  Thank you very much.

  Hello Stefen

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD disk drive. It is not supported in the BIOS.

  I'm not sure of the USB but I saw a short period in the electronic store that memory USB sticks with description Bootable. I have one and I can't give you a good answer to your question.

  Good luck!

• Qosmio F60 - 14K - can't boot from SSD drive

  Hello

  Im trying to install a new SSD, but can't, because I can't boot from SSD disk, "Insert a system startup disk" works great as a USB key, even installed Windows 7 top and tried to boot from it, but with a bit of luck.

  I have not tried to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that, because I don't have this option in BIOS. I think I've tried everything I can test, all the tips/help would be much appreciated!

  And so the part of the BIOS by joke to call bios all you can change the settings of the clock and the bootorder more or less!
  Anywhy for more options?

  Hey Buddy,

  I'm a little confused about your ad m... You wrote that you have installed Windows 7 on it, but you can t boot?
  You get an error message during installation or what exactly is going on?

  Have you ever tried to restore the factory settings of the recovery on new SSD disk?

  Hmm I put t know what BIOS options you want but I think Qosmio F60 BIOS has enough options.
  Normally with the BIOS default settings everything works fine.

• How Boot from hard drive

• I can add on a hard drive to my Dell Dimension 8200

  I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with a 100 GB ATA / hard disk, it is full and I have only 4 GB of free space. There intel9R0 4 CPU 1.70 GHz, running windows XP Home Edition. I would like to add a 500 GB hard drive, can I just add this hard drive as a #2 as a normal drive.

  Yes, if you install 2nd disk after formatting it will appear as another drive in 'My computer' and you can move files to free up space on your primary drive.

  In addition, you can install the new drive, clone the old drive him (several disks are delivered with the software or you can download it from the Web site of the manufacture) and then delete the old drive... just a matter of what you prefer, option 1 is easier.

  Keep in mind there are two types of hard drives: EIDE (or "parallel ata") is the oldest type, the cable is 40 pins of a connector that is about 3 inches wide. Newer drives are SATA ("Serial ATA") with a connector 4 pins which is about 0.75 inches wide. On the top of my head I do not remember if Dell Dim 8200 SATA or not, but I think. Worst case if you do not find an EIDE drive and your computer does not have a SATA connector, you can add a PCI card that will add. Some of these cards may not allow to boot from it so you should keep your installed current 100 GB drive for the installation to work.

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

  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.

• How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

  How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

  You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
  first push.

  How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
  motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
  BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
  the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
  for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
  There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
  your system documentation or check with your provider.

• Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hello

  Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

  It s already installed when you plug it in.

  See you soon

• Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

  Hello
  I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

  I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Concerning
  Norbert Ruessmann

  Hello

  A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

  I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

  Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

  Hi n m,

  Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

  I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

  You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

  Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

  Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

• Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

  I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
  Please, help me!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
  If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
  A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

  You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

  Check this back and forth!

  Good luck

• Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external USB optical drive

  Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

  The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console.  Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?

  Yes, there is a way to do this.

  I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
  (Note: my version of BIOS is A08)

  1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
  2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
  3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
  4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).
  5. When you see the Dell logo, start typing on the F12 key (the lower right corner shows the option press the F12 key to choose single startup options)
  6. now start choosing appear with many options to choose from, including my CD/DVD drive.

  Hope it will be useful to you.
