Cannot get Z3 - 615 to boot from USB or CD/DVD

I've been trying to get a Z3-615 to boot from the CD/DVD or a USB bootable device. All my attempts have failed. I have checked all the settings of the bios, changed the boot order and all other options. I try to boot from a well-known Windows 7 disc. I tested the CD and USB on other devices and they work perfectly.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

to install windows 7 on your desktop, you must move from UEFI to legacy, disable secure boot and allow to launch the CSM.

  • Re: boot from USB or CD/DVD

    I have an Acer V5-571pg-9814 with pre-installed Windows 8.

    I have tried to boot a Linux live usb and can't even get a cable USB or CD/DVD to boot at all.

    I want to check some of the Linux operating systems to see how they can install on this computer until I consider that for a dual-boot with Win8. Please note that I have read other messages here on the installation actually another OS as a dual boot, which I may need later, but now I would just use the live USB or CD/DVD and view these operating systems - and I have not found a position that directly addressed this issue.

    I tried to activate and use F12 (by default it is set to off in the bios). I tried to use Win8: charms > pc settings > advanced > reboot - troubleshooting > advanced - then use USB or CD/DVD, orinto UEFI boot to the bios and boot order settings.

    The computer does not recognize the USB and CD/DVD, but only straight Win8 boots - no matter which option to choose or even if I put the boot order USB and CD/DVD before Win8.

    So, how to start from a CD/DVD or USB port?

  • Problem when booting from USB and bootable DVD

    I tried to boot from a bootable DVD to try Linux and install it. So pressing F9 to select the boot device, so I chose DVD ROM drive But it still does not start.

    Note: It starts on the first run. When I restart the PC and try again to start from the DVD, it jumps the DVD playback. Same thing happens with the USB key. I tried all USB ports.

    Another time all USB ports too and this pen drive work well and the DVD. Don't know what the problem is.

    Please tell me is there any problem with the BIOS?

    Thank you.

    In each market, unless F9 (for most HP computers and laptops) is selected to change the order, BIOS will look on the bootable devices (USB HDD, ODD,) in the order that they are configured in the BIOS settings.

    A usb device is not in the list of the BIOS boot order, as it is generally not available and only temporarily inserted.

  • Can't boot from USB or CD/DVD to boot.

    I'm trying to install a new OS from a bootable DVD that I created. However, my T530 leader not from the DVD. I checked the boot order in the BIOS settings and even explicitly tried to force at the start of my DVD - ROM Sina the F12 boot menu. I was able to boot from this DVD on my other computer.

    Any way to diagnose whether my DVD-ROM is defective, or is there maybe some BIOS setting to fix this? I am able to read the disc in Windows, just can not boot from it. The laptop is brand new, just opened it today, so I don't know why something so simple that it would just work.

    You must disable startup secure, then tilt the machine mode Legacy BIOS UEFI.

    Hello

    We will determine if your PC can not even boot from USB devices.  Plug the USB and turn on your PC.  When you get to the HP splash screen, then start typing the escape key to bring up a boot selection menu. If you do not see the USB device then your PC can't boot from a USB device.

    If your PC does support booting from a USB device and then read this MS post article.

    You always have the option to start Windows Defender from a CD or a DVD.

  • Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

    However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
    + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

    I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

    Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

    This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
    Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Just a few questions:
    Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
    If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
    Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

  • Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

    My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

    In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

    Hello

    Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
    Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

    Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
    Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

    And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

    To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

  • How can I boot from USB - Portege A200

    Hello

    I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

    In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

    Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

    The options I can think of are:
    (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
    (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
    (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

    If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

    I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
    It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

    However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

    There are different reasons for this problem
    For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
    Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

    In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
    I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

    Good luck

  • Need to boot from USB device with my Portege 7020ct

    Hello!

    I need help!

    situation: me and my girlfriend go on a long trip on Tuesday. We have to work, so we bought a second hand portege 7020ct.
    However, there is no CD or diskette drive. Win98 is installed but no drivers for the modem. infrared can locate other computers, but is not able to connect.
    so the rare thing I have is a usb connector.

    I want to install win2000 or at least put some data on the hard drive.

    So I need to use my external cd drive or usb key. the problem is, the system (usb port) find the external hard drive and the USB, but I need to install drivers to prepare! But how? --> no internet, no floppy drive, no internal cd, without infra-red...

    What can I do?

    I tried to get into the bios to see if it is possible to boot from the usb slot, maybe get the external drive runnin and then install win2000.
    but I can´t know how to get into the bios! .. .but I m don't know if it will work.

    How do I enter the bios?
    Anyone have any idea what I can do? How can I get drivers in the system?
    How can I get the disc runnin external or USB?

    Please, I beg you! I need help very quick, cause tomorrow is my last day...

    Thanks to everyone in advance
    Deko

    Hi Deko,

    The key in the power up takes you to the BIOS settings.

    Installing the drivers could be difficult. I have a 7010CT and there is no option to boot from USB (only floppy - HDD - CD - lan). I don't think that Windows 98 supports USB sticks without additional drivers. I upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 by using a PCMCIA cdrom external and from the installer of Windows 98. Maybe you could try to use a network card PCMCIA to try to find a disk for the Portege.

    Y at - it * all * way to get this tablet to boot from a usb device?

    Grateful for any suggestions.

    OH ok. Yes, I use Microsoft Media creation tool.

    The bios will recognize without problem.

    Don't forget to upgrade, install not the device.

    You can clean install later, after the initial upgrade has been registered in the database of Microsoft.

    If the Windows 8.1 will again open, run the tool of creation of media from the desktop of 8.1.

    BUT, first run the Windows Disk Cleanup tool and then run the tool.

    IF Windows is not running, then you need to use the USB method.
