• Portege Z830 - can't boot from DVD

  I have a Portege Z830-11F. I upgraded my machine to Windows 8 and but I didn't like it. So I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  I downloaded the file .iso on the internet and it was engraved on a DVD.
  I plugged in my external DVD drive, rebooted, entered in the BIOS and changed the boot order and restarted again.

  Everything went well and I was able to install Windows 7.
  But I didn't have the drivers, (thought the BONE would recognise the driver LAN at least, I was wrong)
  So I've upgraded to Windows 8 again (without restarting) just to download the drivers for Windows 7.

  I did, but now I can't boot from the DVD.
  When I enter the boot order section, sometimes the DVD is listed, sometimes not.

  In both cases, the machine starts with Windows 8 straightly, does not allow me to boot from the DVD.
  The strange thing is that I was able to start on the same DVD in the first place.

  What can I do to start from the DVD?

  At first, I must say that I n t understand why you didn't create recovery media before you changed something. Using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator you can create USB recovery and the whole situation would be not so complicated. This recovery image is activated but now if you install own OS version you will not be able to use the product key you got with your laptop.

  Anyway, now proceed to a complete stop Win8 and after having this beginning for laptop and use F12 to get into the boot menu. Of course your external DVD must be connected before starting your laptop. It may be that external drive is allowed on the like on my U940 USB boot option.

• Qosmio F30-140 - can't boot from DVD player

  Dear,

  I faced the problem of DVD player, I can't boot from it... in fact, he didn't see and CD or DVD when I insert it...
  So how can start from reinstalling windows? Or how can I use external USB DVD to boot from it?

  I F30 - 140, with BIOS updated...

  Please help neeeeeeed...

  Hello

  It seems that the CD/DVD drive has developed a hardware problem.
  Normally you should be able to boor to ODD in pressing the C key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
  Alternatively, you can press F12 at the beginning. This would allow the start on-screen menu.
  Here you can choose ODD as a source of start-up

  If this will not work, then the STRANGE might be vice.

  PS: I doubt that the BIOS supports CD/DVD USB drive startup...

• Can't boot from DVD or CD

  Hi all...  I have a W700, Type: 2758.

  I have my formatted disks and I want to reinstall the o/s.  When I turn on the machine with a disc, the message I get is "Device not found" or "No valid operating system".

  1. my boot order has "ATAPI CD0: model HL - DT - STDVDRAM GT33n-(TS)" as the FIRST device.  This unit has "No valid operating system" written next to it.

  2. I have two drives, that I am trying to boot from.  The first is a Windows 7 boot disk and then the BIOS CD that I got on the Lenovo site.  My results are the same regardless of which disc is in the DVD player.

  3. I swapped DVD drive with a co-worker to ensure that it works correctly.  The DVD player works in fact.

  4. I checked the two disks on my other PC and I have no problem to read.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Never mind... I got a hold of a DVD USB, taaa daaaa, it sees the drive instantly.

  While I am still completely confused on why I can't boot from the built-in DVD, I at least can I install the o/s now.  (Again, I've even changed embedded... DVD)

  Well...

  Have a great day everyone...

• Can't boot from DVD on HP Pavilion dv9600

  I'm trying to start Fedora 20.1 leave a DVD that contains an ISO image of Fedora 2.01. The BIOS recognizes the CD during the POST and apparently also in the beginning stages of start-up, since I can see the drive activity light and hear leaders seeking. However, Fedora does not start and finally Windows Vista starts normally.

  The drive is set to be the first choice in the boot device sequence.

  What must I do to boot from the ISO of Fedora image?

  Thank you!

• I can't boot from my cd of Windows Vista Home basic.

  QUESTION ABOUT THE PROBLEM TO START WITH MY ORIGINAL WINDOW VISTA HOME BASIC 32 BIT DVD

  Hi all

  I was delivered with a window vista home basic 32-bit MS CD original while I buy Lap Top, I reinstalled windows multiple times using the same CD, it is used since October 2009, now when I try to boot from it, its does not work. What can I do in this situation?

  Alex

  Is the support clean and free from scratches?  Have you determined that it is the drive that is the problem and not the drive itself?  Did you ensure that the BIOS is configured to boot from the optical device before the HARD drive?

• Pavilion 17 f004dx: need to boot from DVD to load Windows 7 Pro

  I'm downgrading my OS Windows 7 Pro 64 bit because I convert this computer to a computer game.

  I placed my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit DVD in the DVD drve.  Previous upgrades of older and other brands of laptops, you just tell the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM drive.  On the Pavilion 17 f004dx, the only Boot option I see is Boot From EFI leader. Which I suppose is looking for a secondary partition on the hard drive

  I upgraded the RAM and installed an SSD.  NOW I NEED TO LOAD the operating system Windows 7 Pro!  I hope that there is a way to do it!

  PLEASE ADVISE!

  Thank you!

• I can't boot from my cd of Windows. I would like to do a clean install.

  Can not do a clean install - Windows CD does not start

  Hey everybody,

  Using XP Pro

  Have a problem and I need/want to do a reinstall of Windows. Everything I read says first boot from the CD. Can't seem to get that to happen.

  CD player works fine. I can launch the Windows CD, but it says I have a newer version installed what is on the CD and won't let me not re-install.

  How can I get to any installation option, with or without formatting and re - install only the operating system or do a full install and re - load HDD to backup data files.

  If I format the drive hard, how will I be able to run the Setup program on the CD, if I can't start from there?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Garry

  You're welcome Gary and it's easy.

  You are now all set and ready to create your new Windows disk. Good work so far.

  Open NLite. Select your language, and then click Next. On the next window click on 'Browse' and navigate to the folder of Windows Xp that you created on your desktop. Give Nlite a minute to recognize the version of Windows, and then click Next. In the next screen, there will be a list of items, you can choose to customize the disk. At this point, you want to click on Service Pack and Iso Bootable. See screenshot HERE. Note that the small red dots to the left of the elements becomes green when selected. Once you have selected Service Pack and ISO Bootable, click Next. A browser window will open asking you to navigate to the service pack that you downloaded... Just navigate to the service pack and click on 'open '. Now, click Next. You will be asked if you want to start the process. Click Ok. Give Nlite a few minutes to catch up. Once he held you to the final screen.

  When to the final screen make sure you have a blank disc inserted in your CD-ROM. Now, use the drop-down menu to select "Direct Burn". Then click on "burn". See the screenshot HERE. After the burn is finished, restart the computer and boot from the disc. Install Windows.

• Cannot boot from disc or USB on Ideapad Z710

  I try to install Debian GNU/Linux on my Windows 8 Ideapad Z710, and I can not even my laptop to boot from an external support. InsydeH20 Setup utility, I have so far disabled Secure Boot, set the boot in UEFI, compatible USB Boot, Mode a PXE on LAN boot enabled and set my EFI boot to the EFI network order) 1 0 for IPv4, network EFI 2) 0 for IPv6, then (3) no other options) Windows Boot Manager.

When I boot with these settings, I get the error: network EFI 0 for IPv4 (...) initialization failed, and a similar one for IPv6, then it starts with Windows. Why I can't boot from DVD or USB?

  Another thing I tried is affecting Boot Legacy Support and Boot Priority to first legacy Mode (with Secure Boot disabled) which translates my computer laptop startup in directly to Windows even when ODD USB appears first in the boot order.

  Please tell me how to start on a Linux DVD or a USB on this machine! It's a major purchase for me, and if I can't install Linux on it, this laptop is completely useless for me. Please answer.

  Try this:

  1. fix the disabled startup.

  2. set start on Legacy Support Mode.

  3. start first priority inheritance

  4 Save and exit.

  5. stop computer.

  6. Insert your usb pendrive.

  7. press on Novo.

  8. Select the Boot menu

  9 select your USB key, and then press ENTER.

  Note: USB Boot must be enabled.

• 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.

• 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
