• can of boot from hard drive (bootable on Dell 8500) on Dell 8700

  My XPS 8500 had a problem of MB/CPU, then bought a new 8700, but when I move the 8500-hard disks (good) 8700, but 8700 can't see the OS on 8500 hard drives (Windows and Linux), can I configure 8700 BIOS to make the hard drive of 8500 bootable on 8700? If possible, how? Thank you.

  8500 XPS BIOS is default of type "Legacy", while the XPS 8700 is default "UEFI".

  You can try to change the BIOS on the XPS 8700 to inheritance (and/or the Legacy OPROM option). And you should probably disable Secure Boot too.

  That said, the 2 systems have very different processors and chipsets, so you will not be able to boot from the old HDD without having to reinstall Windows.

  Why don't you just try to install the old HDD as secondary in the XPS 8700 drive so player you can save your files? And then install all your Windows software on the new HARD drive that came in the XPS 8700?

• I can't boot from HARD drive or CD/DVD - drive Satellite C

  I want to recover my laptop & I need to boot from the CD-ROM.

  PLEASE HELP ME

  > When I connect bios hard drive has been detected but not available in the boot priority menu. Just the network card was there & now I can't boot from smoker hard drive cd/dvd.

  This means that the HARD drive or CD/DVD drive appears in the BIOS boot option?
  Strange, what model of laptop do you have?
  Have you tried default BIOS?
  Otherwise this (press F9 and save the changes to the BIOS)

• Tecra A2 - boot from HARD drive external

  Hello everyone,
  I am trying to install a Linux on an external USB HDD and boot this drive. What is a configuration?
  Can I boot from a USB Memory Stick?
  Thank you very much.
  Stefan

  Hello Stefen

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD disk drive. It is not supported in the BIOS.

  I'm not sure of the USB but I saw a short period in the electronic store that memory USB sticks with description Bootable. I have one and I can't give you a good answer to your question.

  Good luck!

• Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

  Hello
  I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

  I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Concerning
  Norbert Ruessmann

  Hello

  A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

  I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

  Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

• Unable to boot to HARD drive or disc - blue screen Vista: 0 x 50 or 0x7E

  I can't start Vist from my drive hard or with the installation disc. Boot from the HARD drive gives a blue screen with the error 0x000007E code and boot from the drive allows me to launch the recovery program, but once I click NEXT for the first time, it goes to a blue screen with error code 0 x 0000050.

  I saw a lot of people have had these errors when the computer is running, however, I'm not able to start somehow, not even in safe mode, last known good configuration, etc.. I also tried to clear the CMOS with no luck.
  Any help would be appreciated.
  It starts very well when I got to work last night, but won't do a thing tonight.

  Hey Ross,

  Unplug all external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and check if it can boot up to the desktop in all modes.
  If this is not the case, contact the manufacturer of the system for more help.

  Hi n m,

  Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

  I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

  You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

  Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

  Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that has initialized the hard drives: "this computer's hardware can not supported booting from this drive.

  Hi @kvartsnorsk

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

  What happens if I do not see my operating system?

  On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.

• How to create a recovery media from HARD drive recovery image?

  When I tried to recover a fresh HARD disk recovery Windows, my little son stopped the proccedure by accident.

  When I tried to reboot I get the message bootmgr is missing. I have a copy of the HARD drive recovery file but din not creating a restore DVD.
  The question is if I do a recovery bootable DVD or USB of file file from the HARD drive recovery file?

  Thank you!!!

  There is a method to create the USB bootable recovery DVD or ISO file - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm, but I put t think this will help.

  Problem is that this backup is really unnecessary. There is also possibility of installation of recovery disk original order. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• How can I delete file from HARD drive recovery?

  I burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder and would now like to delete the original folder on my hard drive that I need the space.
  Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to make changes to the file.

  Any suggestions? (I'm a noob in vista)

  Thank you

  > burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder
  I think this will not help you if you would try to recover this file of HARD drive recovery once again!
  You need a recovery disk! This disc would only create a HARD disk partition once again!

  This means that you must create the recovery disk, first using the Toshiba recovery disc creator! This tool is preinstalled!

  So after you have created a successfully recovery disk, you can try to delete the folder from the HARD drive. But to be honest, I don t recommend this I want to say that this folder can be very useful in the future in case something goes wrong with your system

  However, I think that you cannot delete it because you don t have permission to admin
  You can try to disable UAC first
  Disable UAC is as easy as start > run > msconfig > tools > disable UAC > Ok.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you want to remove all of the hard drive except the OS.

  Please follow the methods.

  If you have only one partition, in this case you will need to manually remove data that you don't want.

  To uninstall the programs that you do not use, see the link.

  You can also run Disk Cleanup tool, that helps you free up space on your hard drive

  See the link.

  If you use multiple partitions, you can go ahead and format drives, except the partition where you installed OS.

  NOTE: formatting the drive will remove all data and software installed on your computer.

  Hello

  Ways to reinstall Vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  ________________________________________________________________________

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

• How can I recover my files from hard drive on a clean hard disk, Diskpart

  I tried to install Windows 8 Preview, however, I kept getting a message saying that Windows is to not install the disk hard because it was in the GPT format or something. When this happened, a forum on the internet suggested that I use DiskPart to clean the disc. I did as he said, not realizing that it would literally clean off my hard drive. I am trying to use another hard disk and install a (overview of Win8) OS on it so that I can access the old hard drive and retrieve it using a program called TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

  I hope that it will work, but I would like to comment on this and maybe some VIP tips.
  At this point, any advice is good advice.
  Thank you

  First of all, I would highly recommend NOT to use Windows 8 for your recovery efforts.  New systems of operating have incompatibilities with the generation previous tools and utilities - witness to the fact that all of the major anti-virus companies update their products to Windows 8.  Stay with a published known operating system.

  Then, realizing that what you do for the old hard disk decreases the chance that you will be able to recover the files.  You would ideally take the disc, put it in an antistatic bag and ship it to a recovery company data that you would charge probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover your data, but was probably a chance of recovering 100% as long as the player has not been written to since the diskpart session.

  Having never been in the position that you are in because my computer gets backed up every night, I can't recommend a recovery product based on personal use. I've seen a good many people recommend Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) and it would probably do the work for you... but remember once again, play you with the reader, becomes it is likely that you will not be able to recover at all.
