• Impossible Bootable Ext HD Boot - Option key

  Running OS 10.11.4 on my Mac Pro - I use the Mac as being the owner of the administrator account

  I have a HD Ext bootable as a back-up.

  When the computer reboots, while holding down the OPTION key pressed (after the chime) I do not receive the screen with the option to select the startup disk but am taken immediately to my regular desktop after starting on my internal HD.

  If I go to system prefs-> boot drive, I am able to select the Ext HD but only after you click the lock and enter my password.

  Suspecting that this stop lock the normal process, I left it unlocked when I tried to reboot now down option

  But it did not work and on control Sys Pref - > startup disk, the lock had been closed during the restart process.

  Under Sys Pref - security & privacy-> general, none of the boxes have been checked except for Apps from anywhere

  Is there a setting I can change which will result in the screen of the Option Start Up disc appearing during reboot holding down the Option key?

  Thanks for the tips!

  Figured it out!

  When the startup disk window appeared, nor try to reset NVRAM by pressing the OPTION-COMMAND-P-R worked, I decided to check the keyboard.

  There was a post a couple of years indicating a defective as keyboard being the cause.

  Of course, everything worked as it should with a Bluetooth KB (instead of the original thin aluminum KB provided with the Mac Pro 4.1 in 2009)

  But the Option button on aluminum KB worked in all other situations (for example typing)

  Problem solved by plugging the keyboard directly into the MacPro rather than in a USB Hub powered Dynex DX-7P2H - which worked very well for many years. !

  Sorry to have bothered you - feel sorta stupid that I have did not check on the 1st obvious!

  Is there only a reliable powered USB Hub there?

  Thank you!

• When I restart and press F8 on my dell Inspiron will in the Advanced Boot Options. I support then to fix my computer, but instead of reloading Windows Vista my computer turn on normally.

  problem reinstalling windows Vista operating system.

  I'm trying to reinstall the windows Vista operating system.  When I restart and press F8 on my dell Inspiron will in the Advanced Boot Options.  I support then to fix my computer, but instead of reloading Windows Vista my computer turn on normally.  How can I solve this problem.  Thanks in advance for your support.  Valerie SG

  Why you want to reinstall your PC? It could be that you don't need to reinstall Windows, and solutions you could solve, which is recommended.

  However, if you want to reinstall your Windows, it's NOT F8, F8 key belongs to Windows and he'll fix the problems. To reinstall Windows, you must use differently for Dell steps:

  And for more details, you could visit the Dell Web site and search for your model and find the method to do this, or contact technical support:

  It is possible that you clicked the 'Block Images' item in the context menu by attempting to save an image.
  Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > content: Load Images: Exceptions - see the web content, pop-ups, fonts and language settings

  A way to see what images are blocked is to click on the favicon (Site ID icon) on the left side of the address bar.
  Click on the "More information" button opens the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "tools > Page Info").
  Go to the tab Media of this "Page Info" window.
  Select the first image and scroll though the list with the arrow pointing downwards.
  If an image in the list is grayed out and there is a check mark in the box "block Images of..." and remove this mark to unlock the images from this area.

• I get no option restore when I hold down the cmd key

  I have a mac mini with a 2.53 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 500 GB two HD (a server) end of 2009. I bought the mac mini 2nd hand and restored with a copy of my mac book pro 2010 running El Capitan. I restored it by pressing the command and r after that restart and select the external hard drive with time machine copy of my macbook pro.

  I noticed that the mac mini is extremely slow compared to my macbook pro, which has similar features.  I also noticed that there is no network preferences panel and there are other subwindows preferences (icloud, internet accounts and startup disk) that does not open.

  For these reasons, I tried to restore the mini with copy cloned my MacBook when it was running Yosemite, but when I restart and hold down command & r, I don't get food options and it goes directly to the login screen. I tried with the time machine, a cloned HD backup but I don't get any restore option for either.

  When I try to open the startup disk, which does not either. I seem to be stuck now with a very slow machine and no option to restore to factory settings or my older OS of Yosemite.

  My apologies for the long post, but I am confused as to how to proceed and would appreciate any help.

  Erase the hard drive then install Snow Leopard from the DVD retail. The update 10.6.8 download installer of El Capitan of the App Store, click the install button after the download is complete and the installation program is started on your computer.

• Will not start unless I have use EDIT (F10) BOOT OPTIONS to the start screen

  n order to get my laptop running I have to press F10 at startup, which brings me to a screen that says:

  CHANGE STARTUP OPTIONS
  Edit windows boot options for: windows 7
  path: \windows\system32\winload.exe
  score: 3

  To start, I need to erase the text:
  "/ NOEXECUTE = /MININT OPTION.

  After that, I can start.

  My problem with the trunk is the C:\Windows\system32\drivers\Classpnp.sys file. I know because I tried safe mode, but it hung to this file.
  I also tried system restore and Startup Repair with no luck.
  I tried to use cmd to rename the file in Classpnp.old, but he said he could not find the specified file, when this is clearly where I can see it when I go to the folder (once I start with the hack at the above address startup options)
  I checked in the environmental settings, but the problem isn't here. I also tried sfc/scannow in cmd, but the test came back without error.

  Help, please!

• I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked,

  I had to perform a clean install of Win7 Ultimate on Win7Pro, which recorded data may in a window.old directory.   When I installed Win 7 Ultimate, it would install with Win 7 Pro installed, so I've had to do a clean install which has formatted the hard drive.

  I tried to activate Win 7 Ultimate with the product key, but I get a message that says that the product key is blocked and I cannot activate my installation of Win 7 Ultimate.  What are the options?
  One of the solutions is to re - install the original program, Win 7 Pro and then re install Win 7 Ultimate.
  It seems like a repeat of the whole process that I just finished.

• Trouble entering the Configuration Page of the BIOS to start the virtual machine by key pressing (F2).

  To start the virtual machine guest OS (Win XP), I want to enter BIOS, by key configuration page by pressing "F2", to change the order of boot options.

  But the initial startup if page flashes quickly, so that I don't get time to press 'F2', most of the time.

  The problem is exasperated because my press F2 is not taken initially without first mouse clicking, somehere in the start page.

  So the order of actions is

  b click the mouse on the settings window, so as he prepares to receive the keystrokes.

  (b) and press 'F2 '.

  Before these two actions are completed, pages flashes by so quickly.

  Anyone can suggest a quick and easy solution for this?

  concerning

  Note: don't know if it is the appropriate forum category.

  + I also not my button "Start a new Discussion" in the General category page? +

  Hello.

  You can manually edit the. VMX file to the virtual machine and add the following line:

  bios.bootDelay = "5000".

  for a period of 5 seconds.

  Good luck!

  Do not follow exactly...

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If your system uses to work properly, what do you think might have happened to her since the last time, that it did not work properly?

  If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

  Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

  The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

  If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt

  Enable Boot logging
  Enable VGA mode
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
  Debug mode
  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

  Start Windows normally
  Reset
  Return to OS Choices Menu

  You need to choose in this menu is the option:

  Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
  
  Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

  If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

  You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

  If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

  Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.

• BIOS lack internal hard drive boot option

  I had problems with my computer gives me an error message 'Operating system not found' on initialize toward the top.  I knew that my hard drive was almost at full capacity, so I decided to install a new hard drive with more capacity, a Seagate Momentus 500 GB.  From what I read he appeared as my computer to recognize the new hard drive automatically, but it does not only and does not initialize.  When I go to boot options in the BIOS Phoenix, he mentions only: F10 and F12 Delay (s) [0], CD-ROM Boot [Enabled], boot floppies [Enabled] and starting adapter [Disabled] internal network.  However, the boot order lists: portable hard drive USB floppy, ATAPI CD/DVD ROM, USB disk on key, USB hard disk drive, and! Network adapter.  Would it be the BIOS Boot Option which is at the origin of the new hard drive is not being recognized?  I can't find where in the BIOS I can add this option in, or so that it can detect the new hard drive.

  When I put my Vista recovery disc in, it will load, but when I select Yes for "reset your system to factory settings" and it starts to reformat the hard drive Windows partition, it returns immediately with error '0x400110020000100A '.

  Anyone can shed some light on this problem?  Any help is appreciated!
