Does hp dc7900 support booting from 3tb hdd?

does hp dc7900 minitower support booting from 3tb hdd?

Hi:
Probably not.
In order to be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD, you need:
1. A UEFI BIOS, which I do not believe the dc7900 has.
There is a picture (see page 5 at the link below) of the HP splash screen for an HP business desktop that has a UEFI BIOS. If your HP splash screen doesn't look like the one in the picture, then you will not be able to boot from a 3 TB HDD.
2. A GPT-formatted hard drive.

  • Mobo Support for booting from USB hdd

    Hi,
    I have a K8N Diamond.
    How can I check whether my mobo can support booting from USB hdd?
    I know it can boot from the USB-CDROM.
    If not, do I need a bios update?

    How to identify your BIOS and m/b version
    But please don't go flashing your BIOS just for the sake of doing so.
    Your USB HDD will be listed under Hard Disks in BIOS, there won't be a USB-HDD option
    Wow, thanks for the link and the pointer. I've found out where the USB hdd is now.
    I won't flash my bios for the sake of that thanks to you, but I'm upgrading to a Dual-Core soon and I realised my bios is w7100nms v1.0.
    So I have to flash my bios soon. Any tips regarding this?

  • No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

    Hi,
    I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
    Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
    Or am I missing something . . . ?
    Regards,
    -krish

    Hi Krish
    As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

    I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
    Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

    I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
    Mine:
    MB-   Obvious
    CPU-  2.4 800Mhz
    RAM-  2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
    HDD-  80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
    VGU-  Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
    CD#1- 52x cd rom
    CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
    500W raidmax Pwr Sup
    Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
    For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
    Red light internaly
    Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
    1.cpu  2.ram  3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
    Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

  • Solaris support booting from san ?

    Does anyone know if Solaris 10 supports booting from a san fabric lun ? In particular, an IBM DS4800.
    The installer doesn't see the luns when it comes time to choose a disk to install on, only the internal disks.
    The server is a IBM LS20 blade. I've managed to install Sol. 10 on the internal drives and can see the luns on the DS4800.
    I'm using Solaris 10 Express 10/05 x86/64.
    Brian.

    Do you see the luns after boot? I'm wondering if there isn't a driver for your controller in the default installation environment. I would assume one could be added (that being one of the big benefits of newboot). Especially if you could create a jumpstart server. (It's easer to add a driver to it than to burn a new CD/DVD).

  • Ideapad S205 doesn't support booting from SDHC-Card

    Hello,
     I have the Ideapad S205 and  I cannot boot from a SDHC-Card (Ubuntu Linux) with the internal cardreader. With an external card reader  I can boot from the SDHC-Card.
    Is there any solution or maybe a BIOS-Upgrade?
    Thanks
    Simon

    when you see lenovo logo, press f12 to set bios order.
    also, check for bios booting option. if there's not option, i don't think s205 supports booting from sdhc, but apparently it supports usb boot.

  • Does mountain lion support install from a RAID drive?

    does mountain lion support install from a RAID drive?

    Apple does not support the 3rd party drives.  To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
    http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
    I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
    the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
    Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly.  After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.

  • Boot from Raid-hdd with a controller card installed?

    Hi,
    I have a problem. I've just intalled a Windows 2000 my HDD3 (IDE-raid) and everthing went well. I've put the 1st boot option to SCSI and it boots normal. But when I add a hdd to my controller card (Promise Ultra100) it doesn't boot the raid, instead, it tries to boot from the hdd on the controller-card. I've just got this card, and had a KT3-Ultra ARU before. There I could change between "Ultra-0, Ultra-1, Raid-0 and Raid-1 etc. etc." in the bios, where Ultra stands is the Controller card and Raid in the onboard raid. So, why can't I do this on this, newer card? Any1 know how to work around it or how to fix it?
    This is what I have:
    IDE1:
            Master:  Western 180GB
            Slaev:    Maxtor  250GB
    IDE2:
            Master: NEC 1300A
            Slave:  Lite-on-it 40125W
    IDE3 (Raid):
            Master: Maxtor 80GB
            Slave:   Maxtor 80GB
    Controller card IDE4:
            Master: Western 250GB
            Slave:   Western 250GB
    Controller card IDE5:
            Master: Western 200GB
            Slave:   Seagate 30Gb
    Controller card = Promise Ultra100
    And yes, I have the modded version of the bios couse I wanted to have a real raid on my IDE-drives. How can it even be raid if it's only one drive? But that doesn't really matter, couse the boot-options are the same as before.

    Hi, I did as u said and bought a new controller card (Titan Electronics Inc. Ultra ATA/133 IDE). But it didn't help, it's the same as with the older Promise card.
    This is what happenes:
    When I add a hdd to the controller card it finds the hdd and such. Everything works normal untill the os-boot-process begins. Because there is only one alternative called "SCSI" in the bios, where u chose where to boot from it thinks it should boot from the controller card (cause it is a kind of SCSI-card). But I want it to boot from the raided-drivers on the onboard raid (whitch also is a kind of SCSI-card). The thing is that it mixes them up, and only tries to boot from the controller card i've installed, and ignores the raided-drivers. When I had my Kt3 Ultra-aru I could chose between booting from:
    IDE0
    IDE1
    IDE2
    IDE3
    CDRom
    Raid0
    Raid1
    (this options only showed up when I had my Promise ULTRA controller installed on it)
    ULTRA0
    ULTRA1
    ULTRA2
    ULTRA3
    But with this, newer and more expensive card, I can only chose SCSI in the boot sequnce.
    Any idea how to fix that? Maybe to mail to the MSI so they fast can added that choice to the BIOS in an update?
    Would be thankfull for any help possible

  • P67a-GD80 won't boot from USB HDD

    Trying to boot from a bootable thumb drive.
    I've got the bios checked to boot from USB HDD first.
    Still boots from HDD.
    When I disable second & third boot devices (hdd & cd-rom), I get the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key".
    Ideas?

  • Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

    The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware.  That basically means three things:
    1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago.  Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
    2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
    3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
    Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback.  If that does not happen, you are basically on your own.  Test it and see for yourself.  That would be my advice. It should actually work.  The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.  

  • Boot from Ultrabay HDD in T500/400 R500/400

    Does the BIOS support this?

    Hi Der / Nalia
    These are really questions concerning how to boot Windows from an external drive. I would think it would be better to post them on a Windows forum somewhere or maybe with Microsoft. You probably would get a quicker response then here on the Mac forums. I'm not trying to run you off or anything, I just want you to get the help you need.
    Can you even boot Windows off an external drive? I didn't think it was possible, but then again I don't have a whole lot of experience with windows.

  • UCS C260M2: How to boot from local hdd (RAID) ?

    Hi all,
    i just integrated a C260 to UCS Manager. (converted from standalone to UCSM)
    Then i tried to push a serviceprofile on it
    -> got config error "Local disk config destructive to current storage There are not enough resources overall"
    Thats okay because after that I was told that there was an image installed on the C260M2 in standalone mode.
    So now I tried to boot the server from the installed image, but I can not boot from the local disks.
    It always boots the UCS-SCU (Server Configuration Utility)
    I tried watched for any solutions so I disabled all the boot options in the BIOS, now I get the error "no boot device found"
    Unfortunately I can not find any boot option to boot from local disks.
    I can see following RAID Configuration in "inventory > rack mounts > servers > server 1 > Inventory > Storage
    The 16 Disks (10 SAS and 6 SSD) are controlled via 2 RAID Controllers, each one controlls 8 Disks (5 SAS and 3 SSD) in RAID 0 striped.
    - Is there a way to boot from the local HDD with the standalone mode installed image ?
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/3810051#3810051 does not work, because of no internal RAID Controllers, both are PCIe Raid Controllers.
    - Have I lost my preinstalled image, as I converted from standalone to UCSM integraded ?
    Best regards
    Alois

    Hello Alois,
    First of all, rack server can have only one RAID controller when it is managed by UCSM.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2.1/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_1_chapter_011110.html#d180135e3777a1635
    ------------ snip --------------
    Maximum of One RAID Volume and One RAID Controller in Integrated Rack-Mount Servers
    A rack-mount server that has been integrated with Cisco UCS Manager can have a maximum of one RAID volume irrespective of how many hard drives are present on the server.
    All the local hard drives in an integrated rack-mount server must be connected to only one RAID Controller. Integration with Cisco UCS Manager does not support the connection of local hard drives to multiple RAID Controllers in a single rack-mount server. We therefore recommend that you request a single RAID Controller configuration when you order rack-mount servers to be integrated with Cisco UCS Manager.
    In addition, do not use third party tools to create multiple RAID LUNs on rack-mount servers. Cisco UCS Manager does not support that configuration.
    I hope service profile association has failed without making any changes to RAID configuration and it is currently operating as standalone rack server.
    If yes, check if you have Flexflash card installed and SCU partition is enabled. If yes, you can disable it.
    Are the two RAID controllers listed in boot order menu ?
    Is RAID array ( virtual drive ) is in boot list ?

  • Help booting from external hdd

    So I ran disk utility on my internal HDD and received a message telling me to back up as much info and reformat.  I purchased a 3TB WD My Studio external and CCC.  I followed the instructions via CCC to format and create the recovery partition afterwhich I cloned my internal HDD.  When I go to boot from the external, holding the option key down, I first get a message to connect wireless keyboard followed by Disk Utility activation.  After quiting Disk Utility I'm promted to select startup disk which I selected the WD Mybook drive followed by restart.  After restart nothing except a light grey screen.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance.

    Anyway, I don't use TM as I don't care for it. I use bootable clones - I have two of every system I'm running. However, I also still want the recovery partition. And, when I upgraded my MBP to an SSD, I installed the "ex" internal drive in the external enclosure for an instant backup copy.
    Yeah, the board is messed up tonight   lots of posts you cant see.
    I just posted this 2 days ago on this topic...., see what you think:
    Ideal philosophy and security of your valuable data
    I dont care for TM either, same reason DS store doesnt.  Also there are no Pros using TM as an archive or storage utility.
    Agreed, but if you have this >

    Then you youve got a recovery partition.

    However, I also still want the recovery partition.
    But WHY??   If youve got clones like myself, what use for a recovery partition? ...I Dont need it, never will.
