No boot USB drive without drive internal

HP ProBook 6570b (B6P79EA)

Hello

Initially, I wanted to replace the internal hard drive (Hitachi) by a cloned SSD.
That did not work. The DSS did not recognize as bootable. "No found boot device."

Then I tried to use the SSD as an external USB drive.
The laptop boot from the external SSD!
(with the drive hard internal in place).

But when I REMOVED the internal drive, the laptop does NOT start more USB - external SSD. (The bios boot order has been set to "first USB drive '")

Beats me.

Why the laptop can not do without the original disk internal?  (A kind of strange love :-))

Solved.

It turned out that there is a MBR problem with the cloned disk.

I suppose I could have found more quickly.

What made the opaque situation, was the erratic behavior of some usb drives.

Sometimes they did start, sometimes not. I have to check this.

Now, the laptop works fine.  Due to the SSD and the embedded video, there is no heat and

virtually no fan movement. Absolute silence. I love this machine.

  • Boot USB drive

    Good then this summer I messed up my macbook pro (don't remember the version etc because I bought it used). in any case, I removed my boot on a crash drive after that a representative was trying to help me. Now my macbook starts just to a screen with an exclamation mark and a folder. I read that I can use a usb key and reinstall OS x lion on it so I'll be able to boot my macbook. I was just wondering if I install it to the USB I have will continue to use the usb whenever I want to get my macbook?

    If you're an installer of the USB or clone the operating system installed on the internal drive.

    If you do manually put on the internal drive, Yes.

  • End of 2011 MBP El Capitan Windows 7 Boot Camp without optical drive internal (LOSING MY MIND, Please HELP)

    What I have:

    • Original disc Windows 7 Pro from Microsoft as to
    • Downloaded ISO exact copy of Microsoft as well if need be
    • DVD player Samsung external optics
    • USB drive (s)

    What I don't have:

    • Optical drive internal and original; the Bay is empty.
    • Patience to use VM and WinClone and all that BS.

    Sorry for the harsh tone, but I'm losing my mind edition .plists and restart a hundred times a day. erasure of the USB drives when all this used to work years ago.

    I was sure it was possible to install Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 2011 delay, an external optical drive. I not even asking to use a USB key.

    Why do I have all official records of Microsoft and a USB/DVD drive, but am forced to use an other intern, that is broken for like 90 percent of Mac owners.

    I see a black screen with a cursor on startup or a black screen saying no boot device... After using Boot Camp Assistant. I tried to not use the wizard and make a Fat32 partition on my USB on and implemented to date, but this method failed as well for some reason any illogical.

    Please help me or at least explain certain restrictions that I can never get about in what concerns my machine and Boot Camp.

    Thank you!

    Can you extract the the Samsung SATA connector and connect to the SATA internal optical drive connector?

    The EFI on your Mac version works partially with a USB Flash drive, but the file info.plist mounting is required. The VM/Winclone method also works.

  • PC tries to boot from external USB instead of the internal hard drive at startup

    Hi, I just took delivery of a refurbished Pavilion p6793. I noticed that the system does not boot if I have my external USB drive connected. It happens with one cannot find the message of charger and asks me to hit ctrl-alt-del to restart. I suspect it's because it's the search for the o/s on USB instead of the internal hard drive. Can you tell me what I need to check and change to allow me to boot from the hard drive even if the drive is connected. Thank you.

    Hello:

    You should probably go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen and changing the options in the start for the HDD menu start the first.

    Then you can set the boot for other devices as you order please.

    Make sure that you save your settings, where you made the change, and again when you go out.

    When you specifically want to start on a device, press the F9 key to the HP welcome screen and you will be presented with a single boot options menu where you can choose from any one of the bootable devices listed.

  • SA30-414 boot from the floppy USB drive

    Hi all!

    I'm tryin to get my my satellite A30-414 to boot from the floppy USB drive and enter the dos mode, but all I get is a black screen (without a slider, of course!), and then the windows XP login page directly. Can you tell me if this model has a boot device menu shortcut keyboard?

    Also, I may be permanently changed some configurations of starting (to know by pressing F12 at startup, then press F2 to try later) with my attempts to get the machine to boot from the floppy drive: now even when the floppy drive is not connected, I get this black screen awkward and then, after a few seconds, the logon windows page. How do I access the Setup menu and check?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello

    You can access the start menu by pressing the F2 key during the boot process. This will take you in the "setup" menu where you can change the order of selection of boot device as well as the other BIOS settings permanently.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to set USB drive as first boot on my Satellite A60 device

    I have an A60 which CD/DVD does not work. I want to reinstall windows XP from a USB key (I know it's possible) but impossible to define the sequence in the BIOS to boot from USB.

    IT shows me boot form HDD, drive to floppy or CD that is not working and I don't have a floppy or another.

    Help, please

    I'm sure that on Satellite A60 boot USB is not supported. As much as I know it is possible on new laptops but not on this old model.

    Now the question: How do you know that something like this is possible? I really want to learn something new.

    You can also connect external HARD as for some other PC disk and copy the I386 folder on second partition. Put the HARD drive in the laptop and try to start the installation from there. The stupid thing is that you need floppy drive to get there.

    Sorry, but I'm afraid that without floppy drive you will not be able to do anything.

  • No boot sector on hard drive internal?

    I got a Dell Latitude D610 with XP Professional pre-installed on a few years ago and it worked fine up until last month. I discovered that the hard drive crashed so I bought a new.

    After I installed the new hard drive, when I turn on the computer to reinstall the operating system, I get the error "no boot sector on hard drive internal no bootable devices - strike F1 to retry Reboot, F2 for Setup utility"

    Now, whenever I look in the BIOS, it is said that she read my hard drive. (40 GB HARD DRIVE) I know that the drive is empty and the OS installation disc has service pack 2 on it, but when I put the disc in I get the same error message. The drive, which I am using is a clean CD Windows XP Pro I had earlier.

    I'm guessing that because the HARD drive is perfectly clean, is it not a MBR hard disk. I don't know how to get the disc to run and the diagnosis says that everything else is fine.

    I am a student with a part-time job full time and cannot afford a new laptop or even an operating system for the moment. Could someone help me find a solution to this problem?

    OK, I solved the problem:

    -J' have torn the XP Pro CD Image and stored on this desktop computer.
    -J' mounted the ISO on my flash drive.
    -J' took my laptop HARD drive
    -On my laptop, I set the BIOS to boot from USB
    -I reconnected it the HARD drive while the computer has booted the OS Setup
    -J' reinstalled the operating system of the
    -Download the drivers on the Dell site and put on another flash drive
    -Install the drivers on my laptop

    Now, it works fine. Like everything new again. Daavee and THIS_IS_INSANE, you two are awesome! Thanks for the help. x]

  • Can read/write internal NAS200 fine readers - USB drives seem to be read-only

    I seem to have the opposite problem of most people.  I have two internal drives in a RAID 1 array on my NAS200 and I have no problem with them.  I can insert a flash drive into one of the USB ports and I have no problem reading and writing to it.  I can even insert a USB camera card reader and can read and write to him as well.

    But I can't seem to write to an external drive, I have plug into one of the USB ports.  I tried several USB drives - none of them work in the NAS200.  They WILL work on my PC and my MAC Powerbook. I tried several disks in a thermal BlacX doc take a 2.5 external hard drive case and another box of 3.5 inches.  I have tried everything I can think of - have had this problem since I purchased the NAS200 4 months.

    Any advice on how I can write on a USB external drive attached to the NAS200?

    Thank you

    Without backup

    Your USB device is probably formatted to NTFS, and the NAS200 only supports NTFS in read-only mode. If you want to write to a device via the NAS200, it must be FAT or FAT32 format.

    Hi Jose_luna47,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    I suggest that you perform chkdsk analysis on the computer to check and fix the errors on the hard drive by using the recovery console.

    Chkdsk

    Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314058

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you will need to check the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) and you need to contact the computer manufacturer for help with basic input/output system (BIOS).

    Important: 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.

    Boot Mode UEFI is where you were mistaken. You will need to attach it to Legacy to boot from USB drive and restore your backup, UEFI will happen to return to Windows (according to Acer).

    Your USB flash is bootable, however it does not contain your actual backup (disk image) files. If you did your USB bootable after backup, well, your backup went, as in the process of making a USB flash drive bootable, that the drive is wiped.

    I would suggest to update your Bios, the direct download of the here are more late (2.15).

    Hello!

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ57-400SO I want to install Windows XP instead of Windows 7, which is included. I had two questions now since I hit a few bumps.

    -J' have tried to change the boot order, and no, the USB is not marked with! so it should work.

    -J' tried by pressing F9, that gets me the Boot Option menu. But once I press the USB it goes right to the Windows (the pre-installed).

    Hi @kvartsnorsk

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

    What happens if I do not see my operating system?

    On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.
