Aspire 5734Z does not start on DVD or USB

Similar Questions

• "No boot device, press a key." Unable to access BIOS. Does not start a DVD. USB not a startup option.

  How can I get into the BIOS or boot from a Live CD or the Windows installation disk?

  Here's the background info:

  Laptop: Acer TravelMate P273-MG-6608

  OS: Windows 8.1

  Actions leading to the problem:

  I tried to encrypt the drive using BitLocker.

  On reboot, I get the error message "no boot device, press a key."

  When I hit a button, I get a boot menu that lists the HARD drive, DVD player and optional network initialization.

  Booting from either the HARD drive (of course) or DVD does not work.

  The discs I've tried:

  Acer system restore disk

  Restore Win 7 disc

  UBCD

  Hiren

  Ubuntu installation (Saw elsewhere on this forum that worked for someone).

  Methods that tried to access the BIOS:

  Turn on/off the laptop while holding down the key F2.

  While tapping the F2 key about once per second.

  Same thing with the delete key.

  Same thing with F10.

  Same thing with Alt + F10

  Same thing with F8.

  Each method has tried several times without success.

  Action taken:

  Removed the HARD drive and connected to a work computer. In doing so, I was able to recover all my files.

  Player settings appeared to all be correct. Drive letter C:, file NTFS format, primary partition, the recovery partition was there as well.

  Re-inserted the original in the laptop HARD drive - without success.

  Formatted the primary partition on the HARD drive, put it in the laptop, the same results.

  Formatted the entire HARD drive, put it in the laptop, the same results.

  What I see as options:

  1. format the HARD drive outside Windows, for example using Hiren's Boot CD and Gparted.

  2. in so doing, and imaging of the player with a 8.1 for Windows or ISO 7, if I can find a.

  3. If I can get into the BIOS, I should be able to get the laptop to boot from something. Or disable UEFI, which I think is part of the question.

  Any ideas on how I can enter the BIOS or get the laptop to boot from the HARD disk or a floppy disk?

  Solved.

  I downloaded the required BIOS file of:

  http://global-download.Acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_2.08_A_A.zip?acerid=635114527449782829&S...

  Once downloaded, I extracted the files from the archive .zip.

  Then I low-level formatted a disk USB flash with the FAT32 file system.

  Once this is done, I copied the files from within the archive on the USB flash drive.

  With the USB stick inserted into the laptop, I turned on it while pressing ALT + ESC. This brough to the top of the screen where I choose to hit F2 for the program installation, or F12 for the boot menu.

  I pressed F2 and the BIOS came admin screen. Then I yelled something like ' Hallelujah! "

  I changed the MBR to the STRANGE device, put in the first disk to factory default retrieve and press F10 to save and exit the BIOS.

  The Acer splash screen went up, and the laptop booted into the recovery disc. It should work here.

  I hope this helps someone in the future.

• Satellite 1805-S204 - does not start a DVD

  Hi all
  I try to install Fedora 10 on my laptop, but it does not start on a dvd, it works from a cd but not dvd. Can I do to make it boot from dvd?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  First a question: have you checked if this oldie has a DVD player?
  I doubt that this then perhaps that this laptop has only a CD drive.
  Check it!

  If the laptop is a DVD player it of also possible to boot from the DVD.

• H8XT does not start a DVD player

  I recently bought a H8XT and I want to do a clean install of windows 7.  The DVD drive seems to work very well and I used it to create the recovery discs already.  However, when I try to boot from the DVD drive, the boot in the bios menu does not show the DVD player.  I t shows a generic drive called "ATAPI CD/DVD Drive.  Even when I try to choose that it does not start on the DVD, it always starts on the hard drive.  I have this research group and found a position with a similar problem to mine.  Here it is:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems/computer-won-t-boot-to-install-Windows-7-full...

  The solution for this post was to clear the CMOS.  However, my motherboard is not exactly like the one shown in this post, and I can't figure out how to clear the CMOS memory.  In the 'Clear the CMOS' link in figure 4, it shows 2 jumpers on the right side of the 6-pin.   In my system, 2 riders are on the left side 6 pins.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Thanks for the suggestions.   It turns out that when I burned an image of windows 7 on DVD, it does not burn properly and is not bootable.

• Satellite C660 does not start on disc or USB

  My Toshiba Satellite C660-DSC0QE app, BIOS version 1.80, will not start Windows more - it just goes to the dreaded black screen with white cursor.

  I tried a system Win 7 recovery disk, a USB with software from Kaspersky on her recovery and even a full Win 7 installation disc, and it does not start at one of them.

  The boot order is set correctly, (optical drive or USB port) devices are read, but their initialization never actually in them - there is an obscure error message, or it acts like they weren't there at all.

  The obvious answer to these forums seems to be disable secure boot mode and then switch the to the CSM UEFI boot mode. Easier said than done - the menu options don't exist at all in my BIOS/CMOS screens.

  Finally, I see no way in the instructions to get a BIOS update occur without being already in Windows on the PC - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm I'm assuming that the BIOS version 2.00 would have these options.

  Any help gratefully accepted!

  Hello

  I assumed that you have a white blinking cursor in the upper left corner.
  Is this correct?

  These symptoms appear where the system can not find a boot device (HARD drive) or memory problems (RAM module).

  First of all, you said that you have UEFI / CSM boot mode in the BIOS settings.
  So I m asking you what parameters of start mode appear in BIOS exactly?
  Find you these settings in the right area?
  Usually, you should have an area (tab) called security in the BIOS.
  In most cases, you will find a safe boot option, but the Satellite C660 does not support this option because it s too old.
  But the startup mode (UEFI /CSM) should be available in the BIOS. Check the settings in the BIOS of the system area

  Anyway, as I said above; It could also be a memory problem, so I recommend you to check if the memory is OK.

• SOLVED: Why don't Satellite 4090XCDT does not start with DVD-R/W drive?

  Hello
  as I said in the other thread that has already been closed, I bought a used Satellite phone who would not start of 3rd party DVD - RW (Quanta Storage SDW-042) included, even if Windows couldn't read well enough.

  I found out why, starting with the help of the user answers in the other thread.

  In the user manual, there is a description in the capitel on the configuration of the system about tconfig, which proved to be a valuable indication: HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) (...), CD = secondary IDE (170 H/IRQ15). Compared to my desktop, it seems to me that two readers need to be masters on no. 1 and no. 2 cable, not as master and slave on the same cable from HARD drive. So, my CD-ROM would probably be master.
  Then I did the research further into the issue and found out, that there is no CD-ROM where select things cable if they are master or slave. Then I found in
  http://www.dschen.de/laptop_brenner/ a note in his Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, seemed to be no Cable Select and his planned book on the CD (or DVD player, he wants to use) as a master.
  CSEL means that 47 Pin is connected to the Earth, which he did by applying a drop of Tin from Pin 47 to 49, pine, which is also Pin 47. I tried the same thing and disassembled the DVD drive that was in my notebook. (My record to disassemble my laptop and all editing again properly is now gone in 50 minutes). And know what, my Satellite 4090XCDT can now boot from the DVD-RW!

  To perform the task, I needed a screwdriver of the watchmaker to open the DVD RW (three live, then you need to insert a PIN to open the tray and see the back), a 12 Volt type iron pin solder for SMD and I ordered the strap of welding with a stereo microscope, so this task is not negligible. See the link mentioned to know what pins are bridged (sorry, the website is in German but the picture is clear: in the top row of pines, only you can see, the 2nd and the third from the right). And of course with a replacement part "scrap", you could give your laptop a second life, but you run a risk, because you may not know what you have, master or slave (for firmware or hardware), broken in any case, select cable - and one other Web site indicates that they looked up to 17 variants of firmware in exactly the same drive , depending on what laptop, it was intended for use.

  Nice display. Thank you very much.

• My Acer Aspire R14 does not start with the cord of the charger plugged in with the battery connected to

  A few weeks ago, my laptop Acer Aspire R14 went totally blank. When I unplugged the power cord, it started right to the top, but at the moment where I plugged the power cord back inside would be closed. The battery dies quickly in this way, because it would not charge. I removed the battery then it started upward with the power cord. I thought it must be the battery, so I installed a new battery. which is not to change the problem.

  So, I ordered a new motherboard and after a few weeks, I received it today, installed, and I have always the same thing. It works well with the power cord plugged in until the battery is disconnected. But at the time wherever I connect the battery, everything stops, not to be revived unless I disconnect the battery.

  I need help! What could be the problem?

  Glad I could help.

• Acer Aspire 5515 does not start

  Well, I have a 5515 Acer Aspire running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. It hasent been working lately (VISTA USUALLY START!). I have no idea what my BIOS password. In any case, I have a never used Windows Vista Ultimate not copy to level. Can I pop in my computer and without starting Vista, (re) install vista? PLEASE HELP ME! I'VE BEEN WITHOUT A COMPUTER FOR A MONTH! I HAD TO WRITE THIS ON MY IPHONE!

  If you have problems with BIOS password, you will need to contact Acer at the link above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can't get in your version of Vista has to do an upgrade, you need a license Ultimate FULL Vista to do a clean install, not an ultimate upgrade license.

  BUT you cannot change boot order if you have BIOS password problems.
  Contact Acer is the solution.
