Hello world
I know, there are several other threads on this topic, but I couldn't find a working solution. I currently have no OS on my DELL XPS 17 L702X. When I try to install from a USB stick bootable Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 I get this error message: windows cannot be installed on this physical drive of this computer may not support the start-up this drive make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the computer's bios menu.I've tried wiping HARD drive and reformat with GParted. I don't really know what I could do.I would be very grateful if you could help meHello
I suggest that you contact the manufacturer of the computer to change the BIOS settings and check if it is has updated the BIOS.
Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.
Let us know the results. We will be happy to help you further.

The screen of my computer no longer turns. It is supposed to run it any way, I flip the screen, I can not understand how to solve this problem. I guess a child (best case scenario) or my husband (worst case) have been involved in this. But it drives me crazy. Any ideas on how to get that back in action?
Hello
What is the brand and model of the computer?
Were there recent changes made on the computer before the show?
This issue could be due to corrupted graphics cards drivers. I suggest you to update the latest version of the drivers of graphics from the manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

Satellite A100 does not recognize the new CD/DVD drive
I bought a new CD/DVD drive for my A-100 of Toshiba Satellite age of four year old went crazy and wouldn't work.
Unfortunately, I bought a DVD of Toshiba Portege A100 / reader Combo CD - RW that is not exactly what I had before the jump that it will still work.
Unfortunately, I'm surprised because it does not recognize the CD/DVD drive at all: /...
It seems to work, and the light blinks I think that it is not broken.I just plugged it because that's the way I was told to do.
I need to download the drivers to operate?
It will work on my laptop, or is it a "most recent" CD player that will not work with my laptop?I'd appreciate any help. THX
The BIOS does not recognize this new CURIOUS because the player seems not to be fully compatible.
I think there bad master/slave/c-salt settingsAs you know these settings can be changed on the external CD/DVD drive for desktop switching jumper. But it is not possible for computers portable CD/DVD players.
You can solve it only purchase a new compatible disc.
Usually the ASP in your country could help you buy this disc of these guys here
However, you can consult the user manual if there are a few details on the compatible sides.
My user manual provides this information. -
I received a prompt on my Ipod touch 5th generation yesterday, that there is a new update of the Messenger application. So I tried to update, however, the app is now stuck on the phase "Waiting."... "and the logo has been disabled. I still get notifications of new messages from the app, but I can't open. I tried to remove and then reinstall the application but the application did not and the app store think that I always opened it. How can I fix this or return to the previous edition that worked?
Thank you in advance!
Hello cfossum,
Looks like you have problems with a third party on your iPod touch app, since the Messages belongs to iOS and you would receive separate not quickly update.
The resources below will provide some troubleshooting steps for the problem you are having with the Messenger application.
If an application you have installed unexpectedly closes, unresponsive, or does not open
Take care.

Time Capsule A1355 no light, no sound? worked this morning now after connecting it, first green light solid, quickly followed by amber is more solid, which turns off and then nothing? I'm not in the airport or if directly connected to the Macbook air utility. It is running the latest firmware, updated 7 days ago and everything was fine until now. Tried both a soft and a hard reset factory but still nothing, but the same brief glow only after restarting each time before going dark again? Any ideas if it can be fixed or if it's as I read elsewhere dead now?
Thank you
Any ideas if it can be fixed or if it's as I read elsewhere dead now?
He died... the fact that the main witness turns off is unusual in this model.
It is common to the next... A1409 (gen4)
What happens in the Gen3 is normally a few deaths on the Board... or a bunch of capacitors is low...
If yours is a very fine introduces Gen3 just before Gen 4, it is possible that the same fix on the Gen 4 could work.
I found early Gen4 may fail as Gen3 but must admit that I am yet to see the Gen3 with welding problems.
I doubt repair is worth it. The Gen3 is now about 6 years... give or take... This is way beyond the standard lifetime of a TC.
If you want to play, I'm happy to help you... but I would not spend money on it.

Equium recognizes no more CD/DVD drive.
I tried watching a DVD last night on my laptop Equium but found that the DVD is not as Autostart before.
When I went to "my computer" to open from there, the dvd player was not there.I tried many cd and DVD in the drive, but still nothing. Even when there is nothing in the drive, it still does not appear in 'my computer '. The last time I looked or whatever it be played on it was 2 weeks ago, so am not sure when this problem started.
Is there a driver I can install to restore my dvd/cd drive?
Thank you.Yes, it would be really interesting that you´ve of application installed recently. Most CD writing programs can also cause the phenomenon of 'lost reader', but I think these Microsoft the previous user link should help.
Otherwise, a resumption of your machine would be essential.
