Creating a boot disk or Usb Boot jump drive

I have  Satellite S55t-A5138, WITH UEIF bios,  like creatiing image backup. This new bios is new to me. How do I ceate a boot up dvd for Acronis 2014 premium  or O&O disk image 8 . I click on create with in the program ( each one ) . Once I make a disc , it will not boo up.
Do I have to disbale secure boot in the bios and change something else. It is becaming annoying that I am getting fed up
Could someone write down all the steps that I need to do .. I am running Windws 8.1
Dale Robinson

You'll want to ask Acronis and O&O about how to use their software.
Tell them you have a Windows 8 machine with UEFI and GPT partitioning.
BTW, Acronis 2014 cannot yet support my Surface Pro, but the free version of Macrium Reflect does. Go figure.

  • No boot disk detected or boot disk failed

    I'm asking this for my father. He does not have the internet right now.  Nothing to do with this issue though.
    He has a Pavillion 23, model # 23-1270.  A week ago he went to turn on his computer and got an error message saying, " No boot disk detected or boot disk failed.  My sister called HP and one of the techs said it was the hard drive and it needed to be replaced.  So it was replaced.  Went to put Windows 8 back on from the disk, and it still pops up with "No boot disk detected or boot disk failed".  My sister ran diagnostics on it and it comes back saying that the hard drive passed.   But nothing about the dvd/cd player.  Would it not pick that up?  It is part of the computer.  My question is:  Now that the hard drive has passed, and its not reading the Windows 8 disk, is it a dvd/cd problem, or is it some thing totally different?  My sister and my dad have money issues right now and can't afford to use an HP tech.  So I'm hoping that someone knows what could be wrong and what I may be able to try.
    Thank you so very much,
    Andrea K.

     Hello liv2lrn,     
    This is bad news especially around Christmas time. Your fathers computer is not worth fixing. Motherboard is corrupted, because these steps given faild. It is cheeper to buy another computer then it is replacing a motherboard.  That's even if HP has one in stock. What I would do is shop on E-Bay you can find real good deals there for another good used one.  I puchased a high value Sony VGC-LLT25E 24" screen computer for $300.00 Amazon at the time had two listed for $1999.00 and the other one at $1800.00 both were sold with in two weeks.  I got lucky . That computer has out lasted three HP computers witch are newer. It is in mint condition runs a whole lot better then my HP's computers do.  Shop wisely.  You can save lots of money like I did.
    Good Luck I am sure you can find a real good deal like I did.
    frrw.

  • Is it possible to boot from a USB 2.0 drive?

    I use CCC to clone my main drive to external drives. I have used these to boot using either Firewire 400 or Firewire 800. Will a USB 2.0 drive also work as a boot drive? Thanks.

    Most of them will. If you have or are considering a Western Digital, see their list of which ones should and +should not+ boot: http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=1787. But note the disclaimer that they don't support it +*at all.+*

  • Boot disk doesn't boot

    Hi,
    I just installed my MS-6380 KT3 Ultra MoBo, everything working just fine. Except for one thing; every single boot disk I make (GRUB/Win98/DOS6.22/DR DOS/Win95), it doesn't boot on my pc. The bootdisks boot on the other PC I own tho.
    I've setup the Boot Sequence in the BIOS correctly, it says 'Searching for Boot Record on Floppy...', then just boots from my C: drive. I've tried enabling the Floppy Seek option in the BIOS, but it didn't work.
    Someone please help me, I need this urgently to boot my second OS (SkyOS).
    Thank you.

    Let me get this straight; by lead you mean the connector to wich the drive is plugged in? Because there is just one of that.
    I've tried a different drive, but same problem. :(
    But the drive works just fine, I can read and write to a disk, including the bootsector.

  • Using Disk Utility to format jump drives to work on a PC?

    I have tried several times to format usb jump drives using Disk Utility and then I copy files to it and try to open it on a Windows computer and it prompts me that it needs to be formatted on the Windows computer. How do I format it on a Mac to work on a PC? I have tried this with different usb drives using the MS DOS format option.
    Thanks.

    Dude,
    Of course this isn't a jumpdrive but for externals...
    There's a bug in Apple's disk utility software when using USB. I just had this happen to me too. The work around is to use Firewire when formatting. Fortunately, I have a multi port interface so changing to Firewire wasn't an issue.

  • [Solved] Persistent Device Naming for Full Disk Encryption & USB Boot

    Using the following boot option does not work while using FDE (dm-crypt plain) due to the filesystem being unreachable until decryption.
    cryptdevuce=UUID=xxxx-xxxx:root
    sda
    └   root   /
    sdb
    └  sdb1   /boot
    This forces the use of /dev/sda for booting, but occasionally a USB device is mapped to sda instead.
    Is there a way to use Persistent Block Device Naming for this type of FDE?

    MSC wrote:What exactly is not working? It shouldn't matter if the USB device maps to /dev/sda because the partition with that UUID still resides on the same disk.
    I guess I should be more clear. The entire sda device is encrypted. This meas that during the initialization there is no UUID is read from the disk because the filesystem cannot be read until it is unencrypted.
    This leaves me in a catch 22 where I cannot use UUID until the device is unencrypted, but I need UUID to boot & decrypt the device properly. Here is an example of what the computer sees in the Arch Install.
    NAME            FSTYPE   LABEL                UUID                                 MOUNTPOINT
    sda                                                                       
    sdb                iso9660     ARCH_201501    2015-01-01-09-54-22-00               
    ├─sdb1          iso9660    ARCH_201501     2015-01-01-09-54-22-00       /run/archiso/bootmnt
    └─sdb2          vfat           ARCHISO_EFI    9051-9287                           
    sdc                                                                       
    └─sdc1          vfat                                     4EC5-5B7D                        (normally /boot)
    As you can see, sda has no uuid.
    So I guess what I'm asking is if there is any alternative method because it does not look like I can use anything in the wiki.

  • PowerBook will not boot, Disk Utility does not see drive, HW Diag Pass

    My PowerBook Ti will no longer boot. I am getting a flashing what looks like OS 9 face, and folder in the middle of the screen, and they alternate.
    I have Tiger Disks so I tried booting from them and running the disk utility. The drive is not recognized.
    I decided to run the PowerBook's hardware diagnostic disk. Both sets of test passed. I was expecting to see the mass storage one to fail, but it did not.
    I am kind of stuck, does anybody have any kind of suggestion?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lee
    PS Hitting apple S is not recognized during the boot.

     Could this be a bad logic board????
    Yes. Or a bad hard drive cable, or a poorly seated connection on either end of that cable.
    The HD cable is fairly delicate and needs to be handled with care when connecting and disconnecting, as when you're replacing the HD. It's possible that your first HD failed, and then you damaged the cable when removing it or installing the new drive, so that even though the second drive is new and presumably in good working order, it can't be used because the cable is now bad. I would suggest investing a small amount in a new HD cable before replacing the LB or returning the new HD. Any of these parts vendors should be able to supply one:

  • Booting from a USB 2.0 flash drive

    After reading an article on website MAC OS X Hints on booting from a USB 2.0 flash drive I decided to try it. I used DasBoot to create an OSX system. I then booted in Open Firmware and typed 'devalias' as the instuction said to do but I never got the 'ud' listing that I was supposed to see so I was never able to boot off the drive. I followed all the instuctions then typed mac-boot. When the system restarted it momentarily flashed the folder with the ? on it then proceeded to boot off the internal HD. Anyone else tried to boot off a USB 2.0 drive with an iMac G5 Rev A running 10.4.10 and was successful?

    Since you didn't post a reference to the OS X Hints article it's hard to tell what you may have done wrong. When you post a problem you need to provide complete information.
    That said you shouldn't have to do anything special except to be sure you properly partition and format the flash device:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility.
    2. After DU loads select your flash 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. Click on the Options button and be sure to select the APM partition scheme then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition only.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume mounts 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 formatting has completed you can install OS X and then upgrade it to 10.4.10. That should be all you need do. Now open the Startup Disk preference pane, select the icon of the flash drive, then click on the Restart button.

  • Can I use USB external DVD Drive to boot up my G4?

    My G4 (PCI Graphics) internal drive DVD-ROM is not working, its dead. I want to replace it with an External USB or Firewire Lacie DVD Drive.
    According to Apple document http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58606, my computer cant boot up from Firewire devices. I think that means, I wont be able reinstall my Mac OS or install future systems or start my DiskWarrior from the CD. Using a external Firewire DVD Drive. Let me know if I am wrong?
    Can I use a USB external DVD Drive to boot up?
    G4 (PCI Graphics) 400 mhz, 488Mb Memory, 50GB, 9.2.2 & 10.3.9. USB 1.0 & Firewire 400 Ports
    G4 (PCI Graphics)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hi, Harold -
    Bad news - your G4 (PCI) model can not boot to either a firewire drive nor to a USB drive.
    Although the G4 (PCI) models do have native firewire, they (and their cousins the B&W G3) are specifically exempted from firewire booting; there is no workaround for this -
    Article #58606 - FireWire Booting
    Relatedly, a G4 (PCI) machine can be the Host machine in a Firewire Target Disk Mode setup, but can not be the Target machine.
    Article #58583 - Firewire Target Disk Mode
    USB booting was introduced first on the G4 (AGP) model, and is not available on earlier Mac models -
    Article #58430 - USB Info and Benefits of Dual-Channel USB
    The only external drive your G4 (PCI) can be booted to is a SCSI drive - but that requires that the machine have an appropriate SCSI PCI card installed.
    Replacing the internal optical drive might be the best choice, particularly for ease of maintenance and OS installing in the future.

  • Lock of choice boot disk is not persistent

    Good evening,
    I want to lock the system preferences start to ensure that the iMac does not seek a boot disk on USB devices.
    So I select the internal disk OS X and locks the settings by clicking on the padlock.
    While I don't shutdown the iMac, the lock remains closed.
    But each time I restart the iMac, I noticed that the lock is open again for the preference of the startup disk.
    Is this normal?
    Why this configuration is not persistent between restarts?
    (Contrary to other locks them securely locked remaining)
    I forgot something?
    Thank you for your help.
    ps: I also did a PRAM reset, without success.

  • How to move my boot disk to an external Thunderbolt disk?

    So my wife and I both have Late 2010 iMac's.  Her's died.  We got a new thin-style iMac one and restored her from time machine.  It was perfect - except for one thing.  The 1TB disk drive that's not replacable in her iMac *****.  It's just the 5400 RPM model and it's REALLY sluggish.  She's been using it a year now, and complains about the speed of her computer.
    I know there are USB3 and Thunderbolt disk options out there - so I'm thinking that perhaps moving her boot disk to an external thunderbolt disk makes total sense - a little big disk for instance, is light-years faster - and she'll be able to work better with that.
    The question is - how do I move her boot disk over to an external drive?  I'd also want to make sure the external disk is the default boot disk for this until it's time to replace the thing - is that possible?

    This is meant to address several comments:
    Of course, preferring a 7200 vs. 5400 rpm drive is a matter of personal preference (as is preferring an MBP over an iMac or whatever). My personal preference: the best quality (and that includes speed) I can afford/decide to spend for the intended task). I also do not buy drives that do not include their own power source.
    And - to me - the 5400 is noticeably slower in everyday tasks. I had a malfunctioning external 7200 rpm drive; the mfr sent me another under warranty. I did not know that they had switched to 5400 rpm drives until I did my first clone to it. I was surprised that it seemed to take longer than usual, so I tested it: did one clone each from the same machine to two drives (same mfr, one 5400 and the other 7200) using CCC (did not use the machine or add/delete anything in between). The result: the clone to the 7200 drive finished in 38 minutes, the clone to the 5400 drive took 50 minutes. To me, that is a noticeable difference; I believe that cloning can be considered an everyday task.
    The fact that the OP's drive is sluggish may, indeed, have another/different cause. I addressed his question whether or not he would be able to run his iMac from an external source. And yes, he can if he wishes to do so - I outlined the how-to steps.
    For me personally, a 5400 drive will not do - for someone else, it might be just right. You may not perceive the difference in speed, but I do. Since that is a matter of preference and everyone has their own and is therefore entitled to their opinion - mine may be different than yours; however, that does not make it less valid.
    That is my last post re. the differences of opinion; I'll be happy to discuss any technical issues related to the OP's concerns.

  • Puzzled - Boot Disk full after update to 10.5.7

    Hi,
    I have updated to 10.5.7. The following may or may not be connected!
    My Boot Disk (69GB) previously had roughly 13GB of free space. However this morning the Boot Disk was reported as being full.
    I don't believe there were any other significant downloads/installations in the past few days. Furthermore I have a copy of the Boot Disk which I made using SuperDuper last night. This copy shows up in Finder as 56GB.
    I've also used WhatSize to examine the Boot Disk. It reports the drive almost full but at the same time indicates that there is only 53GB used on the disk. See [WhatSize screen grab|www.naomhfionnbarra.ie/WhatSize.png]
    Any thoughts before I take radical action?
    Frank

    I have two suggestions.
    10.5.7 has some flaws - no kidding. they seem to relate to permission issues.
    Use cocktail 4.3.2 to repair permissions
    And, their is a program called genius repairs drives and corrects problems. Both programs are available from MacOs Software.
    However, I had a similar problem, I couldn't copy files to my external drive and went to macfixit. They suggested to safe boot your computer by holding down the shift key. Then use your disk utility program and correct the permissions. Then reinstall 10.5.7 combo and then repair your permissions a second time after the reinstallation of 10.5.7 from:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
    Good luck

  • Boot Installation media from USB flash/Pen Drive?

    Hi there,
    The hardrive on my X60 died. Died so badly that even Resue and Recovery wouldn't start yet alone Windows (even in safe mode).
    I have a new hard drive and installation media en route from Lenovo (laptop was under warranty)
    The problem is that the installation media is on CD/DVD and my laptop does not have an optical drive.
    So my questions are:
    1. Can the installation media be installed from a USB Pen/Flash drive? (the BIOS does support USB booting)
    2. Does anyone have experience of this or instructions?
    On a side note I find it slightly irritating that even under warranty Lenovo won't supply me software/hardware that will return my laptop to its original state without the user, me, potentially having to buy an external optical drive. The warranty support chap said "you'll just need to buy an external USB optical drive" - *sighs*
    Cheers
    Lawrence

    Tnx 4 ur reply RX-8.
    I bought the lappie used. It had BIOS ver. 103 when I bought it, so I upgraded to ver. 111 and it kept on booting from pen drives just fine.
    A few days after I bought it, the internal HDD failed with S.M.A.R.T. ID 5, something about reallocated sectors count. I got an exact replacement for the dead HDD. When I installed it, I unplugged the lappie's battery, then plugged the battery back in before I buttoned it all up. I think THAT was the start of my USB flash pen drive boot problem.
    The new HDD is fine. It passes the HGST Drive Fitness Test with long SMART test, which takes between 2 and 3 hours.
    I tried the EC update. Inside the zip file was a TXT file with a link to an MSI page that has a PDF file on how to do the EC update. I had that PDF open on another machine when I did the EC update so I could follow the instructions exactly.
    After an F9 on the UEFI screen to restore defaults and an F10 to save the UEFI config, I rebooted and everything seemed OK. I then used a pin to force a reset. For the second time, I unplugged the lappie and waited a few minutes for the EC memory to clear.
    I still have the same problem. I can't boot from a USB flash pen drive.
    I'm enclosing shots of my USB config with XHCI enabled and disabled. I tried to boot from a pen drive with both XHCI settings. No joy. Will I ever be able to boot from a USB flash pen drive again?
    I should also mention that I have a portable HDD with a USB 3 interface that boots just fine on other machines but won't boot on the GS60 Ghost. The LED on the portable HDD comes on and the lappie screen just sits there with a blinking underscore cursor.
