Problem accessing the boot UEFI

I created a virtual 10 of VMware machine from a dd to a Windows 8.1 EUFI/GPT system image.  The host is 8.1 MBR/BIOS.  The original system is a HP Pavilion.  The virtual machine starts very well, and I can also start it from a key USB EUFI.  My problem is that I can't access the EUFI configuration in VMware.  I tried all of the suggested F keys and others.  I can access the EUFI in the original HP machine.  I know that I have consulted the EUFI in other virtual machines EUFI/GPT, but I can not in this one.  Thanks for your suggestions.

Oops, the screenshots I posted came from the Technical Preview of workstation, not 10 workstation...  But the screens you have posted are WS 10 equivalents to the EFI screenshot I posted.  Option Configuration enter would be an equivalent to your snap041.jpgscreen.

We do not have any option in our EFI allowing the Legacy Boot configuration.  (There is a way to activate Legacy Boot on our implementation of the EFI, but is prone to problems and incomplete, which is why it is undocumented and not supported.  I recommend that you don't continue this way unless you are willing to tolerate the possible data loss).

What you are aiming to use Legacy Boot the virtual machine for?  If it doesn't have a USB, your best option would be to edit the configuration of the virtual machine file to change firmware = "efi" firmware "bios" for now = you must start legacy and changing again later.

Thank you

  • Iconia W700P - need to access bluetooth keyboard during the boot UEFI or need to boot from a USB

    Solved a problem, now face two other:

    The W700P will now boot from a DVD recovery Acronis TI, but to select the restore function (then the specific restore backup), it requires an entry for a keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard supplied with the W700P does not work during the boot sequence. I prefer not to go out and buy a USB keyboard, but it is perhaps the only option.

    Or-

    The W700P boot from a USB key can stick? I read that this is impossible, but in looking at the Acer store, that's all they offer as recovery media for the W700P. I made a bootable USB key, when I bought the computer first, but I can't seem to start. All I get is repeated boot Acer screens, maybe he's trying different options in the boot order. I tried to change the order, put a password for boot and secure boot off, but I still have the same question.

    Any ideas?

    Solved once and for the moment! I now have a USB hub, USB, USB and DVD USB mouse keyboard (powered externally). Throw all these things on the machine, I was able to boot into the Acronis Recovery DVD, go to the menu and reinstall a previous backup of Windows 8.1.

  • Cannot access the Bios Uefi more on E535

    Hello community,

    I recently bought a new laptop E535, works like a charm so far. Access BIOS was possible by pressing enter directly after machine, that came a kind of JOB analysis which could be ignored by pressing any key and that came a kind of table where I could access Bios by pressing a key (do not remember which it was exactly). Otherwise I could enter Bios when the boot menu by pressing tab, who passed on another tab where Bios could be entered (also a kind of diagnosis of the programs could be launched). As mentioned in the subject, it is impossible for me to do that now, after I did the following:

    -traded integrated with a new (access still possible Bios) SSD HDD

    -changed in the BIOS boot mode, both (legacy + UEFI) in Uefi only (maybe it's the problematic point, but I'm not sure)

    -Installed Windows 7 using Uefi on ssd

    Not when I press on enter on startup it brings me to the Windows boot menu manager (you know where you can say to start Windows normally or in safe mode and so). Menu of startup has also not changed with a new section "starting windows" (finally), but when switch to another tab, it is empty now, no entry for Bios setup or diagnostic tests more.

    It's really bad. I googled around and tried the following until now without success:

    -Pressing F1 instead of entry

    -Portable stop and start with F1 key

    -boot without HDD

    -from HARD drive without amendment, which was originally installed in the laptop (which cannot be started more, probably because it has been installed in legacy mode)

    I also thought about flashing the bios, but the latest version available on the lenovo support seems to be 1.04, but pre installed on my laptop is 1.10, so my version is much more recent. Should I try to still the flash?

    While looking around, I found a post that looks like a lot to my problem, but without any other ideas how to solve this problem except for mail in my machine:

    Could you help me?

    EDIT:

    I found the RTC battery, removed and then I pressed the power button for 1 Minute. I put the battery back in but it's always the same problem. Nothing has changed.

    Hello

    Power access and use the menu starup is a good thing. This means that the BIOS is not altered.

    If you can access the start menu and the BIOS, then it means that it is likely that the hard drive has failed.

    Replace the hard drive with another, and then install an operating system on it.

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

  • Problems accessing the HP Recovery Manager after the installation of new copy of Windows 7.

    I have the HP Pavilion dv6 (2043us) originally with Windows 7 Home Premium. A recent storm crossed in my area, which seems to me to be the cause of a corrupt hard drive file that prevented Windows startup. My extra fathers using copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (is a prominent IT guy for his company, he has a lot to lose) I decided to install it from that rather than using the HP Recovery Manager in order to save my files (Windows Startup Repair and system restore failed, and to restore the default factory was not desirable) as I mentioned it because of my desire to save my documents) I have installed on the same partition as the original windows, allowing files to be viewed in Windows.old.

    However, after all that, I came to the will to restore the default settings. However, after you press (esc) and (f11) to access the Recovery Manager, it is bring up the Windows Startup logo and the login screen. Is it possible to access the Recovery Manager and restore the default settings? If so, how should I do this? As I said, I left all the original parts intact, so I do not think it is possible after some research, but I'm not sure how to start the process.

    This method to get the active recovery partition was first introduced to me by Cheryl here on the site. It may or may not work.

    Right-click on computer and click Manage > search in the list on the left, and then open disk management. You should see the recovery partition it. Click right and whether it is active and the next time that you start it up, it should boot into the recovery partition and restore back to the factory.

  • hp blue circle on black screen, can\ ' t access the boot options for the recovery disc

    I have installed Symantec disk full encryption and encrypted hard drive. Then I restarted the pc. I get a black screen with a blue HP logo in the Center. The low right sysa message press the ESC key for startup menu, but no key is working. Each button gets a beep. If I turn the power off, then on and press the various f keys, I get different messages but still no answer from all the keys.

    Symantec sent a disc of recovery for deencrypt the drive, but I can't get the pc to load from the drive. Any thoughts?. I reset the computer twice (battery and power cord, hold the power button / stop for 30 seconds)

    I remove the hard drive and then turn on the laptop to see what answer the BIOS.

    From your description of the problem, it sounds as if you may have encrypted the whole disc rather than only the C: volume or the BIOS ROM file is damaged.

    You should be able to go beyond the HP screen to access the BIOS.

    The BIOS should give complain that it cannot find a drive with a bootable operating system.

    If this happens, and you have the recovery disk set or usb recovery media, life is good and you will need to take a look at the Symantek forum to see how to proceed with your encrypted drive.

    If it does not then, the problem is the BIOS on the system board.

    By pressing the ESC key and have the start menu appear is conditional on the BIOS being in good condition. Yours may be damaged. Try download a softpaq BIOS on another PC, extract the BIOS ROM file and put it on the root of a usb key. Put the USB key into a USB port on the laptop. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Windows key and start receiving the B key. If it works and you see an led flash, release the keys and wait. the process must load a BIOS file to replace the one damaged. This takes time, so be patient if you see a blinking led or no reaction from the laptop for a few minutes.

    Post your results here and we can take the next steps, you can take.

    The problem is that when the MovieClip is finished (he has a scenario animation and a stop() method applied to the last frame of the animation), I want him to call a function that is placed in my Document class, but simply call the function (for example displayEnterButton()); an error of...

  • 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.

  • I had to reinstall Windows - problems accessing the profile of old or existing to show all emails, I had

    I had to reinstall windows. I have several drives in my computer and I copied the entire C: drive to another drive in the PC. I thought when I reinstalled Thunderbird, I could just point to profile located on the other drive... email accounts but it doesn't work.

    I had multiple accounts configured in Thunderbird - accounts about 6, but just one profile. I had several records created for organizing email locally. So, I guess that he should be a both local and roaming profile with the same name? I checked my mail server web interface and there are currently approximately 105 emails on this subject. I know there are at least 500 total emails into the inboxes of Thunderbird. I try to restore those old e-mails, as well as local folders - but am not having any luck.

    Anyway, with all the attempts that I did to get all the emails of my return, I think that Thunderbird has created new folders and is doing really complicated now. I don't know how to sort this out. I don't know the name of the profile that I have used before, and when I search my computer on the name of the profile, it is 22 000 + items. I'm still not able to get them all restored in Thunderbird.

    Another strange thing is: in the search results for the name of the profile, the items are displayed in the results, and it has an icon Thunderbird next to them and says it's a Document of Thunderbird... but when I double-click on one of them, it will not open in Thunderbird. Nothing happens when I double-click on them. Could this be a problem/conflict version of Thunderbird? I thought my old Thunderbird was updated.

    I don't know where to start to give you a hint how to help. I'm sorry.

    Any ideas?
