XM559AV: set disk boot order

HPE 490

Windows 7 SP1 x 64

I make sure I start from a specific disk, but I want to have others activated for boot disks

failure of this record preferred.   I can't figure out how to do what I want.  The devil is in the details.

Details:

I added some time ago, an SSD that starts and runs windows faster than any HDD.

However, SSDS have their own problems of failure and it would be useful to have the internal drives

able to boot also.    It is doable - but what happens then, so they are always preferred.

This is not desirable.

Internal drives are on ports SATA 1 & 2.

The DVD is on port 3.

The SSD is on port 4.

The SSD to port 1 of switching seems to disable the USB 3.0 PCI card, because what either on USB 3.0

ports, then disappears.  It's weird, but repeatable and not desirable at all.

Displacement of the internal drives to port 4 is not important - the system always starts from the inside

the SSD and the disks will be installed later.

Messing with the BIOS doesn't seem to help.  It is on the side of the old (last update available in 2010?).

BIOS does not appear supported for booting with USB - but the system boot from a USB device if it is installed-

If nothing is set which is preferred.

It does not seem possible to order disks or SATA ports to begin the purposes.

It is possible to turn on/off disks SATA in the BIOS, but disable turns off completely: they appear at all.

What do I want?  I want the favorite SSD.  I want a Windows installed on internal SATA HDDs if possible.

but not preferred - 2nd choice after the SSD.  Otherwise, an external drive bootable USB 3.0 would be useful, if

It is an option that people recommend (I have not tried to build a yet).

All advice appreciated.

In general, there are two options different 'command' you can set.

It determines the sequence of boot devices - such that you can order one of the readers of diskettes, hard disks, USB drives, etc..

The other determines the sequence of selection of hard drives - such that you can order your boot drive favorite to the front of the list.

There is no way to have the charger to jump on a hard drive that is different than the one on the front of the list, if that one contains initialization information.

However, if you install GRUB 2 (from a Linux disk), and since you have boot info on each of several different hard disks, then you can manually add a 'stanza' for each device and select the one you want during startup.

Since it is essentially a function of Linux, you'd better check on a Linux forum on how to do it. I recommend the Ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/

Good luck

    Hi Kim,
     
    -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
     
    If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
    • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
    • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
    • You don't have any boot device
    • You have installed a new hard drive
    • The hard drive is not properly connected
    • Your system files have been infected

    Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

  • Disk Boot Failure on Pavilion a1720n

    My computer froze and crashed, then went to a black screen saying Disk Boot failure Insert System Disk. When I go to start my computer it goes either directly on the screen or it starts and runs fine for about 10 minutes and goes back to a black screen, repeat the disk boot failure.

    It is usually a very strong indication that your hard drive is dying. I hope you did the recovery disk set that will be required to reinstall your Windows and your software to a new hard drive.

    One thing you might try is first to enter the BIOS to turn on by pressing the F10 key. Once in the BIOS, press F5 to reset the default settings then F10 to save and exit.

    Hi karl1966,

    Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?

    Maybe your drive is noisy and you should try another. I put t disc you used but try with Toshiba and Microsoft Windows disk recovery disk.

  • Satellite R630-141 - cannot change the boot order

    I have a Toshiba R630-141 and I'm changing the boot order in the Bios, but the Bios does not allow me to choose my cd drive or a USB drive as the startup disk.

    I've updated the Bios today to the latest version, thinking that I need the latest version but still the Bios allows me to change the order.

    The problem is the screen flashes only when I'm in the form of change of boot order. When I select the upper and down arrows to select an option in the box just blinks and does not allow me to select any option.

    I tried the tab key, the number keys basically all of the keys that I on the keyboard, and still, I can't select usb or cd drive so I have to quit and restart.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi scarpentier,

    You can change the boot order in the BIOS and booting from another boot device? Go into the BIOS and change the boot order. Enter a startup disk (e. g. Toshiba recovery disc), save & exit the BIOS Setup. The computer will restart and should boot from the CD.

    Check this box!

    Tecra M5 cannot enter the BIOS to change the setting too boot from cd first

    I bought on ebay and the seller sold me a dubious version of xp so I want to format and install my own at the start he said:

    The Intel Boot Agent GE v1.2.31 initialization
    KE - E05: the LAN adapter's configuration is corrupted or has not been initialized. Boot agent cannot continue

    Hello

    The message looks like you tried to boot and install Windows LAN

    If you want to change the boot order, I recommend pressing the F12 key, immediately after that the laptop was turned on!

    A new start menu should appear, then you can choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD) and a boot device.

    Also by pressing the C button should allow you to boot from the CD inserted, bootable.

  • Re: Satellite A210-10 has, crashes when you change the boot order

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my computer Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32-bit, clocked at 1.8 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, AMD Turion 64 x 2
    There is only a single disk partitioned into two drives of 75 GB (C and E).

    The problem is that whenever I enter the start menu (for boot from CD), or if I change in the BIOS boot order and restart, the computer hangs (power cut off suddenly).
    So the only way to recover, is to connect the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 minutes and repeat. Then, everything lights up normally or launches of Windows system recovery, after what he will restart and work very well.

    It would be important to know that I partitioned the drive to have 30 GB for installing Win7 later. The problem is that I've never tried to change the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know if it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.

    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    It seems that the issue related to the Bios. Have you tried to put update or reflash?

    Maybe this has happened before, but you don't check.

  • Pavilion dv7-3112: arrows does not work cannot change boot order

    Hi all

    Ive just bought a 2nd pavilion laptop in hand I can't reformat. My problem is the arrow keys of the keyboard, to the top to the bottom and right don't work only the arrow to the left. Someone else changed the boot order so I can't return it back to boot from the cd rom without arrows. As I am here in Australia I don't have access to the new keyboards. Can give you any advice. thnx in advance.

    Hello

    One option would be to temporarily connect a keyboard external usb.

    In addition, if you are trying to boot from an installation disc, I could do this via the Boot Manager menu, rather than set the boot priority in the bios menu because it is often ignored - you can do the following.

    Insert the installation disc and the laptop shutdown .

    Click next to the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to enter the Boot Menu, and then select the Boot Options Menu ( f9 ).

    Use the arrow keys to select the option of CDROM and press ENTER - if you are prompted to "Press any key to continue...". "- make.

    Kind regards

  • HP Envy 17-3000 (3D) - replace internal 80 GB SSD? (or change the boot order?)

    My Envy 17 - 3xxx (3D) has a 80 GB SSD as boot/OS drive and a 1 TB HARD drive as secondary.  I would replace the 80 GB SSD with a 500 GB new and faster SSD.  I cloned the SSD existing to the new device, all good.

    However, I * physically cant just find the (existing) primary SSD drive *.  I took the back cover off, the two additional drive bays are here, I looked under the battery, CDROM, etc.  Clues?  I hope that if I just share, I'll be set.

    Otherwise, I could leave the existing 80 GB SSD in there * if I could figure out how to set the boot devices order *.  Currently, the BIOS allows me to internal versus external rather than network vs CDROM as classes start command, but not the individual devices.  Clues?

    Thank you!!!

    If you get the 3.0 mSATA adapter usb like this:

    wost case you can use the mSATA as a very fast player. That's what I found myself doing with my WSSD, after I bought a 500 GB SSD for laptop. I could just NTO find any other product uses for it.

    If please do after back and let us know how it works because it's still a bit of a dunkelfeld for HP laptops.

  • HP envy m6-K015dx: how to remove/reset password BIOS of HP envy m6-K015dx in order to change the boot order

    I'm trying to install a new copy of windows 10 but currently it does not show an option to boot from usb. There are only two options i.e. BONE Boot Manager, BOOT from the file of EFI. I need to go into BIOS to change the boot order, but it asks for administrator password.

    I don't remember set the BIOS password on my laptop, and yet I've tried some of the passwords mentioned on the forums but none of them worked. I can't remove CMOS battery, which is part of the solution, because it requires for me to disassemble the laptop.

    Please suggest me any solution that I have not been able to understand all other sources.

  • In new style bios boot order

    I have a new laptop Win 8 HP4540s that totally confuses me when I try to create a boot order that will allow (in order) optical drive DVD, USB drive, on Board HDD.

    First of all, I did a lot of changes to BIOS, I can't think of a return to the default settings would be a desirable course point - please help.

    Then, perhaps offer advice how to achieve my goals.

    At present, the cell F9 boot order is:

    OS boot manager

    Laptop Ethernet IPV4

    Laptop Ethernet IPv6

    Boot to the EFI file

    Left alone, the system starts the Win8 operating system

    Why boot from DVD or USB memory stick, we use the Acronis boot disk (or USB drive to memory to create a full image of HARD drive for security purposes.)

    I wish I had a technical paper on the BIOS settings

    Hello

    There is not a perfect solution yet but I'm hoping that HP creates one for your situation.

  • Ignored boot order...

    Boot order of my M/C has 3 entries in the following order: DVD, HD1, HD2.  All are recognized by the Device Manager.  However, at the start of HD1 is ignored and the machine starts with the HD2 as drive "C"!  How can I get to recognize HD1?  This surface of problem after recovering from a fall.

    Your boot order is not ignored.  Probably, HD1 is checked first and the system is unable to recognize it as a bootable device (probably due to damage in the boot as a result of your accident sector).  It then goes to the next device where a boot device and start it from there.

    Your best bet at a fast food (assuming that the HD1 is recognized as a drive after the boot for HD2) is to perform a check disk on HD1 operation using the 'repair' or ' / R ' option

    "How to perform the disk error checking in Windows XP"

    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315265 >

    but depending on how damaged HD1 is, it may or may not be able to recover.

    In any case, it is a good time to save your data.  In the end, it is possible that you will have to perhaps reformat the drive and reinstall Windows on it.
