Satellite 210ct does not start - insert system disk and press a key

I have a very old laptop and want to move down. It is a 210ct Satellite. When I start upward, he goes and initializes memory and then after about five minutes, to be on that screen it said to insert system disk and press a key...

It is not the disk hard as I tried it in another laptop and work very well. And then just sitting there.

I really want to make it work again!

Thank you

Hello

For me the description sounds like the laptop can not find an OS on the HARD disk bootable.
The laptop trying to boot from the HARD drive and Windows has not been installed on the HARD disk or portable computer booting from the drive, but the environment is not bootable.

Have you tried to boot from the recovery delivered CD or have you tried to reinstall the operating system?

    Looks like you can't boot from the CD.
    The message insert system disk and press any key any appears because the laptop can not find any operating system and bootable CD.

    Try to insert an original Windows CD and try to press F12 immediately after that laptop was on the F12 key should activate the start on-screen menu.

  • Satellite 2140CDS: message: "insert the disk and press a key".

    Hello

    I got this laptop but the necessary update. I tried to put a master drive from my other laptop to update and it came with 'error' and now when I turned it back on it does nothing about it, totally blank and rpet "insert the disk and press a key".

    I've got everything I can think but still can not do anything.

    Please can someone help?

    Hello

    What do you mean with master drive? Do you mean the Toshiba Recovery CD or what?

    It seems that the laptop can not find a source of seed and so this message appears on the screen!

    If you use a FDD drive please check if the disk has been removed.

    You must simply insert your Toshiba Recovery CD and boot from the CD/DVD drive. That's all.

    PS: Check if the HARD drive isn't too bad, as if the internal HARD drive is malfunctioning you will not be able to reinstall the OS from the CD

    Hello

    If you find your recovery DVD, you can use them to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not, you can order a replacement set by starting at the link below-, the cost can vary a bit depending on where you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, try to order them directly from HP.

  • No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

    Hello

    I was with boot camp to install 10 Windows from a usb key. The first problem I encountered was an error message stating that Windows supports software could not be downloaded on my flash drive. I read that the necessary drivers could be installed later so I unchecked the box. The part of the installation, then training camp as it should (create a partition etc.)

    However, when the Mac went to restart and (probably) to start the program installation of Windows, the error message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" displayed. My problem is the wireless keyboard does not respond and the light on this issue seems to suggest that it is not connected. My guess is that the drivers needed, such as Bluetooth are not there.

    I'd be happy enough to restart OS x and forget all about Windows, but I can't see how to get around this problem?

    A wired keyboard could work?

    any help is appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Max.

    A wired keyboard and mouse will work. If you try to install Windows and tried to download the Windows software on a wireless network, try a wired connection. to rebuild your USB Installer.

    Hello

     

    1. What is the brand and model of the laptop?

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

     

    Method 1:  Change the boot order in the BIOS settings:

    See the following steps:

    Important: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

    (a) start on typing Dungeon either F1, F2, F10, Esc, or DEL to enter the BIOS Setup.

    Warning: some manufacturers use F10 for recovery of the system.

    (b) glance to "Drive Configuration", "Boot order" or similar

    (c) check the second drive the first boot device CD/DVD and hard drive.

    (d) to save the settings and exit.

     

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Trying to boot into safe mode and see if that helps.

    Start your computer in safe mode:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If step 1 work, try step 2

    Step 2:  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

  • Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key


    Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
    Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

    (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

    (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

    (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

    (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

    So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

    (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

    (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

    (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

    Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

    What is the year/model of your Mac?

  • I screwed up trying to install windows on my computer 10 and I XE off installer and now its says "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

    I was just trying to download 10 on my computer windows using boot camp assistant. I answered the questions for windows when you need to respond as what kind of language you use and then I messed up on one of the questions. I didn't know how to go back so I just pressed the red x. When I did that he must get off my computer and when it's done I got a black screen and then it says "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" I don't know what he meant by no bootable disk and I was hoping that you guys can help me fix.

    If stop you your Mac and your power it back up and hold down the Alt/Option key, you see a Windows selection? If so try to select and see if the installation will continue.

  • My Toshiba laptop error: No. Bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key.

    When I put the bootable disc in I lost all my data. Now the problem is that I have a disk of Home Premium Windows 7 64 bit with product key number. This drive doesn't have SP1 on it, and when I tried to load the disc the message was that he could not install this drive.  This hardware of computers may not support booting to this disk.  Make sure that the drive controller is enabled in the Bios of the computer.  (I don't have the original software provided with the purchased used laptop computer).

    I called Toshiba and they said I needed a new drive and it would install for $149.00. I did not pursue it.

    Is my question there a way to get a Microsoft update disc that includes the original as well as the Service Pak data? I see several option on the web site but do not know what I can do.  It seems to me that everything I need is the service pak but cannot load the original software. Is there something in the BIOS I can change?

    Or is there another solution without buying all new software.

    Thank you

    Your PC Toshiba laptop includes a manufacturer recovery partition, and unless you have screwed up the hard drive, it should still be there and accessible...

    That's how access you... For Toshiba, press and hold the "0" BEFORE and during power-up Need you options recovery and overall the machine back exactly as it was when you bought it first.

    Several updates and hours later, you would still have a working machine. After re-installing your programs preferred and your applications, you must use the data backups made to recover what you have done on the machine since...

    It takes a lot of time, but it all works.

    An alternative...

    You can download a Windows 7 ISO, Windows 7 downloads , create a boot from it and pure media install Windows. The only catch here is that you must be able to read the sticker COST on the machine, the version of Windows and the key code. Then you re - install your favorite programs and do data backup procedure as above.

    If you have no backups of data or copies elsewhere and your Windows does not start, you need to make the drive of the machine, connect to another and copy the important of her data files, then place the player to the original host, using one of the methods above to re - install Windows...

    Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

    I'm stuck please help!

    Hello!

    If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

    I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

    Good bye
