• Cannot start from the CD in my Satellite P300-23F

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the old laptop from my brother. It's a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop did not work well, so he bought another. I think he might have a problem with the HARD drive, but I'm not sure about this and want to try to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  When I start from the disc HARD I have no problem, insiders of OS normally, and I can 'use' laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get this message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I have instaled the operating system with this CD on another computer. I know that the CD player (not sure if it is called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) also works very well, because I tried different CD and it worked.

  I've tried pressing F12 and boot from CD it and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD in the first place, but it does not work.

  No idea what's going on? Is it possible to make it work?

  Stand by.
  When Windows is completely loaded, you can use the optical disk drive and it reads all CDs and DVDs?
  When you put your Windows Windows installation disc can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

  Maybe you can use the CD but not DVD. check it out please.

• XP Home Edition does not start without the installation CD after reinstall.

  I reinstalled XP Home Edition on my PC without formatting the drive first in order to keep all of my data.  I have installed all service packs.  However, for some reason, I had to call Microsoft to get validated.  The only problem I have now is that it does not start without the installation CD in the drive.  I have XP on the half before the C drive and me on the back of half.  The reader is a digital WD800JBRTL of Western.  Well it worked like that for years. Why can I now not start without the CD?

  HiNeal2660,

  It seems that the NTLDR file is not on the C: drive. NTLDR is the boot loader for all versions of Windows.

  You can perform a Windows XP repair installation & check if you are able to start normally.

  Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

• URGENT! Cannot start from the HP recovery discs.

  I am facing a problem weired with the help of HP recovery disks (ordered from HP).
  HP drives are bootable, I checked on another desktop not HP. My Pavilion cannot boot from HP discs, but it starts on the other Windows 7 bootable disk. Even this drive gives me the error to the expansion of the files windows to 52%. It says failed to load the driver for the drive and asks me to select the drivers, so I inserted the disc Driver from HP, but it says nothing found.

  I tried to use HP discs after, whole HARD drive then create 100 MB system reserved partition (NTFS), 100 GB NTFS for the C drive for installation of Win; but still no luck. After selecting CD/DVD in the start menu, the continuous cursor to blink on the left corner for a few 10s of seconds and the system reboots without any messages.

  When I tried with Linux Mint 14 KDE startup disk, it installed smoothly without any mistakes and right now, I'm using Linux.

  So this is a strange problem where I can't decide what thing is defective; If my reader DVD, DVD or my Pavilion. But all work to differnet scenarios. Please suggest a solution if you know.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

• 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.

• Home CD not active - WinXP virtual system - cannot start from the CD to install WinXP

  I'm new to this product, although I used vmware customer a while back on a Windows System.

  I have a P4-24 base system. G Intel chipset with new CD/DVD IDE burners/readers.

  These are both on IDE1 and nothing is on IDE2

  I have two drives SATA WD120G who are the active disks.

  ESXi 3.5 installed OK and I can create a virtual machine using the VMware Infracstructure customer.

  When I start the client machine I have CD/DVD host will start the Windows XP CD, but it fails

  to do so. I tried the option to use the client CD started the power upward, but so far I can not install the WinXP operating system

  on the virtual machine. I even unplugged of the DVD to limit the scope, but that made no difference.

  It's almost as if the virtual machine cannot find the CD/DVD drive.

  Can someone suggest a resolution?

  

  I never use physical media (do not say that it does not work) - I use the ISO. I find in situations like yours is to mount the iso for the virtual machine outside the parameters of the virtual machine - simplest method, you will see an option to connect to cd/dvd in the menu in the VI client.

  Another thing - you will need to connect a flp buslogic image to a floppy drive so that the XP VM can see the buslogic controller (so you can see the hard drive) for installation of the operating system.

  http://virtrix.blogspot.com/2007/09/vmware-installing-windows-xp-on-esx.html - this link also has a buslogic.

  If you find that you don't have enough time to interact with the menu of the loader boot - set a delay at startup in the settings of the virtual machine to 5000ms - this will give you 5 seconds.

  I hope this helps.

• Re: Satellite L310 - cannot start from the HARD disk

  Hello

  My L310 just died on me yesterday. My system just can not start, not even in Safe Mode. And it keeps trying to start using my network card, not through hard drive.

  I put the BIOS default settings, but it does not help.

  And she has this tone to loud continuous beep when it tries to start using the network card. A continuous beep, even on the screen of the BIOS and in safe mode.

  I chose the hard drive manually, but he keeps trying to start through the network adapter.

  And the laptop does not meet the keyboard. Even with a keyboard external usb. When I sometimes managed to boot my system on the rare occasion, I get to the login screen and cannot button my password.

  Does anyone have similar problems?

  Let me know. Thank you!

  Looks like your HARD drive is defective. BIOS recognize it?
  You should test the disk with Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

  Check this box and give us feedback. Maybe the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

  On the keyboard issue it is not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but in the worst case that he should be replaced also. :(

• Cannot start from the CD HP Pavilion 15-n003sq

  Hello, I'm trying about three days why my laptop do not show me the CD option in the Boot Menu (F9).

  I need to reinstal my windows (8) and I don't really have the time to find a USB key (I don't have in any case..), so I have to do for the CD to start windows.

  I don't really understand why it doesn't, after all, it worked the first time when I instaled windows 8.

  I'm looking online for the solution, but I can not find the USB solution. This isn't a solution for me I need to install CD... What happens if I put in shape all-> them my disk partition (up to drive local C will remove a part of windows and it will colapse...) then will probably be to boot from the CD?

  Secure boot it is disabled in the BIOS (in any case, he let me to him allow for). Legacy Boot, I tried with her, turn on and off, I have not seen a chage.

  Thank you

• cannot start on the external dvd drive

  I have a powered hub that I have attached a DVD player/recorder to. The hub is also connected to my Dell coming Pro 8 5830. I can use this DVD player/recorder in 8.1 for Windows to burn a Macrium rescue disc. I was also able to play videos with the DVD recorder/player while being connected to my Dell Tablet.

  I want to be able to start in the DVD player, if ever, I have to use my Macrium rescue disc to restore a saved backup image.

  When I go into the bios to make sure that the DVD player is selected first, he does not appear in the list.

  How can I configure the startup Dell Tablet in the DVD player if it is not displayed in the list of the Bios boot?

  We could use the power of Dell + data dongle USB OTG or similar device for example from other manufacturers, to circumvent the problem of power?  Then, it is a question of modifying the BIOS to boot from the DVD drive, if possible.

• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

• Satelite C70-B-32D - cannot start from the CD

  Hello

  I can't boot from the CD. I changed the boot in the BIOS accordingly and always order boot from the HD. The CD is very good and starts fine on other PCs.

  In order to boot from sources other than the HARD drive, you must disable secure in the BIOS startup

• Cannot start from the CD on Satellite L10

  Hi, I had several problems during the last two weeks with my Toshiba laptop. I decided to back up all my files and use the recovery disk to erase everything. I put in the disc and then changed the BIOS so that the CD/DVD drive was the first. (I hope, Toshiba L10 and "Utilities" CD series tools, is the right disc)

  It just loaded windows as normal and I can not seem to get the startup disk. If you have any advice for me please answer as soon as possible.

  Thanks in advance :) Ashley

  Hello

  You must find the Toshiba Recovery CD. On this CD, you will find the image completely with Windows and all Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  From this CD you must boot to install the new OS.

  Other CDs contain only the software, drivers and utilities you can find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

• Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

  Heres one in your brain is going...

  I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

  Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

  The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

  Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

  However...

  When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

  Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

  If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
  The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

  This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

  This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

  Any suggestions would be welcome

  Hello

  Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
  I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

  To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

  > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
  Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?
