computers dv9310us laptop boots with DVD only

I have a HP DV9310us.  He has a new 500 GB hard drive.

The hard drive is not visible in the BIOS. BIOS integrates the latest version of this model on the HP support site.

However, I was able to reload Vista 64 on it and activate it.

With the Vista DVD in drive opticale and ignores the option «boot to CD...» ». The computer boots to the hard drive and starts perfectly.

Without the DVD, I get "Operating Sytem not found".

Add the drive back and it works normally again.

Anyone have ANY ideas?

Hi John4438,

Welcome to the HPCommunity, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I'll be happy to help you with your problem. I took a glance, Maintenance and Service of Guide for your model and it does not support a 500 GB hard drive. Material limitations for the size of the disc model-based hard max is 200 GB.

Thank you

  • HP Envy 17 Laptop: problem with DVD/CD player

    I recently bought a laptop HP Envy 17 refurbished to replace my laptop screen Acer of 18 ".

    He had Win 8.1 on it I then upgraded to win 10.

    Everything worked as it should, including the CD when he arrived, and after the upgrade.

    As I was used to having 2 hard drives on my Acer and did not find a drive for the HP cable I used one of them to replace the DVD unit

    http://www.Amazon.com/SANOXY-Caddy-12-7mm-universal-DVD-ROM/DP/B0056EW4A4

    It worked perfectly.

    I then found a drive cable of HP on eBay second hand and when it arrived I installed the second disc in the DVD player OK and re-installed hard drive Bay - although I expected to replace it later with the Hard Drive caddy so I might have 3 internal drives.

    This is where the problem started.

    Although the second disc showed now and available to use, the DVD player is no longer appears in the Explorer or in Device Manager, even if I remov the second car of the Bay.

    Can someone suggest any way how to fix this problem?

    TIA

    UPDATE:

    4th restart the laptop cured the problem and the DVD is now appear.

    Yet once replaced caddy of DVD with a hard drive Caddy in his place and I have now 3 internal hard drives on my laptop.

    Hello world

    My Toshiba laptop (Satellite P855-S5200) broke down and Im forced to replace my hard drive. As this laptop came with a preinstalled window, I don't have any starting device to activate my Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit again.

    The sticker on the back of my laptop said: Window 7 Home Prem OA.

    (1) what it means? What is the difference between mine and a regular version of window 7 Home Premium?

    I researched and found "X 17-58997 ISO» (2) it work to activate my Window 7 Home Prem OA? My laptop says 'X 16-96072' (3) I want to say I find that version to work for my laptop? If Yes, where can I find it?

    If I want to switch to Window 7 Professional How can I do? Can I just buy a Window 7 Professional Windows and install it?

    Please help! Greatly appreciated!

    If Santanu suggestion is not viable because your PC is no longer under warranty then try the following (and Yes you touch will activate Windows that you install Windows 7 Home Premium).

    (1) download the Windows 7 proper. ISO file that includes Service Pack 1
    (Note: must match for your product key version)

  • Can I use another PC Toshiba laptop with DVD/CD to install the software on NB200?

    I'll keep with Toshiba and just got a laptop - NB200 - 11 H. Can I use the DVD/CD on another PC reader Toshiba laptop to connect with the new book of loading the software on CD? I have access to a series of Satellite P35 and a much older Satellite S2800-500.
    Thank you very much for the thoughts and ideas - it seems exaggerated to buy an external DVD/CD drive.
    Kind regards
    Laurie

    Yes! On the laptop with DVD/CD player 'Right click' on the DVD drive in "My Computer" and go to the properties and enable sharing. Make sure your 2 computers are on the same network. On the NB200 in the 'My Computer' in address bar type \\yourcomputersname(the one with the dvd), and then open the folder called example. "D" assuming that your dvd drive is the D drive.

    Hope this has helped.

  • Get a new laptop Win7 for dual boot with Win8

    So I bought a new laptop with Win7 installed in it and decided to take advantage of the offer low cost upgrade Win8 - just in case. I am unwilling to well to commit myself to Win8 yet but I'd like to tinker with it anyway, and so I tried to create a dual boot on another partition that has failed because of the disk being style GPT.

    Now, after reading a bit, I have this: I would be able to delete existing partitions and reformat the MBR disk and then reinstall Win7 (since a recovery DVDs) in that new partition and then install Win8 after that on a second partition? Would this work (as to not to hurt the disk itself) and get my system dual-boot for both of them?

    Windows 8 Pro license is an upgrade, so you are not able to even dual boot with it in any case. You can not install Windows 8 Pro upgrade on a blank partition.

    You can try with below steps if you want:

    Folder Temp light 1).

    (2) close all running Applications.

    (3) close webistes all opened browser.

    (4)disable the firewall temporarily.

    (5) open only Adobe Web site as it is safe and secure site free of all kind of threats.

    (6) then try to download CS 6 Design Standard and check.

    Note: Though the firewall is disabled. do not open applications, files or even other Web sites.

    Or if you think it is still very slow and would not turn off the firewall , you can try with 3' rd party like download managers: IInternet Download Manager , which is more efficient than the browser built in downloader.

  • Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

    I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

    I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:

    Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

    • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
    • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
    • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
    • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

    It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

    Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

    And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

  • New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. How do I creat more than I can duel boot

    New Hp laptop comes with 4 primary partitions. They are system, OS (C drive), recovery and HP tools > how do I create a new partition so that I can duel boot withour causing the entire disk pass the dynamic that would get me no where?

    If you change something, it may invalidate your warranty. If you need to return your laptop to HP, they will just wipe the drive and start over, no questions asked.

    You must remove the HP tools or the recovery partition. I think that removing the partition on an HP tools automatically goes to sleep you out of the recovery partition.

    If you delete the recovery partition, you must make sure that you have done the set HP recovery disk and it is on quality discs and safely set aside.

    If you are planning on dual booting with different versions of Windows, make sure that Windows utility block each other. For example, don't let Windows defrag loose on the other OS partition.

  • Can I do a dual boot with Windows 7?

    After taking all the precautions I can think to install Windows 7 on my wifes laptop. Drive recovery system, backups (2 DVDs) and an image I did more than 6 DVD.

    I thought why not only reduce the Vista Partition, install Windows 7 in the created partition and run Windows 7 to see if it will work on the laptop (gives me time to straighten out things so that my wife can always use). Then remove the Vista Partition. If the laptop was mine would just reformat the dang thing and deal with what it goes down from there.

    Then there is the Question of what to do about the EISA (recovery Partition)?

    Hello!

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 and do a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista... Why not? ;)

    As you have already said if Windows 7 works well on your laptop (I put t know which model you have exactly) you can remove Vista and use the old partition to store data or to include a new in the Windows 7 partition.

    The hidden partition do you mean isn't the Toshiba recovery partition! It is a feature of Windows.
    You can remove this partition you don t he most needs.

    In addition, with the Toshiba Recovery disk, you are on the safe side. If you don't want Windows 7 you can go to Vista (factory settings). :)

    Good bye

  • Satellite C850 - 19(d) - I want to do a dual boot with Linux and Win 8

    Last week I had a Satellite C85O - PSCBWE-03200WGR 19(d)

    Yesterday, I try to make a dual boot with Ubuntu.

    I do not have a start to boot from USB, or iso CD (same choices as for the Toshiba application), and I did one on the bios:
    -Disable secure boot
    -Change UEFI CSM support
    -Save

    On reboot, I get not Toshiba logo, but a black screen with:

    «This product is covered by one or more of the following patents:...» (list of patents...)

    Realtek...

    PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable
    PXE - MOF: Exit PXE ROM
    "No boot device - insert boot and press a key.

    I can't open the Bios again at F2.

    Which I recover the system?

    Hello

    The unit has been pre-installed with Win 8 64 bit right?

    Change BIOS setting of UEFI to CSM and disabling secure boot prevent Notepad to start 8 to win!

    That's why the device cannot find the boot device and passes to the last option: LAN.
    But given that the laptop can not find bootable system via LAN, the error PXE - E61: Media test faliure check cable appears.

    If you want to use a dual boot, you will need to boot into Win 8
    Win 8 you must create a partition for installing Linux. This can be down in Win 8 disk management. It must reduce a last partition and have to create new free space available.

    Now to start installing Linux you need support... you can burn the iso on DVD or a USB bootable Linux. There are a lot of details on the internet how to create these media.
    Once you have created the bootable USB key, restart your PC with USB connected.
    Press F12 for the boot menu. Now you should see the key USB (if it is bootable!) choose USB and you should be able to install Linux (Ubuntu is great!)

    Here's a nice page that would provide the statement all step by step!

  • How to create a dual boot with Vista installed on my Satellite U400?

    Hello

    I just bought a U400 - 17 H with vista installed on the HARD drive. I would like to create a dual boot with XP Pro.

    I have only a drive HARD aleady with 2 partitions (1 for vista) + 1 for data.
    I want to cut the partition vista in two 2 pieces to install XP Pro.
    At the end I'll have 3 partitions 1 vista (65 MB), 1 xp (65 MB) and 1 data (125 MB).

    Is it easily to create a new partition ok (I guess only on vista)
    but is there a program dedicated to install another OS and create a dual boot.

    Please help me because I like many things the other way around. I'm sure it's possible, but what are the right process to have at the end of two BONES and the choice at the start of the laptop

    Thank you
    Gerard

    Hello!

    Create a new partition for Windows XP and install it. There is no problem.

    After that, you need to restore the Windows Vista boot loader. You can do this with EasyBCD. Install and start the program.
    Go to the tab "Add/Remove entries". You will see that there is only one option available in the bootloader of Vista at the moment. In the "Add an entry" section, replace the drive in the menu drop-down of C:\ E:\. Change Type "Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3" and the name of "Microsoft Windows XP". Then click on 'Add an entry' and 'save '.
    Then go to the "Manage Bootloader" tab make sure "Reinstall the Vista Bootloader" is selected, then click on "write the MBR.

    Now you can restart the laptop and you should have a full system dual boot to work.

    Good bye

  • Dual boot with Vista-XP on two discs

    I just bought A200-S01-PC and I want to dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, Vista is pre installed and I want to install Windows XP Home edition on my second drive, so I can use it for College next year.

    I tried to boot from the CD but I get an error saying that it cannot find any installed readers.

    Please I need help?

    Hello

    I don't think you can install OS second on the second HARD drive and I don't really know if this second HDD can be used as a boot device. I really don't know, but you can check it yourself. My A200 has a HARD disk only.

    But what you can do for yourself is to install Windows XP Home edition on the second partition of the first HARD drive. There is no problem and I did the same thing on my laptop.

    But back to drive HARD invisible. This has nothing to do with the dual-boot. Plese check this thread. You will find nice discussion how to install WXP when the HARD drive is not visible.

    Bye and good luck!
