Cannot start linux USB drive on the PC of Compaq CQ2903ES

Hello

I am trying to install linux on a Compaq CQ2903ES desktop PC. I disabled startup secure on the bios, but the system does not boot from a linux live USB.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,.

I can confirm that following your directions, and starting from a DVD, I could install linux on it. This isn't what I wanted at first, but it helps.

Therefore, the solution is:

  1. Disable secure boot.
  2. Enable legacy start.
  3. Set boot order (DVD first in legacy trunk).
  4. Start the PC and enter the code + entry.
  5. Again, start with the inserted bootable DVD.

Thank you much for the help.

Best regards.

  • Adobe PS CS4 do not 'see' my USB Drives in the Finder

    For some weird reason, PS CS4 is no longer "find" my USB 2 TB disk in window Finder/devices on my iMac (nothing is displayed in devices).  However, it is to see my readers of my WD NAS, and if I go in the Finder on mine, it shows USB drives.  The WD drives are a MyBook of 2 TB and a MyCloud TB 3.  I had some problems with _those_ readers appear in the Finder, but its usually a WD firmware issue... and his generally more MyBook drive that gives me problems.  Anyway... the USB 2 TB above also appears (as it should) on the RIGHT side of my iMac screen.  The drive works very well, and I tried to always turn off the computer and the USB key... don't show using Photoshop.  I can search in the finder to the file I want, and then right-click to open in "Adobe Photoshop", but I'm so used to enter, edit and save files in CS4 that I am puzzled that this player all of a sudden cannot be 'seen' leave in PS CS4.  Previously, he had been, so I assume its a few parameters or issue preferences?

    Hi DrGrafix,

    Can you please try to activate a new user account and check if the PS CS4 is able to locate your USB key.

    Hello

    The deadlock problem in your journal that happens because the database user SCOTT has his account has expired or locked.

    To resolve this issue, you will need to:

    1 unlock the account with the command

    ALTER USER SCOTT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;

    2. set the password for SCOTT with the command

    ALTER USER SCOTT IDENTIFIED BY TIGER;

    3. confirm the status of the account with the command:

    Select the username, account_status from dba_users where username = 'SCOTT ';

    I hope that this will help solve your problem. I need to go to sleep now here, it's already after 01:00.

    Hi Jose_luna47,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you perform chkdsk analysis on the computer to check and fix the errors on the hard drive by using the recovery console.

    Chkdsk

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to check the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) and you need to contact the computer manufacturer for help with basic input/output system (BIOS).

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Tecra 8000: Cannot start - Message "Insert disc in the drive system" lights

    I have a Tecra 8000, I've not used for about two months. Now when I try to start the "Disk system to insert in the drive" message on the display. I tried three disks in the system, but they have not been accepted and the same message appears. I visited in the 'setup' and changed priorities and tried to floppy, CD-ROM, HARD disk drive, and the same message every time. Is it possible that the internal battery "backup" is completely flat?

    Hello

    Well, I'm not sure about your suggestion of the bios battery. Usually, you will see an error massage low battery BIOS or CMOS battery low.
    Well, but if the battery is low, so all settings are disabled and the BIOS can't save the changes.

  • Cannot start T400 USB key.

    I'm trying to start a Lenovo T400 laptop computer from a USB key.  The USB key contains a version of Ghost that I start in order to image the laptop to my Ghost server.  I can successfully start a Ghost on a CD session, but I have to change the SATA settings in the BIOS to achieve this.  I'm trying to get away from the CD and change the BIOS.

    Whenever I try to start, I get the message "Missing Operating System".  Successfully, I can boot and picture one boatload of Dell computers with the same USB key, so I don't think it's the drive.  On the laptop's operating system is Windows XP.  The USB stick uses command.com Windows 98 to start and is formatted in FAT32.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!

    Hey, Zoltan-thanks for the post, it was very helpful.  I'm not fluent in Linux that I'd probably, but your mention of the HP trainer got me interested in it.  I reformatted the drive USB with the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and then copied back all my files.  I can now successfully start a Lenovo T400 with my USB.  I was using a Windows 98 bootdisk to fdisk and then format the drive.  (This is my first attempt at this and a colleague suggested it was the right way to go)  Even if the system with the USB drive as C drive, I guess he doesn't properly format it as the active drive.

    Thanks again for your help!

  • How to make a portable USB drive use the same drive letter all the time

    Original title:

    I have many removable hard drives from Toshiba.  Use them for photography.  I usually connect simply, transfer photos from the DSLR camera (images raw, very big, not a camera point/rod).  When I plug in, computer automatically selects a player... F, g, H: by M or N.

    Then, I use Adobe Lightroom for adjustments.  Once they are imported into Lightroom it keeps track of this record, they were on.

    PROBLEM:

    If I unplug the removable hard drive, plug in at a later date, computer can randomly choose a different example M instead of H letter.
    LightRoom is so impossible to find photos/images.  I would then have to re - import and start any setting completely from the beginning.

    Question:
    How to direct the computer to select the same drive when I plug in a removable hard drive.

    Plug in a hard drive removable, computer selects H:, can I import into LightRoom, I disconnect the removable hard drive, a week later I want to make adjustments more photography, connect the removable hard drive and FORCE/DIRECT COMPUTER TO SELECT H: AGAIN (or whatever of the original letter was).

    Hope it makes sense.

  • vSphere - external USB drive to the data store local copy

    Hello world

    Yesterday, I created this post: http://communities.VMware.com/message/2135813
    With your help, we managed to find the only way to install ESXi to ISO image to USB external hard drive is to be attached to the machine near her and run the Setup from there, cannot be done directly.

    Today, we need your help in the next step, as it seems.

    We have a Dell r.620 physical machine with VMware ESXi 5.0 installed U1. We have an external hard drive with the operating system installation ISO images, software backup and a little more.

    The question is - how to copy the data from the external USB connected directly to the ESXi host to the data store local disk on the host.

    Yes, we know that we can do in the way that connect us to the machine on the same location and copy it into the data from there store. But we would do it directly. And we don't very well see by ourselves or using Google Uncle again.

    Poor ability to research, or is not possible?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    The court to do is to use the Datastorebrowser or WinSCP

    ESXi itself can only read the Fat16 drives - so what looks like the short path is the long way ;-)
