Windows 7 will not boot after installation on mac pro

I have a mac pro 2006, and wish to install windows7 on another internal drive, when I follow bootcamp to the point where it says load installation disc for windows 7, it tries to load, but then I get an empty folder with a question mark in it. So then I tried an install on just an internal hard drive not using bootcamp, this time it seems to do a full installation, but when it tries to restart I get a mac symbol, with a no entry sign, any help please.

I can boot in windows safe mode, but, I cannot restart or finish the installation,

Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.

When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button.

For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
# The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop.

Digital Editions 4.0 will not open after installation on Windows XP laptop. DigitalEditions 3.0 installs and opens fine. Have tried 4.0 several times. Removed 3.0 and 4.0, reboot, reinstall 4.0 still will not open. Error message says Windows has experienced and problem and requires that Digital Editions must be shut down.

Solved my own problem. It was necessary to delete all instances of Adobe Digital Editions in programs and the registry. After doing so and reinstalling 4.02...., it became available in the "open with" dialogue box and became the default epub reader.

Windows will not boot GTX 770

Hi there,
I recently bought new MSI gtx 770 lighting edition LE. When i choose in uefi as a primary gpu - PCIe, windows will not boot, and after few seconds screen goes black. If i go with primary gpu as integrated in processor i am ok to boot even i can play on monitor connected to GTX770. When i ran passmark benchmark, i get for VGA 3600 points, againt average 6300. Is there something wrong ? Thank you. Motherboard Asus sabertooth z77, cpu i53470k. PSU 600W, 8GB ram...

Silly questions as this should be a no-brainer, but have you installed specific drivers for the 770 from the geforce website?

MacBook Pro will not boot after software update

MacBook Pro will not boot after doing an Apple Software Update (of course they will not help you). MONEY, MONEY, MONEY is the name of the game. They can cause your computer to crash and still charge you!
Does anyone have an answer to why my computer is showing a little gear spinning for hours? I have tried several things with NO luck.
Thanks-

Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Windows 8.1 will not boot after setting up dual-boot with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

In which forum should I ask this question?
After installing Linux Mint onto a partition of my hard drive, Windows 8.1 is listed a choice to boot into after restarting my computer, but will not boot up. It suggests a boot repair and to obtain Windows 8.1 from my distributor. I have seen on other forums
that this has not worked, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

White iMac will not boot after 10.6.8 upgrade

I downloaded the 10.6.8 upgrade last night. This morning, the white plastic iMac will not boot.
I have tried evey known keyboard option.
I have tried booting from the snow leopard dvd.
I have zapped the pram.
Nothing!
Please, any help would be great.

We bought 2 iMac's 27inch with i7 Quad-core. Did the update a couple of hours ago. My Mac asked to reboot after update, but i didn't accept and worked with iTunes for a while. Then rebooted manually. After reboot it took about 15 minutes to reboot (light-blue screen with nothing on it, not even a mouse). My Wife also did the update of 10.6.8 and rebooted when asked. Her iMac also took 15 minutes to reboot, bus update was unsuccesful! So did update again and then denied reboot and rebooted manually! (Apple-logo and then choose "restart").
When we did that, iMac was very fast and updateproblem was solved! So deny reboot and reboot manually and problems are over. Same deal with 2 brandnew iMac. I'm guessing this is an issue. To much of a coincidence for me!

Not booting after installation PCI WLAN-card

I own a HP Pavilion Elite m9351.nl.
Recently I replaced the pre-installed Windows Vista Home Premium by Windows 7 Ultimate.
Since then the internal WLAN-card does not wake up from standby. Also replacing the driver with the newest Ralink-driver does not solve this.
Everything else works perfectly.
I removed the internal WLAN-card completely (including removing drivers) and replaced it by a PCI WLAN-card (D-link WMA-547). Now, the computer does not boot. The power supply, fans and lights all work, but the screen stays empty. Not even the HP-startup screen with boot options appears.
After removing the PCI WLAN-card everything works perfectly. When installing it again: nothing!
How do I install a WLAN-card and revive my computer?

I have the same question: suddenly my HP notebook (Win 7) will not boot up unless I turn off the WLAN.
