HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 not booting up from USB (to clean install windows)

Hello there,
I have been trying to install windows 7 ultimate using from USB on my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 (Model: b153cl) but unfortunately even after changing the boot order on bios to the USB device it's still not picking up the USB to clean install windwos 7.
Machine came with pre-installed windows 8, and I hate that.
Can someone help me figure out the issue here... cause i have used the same bootable USB (windows 7) on another machine and it worked without any issues.
Thanks
Mike

well.. i was just reading this thread, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HELP-download/m-p/4240018
and my problem has been solved...
thanks anyway for the prompt response..

Have you turned off secure boot in the BIOS and enabled legacy boot? If the machine originally came with Windows 8 secure boot is enabled by default and it will block booting from Windows 7 media.

Cannot boot from usb flash to install Windows 8 on Macbook Pro 13"

Hi! All
I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" and I want to install Windows 8 on it. I use bootable USB stick, which I can boot fine from on my PC, so I assume it's not the USB stick that is a problem. First of all Bootcamp didn't recognise it. Fine, I partitioned the laptop's hard drive myself. Then while rebooting I held the Option key to manually select the USB drive, but it did not appear on the list. As someone suggested on the internet I even replugged USB stick to another slot during while on that screen, but it didn't help too.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- MacBook Air.
- iMac (Late 2012).
You don't have any of these computers, so you can't install Windows through a USB disk. Its firmware doesn't allow you to start up from your Windows installation disk.
You have to buy Windows 8 on a DVD. You need a System Builder version, which you can buy at Amazon or NewEgg. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows on the MacBook Pro > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

HP pavilion g6 do not boot nothing from any media

Hi, I have this notebook (HP Pavilion g6-1010sc) and one day it do not boot nothing from any media.
I tried to boot linux, winxp, original win7-x64 from internal and external USB disks, but unfortunatelly.
Notebook restarts or freezes after i tried to boot OS. Start of booting OS is correct, in original win7 it asked to run system normally or launch system repair. After i choose normal startup, its normally starting and only one point of WIN7 loading logo is shown and after this freezes.
When I run win7 installation from USB HDD or launch system repair, windows loaded files correctly, but after this, system restarts and capslocks LED blink two or three times and notebook startup again.
I have on second USB HDD linux ubuntu, which work on every computer correctly, but on this computer it freezes after small time.
I tested Back Track5 from DVD and during boot notebook restarts after one minute too.
I have tried to remove original HDD and try boot other USB HDD/DVD too, but no change. I tried other memory modules, but no change too.
System diagnostics of RAM and HDD is correct and no problem found.
Original bios on this notebook was F6.A and I tried older version F53 and only one change is, that in booting is shown more piece of WIN7 boot logo, and again freezes.
I tried disable automatic restart after system failure, but notebook it does not react on this, when it want to restart or freeze, it does it
Sorry for my english

No, i do not think, that I have UEFI bios. After I pres ESC and after F2 or directly after turn on press F2, my diagnostic menu looks as this:
This diagnostic tool is stored on HDD, when I removed HDD, this tool can not to run.
(By the way, tests will be passed.)
And original system is WIN7x64 and on support page is only this system and cannot be selected other operating systems, e.g. WIN8, which fully supports UEFI.
This reply is no solution for me. I tested internal HDD in different computer and it is 100% correct, and RAM i tried to change with other 100% correct modules as I wrote on last post and no change.
This means, that RAM and HDD is correct. I want to know, whether is error in notebook's mainboard or bios or some different.
I think, I am not first with such problem, and I do not want know solution only, but I want also know reason.
Thanks for reply, but it is no solution for this problem, and is outside.

Will not boot up from DVD drive

HP pavilion slimline s3200n will recognize the DVD drive but it will not boot up from the drive

Hi,
Try hitting the escape button from boot up. It normally gives you the boot options where you can select the DVD drive.
If you can't get into the boot options, try getting into the bios with F10 and change boot order options.

Do you have a compatible OSX installed on this 'storage' HDD? If not, it will not boot your MBP.

IMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc

iMac 27 inch i7 OSX Lion will not boot up from Hard Disc on cold start, and cannot find wifi hardware in the machine. Restart and everything is fine. I have two machine and they behave the same. Software or hardware problem?

First of all, try a hard restart; making sure no disks are in the slot, unplug everything from your computer (keyboards, mice, etc.) and then unplug the computer itself. Leave it unplugged for a minute or two, then plug it back in and boot it up.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the option-key on your keyboard. The screen should show a choice of which disk drive to boot from. Choose your usual drive.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the shift-key on your keyboard. It should take a while for it to boot up, as it is destroying all connections to sources that may contain a virus.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down keys "option-command-P-R" until you hear the startup tone a second time.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the C-key. Make sure you have inserted the installation disk before doing this step.
If that fails, reboot it while holding down the command-key and the R-key.
If that fails, please reply to this and let me know.

     Q. What sizes of USB Flash sticks are supported?
     A. USB Flash sticks are supported in 64, 128, and 256 MB sizes. No other sizes are supported.
     Q. Can I use any USB memory stick for this application?
     A. No. Only Cisco USB memory sticks are supported.
Q. Can I boot an image directly from the USB Flash module?
A. Yes. USB drivers have been added to rommon, starting with version 12.4(13r)
     Q. Can I format the USB Flash module on the router?
A. Yes. You can format the module on either a router or a PC. You must specify "FAT16 file system" as the file system for the PC format process to use.
If your setup satisfies above conditions you can get the router to boot up with the IOS on the USB flash
If you are in ROMMON mode, use 'dev' to find out the name of the USB Flash (should be usbflash0).
set BOOT=usbflash0:
If you are in the router,
boot system flash usbflash0:

V3-5727105 will not boot up from HDD or from Recovery CD.

4 weeks ago when I switched on my laptop I got a blue screen message during start-up saying a problem had been encountered and it needed to restart to try to fix the problem, then just a dark grey screen and nothing.Laptop is only 7 months old. Contacted Tech Support and they stated I needed Recovery CDs and provided me with a set after I paid £60.Tried to boot from Recovery CD and got Acer Recovery Management to load, but after selecting restore to factory settings the laptop entered into a never ending cycle of 'analysing HDD' , attempting to fix HDD'.Left the laptop running for 12 hours and that was the only two messages I saw on the screen.No option to 'exit as problem encountered' so I had to power down my laptop to escape the 'loop'.Tech Support now wants me to try to format my HDD by taking my laptop to a local PC repair shop.Why am I being asked to do all the diagnosis work on a 7 month old PC? Surely it should be fixed under the manufacturers warranty?Could someone please explain what trying to format my HDD will show?Thanks

Update ..... My laptop would not boot up from the recovery disc as it turned out the hard drive required to be re-formatted to clear the fault. I was told by the PC Repair company that no matter what I tried I would not have been able to fix/clear the fault. Given it appears to have been a software corruption issue, after reading the Acer Warranty I have found out that I have to pay for the repair as the machine hardware remains in g.w.o. and the laptop is back in full working order once again. The PC Repair man did say however that if I had phoned him first instead of Acer Technical Support, I would not have needed to pay Acer for the set of Recovery discs as he would have provided a fresh installation of Win 8.1. at a fraction of the price! Lesson learned.

Cisco 3825 router boot ios from usb

I got a Cisco 3825 Router CF card failure, can I boot IOS from USB?
Physically I found 2 usb ports but nothing I can see in ROMMON mode, may I know how to boot from USB?

Hi Hugo,
The only time you can get an ISR G1 (except 870) to boot from USB is when you have upgraded the bootstrap to 12.4(13r)T15.
The command to boot from USB is a hidden command. From ROMmon the command is "boot usbflash0:IOS_filename.bin".

Can't Install Boot Camp from Snow Leopard DVD in Windows 7

I have an iMac "Core 2 Duo" 3.06 24-inc (08) running 10.6.2 and Windows 7.
I was able to successfully use the Boot Camp Assistant to partition and install Windows 7 on my iMac. After the installation, I was able to download updates from Windows Updates which included video drivers.
However, when I inserted my Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp 3.0, the Setup.exe only gave me two options: To Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing. I was not presented any options to install Boot Camp.
I did manually navigate the Snow Leopard DVD and found a Boot Camp directory with its own setup.exe and when I clicked on it, it gave me an Installation Error stating "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model". I did some research and I found no mention of my iMac listed as an unsupported model.
Any help would be appreciated.

When I inserted Snow Leopard DVD, the autorun didn't show me an option to install Boot Camp Drivers. Just like the author of this topic, it only showed me 2 options: to Install Mac OS X remotely and to install CD/DVD Sharing.
Then, I've run Windows Explorer, navigated to Snow Leopard DVD, opened Boot Camp folder and runned "setup.exe". The installer opened and Boot Camp 3.0 was installed successfully.
I don't know if it could help you guys with that error message, but after the installation of Windows 7 64bits, I've rebooted my Macbook Pro. Only after the reboot I did the Boot Camp Drivers installation.
You can also try to run the "setup.exe" as Administrator (right-click, Run as administrator).
Also, my Snow Leopard DVD is that grey one with the white "Mac OS X Install DVD" labelled on it.
