Hi,
The image you download should just appear as 1 file. You should then use the 'Burn a disc image' option in Power2Go to write this correctly to a disc.

X220 doesnt boot after spill

Hello,
i spilled water on my keyboard. at first my x220 continued working without any issues but i took the opportunity to take off all the keys and whipe it clean. my computer was in standby at this time. after reinstalling all the keys i intended to start my system and it refuses to boot.
while reinstalling the keys i noticed that the display "flashed up" once what apperead to me as if the computer was switching from standby to hibernating mode. it did this as i was applying pressure to put the left shift key, being just above the vga slot.
when i know press the power button it starts blinking a few times but the screen stays black, no further reaction. if i take out and replace the battery and press the power button, the screen flashes up shortley as it did while replacing the keys of the keyboard and it does so showing a few colored vertical stripes.
what can be the problem here? will it be due to possibly entered water (are they not supposed to be spill resistant) or might i have squeezed the graphics adapter or other sort of hardware when reinstalling the keys? is there anything i can do now? hooking the x220 up to an external monitor doesnt help either. the external screen stays black and the system still does not boot;
thanks for any help. unfortunately i will not be close to any lenovo dealership for support for the next few weeks as there arent any in northern chile.

My MBP doesnt boot after update / Prohibition sign flashes twice and then goes straight to OX Utilities

Hello all,
I thought I would never be here, but I am.
After updating iTunes and Memory Clean in App Store (nothing unusual) my MAC stopped booting properly.
MBP / early 2011 / Mountain Lion
It shows the Apple logo flashing twice the prohibiting sign (cancel circle), after that it goes straight to the OS X Utilities.
Note:
- It recognizes the HD and the Recovery partition.
- Verify permission shows a lot of /Applications/iTunes issues, but I have repaired like 5 times and still showing issues.
- Hardware test passed OK.
- Repair disk, no issues.
- Shift (safe mode) doesn't work (lot of flashing ? folder, apple logo, etc).
- PRAM restarted, twice.
I can't reinstall or launch the ML installer, when I go trough the install process which mandatory requires Internet connection and AppStore login, it states: This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
Please help me, I'm desperate this is my production machine and I'm travelling.
What I'm missing?

You cannot reinstall Mountain Lion from the App Store, but you can install Mavericks which is free and will run on your computer. Here's what you do:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Satellite M200 doesn't boot after RAM 4GB upgrade

Hi,
I recently upgraded my RAM just to speed things up a little as RAM is soo cheap these days.
I have a M200 T2130 Vista came with 1GB (2*512) sticks.
The new sticks are 2 *2GB Dane-elec DDR2 pc2-5300, when I put the two in and rebooted the hard drive light came on briefly and then it just stayed idol, no POST, Bios options.
I tried using a single 512 stick with both new sticks and they both work in a 2.5GB setup just not together also this only works when the 512 stick is in the more internal slot and not the other way around.
So if anyone has had a similar prob or can give me some advice that would be great, I'm not to sure if the motherboard can support 4GB?
Thanks, Dave.

Hi
There are two possibilities why your M200 doesnt boot after the RAM upgrade.
Firstly the installed RAM could be not compatible or could be faulty or the notebook doesnt support the 4GB RAM.
I dont know what M200 do you have exactly but you could check the installed chipset and could check on the Intel page if this chipset would support the 4GB RAM.

Vhd mount failure in windows 8 after expanding it

after expanding the fixed vhd,
I could not mount the drive via disk manager action so I tried the vhdmount form virstual server2005 which I used in the past on the vhd in batch files. I got the foolowing message
The Virtual Hard Disk is successfully plugged in as a virtual disk device. However, not all the volumes on the disk were successfully mounted. Use Disk Manager to mount the volumes.
what can I do to dix the problem?

I am not sure how you get virtual server 2005 to run, but if you have a hyper-v vhd file, you can ask at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverhyperv.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

Windows 7 x64 Professional does not boot after install

How many vCPU and how much RAM have you given the VM?
Are you using alt +F10 and going into the shell to format the VHD and prior to the installation?
Are you using media that has SP1 slip streamed into it?
Have you tried forcing the vm off and then back on again?

Learn. Apply. Repeat.
vCPU = 1
RAM = 2048MB
No, I haven't try formatting the VHD between the window installation. This is the first time I'm facing the issue. It is a simple windows 7 pre activated iso file, not powered by SP1. I have tried forcing the VM off and ON again, but simply i can't get the
window screen back. Whenever the VM malfunctioning like this, then it cannot be shut down from the Hyper-V directly, but to make the VM Turn Off manually.

Nokia booklet doesnt boot and no bios

hi
Ive bought a new booklet and installed all the updates. While surfing on the internet i suddenly wasnt able to use the keyboard or the touchpad. I wanted to restart but the power button didnt react too. So i took the battery out of the booklet.
But now it doesnt boot and theres a black screen. I cann hear the fan but after a few minutes the booklet turns off aggain. What can i do???

There is no fan, but what you hear might be the hard disk. BTW, does the Booklet/BIOS really not offer an option to boot from SD cards (which has been a common feature for ages on many notebooks featuring such readers), or do they just need to be formatted in some particular/peculiar way? I did see an "Operating System not found" error message when waking up from hibernation while an SD card was plugged in, so under some circumstances it DOES seem to try (and give preference over the hard disk).

Mountain lion won't boot after login

I cant get my mbp to boot after the login screen. I type in my password and get the apple logo and spinning grey thing. Ive tried safe mode and it doesnt even boot into it. I dont get the progress bar and it just goes to the apple logo with spinning wheel. I tried single user mode and get USB errors when any peripherals are plugged in. This has never happened to me before today. I also used bootcamp today and when I tried restarting back to my mac it was now doing this. I dont know if there's a connection there. I tried booting to recovery mode but that doesnt work either. Just same old grey screen with logo and wheel. Internet Recovery Mode did come up but didnt do anything. I have Lion on an external drive which I'm on now through Firewire 800 and that allows me to access my internal drive on my mbp and also repair it through disc utility. Having done that it still doesnt make a difference. Single user mode comes up with errors and wont let me run fsck. I'm definitely running out of options here and dont know what to do next. The picture below is what single user mode ends up coming to with nothing plugged into my computer.

Ended up doing a clean reinstall of ML and it works.

Lenovo G400 doesnt boot

Hi Guys
my lenovo doesnt boot
the installation was messed up
windows was setup in drive d
doesnt really matter
is there something i can download to format the laptop
it keeps on restarting
doesnt even reach the login page
thanks

If the battery-LED is blinking fast (approx. 2 times per second) remove the battery, disconnect from power supply and press the power-button for 30 seconds. Then attach the power-supply leave the battery off and try to poweron the notebook. Dead batteries also can lead to the symptoms you described.
More hints:
The Z60 is based on the ThinkPad T43. It also can get "Flexing".
Other causes may be contact with liquids in the past, damaged keyboard, crashed BIOS-update, a short in the USB-ports.
To reset the CMOS you also can remove the BIOS-battery but take care: If BIOS-passwords had been set, you only can run the computer after entering the supervisor-password.

Satellite P10-504 doesn't boot after RAM upgrade

Just got 2x 1GB sticks of DDR 400 soddim's, and no boot.
Now after reading up on what I could find on similar models, seems that these older laptops may not handle that fast of ram?
Would using some DDR 266 be more appropriate?

Hi
If the notebook doesnt boot up then there is a big chance that the RAM is either nto compatible or its faulty.
I think its not compatible.
I found this page:
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=7090&ft=m&st=3
According to this page the P10 supports the *200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM* memory modules!
So your RAMs are not compatible!

LED blinks upon switching on, system doesnt boot up!!!

I have HP Pavilion dv4 1225dx laptop
While switching on LEDs located near caps lock and num lock are blinking, without any beep sound. At the same time, the exhause fan runs. But the system doesnt boot up. The LED blinks continously, with out stopping. Time to time the system boots up and i was able to work normally, still with blinking LED signals.
To note, i dont see anything in the screen and i tried with alternative screen, but the situation remains...
I checked in the Hp support, which conveys the problem in the CPU. but I was able to login my system even after this problem.
So im not sure my CPU is having a problem.
Before this issue, there used to be a message while switchign on about replacing the internal battery. This i havent done yet. Im suspecting this issue.
Also, recently i cleaned the exhaust windows using an air gun.
Presently, My system is working on windows 8 OS.
I hope to have answers to my problem
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply!
But how to overheat the system.
I tried leaving it on for at least 7-8 hrs, then sometimes it starts and not sure about all the time.
Moreover how to switch off the fan to overheat the system.
Anyway both suggestions will take time to switch on, is there any instant solution???
thanks in advance
