Boot device order

I was running my brand new HP Pavilion p6270z desktop, pre installed Win7 Home Premium Build 7600 a month now and I really enjoy it.  FYI I also seem to have shipped a SATA RAID (AMD - Compatible AHCI) controller.  I know absolutely nothing about controllers RAID BTW.   My HARD drive is a SCSI Seagate 500 GB ST 3500 418AS.

Shortly after obtaining my Windows accounts set up and all my security software installed, I sat down and made my HP (3) recovery disks to restore the factory settings.  Also did a C: backup using Windows backup.  Do a repair disc and a system of Coimplete Image using Image of Win7 system functionality.  If at this point, I feel good to be able to get right on the fun part... surfing the net. And it has been good sailboat, I admit it.  Love Win7!

But... today I went to the configuration of the Bios just to take note of the factory settings and discovered something I found odd.  The Scan shows 1 ST Boot Device boot screen is HP DVD-RAM GH40L.  It shows 2nd Boot device = disk HARD ST3500 418AS.    I noticed a noise from the DVD player to each start upward, but since this is my first comjputer HP, I didn't it was necessarily a problem.  When I saw the Bios boot screen, I see the pc tries to boot from the DVD drive and then past to C: to initialize.  Isn't is supposed to be the other way around?  Technology of factory making my installs SW has failed to hand over to C: before shipping?

Question: Should I put it to boot C: to avoid problems in the future?   FWIW the pc starts quickly and without error messages either.   Or do I have to follow the old adage: if it ain't broke, leave it alone!

Question:  If your response indicates that I should put it to start on C:, it basically denies my being able to use all of the repair, recovery and system image disc, I did and I have to make new discs due to the boot order back to C:?

Your CD/DVD is the first boot device. This way you can put in a boot disk and the PC it will start up without intervention.

You don't have to change your HP recovery disks, even if you decide to change your boot order.  You can change the boot order in the bios.

Alternatively, you can hit the ESC key on the blue HP screen to choose the boot device.

    I have a HP Pavilion a1200y desktop computer and try to reinstall Windows.  Trying to change the boot device order so my DVD first boots, I find that there is just no devices not listed in the BIOS under boot order... not even my 'C' drive  How can I change the boot order to the DVD player, first boots?

    Hello:

    You should be able to get the DVD player to start by starting the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to start the start time menu.

  • Boot Camp "no boot device."

    My bootcamp partition does not appear in start mode of drive, when starting all holding the key down option .

    Although it appears in disk utility and boot disk.

    When by selecting it from the startup disk, it starts and I get the "error no boot device."

    I tried some other questions similar to this, and I have seen some using gdisk, but I'm not familiar with this package (but I have not installed) and do not want to go to juggle with the MBR or GPT without proper guidance.

    Hey Buddy,

    This error message means that an incorrect boot order is set and the computer tries to start between LAN port to the internal HARD disk space. It should therefore go into BIOS setup and change the boot order. Put the HARD drive as the first boot device internal.

    I have now repeatedly received the error message "Reboot and select proper boot device."

    I tried the F12 approach to , but my Start Menu does not have this option.

    I'm frustrated that the new laptop played if bad, given that I have had Toshiba devices for about 10 years.
    In addition, I am disappointed that potentially serious consequences to remove the drive were clearly deprecated for me, before you start.

    Please give us a solution.

    I seem to have accidentally deleted the data on the disk.

    Obviously the HARD drive recovery procedure is not possible now because the HARD drive recovery files have been deleted.

    I guess you have not created such recovery media as recommended in the user's manual.

    Well, in this case, you have a chance to order a missing middle of recovery and recover the laptop to factory condition.

    Means of recovery can be ordered here:

  • Satellite L50-B-1E2 - no boot device

    Hello!

    When I turn on my laptop I get the message "" No bootable device - please reboot '. " Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    The message indicates that your laptop can not find boot device.
    This means that it cannot boot the system from the HARD disk.

    Question: Your HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
    Switch on and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
    On the first page of the BIOS, you should see the details of the disk (size, name)
    Who do you see?

    Also I recommend you to check the startup control device.
    HARD drive is set as the first boot device?

    Last but not least check options: secure boot and UEFI mode
    These two options should be activated in case you use Win 8.1
    In order to use the other system or to boot from other devices, you will need to disable secure boot

  • Satellite C55: error - no boot device

    My laptop showing No. BOOTABLE DEVICE - insert the diskette of starting, and then press any key

    I do not have any disk how do I fix this

    Hi Renji

    Of course, no boot device (typically the HARD drive) can be found and so the laptop asks to insert media to boot the system.

    End most of the cases this message appears if the internal HARD drive is defective, and no system located on the HARD disk... it would be also possible that the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS.

    That's why I recommend you to check the BIOS (first page).
    Usually, HARD drive should appear on the first page of the BIOS, and you should see some HDD details such as size of HARD drive or the HARD drive name.

    If the HARD drive does not appear, you will need to replace the HARD drive and retrieve the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    You said that you do not have the installation diskettes... Well for me it means that you have not created the recovery disc in the past...
    It was a big mistake; However, you can order the CD here:

    Hey Buddy,

    > I don't know that it is a hardware problem
    If you think so, why n t contact you authorized service provider?

    > no boot device - insert book and press a key.
    Have you checked that the correct boot order is set?
    The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

    Well, maybe just the Windows installation is confused upward. Therefore, you need to reinstall Windows.

  • Satellite L655 - no boot device

    Earlier today, I bought a brand new Satellite L655 - 1 DM. It is not a BONE, so I tried to install a Windows 7. However, as I start the laptop after the initial Toshiba screen I get the following:

    Check the connection of the cable!
    PXE - MOF: Exit Intel PXE ROM.
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    Certainly, I am a complete newbie laptop because it is the first laptop I have ever bought, but I'm doing something wrong? I put the Windows 7 DVD in, start the laptop and I get this message. Is there anything else I should do, or a sort of setting I should change so that it works? I did a search on google for a solution but could not find one. Can someone help me?

    Hey,.

    It is generally only related to an incorrect boot order.

    If you start your laptop go in the BIOS boot menu. So press the F12 key. Then place the Windows 7 disc, then select CD/DVD drive as a boot device. Now, the computer will begin with installing Windows, then follow the instructions on the screen.

    Check this box!

  • HP Envy 15 t-as000: brand new HP Envy w / SSD: "Boot Device not found".

    Hello

    I have a brand new (less than 1 week) HP Envy 15 t-as000 w / a 256 GB SSD.  After the impeccable behavior for 1 week, the laptop can be started is no longer.  No boot device is detected.  If I try to run a diagnostic on the hard disk, the BIOS I was informed that it can not detect even a current hard drive (see image)

    I don't know what happened.  I'm very careful with my machines.  He has not been abandoned. It has not been dropped on, or taken any sort of somehow.  I just pressed the power button one day (yesterday) and I see this:

    Thanks for the tips. I followed your recommendations and sent the laptop to HP for replacement (I bought this unit directly to the output from the HP website).

    However, I am frustrated because after all taxes and transportation costs, I had to pay an additional amount of $10.  The total general of the replacement order was $739,79 against $730,90 for the original purchase.  Why am I penalized $ 10 ($8,89 to be exact) for a mistake that was not even my fault?

    Also, I had to pay $24,83 FedEx packaging to send the laptop back.  How was I supposed to know I should have brought the Moose with me to Seattle, WA in Ithaca, NY packaging because the SSD was going to fail in my college dorm?

    So in the end, my HP Envy $730,90 now goes to the identical replacement of cost unit $739,79 + packaging from FedEx $24,83 phone = $ 764,62.

    Bottom line: screw - up HP cost me $33,72!  Not the end of the world but still a ringing sound nice when you're not yet a career with a cushy salary of mickael elite.

    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (dm3-1040us) with a bad hard drive.

    This PC was originally Windows 7 64 bit

    I'm getting ' no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any. "

    I replaced the hard drive failed (WD3200BEKT-60F3T1) with a Hitachi Travelstar 500 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache.   I understand that further drive hard should not be a problem.

    I bought Windows 7 HP 64-bit recovery discs.

    This laptop does not have a built-in CD drive so I have an external DVD ROM drive.

    I changed the configuration of system (using F10): Startup Options to activate startup disk; Boot order for the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first

    I'm referencing Performaning from HP a web page of HP System Recovery (Windows 7): http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418

    I use the instructions of "recovery discs recovery."  When you start the computer, I hit the escape by following the instructions to get the Boot Menu.   I press F9 - Boot Device Optons and select the CD/DVD drive (eTDU108 slymtype 1)

    After selecting this committed the DVD-ROM drive, but I get this error - "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  Because it was not clear on what disc use first of all, I tried with the System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Hom Premium (disc 1 of 2) and the Application and driver recovery CD.   I get the same error with both.

    Hi all

    I just wanted to know all that I managed to get my external DVD ROM drive to read the 'System Recovery DVD Windows 7 Hom Premium' disk 1 of 2 that I bought at HP (with 2 disk and the disk "Application and Driver Recovery CD" supplement.
