CD/DVD-RW is faulty and can not boot from an external DVD-R - Satellite A30
CD/dvd-rw from my Satellite A30 is defective and I bought and started using an external dvd - r, but when I want to format the laptop, the recovery cd does not start, well it starts, I can see what is on the cd, but when it runs the autoexec.bat file he always wants Player x who is my faulty dvd - rw. Is there a solution for this. Is it possible to run recovery from the external drive.
Thank you
Hello
I don't know if you tried, but normally you can press F12 at startup to enter the boot menu.
Select an external device then it should work.
Good bye

Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external USB optical drive
Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)
The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console. Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?
Yes, there is a way to do this.
I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
(Note: my version of BIOS is A08)1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).
5. When you see the Dell logo, start typing on the F12 key (the lower right corner shows the option press the F12 key to choose single startup options)
6. now start choosing appear with many options to choose from, including my CD/DVD drive.Hope it will be useful to you.

Can not boot from the disk of my Satellite C
1st I have a problem
Windows Boot Manager
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.File:------Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I / 0 errorTo resolve this problem, I tried to install the Windows 8-64 bit (definitions of factory programs) - with the correct Toshiba drives, but after installation, that it took place...
"reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key."
I changed the boot disk priority, but it is still this bug.
What model of laptop do you have exactly?
Have you changed anything in the BIOS?
The error message mentioned (reboot and select proper boot device) appear if the laptop can not find a boot device.
Go into the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is set as first boot device.In addition, you should check if the HARD drive appears on the first page of the BIOS with all the details of the unit (size of the HARD drive, name).
I guess this question could appear due to a malfunction of the HARD drive. -

Hi dynamitenews
1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
2. what happens when you try to start the computer?You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.
Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questionsIf nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
BIOS WARNING-
Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.

Can not boot from the CD to recover OS - Portege M200
Hello
I'm working on my Portege M200 friends that she bought used. Only, it came with an external USB CDROM drive and the laptop computer AC adapter. To make things better the HD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. I had a spare HD so I installed it and now the BIOS see the new HD, Yay!
I also discovered that I could buy a replacement Toshiba system recovery CD, new Yay! But before I do that I wanted to make sure I could boot from the external CDROM drive. I plugged the CDROM drive and attempted to start on a spare windows xp CD. But it does not start on the CD. I made sure that the CD-rom drive has been first in the BIOS boot priority, but that doesn't seem to work.
I read the other posts that mention the boot directly from the external CD-rom USB drive does not work and I have to boot to the CD-rom drive by plugging the CD-rom drive in a PCMCIA card. If I have to buy a PCMCIA card that has USB ports for connecting external USB CDROM drive in for I can boot from a CD?
If there will be any brand/type of work? If this is not the case, what brand/type is known to work.
Any advise will be greatly appreciated!BIOS of the portege recognise only a limited number of pcmcia-CD-disks
in this thread you will find all the information you need:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=71179𑘋but your portege also boots most of the readers of usb_FDD; If you make a BACK-boot disk with the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM usb drive you can use it without restrictions bios
as you can read that this method will work only in a DOS environment, that is why it is absolutely necessary to format your hard drive to fat32, otherwise it will not be recognized

I have a Dimension 8300 running XP Pro and I am trying to reformat the hard drive and reinstall XP. I can't boot from the CD. At startup after F12 and selected to boot from the CD, the sytem always starts on the hard drive. I changed the BIOS boot sequence, but still no luck. The works of CD to read and write, but no boot from the OS disk. Once the system boots from the hard drive I can start the CD of the OS that gives me the ability to reinstall XP, but no option to reformat. My top disc is a DVD-ROM and the second disc is a CD - R. I tried to boot from both drives, but the machine continues to boot from the hard drive. Any suggestions?

Press a key when read...I don't have the recovery CD anymore but I am trying to boot from the CD with a CD of Windows XP and I changed the priority to boot from CD first in the BIOS and it always displays this message... Help, please!
Hello
Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.
I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

Can not boot from my DVD to a format before loading Win 7
I tried to start my (professional) win7 updated my dvd player, so I can format my C: drive before loading Win7.
I did the necessary bios change for boot order, I get the message "press any key to boot...". ', but a touch usually takes me to my C: drive boot upward.
I should mention that I installed win7 on my C: drive but was never an option to format the drive, and now there are still all my old files and the background image that I don't want. Otherwise, the installation went great.
There is another thread where I was getting help and some good ideas, but he seems to have died.
See Win7 XP update not did me not the ability to format the C: drive or delete all the old files on this drive on this link for further details. http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-windows_install/Win7-upgrade-from-XP-did-not-give-me-the-option-to/4ca764c3-2f45-4B2F-84b9-808ce96476c4
Basically, what I want to know is, are SATA drives "to hot' I think the term is.
In other words do I can unplug the SATA connection on my C: drive, see him if I can then boot in my reader DVD, then in case of success, taking the C: drive in and move forward with the formatting and reinstalling from there?
Thank you
You need the C: drive to the DVD player work. I tried this before. Your Windows 7 CD may be corrupted. I recommend you to speak with Microsoft by phone on this problem. Here is ther number (800) MICROSOFT (642-7676).
Hope this helps!

Satellite A200 - 19L can not boot from the CD
Hi guys,.
I'm glad I found this forum site, I pretty well hope to find a solution here.
Well, this problem is not very complicated, in fact my DVD player (model TS-L632) is not read more, so much so I decided to change with a new one, but it is not the same model as the original drive.
It is the case of the generic DVD player really.Now when I inserted my recovery disk or any bootable disk is not booting the CD, and when I press F12 for I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can't find the DVD player and it can read any CD priority boot normally.
Just having the problem while booting from CD.
I thought that maybe there is no security for this model that locked some hardware.
So please guys want to help me how to understand it,any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
> When I press F12 for boot priority I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD.
The whole story seems really strange to me
If you access the BIOS, you can see the details of the CD/DVD drive? The drive is recognized properly?If not then I guess that the STRANGE inserted is not totally compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
> but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD
It s also strange to me so that the CD/DVD drive appears in Device Manager even if the CD/DVD drive Startup menu option does not appear.But first check the BIOS

Vista 64 does not start after the bios screen. Can not boot from the recovery cd or help
Last night a MS pushed a windows update and my pc restarted automatically. But it does not actually restart.
The PC goes through the bios tests, passes and then crashes and does not start in Vista.
I can't start at all, including safe mode.
I can't the system recovery option in HP bios to load. Can I only use my Vista64 system recovery bootable cd or actually start.
First of all, I thought it was a HARD drive problem, but tests of the bios disk hard that all spend, even the 2 hours 'SMART' test that he was running.

Stops on his own computer and will not boot from the CD
someone entered cmd and did something to my computer, now, the computer shuts itself, what can I do I tried to reinstall windows and the computer does not start from cd?
* original title - someone entered cmd and did something to my computer, now, the computer shuts itself, what can I do I tried to reinstall windows and the computer does not start from cd? *
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
See you soon.
