue, but that didn't make good results.
So, is there anything I have missed in Adobe premiere Pro CS6 as after making video montage, my iPad always displays the message error? and why each time I use the same two videos without passing through Adobe Premiere, I can play the video without trouble?

I tried both softwares Handbreake and Adobe Media Encoder CS6 to render my final editing but it always failed.
However, I restarted my whole video project using a free easy-to-use video editing software I downloaded from the internet, now it works fine on ipad with *.mov extension.
By the way, Adobe Indesign does not support *.m4v.
Anyway, I will go on trying to figure out what's the flaw in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Thanks anyway _Felipe!

I was trying to update to IOS 5 but the operation didn't start after doign the sync oiperation
On your iPhone tap Settings > General > About
If it's not 5.0 then the update did not finish.
You can re sync your apps using iTunes.
Never disconnect an iOS device such as your iPhone when syncing with iTunes on your compter until the process is completed.

Failing to load processes after installing patch 10.1.2.3

I have installed patch 10.1.2.3 after Oracle advised that it may resolve some database adapter problems I was getting in 10.1.2.0.2. However after installing the patch, many of the BPEL processes are now failing to load when I bounce the OC4J component and I am getting ORABPEL-05215 errors.
I turned on debug logging and an extract of the log file is as follows, has anybody got any ideas on how I might resolve these errors;

Windows would not load anymore after installing bootcamp drivers

Hello,
I had been running Mountain Lion and Windows 8 flawlessly for many months until I ran out of Hard drive space on the Windows side so I decided to wipe both hard drives (put one in place of disk drive) and start with clean installs of both (poor life decision). I had a heck of a time installing windows 8 this time since I longer had a internal SuperDrive. But I fonally got it to install after many hours trying to do it via a usb drive. It installed properly from an external drive and rEFIt. Immediately after installing Windows 8 I installed the latest bootcamp drivers and played inwindows 8 for an hour or so but installed nothing else. after powering down Windows 8 will no longer load I am assuming due do an issue with bootcamp drivers although it may be a fluke since it was working before. I am guessing I just need to try again but after all the headaches I figured I would post here and see if anyone had any thoughts or solutions.
Thank You,
David M.

XP is an old and non-supported by Microsoft operating system. So there is no support, security updates, etc. Why are you installing XP?
Whenever you install any version of Windows you need to install anti virus. Microsoft Security Essentials is all you need and it is free.

Can't load photoshop after installing yosemite

Having trouble loading PS5.5 after installing Yosemite - getting error message 'An unexpeced and unrecoverable problem has occurred, photoshop will now exit'.

Java for OS X 2014-001

My mini (late 2012) 2.3 GHz i7 with 16 GB, not loading images after installing Java that I need to run FileMaker Server 12.

I'm running yosemite on a mini (late 2012) 2.3 GHz i7 with 16 GB, my problem is that after installing Java that I need in order to run FileMaker Server 12, apps like Safari, Mail or even App Store, stop working properly, the mayor problem is that NO images load and Safari start saying that the pages are not loading because the connection with the server stop working. The only way to fix it is to re-start the computer.
Any idea to resolve the problem.

Long, long loading time after installing bootcamp to OSX

I installed bootcamp on my Mac OSX (MBP) in order to have access to Windows 7 programs. After a week, OSX was really really slow loading. After searching online, I decided to turn Spotlight off from searching partitioned drives. This worked great until today - it's happening again. I can't even open applications on OSX its so slow and the multi coloured pinwheel is constantly spinning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to go out and buy a second laptop because of this...

How much is free, relatively (it may be 250 free bot free out of what?).
OSX needs 15% free to use during routine operations. Doing BootCamp must account for this 15%.
Just asking again annd stating why to be sure.

Unable to load DLL after Impersonating (0x80070542)

I have an application that prompts a user for credentials and impersonates the user before taking some action on that user's behalf. However, when I try to call some framework methods that require .NET to load a native DLL, the call fails with the
following error:
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'secur32.dll': Either a required impersonation level was not provided, or the provided impersonation level is invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070542)
I've simplified the duplication scenario down to the following:
this.userToken = IntPtr.Zero;
bool authenticated =
Win32.LogonUser(
username,
domain,
password,
LogonTypes.Network,
LogonProviders.Default,
out userToken);
if (authenticated)
this.impersonationContext =
WindowsIdentity.Impersonate(this.userToken);
// This call blows up:
string userDomain = Environment.UserDomainName;
If I make a call to Environment.UserDomainName before impersonating, no exception is thrown (presumably the DLL is loaded before impersonation, so no attempt is made afterwards).

I'm writing to check the issue status, please feel free to let us know if you have any concern.

IBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7, iBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7

After installing iOS 7, iBooks doesn't work well.
I have to log into my iTunes account before I can read the book that I've already downloaded and started reading.
I also have problems logging in to iTunes and often have to do a complete shutdown and restart before I can log in.
It's very frustrating and if I don't have connectivity, I can't read any books!
How do I get this fixed?

Hi Dee12124,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
To do this:
1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
