TravelMate 2480. I can't change the boot order.

Hello
I thought I posted this before, but I can't find the post.
 
I have two laptops from Acer 2480.
2480-2943 and 2480-2247.
The 2943 is my laptop everyday.
I keep the 2247 as a backup.
Both running XP Home.
I used the 2247 to clone my desktop hard drive.
I need to change the boot order so that I could reboot from the hard disk and not get hung up on the USB hard drive.
I put it to boot from USB before Primory hard disk a few years so that I can boot from a USB key.
In the BIOS, when I try to change the boot order by moving the internal hard drive upward, using the ' Shift + ' I hear a beep and nothing happens.
I changed the front boot order but now I can't.
There is no password.
So I tried e the same on the 2943 and found I have the same problem with that.
I changed the boot on this one before order.

Any ideas?
Joe

Instead of pressing "Shift +" to change the position, use the arrow keys to highlight the item you want to move and press F6 or F7 to change the boot priority.

  • How to change the boot order for the applications to the taskbar?

    When I moved to W7, software of my trackball wouldn't work and Kensington wouldn't fix, so I moved to a conventional mouse. I recently bought a better mouse and it has its own software. The software works very well, the problem is that it starts towards the end of the boot sequence. I would like to start earlier. The problem is that all the research I've done changing the order of departure come back with how to change the order of display in the taskbar.

    How can I change the boot order for the applications to the taskbar for the software for the mouse, boots earlier in the list?

    Windows does not have native to adjust the boot order, but there are third party solutions. See

  • Re: Satellite A50 - how can I change the boot with BIOS password priority?

    I have a Satellite A50. I need to restore to factory default to recover DVD, how do I boot from the DVD?

    The default boot priority is the HARD drive and is more bootable has been formatted. My BIOS is password protected, how can I change the boot priority? After having inserted the password, its always boot from the HARD drive.

    Thank you

    The boot priority, that you can change in the BIOS.
    Go into the BIOS with ESC, enter your password and then you can change it.
    But don t forget to save the changes.

    That s all and then you can boot from the CD.

  • Elite 8000 LTS: can ' t get into the BIOS to change the boot order

    I want to change the boot order to allow booting from the ISO disks.

    Keyboard F10 doesn't bring up the BIOS screen, and the machine starts just in Win7.

    What works is by exchanging the mouse and keyboard usb for mouse and existing keyboars.

    Looks like that the installation of Win 7 bothered recognition of USB designs.

  • Satellite R630-141 - cannot change the boot order

    I have a Toshiba R630-141 and I'm changing the boot order in the Bios, but the Bios does not allow me to choose my cd drive or a USB drive as the startup disk.

    I've updated the Bios today to the latest version, thinking that I need the latest version but still the Bios allows me to change the order.

    The problem is the screen flashes only when I'm in the form of change of boot order. When I select the upper and down arrows to select an option in the box just blinks and does not allow me to select any option.

    I tried the tab key, the number keys basically all of the keys that I on the keyboard, and still, I can't select usb or cd drive so I have to quit and restart.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi scarpentier,

    You can change the boot order in the BIOS and booting from another boot device? Go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Enter a startup disk (e. g. Toshiba recovery disc), save & exit the BIOS Setup. The computer will restart and should boot from the CD.

    Check this box!

    I'm trying to install a new copy of windows 10 but currently it does not show an option to boot from usb. There are only two options i.e. BONE Boot Manager, BOOT from the file of EFI. I need to go into BIOS to change the boot order, but it asks for administrator password.

    I don't remember set the BIOS password on my laptop, and yet I've tried some of the passwords mentioned on the forums but none of them worked. I can't remove CMOS battery, which is part of the solution, because it requires for me to disassemble the laptop.

    Please suggest me any solution that I have not been able to understand all other sources.

    Note: USB is made bootable and perectly to work on another pc.

  • How to change the boot order in Windows 7.

    I have a 64-bit operating system and I'm trying to remove windows 7 and install Vista. When I press F8, I take to a screen that does not allow me to change the boot order. If Windows 7 keeps on loading and the DVD are never read. How can I change the options, then the boot order is changed and the DVD are read and I can install Vista.

    Help please.

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their books online and ask in their forums (if any).

    Configuration/settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen that will tell you how-
    the order of boot on CD/DVD drive everything first. Some systems use F12 or other keys to allow a time change
    in the boot order.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to change the boot order, XPS 13 (9350)?

    New XPS 13 in front of me. I want to clean install the OS on this machine. In my XPS 15, (L502X), the BIOS has been designed so that even I was able to understand things, such as changing the boot order so that I can start off the coast a USB. But in the 13 I'm not finding it so intuitive. I'm sure it's me, but I had rather not fuss around and screw things, so I thought I would come here to ask: what are the steps to change the order of boot on this machine? Thank you.

    Recovery settings, update. Or let tapping F12 boot menu access, as soon as you restart the system. No need to start Media bios changes. Not a good idea to clean install windows on a new computer. This procedure is old technology and not necessary on new models of uefi and can cause irreparable damage. Windows and all the rest is a single image file not installed piecemeal, as years ago. You will screw things if you apply old procedures to a whole new operating system.

  • Re: Satellite A210-10 has, crashes when you change the boot order

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my computer Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32-bit, clocked at 1.8 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, AMD Turion 64 x 2
    There is only a single disk partitioned into two drives of 75 GB (C and E).

    The problem is that whenever I enter the start menu (for boot from CD), or if I change in the BIOS boot order and restart, the computer hangs (power cut off suddenly).
    So the only way to recover, is to connect the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 minutes and repeat. Then, everything lights up normally or launches of Windows system recovery, after what he will restart and work very well.

    It would be important to know that I partitioned the drive to have 30 GB for installing Win7 later. The problem is that I've never tried to change the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know if it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.

    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It seems that the issue related to the Bios. Have you tried to put update or reflash?

    Maybe this has happened before, but you don't check.
