  Hey Buddy,

  Your ad is a little hard to understand, but if t can boot from CD/DVD and the drive does not appear in the BIOS, it seems to be faulty and needs replacing I think
  Usually, there is nothing of what you can do to get rid of this.

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but I would like to contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Guys can you help to swap the drive. :)

• Qosmio E10-102 - cannot boot from CD/DVD

  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?

  Hi Napto,

  The CD/DVD drive is correctly listed in the BIOS? You see the model number of your player? Usually, this should be possible

  And what installation disc, you are starting? You use Microsoft disc or Toshiba Recovery disk?
  Maybe the current disc is scratched

• 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
  Dan Gent

  > 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.

• Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

  However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
  + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

  I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

  Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

  This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
  Win 8 or 8.1 Win

  Just a few questions:
  Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
  If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
  Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E-03Y010EN) boot from CD/DVD to install Win7

  Looks like this ain t going to go quietly.

  Problem 1
  I get this error message when I set the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD then the HARD drive and install Win7

  Windows did not start because the file
  \System32\hal.dll is not installed or is corrupt please reinstall

  I ve discovered that l n nor Win7 or Vista use it, so I m assuming it is a blocking when I upgraded to Win7 Ultimate to XP Pro?

  Problem 2
  I get the error message when I set the BIOS to boot from the HARD drive and the CD/DVD

  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.

  FILE: \boot\BCD
  STATUS: Oxc00000e9
  An unexpected i/o error has occurred

  Did I miss something in the installation of this new HARD drive?
  Anyone has any ideas what's wrong?

  Should I think about cloning the HARD drive to the new HARD drive and then just stick the new HARD drive in the computer?
  I have a copy of XXClone who claims he will do this and make sure the new drive is bootable so is it worth it?

  Thank you

  Installation of Win7 on an A120 can be difficult.

  Have you updated the BIOS?

  What is the size of the HARD drive?

• Cannot boot from CD - DVD in LEGACY mode - NO Secure Boot UEFI NOT

  You just bought an Optiplex 7010 minitower with Win 8 Pro 64 - bit, 8 GB of RAM, 500 GB HDD and an Intel i5 processor 3470.  Now he has BIOS version A16.

  It is normally ON UEFI and Secure Boot on IT and F12 at startup does NOT normally display the CD-DVD as a boot option.  OK - no problem.

  However, if I reboot with F12 and select UEFI OFF (meaning WE legacy) and Secure Boot SHUTDOWN and reboot, then F12 DON'T show me the CD - DVD as a startup option, but if I actually try to boot from a bootable CD, I get an error message.

  I practiced with two CD bootable - a Knoppix I did on a XP machine an Aomei Backupper I did on a Win 7 machine.  These CD working as in my old XP machine boot CD, and the CD of Backupper of Aomei worked someone else machine Win 7 Pro 64 bit.

  What's wrong?

  Again, please let me repeat that I am trying to boot from the CD-DVD AFTER I have turned OFF UEFI, turned on the legacy and off Secure Boot.

  Thank you.

  Speed - although you predicted, I am amazed at what I did today.

  I bought a second hard drive (in white) and installed Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 on it.  (I unplugged the first hard drive which has my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  (Later to figure out how to dual-boot - no not yet for that.)

  What struck me is that I have installed SP1 for Win 7 Pro 64-bit while my BIOS is UEFI - it's ON UEFI and Secure Boot off.  (Enable Legacy ROM is enabled.)  BIOS is the Windows Boot Manager.  The Win 7 Pro 64 - bit SP1 DVD ran perfectly on my CD - DVD unit - no problems of any kind.  The machine has restarted several times, as I adjusted it settings and added the resource of Dell Media CD drivers.

  Disk Management displays only two partitions - a little with the legend "Healthy (EFI System Partition)" and then my C:\ drive, which is indicated be NTFS and 'in good condition (boot, Page File, crash dump, primary Partition).  The properties for the entire drive 0 said "Partition Style: GUID Partition Table (GPT).

  Now - is it good or bad?  If one day I try to dual-boot, what is incompatible with the four partitions on my hard drive to win 8 (now offline)?  Install this fake Win 7?

  I'm even more amazed than the Win 7 Pro 64 - bit auto installed SP1 with a product key that is different from the product key for my Win 8 Pro 64-bit.  The Dell OEM Windows 7 installation disc done by himself - I don't have to enter anything.  Which is good news for a future dual-boot, Yes?

  I have NOT yet connected to the internet.

  Now, when I unplugged my hard drive of origin WIn 8, I disconnected the Sata data cable and used for the new hard drive Win 7 added.  If the new hard drive is connected to data SATA motherboard even as the drive of origin 8 Win.  Well, at some point when I use two hard drives, one of them should be connected to another plug SATA on the MB - but not yet.

  Well... How do I fortunately to this stage so far?

• Cannot boot from Win 8.1 installation disk

  My mother has a Dimension 3000 system that works under XP and now I am trying to install WIndows 8.1 so that she can use banking online again. The problem is that it does not start from the installation disc.

  I have upgrade BIOS A03 and update all drivers using the driver Booster 2. Now the system is set at the first start of the CD-ROM, then HARD drive but it ends to always boot from the HARD drive. I'm at about 400 km, so I'll try to help him by phone. I tested for a start from the disc on my own XP and haven't had any problem so the drive is fine. I also ran the upgrade on its system Wizard, and everything was fine.

  I don't understand what is wrong, no matter who?

  bgtb

  Thank you. OK, so the problem is dimensions 3000 cannot boot from a DVD, only a CD?

  Since that she already bought (32-bit OEM) license and opened it, I doubt it will be returned, so I would try to make work in all cases, if that doesn't work I'll have to get a new PC.

  If copy us the contents of the DVD on a USB maybe we can boot from that? I'll give you a call tonight.

  The system is 10 years old... BIOS A00 - August 2004. The latest version of the BIOS is 8 years old February 2006. This system may be too old to be able to boot from USB.

  Other problems exist, the standard installed memory was of 0.5 to 1 GB, 1 GB is minimum requirements so it may also need to be upgraded.

  As mentioned in the video, Intel 82865 G is not supported by Intel for Windows Vista or later. For Vista/7, there are a few things that you can use so that it can work, but even then not very much. It will only use the generic driver for Windows 8.1 and the screen will be blurred.

  In addition, the systems hard drive is IDE and probable with a low capacity. The hard drive being the most likely component to fail and this type is no longer under production.

  So at least you'll need a DVD player, probably some memory and a video card. Even in this case the system doesn't always works well. I recommend wasting money in upgrading such an old machine. For the price of all these improvements, you can buy an OptiPlex 760/780 opportunity on eBay that come with a license of Windows 7. As you have already purchased the Windows 8.1, you could same source on an OptiPlex 745/755 and use your Windows 8.1 this license. All these systems will perform much better than the Dimension 3000.

  Of course, you can also look to a new system, the new Dell Inspiron is very cheap and can be done for $230:

  http://www.Dell.com/us/p/Inspiron-3646-small-desktop/PD?OC=fdcwnt7101h&model_id=Inspiron-3646-small-desktop

  While it is a low-end model compared to the Dimension 3000, it is a significant improvement.

• can not boot from cd/dvd

• Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD

  My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
  So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.

  Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!

  So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)

  -J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.

  Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?

  As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)

  Bad new boyfriend!
  Boot from external DVD USB drive is NOT possible!

  You can start only from the inside, ODD, HARD, LAN disk and external USB FDD (floppy)

  I have in the past used my drive recovery to completely re - install vista and start from a fresh version.

  However, I tried this once and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.

  Can someone tell me what it is and how to reinstall vista?

  Hmm. strange.
  Are you sure you have the right recovery disk?

• Satellite M45: Cannot boot from the CD-ROM or HARD drive

  I get the following messages...

  WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table".

  At the START of the CD: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM.
  By so, even though I have the recovery CD and the computer can not read them.

  I tried to change the order of boot without result. Created a bootable CD Bart, who works in my other computer, but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers, I need for this CD?
  I'm out on this one.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

  It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
  Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

  However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
  If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
  If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

• Satellite L500-131 - it can boot from eSATA?

  Hello

  I want to buy a Toshiba Satellite L500-131, but first I want to know information about the BIOS of the L500.

  In the BIOS you have a choice to boot on the eSATA/player device?

  Thank you for your answer

  Excuse me for my bad English

  Nice day

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that you cannot boot from the external HARD drive.
  Before buy you, you can also talk with your local dealer about this.

• 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.
