L10W satellite cannot boot from any device

Background;
I bought this laptop for my daughter, a she used it for several months.
Two days ago, she got the message "reboot and select appropriate media.
Given that the laptop is not under warranty, and I am in this area for a long time I decided to tackle the problem myself.

Opened the case, removed the hard drive, plugged into my office.
Standard battery of tests, no problem found. The reader looks perfect.
To be a good side, I made a trip to a local store and got new hard drive.

Plot:
Installed the HARD drive in the laptop, connected my USB DVD with Win8.1 and got the same
message "reboot and select proper support."

In the BIOS, we will. BIOS is so rudimentary that it does not show if she has connected disk.
Reboot, F12 (boot sequence) - shows both drives but does not start.
Copy DVD USB with the windows tool.
Once again "reboot and select appropriate media.
F12 shows hdd and usb but "reboot and select proper support.
Insert the floppy disk in another laptop. Run install. smooth.
Back to L10 and you guesse it-"reboot and select appropriate media.

Question:
What the * ell is happening? Can anyone help?

I know this is an old post... is 'safe start' enabled in the firmware (BIOS) UEFI? If this is the case, it will be a security check before you load a previously defined in the firmware operating systems.

Also, I'm interested in how you have replaced the hard drive. Is it easily accessible? I removed all the screws, I can see on the back of my friends, but can not get the cover off.
Advice would be appreciated.

  • HP Pavilion 500-210 QE cannot boot from any hard drive.

    Good evening. As you can see on the subject, my computer just cannot boot from any hard disk that I put on it. I tried swapping the power supply, SATA cable, reset the BIOS, allowing the start legacy, changing to AHCI to IDE and RAID...

    When I get to the BIOS Setup, I see the hard drive and its features, but it will not start or show when I am trying to install a new OS. I'm not an expert, but I think that the problem could be in the motherboard SATA ports, but I'm not sure. Just to be sure, I tried another harddrive and it did not work as well.

    I was also thinking to buy a HDD external and installation of my OS on it, but I don't even know if it is possible and I would really like to have my computer working again.

    Thank you for your attention!

    Ok. That doesn't say that it is very likely that the motherboard has problems.

  • X200T not boot from any device after updating the Bios v3.00

    Hello

    I recently updated my bios to the latest version, the v3.00 X200T and now it does not start from any device - everything I get a blank screen after the initial bios starts upward.

    The bios seems functional and it recognizes all the devices I attached, as well as the internal hard drive. However no matter how to start the machine it does not start. I tried to set the boot order in the bios, using F12, F11 for recovery, remove the internal HARD disk, used all the USB ports, etc... -all I get is a blank screen after the initial splash screen.

    No beeps to indicate any problems, and I tried to reset the default settings of the bios, remove battery & power - all to nothing does not.

    Any ideas?

    I updated the bios of many laptops and desktop computers in the past, but this is a new one on me...

    I hope someone can help.

    It seems that it also happens to X 200 owners who upgrade to version 3.01 of the Bios.

    mc2sgp has posted a response in this forum that worked for me:

    "I have the same problem and found the way to a temporary solution."  Go into the BIOS (you should always be able to press F1 to go into the BIOS) and go to Config-> CPU Intel VT - d characteristic of-> and disable it.  You should now be able to start normally in your operating system. "

    At least, I can now start my camera.

    Hope this helps others.

    ADMIN edit: tagging this post as the solution to guide others to the bypass.  Lenovo will remove the BIOS on the web and replace it with an updated version that resolves these symptoms as quickly as possible.

  • Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

    My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

    In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

    Hello

    Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
    Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

    Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
    Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

    Good day

    Hello

    Most modern distributions should be able to start using the UEFI.
    However, you forgot to mention what distro you are using.

    I assume that your pressing F12 at startup to get the start menu, verify that your key is recognized and select to start him?
    Which means that it fails? No not at all, start it begins to start but fall into problems... ?

    Please clarify the situation.

    As in advance,
    Rob (Wildspoor.nl)

    Hello

    In order to boot from external sources (CD or USB port - flash memory stick), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    There is also a startup mode option (UEFI).
    In case the new (Linux) system would not support UEFI mode, you must change this mode of CSM.

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Satellite M40 (PSM42) - boot from USB device

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
    Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

    First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
    Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

    From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
    I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
    Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
    I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

    In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
    This means a failing drive?
    What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

    By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
    The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

    Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

    When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

    Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

    Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
    You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
    If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

    If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
    One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

    > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

    > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

    As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

    > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

    The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

  • Satellite NB10t-A-101 refuses to boot from any external media

    I just bought a NB10t to the United Kingdom and try to boot to a bootable USB key

    I noticed that the BIOS on this particular model is UEFI mode only, which, in itself, is not a problem because users can sign their own operating systems with a certification authority and use them, but this laptop refuses to boot from any external environment... or even to provide an error message.

    I changed boot priority in the BIOS and USB moved up
    I disabled the Secure Boot option in the BIOS
    I tried all 3 USB ports as well as 3 different drives (NOTE: THESE WORK FINE ON the 3 OTHER SYSTEMS, a dell desktop/laptop computer and a computer acer laptop)
    I also tried different distributions (Debian & Arch)
    I used several installation methods (hard install of Unetbootin/Full/Rufus etc...)
    I tried all your currently released BIOS versions (delivery with V1.0, V1.1 - Jan Feb - V1.2)

    After trying all these when you press F12 at startup, the shows start menu but when you select a device, the system continues to initiate (Win8) HARD drive

    After Googling around, I noticed that you have unlocked 2 BIOS updates I tried all versions of these and still the system refuses to boot in my selected device

    Can we expect more updates of the firmware in the near future? Is there a way to work around this problem to start my chosen OS? Is there an option of CSM?

    Hello

    You can't disable booting from a boot device.
    You can simply change the boot order in the BIOS.

    If you don t want to start, for example: USB, just put the HARD drive as first boot device.
    Now the laptop will boot first from the HARD drive. If it isn t HARD (because of missing systems) bootable disk, the BIOS will pass to the next device, IE: CD/DVD player
