• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

• 8000 elite: try to boot from the hard drive

  After placing a ssd, I get this notification. nothing else happens.

  I checked the bios, but I noticed that I can not change the boot sequence (ssd hard drive first, the other second place) so I changed the sata cables too the ssd is the startup disk.

  someone who can help?

  the ssd already has an operating system installed

  Sorry, from your description, I thought you might have "migrated" Win10 from the HARD disk to the SDS, and when people do this by copying partitions, they almost always forget migrate partition, including the bootloader files.

  So you did a clean install of Win10 for the SSD?

  If this is the case, you might be able to fix it by running the win10 installation media startup repair.

  To do this, you will need to use the link to the installation media to download Win10 and burn a DVD or create a USB key: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10
  
  Note that when you download and build install media, the default tool corresponding to what is already installed on your PC (as in home for the House, and 64-bit to 64 - bit).  While you CAN change these settings, are NOT.  If you do, the media that results will be different and will force you to enter a NEW product code.

  Then, follow these instructions to run the Startup Repair tool: Doing - Startup Repair

  You may need to do this same series of steps three times.

  Good luck

• HP Pavilion 500-210 QE cannot boot from any hard drive.

  Good evening. As you can see on the subject, my computer just cannot boot from any hard disk that I put on it. I tried swapping the power supply, SATA cable, reset the BIOS, allowing the start legacy, changing to AHCI to IDE and RAID...

  When I get to the BIOS Setup, I see the hard drive and its features, but it will not start or show when I am trying to install a new OS. I'm not an expert, but I think that the problem could be in the motherboard SATA ports, but I'm not sure. Just to be sure, I tried another harddrive and it did not work as well.

  I was also thinking to buy a HDD external and installation of my OS on it, but I don't even know if it is possible and I would really like to have my computer working again.

  Thank you for your attention!

  Ok. That doesn't say that it is very likely that the motherboard has problems.

  Contact HP for warranty repair.

• Satellite A300 - Boot from USB Flash Drive

  Is it possible to make my laptop boot USB flash drive?
  I checked the BIOS settings, but could not find anything that allows the boot from USB.

  > So after 40 hours there is no one who can answer this question 'complex'... strange forum.
  Hay buddy, you have good sense of humor ;)
  Do you really believe that someone to sit here and wait for your non-complex question? ;)
  Anyway, this issue is so simple and you don't need to ask someone here. If you do not find option bootable BIOS to set USB peripheral device for me is logical that this will not work.

• Can't boot from USB Flash Drive on Yoga 13

  I had a USB bootable with linux on it live and I tested it it works on another computer but I can't get my Yoga to boot from it. I wet to settings-> General-> advanced startup and then I clicked on the option USB but the computer is restarted, he said that there is no bootable USB devices. Someone able to boot from a flash drive?

  Hello and welcome,

  What linux distro do you use, and it is able to start on a UEFI system?

  I'm guessing here since I don't have a machine like yours, but I guess that BIOS refuses to see the USB if it doesn't have an appropriate structure of UEFI boot on it.

  You may be able to start the flash player by accessing the BIOS and setting the mode of inheritance.

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

• 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.

  See you soon

• Z575 will not boot from the hard drive or restore DVD

  Need help on a laptop Z575 age of 2 years that immediately after an automatic update of windows, will not start either from the hard disk or restore DVDs (blue screen). Does not start in safe mode, not booting from a rescue of third party DVD. Attempt to start, it will show you the ability to start the Startup Repair tool. Repair shows that it is unable to fix with the detail following problem error messages:
  Signature of the problem 1: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of problem 2: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of the problem 3: unknown
  Signature of the 4:21200196 problem
  Signature problem 5: auto failover
  Signature of the problem 6:7
  Signature of the 7 problem: bad driver
  OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

  Normally think that the hard drive has failed or that windows update caused a software problem, but the inability to boot from any restore disk that makes me think that there is another serious problem with the hardware of the laptop.

  Any help would be appreciated. THX

  Additional note: when you try to boot from a restore disc, blue screen, error message:
  Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78DA640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  It is a hardware failure that cannot be restarted soft.

  I also removed the hard drive and RAM, reinstalled and rebooted, no change.

  Additional note: I was able to access the hard drive with a recovery of old program, focused on the (SpaceFM) ram charged through the DVD player. Hard drive data appears intact. Still does not start from the hard disk or a DVD of windows system.

  Thank you. Rather than buying a 4 GB or more large key USB comes from put this into hard drive replacement. Installed correctly, boots very well now. No other error of the optical drive... and no explanation I can see, but that's it.

  Unless something else pops up we'll just call cela a HARD drive failed after 2 years of common use. Thanks again.

• Received error BSOD, ran Diagnostics, got the error code 2000-0146, tried to boot from different HARD drive, got the same stop error message

  So my friend gave me his computer dell laptop. The thing would boot normally for a few days until he would give me a blue screen of death with the "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" message constantly to not even upward. I ran the diagnostics and got the error code 2000-0146. What I've read, this code error means that the HARD drive is bad and must be replaced. So, to make sure that it's the hard drive, tried to boot from an old hard drive, I got around the installation by USB and windows gave me the same stop error message. May - so that means it's a motherboard problem?

  No, it isn't - unless the operating system was installed on this drive AND the system in question, that it won't work as a bootable drive.

  Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power for 30 seconds approximately.  Turn on and re-run the diagnostic tests - if the same error appears again, the drive is bad.  Replace it.

• Boot from external hard drive

  My external hard drive is connected to my USB hub member.  I need to start from the outside (and backup on it works fine).  When I hold down the option key to restart, externally does not appear as a startup disk.

  You format the disk to a bootable disk and you have the OS files needed for this topic?

• Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

  I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

  My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

  I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

  I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
  I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

  I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?
