Vista boot priority

I have Windows vista basic and I can not change the bios boot priority, affecting during startup. My hard drive is now in third place. First priority is CD-ROM, is second diskette and is third hard disk. It took time for him to start, and I think that it is the cause. Please tell me how to change the boot priority. Thank you.

Hi thunder02,

This link gives a good guide illustrated the boot priority: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

There may be a slight variation in the screenshots according to the manufacturer of your BIOS, but basically, the procedure is much the same for all BIOS manufacturers.

  • Qosmio F30 starts with blue stripes during Vista boot screen

    My Qosmio F30-114 runs for years without problem with Vista Ultimate.

    In recent days, there is a huge problem.

    The Qosmio starts with blue stripes during vista boot screen.

    So I deleted the driver for the graphics card and used the standard vga driver for the card. the wizard of material found one driver on the system.
    For a brief moment, I was very lucky.

    After a reboot, there was a blue screen. After the next restard again once the driver to the standard vga card.

    What can I do?

    The download section of toshiba has no drivers for graphics card.
    And really... I wonder - how it works every year without problems...

    Someone at - it a solution?

    thanx

    toshibalover ;-)

    Hello!

    First you have this problem on an external monitor too or only on the screen internal? Maybe it s is not a graphics card problem so check it with an external monitor.

    I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I can find drivers for the Qosmio F30:

  • Qosmio G35-AV650: how remove Vista Boot Manager and install XP

    OK, I got the g35-av650 - US. I don't see any good American forum Toshiba, so I post here.
    First of all, I must say I'm getting very frustrated.

    1: I upgraded my BIOS to try to install windows vista. Vista installed, however, it works well. It must be driver problems. I deleted the partition that I allocated for Vista. Now, how the hell do I remove the screen/start menu in vista.
    I want to get back my XP operating system selection screen.
    I think it has to do with the boot record.

    2: my bluetooth isn't all work more (don't ask me why...) After that I updated the BIOS to version 1.40 to the newest 3.30.

    The recovery CD said I use the CD in the computer wrong? Is it possible to downgrade the BIOS/solve this problem, or bypass it.

    Thanks for the responses, because they will be very appreciated.

    Hello

    (1.) you want to reinstall XP on the HARD drive or you want to cancel only the vista Boot Manager.
    Usually after reinstalling XP, the boot manager should disappear.

    But I found these tips step by step in the internet:

    -Start your computer in Windows XP.
    -Make sure you have the image of Vista DVD emulated or in the DVD drive.
    -Go to start and run. Type in e:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt52 ALL/force (without the quotation marks and replace e: with the letter of your Vista DVD).
    -Restart the computer, and you notice that the selection of start menu disappeared.
    -Format the partition/drive where you installed Vista.
    -Remove the two (Boot.BAK and Bootsect.BAK) files on your file of root of drives XP (c), it was backup of your previous boot loader files, now is more useful.
    -Optional: Restart to make sure it still works.
    -Use your partition software to merge your partitions.

    2.), I hope that you have used the BIOS from the page we Toshiba. However, the BIOS update should not has a bad influence on the functionality of BT. Try to download the latest driver for BT and install again.

  • Satellite A10 - boot priority must be changed

    Hello world

    I have an old Satellite A10 here, and I'm supposed to put a new operating system on it.
    Problem: He doesn't let me boot from the CD/DVD!
    In the BIOS (APCI BIOS version = 1.30), I can not change the boot priority, which is I can not put the DVD drive as the first boot device.
    By pressing F12 or 'C' when you turn on the laptop don't boot options not present either.

    In another thread, I read that you can change the boot device by selecting devices to boot images that can be seen under the TOSHIBA sign during the power supply of the laptop is just turned on. How do you do that? The TAB and arrow keys do not work for me...

    There in the windows, the utility TOSHIBA HWSetup startmenu which is password protected. In the manual it says that you can change the priority of priming (from inside of windows!), but unfortunately the owner does not remember any password it have probably set, so I can't change the boot sequence for there either.
    but in any case it must be possible to boot from the CD without access to windows, where windows no longer works...

    Is there yet another possibility to use a "connector wrapping parallel haven" seeing that I don't know how its done or used?

    Who has ideas?

  • Blue screen on vista boot even safemode

    Only change I made last week is to install roxio.  I had started after that.  Also have had the problem since the week last on my url automatically redirected to other sites.  So think, it may be a virus/spyware.

    How to debug the blue screen?  It is not even stay long enough for me to this Reed continues.  I think the code is like 0 x 0000005.   This happens after the vista boot screen gets up and I select vista boot - load all the drivers etc. then shows a black screen, and then a quick blue screen then reboots.

    I am able to get connected via the CD of vista - but not to create the administrator account for me to use the recovery.  But I can access the prompt - ran the check disk, memory check etc - all the utensils that difficult is fine (no new material not added)

    I also chose start with logging and log file ntbt*.txt doesn't seem to have problems.  Even safe mode is a failure.

    Can any help on how I debug?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The code confirms everything you have already said - 7th with the parameter 005.

    That your drivers to work has little to do with the question of whether if they work now. They could have
    become corrupted, an update might make them unstable, other causes may force in
    Unstable States (for example, some games on some hardware) and a host of other issues.

    Try the Recovery Console if you have one and a Vista disk, if not to run the system restore back to a point
    before that happens.

    Another tip on a PC is trying to replace the video card for a good market in the hope that the video driver is the
    issue. This can be done with video embedded by turning off the edge in the settings (BIOS/CMOS) if
    some require additional methods. And of course there does not guarantee that the video driver is the question.

    I hope this helps.

    Vista boot failure:
    When you start there 3 beeps (long, short), and nothing, the screen remains black, empty.  With Windows Vista Ultimate install the disk in the DVD player, nothing else.

    Hello

    "beep" codes normally indicate a hardware problem / failure.

    Read this on the 'beep' error codes:

    http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/nonworkingcomponent/HT/beepcodestb.htm

    Check out the Bios in your computer starting information online from the manufacturer of your computer and use the links that I you provided with to see what mean "beeps".

    If you are unable to determine the hardware problem yourself, contact the manufacturer of the computer, if under warranty.

    If it is not under warranty, find a good repair shop premises to take.

    See you soon.

    original title: VISTA Boot Up problem

    I have an emachine with Vista for over 2 years with no problems, but recently, when I turn on the PC I get a black screen that says: "Boot From CD-ROM AHCI.  NVIDIA Boot Agent 249.0542.  Client MAC ADDR: 00 1 D 72 A9 D7 B6 GUIDE FFFFFF... "In order to get past this screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-Del and it will then start VISTA.  The last 3 days, the Ctrl-Alt-Delete method failed the first time and I had to repeat up to 3 times.  Now I wonder how long the Ctrl-Alt-Del bypass method will last.  What can I do to get the pc to boot normally again?

    start in safe mode.

    Choose Repair computer

    Or the last known good configuration.

    If windows loads in safe mode then uninstall any recently installed.

    Maybe do a system restore to an earlier date.

  • Remove vista boot screen

    Hello

    I'm planning a check disk to run at reboot, but I couldn't see the activity and results of the operation of check disk because of the vista boot screen.  I never noticed this problem before.  However, I wonder if anyone knows how to disable.

    I thought about the gui option not via the msconfig Panel. But if I remember that this simply deletes completely out the screen during the boot process.

    Thank you.

    Answer: Disable "no GUI" in the Panel under the msconfig Startup tab.

    Apparently, in the activation of vista "no GUI" allows the vista aurora boot / splash screen, thus hiding the start menu, check it out operations on disk and memory diagnostics.

    Under xp, which allows 'no GUI' blacked out on the screen and hidden from the above process.  But in Vista, rather than be a screen blacked out, vista boot screen is engaged.

    As my question, in some sort 'no GUI' was enabled without my knowledge.  So I could not see the background process during startup.
