  • Cannot change the boot sequence in the bios

    Hello world!

    I use vmware fusion 3.1.1 (282344) (in fact has happened since I started from 3.0). A home edition of Windows XP is installed in the bootcamp partition and is used as the guest operating system. When I start Windows XP, it always first try to boot from the network, which takes about 1 min (this can be ignored by hitting the ESC key however). Even if I enter the bios settings, the starting sequences is not editable, where "everything on this menu is not editable in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system"is written. However, no password supervisor and of course, I'm not using the 'user '. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    PS: a full Linux guest OS (installed in fusion and is wrapped up as a file) has no problem to change the boot sequence.

    Best regards

    PrestonXu

    All items of this menu cannot be changed in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system

    Weird, I never heard of this message before. You get this when you start merging, not in native mode? I would have asked if someone had made changes to the BIOS settings until you got to the virtual machine, except that you said it's Boot Camp, so I think it's less likely.

    You can try to change the boot order in the Virtual Machine > settings > advanced > boot device.

  • Satellite R630-141 - cannot change the boot order

    I have a Toshiba R630-141 and I'm changing the boot order in the Bios, but the Bios does not allow me to choose my cd drive or a USB drive as the startup disk.

    I've updated the Bios today to the latest version, thinking that I need the latest version but still the Bios allows me to change the order.

    The problem is the screen flashes only when I'm in the form of change of boot order. When I select the upper and down arrows to select an option in the box just blinks and does not allow me to select any option.

    I tried the tab key, the number keys basically all of the keys that I on the keyboard, and still, I can't select usb or cd drive so I have to quit and restart.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi scarpentier,

    You can change the boot order in the BIOS and booting from another boot device? Go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Enter a startup disk (e. g. Toshiba recovery disc), save & exit the BIOS Setup. The computer will restart and should boot from the CD.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite problem BIOS L750 - cannot change the boot sequence

    Hello reader/answering my questions.
    I am having trouble with my 750 ODN bios. This bios is an official update (3.6) from the center of support, and almost everything has been fine since (the plot thickens!). I decided one day I want to dual boot with linux, in particular Fedora (this is unrelated to this though).

    But, when I burned the disc and tried to direct (too test) boot the boot order has been on hard drive, first of all, I found! I rebooted and pressed f12 - did not work.
    I tried to delete and escape - neither worked. Then, I tried all the f keys - none of them worked.
    Whenever he took me to the Windows Start menu, and I explored it and I could not find anything.

    It is also important to mention that I'm under Win 7 SP1.
    I tried both PLoP and osloader (too boot from the dvd) - neither worked.
    I also do not remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

    Also toshiba with instructions logo never appears.
    I would really just change the order of boot however, the rest of the bios I don't need access too much right now.

    A separate issue is that Windows randomly decides he wants to check my hard drive, which takes forever, and he won't until he arrives to check it out. I think it may need medical help.

    But, no help, a qualified doctor or not, would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
    Mitchell

    Hello

    > I also don't remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

    Pressing F2 by turning on the device could help you access the BIOS.
    But you do not need to change the boot order in the BIOS. You can do it by pressing F12. This should be done immediately after you have turned on the laptop.
    Then the start menu appears and you can choose the right boot device.

    Does it function?

  • VMware Workstation BIOS 9 - cannot change the boot sequence

    I have a Windows 2003 server that has almost zero space on the C drive, so I'm trying to start a utility disk so I can I repartition.

    HOWEVER... F12 not letting me NOT select a different boot device. If I go into the BIOS and go to the start menu, I see the hard disk and not the CD is at the top of the list and there is no way to change the boot order. Up, down and '+' and '-' keys don't do. The machine is a version that compatible with 6-7, but I shouldn't have to level 9 (I think, anyway).

    The boots of the virtual machine so fast but after that everything a 100 attempts I can't else primary hard drive to boot first.

    TIA

    Kevin

    With VMware Workstation (or at least tab of the virtual machine) closed, add

    bios.bootDelay = "5000".

    to the virtual machine's .vmx file. This will add a 5 second delay for the startup process that will allow you to hit the "ESC" key to the start menu and to attach an ISO or CD image to the virtual machine. Make sure that the virtual CD-ROM presents itself as 'Connected' before proceeding with the selection of the boot device.

  • HP envy m6-K015dx: how to remove/reset password BIOS of HP envy m6-K015dx in order to change the boot order

    I'm trying to install a new copy of windows 10 but currently it does not show an option to boot from usb. There are only two options i.e. BONE Boot Manager, BOOT from the file of EFI. I need to go into BIOS to change the boot order, but it asks for administrator password.

    I don't remember set the BIOS password on my laptop, and yet I've tried some of the passwords mentioned on the forums but none of them worked. I can't remove CMOS battery, which is part of the solution, because it requires for me to disassemble the laptop.

    Please suggest me any solution that I have not been able to understand all other sources.

    There are a few different ways to access a page of options boot menu at startup

  • How to change the boot order in Windows 7.

    I have a 64-bit operating system and I'm trying to remove windows 7 and install Vista. When I press F8, I take to a screen that does not allow me to change the boot order. If Windows 7 keeps on loading and the DVD are never read. How can I change the options, then the boot order is changed and the DVD are read and I can install Vista.

    Help please.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).

    Configuration/settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen that will tell you how-
    the order of boot on CD/DVD drive everything first. Some systems use F12 or other keys to allow a time change
    in the boot order.

    I hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to change the default options when receiving the Images on parachuting on a mac?

    Is there a way to change the default options when png or JPEG received on a mac? I can choose between backup to the downloads folder, or open photos. I would like to open in preview instead. Any ideas?

  • Elite 8000 LTS: can ' t get into the BIOS to change the boot order

    I want to change the boot order to allow booting from the ISO disks.

    Keyboard F10 doesn't bring up the BIOS screen, and the machine starts just in Win7.

    What works is by exchanging the mouse and keyboard usb for mouse and existing keyboars.

    Looks like that the installation of Win 7 bothered recognition of USB designs.

  • How to change the boot on Satellite 5100 sequence?

    Hello, I don't seem to be able to change the boot sequence for my 5100 satellite. I tried pressing C, F2, F12 and any other allmost touches possible.

    I also tried pressing ESC to access the bios. When I Press esc, I wonder the password that I created long time ago. When I entered the password all that shows on the screen is "Press F1 to enter normal setup" or something like that, if I have not seen to be able to enter the bios.

    Does anyone know a solution to my problem? I need to change the boot sequence

    Hi Lethin,

    I think your laptop is "Legacy free" which means that you have no way to directly access the BIOS.

    Any updates or changes to your BIOS must be made of in Windows.

  • Re: Satellite A50 - how can I change the boot with BIOS password priority?

    I have a Satellite A50. I need to restore to factory default to recover DVD, how do I boot from the DVD?

    The default boot priority is the HARD drive and is more bootable has been formatted. My BIOS is password protected, how can I change the boot priority? After having inserted the password, its always boot from the HARD drive.

    Thank you

    The boot priority, that you can change in the BIOS.
    Go into the BIOS with ESC, enter your password and then you can change it.
    But don t forget to save the changes.

    That s all and then you can boot from the CD.

  • Re: Satellite A210-10 has, crashes when you change the boot order

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my computer Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32-bit, clocked at 1.8 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, AMD Turion 64 x 2
    There is only a single disk partitioned into two drives of 75 GB (C and E).

    The problem is that whenever I enter the start menu (for boot from CD), or if I change in the BIOS boot order and restart, the computer hangs (power cut off suddenly).
    So the only way to recover, is to connect the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 minutes and repeat. Then, everything lights up normally or launches of Windows system recovery, after what he will restart and work very well.

    It would be important to know that I partitioned the drive to have 30 GB for installing Win7 later. The problem is that I've never tried to change the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know if it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.

    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It seems that the issue related to the Bios. Have you tried to put update or reflash?
