Boot To OS2 Bios Setting ???

I am curious to know what the setting Boot to OS2 does in the Bios settings? I have two HD fitted to my compuer; my old XP HD and my newer Win7 HD and I have the option of connecting one or the other. Can this OS2 setting make it possible to configure the bios to select one or the other by means of a welcome screen like a dual boot disk or must I still do everything manually?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Kind Regards
Chris

PDF manual might have more info than your paper manual.

This is not in your manual?
"Boot To OS/2
This allows you to run the OS/2® operating system with DRAM larger than
64MB. When you choose No, you cannot run the OS/2® operating system
with DRAM larger than 64MB. But it is possible if you choose Yes."

G41 Fails to boot after updating BIOS

I hope that somebody has some suggestions, and thank you in advance.
I am helping out a friend who has inherited a 2881-22U. I have managed to successfully upgrade to an 120GB HD and copy the Recovery partition to the drive. (Hey, you use what you can in education). I have gone through the reinstall process successfully several times, and have worked for two weeks with several test WinXP loads so I know that the system works properly.
In checking the support website, of course, I noticed that there was a BIOS update (1XET57WW) and so I did the 1xuj15us.exe non-diskette update. It successfully completed and then rebooted automatically. Windows then failed to load - it hangs during the load process. With trying to boot in Safe Mode & with logging, it would appear that the system hangs after loading drivers\mup.sys (normal configuration) or drivers\agpcpq.sys (safe mode).
If I press the Access IBM button, the recovery partition (IBM Rescue and Recovery) software runs OK, and when if I select "Restore factory contents", it properly completes the format & copy, reboots, does the first automated batch file sequence, reboots and then hangs (at the same place as described above, never getting to SysPrep).
If I put the original 30GB drive back in, it also fails loading Windows XP at the same spot, now that the BIOS has changed.
The system was previously upgraded to 1GB years ago. The system was purchased in January 2005. The hardware diagnostics pass OK.
Thoughts on what's wrong and possible remedies:
Is there some BIOS setting that got changed that I am not understanding?
Is the BIOS update somehow bad (even though the recovery partition software runs OK)?
Was the recovery partition image upgraded as well when the BIOS was updated? If so, what is the specific part number to get the revised image?
Is there some way I can get a BIOS image rollback to an older version?
Thanks for any responses.
Solved!

Solved the problem:
Got the 1xuj15ud.exe diskette BIOS update and got it transferred to a USB flash drive (kind of hard to use a diskette when the system does not have a floppy drive).
Did the update. Reset the BIOS settings again. Voilà, Windows starts loading again.
Why I needed to reflash again, I dunno... Didn't have any sort of error message after the first flash. Certainly wasn't resetting the BIOS settings to default - already did that the first time around.

Find this BIOS Setting

"Pre-Desktop Authentication"
Someone in another forum said he was able to get Clonezilla to work once once he disabled this setting in his Lenovo M57e. Here is his original post:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/clonezilla/forums/forum/799287/topic/3344366
I realize his M57e is a ThinkCentre. Does anyone know the equivalent BIOS setting for a ThinkStation D10?

under #5 (set passwords) you can remove the power-on password. you'll have to enter the old password, then a blank password twice by pressing 'enter'.
if all else fails you can clear the CMOS using the jumper at the bottom of the motherboard. move the jumper to the left, reboot, wait for the beeps, shut down, move it back, and boot as normal. this will clear all settings and passwords in the BIOS, returning it to factory state.

H8-1414 does not boot due to bios update problem

Hi, I did a BIOS update on my desktop last night , now it does not boot up and the motherboard send 8 long beeps with no video output. It seems that 8 beeps correspond to motherboard BIOS problem I was pressing ESC and F10 keys to enter Bios settings but no luck...always 8 beeps and no video. Need to access BIOS setting on the screen or do BIOS reset but don't know how to do it on this case. Any help ?...Thanks!

Hi buddy,
You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.

KT4-V (6712) and 2700+ bios setting problem?

Hi all,
Here is my problem, upgraded to kt4-V (6712) all is working except my processor speed. I have a Athlon 2700+ and in the bios set up I have gone to change the setting so that the right speed etc is read. The highest FSB I can go is 133Mhz and the cpu ratio on auto. Set the system higher and it will not boot up. MSI say to set those setting to 166 FSB and 13x cpu ratio. Result being the same. I have updated the Bios from V1.5 to V1.7 and set the SDRAM to 333MHz with the result being the same. Have I missed something somewhere. On bootup at the moment it's saying I have 2100+ so I now it's not running on full steam. Have not installed OS yet as I am trying to get the bios set up first!
Any ideas.
thanks

Top man Bas,
have set bios to default, and changed the FSB to 166, removed all but one memory (512Mb) and It works. Thanks for that, it was doing my head in abit. Silly question but did it lock up because of too much memory installed before the OS is installed?

Bios set up utility

I need to get to the BIOS set-up utility. All key punches (escape, ctrl+alt+... etc) I've tried do not take me there. Running windows 8 on HP p7-1410pc.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I moved the cmos jumper(s) then booted up and windows came on without having to provide the power-up password (which I do not have). The descpription of how to do this on the HP support site for my Joshua motherboard does not match what I have. Also, it said to move the jumper for a few seconds and then put it back. I tried that and it did not work. So... by moving both jumpers 1 pin each it appears my problem is solved.

Satellite 1800-554 Notebook BIOS set up access

Many thanks for NickyNoogle for your reply, however I just can not find a way to open BIOS set up! The only pre windows start up option is F8 for advanced start up options which takes me to a list of boot up options such as safe mode etc. Do you have any further ideas to help my? My e mail address is [email protected] should you wish to contact me direct. Best regards, Kevin

Hi,
as far as I know you have to press Esc on start up and then F1. For some models you have to press F2 while booting.

T61 at boot everytime enters BIOS (unable to skip BIOS)

I have a T61 with Windows 7 64 bits installed,
T61 did work fine for several months untill last week,
but now when booting immediately after the message to enter BIOS press F1 there is a message entering BIOS setup and then BIOS windows appears, by pressing F10 or ESC Windows 7 starts without reporting problems,
apparently there are no errors reported and I am unable to understand why BIOS setup window appears,
I did several attempts to restore BIOS to default values etc. (hoping to avoid the reported problem) without success,
when booting T61 enters everytime the BIOS Windows and I have to press Esc or F10 to continue normal boot,
How can I restore the original behaviour (i.e. booting without entering BIOS windows) ?
Has someone experienced a similar problem and found a solution ?
Thank you for help.

Have you checked the date and time to make sure they're correct?
They will enter bios if the date isn't set or if the cmos battery is bad, but I've never seen a T61 behave like this otherwise.

P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

Hey all,
My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
Here is my setup.
Windows 7 64bit
Bach HTPC case
Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.

I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school. The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent. I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup. When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen. It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
Thanks for any ideas/input

The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
But
It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
And you never answered this question.
Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

How can I boot to USB device if no USB boot option in BIOS

I just purchased a Toshiba NB305-N410BL but am concerned as to how I would image the 250GB HDD if I can not boot from an external cdrom drive. I tried to backup to shared network folder but none show up on list. Only boot options in BIOS are HDD, FDD, and LAN. Thanks for all help in advance.

Hi, buddy-erp.
I don't know if my instructions apply to you because I only have the NB305 model. However, if you say you have followed all instructions, that is, 1) insured that no other USB devices are connected to your computer at bootup time and 2) have pressed F12 to enter the boot menu; 3) and then designated the USB flash drive as the source of the bootable restoration software you may need Toshiba technical support. I wonder if there is a BIOS update for your computer too. This may need to be downloaded and installed prior to beginning the restoration process. Nevertheless, as stated, I have a NB305 model and the instructions are clear. FYI (for your information), a virus infected my system and made certain changes to this process. Toshiba technical support informed me that the information displayed was wrong and the process outlined was unnecessary but did require technical support to restore it to the OEM default options.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Bi-Ill
Good luck!

Cannot install on this disk your disk controller nay not recognise this drive change bios setting?

I've looked high and low every accessible field in the bios and I'm not finding any solution. why cant it access existing partitions or create new ones. I know the hard drive works because I was originally using it as a back up drive

Hi,
Did you perform a clean installation of Windows 7 on this disk? Did you change the sata mode as Tripredacus said?
Please give us more exact prompt message and which phase did you encounter this error?
Please read this article to change your BIOS setting:

Re: Satellite Pro A40 - Can't find boot order in BIOS

Hi, we have a very old Satellite Pro A40 with a new hard drive.
We're tryng to change the boot order in BIOS to recognise the CD drive ready for the windows disk. However, there seems to be no option to change the BIOS boot order and yes we've tried the Toshiba route which suggests pressing C during boot up and F12 to select the drive during boot up, neither of which work.
Please can someone help?
regards
Karl
PS: The current message on the screen during boot up is BOOTMGR is missing

Hi karl1966,
Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized properly in BIOS?
Maybe your disk is scratchy and you should try another one. I dont know which disk you have used but try it with Toshiba recovery disk and Microsoft Windows disk.

C200 M1 - BIOS setting for powering on server after power fail

We've noticed that when removing power to the C200 M1s and then restoring power; the server doesn't automatically start. We've looked for a BIOS setting but can't seem to find it. Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The BIOS from 1.1.1.d on CCO should have the option "Resume on AC Power Loss" under Server Management which will allow you to control the behavior.
Thanks
