Restore full Internet on nine hard drive?

Hello Internet,

The hard drive on my iMac 21.5 mid 2010 "(EMS 2389) failed (SMART error)." He became very disabled, very quickly. Time machine would not work. I consider myself lucky to have saved my most important files manually.

I successfully removed the old HD and replaced it with a new Seagate 1 TB hybrid. I'm pretty impressed with myself, given my total lack of experience; but now I'm running into trouble.

When that I start my computer, it goes directly into the recovery of the internet (spin the globe, "it can take a long time"). The spinning globe countdown for fifteen minutes and then goes to a gray screen with the Apple logo. I lost my patience the first time and restarted the process, after about five hours.  I have restarted the process, the world of spinning for 15 min and are now waiting on the screen of the Apple logo for 15 hours. I don't know if it is doing anything at all here?

Note that I never get information; No Apple ID, no internet wi - fi, nothing. I held cmnd-R two attempts on initialize to top, thinking I could get recovery disk. I think I was wrong about that, because the drive is new and not formatted.

I don't really know what to do at this point. I couldn't find a good answer to my situation online. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Well, recovery of the Internet does not seem to work. I was able to start my original install dvd supplied with the computer. I probably should have done this first.  I created a partition and install OS X. But I have a few questions.

Restart the computer after successful installation. I then get a strong funky welcome intro and she goes into the installer. I enter the wi - fi, Apple ID, ect.  I get to the final screen "create your account" and it freezes.  This happened several times, if I deleted the partionition and started the installation again.

I'm currently waiting on creating your account again screen. Not sure if it is frozen or if it takes just time? My cursor is not a spinning wheel of color as before.

I thought installing a new hard drive would be the hardest part. This is getting frustrating. Someone at - it advice?

  • Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

    HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

    Here is my story:

    A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

    I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

    Finally, the hard drive failed.

    Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

    In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

    I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

    After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

    I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

    I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

    Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hello

    OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

    Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

End model 2009 IMac 3.06 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, screen 21 1/2 in., 500 GB, 12 GB of ram installed, the year has been saved on external hard drive Time Machine 2 giga...

  • System Restore op after failure of HARD drive and replacement

    Hello

    I have an old laptop dv9000 with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (Seagate 80Gig). I checked with the test of the bios Setup, he said "fail" and I checked by booting from the windows installation disc CD player. He said, not found hard drive. SO, I bought a disc bytes of more 1 t (same mfr Seagate, same 5400 RPM) and installed. I have a backup network (Seagate Black armor) drive and I was able to restore the last backup. The booted cd drive the recovery disc for this program, the hard drive light blinking and it seemed to be something for 3 hours, then told it was full.

    But the new drive does not start. I've read on this forum and of the joint recommendation was to use the system provided with the laptop recovery disks. I dug through the boxes in the garage and have found the system recovery discs and my 14 cd makes system restore. :-) makes to keep unwanted sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not start in the cd player. I get a white screen with the cursor in the left flashing top. I went back to try the recovery of Seagate disk, and now it will not start either. I tried to remove the new HARD drive. with or without a cd in the player it displays the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think that something touched the CDdrive. But it is interesting with the blinking cursor will restart the machine, then perhaps a part of the op system is loaded.

    It is an old machine, the old system of the op. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I am forced either on the cutting edge with all new bugs and learning curve, or I'm trying to get this old lady will machine. Other things I've linked, hard reset, restore the default bios.

    Ideas that you may have will be appreciated.

    Hello

    The laptop is back running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd player.

    Here's what he had to, for anyone who has ever has the same problem:

    The CD player was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list for assistance parts hp gave me was a suitable replacement. I installed, and the system restore disc started and ran immediately.  I decided to check and see if the windows install disc would go and restore the sytem since I thought that I had already restored the entire C: partition. He started, but did not find the hard drive. He gave an eror message that does no drive found.  I went to the hp system restore disc and running. It took several hours reformatted the drive (by removing everything I'd put) and rebooted several times. Eventually, he came with a windows desktop computer. This is the factory installed there are over 5 years old. I installed the Seagate backup software and running. He seemed to have more options running in windows he did directly from the boot cd. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to find out what it was, Master Boot Record. I thought that it should be restored. The full restoration of the backup process C: took another few hours, but he finished and gave a message of the operation successfully.

    Then I rebooted and got windows, connected and got my office logon screen as it was at the time of the backup. Success.

    In the future, I'll watch that restore MBR, maybe it's there, and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail almost at the same time. But I'm not going to fuss with it. I hope that the machine works well for a little longer.

    Thanks to those who have tried to help.

  • Is it possible to use the Acer restore disks on a new hard drive?

    The hard drive on my Aspire 5251 appears to be dead. He was behaving erraticly and we tried a full restore via the program eRecovery a couple of times and it is always wrong (error 0x45d). We also tried discs that we did when the laptop is new with no luck.

    I bought and installed a new hard drive, but can't get the disks to install on it either. I'm guessing that it is looking for something partitioned the original hard drive because he says that something is missing. It is more under warranty and I can't figure out how to order the full install discs from Acer. Is it possible to get these recovery discs to work?

    Also, FWIW, I installed Ubuntu on the new hard drive just to see if it works, and it's so I know everything works at least.

    TIA

    Yes, you can use your Acer restore on a new hard drive disks. If you have installed ubuntu, you may need to format the HARD disk and to create a partition on the disk hard so that the discs work.

    I did a windows image backup of my Vista system on a Seagate external hard drive. Now I want to restore my system from the backup, but restore in control panel procedures does not recognize the files. Version of Vista professional, Service Pack 2. I tried Virtual PC, and vhd mounting procedures.

    Hello

    read this tutorial on how to do

    To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.

  • restore the Firefox bookmarks on hard drive XP vista

    I got a pc running xp, he's dead, I now have a laptop running vista, ive tried to import bookmarks from the old drive hard through a usb port connect but little matter I do this new installation of firefox on vista won't recognize the old bookmarks files.

    bookmarks xp files are JSONLZ4

    Vista firefox insists that I find a JSON file only

    How can I restore my old favorites from the hard drive to the vista version of firefox?

    This is the second time ive bookmarks/not able import... not a bit happy.

    Just to confirm what you already know, a compressed file LZ isn't human readable. Open in a Firefox tab will look like gibberish.

    LZ files are supposed to be restored using the Firefox Restore command in the Library dialog box, as described in this article: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Is that where you got the error "unsupported file type"?

    An .ini file is a text file that contains data of settings. Each profile folder has a block of 4 lines, and the active profile folder has a fifth line. Based on your former name of profile folder, you could open the file in Notepad and add this at the end (it should be a blank line above it):

    [Agroalimentaire1]
    Name = OldProfile
    IsRelative = 1
    Path = Profiles / rnnl7h07.default

    But since I am squinting at a screenshot, you can correct this way if I do not have the right characters. Save and close this file.

    Then you can try to switch to this profile using the Firefox profile manager. To do this:

    Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Be sure not to remove all profiles here.

    Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    You should be able to select OldProfile and launch Firefox with the old settings. It runs?

    Hello

    Waiting for them, thanks a lot.

    Hello

    The use of the Toshiba Recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and to relocate again the entire image of Toshiba.
    This means that all the operating system Windows Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software would be installed on your HARD drive 200 X.
