Tinkcentre M58e won't boot from the live CD

Hello, I'm back with my problem later. I can't get my computer to boot from a live CD. I went into the bios Setup and it can start first of all the optical drive and the hard drive second, but with a live CD in the player it always starts in Windows 7.

I know the CD is OK because my other computer starts on it. In addition, my optical drive seems to be OK. I can browse the LiveCD with Explorer, but I can't boot from it.

I have the latest version of the BIOS incidentally.

I got it fixed. Lenovo has just released an update of the BIOS and in its release notes, it says it has fixed a bug in the previous version, which did not allow the computer to boot from a CD/DVD. So I flashed the BIOS with the version update and now it works.

  • Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

    Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

    It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

  • Satellite L300D - impossible to find HWsetup, boot from the CD

    I have a big problem with my laptop.

    Sound on windows xp, I formatted it. All is well now. I wanted to install windows 7, I bought at the store.

    I try to install it but the laptop won't boot from the cd. I'm trying to get into the bios, no way to get... I try f2, f4, f8, f12, esc at the beginning that nothing worked. Ive was searching the Internet for more than 8 hours now and apparently I need HWSetup to use my BIOS. No problem, I got it I install on USB (Vista version). When I try to see the priority boot sequence, its empty, I don't see anything. I try to default restor it build a sequence, I moved cd ROM. upward. Reboot, do not work. I see hwsetup and sequence disapeard even once, I tried like time 5 did not work.

    I though that it was because it's the version of vista and I am using windows xp now, so I tried to find the HWSETUP for windows xp and guess what, IMPOSSIBLE to find. After a few hours trying, I decided to post here.

    So it is impossible to boot to my cd Oh and yes my cd drive works fine.

    Please help me!

    Hi ranmyus,

    Hwsetup you can download from the official website of Toshiba if you search through Satellite L300D and Windows XP. For Windows XP, but it is called utilities and * not * HWsetup:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    As far as I know, you can change the boot order in the BIOS if you press the F2 key.
    In addition the start menu you can access when you press the F12 key after you have turned on the computer.

    It works when you connect an external keyboard?

  • HP Pavilion p7-1414 will not boot from the CD

    Hello

    I recently bought your desktop HP Pavilion p7 1414, I am trying to boot from a CD to reinstall Windows 8 - I put the CD to start first in the BIOS, but when I restart the computer and I have the CD, "press any key to boot from the CD" is not displayed.  It starts just directly to the computer HARD disk in Windows to connect.

    I have 64-bit Windows 8. 6 GB of RAM and a terabyte of HARD drive space.  I'm looking to reinstall Windows 8 for a new start.  Any ideas why it won't boot from the CD?

    Very happy!

    After installing the OS (Win2K) on my virtual machine, it will not be able to boot from the CD.  I don't know how to boot from the CD.  I need to run a repair on the BONE because when I originally created the virtual machine I have only the CPU to the attributes.  So, I assigned a second processor on the virtual machine, but I need to run the repair for the HAL for multi-cpu operation.

  • Boot from the CD-ROM in windows 8

    I want to make my dual boot Pc of windows 8 and ubuntu 12.10. The problem is that I can't start either from a live CD or a USB key. I followed the instructions I found on the internet, but none of them were useful. I need to note, as I noticed that this fact is Important, that I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 so it came preinstalled by the manufacturer. I have a Hp pavilion computer g6.

    To be more specific: in mode bios I put the boot order to boot from a CD, but it won't yet give me an option to boot from the cd and it runs automatically on windows. When I tried, but by using a USB key I'd get a software option missing even though I'm sure that the data has been stored correctly in

    Problem solved. It turns out that you do not create a bootable usb key as you would with windows, but you need to use the unetbootin software and it worked. Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated

  • NB100 will not boot from the XP CD in the external USB CD/DVD drive

    I try to install XP Home in my NB100
    The netbook still refuses to boot from the XP CD. It's just not more
    Returns the current operating system (Ubuntu) or give the error "Could not find NTLDR" dreaded.
    And yet - it will boot from an Ubuntu Live CD disk perfectly fine, AND

    Portable satellite) that the machine starts quite successfully since the XP CD
    in the same external drive!

    Can anyone throw any light on what is happening on Earth on?

    Hello

    There are various reasons why this error message:
    In most cases this error because the laptop is trying to boot from a HARD drive or flash drive that is not configured correctly. Maybe the drive is not bootable or not compatible.

    It would also be possible that some sectors on the HARD disk, HARD drive failures are corrupt or BIOS is damaged. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is damaged.

    In your case I recommend that you format the first HARD drive before booting from the hard drive CD7DVD external using Win XP CD.

    By the way: you must add SATA driver to CD Win XP using nLite.
    The SATA driver is placed on the European driver Toshiba page in the Intel Storage Manager

    The SATA driver is needed to recognize the HDD by Win XP!

  • How to force boot from the CDROM on Satellite M40 183

    I have error in the MBR on the drive in my laptop, it doesent from disk, before I had put into hibernation system (Windows XP).

    Now, I can't force boot from the CDROM
    in the bios, CDROM is selected as first boot-> nothing
    on bootking, I am pressing end F12 choose CDROM icons-> notking
    on bootking by pressing 'c'-> notking

    and I have a problem:
    -system does not boot
    -recovery disk will not start, and I can't fix it :/

    I'm sure that the cd drive is right.

    I recognized before, makes this hibernation, it is imposible to boot from the cdrom

    but there must be a way to force anyway.

    Thanks for any help.

    Mateusz

    Hello Mateusz

    The hibernation mode cannot be responsible for this kind of question. I'm sure that this option is properly put to the test and if there is some sort of suspicion it won't be available more.
    If you have any problem with MBR, it can also be damaged by some kind of virus. As far as I know that the easiest way to repair or rebuild MBR is to run the standard Microsoft called FDISK utility with a parameter/MBR, as
    A:\ > FDISK. EXE/MBR
    FDISK is a standard utility included in MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98, me.

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Re: My Satellite P200 won't boot to the top

    Hi all
    Noobie here,
    I think I caused a problem wher my P200, it won't start, it was very slow and I went into the Task Manager and deleted some programs that were not running, but using the memory.
    In my view, there is a good chance I can I have deleted something that the system needs because it will not load upward.
    I turn it on and I get a light on the HARD drive to the front and a light in the dvd drive, but nothing else, I tried pressing F8 and put the recovery disc in but nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Appreciate any help.
    John

    I guess you are using the "F8" key to access Windows boot options and Windows is not to leave you. If this of * definitely * the case, then you must insert the recovery CD and change the device to boot from the screen as the laptop boot - can't remember which affects it is than its displayed on the bottom line. I think its possible that W7 can be repair o the problem and a full installation will be unnecessary

  • Portege R100 boots from the HARD drive - lack of operating system

    Hello

    I have a Portege R100 which won't the HD boot, I get the message "missing operating system".
    I don't have a compatible CD or floppy, I just about 1.8 inches for the hd, it works and I also have norton ghost 2003 is installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).

    I tried to recover the drive with the help of norton and the image of the Ghost in the recovery CD, but it keep asking for a password.

    I would like to know if there is a way to use the restore with norton CD and usb driver and password screen (or where I can get the password?).

    Thank you!

    What password do you mean?

    and what recovery CD do you use? The image on the Toshiba Recovery CD is locked and cannot be extracted.

    It turns out that you cannot start or install the OS on the USB key!
    You must boot from the CD/DVD compatible player that can be connected to the PC card slot.

  • Equium A210-1AS won't boot from a CD

    I have posted before on the blue screen UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME and decided to restore the computer.
    I can't access the HARD drive recovery.

    I created a my car windows recovery disk and changed the order of BIOS on a CD first after the Toshiba screen it goes to a black screen with a cursor blinking (_) and I can hear the disc moving, then switches back to windows (leading to blue screen).

    I also tried to create a Live CD of SLAX so I could see if it would start on it and able to recover files, but not the same black screen with cursor.
    I'll order a Toshiba restore CD, if 2 other CDs do not work, will be the only work of Toshiba?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Hmm the recovery disk Toshiba (that you created) must contain the SATA drivers already so you don t need the compatible SATA mode
    But I think you should try it

    Go to the BIOS and compatible SATA to AHCI mode value
    Then you should try to boot from the disk to recover again

    If this will not help and you would not be able to retrieve the HARD drive unit using the HDD recovery procedure you must check if the Toshiba recovery disc might help

    If that does not help, then a hardware failure is possible!

  • Windows 7 for Lenovo G50-70 - the computer will not boot from the CD

    Hello world

    I hope that someone here will be able to help

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 8.1. I want to install Windows 7 on that I know well because I can't use the new windows. I changed the settings in the BIOS to get the machine to boot from the CD, but it won't be fair. I also tried to restore the system to boot from the CD, but it installs just the Windows pre-installed, new instead. Also, I can't access the CD from the drive while all my other computers are capable of (what is strange)

    Can someone help, please?

    See you soon

    PS. : I can turn on the computer through the small "boot botton" on the side and select the DVD drive to boot from. But this is not followed by the message "Press any key to boot from CD" and the computer starts just W8 yet;

    I contacted customer service and followed your advice. They refused to help him on the ground that there nothing wrong with the machine in their opinion, and since I wanted to change operating system. All preinstalled spyprogrammes Lenovo has been erased with this downgrade. So far, I've owned a laptop computer brand new and expensive for a year I used only to waste my time, trying to make it work, that was not why I bought it in the first place. What a RIP-OFF!
