  Hi Kim,
   
  -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
   
  If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
  • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
  • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
  • You don't have any boot device
  • You have installed a new hard drive
  • The hard drive is not properly connected
  • Your system files have been infected

  Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

  Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

  At the recovery console command line, type:

  Chkdsk /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

• Uninstall the bootcamp partition: the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  A few months ago, I created a Windows 8 bootcamp partition, and then, I updated for Windows 10 without any problem. But I no longer need and I would attribute this space to OS X. The problem is when I try to remove it from the app of Bootcamp, I get this message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted in a single volume in Mac OS extended (journaled) or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. »

  It comes to the current state of the hard drive:

  

  You have an idea? Thanks for the help.

  I finally solved it. It seems that I had a not mounted partition which it has not been used. I removed it and it solved all the problems:

• BootCamp not appearing player is not in the startup disk.

  Just today, I noticed that my bootcamp drive does not appear in the startup disk in system preferences. I use 10.11 El Capitan. However, I was able to boot both of the OS by pressing 'option '. And also disk utility does not show the bootcamp partition. But in the finder, it shows the partition. When I try in recovery mode disk utility, here it shows the bootcamp partition. But not in OS X.

  And finally, 'get info' when I try and guess what: it shows the last open: January 1, 1970, at 05:30. which is never true.

  Is this problem of OS X, how do I do?

  

  You can try to run first aid by using disk utility. I would start on the recovery drive to do.

  Restart the computer and hold command-R

  Also, once you have repaired the disk in the recovery drive, quit disk utility, then leave OS X Utilities and select "Choose Startup disk." See if the Windows partition appears here.

  Good luck

• Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

  I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

  When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

  The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

  I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

  If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

  If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

• SSD in new ALX R4 installation and what makes the startup disk

  Have just ordered a new R4 ALX. Would have preferred to order a combo HDD SSD, but Dell didn't, this combo and the largest SSD they available was 512 GB.

  Thus, when the new PC arrives, I intend to install a 840 Samsung 1 TB mSATA SSD EVO (using an Icy Box 2.5 "to 3.5" HDD/SSD converter).

  YouTube has a video showing how:

  "Alienware Aurora ALX R4 - installation of an SSD.

  So, how can I make the SSD the startup disk and the backup HARD drive?

  Re-install the operating system? Can I clone on the SSD HARD drive, then change the boot order? Something else?

  For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

• Bootcamp error: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition" and Windows recovery partitions

  I have Setup with Bootcamp Windows 8 and then upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then upgrade to Windows 10.

  When I want to restart the training camp that I got the error message: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

  According to this page, it is because of Windows recovery partitions added during the 8 to 8.1 migration and 8.1 to 10.

  I check with diskutil and I found 2 partitions of Windows Recovery:

  I tried to delete the Windows Recovery 2 partitions with disk utility tools but the button "-" to remove them were leaving is disabled.

  Is it a good idea to remove these partitions? If yes how?

  1. What is the year/model of your Mac?

  2. you are trying to install a new copy of the W10 or remove the existing installation?

  3. do you have the W8 or installation/upgrade W8.1 had problems before the upgrade of the W10?

• Try to install Windows XP and at the start of the drive I get the error message: Disk Boot Failure

  Disk Boot Failure

  I recently learned that so that my motherboard compatible with my operating system, I have need to uninstall the current one and install Windows XP. I use Windows 7, so I booted from this CD and deleted all the partitions and data (nothing is important there), then I went to start my new Windows XP CD and it says "Disk Boot Failure... etc.

  I changed the BIOS to boot from the CD, seeing as the other CD has worked to boot from, it doesn't seem to be a problem with my drive. I can't understand. Maybe it's a dodgy CD?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Vista 64-bit, DISK BOOT FAILURE

  So I have this Acer Aspire AX3200-U3600A with Windows Vista (64-bit). Every night I turn it off and turn it back on in the morning.

  About three weeks ago, I did a factory fresh reimage. Good as new.

  Then about two days ago, when I turned it on, I noticed it was running extremely slow. As in, he would often freeze while I had several applications open when it froze usually never upward. So I decided to restart my computer. Big mistake.

  My computer froze right after that I clicked on stop. I waited some time. Nothing. Waited a few minutes. Nope. I decided to stop it by pressing the power button. Here is where the problems begin.

  When I turned it back on, I saw the bar logo and loading of Windows, and then load to black. I turned it off again with force by the power button / stop and then once more... then I got:

  AMD data change... Update new data on a DMI interface!

  then later clears the screen and I get:

  AHCI Option ROM BIOS revision: 01.05.92 Date: 19/02/2008 Copyright (c) 2006-2008 Phoenix Technologies, LTD. Port 01: Reset Port error! Port 02:

  then the screen clears again, but this time it loads from the bottom:

  NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542 (copyright stuff... blah blah) PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: Released Nvidia Boot Agent DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.

  So, I try to go to Safe Mode. Well, first it loads faster. After it loads disk.sys fromwindows/pilots, he waits a while (2-3 minutes) and THEN load. However, it loads the Acer eRecovery Management Tool. I have three options: reset the computer to factory, restore the backup of the user, or output. However, the upper part, two options are gray and disabled so that the output is in blue and certainly clickable. Secure mode so obviously isn't here...

  A strong thing to note: Initially when this all started, I made a start Windows Normal pressing f8 and I arrived at my office! It me logged in. I could see the icons on my files. However, my office was extremely slow as in when I clicked on the start menu, he'd wait awhile, and then load the menu with JUST the gradient, no text or icons... so as you can see... He saw my HARD drive?

  Also, before anyone says, I no. plugged USB. My mouse and keyboard are not entered USB, I assure you. And it came without a recovery CD AND when I went into the BIOS, to change the BOOT ORDER, I have NOT seen a CD-ROM option. And when I tried pressing ALT + F10 to enter Acer eRecovery Management, the options of two albums have been disabled as well.

  But sometimes, on startup, I get:

  Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

  This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a USB external drive when the appliance is used, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or the CD-ROM drive which is a failure. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

  If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

  Status: 0xc00000e9

  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

  Then I tried the last known good Configuration settings, which gives me a BSOD.

  What should I do

  Hello

  This explains the reasons for this error

  Chances are that it is a hard failure.

  Go to the Acer Web site > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

  See you soon.
