I put a new hard drive in my old computer that was made for me.when I turn on my computer I can't get past the list of pci devices and after a minute, a disk read error comes up and tells me to restart by pressing ctrl alt and DEL, pluse it says I have no emulation. I appreciate all the help

Hi helenelajoie,

· What is the exact error message that you receive with the error code?

· What is the system configuration?

It seems that the hard drive is not detected, check if the hard drive is detected in the BIOS.

Important: changing the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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.

  • Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

    Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

    Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

    1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
    2. Remove the DVD writer.
    3. Restarting the laptop.
    4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
    5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
    6. Closing.
    7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

    On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

    What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

    I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

    "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

    I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

    I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

    Nikki,

    You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

    To do:
    -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
    -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
    -Click on device high Managerin left
    -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
    -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

    BTW that dog rox in this avitar

    Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

    Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

    What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

    IDE channel (x 4)

    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

    Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

    The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

    in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the information I have:

    HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

    Thanks again for any help.

    Hello
     
    1. do you have the software installed on the computer of CD/DVD burning?
     
    Check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
    Step 1: We also recommend to uninstall the CD/DVD burning software, if you have everything installed, restart the computer and check the result.
    Scan for the device in Device Manager. To do this, try the following steps.
    1. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.
    2. click on one of the items in the list, click the Action menu and click Scan for hardware changes.
    3. check if the CD/DVD is displayed.

    For more assistance on this, contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

  • Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

    Hello

    I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

    I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

    The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
    This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

    Any help would be great,

    Thank you

    Hello

    Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
    As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
    So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

    Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

    Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
    It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
    I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

  • cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

    I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

    I've noticed lately that my x-51 R1 running Windows 7, is unable to boot from the CD/DVD drive using the UEFI. I tried with a CD of Linux for the class, and I'm trying to reset my HP MediaSmart Server old ancestors via a disk recovery and in two attempts, the computer will boot directly from the HARD drive.

    The UEFI boot sequence does not take too kindly to optical drives. It is best to make a USB bootable using Rufus:

    For an example, see here:

  • Satellite L40-139 can boot from a USB device?

    Hello

    I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I can't find an option to boot from a device USB like a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if the L40-139 can boot from USB and is thus the configuration of the BIOS for this.

    If she can not someone knows if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?

    I must admit that, although I love the L40, I am disappointed how to limit the BIOS is.

    -Computer laptop Ethernet

    The USB boot option do not appear.

    My BIOS Version is: 01.04 worm. M71 (24/02/2015)

    Note: I tested my USB key installation in the other laptop and it works very well.

    Thank you for your support.

    Yes, I know Rufus. How I said, I tried my USB in another laptop (a HP ENVY m4 laptop) and work very well. The difference is that the HP ENVY gave me the option to boot from USB and the EliteBook does not.

    I realized that, since the post, you did.

    I suggested RUFUS and EFI create setup of windows due to the startup problem, that you have with the Elitebook 840.

    It may be just what you need for this particular laptop.

    If you want this to work, then you must be flexible and willing to solve the problems.

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version.

I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Unable to boot from USB 3.0 E430

    Hello community!

    I recently got a ThinkPad E430, and I love it.  I have a minor problem with the boot.

    As a Linux user, I regularly boot from usb and cd while trying different distributions and whatnot.  However, I discovered that I can't boot from my USB 3.0 ports.  Not only that, but my computer does not start if I have nothing plugged into them.

    I first thought that I had faked my dd command in the transfer of the image, but the usb key works from the 2.0 port. So I thought maybe it was the usb key itself, but this happens with all my usb 2.0 flash drives and 3.0.

    I noticed a recent bios update a few days, but I don't want to go through the trouble, if she does not really bring all the benefits.  Actually looking at the itt changelog says that it only supports to the B430.

    I guess I would really just know if others in the face of this problem.  Thank you!

    My E430 fine boots of USB3.0 ports.

  • Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

    Hello

    I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

    Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

    After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

    Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

    The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

    Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

    Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Michael

    Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

    Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

    OK I fixed that.

    First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
    However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

    After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

    It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

    I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
    The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

    Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

  • Unable to boot from USB thumbdrive running ESXi 5

    I have a workstation xw6600 I used as my sandbox for ESXi from 4.0. So I decided it was time to become familiar with ESXi 5, so before starting to run our upgrade to ESXi 5 in all our servers I wanted to update my own sandbox. I tried first of all to make an update to 4.1 update 1 who does not like I special HP drivers installed, so I decided to make a brand new install ESXi 5 using VMware bootable CD. The installation seems to be successful, but when the supposed to reboot from the USB system I get the typical mistake of the BIOS indicates that no BONES were found "no disk system or disk error." ». For a year I've been running ESXi in this system without problems. I am currently starting from 4.1 update 1 from a USB, if I look that the problem was the installation process in my sandbox (after hours of troubleshooting and several creations of CD), so I did an installation in one of our server (DL360G7). Everything went find I could only start in ESXi 5 no problem (using the same CD I create above). I took this USB to my sandbox and tried to boot from it and still the same error. I can not even boot my laptop from the USB. Does anyone know what changes to the startup procedure in ESXi 5 compare to ESX 4.0?

    From my understanding, if you create a new 5.0 installation, then it will only start using UEFI.

    However, if you upgrade an ESXi in 5.0, it retains the original MBR boot.

    See you soon.
