Windows 7 crashes on boot repeatedly after 10.9.2 upgrade

As the title says, after running the 10.9.2 upgrade last night, it's impossible to boot up into Windows 7. Just preceding the login screen, my MacBook Pro restarts itself. A following Windows boot attempt brings up the "recovery" screen where you're able to attempt a diagnostic / repair, or boot normally. The repair process gets as far as trying to restore the system "to a previous safe state", but as both my keyboard and mouse are completely unrecognized (re: nonfunctioning) at that point, I can't even click anything to attempt to proceed.
Anyone have thoughts? Much appreciated.

I am also having the same problem with Windows 8.1. Was working perfectly fine until I updated Mavericks to 10.9.2.
Now when I restart the computer and boot from the Windows partition windows begins it's boot process then the screen goes blank. I end up having to power down.
I also would love some help here!!

Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3. Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

Windows 8 crash on boot from hibernate

Ever since I bought my Thinkpad S1, the thing has had trouble rebooting from hibernate. 9/10 times it crashes on boot and i have to shut down the laptop with the power button in order to reboot it manually. It always crashes while the spinning windows 8 loading icon is showing.

Yes, probably you are right.
Its very strange that you cannot install any of the Windows systems. Even if there would be a software problem, the Recovery Disk should solve this.
But according to your last message, the recovery disk does not work too and therefore a hardware problem is possible.
Unfortunately, its difficult to say whats exactly wrong here without running some diagnostic software and checking the hardware parts.

Cannot get to dual-boot screen after Win 8.1 upgrade

Hello,
I have an iMac with Mavericks. Recently installed Win 8 to dual-boot. Instrux then were to hold OPT button during startup to be presented with options for OS with which to boot.
Since Win 8.1 upgrade there is no way to get to that prompt. MS/Win help topics not useful (unsurprisingly). I have the original install disk but would far prefer to save my current config of Mav. Thoughts for workaround?
Cheers,
Michael C

holding down option key at bootup not giving you the bootmenu have nothing to do with win8.1
even if one never installed anything in terms bootcamp at all then holding down the option key should give the option between osx and the restore to last clean osx version
if you don't get the option then I'd say the cause is not windows as the menu is handled by the bootloader which is before windows takes over

Photoshop CS2 on Windows 7 - unable to boot up after installing

Hi everyone, I really hope anyone can help me with this!!
Ok, I've always used Imageready CS2 to open avi files to edit then save as animation GIF without affecting quality (which part of PS CS2 that I did pay for) on my old laptop with Windows XP in the past.
Since then I've got a upgrade to PS CS5 (paid for) which I've installed successfully onto my new laptop with Windows 7 but till now, I'm dismayed to find that I'm unable to open avi files in PS CS5 just because I have 64 bit, not 32 bit even though I couldn't find the 32 bit program anywhere (apparently I found the 32 bit by searching in start up button but it still opens as 64 bit?).
So I thought I'd try installing PS CS2 into Windows 7 using my CD and found that the activation part doesn't work anymore which leads me to finding that I could download a copy of PS CS2 without the activation bit (yes I did the uninstall before installing PS CS2 without activation) everything was great BUT...untill I tried booting up my laptop next time, it wouldn't start up properly at all, it would only manage it to that Boot Screen Animation then blackness with the cursor in the middle or rarely to the log on screen that doesn't work but thats it so I had to do a system restore to get it back in working order minus the PS CS2
I thought it was the fault of other things I've downloaded at around same time like xvid decompressor codecs (so I could use VeeDub64) so I downloaded the codeces from different source and restarted to see if it boots up ok (it did) so I tried installing PS CS2 again but same thing happened on restart - failure to boot up and I had to do a few system restores (as some of the points didn't work ) before I barely got it back in working order yet again....
I see that some people have PS CS2 that works perfectly on Windows 7 with 64 bit because they changed the file path when installing the program? Or was I supposed to have the 32 bit program somewhere although maybe I don't have it since my PS CS5 is not extended? Would either of those work? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to try as I may end up killing my laptop this time around and it's only around 2 years old!!
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

I'm happy to report that I've managed the resolve this issue of mine
After a little discussion with customer support through online chat today, I was still advised to try the uninstall and install to see what happens.
So I used the CC cleaner tool first, restarted then started by installing CS2 then CS5 using my serial numbers and made sure that I selected 32 and 64 bit programs to be installed
Anxiously, I restarted my laptop to see if it would reboot okay and thankfully it did *relief!*
Now I can open avi files using 32 bit of Photoshop CS5 without any problems (thank goodness!!)
I think I probably didn't install the 32 bit program when I first bought the installation CD, since I thought I didn't need it but never knew it was still required for editing avi files!!
Surprisingly, I still got to keep both versions of CS2 and CS5 this time around, as CS2 was simply replaced by CS5 when I first installed it two years ago....hmm.
So thank you again gener7!

Windows 8 crashes in boot camp.... bad pool header

I continuously am forced to reboot window's 8 in bootcamp due to a blue screen. The majority of time the error states "Bad_pool_header" but there are times when it is another message.

I would point out as I did above:
I also installed the Boot Camp special hardware.
you are running Windows.
Boot Camp (Assistant) partitions the drive, and in Lion downloads Windows Support software.
Lion 10.7.4 w/ Boot Camp 4.01 is the better choce.
With Windows you will always be on your own and need to update drivers.
Apple isn't going to until after 8 is either released or is finalized, and maybe only for Mountain Lion (guess based on past)

Windows 2012R2 does not boot automatically after BSOD

I have a Windows 2012R2 server with some critical applications.
Sometimes one of that applications causes BSOD. It doesn't matter why - I need the server to reboot and continue running without manual intervention. Instead of it server restarts and then stays on "Choose an option" screen (with Continue/Use
a device/Troubleshoot/Turn off your PC options).
After that I need to go to server room and press Continue manually. It is not an option for me because it can happen during the night and server will not be operational until the morning. Is there the way to skip that screen automatically?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your issue in the forum.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Windows machines can't join domain after 10.5.4 upgrade

Howdy folks,
I have a ticket open with Apple on this but am posting here in hopes that someone might have an idea for me.
I upgraded our Mac OS X Server 10.5.3 to 10.5.4 on Sunday, and this morning several users reported that their PCs running Windows XP SP2 were unable to login to the Windows domain hosted on this machine. It's the primary domain controller for the Windows users.
One thing to note is that I had to reinstall the server completely because the 10.5.4 patcher crashed, creating all kinds of mayhem. I did a fresh install of OS X Server 10.5 and immediately applied the 10.5.4 combo updater to it. I had to restore the Open Directory from an archival copy, and the SMB was created fresh. Not sure why but the SMB services weren't preserved by the Server settings export command in Server Admin.
I thought unbinding the PC from the Windows domain and then rebinding it with a new name would help, but I've been completely unable to add older computers to the domain, even after removing the old computer records first.
I've got a reproducible failure mode for this problem on a Windows XP virtual machine running on VMware Fusion on my Mac. Here's the method I've been using to create the failure:
1. Change Windows XP System name to something new that doesn't already have a computer record on the Mac OS X Server and reboot.
2. After the reboot, run "NewSID" program on Windows to globally change my Windows machine's SID to a new, random value, and reboot again.
3. Attempt to use the Network ID wizard in the Windows Control Panel to re-add the machine to the domain under a new name so there's no conflict with any old computer records floating around in Open Directory. After it prompts me to enter the username, password and domain name for a user who's authorized to add machines to the domain, I get a dialog box that displays this error:
"Your computer could not be joined to the domain because the following error has occurred:
An internal error occurred."
Not too informative.
Here are the error messages I see in /var/log/samba/log.smbd (searching for the new computer name in the search field):
netbios connect: name1=BIGMAC name2=JEFFVM6
netbios connect: local=bigmac remote=jeffvm6, name type = 0
opendirectorysamsearchname gave -14136 [eDSRecordNotFound]: no dsRecTypeStandard:Computers record for account 'JEFFVM6$'
odssam_getgrnam gave -14136 [eDSRecordNotFound]: no dsRecTypeStandard:Groups record for 'JEFFVM6$'!
opendirectorysamsearchname gave -14136 [eDSRecordNotFound]: no dsRecTypeStandard:Computers record for account 'JEFFVM6$'
kDSStdAuthNewUser was successful for account "jeffvm6$"
At that point it's impossible to join the computer to the domain no matter what. The most puzzling thing is that SOME of our users were able to login without any problems whatever. The ones that were either physically off or somewhere else when the 10.5.4 upgrade was applied are the only PCs that seem to be having problems.
Any help at all is appreciated. I suspect this is some kind of a SID conflict because the SMB server had to be recreated from scratch, but have no idea how to fix the client, the server, or both to make the computer account creation process work.

The problem is fixed.
The issue boils down to an argument between the Open Directory server on bigmac (the OS X Server machine) and the SMB server on bigmac. The crucial information I needed to solve this problem was located here: http://www.radiotope.com/node/61
The Open Directory database had to be restored from a backup following this weekend's problematic upgrade, and it had a different value for the SID for the Windows domain than the one used by the SMB server software itself. Even stranger was that the Open Directory database actually had the wrong domain name! The It was listed as "BIGMAC" in Open Directory, even though it was set to the correct Windows domain name in the SMB server.
The solution was to demote the SMB server from a Primary Domain Controller to a Standalone Machine, and then repromote it. Although I changed no values in the settings, and did not modify the plist containing the SID in the Open Directory via the Inspector in Workgroup Admin, after the SMB PDC was repromoted, the SIDs and the domain names in Open Directory and the SMB config agreed with each othe. Now new machines can join the domain and users can login just as they did before. No client-side modifications are necessary.
Hope this is helpful to someone else. It was quite the hair-pulling experience for a while there.

System crashes multiple times daily after 10.9.2 upgrade

I upgraded my MacBookPro to 10.9.2 and now my computer crashes constantly. Prior to the upgrade my MBP was rock solid. Now, some days are good and it will only crash 2 or so times. Other days are bad, today it must have crased 10 times. I definately feel like I've gone back to microsoft ****.
Here is what I know and what I have done.
1) When I "upgraded" I was using firevault. I did not turn this off prior to the upgrade. I suspected this might be the problem early on because my computer asked me for 2 passwords on boot. One for "legacy firevault." I turned this off. The computer still crashed. I did a safe boot and turned off firevault. This time my computer took about 4 hours to presumably unencrypt the drive. Compuer still crashed regularly
2) I have used safe boot several times.
3) I have used disk utility to check my HDD. No errors to fix.
4) My experience seems to be that often time when moved around my folders in finder the computer crashes so I deleted finder preferences: com.apple.finder.plist
5) I have also reset the NVRAM and the SMC
Still crashing.
Here is my latest crash report. Anyone have any ideas?

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may have a logic-board defect covered by this recall.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they should still be covered.
Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Cannot boot itunes after 10.1.2 upgrade.

Hello there..I had itunes 10.1.1 running fine on my XP - apple updater told me there was a new version (10.1.2) so I upgraded...did the install and now I cannot boot itunes from desktop or anywhere else...tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck...no messages, no errors just...no itunes.
Do you think you can help or anyone else who reads this?

I Finally got mine working correctly. I have windows 7 64 bit. I uninstalled everything and reinstalled using the 64 bit. It works now. I don't know if the automatic update selected the 32 bit to update. I rechecked the system requirements, it looks like itunes no longer supports the 64 bit xp system--if that's what your is. I would look into that, and maybe downgrade to the olde itunes.

Windows 7 crashes seconds after booting up.

Windows 7 is crashing everytime I boot up into it. I'm on a Mac Pro 2010 (MacPro5,1) with OS 10.7 Lion. The installation goes fine through Boot Camp Assistant, but after the "Windows Support Software" (Boot Camp drivers), downloaded through the Boot Camp Assistant and burned to a disk, installs and restarts, Windows 7 crashes. Any ideas?
I've spoken to Apple support twice. First time the advice was to reinstall everything including the BOOTCAMP partition. I did that. Windows 7 runs just fine until the "Windows Software Support" drivers are installed. The second time I call to Apple support I'm told there is no solution for this. He said maybe I could just install the drivers manually and not install the ones I don't need and see if that helps.

I think there is some misunderstanding as to what is happening, when, and also why.
Pull all the drives other than the one Windows will be installed to.
To install Windows 7, nothing is needed.
Boot Camp Assistant included, unless you really want to share a drive with Mac OS on it also.
Nothing will get installed until after Windows is installed, and that is when Apple drivers are needed - except in some few cases (USB-DVD, MacBook Air, a trouble booting from a Windows DVD otherwise).
A Mac Pro does not need assistance booting Windows 7. It is as close as can be to a stock PC workstation.
Boot Camp from 10.6 work fine.
There has not been a tech note I've been able to find as to what BC 4.0 offers, maybe able to 'work around" the presence of the Lion Recovery partition - which itself is optional unless using FileVault2, and can be on another disk drive than the primary boot drive.
After Windows is installed is when you need to provide hardware drivers; Apple TimeServices; and others. You still will need ATI and Realtek after that.

HP Pavilion Elite e9220f crashing repeatedly after critical update

HP Pavilion Elite e9220f, Windows 7 64-bit.
Crashed on 5/9/13, wouldn't reboot. Freezed with blinking cursor in upper left corner of blank screen after HP splash screen.
Changed HD from RAID to IDE mode in BIOS and Windows started but crashed with blue screen on trying to install the IDE controller driver automatically after start-up. Blue screen crash codes indicated the hard drive controller was the source.
System Restore lists several critical updates for Windows over the last few weeks. I ran System Restore in safe mode to 5/4/13 restore point, then rebooted to safe mode for confirmation of restore, and it then booted normally and successfully installed the IDE controller driver, but then crashed again as soon as subsequent critical updates were reinstalled. Disabling Windows Update via services.msc then restoring to 5/4/13 again finally stabilized the system, able to use normally without crashing.
To try to solve the underlying problem preventing further critical updates and allow me to turn on Windows Update again, I found the firmware update on HP's site for the hard drive, WDC WD10EADS-65M2B0, from version B0 to BX. However, after updating the firmware to BX, Windows now crashes upon starting even still at restore point 5/4/13 or even all the way back to 4/28/13, and now before it can even attempt to install the IDE controller. In otherwords, updating the firmware made it worse. The system is again unsable.
Anyone else having this problem?
JoEbYX

I agree that it is inexplicable, if that was indeed the case.
If the PC has a single drive, then it makes zero sense to use RAID mode. RAID is an acronym which stands for redundant array of inexpensive disks. The use of any form of RAID (0-5) requires a minimum of two physical hard disks.
AHCI and IDE are the only viable options with a single hard disk.
Did you make a backup or image of the hard disk?
What is the installed OS?
You will need to enable the SATA msAHCI driver in the operating system as this Microsoft document explains. Use the Microsoft Automated Fixit on the document to resolve the issue. It will take care of the registry change required. Afterwards you will need to enter the BIOS and verify the SATA mode is set to AHCI and if not, change it to AHCI before the next boot into Windows.

How do I repair a Windows 7 partition when it is after Windows 8 partition in a Dual Boot Setup

I have a laptop that I purchased a year ago and which came pre-installed with Windows 8.
Recently, I successfully added Windows 7 as a dual-boot, and this worked OK. To obtain the space for Windows 7, I shrunk the Windows 8 partition.
In Disk Management, the Windows 8 partition is physically located after OEM and EFI partitions; Windows 7 partition is is adjacent to Windows 8.
All went well until I shrunk the Windows 8 partition further to increase the size of the Windows 7 partition, after which Windows 7 came up with a boot error....Windows 8 still boots OK.
I inserted my Windows 7 disk to perform a Startup/Repair, which failed because the first OS partition it sees is Windows 8 and a message tells me that I need to install the correct media for that system.
I searched for advice and assistance to solve the problem....to no avail - and had to completely re-install Windows 7 and the associated applications.....and I really don't want to have to go through this again.
I actually use Windows 7 more than 8, and if I have to lose one or the other, I would dump Windows 8.
So....is there a manageable way I can keep the two systems recoverable and migrateable to another disk in the future. If not, how do I safely remove the Windows 8 partition without damaging Windows 7? Ideally, I would just like to swap the partitions
round....but with EFI and BCD partitions, I am reluctant to go into the unknown.
Sorry....bit of a saga....but would appreciate any advice.
Rob Nick

Hi Rob,
Above all, as the purpose is to enlarge Windows 7 partition, please understand that shrink Windows 8 partition again cannot help on it. A partition can be expanded only if there is free space "after" it.
So you will still need to delete Windows 7 partition for expanding purpose.
If it is fine to just make Windows 7 back to boot order. Please try following command lines.
Note: Please run CMD in Administrator mode.
bcdedit /export “c:\boot”
This is a backup. You can delete it if things go successfully.
Then please create a new entry for Windows 7:
bcdedit /copy {current} /d “Windows 7”
It will provide an entry ID. Copy it and it will be used in following 2 command lines.
bcdedit /set {identifier} device partition=X
Replace X with the drive letter of Windows 7 system located.
bcdedit /displayorder {identifier} /addlast

Lenovo G780 will not boot up after windows update

My friend's G780 will no longer boot up after installing a windows update, one for which she cant remember, and ever since she updated it, the lenovo boot screen will appear, then turns black, and stays black. It will, occasionally, give her the option to go to the "windows did not boot properly" screen, giving her options to refresh the pc, restore the pc, advanced options, etc.
Changing boot priorities, using "repair" did not work, and neither did trying to find a system image.
She is unsure what to do, and I am as well.
Any recomendations?

hi connorjacob,
Thanks for Posting!
     If you can try and get the screen again where it gave you options like Refresh PC, Restore the PC and Advanced option.
      Choose Advanced option to pull up   a new page with options
    With the options, You can try:
Try Selecting System Restore and see if you can find a restore point prior to to insalling the said updates.
Select Windows Start up Settings and Find two options that can help
              - Boot to Safe Mode (See if the computer boots in safe mode)
              - Last Known good configuration
Let me know your findings
Hope this helps
Cheers!

How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.
