• Qosmio E10-102 - cannot boot from CD/DVD

  Hello

  I have a laptop Qosmio E10-102 here. The hard drive is missing and I need to install the operating system on a new hard drive but I can't boot from CD/DVD. After the start of Qosmio screen, it shows "insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready... ».

  When I press F1, I get the 1.5 version of BIOS ACPI boot menu, but I can't change date, time and the password. The boot priority is HDD-> FDD-> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 during initialization, but this has no effect. Even by pressing the 'c' key, the disc does not start.

  I tried to put the hard drive in a laptop and install there, but detects the Windows installation disc, that's not Toshiba laptop.

  No idea how to fix?

  Hi Napto,

  The CD/DVD drive is correctly listed in the BIOS? You see the model number of your player? Usually, this should be possible

  And what installation disc, you are starting? You use Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Maybe the current disc is scratched

  I don't have the recovery CD anymore but I am trying to boot from the CD with a CD of Windows XP and I changed the priority to boot from CD first in the BIOS and it always displays this message... Help, please!

  Hello

  Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.

  I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

• Cannot boot from Win 8.1 installation disk

  My mother has a Dimension 3000 system that works under XP and now I am trying to install WIndows 8.1 so that she can use banking online again. The problem is that it does not start from the installation disc.

  I have upgrade BIOS A03 and update all drivers using the driver Booster 2. Now the system is set at the first start of the CD-ROM, then HARD drive but it ends to always boot from the HARD drive. I'm at about 400 km, so I'll try to help him by phone. I tested for a start from the disc on my own XP and haven't had any problem so the drive is fine. I also ran the upgrade on its system Wizard, and everything was fine.

  I don't understand what is wrong, no matter who?

  bgtb

  Thank you. OK, so the problem is dimensions 3000 cannot boot from a DVD, only a CD?

  Since that she already bought (32-bit OEM) license and opened it, I doubt it will be returned, so I would try to make work in all cases, if that doesn't work I'll have to get a new PC.

  If copy us the contents of the DVD on a USB maybe we can boot from that? I'll give you a call tonight.

  The system is 10 years old... BIOS A00 - August 2004. The latest version of the BIOS is 8 years old February 2006. This system may be too old to be able to boot from USB.

  Other problems exist, the standard installed memory was of 0.5 to 1 GB, 1 GB is minimum requirements so it may also need to be upgraded.

  As mentioned in the video, Intel 82865 G is not supported by Intel for Windows Vista or later. For Vista/7, there are a few things that you can use so that it can work, but even then not very much. It will only use the generic driver for Windows 8.1 and the screen will be blurred.

  In addition, the systems hard drive is IDE and probable with a low capacity. The hard drive being the most likely component to fail and this type is no longer under production.

  So at least you'll need a DVD player, probably some memory and a video card. Even in this case the system doesn't always works well. I recommend wasting money in upgrading such an old machine. For the price of all these improvements, you can buy an OptiPlex 760/780 opportunity on eBay that come with a license of Windows 7. As you have already purchased the Windows 8.1, you could same source on an OptiPlex 745/755 and use your Windows 8.1 this license. All these systems will perform much better than the Dimension 3000.

  Of course, you can also look to a new system, the new Dell Inspiron is very cheap and can be done for $230:

  http://www.Dell.com/us/p/Inspiron-3646-small-desktop/PD?OC=fdcwnt7101h&model_id=Inspiron-3646-small-desktop

  While it is a low-end model compared to the Dimension 3000, it is a significant improvement.

• Booting from CD/DVD

  Hi all, I have problems with my HP Pavilion g6-2390sa Windows 8, I am trying to boot from a DVD of windows 7.

  I activated the CDROM boot, options of the legacy also and the DVD/CD internal as primary boot device in the options of the efi and the legacy.

  When I boot the system I press the F9 key to selection of the boot device, but the CD/DVD drive is not listed?

  Internal DVD/CD was registered mysteriously once but since I restarted it is no longer present in the list of boot devices, and I did not change between the two BIOS?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, btw the DVD player works perfectly under windows 8 and I have bootable media in the drive.

  Thanks in advance G

  Hello:

  That's what I'd do...

  It seems that you have changed the BIOS settings to boot from a dvd according to the link below... but it does not hurt to take another look on this.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

  What I would do, is to download the W7 ISO from the link below - DL version of W7 that sits on your DVD, the ISO Microsoft USB tool allows you to set the ISO to a flash drive, see if you can boot from the flash drive and use the product key from your DVD.  For this, you will need a 4 GB or more large USB flash drive.

  Hey Buddy,

  Usually, there is nothing of what you can do to get rid of this.

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but I would like to contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Guys can you help to swap the drive. :)

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  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.

   

  I hope this helps.

• under win8.1, how to boot from a dvd using UEFI on a hp 700-109 c desire?

  I installed a Kingston ssd 120 GB in the 700-109 c and you want to use clone drive ACRONIS to reduce proportionally the 2T dirve to the win8.1 120 GB and boot from there.  I can't activate the legacy in BIOS support because the software warns UEFI to boot from the disk of destination after the migration, must be enabled before we start the cloning process.   However, I am not able to boot from the dvd Kingston (ACRONIS) with secure boot UEFI active.  How do I proceed?

  Hello

  Cloning of the HD under Windows 8 is sometimes problematic. You must disable Secure Boot and turn on legacy mode. Your PC should reboot. I can boot Windows 8 as well in Legacy and UEFI mode with my HP laptop that the use of Windows 8.

  As a side note, usually with UEFI, you will need to insert the CD, and then the PC power cycle for UEFI to recognize an eligible UEFI device such as a CD or USB flash.

  A problem you will encounter is that the bootloader of Windows 8 will demonstrate to the sata hard drive after the clone so it does not start. Another possible cause is that the HP recovery partition is not going to work. Don't forget that you have a set of HP recovery or USB flash drives.

  Paragon makes one a great migration and cloning for windows8 utility which also contains a boot corrector function to manage the windows bootloader question. It is 8.1 compatible window is available for $12.   There is even a video available.

• How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

  How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

  You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
  first push.

  How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
  motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
  BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
  the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
  for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
  There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
  your system documentation or check with your provider.

• Cannot install the boot from the DVD - OEM of Windows 7 (full)

  Generally, I am able to reset the priority of readers, so a computer will boot from a DVD.  It's my first time on Win7 and I can't make it work.  Insert the disc in Windows (XP currently installed - 'not real') indicates the drive is not compatible with this version of Windows.  I thought that booting from the DVD would help, but I'm prompted to "press any key to boot from the CD/DVD" and every time he ignores me and goes backward to boot from the XP/hard drive.

  At this point, I tried to affect the CD/DVD drive that all the priorities, not only the first condition.  I tried to use the other DVD player because there is another - still no luck.  Isn't this updated software in place to work this way?  It should be bootable, no?

  Thanks for any help...

  Here's a question I would ask. Your computer is 64-bit compatible? If it isn't, it's probably one of the reasons why you would receive this error message. Please run the Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is ready for 64-bit.

  Hi the prey,

  ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

  You should check the settings of the computer BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) to boot from the CD/DVD. Check the manual or the support of the computer Web site for the same.

  Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  Run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is compatible to install Windows 7.

• Boot from USB DVD on Lenovo X121e

  Hi, any idea how to boot from a recovery disk from Lenovo for Windows 7 on a USB stick on DVD player? The laptop is running cannot run from the Linux operating system. The BIOS utility does not recognize the drive no matter what I select in the start menu (USB, CD, USB FDD or USB HDD) and the F12 boot utility also does not recognize the drive. Incidentally, F12 recognizes the Linux USB drive so I know it works. The external drive is a Leicke DVD R/RW DVD.

  The reason for wanting to boot from the Windows 7 recovery drive is to reinstall Win 7 on a new installation, dual boot Linux (Mint), and then install iTunes on WIn 7so I can sync to my iPhone and run everything in Linux. I tried to use an emulator under Linux but unsucessfully Win.

  I noticed that this question was asked IO a few years by another Member, but no resolution. Thanks, Nik

  Hello

  in order to perform a recovery of the factory of the Lenovo image BIOS Setup menu settings should be:
  -"Boot UEFI/Legacy"-> "both".
  -"UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority"-> "Legacy first.

  Select CD USB as a bootable drive.

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) boot from CD/DVD to install Win7

  Looks like this ain t going to go quietly.

  Problem 1
  I get this error message when I set the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD then the HARD drive and install Win7

  Windows did not start because the file
  \System32\hal.dll is not installed or is corrupt please reinstall

  I ve discovered that l n nor Win7 or Vista use it, so I m assuming it is a blocking when I upgraded to Win7 Ultimate to XP Pro?

  Problem 2
  I get the error message when I set the BIOS to boot from the HARD drive and the CD/DVD

  Windows has a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer

  This error can be caused by disconnecting a device of removable storage, such as a USB external drive while the device is still in use, either by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM that fails. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

  FILE: \boot\BCD
  STATUS: Oxc00000e9
  An unexpected i/o error has occurred

  Did I miss something in the installation of this new HARD drive?
  Anyone has any ideas what's wrong?

  Should I think about cloning the HARD drive to the new HARD drive and then just stick the new HARD drive in the computer?
  I have a copy of XXClone who claims he will do this and make sure the new drive is bootable so is it worth it?

  Thank you

  Installation of Win7 on an A120 can be difficult.

  Have you updated the BIOS?

  What is the size of the HARD drive?
