How to start the CD-ROM on 520CDT with no OS on hard drive

Hello
I formatted the drive on this laptop Tecra 520CDT (old, I know, but I have a use for it), only to find out that it doesn't seem to boot from the CD-Rom drive. I have more interchangeable floppy drive. Suggestions as to how I could force to start the CD-ROM (I changed the boot order in the Bios) floppy Windows or something else?
Until I do, I can't reinstall an operating system.
Otherwise, no matter how old external floppy drive works, and if what is port? It starts from parallel port?
Thank you
Jonathan

Hello

Maybe you can try to update BIOS. It's the old machine and it is not easy to say what may be the best solution for your problem. Anyway, with the new BIOS version maybe you have more success.

  • How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

    So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

    But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

    I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

    Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

    It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

    So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

    Thank you
    Stéphane.

    > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

    To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

    (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

    (a) recovery to out of box state
    (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
    (c) recovery of a custom size partition

    (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

    I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
    I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

    Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

    What do you think?

  • How to wear the Vista/Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 software after upgrade HARD drive

    Hello.

    Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

    My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

    If this is not the case-how can I do?

    If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
    Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

    I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you in advance,

    Kenny.

    Hello

    You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

    The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

    It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

    That's all. :)

  • How to start the assessment without a device

    Hello

    I downloaded the evaluation version.

    How to start the assessment without a device?

    Thank you

    DV63

    Hi DV63,

    Welcome to the Forums EITHER!

    If you downloaded an evaluation version of LabVIEW your 30 day trial must begin immediately after being invited to enter a serial number. You can choose not to enter a serial number and this will begin your trial period. I recommend that you install OR-DAQmx device drivers; It is a software that allows you to communicate with the hardware from National Instruments DAQ. However, this facility will be particularly useful because it allows you to simulate an Instrument with the measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX); This means that you can immediately start the signals in LabVIEW.

  • How to start the agent on the database host computer that is being monitored

    Hi all

    Please can I know how to start the agent on the nodes and also auto how the boot process of the agent on the server restart

    Thank you.

    I assume that you have installed your agent in the directory

    / u01/app/Oracle/agent11g/bin

    If this is correct then run the following commands

    Export ORACLE_HOME = / u01/app/oracle/agent11g /.
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = / u01/app/oracle/agent11g/lib

    PATH = $ORACLE_HOME/bin:. : $PATH; export PATH

    As a matter of fact, you need to set the environment variables separate for the agent to execute commands
    which are related to the agent. These distinct environment must be set correctly to ensure that the
    commands can be found in the appropriate directories...

    Then, run the status command emctl agent...
