  Hi Ted,

  You are welcome

  Boot into the bios menu and go to the very section where you have disabled the Secure Boot.

  Find an entry called materials and this value to Activate.

  Save the changes and exit the bios.

  Tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Select boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

• Can I set up my HP dv7-4165dx to boot from the second hard drive?

  I got a HP dv7-4165dx for about 20 months now. Ten months in the original hard drive burned due to setting up directly under the GPU (lower left corner, to the left of the touchpad and under the keys), which gets quite hot on the top to make your uncomfortable hand. Symptoms include blue screens, troubled during start-ups, as well as a message from the system at boot that said the car was damaged. As it was under warranty, I brought it to Best Buy to get the drive replaced, which took about 2.5 months.

  Now, about 20 months, I face at the beginning of the exact same symptoms. I noticed that there was a second HDD Bay, away from the GPU, so I bought the yarn necessary to the use of this Bay. Now, he tells me that there is no installed boot drive (the hard drive test in the system diagnostics, knows that it is there). I'm sure that I can swap the drive towards the original Bay and be fine but that puts me $ 75 for the HP kit (Yes, I know I might have to eat that, if there is no way), but much more importantly, this means that I will have an another burned (losing everything, even once) by car a month or two.

  I looked, but I can't seem to find a way to tell it boot from that drive. Is it possible, or am I just out of the eye due to bad design? It has been a great machine, except for this problem.

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no option to boot from the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay in one of the series dv7 - sorry for the bad news.

  Best regards

• Satellite C650D is not booting from the CD

I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive and I like it start I press F12, but it goes directly to the HARD drive password screen. I change the setting to prevent fast boot but still no change.

  The only way I can boot from the CD is to remove the HARD drive.

  Are there any other settings that I can change to make it boot from the CD?

• 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?

  BTW, this is Windows 7, I'm trying to get back to.

• Tecra M3 PTM30A will not boot from the cd to reinstall windows

  Hi all

  Totally new here and I have a question. I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died.
  I set the bios to boot from the cd. He reads the Windows XP cd for a minute then jump to trying to boot on the network adapter.

  Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?
  If it can boot from a normal cd is the stuffed ROM or am I missing something?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

  Hello

  > I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died

  Your new hard drive is recognized by the Bios?

  > Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?

  You can use a recovery (if available) disk or Windows disk copy. In the Bios, you must set the Cd/DVD-ROM as 1st boot device and press F10 save and exit. Turn it back on. Thus, your computer you should start the installation of the Cd drive.

• How to boot from the CD of Win XP to install the OS on Satellite L

  I put the boot options in the main BIOS to the first device: CD/DVD, Second device: SATA HDD, third device: device Realtek agent, but still goes to the SATA and the existing program.

  There is another box of selection of Boot with SATA as the first device, like the second DVD and it is obviuos that it is the sequence that is followed.
  He spend the top and down arrow to move the selection and ENTER to select the boot device.

  When I press ENTER the screen goes black program starts from the SATA.

  Why are there two boxes of sepearte for Boot Order selection?

  This seems an idea of garbage since they can be set to clash; as is the case in my case.

  If anyone has had this problem or know the answer correct?

  Hello

  I think you mixed with something.
  The boot order can be set as on the other laptop models.
  The second SATA option can set to AHCI or compatibility mode.
  This is necessary because the new laptops with the new SATA HDD controller. Usually Win XP doesn't do not contains the drivers for SATA HDD controller and if you want to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers then you might be the SATA in compatibility mode.

  PS: If you want to boot from the STRANGE then you should press button C immediately after to laptop computer has been turned on. You can also press F12 to activate the start on-screen menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as a boot device.

  See you soon

• Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

  Hey all,.

  I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

  Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

  I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

  The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

  I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

  When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

  What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

  Help!

  Hi Jamie,

  Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

  If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

  Kind regards

• Cannot boot from the CDROM on a satellite A100-549

  Hello.

  I think I have a problem with my BIOS because I can't start something of my CDROM.

  I removed the recovery off the DVD-ROM drive CD and restarted my computer.

  Then set up the boot sequence to boot from the CD, and nothing happened.
  My laptop just start with the normal boot sequence, I mean from the hard drive.

  I put a livecd for the CDROM drive and the effect was the same, the cd does not start and the computer began the ususal boot sequence.

  Can someone tell what is the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try to use all possible methods to set ODD as first boot device:
  1. press the key C immediately after switching on the unit, keep it down for a few seconds
  2 put in the BIOS
  3. choose F12 after departure upward and choose the CD/DVD device

  Honestly, it's very strange and if nothing helps, maybe you should contact your dealer or authorized Toshiba service partner directly. They check the disc.

  BTW: have you noticed any other problems with ODD Windows?

• How can I configure Satellite A300-148 boot from the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I had some problems when trying to install MAC - OSX, for her, where the partition table is deleted, then I retrieve the entire score as it is, but I can not start in any case.
  Then I decide temproraly install another copy of vista drive Vista (not the partition), then set up my laptop to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall the good copy.
  My problem is, it's all here, the only problem is, I need to configure the system to boot from the recovery partition.

  My device is:
  Satellite A300-148

  Thanks to the device.
  Ahmed.

  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• Pavilion p6 2408eb Desktop PC: cannot access the bios to boot from the disk

  Hello

  I have virus and spyware on my PC. I want to reinstall my drive c with windows 7 instead of 8.1 or at least perform a system recovery, but I can't boot from the drive.

  The only items on google I can find state I must disable secure boot and then enter the bios to set the boot order so it starts on the first disc.

  The problem is that my monitor is idle (power light flashes) when I try to enter the BIOS. I tried to type esc/f11/f1 or press del to enter bios but my monitor then is idle and never enters the BIOS or go to the windows start screen. If it recognizes clearly that I typed bios key because he won't go to the windows startup screen after that pressing said key.

  I also tried recovery windows and tool HP system recovery but at a certain point, it asks me to restart the pc and here again he is stuck at the idle monitor... I never see the start-up of the screen or the other, one that says "press x to enter the bios. My computer will always directly to the windows splash screen once I started.

  Any idea what I might try next?

  Hello

  Consult this publication article before attempting the downgrade of your PC to Windows 7. I have no recommemd making a downgrade on Windows 8 is superior to Windows 7.

  The default settings for the BIOS of your PC 8 version are: inherited and secure boot disabled.

  Erasing the CMOS memory will bring back the default values and then you should be able to start the Windows 7 installation media.

  This similar model PC will have Windows 7 drivers.

  If you have not created the external HP recovery media then you must order at HP if you decide to go back to Windows 8.

  Hi the prey,

  ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

  You should check the settings of the computer BIOS (Basic Input\Output System) to boot from the CD/DVD. Check the manual or the support of the computer Web site for the same.

  Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

  Run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your computer is compatible to install Windows 7.

  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.
