Upgrading to SSD! But windows won't boot after copying drive.

I recently bought the great HP TM2t 2100 with all the bells and whistles along with an Intel x25m 120gb SSD (and Apricorn housing to use the old HDD as a backup drive.) 
I followed all of the steps on the ez gig III software and copied the hard drive to the ssd without any errors. When I physically install the ssd (very easy!) and turn on the computer it says that Windows cannot be recovered. And will not  boot windows. I did make Device Recovery discs but those are not able to be read either. Any suggestions on this? I have been trying to find an answer to no avail.
In the mean time I reinstalled the HDD and will try again after updrating all the drivers.

Well, I couldn't get the copied SSD to work, but as of right now I'm using the repair disks to restore windows to factory settings, the comp is only a weekend old and has no files of importance on it so I think this will be the best way. I will report my findings.

  • Windows Won't Boot With USB Drives Attached

    I just installed Windows 7 on my Mac mini but it won't boot into Windows automatically if there are USB drives attached.  I have to hold down the option key at boot time and select the Windows partition manually for it to boot, unless I remove the USB drives first, then it will boot into Windows on its own.  Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem?

    Sounds like your mini is set to boot order: boot from USB first.
    On a PC you could go into BIOS and change boot order and enable/disable USB booting.
    Not sure why or what is on the USB bus, type of drive and device that could also make a difference (and not be universal to the Mini)

  • Windows 7 Won't Boot After Nvidia Driver Installed, MSI Gaming N770

    Hi I just bought the MSI Gaming N770 2gb and after installing the nvidia drivers, Windows 7 will not boot after my motherboard POSTs. 
    I bought this to replace an AMD card.  I uninstalled all the AMD drivers before putting in the MSI card.  I've also run the Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and everything.
    After a few hours of research, I finally came across a thread about flashing a vbios, and something about these cards not working with motherboards with UEFI bios. 
    I'm using a P8Z77-I Deluxe mini-itx board, with a Rosewill 630W psu. 
    I have both 6+2 PCI pins plugged into the two 8pin power ports on the GPU.
    Is this an issue that can be fixed with turning off secure boot? or by flashing a vbios onto the card? Or is the card a dud? Or do I have to re-install Windows. 
    If the vbios is required, are there instructions on how to flash it? I have no idea how to flash a BIOS.  Thank you!!

    Had to update BIOS. All fixed!!!! 

  • Windows won't start after downloading driver.

    I recently installed an audio driver for my Lenovo Ideatab Lynx but after restarting the device, windows won't start up. It shows the lock screen but after unlocking, the screen stays blank and wont show the start menu. I think i accidentally installed the driver from the windows 8 page when i do have windows 8.1 on my device. Is this why this is happening and how can I fix it?

    Satellite P205-S6307 
    The only way it will start is in safe mode.
    So you know how to get to the Advanced Boot Options menu using F8. Go there and choose Repair Your Computer.
    When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
    I've tried several things..
    If that doesn't fix the normal boot, tell us what you've already tried. There's no point in our repeating all those.

  • G5 PPC Won't boot After New Drives, Battery & RAM Installed

    Since installing new boot drive, new battery, and additional matched RAM, when I start up I'm expecting DVD drawer to open automatically for installation of MAC OS, but all I get is a screen icon of a Mac folder, without a question mark. Tried starting up again and this time got black screen. I popped DVD drawer open and inserted MAC OS Leopard disc then restarted once while holding down C key. Nothing, but after a few minutes fans went into overdrive. Restarted again without holding C key, got black screen. I really can't hear the install disc spinning either.
    I've replaced boot drive a long time ago and didn't have this problem. Wondering if RAM or new battery caused anything to go wrong. I had a grounding strap on during all my internal work on the mac.
    Thanks for any suggestions
    Steve

    Thanks for the reply.
    Don't see logic in booting without either optical or HD as I can't go forward without both online. Hard drive is unformatted. But one thing: I had pulled the jumper to make it SATA 3 for better performance. Maybe replace jumper?
    Battery polarity is correct, positive to the left. I even reinserted the old battery to see if that made a difference.
    Are you suggesting reseating all the RAM or just the new RAM? I'll try removing the new RAM.
    Tried resetting PRAM but system never chimed a second time, system didn't recognize the command for it.
    Won't boot up in OF mode.
    Sometimes boots to black screen, other times to white screen. Sometimes the folder icon, sometimes not.
    In every case system will go into fan overdrive after about 4 minutes.

  • Windows won't boot after 9.1 flash (K8T Neo2-F)

    Hello,
    I tried flashing to 9.1 to be able to use dual channel mode, but when i try to boot windows xp (sp2) won't start. I just get a blank screen.
    I changed the bootorder correctly (1: CD 2:PM Maxtor).
    I can boot fine from a CD or floppy when i press F11 or change bootorder.
    Also when i try to put the Floppy as first bootdevice it just checks the floppydrive for a bootable disk, then halts.
    When the CD is the first bootdevice and HD second, i get a few (about 3) weird colored characters on my screen.
    When i try to boot from the second harddrive (40GB on primary slave), i get the message 'Missing operating system'.
    I've had a similar problem before when i went from 3.3 to 9.1 and changing the LBA mode on the harddrive fixed that but now it doesn't change.
    Could this be because the drive was formatted in non-LBA mode (although i doubt that's the case...)?
    Any idea's?
    Thanks.
    System:
    300W power supply (no brand)
    MSI K8T Neo2-F (VIA K8T880)
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice)
    Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 (2x512MB)
    Nvidia Geforce 3 (64mb) AGP
    Maxtor 6Y080L0 (80GB), primary master
    Seagate ST340016A (40GB), primary slave
    BenQ CD/DVD writer (16x): secondary master

    And what about optimized defaults? We have already found this to be a problem if you don't set that first before setting up the Bios.
    I mentioned the PSU as all you listed is watts and that as I say does not help us at all here. However 15a is asking for problems as you have nothing in reserve to operate from is say the PSU gets warm and loses efficiency, which by the way drops fast, or during startup you can have issues as well and may not even know it as this is the time that PSU's are asked for the most power. Also as you have a GF3 vid card, which at the moment is likely saving that PSU from even more stress, you aren't using 12v on that card, but if you upgrade sometime to a better vid card you will certainly go over the power budget that PSU has available and burn it up or maybe more. What I am saying is that we already know from experience here with people having issues that 15a don't cut it.
    So now that I have had to repeat that all over again in yet another thread... You shopuld at least have a look at what you already have as needing an upgrade and while hopefully not at the moment as we already know it runs wether well or not, you should considure upgrading it before you do much else with that system. Not that you need to replace it this very moment. I am just making you aware that your already looking at a possible problem at some point there.

  • Windows Won't Boot after resizing partition

    I am having problems with Windows not rebooting after I resized partition to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. Upon startup, the Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
    I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
    What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.

    So here's what I think happened. Upon resizing the OS X volume, a 5th partition was created. When that happens, diskutil removes the hybrid MBR that's needed to activate the EFI firmware CSM (BIOS emulator) which is still presently used for booting Windows on Apple hardware. Upon removing the hybrid MBR, Windows is no longer bootable. So what you probably did was used Disk Utility to reverse what you did by deleting the extra partition. When you do this, diskutil recreates the hybrid MBR but with the wrong partition type code. It sets it to 0x0C, and therefore thinks it's FAT32, whereas it should be 0x07 for NTFS. Disk Utility will then let you run a disk check on what it erroneously thinks is a FAT32 volume, but is in fact NTFS. If any writes are done, which it appears is the case, it corrupts the NTFS file system.
    So this is just yet another Bootcamp data loss story, without any warning in either documentation or Disk Utility whatsoever.
    What version of OS X is this?
    The easiest, but most tedious thing to do is to totally start over with everything: obliterate the entire drive with Disk Utility making 1 partition only, reinstalling OS X and files from backups, use Bootcamp Assistant to resize the OS X volume the way you really want it, reinstall Windows and restore from its backup. All of that can be done in the GUI.
    You might still use the Windows install disk to run Windows startup repair. It might fix the Bootcamp volume. The remaining problem in that case is what to do with the large pile of free space, but I'll make those suggestions later once you get to that point.
    If Windows startup repair can't fix the Bootcamp volume, and you don't have a backup, then you'll need to download and install testdisk, and read how to use it to try and find your data. It's an iterative process. Once that's done, while it probably won't fix it and make it bootable again, you'll have a basic backup of files. The remaining thing to do is use gdisk remove the broken Windows partition, make a new one that also includes free space you presumably wanted Windows to have, and make a new hybrid MBR adding partitions 2 3 4. Then reinstall Windows, your apps, and restore your data from backups.
    So that's the gist. Ask if you have more questions.

  • Window won't boot after factory restore

    Hi:
    My notebook is Pavilion dv4 -1435dx, running Vista 64, before i did system restore, windows was running very slow after log on, won't be able to work on it at all.... so i decided to do a factory restore. I tried 4,5 times of factory restore,(but failed, stuck at startup repair). And last, finally have it completely restore. right after that, I did windows upate the first thing. After downloaded and installed of windows update, Windows need to restart.... and then it stuck at startup repair again.....now it won't logon to window......
    Please help!! Thank you.

    Hi
    1) Once unit is powered on keep tapping F2 run the test and check if all test passes. If any test fails you need to replace the part.
    2) If test passes you might need a set off recovery disc.

  • Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

    Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
    2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
    3. Holding shift, no luck.
    4. Holding X, nothing.
    How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
    If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
    It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

  • Z580 won't boot after Windows 7 Install

    Hi,
    After a clean install of windows 7 on the hard drive, Lenovo Z580 wont boot up but when hard drive it put into my old Acer laptop, boots fine. 
    Initially had to remove the hard drive from the Lenovo and put into another laptop to install windows 7 as lenovo wouldnt boot from usb or CD. And then after install tried putting hard drive back into Lenovo and just doesn't boot at all. Just goes to boot manager sceen and then blank in a continous loop.
    Please help! 
    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forum!
    "remove the hard drive from the Lenovo and put into another laptop to install windows "
    You stated the exact reason for your problem.  You can't install Windows 7 on one laptop and expect it run on another by swapping the hard drive.  It doesn't work.  During the installation Windows inventories the installed hardware and configures itself accordingly.  Since they are two different machines, Windows won't boot.  You are going to have to resolve the USB or Optical drive boot problem on the Lenovo laptop you wish to install Windows on.  
    During bootup have you tried using the Boot Menu to boot the machine specifically from the optical drive?

  • Windows won't boot with my 3200+ at 2.2 ghz

    So, the only product that's actually new is the nForce2 400 which looks like a low-cost version of the Ultra 400 chipset. Unlike its feature-rich brother, the nForce2 400 offers only a single DDR controller and will not be able to support the MCP-T south bridge. However, it will still offer full support for the new 400MHz FSB, DDR400, up to 3GB of memory and AGP8X support. Not bad at all, especially IF NVIDIA sells it significantly cheaper than the Ultra 400 chipset.

  • [SOLVED] Arch won't boot after I created a separate /var parition

    Arch won't boot after I created a separate /var parition on an existing installation.And let me confess: it was maybe stupid trying to do it on an existing install.
    I edited the fstab correctly, copied the files using rsync preserving permissions. Then I kept a backup of /var using tar. Then went on to delete everything under /var, ie /var/*, the /var folder is still there. All this I did from a live CD. After that I booted into my arch linux. Here I get messages about systemd successfully finishing fsck on each of my partitions, then the screen starts blinking. And there is no more output. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete causes systemd to stop its services and reboot.
    Having realized I had borked my system, I removed the /var line from fstab and restored /var from the tar file I made earlier. Again I did this from a live cd. Rebooted into my arch system, and again similar issues, namely that after fsck and messages informing a few services had started, the screen keeps blinking.
    The live cd I used for reorganizing my partitions was elementary OS freya. They have GParted in there. I also have an arch install iso lying aroung from May 2013. If necessary, I can download the latest version. I am currently typing from a Windows installation I dual boot from.
    I don't know how to extract any boot logs as I am locked out of the system. Here is my fstab in any case:
    # Filesystem information
    # /dev/sda5 LABEL=fs_root
    UUID=b9d739cf-fd8c-46dd-a919-bd827dc47c66 / ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 1
    # /dev/sda9 LABEL=fs_var
    UUID=ec0f7a49-dccd-43ab-8651-9aa3fdb41cc7 /var ext4 rw,noatime,data=ordered 0 2
    # /dev/sda2 LABEL=fs_boot
    UUID=0e8ab31a-3bda-4b85-a901-a36f21b1583d /boot ext2 rw,noatime 0 2

    UUID=7301227c-e9f3-41b8-9d0f-4cf3c159491c none swap defaults 0 0
    # /dev/sda3 LABEL=fs_win
    UUID=12B639D1B639B5D7 /fs_win ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,showexec,nofail,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
    # /dev/sda3 LABEL=fs_share
    UUID=D272269772268079 /fs_share ntfs uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=027,fmask=137,showexec,noauto,nofail,x-systemd.automount 0 0
    I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Have you moved everything from /var to /new_var (i named it for learning purpose)? You shoud copy content from /var but not on the fly but booting from arch iso cd, and than you shoud mount your / into arch-chroot environement, mount all of your mount points and than copy content from default /var to new /var. The copying should be done with this
    cp -rax
    and you can add -v switch to verbose output. I have my own /var moved the same way.
    The simples way is:
    -boot the arch iso cd
    -mount all of your mount point (i created here in this step /new_var to move /var to a new place, and this /new_var i put in /etc/fstab as /var later)
    -copy /var to /new_var with -rax or -vrax (recursive, archive, this filesystem or verbose, recursive, archive, this filesystem switches)
    -umount all of it
    -reboot.
