Drive 1 not found, cannot enter the bios or boot menu.

I hope you guys can help me with a problem. I have a workstation t5400. A few days ago it stopped booting. I get a disk 0 not found: Serial ATA, Sata 0. On the bios boot screen, I can hit f2 and it says its set of entry towards the top but just goes back to the drive not found error. I tried to change the cables, tried plugging the drive into another port (which I do not know is actually activated because I can't get on the bios). I know for a fact that the drive works. I replaced the motherboard battery. I wouldn't be able to get into the bios without any installed readers?

Any help would be a life saver. Thank you

Morgan.

Thank you. I unplugged all readers but that did not work at first. It took me ten minutes to realize I should probably remove the battery for a second. I finally had no error! messages and means able to enter setup. All disks have been disabled. That makes sense to me because 0 is enabled by default and it wouldn't give me a not found error if the port has not been activated and that I should still be able to access at least bott settings.

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for the help. I still want to know why he messed up.

    The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

    If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

    A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

    Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

    Hi Ivor,

    1. you receive messages or error codes when you try to start in normal mode?

    2. did you of recent changes on the system?

    Usually, you must press a key (for example, F2, F12, DEL, ESC) or a key combination whenever you turn on your computer but before Windows starts. The choice of the function key varies depending on the brand of your computer.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:

    BIOS: Frequently asked questions

    If you are unable to boot into normal mode, then check if you can boot into safe mode and let us know the results to proceed to further troubleshooting.

    You can view the following items to start in safe mode.

  • Pavilion p6 2408eb Desktop PC: cannot access the bios to boot from the disk

    Hello

    I have virus and spyware on my PC. I want to reinstall my drive c with windows 7 instead of 8.1 or at least perform a system recovery, but I can't boot from the drive.

    The only items on google I can find state I must disable secure boot and then enter the bios to set the boot order so it starts on the first disc.

    The problem is that my monitor is idle (power light flashes) when I try to enter the BIOS. I tried to type esc/f11/f1 or press del to enter bios but my monitor then is idle and never enters the BIOS or go to the windows start screen. If it recognizes clearly that I typed bios key because he won't go to the windows startup screen after that pressing said key.

    I also tried recovery windows and tool HP system recovery but at a certain point, it asks me to restart the pc and here again he is stuck at the idle monitor... I never see the start-up of the screen or the other, one that says "press x to enter the bios. My computer will always directly to the windows splash screen once I started.

    Any idea what I might try next?

    Hello

    Consult this publication article before attempting the downgrade of your PC to Windows 7. I have no recommemd making a downgrade on Windows 8 is superior to Windows 7.

    The default settings for the BIOS of your PC 8 version are: inherited and secure boot disabled.

    Erasing the CMOS memory will bring back the default values and then you should be able to start the Windows 7 installation media.

    This similar model PC will have Windows 7 drivers.

    If you have not created the external HP recovery media then you must order at HP if you decide to go back to Windows 8.

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - no driver XP 32? Cannot update the BIOS?

    As usual, obtained a computer laptop, but no recovery CD :(

    Got 32 installed XP (my Microsoft contract does not MCE) but a lot of missing drivers. Driver Toshiba page has all the drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 has only BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD - DVD firmwares, the virtual sound and drivers WI - FI!

    So I tought "Vista on this issue", but I checked the compatibility XP with Vista DVD I got a 'need to update the BIOS' (always a 1.40-2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "this computer is not supported! Laptop has only one account, this isn't permissions problem, perhaps because many drivers are not present? Can I update the BIOS in safe mode?

    What now? Am stuck with a brick of Qosmio? Without controllers LAN to say the least, I can't not fact! Drivers XP MCE does work on XP 32?

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    I found all the Win XP drivers for Qosmio G30 PQG31E!
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find the Win XP MCE drivers
    XP MCE drivers are the same drivers for Win XP Home or Pro.

    There are also some BIOS 3, 90-WIN and this BIOS is operating system independent. In other words, it works with Win XP and Vista...

    To update the BIOS the common Module must be installed

    Hello.
    I activated the quick start function that ignores the Logos and boots only from the HARD drive, but I can't enter or reset the Bios.

    I tried every combination of buttons, I can think.
    Power on + F2 does not work.
    F1, F10, F12, del, ESC, INS - all do not work

    Set BIOS to day 1, 50-win.
    Help, please.

    Hello

    To access the BIOS, you must turn on the unit first (press the power button) and immediately press the F2 key. You can press F2 repeatedly in the line to make sure that the button has been pressed.

    By the way: the Toshiba HWSetup is preinstalled on most Toshiba laptops.
    This utility provides the BIOS options and settings. So, you can change the boot order by using this tool also. You can find it in Toshiba Assist-> tab optimize

    Help, please. I copied this over from a backup and it does not open.

    How the Virtual Machine has been backed up and restored?  If Time Machine then...

    It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring VMS in all circumstances/conditions.  Also back up Virtual Machines via Time Machine of disk/time intensive and wastes a lot of space for something that may be corrupted and worthless time to restore it.  At least I would exclude the Virtual Machines with virtual machines and Time Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed and then manually copy the VMS to another location, preferably on a different physical hard drive.  So keep the user data stored in the virtual machine saved out of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis in order to always have a backup of the current user data.  If you need to restore a properly saved by VM is not as common at least you will have a virtual working Machine and data user to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine backup of the virtual machine fails.  Also take a look at: best practices for backup of virtual machine (programs and data) in VMware Fusion (1013628)

    That said, if you don't have a copy of the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk" and then to try to retrieve the data from the user, you can try the following:

    Download then unzip it (double-click on) the joint "Windows_7 - f004.vmdk.zip" file that contains the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk ' an empty logical binary measure that has been created on the metric of the existing drive and add to the Package of the Virtual Machine.  This should allow the VHD to be considered as a virtual hard drive, assuming that there is no damage to the extent of the binary left headers.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

    At this point, that the VHD has the scope necessary to show as a full disk, assuming that it is not corrupt the header in other binary extensions and can now attempt to access for the recovery of user data.

    There are several ways to try to retrieve user data.  The easy, although not necessarily work properly according to what now lack us due to replace the missing binary extensions with a logical empty measure, is trying to start the VM normally.  If the virtual machine starts up on the desk and VMware Tools load properly you should be able to copy your data to user off on a USB or slip and fall on the side of Mac or if you have a configured VMware folder then copy the files through it.

    Other methods involve starting the Virtual Machine with a Live OS ISO Image and copy files from a USB key or temporarily assemble the VHD to another Virtual Machine work.

    With the right tools installed the virtual hard disk could also be mounted as another accessible Volume through Finder.

  • U940-11N SATELLITE - cannot get into the BIOS or Boot Menu

    Hello

    I am currently in the processing you want to perform an update of the operating system on my laptop. When I bought the laptop in a well known department store, it came loaded with Windows 7, despite the operating system preloaded in Windows 8 when buying.

    I already disabled fast closing down, such as recommended elsewhere on the forum. However, after the closure of many downs and startups, based on all kinds of combination of keys to try to get the menu of boot or bios, I can't do it. It starts directly to Windows.

    I tried to boot from an aswell as a bootable USB external DVD drive.

    I tried F2, F12, F10, ESC and DEL at the start, but nothing. With pressure repeated, with continuous waiting, with the FN button, just in case... just nothing!

    Could someone provide an overview of this please?

    Hi MartinL960,

     

    Remember to make changes before this problem?

    It is a hardware problem with Dell, through my research I found that users encounter similar problem solved the problem by making changes to hard disk parameters in the BIOS.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

    Since the resolution requires the modification of the BIOS that is risky, I recommend you contact dell for more specialist on this question help
