Uber fundraising drive values app higher than General Motors

Uber fundraising drive values app higher than General Motors


Ride-hailing app is valued at $62bn making it the world?s most valuable private start-up and outstripping the US car giant?s $55bn worth

The Uber app

Uber Technologies is raising money to expand its ride-hailing app into Asia and for new services such as food and parcel deliveries

Uber Technologies, the company behind the taxi-hailing app, could be valued at more than $60bn (œ40bn) after its latest fundraising round, according to reports.

The San Francisco-based car-booking company hopes to raise as much as $2.1bn in new cash, Bloomberg reported. It has filed paperwork in Delaware detailing the financing plans, which would value the business at $62.5bn. This would exceed General Motors, whose market value is $55.6bn.

In the summer, Uber was valued at $50bn, making it the world?s most valuable private start-up.

Uber, which launched its app more than five years ago, is seeking more funding as it expands into new areas, such as food and package delivery, and rolls out its taxi-hailing service across Asia, particularly in China, where it is spending $1bn. It is working on new technology, including self-driving cars.

Uber faces a growing number of rivals around the world, including Didi Kuaidi in China, Ola in India, GrabTaxi in Singapore and Lyft in the US. Those four companies are teaming up in a global alliance that will make their apps compatible for travellers, they announced on Thursday.

Uber is fighting legal battles around the world, some with its own ?driver-partners?, who are seeking the benefits of employees. In London, black-cab drivers have staged protests against Uber, putting pressure on Transport for London to ensure the US firm is subject to the same kind of regulation as them.

Uber has attracted investments from Tiger Global Management and T. Rowe Price as part of this financing round. Microsoft took part in a previous fundraising. Uber had already raised more than $10bn before the latest fundraising. Tiger also backs Uber?s main three Asian rivals.

Troubleshoot a Failed Hard Drive

Troubleshoot a Failed Hard Drive


If you get a BSOD or other random error with the Windows operating system, it is usually assumed to be because of a virus, malware or other software error. If you?ve gone through all of the proper troubleshooting steps regarding PC viruses and other Windows software, but still are getting an error with the operating system, it may be due to a failing or erroneous hard drive.
hard drive failure
If any PC part is to fail, or at least cause errors within the Windows OS, it?s most likely the hard drive. Sometimes, PC parts can fail without notice, leaving Windows in a non-functional state or with poor performance or random errors. In today?s article, we will review some ways that you can troubleshoot a basic hard drive.

Hard Drives

Hard drives are one of the most common computer parts that fail without notice. Additionally, hard drive errors can cause many types of Windows errors.
Checking a Hard Drive for Errors
If you can boot into Windows, you can use the built-in CHKDSK function to help troubleshoot a failing hard drive or hard drive with errors.
Begin by launching the Start Menu and selecting Computer. This will queue the Computer window, which lists all of the PC?s active drives.
Windows Computer Pane
In most cases, the internal and primary hard drive for a PC will be the Local Disk (C:) drive. However, it may be different depending on your PC?s drive setup. From the Computer pane, locate the PC?s hard drive andright-click it. From the context menu, select the option Properties.
This will launch the Properties dialog for the specific drive.
Local Disk Properties
Click the Tools tab and select the Check now option to check the hard drive for errors.
Windows Error Checking
Can?t Boot Into Windows
If you cannot boot into Windows, then you also have the option of running the CHKDSK function (mentioned above), from Windows Recovery Console. You will need a functional PC with Windows to create a System Repair Disc. As Microsoft notes, creating a System Repair Disc can be done using the following steps:
System Repair Disc
Upon booting from the system repair disc, you can run CHKDSK, but additionally, the disc has a few other utilities that can help repair and troubleshoot a Windows operating system that will not boot. Remember, for failed or erroneous hard drives, the objective is to be able to boot into Windows so that you can backup any important files or data from the drive.
Data Recovery
If none of the above options are suitable, then you can also attempt data recovery, if the hard drive has important files or data that you absolutely need. Data recovery is a bit more work, but it can be worth it in some situations.
Data recovery is complex, and can involve advanced drive troubleshooting using fdisk and commonly, specialty recovery software. If the hard drive has errors, is completely corrupt and won?t boot into Windows, you may be able to recover files simply by removing the drive from the PC and using a hard drive enclosure to connect the drive externally to an existing Windows PC. From there, you may be able to use specialty software to manually browse the Windows based disk using file structure, and manually move important files or data to another drive.
Additionally, to learn more about hard drives and complex data recovery options, you may want to check out PCStats Beginner?s Guide to Hard Drive Recovery.
Complete Reformat and Erase
In a scenario where Windows won?t boot and even the System Repair option fails to fix the hard drive, you should consider performing a complete reformat and erase, before considering the drive to be a vegetable and throwing it to the garbage. In some cases, such as a complex rootkit virus, Windows may have system level errors, in which a hard drive format is the best option.
To completely format and erase an internal PC hard drive, you can create a bootable formatting disc. For this, you may want to check out DBAN, or Darik?s Boot and Nuke. Upon booting from a DBAN disc, you can wipe the primary PC hard drive using some basic command line.
A failed Hard Drive
Worst case scenario is a completely failed hard drive that may have a failed spindle, arm or platter.
Hard Drive Components
In a case where the actuator/arm or other mechanical component has failed, you may want to consider the drive to be done with. However, if you have extremely important data on the drive, and the platters are still intact and undamaged, you may be able to swap the platters to an identical drive and repair the drive, which would ultimately give you the option to recover your PC data.
This requires an advanced technical understanding of hard drives, calibration and more. So, in most cases, it would be better to have a tech or data recovery specialist do this, rather than attempt it yourself.
Those are a few ways that you can troubleshoot, recover, diagnose and fix hard drive errors and failed hard drives. Thank you for stopping by the site for today?s post. Enjoy!

The BIOS does not detect or recognize the ATA SATA hard drive

The BIOS does not detect or recognize the ATA SATA hard drive


BEST GREENHOUSES FOR GROOVING VEGETABLES
? ? 1(360)241-1624 ?

DURABLE! AFFORDABLE! ALUMINUM + UV POLYCARBONATE 



tips if your pc slow loading or freeze: First I will give you simple fix -  usually a restart will fix it. There may be an attached device that it is having issues talking to everything else. (always kip your BIOS OS other drivers up do date) Use on-board video if you got it, unplug all hard drives, DVD and CD drives, and IDE Devices, and all other card (Video, Wifi, Ect) just with those. If it get past that great! then try adding things one at a time and see what is freezes at. Also sometimes all things need is to be pulled and re-seated. Youll be surprised how often that alone fixes boot up issues like this.
I have recently waiting for the WIN logo to get over almost 30 minutes after second restart, (just wait always wait) then I unplug Lite-on DVD/CD Rewritable drive Model LH-20A1S, AND PC boots in 20 seconds. Please note if you just reinstall your OS, you will need update drivers for the DVD drive even if you updated it before, it is all gone and fresh copy windows is missing it, it is different with Firmware, these are stay on the drive


Tips for troubleshooting SerialATA & ATA/IDE internal drive that is not detected in the system BIOS.
There  are several reasons why a system BIOS will not detect the presence of an internal hard drive.  Follow these steps one by one to see if any can fix this problem:
Drive is not spinning up
If the drive is not receiving power, it will not spin up. To check to see if this is the cause of the BIOS not detecting the hard drive, follow these steps:
Power off the computer. Open the computer case and remove the ATA or SATA cable from the hard drive. This will stop any power saving commands from being sent. Turn on the system. Check to see if the hard drive is spinning. If you touch the side of the drive you should feel vibration. If you do not hear or feel the hard drive acting, the drive did not start.
If you cannot determine whether the drive is spinning: , Boot the computer and listen if it is, Try to shutdown the computer, Disconnect the power cord from behind your computer, Disconnect the power cable from the hard drive, Reconnect the power cord to the back of your computer ,Power on the computer, to see if the drive sound was audible before & then repeat, but only reconnect the hard drive and listen for it sound, Switch power cables with a device like Optical drive, so that you are using a functional power cable.
Check the power supply on your computer to determine whether it is providing sufficient electrical power to operate the drives and devices you have in your computer. If the drive is still not spinning, connect it in another computer if possible. Connect the drive in a SATA-USB enclosure or something similar if possible. If the drive does not spin up after all of these steps, please visit manufacture Warranty page to begin a warranty replacement order if it is still under warranty. 
Drive not enabled in the BIOS:
Most personal computers display a brief message about entering System Setup soon after the power is turned on. System Setup is also called the <<system BIOS>> or sometimes call <<CMOS Setup>> - each is a name for the same thing, for example, on HP systems you will see <<F2=Setup>> in the upper right hand corner during the computer boot-up.  This means to press the F2 key so you can enter the Setup or BIOS.   Different computer manufactures have different methods to enter Setup, so please check your documentation for specifics. 
BIOS is where the date and time are stored and where startup preferences like NumLock or Passwords are defined. In different hard disk drives are often controlled here.  Hard drives are numbered in Setup as Drive 0, Drive 1, etc. or in some cases as Primary Master or Primary Slave.  Which ever way these are named, they have ON & OFF setting <<sometimes AUTOMATIC or  similar>>.  If your drive is not detected it may be because it is turned OFF in System Setup.
In most cases, the boot drive is Drive 0 or Primary Master.  When you add a second drive to the system, it may be need to be enabled by turning it ON in System Setup.
Screen shot showing  System Setup section for disk drives:

Faulty or Unplugged Data Cable
Always inspect the motherboard and hard disk connections for bent or misaligned pins. Folding, crimping, pinching, or creasing data cables can cause the wires to break inside the insulation, leaving the exterior of the cable looking normal. When in doubt of data cable condition, replace it.
For SATA cables, Seagate recommends using cables shorter than 39.37 inches (1 meter).  For further information, please see Document ID: 182453.

Images of Serial ATA cables. 




The BIOS will not detect a hard disk if the data cable is damaged or the connection is incorrect.
Serial ATA cables,  can sometimes fall out of their connection. Check your SATA cables are tightly connected to the SATA port connection, sometimes you can hear click, from lock.
The easiest way to test a cable is to replace it with another cable.  If you still have a problem, then the cable was not the cause.
For ATA drives, use UDMA cabling with a maximum length of 18 inches. UDMA cables have color coded connections which require proper orientation when connecting.



Blue connector - always connects to the motherboard.Grey (middle) connector - is used for slave devices on the cable.Black connector - is used for master device connection.

Faulty Hard Drive 

If you have completed the above checks and procedures and the drive is still not properly detected, please attempt to use FreeTools to test the drive.  If Tools does not detect the drive after the steps followed above, or an error code that signifies drive failure displays, please proceed to the manufacture Warranty Services page to begin a warranty replacement order.





Tips from Tomshardware website! By Paperdoc on March 16, 2012 2:37:24 AM

First, I dont expect you need to update your BIOS. A lot of people recommend "update your BIOS" whenever the mobo has trouble working with a "large" HDD because that WAS an issue for drives over 128 GB on IDE ports a while back. It has NEVER been an issue for SATA drives.
However, I do recognize that there sometimes are odd problems that can be fixed by BIOS update. If you need or want to do that without an OS installed, your manual (per the reference above from rolli59) shows you how under Section 2.1.2 on p. 2-2. It assumes you will download the latest BIOS file and place it on a USB thumb drive. Then you use a BIOS updating utility already built into your existing BIOS, following the manuals instructions.
Your manual deals with drive configuration in Sections 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 on pp 2-7 and 2-8. It does not indicate that there is any option to Enable or Disable drives, so well assume they are all Enabled. The Main screen of BIOS Setup shows the drives: if your drives are not detected and shown on this screen, you do have a problem. If you know your drives are good but all your SATA devices are Not Detected on this screen, then Id suggest you have a bad mobo.
On the other hand, Im not clear from your post that you are looking at this screen when you say, "BIOS not detecting SATA drives". If this screen does show your SATA units properly, then the BIOS HAS detected them, and you have a different problem, probably in configuration. In Section 2.3.4 you set the SATA Enhanced Mode. IF you are using Win XP in any version, you should set this to P-ATA. But assuming youre using Win7 or Vista, set this to S-ATA to get best use of your drives.
If your CD is the ONLY device on the IDE port, its jumper MUST be set to Master, and it should be plugged into the END connector on the ribbon cable. I would assume that is how it was on the old mobo, but check it.
Are you re-using your drives from before the mobo change? I would assume you are. It sounds like you are trying to Install your OS on one of them, which is a good idea. You probably cannot simply hook up your drives and expect the new mobo to boot from that - at least, not without some work to fix driver problems.
Assuming you are trying to Install to a previously-used HDD, the Install Process may tell you it cannot find any empty drive to Install to. That is NOT because the BIOS is failing to detect. It is because the drives are all "full" - that is, their entire space is assigned to existing Partitions. To do the Install of the OS, you need either to use its tools to Delete all existing Partitions on the ONE HDD youre installing to, or at least to tell it to use one specific Partition (large enough for the job) to Install to. IF you Install to any existing Partition, be aware it will wipe that entire Partition clean and you will lose all its old data.

Tips OSX How to Save Space Hard Drive Mac

Tips OSX How to Save Space Hard Drive Mac



MacBook Air with SSD capable of quickly indeed very proud of its users but in some cases, the SSD is too small to store a variety of data, especially for those who choose a lot of files in bulk. For that you need to perform well SSD management, including removing all source files iMovie. If you have done it but the Mac hard drive space is still not enough to accommodate a collection of files then you need to follow these tips advanced that contains 5 steps to avoid overloading the hard drive.

1. Delete Cache Files
Even if you use a Mac desktop that has a very large space but to save hard drive space is still important to do. You can do this by deleting the cache files.

When you delete apps to make the disk space a little relieved, that still leaves the actual user application cache is not deleted also. The files were left to help the performance of OS X and various applications installed on the Mac. If you no longer use an application, you can delete the entire cache file.

How, in the Finder press Command-Shift-G or click on the Go menu, select Go To Folder. Then type:

~ / Library / Caches /

This way you will display the folder that contains the user caches. Once open, you need sorting files by size to determine the size of the files and folders you want to delete.

Open the View menu and select Show View Options or press Command-J on the keyboard. Click the checbox which is on the Calculate All Sizes and close the windows View.

The next Mac will show the number of all files in the Finder, including folders. If you are not yet set, then immediately set course windows to do with the List View or Command-2 on the keyboard.

Well, now you can see the cache file with the largest size there at the top by clicking the Size once again. Furthermore please delete all the files that you no longer need.


How to Save Space Hard Drive Mac


2. Delete Speech Voices
Another thing you can do to save hard drive space by deleting voices Mac files are used OS X for text-to-speech. This file type can be very large and need to be removed when no longer used.

Open Terminal from the Application folder, dock, or use an app like Alfred launching system. Type the following command:

cd / System / Library / Speech /

The above command will change the directory (cd) that you use speech to another directory where files are located. To delete all of them, type the following command:

Voices sudo rm-rf / *

If in doubt use the method above, you can manually delete the voice files through the folder / System / Library / Speech / Voices / then delete the voices that you do not use, such as the cello or Bahh.

If in doubt use the method above, you can manually delete the voice files through the folder / System / Library / Speech / Voices / then delete the voices that you do not use, such as the cello or Bahh.

3. Check the Application Support folder for Steam Game Files
For gamers who frequently use digital gaming portal Steam, you need to check the Steam files that you can delete.

Open the Finder, open the folder behavior ~ / Library / Application Support /. Inside that folder you will find a folder that Steam could be lots and lots of files from different games you no longer play. Be sure to Calculate All Sizes from the View menu when viewing the Steam folder and sorting based on Size. You will be able to see the game files are very large, delete it if you no longer use.

Other folders that you need to see is the Application Support. A number of applications use the folder to store the files that you no longer even wear. Make sure you pick and choose which files should be deleted.

4. Delete File in System Logs and QuickLook Cache
System logs is one place that contains a lot of files to help work the system OS X. However, you can just delete the files in it because the files can be made many times.

Open Terminal from the Applications folder or Dock. Type the following command:

sudo rm-rf / private / var / log / *

Command over befungsi to clean up system logs, including when you run the command above. Therefore you can often do this to increase your Mac space.

Furthermore please close the Terminal window and open another one. Type the following command:

sudo rm-rf / private / var / folders /

The above command will clean QuickLook file and you can do regularly to keep the Mac space. It should be noted that each of the above command prompts you to enter the administrator password.


The above command will clean QuickLook file and you can do regularly to keep the Mac space. It should be noted that each of the above command prompts you to enter the administrator password.



5. Disable Mac SafeSleep Mode
There is an OS X feature that was released in 2005 called SafeSleep. SafeSleep is basically made a hibernation mode to save the current condition of your use Mac so that when you turn it on at a later time after sleep, the Mac will be in the same condition as when you left. Such conditions do not change even when the battery ran out and shut down.

Disable Mac SafeSleep Mode

In OS Lion, Apple then introduced two new features called Autosave and Resume that provides similar SafeSleep. Unfortunately, all of these features actually consuming hard drive space. To disable SafeSleep mode, open a terminal and type the following command:

sudo pmset hibernatemode 0

Command over deadly SafeSleep function. Afterwards you need to delete the image SafeSleep file by typing the following command:

sudo rm / var / vm / sleepimage

If you use Mac often still connected to power when in sleep mode and the battery has never been below 20% then it means you are not using a Mac SafeSleep. Thus disabling SafeSleep become mandatory for you to do.

For non-Mac equipped with SSD, it takes longer to save SafeSleep image to your hard drive. In contrast, for the Mac that uses SSD Mac, not necessary at all to do the same. Later if you want to reactivate SafeSleep, type the following command in Terminal:

sudo pmset-a hibernatemode 3

Good luck!

Upgrade to a new hard drive on your MacBook Pro and clone OSX and BootCamp

Upgrade to a new hard drive on your MacBook Pro and clone OSX and BootCamp




***DISCLAIMER...Its your fault if you screw up your system.  Read through the entire post before attempting.

I purchased a new larger capacity hard disk drive (hdd) to upgrade an existing smaller solid state drive (ssd) because I started running out of room.  I liked the speed of the ssd, dont get me wrong, but a weighed the options and more storage space was a priority.  So I compromised and picked up a Seagate hybrid sshd.  Got one while they were on sale $100 through newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178340.

This one took a while to rap my fingers around and Ill say most of it was dumb luck.  I know there is WinClone available on OSX and probably would have made this easier.  Think WinClone is about $30 and honestly probably would have saved me a bunch of time, but being the stubborn ba$T@rd I am, I decide to stick through it on principle.

What I had...
OSX was 10.8
Windows was 8 with media center

Things youll need:
  • hdd enclosure; this is to connect your existing hdd to copy data over to your new hdd
  • windows 8 installation DVD (or Win7); needed to allow bootcamp creation
  • OSX installation USB or SD drive to boot from; might be able to use the recovery instead
  • windows 7 repair CD; needed to run specific commands to fix the boot (the version of win7 repair CD I used was modified because getting the timing right to engage the CD boot process made me pull more hair out than I care to discuss.  I renamed the bootfix.bin file from the boot directory.  This causes the CD to boot instead of waiting for prompted.  The MacBook keyboard didnt work and the screen picture were out of sync to enable to proper timely to engage the CD.  You can create your own using UltraISO and renaming bootfix.bin under the boot directory.  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92763248/Repair%20disc%20Windows%207%2064-bit.iso
  • GPART CD  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
  • Remove encryption.
Pre Steps:

1. With your existing OSX installation, install the gdisk program http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/.  We will use that to modify our soon to be screwed up hybrid MBR.  In the mean time lets take a look at a none screwed up hybrid MBR.

Issue the following commands on your old OSX operating system (OS):

sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
sudo gpt -r -vv show disk0
diskutil list 


That will give us a bearing on what your disk use to look like.  Might be handy for later on to have this printed (Command + Shift + 4 than spacebar will get you to screenshot the window).

Steps:
      1. Turn off the system and remove the existing hdd and install your new one (Ifixit.com is a pretty great place for these how tos).

      2. Attached your old hdd to a USB enclosure and attached to your macbook.  I had purchased a simple USB3 sata link from newegg.com.



      3. I made an SD OSX installation media disk. I think you could probably use the recovery hd to do the same thing.  I attached the SD to its slot.

      4. I then booted the macbook holding the option key down.


      5. It should boot and look like the following.  If the new hdd has no bootable partition you will not see your new drive.  The orange in color USB symbol enclosures are your old OS.  The mountain lion emblem is the OSX installation SD.  This is whether I think its possible to boot from your old OS recovery hd to perform this next action.  I havent tried that.  The next action will be to copy your old OSX to the new hdd.  I decided to use my OSX SD and booted from that.



      6. Select Disk Utility.



      7. Your new hdd should be at the top.  Select it on the left pane.



      8. Now select the partition drop down.  This is where we are going to partition and format your new drive.  Select 1 partition.



      9. Title the new volume "new mac".  Ensure it is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.  Then Select options.



      10. It needs to be set to GUID Partition Table.  Select OK.  Apply.



      11. Partition.



      12. Once completed your "new mac" partition should show on the left.  Select the Restore tab.



      13. This is were we can copy our existing OSX OS to the new hdd.  Left click on your old OSX partition and hold the mouse button down as you drag it to the Source.  Notice the orange color enclosure icon.  This indicates an external device.  Now drag your newly created "new mac" partition to the Destination.  Should look just like mine. Restore.



      14. Erase.




      15. Should begin copying the data over.  This processes should take a while.  After that is complete reboot your macbook while holding the option key on boot.  Now boot to your new macbook OS.  I removed the old hdd and installation SD before booting.



      16.  Lets see what has changed in our partitions on the new hdd.  Here is an example with the above three commands issued again.  This was on a 1TB HDD.  Notice the size in the fdisk command takes up the entire hdd.


      17. We now need to partition the bootcamp slice.  Find the bootcamp icon inside the Utilities directory.
      18. Start bootcamp assistant. Continue.

      19. If you have a Windows 8 or 7 installation DVD remove the "Create a Windows 7..." check mark.  More than likely since this is about cloning your bootcamp Win8/7 installation you already have bootcamp installed on your Windows OS so remove the check mark.  Install your Win8/7 installation DVD and make sure the "Install Windows 7 or later version" is checked.  Continue.
       
      20. I decide to divide my partitions equally.  You do what you want.  Install.  It is required to have the Win8/7 installation dvd installed to get this step rolling.
       21. You system will automatically reboot to DVD.  ***HOLD THE OPTION KEY DOWN WHEN THE SYSTEM AUTO REBOOTS.*** Now I have done this two different ways.  Ive booted to the Windows DVD and formatted the bootcamp partition and not installed a new OS which formats it NTFS.  Ive also skipped this step and booted straight to GPART CD as well.  I suspect its not necessary to format because when we use GPART to copy the old Windows OS to our new bootcamp partition it takes on the format of the copied partition anyway so why bother. I ejected the Windows installation DVD and swapped for the GPART CD and continued the boot of the CD.  With GPART booted it should show your new hdd and old hdd so long as both are still attached to your system.  If you forgot just connect and under Gparted select rescan.  Notice the far upper right drop down to select drives.  Now to distinguish which drive is which the /dev/sda is your onboard hdd and /dev/sdb should be your external.  Another way is your new hdd will say BOOTCAMP (FAT32).  Your external or old hdd should say either BOOTCAMP (NTFS) or what ever name you modified the volume name to.  Mine was Win8Pro.


      22. Select your external or old hdd.


      23. Select your bootcamp partition than the copy button.


      24. Now change back to your new hdd and select the FAT32 BOOTCAMP partition.  The paste button should become available and select.



      25. It should warn you about this action.  It should be on /dev/sda4. OK.



      26. Select Apply.


      27. Another warning. Apply.


      28. Working.  Could take some time.




      29. Once completed, reboot holding the option key and boot to OSX.  The Windows partition shouldnt appear here.  We need to modify the hybrid MBR.  You should see after booting into OSX the Windows drive and its contents though.



      30. Now a decided to look at my partitions.  #1 is the EFI boot.  #2 is my OSX.  #3 is my Recovery.  #4 is Windows bootcamp.  Notice the differences in size.  The other thing I noticed was the * was on the OSX #2 and not on the Windows #4 under the fdisk command.  This is where printing out the old hdd setting is nice to see the difference.

      old hdd

       31. Time to install rEFIt. http://refit.sourceforge.net/  To install right click on the rEFIt.mpkg and open.  You might have to reboot twice for rEFIt to show.  You will notice the Windows boot icon starts to show. 


      32. If you try to boot Windows right now youll get the Recovery blue screen.



      33. Reboot into OSX.  Time to make the hybrid MBR right again.  Open terminal.  Enter the following commands and see the images below.  We need to get the hybrid MBR like our old hdd.  This is how to do this.

      sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
      r
      h
      2 3 4
      y
      <enter>
      n
      <enter>
      n
      <enter>
      y
      o
      w
      y
      sudo fdisk /dev/disk0

      gdisk = allows us to modify the GUID partition.  Since Windows requires an MBR which GPTs dont use and only have them for legacy purposes we have to fix it.
      r = recovery and transformation options
      h = make hybrid MBR
      2 3 4 (Thats the number 2 space 3 space 4 <enter>) = modifying those three partitions
      y = EFI needs to be first
      <enter> = select the default because thats the way our original partition was
      n = the bootable flag was not set in our original
      <enter> = select the default because thats the way our original partition was
      n = the bootable flag was not set in our original
      <enter> = select the default because thats the way our original partition was
      y = because the bootable flag was set in our original
      o = print protective MBR data
      w = write table to disk and exit
      y = confirm
      34. Now your systems hybrid MBR is fixed.  Oh but wait theres more. This is where the Win7 Repair CD comes into play.  Again the only thing I modified using UltraISO was the name of the bootfix.bin file.  I renamed it "autoboot_bootfix.bin".  Insert the CD in your MAC and reboot.  Hold option and select the CD to boot from.


      35. Windows repair CD should load.  It should also prompt that your Windows install is corrupt.  If you select details it will let you know what its changing.  Select Repair and reboot.  This will be quick so be fast with the option key and attempt to boot Windows now.


      36. Thats it.  After booting it might ask to reboot.


      37. If your not a fan of rEFIt you can always remove.  http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s3_remove.html

      Hope this works for you...
