Boot from CD-Rom option no longer available when I press F9 on the Startup Menu

After bringing up the options menu after pressing the Esc Key, when I press F9 there is no longer an option to boot from the CD-ROM showing in the list.
Also when I use the System Recovery option and select the option to Boot the Laptop using the Internal CD-ROM, after the Laptop has restarted a message appears basically saying the selected boot option is not available and I have no idea what the problem is.

Hi @John-Davis ,
I saw your post regarding the option to boot from CD no longer being an option in your BIOS. I will be happy to help. Let's start with testing the DVD/CD ROM or optical drive. This HP document Testing for Hardware Failures will show you how to access the UEFI tools that come as part of your initial setup. Under Components Tests there will be a one for the Optical Drive. Run that to see if the optical drive has failed.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.
Click the “Kudos Thumbs Up" on the right to say “Thanks” for helping!
Thank you,

  • How to boot from CD-Rom on 520CDT with no OS on hard drive

    Hi
    I formatted the drive on this Tecra 520CDT laptop (old I know but I have a use for it), only to discover that it does not seem to want to boot from the CD-Rom drive. I no longer have the interchangeable floppy drive. Any suggestions as to how I could force it to boot from CD-Rom (I have changed boot order in Bios) Windows disks or something else?
    Until I can do so, I cannot reinstall an OS.
    Alternatively, will any old external floppy drive work, and if so which port? will it boot from parallel port?
    Thanks
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    on these "Oldies" you have to create a boot floppy disk with the CD Driver.
    Then you must connect the CD and Floppy Drives, have to boot this Floppy disk and C: prompt will be available!
    Then when the CD ROM driver was loaded you can start the CD.
    It can be that you need the original Toshiba Drives!
    Bye TOK

  • Can't get my Imac to boot from CD rom

    Sorry for posting the same thread. I made a mistake on the last threads title but I marked the last one as answered. Anyways,I'am trying to use the Mac install CD version of disk utility to repair parts of the disk that can't be repaired by the one on the operating system. I tried holding option key. Whenever I click CD rom, it still boots from the hard drive. I also tried using system preferences to boot boot from CD rom, holding c at startup, and holding cmd option shift delete at startup and it still boots from the hard drive. Why is the computer doing this?

    Selected the clone from Preferences > Startup, did a reboot and it still appears that the booting is from the internal HD. I mean it appears like  90% of the booting sound comes from the internal HD, there is only a bit of light flicker (LED) at the beginning and the end of the booting process on the external HD. The clone is named 'clone'.
    I did booting from an external HD on my old G5 imac a good few times, it took a while longer and I coud hear and see the booting (LED) from external HD, so I have kind of a 'feeling' how it should be like.
    The external HD starts up no problem. It appears on the desktop, I can select it under Preferences > Startup and it shows up during startup using option-key.
    Having done the booting, selecting the external HD, I can dismount it and still can open programms and documents, so it ought to be the internal HD ?

  • Satellite M45: Cannot boot from CD-ROM or HDD

    I'm getting the following messages...
    WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table"
    WHEN BOOTING FROM CD-ROM: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM"
    Consequently, even though I have the recovery CDs the computer cannot read them.
    I tried changing boot order to no avail. Created a Bart's bootable CD which works in my other computer but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers I need for this CD-ROM?
    I am at wits end on this one.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think your partition on the HDD is corrupt and therefore you cannot boot from the HDD.
    In such cases the HDD should be completely formatted and then you could try to install the OS.
    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the bootable CD (WinXP???) and therefore its not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, its really stupid situation :_| really stupid!
    However, did you try booting from other CD? For example original Microsoft Windows CD?
    If not I would recommend to do it and possibly the drive will be able to read the other CD.
    If not so I think the drive must be checked. Possibly its also corrupt.

  • HP 2000 cannot boot from cd rom

    I have made a DVD boot disc, but cannot get my HP 2000 to boot from CD ROM.  I altered the bios setup to enable boot from CD ROM and I made CD/DVD the first boot option.  I also have tried F9 to enter the boot options menu.  I do not see an option to boot from CD ROM.  How can I get my HP 2000 to boot from CD/DVD?
    I am messing around with the TAILS operating system.  My ultimate goal is to boot TAILS from the DVD drive.  I also have tried booting tails from USB, but after reading a while on this issue I have read that some HP machines do not support booting from USB.

    I need to resurrect this thread.  Still cannot boot from the CD drive.  I have verified my boot disc, so the problem is with the laptop.  Same setup as I noted above regarding bios and OS.  
    Laptop is HP 2000-2d60DX
    Bios is INSYDE F.45, 2/10/2014
    My basic problem is still that when I enter the boot options menu, boot from CD/DVD is not an option. 
    While researching I did come across this post,  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Recovery/How-to-boot-from-USB-with-the-new-uefi-bios/td-p/2552... It states that legacy boot needs to be enabled.  However, when begining to enable Legacy Boot I receive the warning that the laptop will not be able to boot the OS (Windows 8.1), so I cancel changes.  I would prefer not to have to enable/disable legacy boot everytime I try to switch between Windows and TAILs.
    At this point, it would help to confirm that I have the needed version of the Bios (guess I should call it UEFI).  Also, clarify if enabling Legacy Boot is needed.
    Thanks.

  • My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

    I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
    Thank you in advance for any advice!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
    You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.

    2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
    As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
    We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
    - A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
    - Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
    - ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
    - In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
    I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
    Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

    Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

    Hi Sharada ,
    I had the same error message.
    To resolve the problem I had to bind the context again to the interface controller of the used component.

  • Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation it gives me an input/output error and stops. Any tips?

    Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation and after having selected both my destination and source drives, the operation begins but soon fails due to input/output error. If I try to create an image of the drive it gives me the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Disk Utility only creates a image of the drive, so it's no help getting exactly what you want, which is your files. If the file structure is messed up or the drive is failing then it's no help.
    If you have a external boot drive and you can't access the internal non-booting drive though the typical Finder and windows to transfer your files via drag and drop methods, then you need to install Data Rescue on the external boot drive and it will do as best as it can to recover your files. (works on non-encrypted/non-Filevaulted drives only)
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Are you sure you have hard drive failure, or that OS X isn't merely not booting?
    Because if the drive is working physically, then there is a host of fixes

    The item may have been removed either permanently or temporarily between now and when you last downloaded it. There may be an problem with the App Store or your connection to it.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

    Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard? 

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.
