• Failure of dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 8 on the Satellite P845t

  I tried in vain to dual boot Ubuntu 13.10 to a new Satellite from Toshiba with Windows 8.1. The laptop has UEFI. I used the two live DVD and live USB, and I tried with SecureBoot both active and disabled.

  Whenever I have the same failure. J
  UST before the next GRUB, the error message screen appears flashes briefly on the screen "error: variable 'root' is not defined". The GRUB screen appears. I tried Trying-out Installation and Installation and whenever once I have selected one of these options, then, the screen turns off and remains empty. When you use a DVD, the DVD still Purring for several seconds, before going to death.

  Out of curiosity I tried to install OpenSUSE 12.3 in the same way (with SecureBoot both enabled and disabled in turn, etc.) and stalls from installation to a similar point every time, which leads me to think that it is something to do with how UEFI is installed on the laptop.

  The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P845T about 3 months with the HARD drive replaced with a SSD.
  It came with pre-installed Windows 8, and I've upgraded to 8.1 Windows last week, shortly before trying to install Ubuntu.

  Curiously, the Windows desktop 8.1 has a watermark in the bottom right that says: "SecureBoot is not configured correctly", but that may not be not relevant for this query, such as Google search, that suggests that many people have this watermark even if SecureBoot is properly configured. And activating/deactivating the SecureBoot makes no difference for the message.

  Any help would be welcome, as I'd like to get this double-started with Ubuntu.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Can you tell me if you tried to start a direct media from a USB?
  If YES - which was / is the result?

• 'Check' media (failure) MESSAGE ON BOOT

  For the past 2 weeks, I get the following message is displayed on the system startup: "checking media (failure). The message appears twice, then the system starts normally and I didn't notice any problems with any of the applications and programs. I have not installed new software until this problem started and made no other changes I can remember. All the checks I ran showed no problem, I contacted Dell support, and their response is to re - install WIN 8 but I'm a bit wary of doing this because I fear that this will lead to other problems/questions.

  I saw the same problem mentioned on various forums for Dell and other machines, so it doesn't seem to be brand-specific, but no solution has yet been offered.
  I use a laptop Dell Inspiron 5520 with Win 8 (64-bit) and Service Cap 0.
  Any solutions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)

  Thank you very much!

  This solved my problem.
  So just to repeat what he said,
  1. press F2 right when the Dell Logo appears.
  2. use the arrow keys to move to the tab named "Boot".
  3 select with the arrow keys so that the text named 'UEFI Boot' is white font color.
  4. navigate to the bottom, where it should say Windows Boot Manager
  5. press F5 or 56, to move in the list until you get the settings like:
  Windows Boot Manager
  UEFI Onboard LAN IPv4
  UEFI Onboard LAN IPv6
  6 hit F10, then your system will restart, without this annoying message appear.
  Thank you very MUCH MathewFrancis!

• Windows 8 failure to configure, boots to blank screen.

  Recently, new laptop, changed power setting causing the boot loop. Now, when installing updates, got failure in the configuration error and loads to a screen that has easy access and the reset on the lower corners button. Nothing is visible and can not use the Windows key for any combination. Also tried to get into Safe Mode, but could not do it anymore.

  a screen that has easy access and the reset on the lower corners button.

  That's more than most.   Many see a black screen and you have to imagine the two features that you can use.

  tried to enter Safe Mode

  Using Shift - with the restart button?   Describe what happened.

• Peut only the boot without failure; A regular boot freezes on the 'Welcome' screen and fades to black

  I use an ASUS laptop and everything was smooth until yesterday earlier.  I tried to start in class and it took a little longer (stopping at the 'Welcome' screen) but I'm starting up normal and thought nothing of him.  I'm going to the House an hour later and try to start and I can just connect to Windows 7 unless I Boot safe with networking.

  I have no idea how to fix this, I have no CD, I have no Windows CD that's at my parents (and anyway was a CD to upgrade), I spent 5 hours essentially pulling my hair out try everything last night and this morning still will not work.  I am now in safe mode.

  I would like to know all the details you guys need and how to get them and I'll probably get them to you immediately because I really need my computer today.  Thank you

  Driver card mother/Chipset should solve this problem.

• Re: Satellite L350: media test failure - no bootable device insert boot disk

  I just started a new Sat L350 upward and I can not go beyond the second page that says; Media test failure and no boot device, insert the boot disk and press any key.

  I have no disc and I'm stuck,

  Help!

  Hello

  This error message appears because the BIOS didn't not find a bootable device containing an operating system.

  What of the HARD drive? Is it recognized by the BIOS?
  Check in the BIOS settings; Press ESC and F1 to access the BIOS.
  There, you should check if the HARD drive (all details of the HARD drive should appear) is recognized.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your HARD drive is dead and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.

• [HP JET 7] Macrium key bootable usb omitting 7 flow HP Tablet boot

  7 HP flow is connected via an otg cable to a 4 port non powered usb hub.  The hub contains a keyboard, mouse, and usb key.

  The recovery media is through the Macrium Reflect (that is installed on the HP Jet 7 Tablet) on a usb key.  Media is created correctly because it has been tested in another machine and it starts successfully.

  I entered the start menu of the HP 7 flow by holding down the volume key and power when starting.  In the start menu, I changed the boot order so that usb sticks/multi-utilisations are the first options in the boot order.  Secure boot has also been disabled.

  Within Windows 8.1 with Bing, I used the following to restart the Tablet and tried to boot the usb key:

  charm of settings-> change advanced pc-> update and Recovery-> startup-> restore settings
  New screen with "choose an option.
  Choose "use a device.
  EFI USB device

  On reboot, I get the error message: failure of selected boot device

  I want to make sure that the boot with a usb key works as Macrium backup is useless unless I can actually start the system up to the restoration of the image.

  Any suggestions?

  The issue is not with the software that I use.  The problem is with the tablet itself.   What is so difficult to grasp here?  As usual, I understand the question myself.

  I love how everything is never the question with the hardware itself, but ALWAYS something else.  I have been more than sufficient depth with my explanation, but the same lame attempts at a solution are presented over and over again.

  I'm done with this "useful" forum

• The BCD boot error message

  I have been through many posts about this error (and others) all pointing to a failure with the \boot\BCD, all of the different error codes file. None of the provided solutions gave me a permanent solution.

  The majority of responses indicate a HDD of aging / failing. However, I got this error on two different HARD drives with clean installs on both... twice. And I Chkdisk'ed together, and I had a PC Tech Shop guy will check no the two parameters. This error has occurred also in Win 7 and Win 10, so it's not version specific.

  I have a theory, it's maybe be able to bound, either my food is cooked or the wiring. I don't know how to TEST this theory. Any ideas?

  Hi Nutmeg30,

  • Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  • You have security software installed on the computer?

  Learn more about the test of startup failures see link below on the Dell site and check if it helps.

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=DSN_300428&isLegacy=true

  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.

  See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

• How to fix the floppy diskette seek failure at startup

  I have a Dell E520 desktop running windows 7 which has a "floppy" seek failure when I boot. My computer has 1 internal hard drive, a CD-ROM drive and a floppy drive. The problem started after I restored to the conditions of the factory settings in the BIOS Setup.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  ·         You use the floppy drive?

  Method 1: Disable the floppy drive

  Disable the floppy drive by going to the configuration of the training (don't know exactly how it's called, because it differs from the models) and selecting the floppy drive. You will then see an option to disable the floppy drive (floppy drive).

  (a) press F2 to enter the BIOS

  (b) of the devices to boot or Boot Device Priority

  (c) or set the floppy drive on disabled

  Method 2: Change the boot order so that the hard drive is listed everything first or otherwise prior to the floppy drive.

  The boot order should be as follows.

  First priority - hard drive

  Second priority - CD ROM drive

  Last priority - floppy drive

  Important: 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.

  If the problem persists, I suggest you to contact the Dell Support for additional assistance.

• How to fix the bad plist?

  IMac to my wife (OSX10.8.5) was the erratic boot or not at all. Tech Tool Pro running by an e-drive, I find "unexpected character in line 1" of a SystemConfiguration preferences.plist. Here are the first two lines of the plist:

  > com_apple_ats_name_fond. Description < / key >

  ชื่อ < string > BACK < / string >

  The precise location of the plist is the following: /Volumes/MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

  Obviously, I'm over my head here. What should I do? I want to get this computer running briefly I can export contacts and mail messages 6 000 in a form acceptable to new IiMac my wife running Capitan.

  I don't know what your issue is with this computer, so I can't say if it will change anything. It would really help if you explained what happens when you start & errors and problems that it simply, assuming that this T.T.P. diagnosis is correct is a longshot in my opinion.

  You could probably just pick up a copy of the entire system & "migrate" the user account to access the messaging or contacts on another Mac. Target disk mode can be used to make the drive to a no start Mac readable on another computer for example. You can also dig into his account and find the mail or contacts manually.

  How to use and troubleshoot disk mode target FireWire - Apple Support - you must approve cables to make use of this mode.

  You can of course delete or just move the plist - I daresay that TechTool Pro will have an option for this somewhere in his fix or repair sections?

  This plist manages many parameters of level system & network, so the operating system it will recreate with default values after you remove it & restart. I suggest that you move the file to a new location & restart incase you want to restore. TTP may simply be a mistake if not exists (I got it to do for me in the past - a Mac unbootable!).

  What state is the Mac in? You can access a user login? Is your sole purpose to access the user's data?

• How can I leave Firefox automatically starts in mode full screen (Mac PowerPC with Firefox 3.6)

  I use a Mac Mini (PowerPC) as media-computer for our Narrowcasting screen. It's an old mini with Max OS X 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.28.

  This works very well for a few years. But whenever there is a power failure the mini boots itself again and Firefox is started automatically. BUT is NOT in FULL screen. Some must use Shift-CMD-F to the mini back to full screen.

  Take a look at this addon

  It does not seem to lock some Firefox and requires manual configuration.

• Broken on my Qosmio laptop screen lines

  I can see dotted red on my screen during startup and it boot completely doesn t.
  Can u attend to this problem?

  Had the same problem with vertical blue lines dotted on a Qosmio G30 (PQG - 30F). Doesn't seem to be a problem with the hardware screen so that when the machine starts in mode safe lines missing.

  I tried to run the product recovery CD, it seems to work ok, but when I reboot the blue machine screens to halfway through loading Windows. Safe mode does not either and there are vertical blue dotted on the monitor (but not on the BACK of screen that invites to indicate the mode without failure or normal boot etc.).

  Clues?
