How to boot usb

Hello Sir,
I have Notebook HP PAVALION DV1000 and i am unable to boot my usb on my laptop and i also dont find the usb boot option in bios
please tell me what should i do because i want to install windows

If the setup menu or the BIOS does not offer a USB as a boot device, then the PC is too old for that. Older devices did not offer USB as a boot choice.
Try looking at the THREAD. I have not tried it.

How to boot from USB flash drive - Portege R500

Hi,
I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, brought about 2 years ago, and recently contracted a worm virus that has infected some of the start up files as the minute I log in it logs out again, even in safe mode! Quickest way I can think of sorting it is to reformat it with the XP recovery disc and reinstall windows.
Problem!! The CD/DVD drive on the laptop stopped working a while ago, have tried pretty much everything in the thread on this site but had no luck.
So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it that way. However in the boot settings I only have the options of HDD / FDD / CD-ROM / LAN, neither of these will work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi
As far as I know it should be possible to boot from USB FDD
Im not sure if you would be able to boot from USB flash drive but its definitely worth a try
Generally you could try to press F12 button when notebook powers up.
Then a boot menu should appear on the display and you should see all bootable devices.
PS: As far as I know the USB booting was available in ToshibaHWSetup (Toshiba tool which changes the BIOS settings in windows OS.) Therefore I assume booting from USB should be possible.

Satellite 1800-804: How to boot from a USB device?

I have a satellite 1800-804 and i like to know how to boot the notebook from a usb device.

Hi
If you want to boot from USB device you should press down U key on keyboard just after pressing power button but I dont know if this will work (as far as I know it works with external FDD device).
Try to boot up the unit with start disk (FDD) and load the MS-DOS driver for the external CD/DVD-ROM if you can find it on manufacturers download page.

How to Boot a MacBookPro with Ubuntu v10.10 on USB drive??

With Unbuntu v10.10 on my USB jump drive plugged into my MacBook Pro (OS X v10.6.6) & holding down the "alt" key during power-up, only the MacBook internal hard drive is available for selection.
Also tried holding down "command" + "option" + "F" + "0" during power up to access EFI but system boots as normal with no Bios or EFI settings available to change boot device. Plus using Statup Disk under System Preference shows only the MacBook Internal Hard Drive or Network as options, no USB.
Am I doing something wrong or is there another way to boot Ubuntu v10.10 from a USB jump drive on my MacBook Pro?

the easy step is boot linux with usb in a mac, the hard step is this run well configured, and you can run all features of you computer booting from a usb.
You cannot boot a MBR disc from USB, but you can boot an efi disc. You nees install grub-efi, and run it. If your mac is old, is possible that you cannot boot grub-efi from the efi boot particion (the first, that it is fomat in FAT32), and in this case, you need an HFS+ for boot grub-efi.
You can read this topic of ubuntu forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995704
and in the grub web, has a wiki that you can learn how to configure the grub-efi and how to boot it in mac.
Good luck!

You should just be able to erase it using Disk Utiilty. I did with my 8Gb.
If not I have a USB deep format tool, but it only works with Windows: http://tinyurl.com/mwor6s9
You can download that and unzip it, then run it on a PC to fully erase and format the flash drive. Format it in FAT, and then the Mac will read and mount it so you cna once again format it with HFS extended for Mac use.

Satellite C870-191 - How to boot on a CD or a USB drive?

Hi!
I would like to know how to boot on a CD or a USB drive.
My computer is a Toshiba Laptop Satellite C870-191.
I have saved a new boot order on BIOS screen but it doesn't work as expected.
Your sincerely,
J.M.O.

Hi
This is very strange
Set the BIOS to default.
To access the BIOS press F2, then press F9 to get default settings and save changes pressing F10.
Then reboot the notebook and press F12 several times in the row usually the boot menu should appear on the display
Now choose ODD as boot device
Furthermore pressing C button at the beginning should also enable ODD as boot device

How to create Lion recovery boot usb WITHOUT recovery partition?

I give up. I can't find the answer to this. So, I'll just ask and hope.
I have a mid-2011 mini that was upgraded to Lion. However, it had a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7.
Apparently, whoever upgraded my machine didn't create a recovery boot disk before upgrading.
So, I have no recovery partition and apparently no ability to create a recovery boot usb without one.
Apple's ******** support policy is to completely wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything--which is simply not going to happen.

I made one on a USB flash drive.
Problem with that solution is that:
Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
If you kept a copy of the installer, then open it up, and restore the InstallESD.dmg to an empty partition or flash drive. Do note that doesn't give you the Recovery HD, but you won't need one since you can reinstall w/o downloading anything but additional components from Apple's servers.

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)

Can I recover my system by reinstalling Mountain Lion from boot USB on my failed Mavericks OS?

I have an iMac 8.1 with SSD and Mavericks installed.
Upon startup I get the flashing folder with questions mark, that tells me that it cannot boot.
I have a Mountain Lion boot USB, and with that I checked with Disk Utility if my disk can be repaired.
After verifying the disk, it tells me everything is fine with the disk.
So I guess the OS on the disk is damaged.
Can I use the Mountain Lion boot USB and reinstall OS X, and thereby preserve my files (settings are not most important).
I do have most of my data on an external HDD, but would have some valuable files the SSD (photos, documents and bookmarks).

Have you tried booting while holding down the Option key?

How to Boot From an External HD

I am still pondering getting a mini - I know that I will want a much larger hard drive (since I want to use it for media and will keep tons of video and music on it). I would like to know how to boot from an external hard drive. I've searched google, the forums, and apple support, and see people mention it all the time, but can't find out how to do it, etc. Is it just like running off my normal HD but all the files are kept on the external (so I could still access files thru itunes, etc.)?
Also, I would like to get a 500GB+ drive to keep my files on, and was wondering if people had recomendations. Brands, USB 2.0 or Firewire, etc.
Apologies if this is a novice question - but I can't seem to find answers anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly, it is certainly possible to boot from an external drive, so what you plan is not only feasible, but since the external would be faster than the internal drive, also rather beneficial to the efficient running of the mini - meaning, the system will be notably faster in use.
In my view, the best option is an external firewire drive, not USB. The reason is that FW has it's own dedicated controller while USB doesn't. In effect, it means that FW data transfer speeds are stable and consistent, while USB rates vary widely, depending on what else the system is doing.
Once you have your external drive connected, the easiest way to make it bootable is to copy your existing MacOS install from the internal drive using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner (downloadable from www.versiontracker.com). This will avoid having to do a lengthy reinstall. Once MacOS is copied, then open System Preferences, and the Startup Disk preference pane, and click on the external drive icon. The next restart will then be directed to the external.
Once you have booted from the external drive, you use it just as you would an internal, and MacOS will treat it as the boot volume, including by default, placing your user account folders on it, including your documents, music etc.

Boot Camp forgot how to boot

Im getting "no bootable device" (or something close to this). It's flipping weird so let's start with a chain of events.
I must install WinXP via an external LaCie d2 USB/FW device. This thing can boot off Leopard install DVD just fine. It used to be able to boot off Win XP install DVD just fine too. The later capability evaporated in mid air or something else equally senseless.
1- use Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
2- Windows did it's thing just fine up to the first reboot.
3- Windows can't boot allegedly because of this: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1722?viewlocale=en_US)
4- Start over from scratch.
5- used Boot Camp Assistant to partition HDD then start installation.
6- no can do.
It forgot how to boot off the Windows DVD. It lost the capability right there. I get either: (paraphrased) "No bootable device found. Press any key to continue" or the blank grey screen. There is no key that does anything. It's dead, Jim. I must shutdown the mac by holding the power button long enough then hold option down to select Mac. OK.
What is going on? I went as far as re-flashing the DVD firmware. It's all dandy in there. Nothing to report.
What am I supposed to do now?
Pretty please...
confusingly yours,
Andrew from Canada

OK. A bit more infos as well as a bump.
The WinXP disk show up in boot camp when connected via FW then Windows can't use FW to boot so it's pointless...
It does not show up in boot camp when connected via USB.
I know it can boot from USB because it already did that once.. This is also the official procedure for installing Windows into a Macbook Air. So there
It forgot how... or it villainy refuse to.
Come on guys, throw me a bone here. At least one of you must have a clue...

How to boot from external Hardisk where sap is installed

Hi friends,
I have an External Hardisk where SAP is installed in it i.e., Win 2003 on C drive & SAP on D drive.
In my laptop Win XP is there, but I am trying to boot with External Hardisk where Win 2003 is installed.

So can anyone help me How to boot from Hardisk.

Hi,
You can not boot OS from USB devices in Windows.
Create the separate drive on your existing disc and install windows on that drive and use ur USB disc for installing SAP.
Hope it'll help u....

How to boot a Lenovo G580 from disk

Okay! Apologies if I've missed this exact same post somewhere, I Googled for literally days and couldn't find a sausage about how to boot my Lenovo G580 from disk but I've finally, by accident, found the answer!
So, when you go to the boot menu, it'll look something like this:
(Note: this image is taken from Google, I had no way of taking a picture of my own)
Now, if you're like me, you would think that in order to boot the laptop from a disk, you'd need to re-order so that the highlighted line was at the top! Makes sense, right? Well let me tell you, I don't know what the heck that is but it sure ain't the right option to boot from disk. You need to actually make the 'USB CD' option the first one and viola! It works! I did it on a whim because I'd tried everything else, why not right? Turns out I'm the luckiest person in the world and I did a victory lap of the house.

Hi Daniel,
thank you for your reply.
I just checked again if I can boot the RT-system without the floppy disk, from harddisk only - but that doesn't work ("DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK...").
Of course, the boot order in BIOS is set up appropriately to allow booting from harddisk.
And also, the complete software package was already installed on harddisk via MAX through the previously configured network connection.
Actually, it seems there is no boot loader installed on harddisk at RT-systems for desktop-PC's.
The boot loader has to be launched from the floppy boot disk and afterwards, the further boot program is loaded from hard disk.
Is there anyone who can boot a desktop-PC into RT without the floppy disk? And what do I have to set up in order to make it work for our system?
Thanks,
Tom S.

I replaced the battery on my RAID card, when I booted my mac pro up, I get the folder with the question mark. I used a boot USB drive to boot and when I looked in the RAID utility, my RAID 5 volumes were no longer showing, advise.

Not sure if I'm following you. I have 4 hard drives installed on my Mac Pro. I had a RAID 5 configured and functional for about 5 months. My battery died on the RAID card. I replaced the battery, seated the RAID card back in the slot I removed it from. When I booted to the USB drive to look in the RAID utility, I could see the battery is charged but my volumes are not showing.
The drives don't show in disk Utility. I built the RAID with the RAID Utility and they did show there. I have a early 2008 Mac Pro, Mavricks OS running Mac Server
