• Compaq presario cq61: change the boot sequence

  I have 10 Windows upgrade on my compaq Presario cq61 free. I want to do a clean install of Windows 10. I downloaded the tool of Microsoft Media, made a key USB and DVD containing the clean install. I am told that the use of the flash player, I have to change the boot sequence in the bios. I tried everything from ESC, all numbers F and LED to try to enter the bios and all have failed. Told me that all I had to do with the DVD was just put it in and start the computer and the laptop would boot from the DVD and I could make my own installation from there. Which also failed. The only thing I have not tried is downgrade to Windows 7, affecting Windows 7 back to factory settings, then reinstall the free update of Windows 10. I would not have to go through all if I mostly because I bought the laptop from a friend and it was installed at the factory of Windows 7 and I don't got no disc software to the computer so I don't want to screw up and drop windows 7 without the appropriate software reinstall to match the product key.

  Any help to enter in the bios or advice that could help me reach my goal would be greatly appreciated.

• Change the boot sequence

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone has a guide step by step (with pictures) on how to change the boot sequence (I'm not interested by a particular brand of PC or a particular Windows).

  Thanks in advance :)

  There are a few different ways to access a page of options boot menu at startup

  Bios legacy would use the delete key

  UEFI BIOS would use F8

  Each you could enter the bios and select the or change the first device to boot cd / dvd drive is usually first "inline"

  Some uefi bios and or install uefi, you may enter win - 10 or 8 - 8.1 and turn off the quick start first in = power options change what the button of power before you could even get into the bios because of the characteristics of secure of the two of them start.

• u2913wm stuck in 'power save mode' in the boot sequence

  Hello

  Just got my new u2913wm today.

  I encountered the following problem: at startup, the screen briefly displays "entering power save mode" and stays black until the Windows7 interface was loaded. As a result, I can no longer access the bios of my computer.

  My computer is an Inspiron from Dell 530 s with Windows7. There is no this problem when connected to my screen LCD older (other brand).

  Is there a solution?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi ALI,

  I am pleased to say that the problem has been resolved with my new video card: AMD Radeon HD 6450. With this card connected via DVI, the screen remains standing throughout the boot sequence.

  It seems that there is a compatibility issue with some video cards.

• Cannot change the boot sequence in the bios

  Hello world!

  I use vmware fusion 3.1.1 (282344) (in fact has happened since I started from 3.0). A home edition of Windows XP is installed in the bootcamp partition and is used as the guest operating system. When I start Windows XP, it always first try to boot from the network, which takes about 1 min (this can be ignored by hitting the ESC key however). Even if I enter the bios settings, the starting sequences is not editable, where "everything on this menu is not editable in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system"is written. However, no password supervisor and of course, I'm not using the 'user '. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

  PS: a full Linux guest OS (installed in fusion and is wrapped up as a file) has no problem to change the boot sequence.

  Best regards

  PrestonXu

  All items of this menu cannot be changed in user mode. If all items require changes, consult your supervisor system

  Weird, I never heard of this message before. You get this when you start merging, not in native mode? I would have asked if someone had made changes to the BIOS settings until you got to the virtual machine, except that you said it's Boot Camp, so I think it's less likely.

  You can try to change the boot order in the Virtual Machine > settings > advanced > boot device.

• Unable to access the boot sequence in the BIOS

  I press ESC at startup, then F9. I can use the arrow keys to switch between 'the operating system startup Manager' and 'file. EFI Boot. But when I select "OS boot manager" and press on enter as the instructions on the screen, the date of the BIOS and Windows is loaded. How can I change the boot order?

  Hello

  The following assumes that you are trying to boot from an optical disc or flash drive.

  Tap the escape key when you rewind to enter the Boot Menu.

  Select the option in the Bios ( f10 )

  Select the 'System Configuration' tab, and then expand "Startup Options".

  Disable startup secure and enable legacy devices.

  Press f10, select Yes and press ENTER to save these settings.

  Note: When the machine restarts, you will be asked probably enter a number of 4-digit on the display to confirm the change of setting.

  Insert the bootable media.  Restart the computer and press once further to the esc to launch the Start Menu.  Select the Startup Manager ( f9 ), and I hope that the device you are trying to boot from will now be an option.

  Kind regards

• How to change the boot sequence?

  How can I change the sequenze boot, if it is not possible to open the boot with 'F12 menu '?

  I m wondering why you can't access the start menu?
  What laptop and how Windows system you have?

  Usually, you can change the startup mode in the BIOS settings. To access the BIOS you have to press the F2 key
  But you can also press a particular button while you turn on/off the device to boot from a single module.

  For example:
  C button-> CD/DVD drive
  Key U-> USB FDD
  N key-> internal LAN

• Satellite problem BIOS L750 - cannot change the boot sequence

  Hello reader/answering my questions.
  I am having trouble with my 750 ODN bios. This bios is an official update (3.6) from the center of support, and almost everything has been fine since (the plot thickens!). I decided one day I want to dual boot with linux, in particular Fedora (this is unrelated to this though).

  But, when I burned the disc and tried to direct (too test) boot the boot order has been on hard drive, first of all, I found! I rebooted and pressed f12 - did not work.
  I tried to delete and escape - neither worked. Then, I tried all the f keys - none of them worked.
  Whenever he took me to the Windows Start menu, and I explored it and I could not find anything.

  It is also important to mention that I'm under Win 7 SP1.
  I tried both PLoP and osloader (too boot from the dvd) - neither worked.
  I also do not remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

  Also toshiba with instructions logo never appears.
  I would really just change the order of boot however, the rest of the bios I don't need access too much right now.

  A separate issue is that Windows randomly decides he wants to check my hard drive, which takes forever, and he won't until he arrives to check it out. I think it may need medical help.

  But, no help, a qualified doctor or not, would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance
  Mitchell

  Hello

  > I also don't remember what the button to start the bios was originally - Oops!

  Pressing F2 by turning on the device could help you access the BIOS.
  But you do not need to change the boot order in the BIOS. You can do it by pressing F12. This should be done immediately after you have turned on the laptop.
  Then the start menu appears and you can choose the right boot device.

  Does it function?

• Cannot change the boot sequence

  Hello

  I'm trying to change my boot order, so that I can boot from a DVD on my laptop Pavilion (E8A72UA #ABA).  I pressed ESC to get the boot menu.  The menu says:

  F1 system information

  F2 System Diagnostics

  F9 boot device Options

  F10 BIOS Setup

  F11 recovery system

  ENTER - continue starting

  I tried pressing just F9 and Fn + F9 to get Boot Options and no job.  When I press Fn + F1 I can go to the screen that displays system information.  However, F2 and F9, F10 and F11 do nothing.  When I press Enter, it boots into Windows.

  I am doing something wrong or there at - it something wrong with the laptop?  The function keys work fine when I start in Windows, so I don't know that the function keys are not violated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Once the unit is on keep tapping F10 key it will take in the settings menu of the BIOS.

  Then selected System Configuration then start Option, then boot order.

  Then change the setting you want to do. Press F10 to save the changes and exit the screen.

• VMware Workstation BIOS 9 - cannot change the boot sequence

  I have a Windows 2003 server that has almost zero space on the C drive, so I'm trying to start a utility disk so I can I repartition.

  HOWEVER... F12 not letting me NOT select a different boot device. If I go into the BIOS and go to the start menu, I see the hard disk and not the CD is at the top of the list and there is no way to change the boot order. Up, down and '+' and '-' keys don't do. The machine is a version that compatible with 6-7, but I shouldn't have to level 9 (I think, anyway).

  The boots of the virtual machine so fast but after that everything a 100 attempts I can't else primary hard drive to boot first.

  TIA

  Kevin

  With VMware Workstation (or at least tab of the virtual machine) closed, add

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

  to the virtual machine's .vmx file. This will add a 5 second delay for the startup process that will allow you to hit the "ESC" key to the start menu and to attach an ISO or CD image to the virtual machine. Make sure that the virtual CD-ROM presents itself as 'Connected' before proceeding with the selection of the boot device.

• Function keys do not take me to set-up or the boot sequence

  nothing new on my computer

  ralfs59,
  The sequence of setup\boot are previous to Windows components.  This means that they come and go until Windows is not even looked at.  You will need to contact your OEM manufacturer for help with this issue.

• Can't access to the / boot

  Acrobat 8.x was installed on my system by Dell, when I bought it.  When 8.1.1 is released, I upgraded to it.  Since then I have occasionally received the error "unable to access/start".  A couple of days, there was a lot of "Windows" updates and now the problem is chronic.  Whenever I try to start Outlook, I get a deluge of errors that I have quit a lot - just open Outlook, even if I'm not looking for a PDF file.

  I went to try to uninstall it and I get the error cannot access/start and uninstalling is abandoned.

  It is a WINDOWs system.  There are no start.  I never did anything with the settings or presets, or default values.  I doesn't specify what it is when I upgraded, just took the standard stuff.

  What should I do to get rid of this reference to / boot to be able to use Outlook, Acrobat and stop making all these mistakes?

  Thank you

  -Brian

  My point about the ringing of Dell was because it was them who have installed the Acrobat software is not first place it?  .. and that's just my intuition but it seems that when the problem is maybe.  Or came with a disc you have installed?  In any case if you have a disk, uninstall and reinstall, remember to activate before uninstalling.  It can pay to use the utility Windows Installer Cleanup before re install too.

• Start-up/login problem. Vista starts by the boot sequence then cursor and black screen appears but nothing else.

  My laptop recently locked up when running a DVD rip, I waited an hour or so to see if he would respond, but he didn't, so I turned off the laptop by holding the power button down. I restarted the computer and it loaded correctly to the logon screen and allowed me to log in as usual. Once the computer was connected, I noticed that the sidebar was not loading, and when I click on what whether the locked computer.

  To try to remedy this I tried to start the PC in safe mode to perform a restore could noticed that I had not created restore points. I then tried to fill a start last known good config upward, it did not work. Then, I tried a CHKDSK/r procedure at startup. It worked fine until step 3 of 5, on which he seems to hang, I left it overnight and it was still on the same stage. So I have powerd off the PC and tried to start. But now, the PC is delivered to the black screen and the cursor as shown above.

  I created the new folder of the event log of the prompt on the Vista recovery disc option

  I did a repair to start - no problems found

  I checked that regedit in this \Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. shell contains only explore

  When you are looking for through other Forums a cause of this problem appears to be to do with the permissions of the user being changed by the chkdsk does not complete, however I don't see how to fix this through the command prompt.

  As noted, I can access command prompt on the recovery disk. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  You already did a great job of troubleshooting - exactly what I would have recommended here if you had not already tried.  Play well!  Here is one that you did not and I would start one you tried (because I feel that it is perhaps the root of the problem.

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt, right click command prompt and click Run as administrator (you can skip this step if you are using the disk).

  If you use the drive, cd to C:\Windows\System32. Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to run at the next reboot (but I don't think that will happen if launched from the disk).   If so, answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.  I know you tried this before, but we'll try again by using a slightly different command and see if it works this time.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, then we should try to reinstall the system (backup first) as only option short taking in a computer repair shop. But we'll see what happens with the first above.

  Good luck!
