Can't get BIOS to boot from a DVD!

I downloaded a Windows 10 64 Bit .iso file and I want to upgrade to it from 32 Bit, but no matter what I set my computer to boot first it always loads Windows and I can't install it from the .iso file because of a error with some older computers. Also
I do have the specs for a 64 Bit OS.

Hi,
As mentioned above, If it does not automatically boot from the DVD, then you need to manually enter bios, then change the device boot order, make your DVD as the first boot device. Please also make sure that the DVD is not corrupted, in other words, pleaes
make sure that it is bootable, as Anthony mentioned, you need to correctly burn the iso to DVD.
And it's unavailable to to upgrade a 32 bit system to a 64 bit system, you need to backup your files and perform a clean installation.

  • Can't get ibook to boot from external harddrive when hitting option key

    Hello,
    After owning a Pismo Powerbook that had it's hardrive replaced --twice--, i'm all about backing my shtuff up for my ibook.
    I picked up a Lacie d2 external harddrive today, and used Disk Utility's Restore function to copy everything from the ibook to the drive. I can boot off the Lacie without a problem when I select it as the startup disk from sys preferences.
    But I can't get it to boot from the Lacie when I depress the Option key while rebooting or starting.
    any suggestions?
    ibook g4 933   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Let's be sure  you are doing it correctly:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.  Select the desired boot drive (you will have to wait about 20 seconds before you can make the selection) then click on the large right arrow button.  If this is what you are doing and it does not work, then you may need to re-prep the external drive and re-clone.
    1.  Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    After the above re-clone as follows:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder. 
    2. Select the startup volume from the left side list. 
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window. 
    4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field. 
    5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Check the box to Erase Destination.  Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button. 

  • Qosmio F60-14K - Can't get it to boot from the SSD

    Hi
    Im trying to install a new SSD disk, but cant, because I cant get it to boot from the SSD, "Insert a system start disk" Works fine as a USB, even installed Windows 7 on it and tried to boot from it but with out any luck.
    All I havent tried are to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that because I dont have that option in BIOS. I think I have tried everything I can test, any tips/help would be much appreciated!!
    And so to the BIOS part a joke to call bios all you can do change clock settings and the bootorder more or less!
    Anywhy to get more options?
    thx
    //Henrik

    I installed it on my desktop cuz I couldnt install win7 when it was in the laptop it said it wasant a start partision, but it didnt help since it didnt boot from it even with the OS installed on the disk.
    Since I cant boot from the ssd it dosent matter what I install on it.
    Yeah aslong as u dont want to change anything the set bios seams ok but not as soon as you want to change anything like in my case.
    something I really really miss is the fan speed control and ofc the acpi and maybe some chipset settings.
    but aslong as I get my SSD to work Im more then happy with the bios settings ;)

  • Can't get k330b to boot from cd

    I need to be able to boot this machine from a dvd/cd.
    I bought this machine to test various OS , say linux, win server etc.
    When I put an ISO image in, it won't boot from the CD, and I can't find a way to get into setup.
    I did the holding F2, but there is no option to say boot from CD!
    If anyone can show me the way, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    iso are ment to be burnt onto a cd and when they are burnt the iso image is extracted and you should get a full cd layout on it
    you have to enter the bios dont have that model so cant say how to get in but del or f2 or f1
    then you have to look for boot order and make sure dvd is first

  • I have an old iMac that won't boot up anymore.  I have the OS X install disks but I can't get it to boot from these disks.  No need to save anything.  Any suggestions?

    I have an old iMac.  Not sure of the operating system but the install disks say OS X.  The computer will not boot anymore and all I keep getting is to restart and when I do I keep getting the same message.  I do have the install disks but I can't get the computer to install, or for that matter, read the disks.  I would like to rebuild the computer from these disks so that I can continue to use this computer.  There is no need to save anything on the computer as I backed it up months ago.  Any suggestions as to how I can save this computer and not have to recycle it?

    Really need to know what version of OS X it is currently running, and what version you are trying to install.

  • IMac can't/won't boot from Leopard DVD

    My 1GHz G4 iMac can't or won't boot from the DVD, although I know the media is good.
    I get stuck on the grey screen, the rotating bug stops rotating after about 5 minutes.
    It will still boot from the hard disk fine, and will boot with other DVDs as well. Hardware diagnostics check out fine.
    I did try single user mode, it will get there OK.
    Verbose mode spits out a lot of messages (who knew? - lol), but nothing that seems to point to any one issue. It too stops spitting out messages after about 10 minutes.
    Any ideas?

    I did try the clicking the mouse thing just for the heck of it... no joy.
    I do see a few other threads like this one, so I'm not alone on this.
    The error messages I see are (not going to type them out all the way):
    launchd[1]: Failed to count the number of files in /System/Library/StartupItems no such file or directory
    Then a bunch of mDNSResponder errors, also saying either no such file/directory or invalid destination port.
    Then a message saying Folder Manager is being asked to create a folder (cach) while running as uid 0
    Then Cannot use ATS Persistent Store - switching to old FODB cache code
    kextd[47]: root filesystem is read-only; skipping kernel link data generation
    followed by a couple of errors from configdp[41]
    Then nothing....
    Still stuck...

  • Satellite C655D-S530​3 will not boot from cd/dvd drive

    I have already set the boot order in the BIOS to boot from cd/dvd drive first and it still goes straight to the HDD and starts Windows 7. I searched for this problem and found some people saying to switch it to CSM boot or disable secure boot but none of these options are available in the BIOS. I have it set to normal boot instead of fast so thats not the problem. Can anyone help me here? I am trying to reformat and reinstall Windows 7. I know the Windows 7 installation disk I have is good because I have used it in another computer and the cd/dvd drive works fine. I just can't get it to boot from the cd/dvd drive before the HDD.
    Solved!

    Try setting the HDD to lowest boot priority. See Dave's solution in this message.
    It's certainly easier to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are preinstalled in the proper order. Windows is preactivated.
    If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain recovery media from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

  • K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

    I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it.  I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations?  I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso.  I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
    I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine.  I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP).  I have BIOS 3.6.  I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
    Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work?  Will it never work no matter what I do? 
    I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings. 
    Any suggestions?  (thanks in advance)

    If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
    Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

    Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

  • Can't get RAID to boot... simple fix?

    Hey everyone,
    Just got my K8N Neo Plat with 3200 CG Clawhammer.  
    Got RAID set up and XP Pro SP1 installed okay, but now I can't get Windows to boot.  
    FIRST BOOT DEVICE:  HARD DRIVE
    SECOND BOOT DEVICE:  FLOPPY
    THIRD BOOT DEVICE: CD-ROM
    IDE RAID: ENABLED (with all appropriate ports and SATA channels as well)
    When I select BOOT LIST - F11 from POST screen, I can select Hard Drive, but then it also gives me an additional menu where it displays my two Seagate Barraccuda's individually, and then my RAID.  When I select the RAID from this list, it's fine, and XP boots.  When I restart and boot normally, however, it's like it's trying to boot off of my striped drives individually, and I get "A disk-read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart" at the IRQ/Verifiying DMI Resources screen.
    I can't find this hard drive sub-menu that allows me to boot my RAID in the BIOS when I select my boot devices.  How can I fix this?  
    Thanks,
    Odie

  • Qosmio E10-102 - Can't boot from CD/DVD

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio E10-102 Notebook here. The Hard Disk is defect and I have to install the operating system on a new hard disk but I cannot boot from CD/DVD. After the Qosmio Boot Screen it displays "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready...".
    When I press F1, I get the ACPI BIOS version 1.5 boot menu, but I only can change date, time and the password. The Boot Priority is HDD -> FDD -> CD and I can't change it. The manual says to hold F12 while Booting, but this has no effect. Even pressing the "c" key doesn't boot the Disk.
    I tried do put the hard disk in an other Notebook and install there, but the Windows installation disk detects, that this is no Toshiba Laptop.
    Any idea how to solve the problem?

    If you cannot change it in BIOS settings it must be locked somehow and F12 will not work either. There is no sense to have non working option in BIOS but with F12. When this is locked in BIOS you can change just some basic stuff in BIOS but you will not have access to all other advanced options.
    If this option should be disabled than on all levels.
    Such locking will be always made in companies to avoid that people who work on notebooks can change anything and also have influence on preinstalled OS.
    The whole story is strange to me. Try to contact Toshiba service and ask for help. They can unlock BIOS.

  • Problem: installed new hard drive but can´t boot from leopard dvd

    So I just installed a new hard drive in my ibook G4. At first I started up the computer using the leopard DVD I had purchased. Got to Disk Utility and after a few seconds in the spin wheel came up and froze. So, I shut the computer down and when I tried to boot it again from the DVD I wouldn´t even reach the apple screen. Tried it a few times unsuccessfully.
    As an alternative I just tried booting the comptuer using the original CD and it did read it.
    I am currently at the installer page but I am concern about installing the old CD as I really would like to run the leopard dvd 10.5.
    Is it that my ibook g4 can´t be booted from leopard dvd?
    Please advise. thanks!!

    OK, so I decided to leave my computer resting all night and give it a new try this morning.
    This morning I was able to boot from the Leopard DVD, so I don´t really think it is a problem with my superdrive. Started to format at 32 minutes to complete. Then towards the 10th minute the spinning wheel appeared, I heard the fan running, then it stopped and then I heard the superdrive making some reading noises. Then all noises stopped and now the spinning wheel continues..not sure what to do now.
    In the meantime, I wanted to share also another problem that I´ve been having for quite some time which I don´t know if it is related to my current problem. It is with the computer power:
    - I´ve been experiecing load surges that take my computer from 100% to 1 or 0% and then goes to sleep or shuts down. The same thing happens when I am charging the computer.. it starts charging and showing 2 or 3% charge and then jacks up to 100% in minutes.
    - My computer also makes like a slight humming noise sometimes when the ring around the power cable is in orange color, so I move it around until it stops. When I do that sometimes it goes from orange to green eventhough it is not fully charged. There has been times that under green it appears to be charging (battery charging icon on desktop shows up), and other sometimes like right now when it is in green color and the battery icon on the desktop says ´99%´. Weird enough, once I get the cable in a certain position it enables the battery to charge, if I keep it without moving it, the load surges disappear (at least for some days).
    Should I try resetting the PMU? I´ve not done it because I don´t know what consequences it may have.
    NOTE: When I bought the computer I never calibrated my battery because I was (and still are) clueless when comes to computer technicalities. I tried using a different power adapter and get the sample problem.
    Below is the information I get from coconut battery:
    My battery is in its 256 load-cycle. current battery capacity 58512mAh (original battery capacity: 4400 mAh).

  • Can't get Powerbook to boot up...

    I have a powerbook 15" that I purchased in 2005; I usually have it in sleep mode last and when I went to use it last night, I noticed that the light in the front wasn't flickering on and off. I tried to power it up using the on/off button, but that didn't work either, so I don't know what's going on. Can't get it to boot up no matter how long I hold the power button. Any suggestions?

    Hi Emilio,
    If the suggestion that you received from Philo2 doesn't solve the problem, you might try holding down the start button for ten seconds. Wait a few seconds then try to start it again.
    Sometimes these PowerBooks go into deep sleep and don't respond to anything but a new startup.

  • MSI KT6V-LSR (MS-7021) Can't Boot From CD/DVD

    New to the forum and would like to say hello to everyone first.
    Here's my problem i can't boot from my DVD drive, my 2 HDD's and 2 DVD drives are working fine inside windows.
    Inside the bios screen they are detected in the right order, and are in the right boot order. I checked the jumpers on them and they seem fine and i haven't touch them since i changed my dvd rewriter 6 months ago and i have booted from a cd since then.
    I just booted up the Windows Xp disc on a differnt pc and it worked fine, yet on mine it goes straight to my XP OS.
    I was hoping someone could help me out, thanks.

    Did you install Nero 9  by any chance?
    Even if you didn't, and old version of InCD can cause this too.
    The problem is upper/lower filters, they are screwed and thus your CD's are missing in action.
    Run this tool inside windows: ftp://ftp6.nero.com/tools/General-CleanTool.zip
    As for booting, change the boot order in the BIOS, probably set to harddisk first.
    If that doesn't solve it, disconnect one of the CD's and test with a single one, maybe one is broken and hinders the other, but that is my last guess.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);
