• Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

  Equium A100-549

  My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

  I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

  While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

  Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

  Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
  Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

  Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

  Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

  Any info / help much appreciated

  Hello Nick

  Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

  If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.

  Since there is no integration PAM for ESXi, you cannot authenticate to ESXi itself using active directory.  -What are you talking about?  You can always have virtual machine with windows and active directory.

  Dell has a touch screen F12 on boot options, but vista says to put in disk, press on restart and then repair, but what happens if I can't do it at the start or the dvd - rom does not start when I reboot?

  and if it doesn't it's really complicated? I ran disk cleanup and repair. I ran to check memory, I had 140 GB free out of 240 GB, I ran two restorations system back to dates before I installed the drivers from dell, everything worked fine until last night, now dell takes to always to get to the windows startup takes part and windows to start even in safe mode.

  I ran all the controls sytem dell pc and everything passes .so should I put the disc and hit restart? and should I first go to where he gives the choice to load some stuff or normally loads at startup, and which one should I use all or just selective to go until I reboot. Thanks for any help you can offer, because it runs now I don't even want to turn it off.

• Alienware X 51 R1 unable to boot from the CD

  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.

  Installation boot is CD/DVD, USB, CD/DVD or HARD drive.

  Any help would be appreciated, I will try to answer all questions as well.

  Calling Customer Service would be good, but they try to charge me...

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

• How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

  How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

  @AirForce9731,

  You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

  These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

  Hi sedonatom,

  1 did you change on your computer before this problem?

  2. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  3. What is the error message true blue screen that you receive?

  I suggest you run chkdsk from the Windows Recovery Environment and verify if you are able to start correctly on the desktop.

  
  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  one) to boot into the Windows recovery environment, you can follow this link:

  Repairs to the system of Windows recovery environment

  (b) to the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt, type the following command and then press enter on the keyboard:

  CHKDSK [/ p]: [/ r]

  Note: At first, try to run chkdsk/p & check if it helps. Later, you can run chkdsk/r.

  Hope the helps of information.

• Need help recovering from a blue screen. I re from the installation discs on hand and not intend to save all data currently on the hard disk.

  A number of months ago one of our computer got a virus and has gradually become unusable. He started as a kind of spyware, that obviously was not what it seemed. Now, we are to receive a blue screen every time we try to start the computer if I try in safe mode it brings me to the "Administrator" or "name of the wife." When I click on one of these he says it saves the parameters and then returns the same screen. I received what I believe to be the re installation of Dell discs, but now I don't know how to access. Thanks advance!

  If you have a Dell recovery disk, put it in the optical drive and restart the computer. As the computer starts, press the F12 key and choose to boot from the optical drive. The restore disc will start and that you follow the instructions.

  If you have a true Dell disk operating system, follow the steps above to boot from the disc of the operating system. Here are the links explaining how to do a fresh install of XP. Once your operating system is installed, you will then need to install the drivers for all your hardware. If you have received a genuine Dell OS disk you have too a disc called "Dell Resource CD". This CD has all of the drivers. Put in the drive, install the application, and then install the drivers that are found.

  Don't forget to update XP Service Pack 3 and make all Windows updates. Update of the common as programs Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, etc. for the latest versions. Install a good antivirus like NOD32 (commercial), Avast or Avira (free versions available).

  > Thanks, but how do I boot from a cd rom usb drive? I don't have any usb floppy drive
  You need to first boot the bootable disc using a bootable diskette floppy drive!
  Then a driver would be loaded that allows you to boot from the CD/DVD drive

• 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

• Can not boot from the recovery disc - 0x000000D1 Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_Equal

  original title: cannot boot from the Vista recovery disc

  A real problem. Vista is prompting me to boot from my recovery disc and allow the repair of Windows. However, when I insert the disk it shows loading Windows, but once he starts to launch I get the BSOd with the "Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_Equal" error report with the error code Stop 0x000000D1. I searched on advice but all I can get into the repair mode, but I can't. F8 does not work in safe mode. Week last ChkDisc has run on every start and yesterday I received a number of parts of Vista won't load does not with error reports. Today, it started with Windows can not load the warning and instructions for use the recovery disk... I'm in a loop as I cannot cross the BSOD! Help please

  Computers are strange animals. After my response to you, I had another attempt to go beyond the blue screen. Hey hop this time my computer decided that he had enough rest and proceeded without delay to start and I would like to action, the recovery disk. There then reinstall Windows Vista and am now to a new computer! It's time to move to Windows 7! The only thing I did yesterday was to unplug my printer to my laptop!

• Unable to boot from the recovery CD to reformat the laptop

  Hello

  I just got my HP restore CD and tried to reformat my computer laptop dv6 windows 7, however it would not boot from the CD. When I insert the CD and reboot the laptop, I pressed F11 to access the screen, it says to insert the CD and follow the prompt but nothing happens.

  No idea how I can boot from the CD?

  Thank you

  Try the next method.

  Judgment of the laptop.

  Tap next to the ESC key as you power to access the start menu.

  Insert the 1 recovery disk.

  Press f9 to access the Boot Manager, use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  If you get a prompt to "Press any key to continue..." ", do.

• Unable to boot from the CD as it should a BIOS password, but I don't know it

  Hi all!

  I have MS Surface unit with Vista Service Pack 2 installed. And try to boot from the cd to create a system image.
  But I can't enter the BIOS (friend) because the password is required. I don't know the password.
  Please, advise what should I do then?

  Hello

  Passwords of the Bios, contact the manufacturer of the machine

  I'm sorry, but the strategy of microsoft in these forums is that without assistance will be given about lost or forgotten passwords

• Black screen at startup, unable to boot from the CD

  I did something wrong on my Thinkpad T43 2668, now I have Black Boot screen cannot Access IBM, can not press a function key, cannot start from the CD.  Here's what I did:

  1 got unwanted winxp sp3 updates automatic, then restored to the permeable point via Windows XP system restore, then, cannot start system; cannot boot from the Windows XP CD

  2 2 demarrer start from Linux Live CD, format hard drive and install ubuntu, hidden Partition of domain is not deleted, always there;

  3. can start Linux OS, but black screen on startup. There is no way to see what's happening at startup; Pressing a key of function or IBM bottons returns no result, always boot in Linux;

  4. cannot boot from any CD bootable legal except Ubuntu Live CD;

  5. no means of access Bios to set the boot sequence, therefore, cannot boot from USB floppy either.

  Advice is appreciated!

  PS. I tried Linux live CD some time ago before this trouble, click on "help me to boot from CD", got something installed. I guess it's something installed out of the box and that is why now I can boot from a Linux Live CD.
