• boot from the disk HARD second 4540 probook s

  Hello

  I replaced the optical drive with a second HDD on 4540 ProBook s. I read of this 2nd HARD drive but I could not configure BIOS to boot from it, and boot device options lists only the first HARD drive.

  It's pretty common. Simply because the BIOS is written to boot from an optical drive connected to this port does not mean that he will start on a hard drive. I don't think there's any way to boot from the hard drive adapter in the optical Bay.

  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.

• Can I set up my HP dv7-4165dx to boot from the second hard drive?

  I got a HP dv7-4165dx for about 20 months now. Ten months in the original hard drive burned due to setting up directly under the GPU (lower left corner, to the left of the touchpad and under the keys), which gets quite hot on the top to make your uncomfortable hand. Symptoms include blue screens, troubled during start-ups, as well as a message from the system at boot that said the car was damaged. As it was under warranty, I brought it to Best Buy to get the drive replaced, which took about 2.5 months.

  Now, about 20 months, I face at the beginning of the exact same symptoms. I noticed that there was a second HDD Bay, away from the GPU, so I bought the yarn necessary to the use of this Bay. Now, he tells me that there is no installed boot drive (the hard drive test in the system diagnostics, knows that it is there). I'm sure that I can swap the drive towards the original Bay and be fine but that puts me $ 75 for the HP kit (Yes, I know I might have to eat that, if there is no way), but much more importantly, this means that I will have an another burned (losing everything, even once) by car a month or two.

  I looked, but I can't seem to find a way to tell it boot from that drive. Is it possible, or am I just out of the eye due to bad design? It has been a great machine, except for this problem.

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no option to boot from the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay in one of the series dv7 - sorry for the bad news.

  Best regards

• Pavilion p6 2408eb Desktop PC: cannot access the bios to boot from the disk

  Hello

  I have virus and spyware on my PC. I want to reinstall my drive c with windows 7 instead of 8.1 or at least perform a system recovery, but I can't boot from the drive.

  The only items on google I can find state I must disable secure boot and then enter the bios to set the boot order so it starts on the first disc.

  The problem is that my monitor is idle (power light flashes) when I try to enter the BIOS. I tried to type esc/f11/f1 or press del to enter bios but my monitor then is idle and never enters the BIOS or go to the windows start screen. If it recognizes clearly that I typed bios key because he won't go to the windows startup screen after that pressing said key.

  I also tried recovery windows and tool HP system recovery but at a certain point, it asks me to restart the pc and here again he is stuck at the idle monitor... I never see the start-up of the screen or the other, one that says "press x to enter the bios. My computer will always directly to the windows splash screen once I started.

  Any idea what I might try next?

  Hello

  Consult this publication article before attempting the downgrade of your PC to Windows 7. I have no recommemd making a downgrade on Windows 8 is superior to Windows 7.

  The default settings for the BIOS of your PC 8 version are: inherited and secure boot disabled.

  Erasing the CMOS memory will bring back the default values and then you should be able to start the Windows 7 installation media.

  This similar model PC will have Windows 7 drivers.

  If you have not created the external HP recovery media then you must order at HP if you decide to go back to Windows 8.

• Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

  Equium A100-549

  My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

  I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

  While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

  Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

  Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
  Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

  Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

  Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

  Any info / help much appreciated

  Hello Nick

  Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

  If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.

• No option to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM in the BIOS

  Hi all

  I was pleased to receive my computer H8-1485EA this week!

  I entered the BIOS setup by (by pressing F10) to allow booting from a device of type CD. I changed the boot order so that my DVD SATA drive was the head of the list. When I tried to boot from a CD, I got a starting message startup security protection has been activated and prevented me to boot from the CD. I entered the BIOS again and disabled security start-up (by entering a code) and booted from the CD. Unfortunately the I was booting from a disk to answer stopped, so I ejected it.

  Some time later, I decided to reactivate security startup in the BIOS. I did it successfully, however, my SATA DVD drive has disappeared from my list of boot device. It is still detected by the BIOS and will appear in the Windows Device Manager. It is also absent from the startup list when I press F9 to start.

  All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  This may not apply to your case, but here goes: I about went crazy looking for the (HP Envy Phoenix) option in the UEFI BIOS to boot from my Blueray disc. I tried to put the Blueray disc to start first in the boot order, but I couldn't find that he listed in the BIOS. (My computer is 2 days old, straight from the factory. Reads Blueray disc under the operating system very well). Turns out I had to insert a floppy in the Blueray to energize, then restart the computer, then go into the BIOS and - magically - BIOS now showed my Blueray and I was able to boot from it.  (In the past I have configured all my computer equipment statically in the BIOS and it al showed there and he was.) I had never seen one * new * material option appears in the BIOS that did not previously exist. That is until I met the Phoenix BIOS)

  Hi Ted,

  You are welcome

  Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.

  Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.

  Save the changes and exit the bios.

  Follow the previous procedure below:

  Insert the bootable disc of Ophcrack and laptop stop.

  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

• can not boot from the CD

  I have a Dimension 8300 running XP Pro and I am trying to reformat the hard drive and reinstall XP.  I can't boot from the CD.  At startup after F12 and selected to boot from the CD, the sytem always starts on the hard drive. I changed the BIOS boot sequence, but still no luck.  The works of CD to read and write, but no boot from the OS disk.  Once the system boots from the hard drive I can start the CD of the OS that gives me the ability to reinstall XP, but no option to reformat.  My top disc is a DVD-ROM and the second disc is a CD - R.  I tried to boot from both drives, but the machine continues to boot from the hard drive.  Any suggestions?

  
  

• Need help please, bios sees the new hard drive but still cant boot from the cd-rom

  HI there, Im having some problems here. First of all, I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2 with BIOS A06. I replaced the original hard drive to 120 GB because I received a stop error code with a new 320 GB (000000 x 24 or somethinglike that) but after research I was convinced it was the reader. I installed the new drive and the BIOS sees it under drive as primary drive SATA configuration... It's good, I guess, but now when I go to the sequence of hard drive I get (1. Unknown device (not installed) 2. System BIOS 3 boot devices. (Not installed) USB device) why the drive is not displayed here?

  OK, so now when I try to boot from a CD-rom Home XP I get "strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility. I can't seem to get around this problem any time now. I can get it to boot from a floppy disk, but not the CD, why is this? The two CD-ROMs are appearing in the BIOS as second master and slaves. IM really stumped on this one, please help!

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

• NB510 - boot from the SD card?

  Hello

  I have a question related to booting from SD cards.
  As my NB510 has no optical device, I thought to use an SD with Linux on it to boot from.

  The reason is that sometimes I need Linux and I don't wan to lose my Windows partition or another partition of my HDD with a 2nd OS.

  My experience is that more than one OS at a disk always causes unnecessary trouble.
  Unfortunately, it seems that the NB510 does not boot from the SD card.

  I created it with the Toshiba SD Memory Format Utility and "UNetbootin" to create a card with the last OpenSUSE Linux.

  When, in from the laptop and press F2 (or F12), all available drives be filed - but not my SD card (Yes, it was inserted). BIOS Insyde H2O also doesn't seem to provide the SD card as boot drive.

  So is it possible to get my NB 510 booting from SD card?

  Greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  Why you boot from the USB flash key t n?
  As much as I know the NB510 support the start of disk HARD primary, Network (LAN), USB, USB HDD and USB WEIRD memory.

  If booting from USB is certainly possible.

• Re: Satellite C650D-12J refuses to boot from the recovery DVD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C650D-12J which has recently been ravaged by a virus and now refuses to start. Whenever he tries to boot into Windows, it restarts and blue screens.

  I ordered the Toshiba recovery media as the most simple solution is to recover the laptop and restore the default settings.

  However, when I insert the recovery DVD and choose to boot from the CD/DVD get them all is a loading bar that turns to a black screen with the white cursor. It's her!

  Can anyone suggest a solution?

  Hi MrChris,

  You have the same problem if you try to reinstall Microsoft Windows or just Toshiba Recovery disk?

• Satellite C650D is not booting from the CD

  My mother has a Toshiba Satellite C650D and password protect the hard disk. She forgot the HARD drive password today! I want to format the drive and reinstall Windows. I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive and I like it start I press F12, but it goes directly to the HARD drive password screen. I change the setting to prevent fast boot but still no change.

  The only way I can boot from the CD is to remove the HARD drive.

  Are there any other settings that I can change to make it boot from the CD?

• NB100 will not boot from the XP CD in the external USB CD/DVD drive

  I try to install XP Home in my NB100
  The netbook still refuses to boot from the XP CD. It's just not more
  Returns the current operating system (Ubuntu) or give the error "Could not find NTLDR" dreaded.
  And yet - it will boot from an Ubuntu Live CD disk perfectly fine, AND
  If I connect this external hard drive on my computer Windows 7, (another Toshiba
  Portable satellite) that the machine starts quite successfully since the XP CD
  in the same external drive!

  Can anyone throw any light on what is happening on Earth on?

  Hello

  There are various reasons why this error message:
  In most cases this error because the laptop is trying to boot from a HARD drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly. Maybe the drive is not bootable or not compatible.

  It would also be possible that some sectors on the HARD disk, HARD drive failures are corrupt or BIOS is damaged. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is damaged.

  In your case I recommend that you format the first HARD drive before booting from the hard drive CD7DVD external using Win XP CD.

  By the way: you must add SATA driver to CD Win XP using nLite.
  The SATA driver is placed on the European driver Toshiba page in the Intel Storage Manager

  The SATA driver is needed to recognize the HDD by Win XP!
