ePSA question Pre boot

While researching a slow start upward, I ran this test pre start of ePSA series.  There are only 98% before, I left.  I did see a very brief flash of a message which says "'waiting for completion DST".  After 2 hours, I stopped the test.  Is there a problem here?

Hi Jkorber,

Welcome to the Dell Community.

I understand that you tried to run the test of the ePSA on the computer. Usually the pre-seed assesment test should take about 5-10 minutes depending on the system configuration.  Because it is not clear how the test has been done, I would ask you to click on the link below. There the steps and the link with difficulty if an error code appears in the test.

Also, it is recommended that you disconnect all sources of power to the computer and then press on and press and hold power for 10 seconds and then plug the power supply to the computer until the test is conducted. This allows to release static electricity.

Please come back if there is any other questions. Happy to help you.

Thank you best regards &,.

    Technically, Windows installation on an external drive is not supported by Apple or Bootcamp. However, there are ways around this, but you have to find yourself, and there is no apple support for facilities that made this way.

  • ESXi Hypervisor - start of the guest on the question of booting operating system

    Hi all

    I am very new to the game of VMware and I intend to start playing with free products available and to acquire a good understanding of it.

    My question that I have currenty obtained is:

    I have my desktop PC, I intend to install 5.1 ESXi hypervisor on it and then install a version of windows as a guest operating system.

    I hope that I can set up so that when I turn on the computer, windows automatically boots - so if my wife wants to use the computer, it can still, and his experience is no different. However, I can then install several other OS and turn them as and when I need and have a good game.

    Reading through the documentation that it doesn't look like this is possible?

    I know that this is not strictly the destination of the product, but it would be convenient for me.

    Has anyone encountered this before? / You know a way to do this?

    Thank you very much

    Tom Whittle

    Welcome to the community - it is possible to have a virtual machine to run at startup of the ESXi Hypervisor but where your solution falls short is you are not able to access the virtual machines in the ESXi host console - you still need another machine to run the vSphere client so you can manage the ESXi host and access the virtual machine.

  • Tool for Toshiba to write some information about Setup / pre boot OS

  • Question - Pre Creative Cloud license

    Hello

    I got the task of doing some tidy up of estate of Adobe of the client software.

    So that everything that we bought on their behalf this year has disappeared on the cloud any good and creative, I'm trying to get a grip on their pre creative cloud licenses. Access the old LWS, I see a lot of licenses, which is great, but there is a lack a bit. How do I know that it is by getting our Finance Department to show that the customer has purchased from Adobe and marry them to the top. Its way way way out.

    Miss me essentially 2 years worth of licenses, I have dates, the quantity and the cost of what we bought, but they are not on the LWS.

    I won't be able to provide the e-mail address that ordered them that there could be several, but can provide everything.

    Any ideas what my next step should be?

    Thank you

  • Re: How to disable boot PXE 2.1 Pre on Satellite M40?

    People
    I would like to disable the PXE 2.1 Pre boot that seems to be part of the BIOS on my laptop. It's just a gene such that it expires after a while.
    the laptop is
    Satellite M40-136
    BIOS V1.70
    2048 MB RAM
    Win XP Pro operating system

    I don't see a setting in the BIOS to disable the PXE 2.1 Pre Boot. I don't think its anything to win the OS it loads at switch on before the start of the BONE.
    Anyone know a solution please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dennis

    AFAIK, you can't turn off.
    What you need to do is to change the boot order in the BIOS.

    Set the LAN as last bootable device as first boot HARD drive device. That all s that you do.

  • failure of the disk drive - pre-seed evaluation results

    Our computer gives the message "disk failure hard press f1", but he just keeps repeating this message when I press f1.

    I ran the ePSA pre-boot system assessment.  It gives a green checkmark to all devices listed on the left, but lists s/o to disk.  But at the end of the trial, he tells me that everything is ok.

    Does this mean that my hard drive is shot?  Any suggestions?

    SATA 1 is probably the optical drive.   Your hard drive has indeed failed - it would be attached to SATA 0.

    You will need a new 3.5 "desktop SATA drive to replace the defective one.

  • Claire ePSA event log

    After doing a scan of material using Dell Enhanced Pre-Boot System Diagnostics (ePSA) on an Optiplex, I found a few hardware issues, which I have now solved.

    Now, I want to delete the messages in the registry tab, but there is no option for this. How is that possible?

    OK, I thought about it myself. The journal is stored in a variable UEFI, called "DIAGEEPROM". Simply remove it. For example, to boot from CD of ubuntu live and make

    sudo rm /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/DIAGEEPROM_VAR-XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

    where the x are numbers specific to your system.

  • Flashing question mark in the Macbook Pro Retina early 2015 at startup problem

    I have the 128 GB of Macbook Pro retina early 2015 model. I bought my macbook, the year last January 2015. I am just now having problem with my mac. When I'm trying to boot my laptop it shows the flashing question mark and it does not start after that. For a while it worked, but after the update the laptop is never again.

    After reading all the articles related to this issue and even after trying it the entire process for the departure of mac. I'm not able to start.

    I tried all the normal recovery process in the process of recovery of the internet, but still it does not work for me. When I select the disk utility in the dialog box, the drive does not appear here, so I can't erase and start to reinstall the operating system.

    What should I do now? I was looking for OEM SSD, but it's very expensive. with this prize money of (here in INDIA RS - 50 k) I can get the Macbook Air.

    If please guide me on how to start the mac or what do I do next?

    Thank you.

    Frank Bsu

    We have no way of knowing exactly what you have tried that doesn't work unless you tell us. A flashing question mark boot means that your Mac is unable to locate a startup disk to boot from.

    If you haven't tried... start your Mac holding the key Option. That should launch the boot window manager have been, you can select the startup disk, and then click on restart.

    If this does not help, you will need to take the Mac for the service.

  • ProBook 430 G2: Problem of pre-start for the HP disc encryption

    Good evening

    I have a problem with the HP drive encryption. I activated it (drive encryption and Pre-boot authentication) but it took a lot of time, so I decided to do a cover (the player was not entirely encrypted). However, I still have the problem with authentication pre-seed. Is there a way to disable it? When I try to launch Windows Security Manager, I have an Assistant and the drive seems to be decrypted, so I can't disable the start-up aunthetication.

    After the reset in the BIOS settings, I managed to solve the problem

  • Boredom of pre-start to logon

    Thank you.

    Method 1 doesn't seem to be relevant, but method 2 is on the right track.  The solution was the Panel--> HP protect Tools Security Manager--> Administration--> administration Console--> security--> security pre-boot system increase (uncheck).  My ProBook now boots directly to the opening of session Windows 8, which is what I wanted.  "" It's a very steep learning curve, especially since "increase the security of the system" is a misnomer; It can actually decrease the security of the system!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum.

    I appreciate your opinion on the pre-boot authentication.

    However, I am part of a security team at HP, and I kinda disagree. Preboot authentication PBA (and the whole disk encryption) is a sound method to increase the security of the given system (physical security mainly).

    A PBA environment serves as an extension of the boot (BIOS) firmware and guarantees a secure and inviolable environment external to the operating system as a reliable authentication layer. The PBA prevents any operating system from loading until the user has confirmed that it has the correct credentials to unlock the computer. That trusted layer eliminates the possibility that one of the millions of lines of code in the OS can jeopardize privacy staff or the company data.

    If you encrypted hard drive + pre-boot authentication, data are not accessible without authentication. However, if your computer's data is not encrypted and there is no ABP if your computer is stolen or if a well informed IT guy is present in front of the machine, then all of your data stored on the computer are vulnerable and can be access even if your Windows/Linux/Mac could have user account passowrd.

    If you want to discuss this, please do not hesitate to answer. I'd like to hear your opinion about it.

    Is there another method to install the firmware on a drive formatted in the pre boot menu?  There is an administrator > download > TCP, option, but it blocks "waiting on connection" Although the IP of the machine's pings to Internet.

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the flickering and high CPU utilization issue.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
