Cannot boot from CD - Pavilion 513n

• HP Pavilion 500-210 QE cannot boot from any hard drive.

  Good evening. As you can see on the subject, my computer just cannot boot from any hard disk that I put on it. I tried swapping the power supply, SATA cable, reset the BIOS, allowing the start legacy, changing to AHCI to IDE and RAID...

  When I get to the BIOS Setup, I see the hard drive and its features, but it will not start or show when I am trying to install a new OS. I'm not an expert, but I think that the problem could be in the motherboard SATA ports, but I'm not sure. Just to be sure, I tried another harddrive and it did not work as well.

  I was also thinking to buy a HDD external and installation of my OS on it, but I don't even know if it is possible and I would really like to have my computer working again.

  Thank you for your attention!

  Ok. That doesn't say that it is very likely that the motherboard has problems.

  Hello

  I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

  It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
  Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

  However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
  If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
  If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

• Cannot boot from Win 8.1 installation disk

  My mother has a Dimension 3000 system that works under XP and now I am trying to install WIndows 8.1 so that she can use banking online again. The problem is that it does not start from the installation disc.

  I have upgrade BIOS A03 and update all drivers using the driver Booster 2. Now the system is set at the first start of the CD-ROM, then HARD drive but it ends to always boot from the HARD drive. I'm at about 400 km, so I'll try to help him by phone. I tested for a start from the disc on my own XP and haven't had any problem so the drive is fine. I also ran the upgrade on its system Wizard, and everything was fine.

  I don't understand what is wrong, no matter who?

  Thank you. OK, so the problem is dimensions 3000 cannot boot from a DVD, only a CD?

  Since that she already bought (32-bit OEM) license and opened it, I doubt it will be returned, so I would try to make work in all cases, if that doesn't work I'll have to get a new PC.

  If copy us the contents of the DVD on a USB maybe we can boot from that? I'll give you a call tonight.

  The system is 10 years old... BIOS A00 - August 2004. The latest version of the BIOS is 8 years old February 2006. This system may be too old to be able to boot from USB.

  Other problems exist, the standard installed memory was of 0.5 to 1 GB, 1 GB is minimum requirements so it may also need to be upgraded.

  As mentioned in the video, Intel 82865 G is not supported by Intel for Windows Vista or later. For Vista/7, there are a few things that you can use so that it can work, but even then not very much. It will only use the generic driver for Windows 8.1 and the screen will be blurred.

  In addition, the systems hard drive is IDE and probable with a low capacity. The hard drive being the most likely component to fail and this type is no longer under production.

  So at least you'll need a DVD player, probably some memory and a video card. Even in this case the system doesn't always works well. I recommend wasting money in upgrading such an old machine. For the price of all these improvements, you can buy an OptiPlex 760/780 opportunity on eBay that come with a license of Windows 7. As you have already purchased the Windows 8.1, you could same source on an OptiPlex 745/755 and use your Windows 8.1 this license. All these systems will perform much better than the Dimension 3000.

  Of course, you can also look to a new system, the new Dell Inspiron is very cheap and can be done for $230:

  http://www.Dell.com/us/p/Inspiron-3646-small-desktop/PD?OC=fdcwnt7101h&model_id=Inspiron-3646-small-desktop

  While it is a low-end model compared to the Dimension 3000, it is a significant improvement.

• ESXi 3.5 Update 4 virtual machines cannot boot from ISO image stored on the server

  Ok

  If I have one of my virtual machines of ESXi configured to use an ISO image sitting on my server ESXi, they cannot boot from this image.  This is after you click "ESC" during startup in order to change the startup CD-ROM.  I have this a known issue, or I'm just doing something wrong?  If I have the vms use an ISO sitting on my desktop (using Infrastructure Client) it works fine.

  Or the answer is even simpler, make sure I connect at power on.

  OK, Yes!  But some of the things we take for granted... haha...

  Hi Visruth,

  Thanks a lot for your kind reply!

  My laptop comes with FreeDOS and at the beginning, even I had this problem, but for me it turned out that the USB is not bootable.

  For me the best software to make a startup disk is - http://rufus.akeo.ie/ it's free and open source and its really light.

  Have you tried to boot via the DVD on other PCs. Because if the other DVD/CD, work on your laptop, there might be a problem with the DVD that you are using.

  Have a nice day ahead!

  Kind regards

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Qosmio G20 cannot boot from CD copied

  Hello all you people support for this forum:

  I have a Qosmio G20 purchased at the Canada a couple of years back. I lost my recovery DVD (original copy) but I have an ISO image burned on my backup drive. I burned the image on another DVD and I tried to recover from this DVD. Unfortunately, my computer does not this DVD.

  The BIOS is set to boot from the CD first. I tried to start other systems with this DVD and it starts as a result. I also tried to boot from other CD of the OS for example XP Professional. All of these discs are not the original disks. They are made from the original ISO image.

  I wonder if the Qosmio DVD only reads the original disks or is there something wrong with my G20.
  This laptop can't boot from the USB DRIVE.
  It was one of the things that I tried. But of course, the G20 does not support this.

  Thank you for your response in advance and looking forward to hear from your support.

  Hey dude ;)

  Don't you think you'll encounter here of support persons?
  This is a user forum and you will encounter only Toshiba laptops users who are trying to help other users.
  I thought I should clarify this first ;)

  Now to you deliver
  The CD/DVD drive is able to read many CDs and DVDS. But of course, it can happen that some burned CD or DVD cannot be read.
  This also happens to me.
  I have a desktop PC and different CDs/DVDs from different manufacturers are not totally compatible
  I have tested a lot of CD and DVD, and finally I spent in a TDK.
  It seems that these media are better suited to my CD/DVD drive.

  Maybe you should try to boot from another bootable CD/DVD to check if the readers is not a malfunction. ?:|

  Regarding the boot from USB.
  Well, I read that this is not possible. You can boot only from HDD, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)

  Best regards

• Blue Screen of Death error - trying to replace hard drive but cannot boot from CD

  Hello

  I have a Dell Dimension 2400 running Windows XP which is about 4 years old now (everything is oem with the exception of the upgraded RAM from 256 MB to two 512 MB, mark PNY installed about 6 months ago). Recently my computer started to go to a blue screen saying "a problem has been detected and windows should now order to avoid damaging your computer equal not less or equal...". Technical information: STOP: x00000000A (0x00000002, 0x00000000 0x00000020, 0x804F9F45) the beginning of physical memory dump... ' etc. (the blue screen is shifted to the left, it is difficult to read everything). The BOS came intermittently, and after a reboot, it was fine, but it started to get worse and now returns immediately when Windows starts. When the windows would be fine I couldn't use a lot of programs (virus scan or anything that required for access to the files, I could also not download anything), because it says that the files were corrupt.

  I thought that my hard drive has failed or got a virus. I was not too concerned by the loss of what was on the hard drive. So I thought that I could by a new hard drive and start-up costs. I bought a western digital caviar is 250 GB. I installed and tried to boot from the CD that came with the new HD and reinstalled operating system CD dell (I entered the Setup menu to change the boot sequence for the CD first). It cannot start. It says press F1 to retry or F2 to go together to the top. Maybe I have other problems with the CD-rom, motherboard, or? However, everything worked well before the BOS began to appear. I've tried everything I can think of (which is not much, because I know little about this sort of thing). I'm getting very frustrated with it and appreciate any help that could be offered. I tried to include information relavent, but please let me know if you need more information. Thank you very much.
