Can not selct ODD boot drive in Bios on Equim M70

Weird problem. I have an Equim M70 and I just bought a new 160 GB HD for her. After installing it I tried to boot from the cd/dvd to reinstall the old disk image, but I received a messagesPX error number? exe and it wouldn't recognize the CD dirve.

I started and entered the Bios to set the boot from CD/DVD, but he wouldn't let me select and instead of a * + * option on selected disc look, he had a *! * and it wouldn't let me select the boot from CD/DVD.

I put the original HD (vista) and it ran OK.

Can I do something to select boot from cd or do I have to update the BIOS, and if so how do you do that with no floppy drive?

Any help would be appreciated

Hello

Maybe the new drive carrier HARD doesn t the right parameters for master/slave/c-salt and it locks the internal CD/DVD drive.
You should know that all devices (HARD drive or / and ODD) are on c - salt. If these settings are not good as then the BIOS does not recognize the device correctly!

Also I don't know if the 160 GB HARD drive is compatible with your laptop from Mr. usually, the BIOS doesn't support any size of HARD drive and in my opinion the size of 160 GB HARD drive may be unsupported.
I recommend buying a HDD of 80 GB to 100 GB.

Good bye

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Put the computer to boot and see if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: follow step 7 to reset the computer to start as usual after the boot process.

  • Historical files can not find my USB drive.

    I think I should have created this problem myself by removing something that I wouldn't on 19/04/15. That said I think I should be able to have the file history find my USB hard drive. I have uninstalled & reinstalled the drive several times, tried different ports several times, I have set all permissions for all users and restarted after each step. I made sure the computer see the drive in devices under USB devices and readers. I formatted the drive and can drag and drop to and from the drive. I plugged in a flash drive and run the history file to it and worked until he ran out of memory. When I try to run the history file it looks like for the flash player and I said need to plug in, I choose select drive and it rises, "no usable disc found", I don't understand how historical files can not find my USB drive when all other aspects of Windows 8.1 can. I spent enough hours for the moment that in failure.

  • Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

    I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

    Do you mean you see a message like this?

    Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running. Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

    If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

    Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

    You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

    Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

    Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

    When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

    Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

    Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

    You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

    Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

    The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

    The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

    If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

    If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

    If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

    If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • my laptop can not get the boot device

    When I turn on my old laptop, it goes to bios and saying: no boot device available strike f1 to not to retry boot, f2 configuration utility, no other options. all get any idea for this problem thx allllllllllllllllll

    Hi isaaq,.

    It may be a loose cable connection or the drive may have failed.

    Since it is a laptop, the support option are limited.

    Depending on the age of the PC, you can contact the manufacturer to see if there is a diagnostic program.

    According to the OEM, your recovery disc can have a method of repair installation if it is not hardware fault.

  • Can not enter the parameters of the BIOS on my Qosmio F30-112

    Dear lovers of Qosmio,

    Since I have updated Bios version 3.60 - winning, I'm not able to access my BIOS. I turn on my laptop while pressing ESC I get SYSTEM CHECK. Press [F1] to enter the bios. I press F1 , nothing happens, I pressed it several times the same thing. It's not like my Qsomio f30 - 112 made problems or anything else I want to be able to access my bios, who knows.

    Can you please help. by the way I tried 100 times > _

    Dear Hamid is very strange and at the same time stupid situation. I don't really know what the problem is here. Computers laptop Toshiba usually have 2 different BIOS versions. One is defined as Toshiba BIOS and secondly is Phoenix BIOS. Your Qosmio definitely has this version of the Toshiba BIOS and you can enter the BIOS settings using the keys F1 ESC.

    If possible try to call the service authorized in your country. If you can not enter the BIOS settings you need of some explanation expertise. If you will get some info useful please share it with us.

    First of all, you can install all possible OS on your P305.
    It true s that the P305 has been pre-installed with the Vista operating system, but of course, you will be able to use other OS like Win XP

    Why you n t check the European driver Toshiba page and choose the show Satellite P300. It of similar to the Satellite P305 (U.S. series) and you'll find the Conexant audio driver!
