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

Kenny

Hello

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.

Kind regards

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

    http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    For an example, see here:

    If you make a recovery media using the latest version of Respawn Alienware be sure to use USB (USB key or external hard drive USB) and not a DVD media:

    I have download ESXi 3.5 VMware site, write on CD, but unable to boot from the CD, why? ESXi installation does not occur.

    Please help on this issue.

    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.

  • 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.

    > 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

    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.


  • OfficeJet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Unable to print from the laptop Windows XP

    Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop.  Printing is fine.  I have two computers on the same network of working group, file sharing is allowed.  My laptop detects the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem.  The disc supplied with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new office of windows 7.  I either get a message "Failed to print" or "the handle is invalid."  When I tried to connect to the printer via the network of sharing and tried to open it, I was told that the wrong drivers were located on the server.  He had the air of a file with *. INF.  Do I have the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop?  I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.

    Hello.  Finally, I was able to install additional drivers for XP on the server computer and can now print from the laptop.  Thanks for the help!

  • Unable to boot from USB recovery media

    I created my usb successfully recovery media using a pendrive of 32 GB. Of course, I don't want to test it. I started my ultrabook, and however, it would not begin the recovery USB. Clues? I pressed ESC several times and came in the start menu.

    F1 system information

    F2 System Diagnostics

    F9 boot device Options

    F10 BIOS Setup

    F11 recovery system

    You are the very welcome.

    A way of knowing whether worked or not, usb recovery flash drive support and is to make an another bootable usb flash drive to test whether or not it is the laptop.

    The fact that you could not start the flash from another PC drive leads me to believe that the creation of recovery has failed.

    Here is the link to the instructions and tools you need to make a bootable flash drive general.

    The two files that you need are at the bottom of the page.  The bootme.zip file is just the BACK files that you extract, copy and paste once the other file actually formats the flash drive to make it bootable.  In this way, it is a speedy BACK and from there you can just go out.

    I use this tool to update the firmware on HP Business Desktop PC processor.

  • Acer Aspire e 15 is unable to boot from the CD

    I bought an Acer Aspire E 15 yesterday and am relatively satisfied so far.  However, I have one caveat.  While I don't mind Windows, I prefer to use a Linux OS.  I burned a Ubuntu ISO on a DVD and rebooted the system.  Windows 10 has begun.  I rebooted, went into the BIOS and change the boot order so that the DVD player should be started everything first.  No power-, always loaded Windows.  I changed the boot for a legacy one sequence, and then nothing would start at all when you restart.  So I just had to go back and change back to where it was.

    I want to try it on a flash drive, but can't find it at the moment.  I think that if I could not start the DVD, it probably wouldn't start a Flash either, but will try anyway.  Upgrading the BIOS would make a difference?  I know that it is not recommended, but for me, not being able to boot from a CD to install the OS I use is a pretty big problem for me.  I googled and lift you on several Linux forums who have not been supportive.  You guys can understand a fix?  Thank you.

    If you try the way that the flash player, please use Rufus to create a flashdrive bootable with Ubuntu .iso
