Inspiron 15-ae001na: CD boot

I have a new laptop with processor i5, 1 to/8 GB Hybrid HDD and Windows 10 running.

I wanted to change the partitions on the hard drive by reducing the approximately 200 GB C: partition and create a new partition in the space created to store my data.

Using Control Panel/Admin Tools/Disk Management I ran into trouble when the minimum I could reduce C: size to was about 450 GB.

I decided to start on a CD and resize partitions of the installed software here but after creating the bootable CD, I found that I could not boot from it. I tried to boot from an authentic disk from Windows 8, but even once the computer would not boot from it.

I see that in the BIOS setup routine, there are two possible types of boot, one being Legacy.

The laptop is on the non-traditional version and I changed the boot on DVD/CD order then the hard drive...

Why the laptop won't boot from the DVD/CD drive and what can I do to make it boot from it?

  • [Inspiron SE 7720] UEFI boot from USB does not work

    Hello

    I just bought a Dell Inspiron 17R 7720 special edition. It came with a Windows preinstalled 8 (up to 64 bits and mandatory boot UEFI). I want to use Linux (specifically, Archlinux) for the work and Windows for games, so double boot is necessary.

    I'm almost finished installing Linux except for the boot loader: I need to start Linux from UEFI and has failed to do so far. Here's what I did after I got the PC:

    • Secure Boot disabled;
    • updated the BIOS to the version A12 (maybe I shouldn't...);
    • resized the main Windows partition and created a few partitions for Linux;
    • legacy startup mode and managed to start an installation of Archlinux MBR bootable USB drive.
    • most of the system installed
    • switched back to UEFI boot mode, Secure Boot off.

    At the moment, I needed the UEFI kernel startup Setup Bootstrapper to have access to the EFI environment variables. So I created an installation of Archlinux UEFI-bootable USB drive (with a FAT partition) but so far I could not able to boot successfully to this car of UEFI instead of Windows 8.

    I think I tried every single combination, such as:

    • different USB ports;
    • different startup entries created with F2 installation boot, with different parameters.
    • different commands for start-up entries;
    • has hit my startup entries directly in the F12 boot menu.

    Anything in the startmode of the system always the Windows partition UEFI.

    Also, I couldn't find any relevant documentation manual or software on the A12 BIOS on the Dell site, I missed something?

    The solution that the user described in this thread for UEFI boot on a DVD has not worked for me with a USB key.

    If anyone had the same problem or has a solution or even information about it? UEFI is really starting to give me headaches on this machine!

    Thank you for reading.

    Try to go into the Advanced Boot Options.   Hold down the SHIFT key while as a RESTART to win 8.  This will get you to a page that will have an option called "Other devices" (from memory).    Choose that and you will have all features of the device as USB. First of all give it a try and I'm sure there is an easier way to start Linus directly more later.

    Hello

    Try to install MBR mode.

    1. first create the bootable operating system

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    2. make sure that disable the "SecureBoot" in BIOS and also enable support "Roop". Probably, you will find them in the "Startup" tab If I remember correctly, "SecureBoot State" and "Boot Mode" are the parameters to change.

    3. turn on your laptop and press F12 during the logo Dell window appears and select your USB drive bootable

    4. He will lead the new copy of your new operating system.

    Hello

    We just received two new laptops from dell model as an older model parts are no longer available. We tried to imagine the WDS devices. We tried using the legacy startup options both uefi but none worked. It doesn't seem to be a boot uefi for the network boot option. When you try to run the legacy with secure boot startup option off it is just there and don't do anything.

    The bios versions

    Help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cannot configure the Laptop Inspiron 15 5559 to boot from the DVD drive

    I have a new laptop Inspiron 15 5559 .  There seems to be no way to configure the BIOS to boot from a repair disc to win 10.  After an accident on my old laptop, I know how it is important to be able to restore a disk image of my external backup.

    Help please because I do not see how to get the player optical, listed in the boot order.  It doesn't seem to be any mention of it.

    the bios is probably corrupted also not hostile user. try Googling a tutorial of bios dell for the setting of parameters for 5559. Lucky, you're not going to find one. It's not even a decent manual. the user must download the recovery files that must be installed on the hard drive before l/p of the plant leaves. the Bios is archaic and most of the time does not meet the evolution of the legacy in the uefi. you could try to update the bios, but I doubt that you will succeed even after doin so. call the tech and have them try. I did and they screwed up my 5559 and they had me reinstall the recovery of a usb drive, they sent. It helps took 5 hours to install. then another 3 hours of updates. and the 5559 still does not work properly. Maybe I got a lemon. However the subject requested, and every time I called dell every question I asked I was put on hold. what say you. He offered dell technicians, although very courteous do not know and don't have to put you on hold the Conference with other technicians or find which could help. Sorry to be critical but after over the hours on the phone most of the time on hold dell tech dept is not up to snuff.

    Do not safe mode with network. It will try to load too many drivers.

    Try mode safe mode with command prompt since it will charge just a necessary drivers. If it does, you can try the above commands.

    Only other option would be to try to start with a Linux LIVE CD/USB. (IE Ubuntu, Mint, or puppy or another other Dist you prefer).

  • Unmountable Boot Volume and then nothing.

    Hey, I reciently had a problem on my Dell Inspiron E1505 when I booted it load xp and say Unmountable Boot Volume.  Then I ran my diagnosis and it failed the DST short Test which I looked up and in most cases, it is a hard drive failure.  I got a new 160 GB HDD and installed it as I did with the last and I press the power button and the screen lights... everything what happenes is only the beginning of lights flashing... like the NUM Lock and CAPS Lock LCDs small LCD.  I reinstalled my old hard drive and it's the same thing.  That's kinda weird cuz I hadn't touched my computer because the old hard drive was ruined.  I would be grateful to anyone who helps.

  • Question of Partition of hard drive recovery Vista

    I tried to repair my Vista OS using the recovery hard disk partition.  It did not work.  Instead, my laptop (dell inspiron 1545) continue to boot normally without doing a repair.  So I guess something is wrong with my operating system may not be able to access the recovery partition, or the recovery partition is corrupted.  If I do a complete vista reinstall with the OEM that came with my laptop disks, this recovery partition will always be there or it will disappear?  If it is there, I will be able to use it in the future to repair my computer if necessary, or will it be an empty recovery partition?

    Hello

    The recovery discs are back to exactly how you bought new

    The recovery Partition is not not to make repairs; It is to reinstall the operating system configuration (new State); do the same thing as the recovery disks.

    It's the opinion of Dell on how to use their Vista recovery Partition;

    "Restore your software Computer´s factory settings."

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=DSN_336966&isLegacy=true

    Dell also has diagnostic software to solve computer problems:

    "How to run Dell 32-bit Diagnostics utility"

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=52057

    problem reinstalling windows Vista operating system.

    I'm trying to reinstall the windows Vista operating system.  When I restart and press F8 on my dell Inspiron will in the Advanced Boot Options.  I support then to fix my computer, but instead of reloading Windows Vista my computer turn on normally.  How can I solve this problem.  Thanks in advance for your support.  Valerie SG

    Why you want to reinstall your PC? It could be that you don't need to reinstall Windows, and solutions you could solve, which is recommended.

    However, if you want to reinstall your Windows, it's NOT F8, F8 key belongs to Windows and he'll fix the problems. To reinstall Windows, you must use differently for Dell steps:

  • Questions on the Dual-Boot Linux/Win8 on Inspiron 15R

    I recently got a new computer Dell laptop, Inspiron 15R, and I want to dual-boot with Windows 8 and Linux. I'm not familiar with Windows. I use Debian based Linux flavors, but I've only used the 32-bit versions on PC with BIOS (not UEFI). I never put in place a system dual boot, I usually just run Linux and one at a time unless I am running from a USB key. The laptop is running Win 8, basically, as he came. I have not updated to 8.1 Win. I have not moved all the files on the laptop yet.

    Issues related to the:

    1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

    2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

    3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

    4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

    5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

    6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

    7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

    8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

    9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

    10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

    10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

    11. how small the Windows partition can be?

    12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

    13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

    14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

    15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

    16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

    17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

    I'm sorry that there are so many questions, I always try to understand all my options before doing anything permanent. Thanks in advance for any help :)

    1. If I use "Dell Backup and Recovery", the reinstallation disks will allow me to do a completely clean install of win 8?

    No it won't be a "clean" installation This will be a facility of factory settings. i.e. Windows pre-installed drivers and preinstalled software such as McAfee. Make sure that you install Dell Backup and Recovery version 1.7.1.2 before using it. See here for more details:

    You need a DVD of resettlement to clean install, call Support Dell technique for her.

    2. relocation records re-create the configuration factory of partitioning and include backup partition?

    USB recovery will recreate the system partition.

    3. can I move the backup partition that is pre-installed in other media (I have 4 partitions for dual boot-Win8 need, root, / Home, swap)?

    You will have problems this, unless you can get several disks in your system and have a Linux hard drive and a hard disk of Windows separately.

    4. can I leave the backup partition, have my 3 partitions for Linux, no Win partition and reinstall Windows from backup partition should I have to?

    No it does not work like that, you will not be able to boot from the partition recovery making it useless. However, you can start Recovery USB.

    5. can I choose what software is installed when I create/use the backup disks?

    No, as mentioned previously this is not not a "clean" installation and drivers and software preloaded such as McAfee will be included.

    6. can I add software that I installed when I create the backup disks?

    Not unless you get a DVD to reinstall and then install all your software on 1 large Windows partition with nothing else on the disc, then use Dell backup and restore. Or you buy a premium version of Dell backup and restore.

    7. should I have the Windows product key to reinstall? If Yes, where is it? (no sticker on the bottom of the laptop)

    Integrated sound in BIOS here:

    8. can I use the product key or from backup disks to run Win 8 in a virtual machine under Linux?

    No, you cannot license is OEM and the virtual machine has a virtual BIOS which will be recognized as another computer. It will not work and you will have problems to activate product. Media created with DBaR does not work on a virtual Dell BIOS or not.

    9. can I run Windows on a Flash DRIVE (or SD) as I can with Linux?

    N °

    10. can I install Win 8 to an external hard drive?

    N °

    10. is it better to shrink the Windows partition and reinstall Windows on a partition?

    Its usually best to clean install. However, it is the DVD of resettlement.

    11. how small the Windows partition can be?

    It depends on how much you want to add. At least 20 GB however.

    12. Windows will be able to access the/home partition? If not, is there a way to set up a separate partition for/home on Windows, Linux can access? Or do the / Home partition readable for Windows?

    You can make a partition for Windows and Linux to share.

    13. do not set up the dual boot somehow cancel my warranty on the hardware of the laptop?

    No, the warranty is for the hardware and not software. Dell you normally would have to restore the system to factory settings if help you hollow troubleshooting Windows so only. They will still carry the material well.

    14. If I end up doing a boot of Linux and using Wine for Windows software, which will void my warranty?

    N ° Ditto as above.

    15 is it my laptop to change any empty not compatible equipment (possibly wireless card) the warranty on the material of the opening?

    He should be ok, as long as you don't damage it. Usually, these interchangeable parts are readily available. Confer with the user manual at the parts remove.

    16. given that the laptop came with Win 8, is it possible to install older versions of Win on it instead of 8?

    Windows 7 64 bit can be installed, but you will need a new Windows license unless it came with Windows 8.0/8.1 Professional (in this case, you can use downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional). You may have trouble with older versions.

    17. given that the laptop is equipped with Internet Explorer, can I copy this program and run it in wine? (It's really the software only Windows only, that I need, to test software)

    I don't have much experience with wine, but it is not as simple as copying a .exe for IE11.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1520, who has an unusual problem. If I press the power button, the drive light hard turns on then turns off and turns on the led Verr Num. The screen is blank. However, if I press the D button and power at the same time button, the screen turns on and goes through a color test, then it goes to a start page where I can start windows normally. It starts windows and is very well. I am also able to press power button together and function to perform an evaluation of the system prior to initialization, which takes place at the moment.

    Any ideas? Why is he not start normally with just the power button? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi stncald,

    Share the results of the evaluation of the system of pre-launch.

    Connect an external monitor to the system and press the power button to see if there is any display on the external monitor only.

    Updated the BIOS OF THE system from the link http://dell.to/1bDPDqb , then check if the system boots normally.

    You can check the link http://dell.to/176grvH to find out how to upgrade the BIOS.

    Keep me informed of the results. I'll be happy to help you further.
