Windows 7 RC "select CD boot type" message

Hello
I have tried installing Windows 7 RC on my MacBook Pro 3,1 with no luck.
When i boot from the DVD it asks me to select CD Boot Type, but the keybord is frosen, or the mac is frosen, cant tell.
anybody that knows howe to get past this???

If you don't have Windows installed already, I don't know of any method to modify the DVD.
If you have Windows, you can upgrade from Vista SP1.
You can use Imgburn in Windows - including Fusion, Parallels or VirtualBox, to rebuild the ISO.
Start IMGBURN in Build Mode
Advanced tab -> Bootable Disc
Extract Boot Image
First thing you will want to do is extract the boot image off of the DVD created from the .iso downloaded from the beta site, you can access this while in "Build" mode.
You should get a dialogue asking if you want to have Imgburn automatically setup the Bootable Disc – Make Image Bootable options to be filled in for you.
While that DVD you burned is still in the drive, and after you've extracted the boot image somewhere to your hard drive, click the button to browse for a folder to add the files from the DVD to the image. Just add the root of the drive, you should then have something that looks like this.
Now go and select folder source as your DVD drive with the ISO you downloaded and burned to the DVD.
We are about to write to disk a new ISO after filling in the Restrictions and Options we want
(see Jowie again if needed) When you save to disk drive with new ISO filename, it will give you a summary of sectors, size and then start writing image file.
I was successful with prior builds of Windows 7, and Vista SP1 64-bit, but not RC - yet.
Quoted from earlier thread:
Using latest Imgburn and following tips on what options to select, I was able to take and modify the ISO to allow booting and not getting the EFI boot menu.
+*made a bootable DVD Windows Ultimate (7077) 64-bit using the latest Imgburn and tips from Jowie.*+
http://jowie.com/blog/post/2008/02/24/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type-prompt-while-tryin g-to-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx
http://www.imgburn.com/
Just entered the parameters from Jowie and it did the rest.
Took DVD I had burned with 7077, wrote to disk, modifies it, and when burned back to new (bootable) DVD. Also worked with the system recovery CD that Windows 7 now offers to create, just have to redo the CD, but boots fine and lets me see and repair both Vista and Windows 7 operating system volumes.
Maybe something changed in 7100 RC build.

Error Message: Reboot and Select proper Boot device.

My HP desktop computer (model p6654y) will not boot directly into Windows.
I can ALWAYS make it boot into Windows by first pressing the F10 key to enter the BIOS. If I then exit the BIOS (without even making any changes), the computer will boot into Windows.
If I don't first enter the BIOS, the computer will USUALLY take me to a black screen that says:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device. Or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."
At this point it won't boot any further.
Also, the last message the BIOS displays (before the error) is:
"00 USB mass storage devices found and configured".
After that, all of the lines of text on the screen move up one level and then the screen goes black and soon after I get the Proper Boot Device error.
I do not have anything plugged into USB ports except an ordinary mouse and ordinary keyboard (both of which I changed - in case they were faulty).
My BIOS is set to boot from the Hard Drive first.
I reset my CMOS.
I do not have a CD in the CD drive.
It used to be that this would ALWAYS happen if I (1) Turned off the Computer, (2) Unplugged it for 60 seconds, (3) Plugged it back in, and (4) Turned it on. Now (after trying various things), it only SOMETIMES happens when I do this.
Any ideas?

Hello @GardenGuy1,
I have read your post on how your desktop computer is having a difficult time booting into Windows, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose this issue, I recommend testing the health of your system's hard drive by following the steps in this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). If the hard drive is found to be in good working order, I also suggest restoring your BIOS back to factory settings. This can be done by following this document on Recovering the BIOS.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Cant select boot type

Hi everyone
Ive set up a partition for boot camp but after I restart my computer I get
"1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_"
My keyboard wont work though, so I cant get past this part. Anyone got any ideas for a fix or anyone know why this is happening? Im only guessing because I wasnt able to download the windows support software

It would help us help you if you provided some details about your computer and the steps you took to partition your hard drive and install Windows. You did follow the Boot Camp installation guide right? And you installed the drivers from the OSx disk right? If you got any errors during partition and installation what did they say?
Per the install guide, you are not using a wireless mouse and keyboard right?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Satellite C660: message: reboots and select proper boot device

Hello,
I dropped the laptop today literally a few inches from the floor, it slipped from my hands as I was placing it on the floor. It fell flat.
I am now seeing the message "reboot and select proper boot device"
I have tried a few different options that I have read, and I can see the HDD in the F2 BIOS thing...or whatever it is called. So it is being recognised, but I can't seem to get around the message. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
PS I will need clear instructions, I'm not stupid, but I need things explaining. I do understand some bits and pieces.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I already looked at BIOS and saw the hard drive make/model etc listed, but it wouldn't boot from it.
I took it to a local shop today and they had run diagnostics on the hard drive and say that no data can even be recovered.
Devastated. I was really hoping it would be ok at least for data recovery because the laptop was still recognising it.
Does anyone know if this is definitely going to be the case?
Are the shop being truthful?
Thanks

Error Message Reboot and select proper boot device: C50-B-13N

Hello All,
My recently-purchased C50-B-13N laptop was installing 39 updates yesterday, when it crashed.
Re-starting trapped me into a continual loop. Following what appeared to be the logical approach to reset the factory settings, I
appear to have accidentally deleted the data on the drive.
I now repeatedly received the error message "Reboot and select proper boot device".
I've tried the F12 approach to <HDD recovery>, but my Boot Menu doesn't state this option.
I'm frustrated that the new laptop was performing so poorly, given I've had Toshiba devices for ~10 years. Additionally, I'm disappointed that the potentially serious implications of deleting the drive <even accidentally> were not clearly advised to me, before commencing.
Please advise a solution.
The laptop is 4 months old, so presumably, is covered by warranty.
An unhappy customer experience, thus far.
Regards,
DG.

Satellite C50-B-13N (PSCMLE-02001DEN)
I've tried the F12 approach to <HDD recovery>, but my Boot Menu doesn't state this option.
If you failed to create recovery media, you may need to order it from Toshiba.

Selecting Alternate Boot Volume on Startup

I want to select an alternate boot volume on startup.
When I hold down the Options key while booting, I get the following text message on the screen:
"ALL -MEM request too big!
Apple PowerMac3,3 4.2.8f1 BootROM built on 10/11/01 at 14:12:47"
--- copyright and welcome to Open Firmware ---
"To continue booting, type "mac-boot" and press return.
To shut down, type "shut-down" and press return."
I never get an oppertunity to select the boot volume. If I enter "mac-boot" it starts up normally in the default startup volume.
This seems to be an error message, but I have no idea what caused it. Does anybody know?
1.5 GHz G4 tower Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have just sent an email to tech support at FastMac to see if they have ever heard of this problem before, but of course, I have not yet received an answer.
Unfortunately, after keeping the original CPU around for about a year, I recently decided that there was no way I would ever want to go back to it, so I tossed it out in an effort to get some extra storage space. Therefore, going back to the original is no longer possible. And, the change to the current Apple firmware was a requirement for using the CPU upgrade.
I do have an external FireWire drive for backup --- the one that I had hoped to boot to by using Option key, so I could probably set up the test that you suggested.
If I really did have a default startup disk failure, I could probably boot from a CD, and then use the System Preferences Startup Disk dialog to select the backup disk, and then restart to run from it. I'll conduct a test to be sure that this will work. If so, I can probably live with the problem.
Thanks much for your help in understanding it.

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...

Windows 7 install disk not booting

Im trying to instal Windows 7 on my Mac Pro dual core 2.66. Model MacPro1,1. Mac os is 10.6.8. Boot Camp 3.0.4
After running BCA, I click to start the install, the computer reboots, and 1 of 3 screens shows up.
I eather get a gray screen and after about a minute the disk ejects.
or
I get a black screen that says,
     "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" and again the disk ejects
or
I get a black screen that says,

Any ideas?
and yes it is a lagit copy of Windows 7, I just bought it from Best Buy and cost me $200 for the full version.

I suggest you take your computer to a repair shop for some hardware diagnostics. It impossible to tell you exactly what failed. It could be a component on the motherboard; it could be a failure in the system memory; there are just too many
possibilities to speculate what happened.
