Thread: 12.10 macbook air install boot problems after hard drive replacement

-

i had ssd installed ino late 2008 macbook air. old drive clicking, hard drive failure eminent, , time replace , upgrade.

picked blank computer repair show, threw ubuntu usb stick in , there "ntfsb ctrl + alt + delete restart" error. wrote exact acronym down somewhere else , can find tomorrow if needed (moved passed new error now!).
tried hooking apple super drive , ubuntu livecd. same error. decided burn dvd again @ slowest speed imaginable. livecd booted... yay. thought. ran through installation (made 3 partitions, swap, /, /home). disk ejected , on reboot have grey screen , blinking folder question mark inside of it.

i've been trying sorts of solutions google hold down "c" while rebooting (which lets me connect wifi nothing else). big issue can't seem boot livecd on dvd or usb! discs , usb's work in other machines!

searches lead me believe system can't find needed boot... computer shop installed new ssd did or else going on software can fix?

thanks.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
