In the BIOS boot order stopped showing my external DVD player

I use a laptop HP Compaq presario V3000 series, model no. V3018TU. I use a DVD drive with her as my internal DVD player does not work properly.

External DVD drive functions correctly after windows starts. The problem is that he displayed in the boot order. I want to install Ubuntu alongside with XP. I am not able to give priority to installing Ubuntu on boot as it is not showing in the boot order. After starting my laptop, it starts to load XP.

That's what I was doing just before this problem arose. Everything was fine. I was installing Ubuntu along side Windows XP my laptop and in-between the installation got stuck and my hard drive was not working when I rebooted, I made my hard drive to work somehow and then I found another problem, i.e.my external DVD drive is not showing in the boot order. All the other things i.e.my hard drive, internal DVD player (does not work correctly) etc., appear but except for my external DVD player. I need my external DVD player to display in the boot order to install ubuntu.

Help me fix the problem. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dominic,

    Are you able to get into BIOS to make changes?

    If so, you can try to reset the default settings of the BIOS and check.

    NOTE: 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.

    You can also try to remove all external usb devices that can be connected to the system and start-up and see if the system boots.

    Hello:

    I wish I had my PC from the hard drive first starts to shave milliseconds from startup time.

    You don't need to change the boot order to reinstall Windows.

    Have the Windows CD/DVD in the drive.

    Restart the laptop and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, press the F9 key to get the length of a boot menu options.

    In this menu, select the DVD drive (or multibay if no DVD player is listed) and press the Enter key.

    Watch the screen for additional instructions.

    Hello

    You start the computer look at the screen for configuration/settings keys to enter to the BIOS-
    often F2, Esc, DEL, or other. Many computers have also keys in boot option, often
    F12, to set the boot sequence without entering the BIOS.

    For specific instructions control with Support HP, their books online, and/or

    This day-

    1 disk hard disconnected; no luck

    2 disconnected memory in different order (2 sticks of 4 GB each); no luck

    3 tried another power supply; same thing

    4. tried a different keyboard/mouse; no luck

    -When I removed both sticks of memory, had beeps acknowledging memory was gone

    -When I didn't have a keyboard is plugged in, it recognized keyboard missing

    Suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Darryl

    The steps you have taken to solve the problem would lead me to believe that the motherboard no longer works correctly.

    You observe a code flashes when you press the power button? a flashing red button would indicate systemboard failure.

    On-screen error messages?

    You can try to recover the BIOS. Follow the procedures on this document from HP web compared to the version of the BIOS that has your PC. In case of recovery of the BIOS, then all should be well. If this isn't the case, then it is time to get a replacement PC. You can recover data from a hard drive on the computer when you install in another PC under Windows.

  • Portege R200 cannot set on the BIOS boot sequence

    Hi all.

    Our R200 entered mode of hibernation after that the battery power is low, then by some unfortunate twist of fate, the battery got deleted accidentally. Now it does not start correctly because every time it displays a BSOD stating Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

    I could solve this problem easily by disabling the hiberfil.sys file, which is the reason for the BSOD, if only I could change the boot order. Unfortunately, enter the BIOS, I am only able to access the first page where the only editable elements are time, date, and passwords. Pressing Pageup and Pagedn does nothing. The BIOS is updated to the last appearing on this site.

    Pressing F12 or F2 when the toshiba logo and icons appear does nothing no more. It's a HARD disk 1.8 "and there are no adapters available in our region. I can boot from a CD if and only if I take the HD. But then, it is useless since I can't fix it like that. It is not recognized if I it reconnect after booting. When I reboot, it does the BSOD thing again. It is becoming a frustrating cycle.

    I scoured these forums for other ways to boot from the CD and apply the suggestions, like hitting 'c', nothing helps.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • In new style bios boot order

    I have a new laptop Win 8 HP4540s that totally confuses me when I try to create a boot order that will allow (in order) optical drive DVD, USB drive, on Board HDD.

    First of all, I did a lot of changes to BIOS, I can't think of a return to the default settings would be a desirable course point - please help.

    Then, perhaps offer advice how to achieve my goals.

    At present, the cell F9 boot order is:

    OS boot manager

    Laptop Ethernet IPV4

    Laptop Ethernet IPv6

    Boot to the EFI file

    Left alone, the system starts the Win8 operating system

    Why boot from DVD or USB memory stick, we use the Acronis boot disk (or USB drive to memory to create a full image of HARD drive for security purposes.)

    I wish I had a technical paper on the BIOS settings

    Hello

    There is not a perfect solution yet but I'm hoping that HP creates one for your situation.

  • In the BIOS boot device options

    Hello

    I want to use my USB to be bootable since my laptop Winxdows XP.  When I go to the BIOS to change the settings,

    the Boot Options available are:

    Startup CD-ROM (ENABLE)

    Boot disk (ENABLE)

    (DISABLE) internal network card boot

    BOOT ORDER

    USB disk on key

    USB floppy drive

    CD-ROM ATAPI CD/DVD drive

    Portable hard drive

    USB hard drive

    Network card

    Please indicate which of these Boot Options should I 'ACTIVATE' and

    that the boot ORDER should I choose to be at the top: -.

    1. If I want to boot from my USB key USB

    2. If I want to boot my Portable external hard drive

    3. If I want to boot from my CD/DVD Rom

    4. If I want to boot from my laptop

    The "boot" of Word to say 'start' in language computer, right?

    So if I chose to boot from my USB key, my laptop cannot start to load Windows XP because it normal would be more until I go back to the BIOS to change the setting?

    Why cannot it not auto answer to the user's choice to start the Windows?

    BTW, what does "Starting the internal network card" means?

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    To see if you can boot from a USB key, you must go into your BIOS and look at the boot order.  If you see "USB stick" in the list, then you can probably - but it should be placed in the order before the drive hard to make it work.

    If you want a boot disc/USB drive for repair purposes, I highly recommend the free Hirens Boot CD.  This CD comes with a bunch of diagnosis and repair integrated tools.  If you can't fix it with this CD, it cannot be fixed without having to reinstall Windows.  Of course, this is not Microsoft.

    Download Hirens: <> http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ >
    Don't be fooled by the fake download links.  The correct link is a file .zip downstairs in a light green rectangle with a drive icon.

    There are instructions to create a Bootable CD and bootable USB Thumbdrive:

  • Hibernate mode overrides the settings of the BIOS boot

    I put my Home Premium 64 k of win7 Hibernate version and inserted a bootable CD in the drive. To restart, I expected the boot CD. But what happened is that the machine is out of hibernation in Windows - just what I wanted to happen.

    I thought that hibernation has written information in the system of Windows startup saying restore the system running from the hibernation file, that would happen after the start of the C: drive. The BIOS is set to give the priority of CD player on the hard drive and it works very well after a shut down Windows. So how the hell manages it to wake up from hibernation? And how can I stop it?

    I know not what you ask.
    Hibernate and wake-up process is part of the ACPI specification and uses the S4 power state.  I know that when the machine is re-fueled the BIOS performs the normal boot process, but exactly how he 'knows' is an interesting question.  I don't know if a flag is set in the CMOS when the S4 state is applied or it checks the hard disk of the existence of hiberfil.sys and the flags of the State has put out there.

    It could be explained here-

    Hello 2whlgeezer, I have this exactly the same model system and have no problem see the screen Logo of HP where it displays options to access the BIOS and other boot options. I can press the F-10 and enter the BIOS.

    Can advise you if you see something on the screen at all?

    You can try by pressing e key F-10 immediately when the system boots, even if you can't see anything on the screen and see if it will enter the BIOS and display a picture on the screen.

  • Satellite Pro U400 BIOS update failed - what is the BIOS Boot-block access

    My last update of the BIOS has failed and my laptop PSU45E PrU400 Satellite is now out of use.
    I want to use the recovery disk of crisis with a USB floppy drive, but I don't know the key combination to run the boot block.
    Is that someone can help me?

    Best regards

    Hello

    I was wondering what crisis recovery disk you have?  :|
    In my experience the special drive is required, which is available only for ASP technician
    That's why it of necessary to contact the ASP in your country to reflash BIOS.

    In my opinion you shouldn't t try recovery disks of the crisis who loves you in the net, it can drive to the mobo damage

  • Add the entry to the Bios boot

    I'm looking to restore the boot entry uefi but having problems to find in the bios

    https://www.Thomas-Krenn.com/en/wiki/Restoring_UEFI_boot_entry_via_motherboard_replacement_or_BIOS_u...

    No idea how to do this on a Thinkpad P50?

    The Bios Lenovo does not allow you to add a boot entry. This is necessary if you restore a hard drive using imaging software, without it, you are unable to start the system restore.

    Edit: included more details

    The imaging program that I use is dd on linux. The dd command not the installer boot uefi entries.

    I run currently 3 separate BONES on 3 discs (the joy of owning a P50). I managed to find a way to add entries of uefi boot in Windows. The program EasyUEFI (http://www.easyuefi.com/) works perfectly.
