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.

  • T430s: boot from an external USB DVD drive

    I wanted to change the boot sequence to boot from external DVD drive to install Win8. To access the BIOS I hit Enter (empty password I guess) but in the BIOS everything is grey: I can't make changes. What is going on?

    @kaja69...

    Rich said, you have a set supervisor password and Jin Li said, there is no default password.

    For more information on the different passwords at the BIOS level, please consult your T430s Hardware Maintenance Manual (manuals pages 36-38).

    By Community rules, discussion of passwords is a sensitive area and can risk one slows down, so please keep that in mind if/as this discussion progresses.

    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-questions

    If 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. 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.

  • 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=71179𑘋

    but 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

  • 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

  • C855 satellite can not boot from battery after upgrading W8-W10 Home >

    Hi all

    I have a problem really strang after upgrade my C855 Satellite of Windows 8 to 10 of windows. After the upgrade, I can't boot my system of battery only. With the adapter, I had no poblem.

    I bought a new battery, but it still had the same problem. Cannot start system battery only.

    The following steps, I was

    • Got the latest Bios Update
    • Used a new battery
    • Do the powerless laptop (detach battery and adapter) and hold the power button for 15-20 seonds. After that return battery and adapter
    • Do seals in my power, parameters of balanced energy vice versa

    Is there anyone who has had the same problem or can advise me?

    Thanks in advance for the help

    Hi Repairlab

    You are not alone. I currently have a C50 Sat with exactly the same problem, with the exception of the upgrade. My problem started before I upgraded to 10. Like you, I can start with the battery and using taking current, but which is rubbish for a laptop.
    I didn't upgrade the bios but the laptop does not recognize when the battery is connected and the bios update tool continues to ask for it (VERY annoying ToshIba if you already read your forums).
    I was trawl through these forums looking for a solution, but there are 0 replies on the vast majority of positions. Not even ToshIba engineers seem to have a presence.

    In any case, did you ever solved the problem, and if so can you please share?

    Thank you.

    "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.

    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.

  • 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.
