• HP ENVY 17-n013na: the Legacy BIOS boot option does not work

  Support dear HP team,

  I recently bought for laptop HP ENVY 17-n013na .  It came with Windows 8.1. I have to install Windows 7. Unfortunately, the legacy in BIOS boot option does not work for me. Here is detailed information:

  BIOS version: F.04 Rev 5.0

  I tried updating to the latest version of the BIOS on the Support site.

  To activate the option to boot legacy, I followed the following steps:

  • Entered, BIOS configuration utility
  • Go to the System Configuration
  • > Boot options
  • Changed the setting to the Legacy Support on " Enabled"
  • F10 - save changes & exit

  Now, after the restart, if I go once more, configuration of the BIOS Legacy Support is set to disabled. Whenever I have change to active BIOS, Save & Exit, it is up to the people with reduced mobility. Because of that I can't run the installer of Windows 7 DVD.

  Please provide any help & suggestions.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

• NB200-10Z - No. SD card with the new BIOS boot option

  First with the version of the BIOS 1.60 could start with SD cards
  Instead since I updated the BIOS to version 1.70 is therefore more option.

  Why?

  Hello

  Are you sure that SD boot option isn't available more?
  You load the default settings after the update?
  I can t imagine that Toshiba has removed this feature

  As I wrote, try the default settings and other SD card. You can post it here again what is happening.

• Priority of the BIOS boot options is not available

  Hello. I'm changing the boot on my Windows 8 Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro sequence. I wish that the machine checks first to any bootable USB device before going on the hard drive. This would be necessary in case I would like to recover from a hard drive failure.

  When I press F2, I can see the "Boot Device Priority". But there is only 1 option available: Windows Boot Manager.

  I'm sure that there are other options available, but I did something to remove!

  I disabled the Fast BIOS mode as suggested by some, but the situation persists.

  How can I see other boot options?
  Kind regards
  Maury

• the external drive BIOS boot option usb missing

  I am trying to boot from an external USB device.  I have a DELL with a Pentium M with WINDOWS XP.  I entered Setup via pressing F2 at startup.  I changed the BOOT SEQUENCE so that a USB storage device is top of the list.  I rebooted the computer & F12 key to display the options of start & USB device are not yet listed.  As far as I can tell when the computer starts, it uses the internal hard drive & not the USB device.  This computer has more than 1 USB port.  Y at - it a specific USB port I need to use, or is not properly enabled USB option because I don't even see it not as an option when I press F12 at startup.  If it is not properly active how can I do so?

• BIOS lack internal hard drive boot option

  I had problems with my computer gives me an error message 'Operating system not found' on initialize toward the top.  I knew that my hard drive was almost at full capacity, so I decided to install a new hard drive with more capacity, a Seagate Momentus 500 GB.  From what I read he appeared as my computer to recognize the new hard drive automatically, but it does not only and does not initialize.  When I go to boot options in the BIOS Phoenix, he mentions only: F10 and F12 Delay (s) [0], CD-ROM Boot [Enabled], boot floppies [Enabled] and starting adapter [Disabled] internal network.  However, the boot order lists: portable hard drive USB floppy, ATAPI CD/DVD ROM, USB disk on key, USB hard disk drive, and! Network adapter.  Would it be the BIOS Boot Option which is at the origin of the new hard drive is not being recognized?  I can't find where in the BIOS I can add this option in, or so that it can detect the new hard drive.

  When I put my Vista recovery disc in, it will load, but when I select Yes for "reset your system to factory settings" and it starts to reformat the hard drive Windows partition, it returns immediately with error '0x400110020000100A '.

  Anyone can shed some light on this problem?  Any help is appreciated!

• HP xw4600 workstation: setting up dual boot and BIOS storage options

  I have a HP with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit xw4600 workstation. He resides in the SATA location 0.

  I have a separate hard drive Linux Mint 17.1 installed. He resides in slot SATA 3.

  I want to set up a dual-boot option to start Windows or Linux.

  In the BIOS under storage... Storage options must be set to RAID or AHCI? (I don't want a backup RAID configuration. I have cloned my hard drive to another hard drive in the SATA 2 connector, the DVD burner is in the SATA 1 connector).

  It seems that the computer will boot only from the hard drive to the SATA location 0.

  If I disconnect the hard drive to the SATAS location 0 which has Windows 7, I get an error in the message of wiring.

  If I use the boot F9 option, my choice is the hard drive, but I can't specify which.

  I can't find anywhere to change the HDD boot order in the BIOS.

  Any help will be apprecaited because I want to avoid opening the case and cables around switching.

• In the BIOS boot device options

  Hello

  I want to use my USB to be bootable since my laptop Winxdows XP.  When I go to the BIOS to change the settings,

  the Boot Options available are:

  Startup CD-ROM (ENABLE)

  Boot disk (ENABLE)

  (DISABLE) internal network card boot

  BOOT ORDER

  USB disk on key

  USB floppy drive

  CD-ROM ATAPI CD/DVD drive

  Portable hard drive

  USB hard drive

  Network card

  Please indicate which of these Boot Options should I 'ACTIVATE' and

  that the boot ORDER should I choose to be at the top: -.

  1. If I want to boot from my USB key USB

  2. If I want to boot my Portable external hard drive

  3. If I want to boot from my CD/DVD Rom

  4. If I want to boot from my laptop

  The "boot" of Word to say 'start' in language computer, right?

  So if I chose to boot from my USB key, my laptop cannot start to load Windows XP because it normal would be more until I go back to the BIOS to change the setting?

  Why cannot it not auto answer to the user's choice to start the Windows?

  BTW, what does "Starting the internal network card" means?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  To see if you can boot from a USB key, you must go into your BIOS and look at the boot order.  If you see "USB stick" in the list, then you can probably - but it should be placed in the order before the drive hard to make it work.

  If you want a boot disc/USB drive for repair purposes, I highly recommend the free Hirens Boot CD.  This CD comes with a bunch of diagnosis and repair integrated tools.  If you can't fix it with this CD, it cannot be fixed without having to reinstall Windows.  Of course, this is not Microsoft.

  Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ >
  Don't be fooled by the fake download links.  The correct link is a file .zip downstairs in a light green rectangle with a drive icon.

  There are instructions to create a Bootable CD and bootable USB Thumbdrive:

• Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450

  For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:

  System restore

  System Image recovery

  Startup Repair

  Command prompt

  Startup parameters

  Go back to the previous version

  Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64?   Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.

  Thank you

  John

  It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.

  Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.

  Thank you

  John

• HP compaq 6730 s: windows 10 in my 7 year old HP Compaq 6730 s - should I try it?

  Hello

  I have an old (but surprisingly good job!) 64-bit processor HP Compaq 6730 s, implemented to date with an SSD and 8 GB of ram DDR2 memory. Currently it is dual-boot Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit edition, pretty well - he gave no problems up to now and Ubuntu 14.04. I'm quite tempted to upgrade to windows 10, but because it's a pretty old computer, I'm not sure of the weather, the material will be fully compatible with w10... and also I don't want to lose my partitions!

  So, what do you recommend me... should I go for it?

  Thank you very much for your help and for creating amazing machines like the 6730 s!

  Gonzalo

  Hello:

  I have the elitebook 6930p who basically has the same hardware as your model.

  W10 works fine on mine, but I don't have a webcam, nor do I use the fingerprint reader or protect software security tools, so I can't confirm that those who work on W10.

  You should be able to recover to W7 very easily if you do not delete the windows.old folder.

  To return, go to settings > update and secuity >
