• HP ENVY 17-n013na: the Legacy BIOS boot option does not work

  Support dear HP team,

  I recently bought for laptop HP ENVY 17-n013na .  It came with Windows 8.1. I have to install Windows 7. Unfortunately, the legacy in BIOS boot option does not work for me. Here is detailed information:

  BIOS version: F.04 Rev 5.0

  I tried updating to the latest version of the BIOS on the Support site.

  To activate the option to boot legacy, I followed the following steps:

  • Entered, BIOS configuration utility
  • Go to the System Configuration
  • > Boot options
  • Changed the setting to the Legacy Support on " Enabled"
  • F10 - save changes & exit

  Now, after the restart, if I go once more, configuration of the BIOS Legacy Support is set to disabled. Whenever I have change to active BIOS, Save & Exit, it is up to the people with reduced mobility. Because of that I can't run the installer of Windows 7 DVD.

  Please provide any help & suggestions.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Eugene

• Boot from the external drive via eSATA

  Hi all
  I have an external drive which I'm currently starting as a USB device.  The outside also has an eSATA port that I want to be able to boot from. However, when I go into the bios boot area to choose the boot order, there is no option to start using eSATA, USB only.  The Port of the computer's eSATA/USB port.
  This is so my question, how can I get the bios boot option to be able to select an eSATA?
  Thanks for the help

  From what I can find, HP didn't include the option to boot from the port eSATA on this computer.

  Many others have asked about this on the HP forum.

  I would check with HP support, however, since it is the BIOS that must support this function.

  Windows cannot change it.

  See this thread.

• Starts the Powerbook g3 pismo of the external drive?

  Hello, all,.

  
  

  I want to start my Powerbook G3 (Pismo) running OS 9.2.2 since the restore in one disc external hard drive. (PB knows he has a drive hard internal , but the drive does not read discs in there.) The computer goes up the disc - its own restore disk - when it comes starts with Macintosh HD as a player start, but when I try to use the restore disc as commissioning, starts to drive to go up, but the door opens. Even if I hold the door closed, the computer starts low to halfway and glued in place: first, the question mark flashing, then commissioning with Macintosh HD but then freeze it.

  This happens even if I chose as the startup disk restore disk in the startup configuration panel. This means that I can't even begin to use disk utility to clean the hard drive of the computer. I did that with two other computers (reset several times), but those who had internal functioning disks. Is it possible that I can do this computer using the external drive as the boot? I read that the G3 Pismo that allows. I know I can get someone to take out the hard disk and smash, but I expect much prefer to destroy it myself. And I can understand how to remove the hard drive, but it seems to imply a boatload of maneuvers and some tools that I have, at the present time. I would not completely destroy the computer. It would be good for recyclers to be able to retrieve some parts, though they might be useful to someone.

  It is possible that I can't boot from the restore disc in the external drive, but maybe there's something that I have not yet tried. It seems crazy that the external hard drive with the restore disc appears on the desktop with a normal restart, and I can choose as boot drive but can't seem to complete commissioning. If anyone has any ideas on this subject, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you.

  Are you trying to boot the PowerBook to an external optical drive that is connected to a USB port or your external drive connectivity FireWire?  If it is USB, that is the problem.  The reading of an optical drive connected by USB is one thing, but start since it is a different matter.  Unfortunately, your Pismo is not capable of this.

• How can I initialize with a previous osx of the external drive?

  About 4 years ago I installed Snow Leopard on an external drive while I was running Snow Leopard on the main drive. I wanted to load a lot of video on this player to be able to use the version of Snow Leopard of iMovie when I updated the main drive. However, when I upgraded to the Mavericks (recently in Yosemite), he would list is no longer the disc of Snow Leopard when I pressed down option. And when I went to preferences/Startup and chose to start with Snow Leopard, it would not be completed the boot process.

  If I use disk utility and create a partition to use for initializing with Snow Leopard, space-how much should I assign this partition? The external drive is 1 t and it is full of 50%.

  Also, I have a 500 GB internal drive I removed a Mac deceased and put in an envelope. There are also Snow Leopard. After the partition is created, can I exchange the two external drives to be used on the same partition? What I want to do with the box HD's boot up with it, then install Mountain Lion.

  I want to give to anyone who helps me the credit, but I have 3 questions under one heading. Is there a way to get triple credit?

  I'm starting to get lost with all these drives, partitions and 4 versions OSX.

  I wonder what happened to your old Snow Leopard.  You always use the same computer that you used with Snow Leopard? A Mac can start only in the operating system with which it is originally came or newer.  Your profile information from computer to the bottom of your post mentions a 2012 MacBook Pro which is not a Snow Leopard machine.

  How much space depends on how you'll use it and how you configure.  I would like to make at least 30 GB so there is a little space, wiggle but if you start to install the applications then 60 + GB.

  I know most recent disk utilities are supposed to be able to resize partitions without erasing but I'll make sure you have solid backups first.

  You can assign a 'resolved' and two "helpfuls".

• Window Vista Ultimate 2007 backup files empty on the external drive.

  The computer is a desktop HP running Windows Vista Ultimate 2007, 32 Bit OS, RAM 400 GB and Intel Quad CPU 2 .4GHz.

  I ran Windows Vista backup for a full backup and a backup of the file.  When I look at the external disk to verify the backup files are empty.  There are two created on the external hard drive, but both files are empty.  The program indicates that the backup routine successfully on the external drive. I have not received any error message.

  I use a Toshiba external drive with 500 + GB.  I have a lot of room.  I tried twice.  The first time I reformatted the external drive using Windows and revived the full backup only.  Once again the image file on the external drive shows 0 bytes, 0 files.

  I wonder why the backup files are not getting moved on the external drive.

  Hi BEM Consult,.

  1. are you allowing Windows to choose recommended backup or you choose "Let me pick" option on the backup configuration window?

  We recommend that you connect the external hard drive on another computer and check if the size of the backup file is in the list.

  Check if you have selected all the items in the backup settings to create a backup file. Try to create a new backup file by selecting all items on the Backup Wizard and check the result.

• Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

  Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

  Thank you

  LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

  If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

  If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

• You want to move install Bootcamp or VM VMWare on the external drive and run it from there.

  I have two versions of Windows 7 on my iMac 24 "4 GB. One is a Bootcamp of Win 7 Professional installation.  One is a computer virtual from Windows 7 in VMWare Mac OSX. The two windows installs work well (the Bootcamp we're NOT accessible through VMWare right now).

  I want to do is get AN installation running on a partition on the external drive I connected. I have 3 partitions on a disk of T 1.  A 500 GB for Time Machine and 2 250 GB, Mac OSX and a Fat32.

  What I wish really is a straight Win BOOTABLE install on Fat 32 partitions, but will sag to move the VMWare installation to the outside OSX partition.

  Are there ways to do?  I thought Winclone, but as it is in oblivion I don't know about use.

  Any ideas?

  With the Virtual Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed copy the target Virtual Machine hard disk external package and double-click it to launch the first time and it will fill an entry on the Virtual Machine library.

  The extent of the running Windows natively on a disk external Windows is not capable of it in itself although there may be some ways according to the type of external hard drive and various Boot Loader/managers that are out there.

• New itunes install. All the songs are on an external hard drive. A lot of songs do not show up in itunes, but they are in the folder on the external drive.

  This seems to be a common problem:

  Recently I had to reinstall Win 10 & then itunes. All the songs are on an external HD iTunes does not show a large number of songs that are in the folder on the external drive. I copied the .itl to the new itunes folder. I also tried holding down - from itunes shift - select a library. Any ideas how to be able to see the songs in the itunes on the hard drive folder in the itunes library?

  Thanks in advance

  Steve

  See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system. If you have to start creating your new library in an iTunes folder to the root of the external drive and move all the media inside... \iTunes\iTunes Media before adding to the library.
