  Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and change the order of boot devices. This option is under the STARTUP tab. Otherwise, you can insert the recovery CD when the unit is turned OFF. Turn it on and immediately press the C button. keep it down for a few seconds and unit is forced from the CD/DVD drive.

• How to change the BIOS settings to read the Norton CD?

  In accordance with the instructions of Norton, I need to temporarily change the BIOS setting so that my computer will read the CD that has a Norton Bootable Recovery tool to start the computer.

  You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

  1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

  2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

  3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.

• Pavilion dv9655ea: screen garbled in the bios and windows

  Hi I have a laptop of dv9655ea of Pavilion, which had vista installed on it from the factory. I decided that I would upgrade to windows 7 ultimate. Everything was going well until I started to install drivers and I believe that it is the graphics driver that messed me up.

  Now, I have 256 colors and lines and blocks on my screen and cannot do something. I managed to Flash my bios, thinking it was a bios problem, but not sure. I tried to reinstall the graphics drivers to no success.7

  Can someone please help me with this problem of another sound in the tray.

  Thank you.

  Hi @Lordzytech ,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. It's a great site for information and questions. I looked in your question on your HP Pavilion Notebook dv9655ea and text scrambled on the screen of the BIOS.  The BIOS has not all drivers installed for the moment so I don't think it's a driver issue or dysfunction of the graphics card.

  I recommend to restore the default settings of the BIOS with this document by selecting the reload the default BIOS settings. This will have the BIOS check the connected equipment. If an update has changed the BIOS that it will restore and generally solves all problems.

  I don't see that on the HP driver page there are drivers for Windows 7. The original operating system on this laptop was Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit and it used use a NVIDIA GeForce 8400 M GS graphics card.

  You may need to return the laptop to Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Here is a link for your system recovery.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• I restart the computer and changed the BIOs to boot from the CD. So as usual, I'm prompted to press any key to start from the CD or DVD.

  Hello Comunity Microsoft :D My name is Mike and I built a gaming pc. Everything was going well for the first 3 days, but now I have a few crashes very violent. Speakers in loop and buzz and screen lock. I have to completely shut down to go back to a working state. I did everything I could possibly think of to solve this problem, but I can't.

  Then. on the problem. Today, I decided that I was able to solve all the problems by reinstalling windows. I had my keys together and put the disc in. I restart the computer and changed the BIOs to boot from the CD. So as usual, I'm prompted to press any key to start from the CD or DVD. I do and I get normal loading windows files, and at the end of this road, I get the Welcome screen in windows7 with no option and a fat slider. I don't have the little box that tells me that I can fix my computer or reinstall windows, NOTHING. I tried several times and received the same result<--(Insanity: root="" meaning...="" just="" saying)="" so="" i="" called="" windows,="" or="" had="" windows="" call="" me="" rather,="" and="" the="" tech="" says="" she's="" never="" heard="" of="" such="" a="" thing="" happening,="" and="" walked="" me="" through="" all="" these="" steps="" that="" i="" have="" already="" tried....="" still="" no="" help.="" so="" i="" am="" asking="" the="" community.="" has="" this="" ever="" happened="" to="" you="" and="" how="" did="" you="" make="" it="" work.="" and="" please="" don't="" post="" a="" list="" of="" regurgitated="" back="" log="" fix="" lists.="" rest="" assured="" i="" have="" already="" done="" it="" and="" failed="" to="" receive="" a="" different="">

  Just to isolate the problem, try to download a new copy of Windows 7, and then try again:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Regarding problems with the computer itself, try to disconnect all nonessential equipment attached to it to see if the problem persists.

  I would also try switching around components such as modules of memory to see if the problem persists.

  I would also check to make sure that all components are mounted and installed correctly.

• Problem of access of the bios under windows 8

  Hello

  Since the update my pc windows 7 to 8, I have had problems with the BIOS I can access is no longer the bios by pressing f2 on my keyboard, I've been on people to sort for weeks to try to get this problem but I have anywhere below are a list of things I've tried
  1. communicate with my Packard bell manufacturing gave no progress if the question has been reassigned to tell me it was a software problem with windows
  2. I contacted a local technician who did not know what the problem was
  3. I contacted Microsoft answering service who told me that I should try to access BIOS through advanced, startup was missing why it worked several important things like
  The UEFI firmware settings and use a device (firmware settings is very important because it allows the pc to boot directly from the bios)
  4. I contacted Proton an independent company with experienced technicians, who suggested the same thing as Microsoft
  Thanks for any help in advance.

  As you do not access the BIOS from Windows at all, not sure how this is a Microsoft issue.  The BIOS is what starts after the POST or Power On Self Test.  Then the BIOS takes over and from there it resets the Windows MBR to start.

  Therefore, hit F2 before you see anything to do with Windows, while F2 is the key used to access the BIOS Setup.  As soon as you see something to do with Windows, it is far along the boot process and you must try again.

• Tecra A8-185 - the update of the BIOS under Windows 7?

  Hi again,

  I have a question how update of the BIOS under Windows 7 ultimate x 64. I downloaded the latest version of the BIOS for my laptop (Toshiba Tecra A8-185 PTA83E). After having unpacked there is only the .exe file.

  When I try to run this file, he said, that my OS is not supported. When I run it in compatibility mode (with Vista or XP), it starts the upgrade, but gives me an error: "the BIOS upgrade is failure (8). BIOS is not able on this configuration. "What should I do? I really need a new BIOS.

  Can I run it at the start of the USB key, or whatever?

  Hi offi55

  Why do you need a new BIOS? You may notice some problems with the laptop or why are you trying to update?

  However, I think that the update should only be done on the pre-installed Windows version (XP or Vista). I guess that this update n t tested and designed to update Windows 7 so I think that would be the reason why you can t.

  So to install Windows from the Toshiba Recovery disk and try to update again. It should work.

• Satellite 1000-S158 changed the BIOS password on an empty

  I changed the BIOS password on an empty (blank). I can't access the BIOS. Pressing on enter: it shows the error isn't the right password.
  How can I fix?

  Hmm. sounds you did something wrong maybe you misspelled or set a different password?

  Anyway, the point is that you are not able to bypass the BIOS password screen and in this case you will be unable to start Notepad.

  The problem is that you cannot remove the BIOS password, this can be done by a technician of ASP.

  In my opinion only technician in ASP can help you.

• Can Equium P200 (PSB5E) - I update the BIOS on Windows 7?

  Hello.

  My question is: how to upgrade the BIOS under Windows 7? My Bios version is 1.70, I've seen, this version 2.50 is available for download, but only under Vista.

  Can it run Windows 7?

  Hello

  First question;
  Why do you update the BIOS?
  Is the reason for this?
  If the laptop runs successfully a BIOS update is not necessary!

  Now back to the issue of BIOS;
  Some laptops have special need BIOS for Win XP or Vista.
  So if you are using XP or Vista, then you must use the BIOS that was designed for one of these windows systems on the European driver Toshiba page you can see a column of OS that provides the info for what BIOS OS is designed.

  But in most cases, the BIOS is OS independent, which means that you can use it in any Windows operating system.

  Simply said; If the BIOS is available for Vista, then you can only use it with Vista.
  If it s independent OS, you can use it with Win 7, Vista or XP

• Satellite A110 - update the BIOS for Windows 7?

  Hello. I found two drivers support page to your versions of BIOS for my Toshiba Satellite A110:
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba Windows Vista 32 bit 5, 40 - WIN World Wide
  01/21/09
  Update the BIOS
  Toshiba OS independent 2, 00 - WIN World Wide

  In 'other info' page on first bios there is a warning that this version is only for windows vista, and on the second page 'other info' he warns, that this version is not compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista.
  My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?

  My second and more important question is what version of bios should I install if I now use WINDOWS 7 32 bit?

  Hello

  > My first question is what this means? If I have OS Toshiba idependent 2.0 BIOS will not install Vista?
  You should be able to install Vista using BISO 2.0 but maybe your laptop will generate some questions
  So you need to update the BIOS to 5, 40 - WIN version if you want to use Vista OS.

  If you want to use Win 7 on your laptop then you must first install the Win 7 OS and then you should check out how Windows 7 is running
