Windows 8/8.1 Hybrid Boot (Fast Startup) Problem

Hello, about one week ago I was using my laptop directly on power (without my battery), to preserve my battery a bit. I had an unexpected power cut and my machine went off. When I turned it on again, it seemed as if I was stuck in a boot loop. I
would come up saying it's installing an update, reaches 100% then reverts and restarts. It did this about two times. Now it had installed an update before, the very first time I turned it on that day before the power cut happened.
I managed to access the advanced options, tried startup repair. It had told me it failed. I tried booting again and I got through this time around. When I logged in, I ran sfc/scannow, Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and I also ran
Check Disk to ensure that no damages had been done to my laptop.
Everything seems fine but I noticed one thing was different. I had dual booted my laptop with Windows 7 using a VHD from before. When I am on the Windows 8.1 Pro side, if I just shutdown then power on again. It would take me straight to my Windows
8.1 side. When I logged in, I would notice that in the CPU up time section, in the Performace Tab in task manager, my CPU Time wouldn't be starting from 0:00:00:00, it would have been a continuation from how long the system was on before.
I read up on Hybrid Boot so I know it stores the session to disk so that is to be expected.
But ever since that incident, whenever I boot up. It takes me to the os selection screen prompting me to select an OS. When I log in on Windows 8.1 and I check the CPU time, it has start from 0:00:00:00, so it would say it's been on for
just over a minute or so.
Now this has lead me to believe that something is wrong. My machine still boots up very fast. I also checked my power options, and fast startup is enabled. I checked the registry and HyberBootEnabled is set to 1, which means hybrid boot is
on. I also turned off hibernation so that it would delete my hibernation file and re-enabled it, so that it would rebuild my hibernation file.
Nothing appears to be wrong with my system, everything else functions the way it used to but it's that one issue which I've noticed that has me slightly concerned that some setting may have been disabled or some file has been corrupted, as why to
it doesn't boot the way it used to.
My guess, is that it is not resuming the session stored. That's just my guess.
I have then since removed my dual boot configuration and reloaded my BCD which I had exported before I dual booted. So now I'm back to original boot configuration. I no longer get sent to os selection screen, as there is only one os now. But
the issue with CPU up time always starting from 0:00:00:00 is still present.
If anyone knows what's the real issue at hand or anything at all that may help, I'm kindly asking for your help.
My Machine Specs:
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600) (9600.winblue_gdr.131030-1505)

But the issue with CPU up time always starting from 0:00:00:00 is still present.
Seems you done almost all to solve this yourself. So I'm only doing a checklist to see if you completed these things.
Type in the search disk, choose,
free up disk space, unselect all, except temporary
files
Type in search Po bu, click, what the power buttons do, select,
change settings that are currently unavailable, uncheck turn on fast boot, Check, Hibernate to show in powermenu, then goto power menu, setup your hibernate settings. Shutdown computer, poweroff, upplug cord
and battery, wait for a minute then bootup.
Go into your bios and make sure your booting from UEFI, if your using UEFI, (if not then the functions and benefits of fastboot will not
work) and fastboot is enabled in the bios. If all is correct boot to your system.
Type in po bu again and enable turn on fast boot. Turn off the system again and power it off. Startup, lets see if all is working now

Windows 8.1 Hybrid Boot and Software Updates through ConfigMgr

Hello,
I've never posted here before because I usually get all my answers from a search. But this issue I'm finding very little information about throughout the web.
In my organization we have ConfigMgr deploying monthly software updates, usually just Security Updates, to our Windows 8.1 estate. We have a standard 8.1 build on our machines, nothing too custom. We have left the Hybrid Boot feature left on.
However, when deploying software updates through ConfigMgr we're seeing reboot after reboot to complete. In some cases up to 5 restarts and so we have had to disable all reboots and reboot notifications. Disabling Hybrid Boot allows all updates
to install after just 1 restart. So from what I understand, a full shut down is required to apply software updates. Can anyone tell me whether Windows 8.1 should be aware of updates it is applying and switch to a full shut down when Hybrid Boot
is enabled?
I know this is very much a Windows 8.1 issue, however I'm interested to know whether other people deploying software updates via ConfigMgr have experienced this issue in their environments.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
Please check the article below first. It indicates the restart process in Windows 8 continues to perform a full boot cycle, without the Hibernation performance improvement .
Quote:
What About Restart?
When you restart the computer, that typically means that you want a completely new Windows state, either because you have
installed a driver or replaced Windows elements that cannot be replaced without a full restart.
As a result, the restart process in Windows 8 continues to perform a full boot cycle, without the Hibernation performance improvement mentioned above.

Windows 8 fast startup issues on X220

Hi everyone - having some troubles with my X220 and windows 8.1 and fast startup.
It has been working flawlessly for a few months now with Windows 8 and an SSD but has recently decided it does not want to fast startup - every time I try and boot with the feature enabled the laptop immediately shuts off completely after the boot animation. On pressing the power button again the laptop boots 'normally' i.e. at 'normal' startup speed.
I've tried disabling the feature, using the 'powercfg -h off' and 'powercfg -h on' commands to recreate hiberfil.sys and enabling it again, which worked at first but now it has started having the problem again and this no longer works.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I may have found a 'solution' to this - I found the 'solution' posted by the OP here which was to re-enable the page file and bizarrely it seems to have worked. I am now having a new issue with fingerprint logon not logging me in when I use the reader to power the laptop on - I have to scan it again on the logon screen. Different issue though and I haven't tried any troubleshooting steps yet.
I'm still not 100% sure this is working so if anyone has any input in the meantime it would be valued!

I was wondring if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a macbookpro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on yourhelp

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer from malware, phinishing apps, adware, and othere malicious softwares and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a Macbook pro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on your help

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up ...
There is no such thing, since the problems you are describing can have various causes. Seeking anything claiming to "clean" your Mac is asking for trouble, since all of those products are scams, whether they are "free" or not.
If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe what it is. Be as specific as possible. For general recommendations read below.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Windows booted on startup without being selected

I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right place or not, but here goes; Fired up my machine this morning and it started in windows with an error message about an unexpected failure(start in safe mode). I've never had this happen before, as I always start in OSx and use VMWare Fusion if i need windows for anything, and not boot camp. Any ideas what would have caused this to happen? I'm confused to say the least.

Windows 8.1 won't boot up

My HP ENVY 15-jo11dx was downloading current updates for the built in camera but having problems with the download. Suddenly my computer rebooted but Windows 8.1 would not boot. Waited over 3 hours while hard drive lite stayed on. Nothing came on screen. Black screen of Death???
Unplugged power and battery because computer would not reboot. Started up and nothing but HP screen at startup. No Windows. Unplugged and restarted again except with esc. key and power button. Tried every option available on screens and all I could get was "Partition Not Found." Tried to restore to prevous date but nothing. I just got this computer in the first part of December.
I really love this coputer because it so fast and powerful. But right now it is a very costly paper weight. Can I please get a recovery disk to boot up my PC????
Currently I hve to fall back on my Apple to post and recieve messages. Please help.

Hi Ryan44,
Thank you for your post, I will do my best to assist you!
I understand that after upgrading to Windows 8.1, you received an error and clicked OK to terminate the program. Once you did, the screen flickered in and out. You did a shut down and restarted the notebook, but it has been stuck on Windows Repair for 12 hours.
I would try a forced reset first.Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset
If this did not help, I suggest you do a recovery and then retry the upgrade as the repair does not seem to be working. Here is some documentation to assist you with this process.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).
During this process you will receive a prompt to backup your personal files. If you have not done a backup yet, I suggest you do one now to prevent data loss.

Here another one to aid with updating to Windows 8.1 again.

Getting my T420s to boot faster: Your collective wisdom

I have a brand spanking new 1 week old T420s and I’m very happy with it so far.
I have been reading about Lenovo’s 7 second rapidboot extreme, and I get that it will only work on preloaded machines with the special BIOS etc. Mine is a work machine, so it’s has our standard company Win 7 image as well as other software. I am interested to make mine boot as fast as possible though, within the limitations I have. So far it boots in around 40s - 44s, which seems far slower than other T420s. We use disk encryption, so I measure it from when I’ve entered the encryption software password (and Win starts booting from that point), to the desktop when the cursor stops spinning. To the actual desktop itself is around 35s - 40s.
My machine is: T420s, i5-2540M, 8Gb RAM, Intel 160Gb SSD, Win7 64 bit. Some of the software that I need to have: Sophos disk encryption, Cisco AnyConnect VPN client, Iron Mountain Connected Backup, Office 2010 and Symantec anti virus.
According to this article, this is what it takes for a 7s boot:
http://www.lenovoblogs.com/lenovofiles/2011/01/26/lenovo-enhanced-experience-2-10-second-pc-boot/
1. Custom UEFI firmware from Phoenix (even if I could get it, UEFI doesn’t currently work with my disk encryption software)
2. Native UEFI mode 64-bit install of Windows 7 (GPT format) (again, not an option)
3. Intel 160GB SSD (M-class) (not sure if I have M-class, but I have an Intel 160Gb SSD)
4. Driver and service optimizations and tuning (Something I can do!)
5. One part secret sauce (??!?!)
So clearly all I can do is play with the loading of startup and services. Please note I’m not an IT person, but I’m comfortable tinkering with settings, within reason as I can’t have the machine crash. I have downloaded all the latest drivers, and installed the RapidBoot software.
Below is a snapshot from services.msc showing what services that are still automatically starting up. Honestly I don't know what some of the services are so haven't been willing to play with them in case it goes pear shaped. I would like to delay the VPN, iron mountain backup, WWAN and antivirus, but not sure where to do that, as i couldn't do it here.
So do any of you guys have suggestions on what I can do to make it boot faster?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide!!!!!

Soluto is one such free software that you can use to check the bootup speed and what each element is conributing to the time. There are 3 divided areas that you can tweak (no way / up to you / no brainer). Each service you can read what is the function and whether you can turn off or delay..
Thanks Ideasmiths. I did try Soluto, but then i uninstalled in. I noticed the software sends back through to themselves all the startup info and stats of your machine. I didn't have time to read through and understand the implications of it all, so i wasn't comfortable with it.
I did notice Soluto could delay loading stuff like the VPN etc, which made a difference to the boot up time. But I also figured if the SW could do it, there must be a way i can configure it myself to do the same thing?
And I guess in a way thats what i'm asking - how can i delay the startup of the non essential SW that can't be set to Automatic (Delayed). Agree, I'm not after all out boot speed at the expense of system stability. And there is SW i still need, but I don't need them at startup.
ColonetONeill, thats exactly what I want to do - delay the startup of the antivirus, the VPN, and the backup software. But I'm not sure how to do that. I completely disabled the VPN, and it shaved 3s off the boot time.
Thanks for the suggestion of eBoostr. I'll have a look.

Cannot install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp

I have one of the new iMacs (late 2012) and I can't install Windows 7 32-bit using Boot Camp. Whenever I try to being the installation using the Boot Camp Assistant, I always get the following message: "Need 64-bit Windows installation USB drive or DVD. Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows". I have successfully installed 32-bit Windows on my Macbook Pro that is running the same version of Mac OS X and Boot Camp, but I don't know why on this new iMac it doesn't allow me to. Apple's documentation states that I should be able to install either 32-bit and 64-bit without any problem, but this is not the case here. I can't find anything about this problem/error on the Internet either. HELP!!!

Yes, circumstances do change but if Apple is, as they claim to be, serious about seamlessly migrating what is still a large and dominant market share of users from Windows, supporting 32 bit versions is not a nice to have, but a must have.
I don't see why users have to make excuses when there is a clear shortfall of what is promised.
In other discussions, there is talk of an opportunity for Apple to make a significant impact, as Windows 8 has deviated so much from the comfort zone of traditional Windows users. But to make that change, Macs have to support what is still a primarily 32 bit environment in the installed base.
As for the use of VMs, I had a tough time migrating out of Parallels 6 after an upgrade to Mountain Lion broke compatibility so IMHO it is not a long term solution unless you are happy to hand out $50 every 2-3 years just to support the same functionality.
Use Virtual Box, it's free.
32 bit may have a reasonable user base but it's going away fast, if you must use 32 bit Windows and won't use a VM your choice is limited.
Buy a PC, or buy an older Mac.
The rest of your post is speculative and I won't go there.

Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5: keyboard & mouse don't work

Running OS-X 10.8.5 on iMac 27 Late 2013. Everything goes smoothly installing Windows 7 64-bit with Boot Camp 5.0.4 until Windows does its final reboot (after a complete, apparently successful install), and begins the Windows setup sequence. The first setup screen asks for User name and PC name. My mouse and keyboard do not work at this point. Tried cold rebooting: Windows boots up, detects it needs to do first use setup, and gets to same failure point.
NOTE: I have never had a chance to install the Windows support drivers; but the mouse and keyboard worked through out the istallation.
I've tried two different W7 versions: 64-bit Pro and 64-bit Enterprise [Enterprise is not supported, but I have installed it on an iMac 27 2010, and a MacBook Air 2013.]. Both versions of W7 hang at the same point described above.
I've tried a Windows DVD install disk plus Windows support drivers on a flash drive; and I've tried a bootable flash drive with everything on it. Both fail at the same point.
I have tried both wireless and USB keyboards and mouse. Same failure.
I have even tried removing the flash drive with Windows support drivers before the final reboot. Same failure.
NOTE: when I reboot in OS-X and go to the Startup Disk, the windows option says "Untitled Windows" instead of Boot Camp; but I can select it, and it starts the Windows boot which ends up at the same Windows setup failure point.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Has anyone succeeded? If so, any special actions or ideas?

The issue may be related to the iMac 2013 only having USB 3.0 ports and that windows 7 does not come with drivers for it. Try the following (borrowed from answer on Mac Rumors Forums http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1659481):
<quote>
If you run into issues with keyboard and mouse not working (due to USB 3.0 and Win 7 incompatibility), you need to run your Win 7 partition (and Win 7 installation disk/partition) in legacy mode. (I found this information at:http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support#faq123 - see "Method using Terminal"). Here you will be setting the legacy on the installation volume of win 7, not bootcamp partition (yet). After running the diskutil list find the volume with installer of Win 7, and then run the command (substituting the disk1s2 below with the information you find through diskutil on your computer:
sudo /usr/sbin/bless --device /dev/disk1s2 --setBoot --nextonly --legacy
Enter administrative password when prompted. Next, select Restart from the Apple menu. Do not hold the Option key while restarting.
You should have mouse/keyboard working. Begin the Windows 7 installation. Upon first restart right after the installer completes, boot into Mac and set the legacy mode for the BootCamp partition (but this time without the --nextonly flag), so you can use keyboard/mouse to complete the installation and thereafter until the USB 3.0 drivers are installed).

Is there a way to get the sbRIO to boot faster?

I'm using the Robotics Starter Kit (with the sbRIO 6931) and I've built and deployed the Roaming example.
From a cold reboot, it takes 63 seconds before the program starts running.
This seems too long for a High Performance Realtime system.
The cRIO application we use for our FRC robots boot much faster than this.
I dumped the serial debug log and found that everything up to (and including) "NI-VISA Server 5.0 started successfully." takes 23 seconds, but then "Welcome to LabVIEW Real-Time 10.0" takes another 40 seconds.
Any way to speed this transition up?

Hi Esmail
I checked out that link, but there's not a lot to go on.
I'm already using a Static IP, so that's not the problem. The boot blasts right past that step.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what "uninstall any software that you don't really need from MAX and disable services you don't want from the project" means.
Why would there be any "services" in the project that I don't need?
I don't see any provisions to remove them in the Project Build specification.
All unused VI's are already excluded.
If I eliminate stuff from MAX (assuming I know what to eliminate, and how to do it) wouldn't that remove it from all my projects?
My problem is that I have the Academic License installed, so essentially "Everything" is on this machine.
I need to ensure that any changes I make won't effect other projects.
Since I'm working with the vanilla "Roaming" application that comes with the Robotics Starter Kit, can you give me ONE example of something I can remove to make it boot faster.
If I can work through that item, then I can probably figure out other things I can also remove.
I just need a starting point.
Thanks
Phil.

Install Windows XP in Leopard WITHOUT Boot Camp - No More Disk Error

For those of you having problems installing Windows XP in Boot Camp because of the formatting screen never showing up and then the system restarting with the dreaded:
Press any key to boot from CD .....
Disk Error
Press any key to restart
I too spent many frustrating hours trying to find a solution that worked. I searched these threads, tried many of the solutions suggested here and elsewhere, including recreating the Windows CD without a specific file, using the FreeDOS boot CD (couldn't ever get it to work, though I understand some people have had success), Reinstalling Leopard and trying again, dancing around the laptop with incense three times counter clockwise while chanting the name of my childhood pet... etc.
I FOUND A NEW SOLUTION!!!! A much easier solution!!!!
For anyone who is having this problem and is planning to run virtualization software.
(Something that let's you run Windows from inside Leopard)
SKIP BOOT CAMP ALTOGETHER!!!
USE VMware Fusion to install Windows.
I decided to try a different approach entirely and did a completely fresh install of Leopard (not sure if that was necessary or not but with everything else I had been trying I wanted to clean it up anyhow) and then installed the 30 day trial version of Fusion w/ the unlock key VMware emailed me.
I entered my information and Windows product key into Fusion's "Easy Install" Interface, clicked install, and about 30 minutes later I was browsing around in XP.
I HIGHLY recommend this option for anyone having difficulty with the formatting screen not showing up. I have a Bachelors Degree in Information Systems and still spent the better part of 2 days working on this boot camp problem, including numerous hours with the higher tier of apple's tech support. I suspect that those of us having this problem may have an OEM or systembuilder copy of XP... but that is for Apple to deal with - not me, I have better things to do with my time.
If you are planning to run Windows from within Leopard anyhow, just buy Fusion and to **** with the hassle.
You can go to VMware's website and get a 30 day evaluation copy to see if this will work for you before you decide if you want to purchase it, they will email you the unlock key.
Best of luck, hope this saves someone some time!

For what it's worth, I've used the OEM version (copper disk), Select version (bulk license), and an NFR (partner program) version of XP Pro with SP2 and they all worked. On my MacBook Pro's I use boot camp to split the disk in two, reboot using the Windows CD, and pick the partition to format it.
Apple states that you need a full version of Windows, and the OEM versions are slightly different from the commercial versions, but both should work. On my Mac Pro, I created a 3-disk OS X RAID-0, and left the 4th disk alone. I rebooted with the Windows CD and installed Windows to the 4th disk without Bootcamp at all. Once Windows was installed, I used the Leopard disk to install the Bootcamp drivers. The Mac side has no Bootcamp installation but I can still choose between the volumes by holding down the option key at boot time or by setting the startup volume in the OS X Startup disk preference pane.
The solution to use virtualization, unfortunately, will not work for many situations where graphics are involved. Most current major products, such as AutoCAD, 3dsMax, and so forth, will not run properly or at all without specific DirectX 9 or OpenGL support. To date both Parallels and VMWare do not completely support DirectX or OpenGL.

Boot Camp doesn't install the drivers. You have the drivers on a separate USB device if you followed directions. Once in Windows connect the USB drive with the driver software. It should startup automatically and install the drivers.
You don't even need to do that. As downloading the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant can be unreliable, it is better to get the package directly from here:

Copy the .zip file to a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD in OS X. Install Windows as normal, insert the flash drive/DVD in Windows, copy the .zip file to the hard drive, extract it, then run the setup executable.

Windows keyboard -- Command key not recognized at startup

I know the Command key maps to the Windows key on Windows keyboards. But it only seems to work once the Mac has started up. In other words, it can't be used to issue special startup commands, such as to zap PRAM.
Does anyone out there successfully use the Windows key as the Command-key at startup?
Background:
My brother is a switcher with a Mac mini with a Windows keyboard. He has a startup problem that has been diagnosed as a potential PRAM problem. But he couldn't zap his PRAM. In fact he hasn't been able to do any startup functions that require the Command key. He uses the Windows key as command key during normal operation, but it isn't recognized at startup. He tried many times, and I'm certain he was holding the keys down at the correct time. Afterward he borrowed a Mac keyboard, and was able to zap the PRAM with it with no problems.
Do all Windows keyboards have this problem?
mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1 GB RAM

Yes, using various keyboards including generic Dell models, a Logitech, and an early IBM USB device. There is a possibility though with some keyboards - perhaps those with a number of extra function keys - that MacOS doesn't recognize the keyboard and waits until it is told what the device is by the usual 'keyboard not recognized' dialog/assistant. In those instances I would imagine the keyboard would fail at modifying boot options because in effect the system would have to be booted fully and go through that recognition sequence first!

White Screen of Death at Startup - Boot Camp Based Problem

I recently received my Intel-based 20" iMac yesterday and this morning I set it up and transfered all of my files from my old Windows XP computer successfully. I then played around with the iLife suite and a few other programs and decided I should probably run Boot Camp and set up Windows for a few Windows-based programs I need and some games that are Windows only.
I started to look up Boot Camp on the Apple website, then realized iMacs that came with Leapord pre-installed should already have Boot Camp on them. I searched in Spotlight for "Boot camp" and found the "Boot Camp Assistant." I thought that was close enough, so I started the application up.
First, it told me I needed to partition my hard drive and create a space for Windows. I figured I would have only a few esential programs on it, so I opted for a partion of about 10-12 GB if I remember correctly. The installer then told me to insert my Windows disc and I then put in my Windows XP SP1 installation CD. It read it, shutdown, then booted back up into what I recognized as the Windows setup screen.
It went through the normal setup steps, until it got to a point where it asked what partition I should install Windows on. There was only one partition listed, so obviously I chose that one, but what was weird was the partition said it was over 100,000 MB, which is not the 10 GB I told it to partition. I got scared when it told me it would have to format the partition since it wasn't suitable for a Windows installation yet. I figured it wouldn't hurt to recheck the amount I partitioned, so I quit out of the Windows installer.
Next, my Mac restarted and went to the infamous white screen of death.
I have tried basically every single way to fix this.
I tried:
Alt - Option - PR (Reset the PRam) And waited for both 2, 3, 4, and 5 dings
Alt
Option
Shift (Safe Mode)
Put in the Mac OS X disc and booted up holding:
D
C
None of these worked. Sorry if my key abbreviations are off, by the way, because I'm writing this on a Windows laptop and I haven't gotten the keys down for Macs yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Apple call support is curretly closed, at least in my timezone. I'll probably try calling them tomorrow, but mostly I'm afraid of having to get a whole new harddrive and/or iMac. I haven't backed up my data anywhere yet (this is just my first day with the Mac) so if I lose the data, there goes upwards of a few thousand dollars in music and other data expenses.
Thanks in advance for ideas, I'll try anything you throw at me now, as long it doesn't void the warranty or involve formatting my hard drive. (Though if you know a way to format my hard drive AND save my data, that would be even better)

All the data that you transfered to the iMac should still be on the PC which originally contained the content. Transferring to the Mac is in reality only copying.
A Boot Camp Windows installation requires Windows SP2 only;
To use Boot Camp, you need:
1. An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.
2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
  Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. 
6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;
