  Dell Latitude 10 ST2e compressed can not boot from an external optical drive USB (CD/DVD)

  The BIOS has no setting for it. It will boot from a flash drive. I would like to boot from my CD of 2013 Acronis Recovery Console.  Anyone have any success to boot from a CD/DVD USB drive?

  Yes, there is a way to do this.

  I just did this to install Windows 10 from a DVD on a tablet of 10 Latitude by following these steps:
  (Note: my version of BIOS is A08)

  1. turn off the 10 latitude power.
  2. attach a USB hub to the USB slot unique on the side of the tablet.
  3. fix a keyboard and an external USB CD drive to the USB hub.
  4. now press the button down on the side of the Tablet and simultaneously press the power button for 5 seconds (until see you the screen light up, but will be weak against black unlit).
  5. When you see the Dell logo, start typing on the F12 key (the lower right corner shows the option press the F12 key to choose single startup options)
  6. now start choosing appear with many options to choose from, including my CD/DVD drive.

  Obviously, the storage usb drive have plenty of space and OK to work on this Z830.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  The recovery image can be created on a CD/DVD disc or USB memory stick. As far as I know you cannot use a common USB HDD for recovery.

• follow-up to the issue of data on a USB flash drive recovery

  HP instructions say that the 32 GB flash drive has NOT should be labeled as Windows 8 compatible.   I bought a Sandisk 32 GB yesterday for $20 on sale, but it says on the back that it is compatible.

  More / or less expensive flash drives did not address if compatible with Windows 8.

  I have Windows 8.1

  Thanks in advance for your help...

  Hello

  If the flash drive is listed as "Windows compatible 8" may not be used - the reason is that the creation of HP recovery media software is seeking a device marked Win 8 compatible show as internal drives flash drives and external .

  In the example below, the 32 Gb flash drive USB 'Dave G' shows as a drive hard internal who can not be used, while the USB flash drive "Removable disc H" would work.

• Pavilion dm1 making has defined using USB Flash drive recovery

  I have a Pavilion dm1 for which I tried to create a set of recovery using a USB key.  However, the Recovery Manager starts, I find I can only use discs... but the Pavilion dm1 has NO disk drive and no Center so burn discs! Am I wrong to be completely intrigued by this?  Does anyone have one idea at all, other than to buy an external disk drive that I really don't want to do?  HP will sell me an ONLY ON DISC Set Recovery but once again! It seems absurd that a piece of equipment that has no disk drive will be able to be retrieved using a disc!  I confess to being a little computer illiterate, so maybe I'm missing something.  Any help most graciously accepted.

  This utility should be able to create a USB stick recovery provided that the recovery partition is functional (it's more than likely).

  Let me know what happens.

• Please suggest on USB Optical Drives for u460

  Just ordered a U460 this morning and I'm looking to buy an external USB powered optical DVD writer. My question is, do I have to buy only the Lenovo brand or any other brand would work with him?

  I personally liked the HP USB DVD Burner, sleek and stylish, but I don't know if this works with U460. In addition, it is less expensive than the lenovo product. Will it work with my U460?

  Please answer my questions. Thanks in advance.

  no need to buy only the lenovo brand, feel free to buy the dvd hp usb or any other dvd rom usb burner, it will work with your computer.

• Box X 41 optical drive USB

  I wonder if I'm hunting a product that does not yet exist.  I just want to know if there is something the market that would allow me to use the optical drive of my X 41 of basis, via USB, with my X 201 of the.  I had bad experiences with consumer USB optical drives, so if I can't follow one down, I'll find one of these optical drives from Dell with the mini-usb hotswap to the back and use it. (Lenovo/IBM, why the hell didn't do you it with your discs too?)

  Hi KnightZero,

  Because X 41 dock also uses UltraBay slim, so this would work. I suggest you do a serach on eBay or elsewhere for the UltraBay slim USB adapter housing, maybe you can get a better.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

• HP Envy m6 Sleekbook-external optical drives and Windows 8 compatible printers

  I just bought the HP Envy Touchsmart K025-DX from Best Buy m6.  I admit that I did a lot of research and I forgot to check if there was a built-in optical drive.  However, I like this laptop because it fit my budget.  I just want to know if I can use any compatible DVD/CD ROM external external external drive CD/DVD/drive or if it is better to go with the HP brand.

  I thought to return the laptop to the store and try to buy a new one who already has an internal hard drive built in... but think if I add an external hard drive... he wanted me to return this product.

  Also I realized that I probably need to upgrade my HP printer as well as my current HP Officejet j4500 printer software is not compatible with WIndows 8.  Advice and suggestions are appreciated...

  Hello

  You can use any external USB optical drive on this laptop and the printer, you can download the drivers for Windows 8 if it is available in the hp.com. Simply search for drivers by putting the search box in top right where it says search Hp.com.

• M73 10B 6 will not start no optical drive

  He bought about two weeks ago, preloaded with Win 10 Pro. It starts from a USB optical drive. I tested the DVD bootable on other computers and these other computers boot from them. I can browse the contents of the bootable disks in Explorer on my M73. I have the latest version of the BIOS.

  Of course, I checked the BIOS configuration and the drive is listed in the order of boot sequence. But when I press F12 and try to boot from the disc, it is not listed in the list of bootable disks I have to choose.

  Lenovo support seems quite distraught about the problem. I was transferred to four different agents without getting this resolved. An incredulous seeemd agent on why I was interested even if he initiated from the optical reader. I finally got them all right send a tech Monday. They have the tech to replace the optical drive, but I doubt if that is the problem. I think it's a bug in the BIOS or there is a problem with the motherboard, but Lenovo support seems too stupid to look at these opportunities

  Sorry for venting but I lost more than two hours on the phone with them yesterday and I'm a busy person. I spent my hard earned money on this computer in good faith and I don't have to go through all that.

  OK, I thought about it. I just had to go into the BIOS Setup and disable the quick start.

• I have an acer e 15 there is no optical drive

  I have an acer e 15 there has no optical drive, can I install an internal rewritable dvd set

  If it has a working Sata port when you pull on the mannequin. Some models don't have.

  You can buy the drive and the media that fits in the bezel to the front of it.

  I would recommend a USB optical drive for a third of the price.

• Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

  Hi all

  I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

  As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

  As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

  Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

• Ultrabook HP 4 t-1100 - hard drives defective - No. DVD player - made HP sells recovery USB flash drives?

  Hello

  I am repairing a laptop HP Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 t-1100 for a friend. The pc wouldn't start. BSOD, would try to repair itself, then BSOD again. I ran the hard drive from the bios test. He said that the hard drive has failed. I bought a new drive hard Western Digital 7mm Blue, replaced the wrong drive, has passed the test to drive hard and then asked my friend if she had the Windows 8 recovery disc or a flash supplied with the computer player.

  Apparently, the recovery discs are not included with Ultrabooks, nor are a recovery flash drive. Being that this computer has been for a schoolgirl teenager, given to him by his mother of the computer-illiterate, nor had the foresight to do a restore of backup USB flash drive. All Ultrabooks do not have a reader of CD/DVD/BLU, so a USB recovery "disk" is necessary.

  I don't have another computer to Windows 8 lying autour to make a USB recovery. Some people sell images of USB recovery on eBay, but they don't seem very good reputation.

  And apparently they do not put the product key of Windows 8 on the bottom of portable computers more either! HP offers to sell a "recovery disc" through their section of the support of their website, but it is obviously not a DVD player to put it in.

  Here's my quandry: If I buy the "recovery disk" HP, they will send me a DVD or a USB FlashDrive with a system image on it? And if they send me DVD, I'll be able to put it in a computer Windows 7 and make a bootable system image that then I could put it on a USB key? Then, Windows will automatically find the product key?

• Laptop HP 17 p100: how the usb flash drive big that I have to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  How the big usb flash drive do I need to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

  Yes

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  There is really no way accurately guess in advance, with one of the reasons being that the options are available when you do this.  An option creates a recovery drive minimum with what is needed to repair the operating system.  Another option creates an image that is able to completely restore the operating system and its partition.  Thus, the size can vary from 4 GB to the size of the partition to the OS.

  Myself, I found as build-in recovery to be unreliable, especially those of Ms.  So instead, I use a third-party imaging/restoration solution known as Macrium Reflect.

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

  My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!

  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck
