    Please, help me!

    Hello

    You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
    If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
    A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

    You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

    Check this back and forth!

  • How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

    How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I boot from USB - Portege A200

    Hello

    I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

    In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

    Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

    The options I can think of are:
    (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
    (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
    (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

    If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

    I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thank you very much
    Mark

    Hello

    First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
    It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

    However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

    There are different reasons for this problem
    For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
    Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

    In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
    I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

    Good luck

  • HPE 410T: How can I boot from a MicroSD card?

    Hi I have a PC that goes over six years and would like to know how to start on a MicroSD card from office of 410t HPE. I am able to boot from a USB key by pressing and holding down the ESC key on startup to select the boot device and my USB flash drive appears in the list of bootable devices, but my microsd card does not appear in this list. Is there anyway that I can boot from the microSD on this computer? Thank you.

    bert6822

    Sorry, but you can start only off the coast of devices that appear in the selection of start menu.

    If it is not there, it can not be used at startup - and SD cards are a common problem in this regard.

    However, there is microSD adapters / USB (I have one of my cards), and if you don't find one of those, you might be able to start using a USB port.

    Hello

    Sometimes, as you have discovered, installing Windows 7 from a DVD can be a little difficult for various reasons. If you were able to boot from the Windows 7 DVD, then you did what you had to do.

    I highly recommend to use a support USB thumbdrive for fast and reliable Windows 7 installation. You will need a USB thumbdrive, which is 4 GB.

    You will need to create it with Microsoft on another PC that is running Windows 7 or 8 utiity. Download and run tool Windows 7 USB DVD Download from the Microsoft store.

    The download link and instructions is on the web page in the previous link. You will need your Microsoft Windows 7 DVD and license key (during the installation process of Windows 7).

  • Satellite 210CS: How can I boot from CD?

    Hello

    I found my old Satellite 210CS and I want to install Linux on it, but I can not find the floppy drive, I just got the drive of CD-ROM. I changed the boot options in the bios to FDD > HDD but its not not booting from the cd. Y at - it an update of the Bios to boot from CD?

    Hello

    He is a former. About 10 years ago.
    AFAIK this laptop has an own FDD (floppy) drive and the CD drive is swappable. (You can use both, but not together)
    I found information that the BIOS supports that one disc at the time and the CD-ROM drive is not bootable.
    If you change the settings in the BIOS for HARD drive FDD so first Notepad starts from the floppy drive, and then from drive hard, but not on the CD!

    However, the Toshiba doesn't support Linux and you get not all Toshiba for Linux drivers.
    But haven't found this page:

  • How to force boot from the CDROM on Satellite M40 183

    I have error in the MBR on the drive in my laptop, it doesent from disk, before I had put into hibernation system (Windows XP).

    Now, I can't force boot from the CDROM
    in the bios, CDROM is selected as first boot-> nothing
    on bootking, I am pressing end F12 choose CDROM icons-> notking
    on bootking by pressing 'c'-> notking

    and I have a problem:
    -system does not boot
    -recovery disk will not start, and I can't fix it :/

    I'm sure that the cd drive is right.

    I recognized before, makes this hibernation, it is imposible to boot from the cdrom

    but there must be a way to force anyway.

    Thanks for any help.

    Mateusz

    Hello Mateusz

    The hibernation mode cannot be responsible for this kind of question. I'm sure that this option is properly put to the test and if there is some sort of suspicion it won't be available more.
    If you have any problem with MBR, it can also be damaged by some kind of virus. As far as I know that the easiest way to repair or rebuild MBR is to run the standard Microsoft called FDISK utility with a parameter/MBR, as
    A:\ > FDISK. EXE/MBR
    FDISK is a standard utility included in MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98, me.

  • Can not boot from the CD to recover OS - Portege M200

    Hello

    I'm working on my Portege M200 friends that she bought used. Only, it came with an external USB CDROM drive and the laptop computer AC adapter. To make things better the HD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. I had a spare HD so I installed it and now the BIOS see the new HD, Yay!

    I also discovered that I could buy a replacement Toshiba system recovery CD, new Yay! But before I do that I wanted to make sure I could boot from the external CDROM drive. I plugged the CDROM drive and attempted to start on a spare windows xp CD. But it does not start on the CD. I made sure that the CD-rom drive has been first in the BIOS boot priority, but that doesn't seem to work.

    I read the other posts that mention the boot directly from the external CD-rom USB drive does not work and I have to boot to the CD-rom drive by plugging the CD-rom drive in a PCMCIA card. If I have to buy a PCMCIA card that has USB ports for connecting external USB CDROM drive in for I can boot from a CD?

    If there will be any brand/type of work? If this is not the case, what brand/type is known to work.
    Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

    BIOS of the portege recognise only a limited number of pcmcia-CD-disks

    in this thread you will find all the information you need:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=71179𑘋

    but your portege also boots most of the readers of usb_FDD; If you make a BACK-boot disk with the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM usb drive you can use it without restrictions bios

    as you can read that this method will work only in a DOS environment, that is why it is absolutely necessary to format your hard drive to fat32, otherwise it will not be recognized

    Last night a MS pushed a windows update and my pc restarted automatically.  But it does not actually restart.

    The PC goes through the bios tests, passes and then crashes and does not start in Vista.

    I can't start at all, including safe mode.

    I can't the system recovery option in HP bios to load.  Can I only use my Vista64 system recovery bootable cd or actually start.

    First of all, I thought it was a HARD drive problem, but tests of the bios disk hard that all spend, even the 2 hours 'SMART' test that he was running.
