Pascal boot from a DVD on my Satellite P100

Hello

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100. I want to boot on a DVD. When the computer starts, the screen goes from black to the Welcome to windows screen, and there is no message that indicates which key to press to access the boot menu. I tried to press F2 or F12, but if I do the screen remains black and that windows won't even start. F1 or F10 or del have no effect. ESC for 5 seconds, either.

A few weeks ago (I did not any changes in bios or anything like that, what I did is updated on windows), I had a white line that says press key (F12), but now this is not more. I don't even have the toshiba logo.

I flashed the BIOS with the latest update, with no result.

Edit: I have new intel: since the problem seems to come from the screen (some keys (F2, F12) 'work' in the sense it does something special, rather than just logging on to windows and this unusual thing they do is to make the screen stay black - as if the screen wasn't turned on yet, but the computer was waiting for a response from the user) I tried to connect my laptop to another screen. I have counfounded the vga cable ends and ends by connecting my laptop to a desktop instead of his screen. The result of this was rather strange: when my laptop is connected to a desktop computer, the laptop screen is lit normally, and I see the toshiba logo and the boot/bios menu shortcuts. Other that taking the power of the display, the connection had obviously no effect: I don't see the content of the desktop on my laptop, I just saw my laptop because I usually do, and it's because the vga port is usually intended to be connected to another screen and not to another computer.

So what do you think about this experience, which is certainly interesting, and you now see what could be my problem and so how to fix?

Thank you.

PS: If you have more questions/details, please do not hesitate to ask.

Hello John

To be honest, I wish I had your laptop in front of me and see exactly what is happening.
Is that this message be down occurs when the cell is on a regular basis down. If the laptop wakes mode sleep or hibernation, this message will not appear.

So I m pretty confused with all this and can not understand what is happening exactly.
When the operating system is loaded click please Windows Start button and choose the option closed and don't forget the laptop shut down correctly

After doing this book for beginning and check how it looks like new. Please post comments.

  • Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hello

    the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

    Thank you

    Luke

    Hello

    Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

    It s already installed when you plug it in.

    Hello

    I have a laptop Qosmio E10-102 here. The hard drive is missing and I need to install the operating system on a new hard drive but I can't boot from CD/DVD. After the start of Qosmio screen, it shows "insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready... ».

    When I press F1, I get the 1.5 version of BIOS ACPI boot menu, but I can't change date, time and the password. The boot priority is HDD-> FDD-> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 during initialization, but this has no effect. Even by pressing the 'c' key, the disc does not start.

    I tried to put the hard drive in a laptop and install there, but detects the Windows installation disc, that's not Toshiba laptop.

    No idea how to fix?

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.

    I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

  • Booting from CD/DVD

    Hi all, I have problems with my HP Pavilion g6-2390sa Windows 8, I am trying to boot from a DVD of windows 7.

    I activated the CDROM boot, options of the legacy also and the DVD/CD internal as primary boot device in the options of the efi and the legacy.

    When I boot the system I press the F9 key to selection of the boot device, but the CD/DVD drive is not listed?

    Internal DVD/CD was registered mysteriously once but since I restarted it is no longer present in the list of boot devices, and I did not change between the two BIOS?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, btw the DVD player works perfectly under windows 8 and I have bootable media in the drive.

    Thanks in advance G

    Hello:

    That's what I'd do...

    It seems that you have changed the BIOS settings to boot from a dvd according to the link below... but it does not hurt to take another look on this.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03736054

    What I would do, is to download the W7 ISO from the link below - DL version of W7 that sits on your DVD, the ISO Microsoft USB tool allows you to set the ISO to a flash drive, see if you can boot from the flash drive and use the product key from your DVD.  For this, you will need a 4 GB or more large USB flash drive.

    Hi dynamitenews

     

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
    2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

     

    You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

    Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

    If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.

    BIOS WARNING-
    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.

     

    I hope this helps.

  • under win8.1, how to boot from a dvd using UEFI on a hp 700-109 c desire?

    I installed a Kingston ssd 120 GB in the 700-109 c and you want to use clone drive ACRONIS to reduce proportionally the 2T dirve to the win8.1 120 GB and boot from there.  I can't activate the legacy in BIOS support because the software warns UEFI to boot from the disk of destination after the migration, must be enabled before we start the cloning process.   However, I am not able to boot from the dvd Kingston (ACRONIS) with secure boot UEFI active.  How do I proceed?

    Hello

    Cloning of the HD under Windows 8 is sometimes problematic. You must disable Secure Boot and turn on legacy mode. Your PC should reboot. I can boot Windows 8 as well in Legacy and UEFI mode with my HP laptop that the use of Windows 8.

    As a side note, usually with UEFI, you will need to insert the CD, and then the PC power cycle for UEFI to recognize an eligible UEFI device such as a CD or USB flash.

    A problem you will encounter is that the bootloader of Windows 8 will demonstrate to the sata hard drive after the clone so it does not start. Another possible cause is that the HP recovery partition is not going to work. Don't forget that you have a set of HP recovery or USB flash drives.

    Paragon makes one a great migration and cloning for windows8 utility which also contains a boot corrector function to manage the windows bootloader question. It is 8.1 compatible window is available for $12.   There is even a video available.

  • Cannot install the boot from the DVD - OEM of Windows 7 (full)

    Generally, I am able to reset the priority of readers, so a computer will boot from a DVD.  It's my first time on Win7 and I can't make it work.  Insert the disc in Windows (XP currently installed - 'not real') indicates the drive is not compatible with this version of Windows.  I thought that booting from the DVD would help, but I'm prompted to "press any key to boot from the CD/DVD" and every time he ignores me and goes backward to boot from the XP/hard drive.

    At this point, I tried to affect the CD/DVD drive that all the priorities, not only the first condition.  I tried to use the other DVD player because there is another - still no luck.  Isn't this updated software in place to work this way?  It should be bootable, no?

    Thanks for any help...

    Here's a question I would ask. Your computer is 64-bit compatible? If it isn't, it's probably one of the reasons why you would receive this error message. Please run the Windows Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is ready for 64-bit.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
    Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

    First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
    Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

    From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
    I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
    Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
    I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

    In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
    This means a failing drive?
    What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

    By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
    The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

    Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

    When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

    Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

    Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
    You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
    If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

    If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
    One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

    > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

    Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

    > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

    As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

    > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

    The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

    Windows has a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer

    This error can be caused by disconnecting a device of removable storage, such as a USB external drive while the device is still in use, either by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM that fails. Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.
