No boot on Alienware M14x device

Hi, I got an alienware m14x I been sitting for about a year now because I could not understand how to solve this problem, and I think it's time that I solve this problem, haha.  My computer came with a drive hard seagate momentus xt 750 GB, and it ended up being damaged, so I bought a new HDD, the same that I had before (seagate momentus xt, 750 GB).  When I started the computer upward with the new hard drive in it, it says no bootable device, insert the installation disc, blah blah blah, so I inserted the Alienware windows 7 64-bit installation disk. When I did that, I got to the window of windows install, where it says "select the driver to install", and there is no options to select. When I went through the possible drivers, I clicked on "Boot (x :)), then clicked on the host usb controller 3 renesas electronics (did not work) so the Renesas Electronics 3 USB hub (did not either).»  Honestly, im lost on what to do. Any advice?

Try to jump the driver option and continue with the installation.

    The USB ports on the left side of the laptop are USB3 and does not let you install Windows from a USB device on them.

    Simplest answer is to use the ports on the right side are the USB 2.0 standard. It's really as simple as that!

  • Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

    Hello

    I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

    I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

    The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
    This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

    Any help would be great,

    Thank you

    Hello

    Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
    As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
    So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

    Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

    Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
    It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
    I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

  • VGA graphics card cannot start (Code 10) on Alienware M14x

    Recently, I deleted from my hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7 and now all my games (COD Black Ops, FSX, etc.) and other programs such as Google Earth are Mid-use freezing and I have to force to leave them via the Task Manager. There is a sign of warning next to the VGA adapter in the currency manager and I can not find suitable driver to install it with. This driver to I use to install the VGA graphic card? I tried everything from my M14x Resource CD to Microsoft and Dell downloads.

    System Specs:

    Intel Core i5 - 2.40 GHz
    Intel HD Graphics 3000

    Any suggestions?

    You are probably running on the integrated graphics card Intel HD3000.

    Generally drivers for laptop are all downloaded from the web site of the mfg, but sometimes drivers for graphics dedicated on laptops are downloaded from the mfg cards.

    I see that the four existing variants of the M14X using Nvidia GT650m, so if DELL does not include drivers for this card then use the Nvidia download below-
    Note that your M14X may use a different graphics card, so check that you have.

    NVIDIA Driver Downloads - advanced search

    No matter what the pilots are on the CD, you should check for newer versions
    on the DELL site, as the drivers on the CD are almost always up-to-date.

    If you have not done yet also get updates of Windows, but don't forget to
    block the updates of Windows to download and install the drivers.

  • Alienware M14x R2 Ram speed

    Would it not possible to change the BIOS to allow faster than 1600 mhz ram installation? If so, how would I go all this on my laptop of special running Windows x 64 Pro 10? Thanks to everyone for their help!

    The highest speed of ram that can support the Alienware M14X R2 is 1600 MHz. We do not recommend set the Bios to operate with greater speed of the ram, which would likely cause the system to crash.

  • Alienware m14x colapses R2 (Control Panel of Sound Blaster, AlienRespawn and IAStorIcon)

    Hello everyone,

    Just a few hours by my Alienware m14x R2 seems colapsing.

    I bought in September 2012 and the system worked very well since... I didn't do any system of Respawn (the application of restoration of the integrated plant) for almost two years and a half!

    A few minutes ago I was using my Alienware as I always do: nothing else, except for updating TeamViewer version 9 to 10 (I honestly don't think that could crash my system like this) and the automatic update of the Dell SupportAssist software (Besides, I don't like this program at all).

    Then, I just turned off my laptop and half an hour after that, I start getting an avalanche of mistakes whenever I start Windows. The screenshot below shows what I always, whenever I start Windows:

    I already tried to return the system to a previous time in the past (using the Windows tool), but it was not successful (and he really SAID that he was not successful).

    What am I supposed to do? Someone knows something similar after the update to the latest version of Dell SupportAssist?

    Thank you in advance.

    Because of all the errors that you have found my best recommendation will be to reinstall windows, but you can try to update the framework to see if you are able to correct the error of the Intel Rapid Storage Technology technology.

    recently, my old keyboard on my Alienware M14x died and I had to buy a replacement. not knowing about two different types of keyboards (or maybe even three), I bought the keyboard instead of R1 R2. Thus, for keys (a, s, d and e) do not work. It is anyway possible to have the keyboard does work (maybe to install drivers or reprogram a chip)? the alternative is to get the correct keyboard, which will cost money and time. Thanks for any help.

    Unfortunately there are no drivers that can make the keyboard to work. I will recommend you to sell one and try to get one for the M14XR1.

  • No boot after factory reset device

    Hello dear forum members.

    I have a problem with my Satellite L50D-B-15Z p/n: psule.

    So I decided to return to the original factory condition. After that he finished recovery, I pressed the finish. The laptop is turn off by itself and not restarted. So I pressed the power button and a massage popped up on the screen and no boot device. In the bios the drive hard toshiba is present, secureboot is activated.

    Any suggestion?

    I guess you choose bad option and I think the whole HARD disk is now deleted. I guess also that you did not create recovery media, right?

    In any case, what you can do now is to order the original recovery media and install original recovery image designed for your laptop model.
