what does this mean to be not bootable?
1752651
It means your main boot harddisk will not boot if connected to this card. This card is for connecting additional drives.

This means that you have tried to boot tke computer from a device which does not have the necessary files to load the operating system. Either the drive has a problem or an operating system such as Windows has not been lnstalled. First make sure you are trying to boot from the correct device and if so, you will have to install an operating system to make the drive bootable.

Usually , it means that the computer (Platform), whether its a laptop, desktop or tablet, does not have an Operating System installed. IE: Windows OS, Apple OS, Linux OS, Unix OS. An "OS" needs to be bought separately and installed.

Sorry, I never tried booting from it. It may depend on whether or not your BIOS sees it when it boots. I highly doubt you can do anything with this card before the OS loads.

John, safe mode is a special mode of Windows mainly used to repair the operating system. You need to attempt to get the computer out of safe mode. One way to do this is to turn off the computer, then turn it back on, and before Windows starts to load repeatedly press the F8 key until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu. You can select "Start Windows Normally" from here. If it won't start "normally" you should take it in to get the operating system fixed. Windows might need to be reinstalled, so backup your data first. Good luck!

A temporary fix to browse the internet. This disk might tell whether or not your drive is corrupted. This disk will not install Windows for you. Actually, the disk is based on Linux OS?

NOTE: Very important, after installing your old drive in this encasement, plug it in and connect it via the USB to a working computer, and immediately run an anti virus check on it to clean your old drive! I do not believe you can boot from it. (never tried to or had to!) I use this to retrieve data from the old drive installed in it, (it works great) however, it also can be utilized as an external hard drive once installed.

If it would take it you would have to install xp and then try a restore. But with the bios and chipset it may not work right.

I had the same problem. Press F12 to get into booting options. Then switch to an unsafe booting mode. Mine works fine now.

I think so, as you won't be using is as the boot drive. You should.be able to access any good files.

BIOS must support boot from USB device.Important to note: If Windows OS, you may run into HAL or MBR problems if the hardware is significantly different.

I never tried. I suspect you would need something like Ghost so you can boot up and restore.

No, and I don't know what I was thinking when I brought this. It did not last 6 months before problems arose and we could not boot it up.

It will not work during the boot process or during login. Aside from that, it should work

If you Google your error you will see that this refers to the System Reserved Partition on your disk being damaged. You need to delete the system reserved partition by removing the system partition at the beginning of the installation or going to advanced options, a command line, diskpart, select disk, select parttion, delete partition. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2476568

The stick runs off its own system and boots from the stick, not the computer so safe mode should not be a problem. I fell for a scam and was locked out of my computer by an installed password (held for ransom) and the stick booted and removed the password. I was impressed! Fred

Don't know. Doesn't happen to me. A friend I play with had a problem getting his to boot up but turning it off and on fixed it.

I have not tried booting from it yet. However, if your CPU has options to allow you to select these media, I would think you can.
