Boot from CD/DVD with UEFI

I found an article very useful Dell here:

www.dell.com/.../en .

It works fine on my new laptop Dell Inspiron, but I would like to know if it works on any PC with UEFI or just Dells.  The part that says add this to the boot sequence:

Example: ' PciRoot (0 x 0) / (0x1F, 0 x 2) Pci / Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) / CD " in particular makes me wonder.  Anyone know?  TIA

No such thing as the bios all providers of all versions always matching and work forever.

PciRoot (0x0) / (0x1F, 0 x 2) Pci / Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) / CD is that specific model dell.

Secure Boot works with 64-bit media and only 8, 8.1, or 10, or Ubuntu 12.04.5.

F12 Boot Win7 requires CSM and Legacy Boot.   Grub in MBR BACK startup is not available TPG only boot with WIN7 64 bit.  16 and 32 bits of software DO NOT and DO WILL never start.

  • under win8.1, how to boot from a dvd using UEFI on a hp 700-109 c desire?

    I installed a Kingston ssd 120 GB in the 700-109 c and you want to use clone drive ACRONIS to reduce proportionally the 2T dirve to the win8.1 120 GB and boot from there.  I can't activate the legacy in BIOS support because the software warns UEFI to boot from the disk of destination after the migration, must be enabled before we start the cloning process.   However, I am not able to boot from the dvd Kingston (ACRONIS) with secure boot UEFI active.  How do I proceed?

    Hello

    Cloning of the HD under Windows 8 is sometimes problematic. You must disable Secure Boot and turn on legacy mode. Your PC should reboot. I can boot Windows 8 as well in Legacy and UEFI mode with my HP laptop that the use of Windows 8.

    As a side note, usually with UEFI, you will need to insert the CD, and then the PC power cycle for UEFI to recognize an eligible UEFI device such as a CD or USB flash.

    A problem you will encounter is that the bootloader of Windows 8 will demonstrate to the sata hard drive after the clone so it does not start. Another possible cause is that the HP recovery partition is not going to work. Don't forget that you have a set of HP recovery or USB flash drives.

    Paragon makes one a great migration and cloning for windows8 utility which also contains a boot corrector function to manage the windows bootloader question. It is 8.1 compatible window is available for $12.   There is even a video available.

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.

    I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

  • Booting from CD/DVD

    Hi all, I have problems with my HP Pavilion g6-2390sa Windows 8, I am trying to boot from a DVD of windows 7.

    I activated the CDROM boot, options of the legacy also and the DVD/CD internal as primary boot device in the options of the efi and the legacy.

    When I boot the system I press the F9 key to selection of the boot device, but the CD/DVD drive is not listed?

    Internal DVD/CD was registered mysteriously once but since I restarted it is no longer present in the list of boot devices, and I did not change between the two BIOS?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, btw the DVD player works perfectly under windows 8 and I have bootable media in the drive.

    Thanks in advance G

    Hello:

    That's what I'd do...

    It seems that you have changed the BIOS settings to boot from a dvd according to the link below... but it does not hurt to take another look on this.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

    What I would do, is to download the W7 ISO from the link below - DL version of W7 that sits on your DVD, the ISO Microsoft USB tool allows you to set the ISO to a flash drive, see if you can boot from the flash drive and use the product key from your DVD.  For this, you will need a 4 GB or more large USB flash drive.

    If your laptop has UEFI, remember that your linux is x 64 version and compatible UEFI.

    You can also try turn on the F12 on the BIOS menu:

    Press F2 at startup

    look for F12 boot menu and it helped

    Press F10 to save and exit

    at the next startup, press F12 and choose the DVD as boot device

  • Cannot install the boot from the DVD - OEM of Windows 7 (full)

    Generally, I am able to reset the priority of readers, so a computer will boot from a DVD.  It's my first time on Win7 and I can't make it work.  Insert the disc in Windows (XP currently installed - 'not real') indicates the drive is not compatible with this version of Windows.  I thought that booting from the DVD would help, but I'm prompted to "press any key to boot from the CD/DVD" and every time he ignores me and goes backward to boot from the XP/hard drive.

    At this point, I tried to affect the CD/DVD drive that all the priorities, not only the first condition.  I tried to use the other DVD player because there is another - still no luck.  Isn't this updated software in place to work this way?  It should be bootable, no?

    Thanks for any help...

    Here's a question I would ask. Your computer is 64-bit compatible? If it isn't, it's probably one of the reasons why you would receive this error message. Please run the Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is ready for 64-bit.

    When I press F1, I get the 1.5 version of BIOS ACPI boot menu, but I can't change date, time and the password. The boot priority is HDD-> FDD-> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 during initialization, but this has no effect. Even by pressing the 'c' key, the disc does not start.

    I tried to put the hard drive in a laptop and install there, but detects the Windows installation disc, that's not Toshiba laptop.

    No idea how to fix?

    Hi Napto,

    The CD/DVD drive is correctly listed in the BIOS? You see the model number of your player? Usually, this should be possible

    And what installation disc, you are starting? You use Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?

    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.

  • Boot from USB or DVD with UEFI bios upgrade

    Hello

    I have an Alienware Aurora R4. I am trying to upgrade the BIOS A03 to A05. My system uses the UEFI boot loader. I have problems starting in anything except through the windows.

    I tried to make a bootable USB flash drive with both the HP disk storage format tool and Rufus using the win98 and FreeDOS as the operating system. The bootable flash drive is recognized when I do F12 and I chose to start. It goes straight into windows.

    I tried to boot from the drivers and utilities disk and once again, he is going directly into windows.

    In my BIOS, I value UEFI then CD/DVD the HD device boot order and still it doesn't start from one of these devices.

    Is it possible either due to UEFI? If I understand correctly this is a 64-bit application and will not recognize any OS 32-bit like BACK. Is this true?

    What I have to go into the BIOS and change it for a legacy instead of EUFI start-up and if I do this will I have no problem starting after I do the upgrade of BIOS and return to EUFI?

    Thank you

    Mike

    I think that you have solved your problem.  If you need boot from a USB device, it will boot UEFI information appropriate unless your BIOS has an option to return to the start-up inherited automatically.

    Updated the BIOS normally resets the configuration to the default configuration for the computer.  If you are unable to update the BIOS, you will need to look through the BIOS configuration page to ensure that your settings are correct.  I would not be surprised if the first parameter you have to do to come back to the UEFI boot mode.

  • Cannot boot from CD - DVD in LEGACY mode - NO Secure Boot UEFI NOT

    You just bought an Optiplex 7010 minitower with Win 8 Pro 64 - bit, 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB HDD and an Intel i5 processor 3470.  Now he has BIOS version A16.

    It is normally ON UEFI and Secure Boot on IT and F12 at startup does NOT normally display the CD-DVD as a boot option.  OK - no problem.

    However, if I reboot with F12 and select UEFI OFF (meaning WE legacy) and Secure Boot SHUTDOWN and reboot, then F12 DON'T show me the CD - DVD as a startup option, but if I actually try to boot from a bootable CD, I get an error message.

    I practiced with two CD bootable - a Knoppix I did on a XP machine an Aomei Backupper I did on a Win 7 machine.  These CD working as in my old XP machine boot CD, and the CD of Backupper of Aomei worked someone else machine Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

    What's wrong?

    Again, please let me repeat that I am trying to boot from the CD-DVD AFTER I have turned OFF UEFI, turned on the legacy and off Secure Boot.

    Thank you.

    Speed - although you predicted, I am amazed at what I did today.

    I bought a second hard drive (in white) and installed Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 on it.  (I unplugged the first hard drive which has my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  (Later to figure out how to dual-boot - no not yet for that.)

    What struck me is that I have installed SP1 for Win 7 Pro 64-bit while my BIOS is UEFI - it's ON UEFI and Secure Boot off.  (Enable Legacy ROM is enabled.)  BIOS is the Windows Boot Manager.  The Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 DVD ran perfectly on my CD - DVD unit - no problems of any kind.  The machine has restarted several times, as I adjusted it settings and added the resource of Dell Media CD drivers.

    Disk Management displays only two partitions - a little with the legend "Healthy (EFI System Partition)" and then my C:\ drive, which is indicated be NTFS and 'in good condition (boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition).  The properties for the entire drive 0 said "Partition Style: GUID Partition Table (GPT).

    Now - is it good or bad?  If one day I try to dual-boot, what is incompatible with the four partitions on my hard drive to win 8 (now offline)?  Install this fake Win 7?

    I'm even more amazed than the Win 7 Pro 64 - bit auto installed SP1 with a product key that is different from the product key for my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  The Dell OEM Windows 7 installation disc done by himself - I don't have to enter anything.  Which is good news for a future dual-boot, Yes?

    I have NOT yet connected to the internet.

    Now, when I unplugged my hard drive of origin WIn 8, I disconnected the Sata data cable and used for the new hard drive Win 7 added.  If the new hard drive is connected to data SATA motherboard even as the drive of origin 8 Win.  Well, at some point when I use two hard drives, one of them should be connected to another plug SATA on the MB - but not yet.

    Well... How do I fortunately to this stage so far?

  • Pavilion TouchSmart PC 20-f323, how to boot from a DVD?

    However, my first question is, how to start my Windows 7 Pro DVD on the TouchSmart PC?  I can not even find a boot menu option to start from the DVD drive.

    All other URL on this upgrade process below would be appreciated!

    I thank very you much for your time.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You can buy a new copy of Windows 7 with a valid COA and the product key.

    The screenshots below is from a notebook HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment... Download AMD Chipset Drivers (Chipset / AHCI / USB 3.0)

    (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

    (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  • Pascal boot from a DVD on my Satellite P100

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100. I want to boot on a DVD. When the computer starts, the screen goes from black to the Welcome to windows screen, and there is no message that indicates which key to press to access the boot menu. I tried to press F2 or F12, but if I do the screen remains black and that windows won't even start. F1 or F10 or del have no effect. ESC for 5 seconds, either.

    A few weeks ago (I did not any changes in bios or anything like that, what I did is updated on windows), I had a white line that says press key (F12), but now this is not more. I don't even have the toshiba logo.

    I flashed the BIOS with the latest update, with no result.

    Edit: I have new intel: since the problem seems to come from the screen (some keys (F2, F12) 'work' in the sense it does something special, rather than just logging on to windows and this unusual thing they do is to make the screen stay black - as if the screen wasn't turned on yet, but the computer was waiting for a response from the user) I tried to connect my laptop to another screen. I have counfounded the vga cable ends and ends by connecting my laptop to a desktop instead of his screen. The result of this was rather strange: when my laptop is connected to a desktop computer, the laptop screen is lit normally, and I see the toshiba logo and the boot/bios menu shortcuts. Other that taking the power of the display, the connection had obviously no effect: I don't see the content of the desktop on my laptop, I just saw my laptop because I usually do, and it's because the vga port is usually intended to be connected to another screen and not to another computer.

    So what do you think about this experience, which is certainly interesting, and you now see what could be my problem and so how to fix?

    Thank you.

    PS: If you have more questions/details, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Hello John

    To be honest, I wish I had your laptop in front of me and see exactly what is happening.
    Is that this message be down occurs when the cell is on a regular basis down. If the laptop wakes mode sleep or hibernation, this message will not appear.

    So I m pretty confused with all this and can not understand what is happening exactly.
    When the operating system is loaded click please Windows Start button and choose the option closed and don't forget the laptop shut down correctly
