Hi,
How did you prep your flash drive? If you're booting in legacy (not UEFI) mode, it should be NTFS (for Win 7 anyway, haven't tested Win 8) with the active flag set. If you're booting in UEFI mode it should be FAT32.

E9280t can't boot with USB 3.0 cards (multiple vendors tried) New e9280t BIOS version needed

Hello...
I purchased a new e9280t last year from the HP Website complete with 9 gb memory (now 16), Blu-ray/DVD writer & reader, Hauppauge Digital TV tuner, ATI Radeon 4850 Dual Monitor video card, etc... SInce then I've added more memory and a 3 port Firewire 400/800 card. Its running Win 7 Pro (sp1) and the BIOS is v5.29.
I purchased a external USB 3.0 WD drive (3 TB) and a StarTech USB 3.0 card (Amazon.com). After installing the USB 3.0 card, the system would power on for one second and die and then do it again a couple seconds later and the cycle continued until the power cord was pulled. I then pulled the USB 2.0 card and tried again only to have the same results. The only cards that remained in the system during the testing was the ATI card and the Hauppuage TV Card.
Thinking the problem was with the USB 3.0 card, I purchased another vendor's (Rocketfish from BestBuy) and installed it. The same problem as with the other USB 3.0 card, the system won't start.
No driver software or any other changes were made to the system before installation attempts (per vendor's installation instructions).
Since the failures all occur during the initial power up sequence and that the cards were tried with and without having power connected to them, that the problem is only correctable with a BIOS upgrade for the TRUCKEE motherboard. I could be wrong but I'm going on 30 years of hardware experience as my framework for that opinion.
If anyone else has this same problem, It would be good to rally around and see if HP notices us.
Thanks,
Norm

Greetings,
I have tried multiple vendors and have yet to find a USB 3 card that will allow the computer to boot (for more than a 1/10th of a second).
I've tried removing every card in the system except the the display card and no go. Two of the cards removed had power connectors to them and the third did not. So even after removing those cards along with disconnecting one of the two internal hard drives, I'm certain its not a power issue. As to what it might be, I don't know.
If anyone else has been able to get a USB 3 card to work in that system, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Norm

MSi Dragon Editon 2 problems booting with usb mice

Hi to all people. I have a problem with my laptop. If i update my BIOS with versions newer tan E1763IMS.50V the laptop doesn´t boot with usb mice connected. I think i answer this in the past but with not solution and now i ask again thinking some people have a solution now.I have checked with differents EC versions and BIOS E1763IMS.50V and with all versions works fine. If i update the BIOS E1763IMS.50V with other newer BIOS the problem appears. When the pc is started and Windows 8.1 is charged i can connect the mouse and works fine too. I have checked with various mices and with all the problem appears. The only BIOS that works fine is E1763IMS.50V.
Thanks a lot for your help

I borrowed a GT70, plugged my SteelSeries Rival optical mouse and flashed with the same 50V version to the laptop. It boots & works normally.
And then I flashed to 518 version. It still boots & works normally.
So maybe your problem is not on the mouse?
Did it boot up if unplugging the mouse?

After installing Win7, I created an 3a. partition and now I can't boot with Win7

After installing Win7 with success, I created an other data partition and now I can't boot with Win7 anymore. What can I do?
Thanks!

Thanks, hatter! But I´m new in the Mac World and that´s greek for me. I have no idea about what is BCDedit, GPT, EFI, etc... I went to your bookmarks and found many discursions there. I selected 5 that the subject looks useful for me (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3543804, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3477901,
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3360787, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3354587 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3199099) but, as a tipical windows user, a really new mac user and a non-american (I don´t speak English well), it´s impossible to me to understand all this.
Do you know any "how to" in this forum or i any other part of the Internet where explain step-by-step what a dummy needs to do to recover the acess to the Windows partition (my primary objective) and create an third partition (FAT32) for data acessible for both OS?
Thank you very much!

When i try to boot i freezes at the detecting usb devices when i have a usb device connected. It does with any usb device. But when i boot up without any usb devices connected then i boot fine and i can connect the devices right after the detection of usb devices. How can that be?

Googled on "computer not booting with usb code 6b38" and found this:
Quote
****SLOW BOOT-UP in POST SCREEN****
P.S. If you see the BIOS code 6B38 in the bottom right corner of the screen, this is a indication that USB Legancy support is enabled in the BIOS. If this is enabled and you have any usb devices attached such as a external USB Hard drive, your system will take ages to go through the POST boot screens.
So disable this setting in the BIOS and the system will then boot in a matter of Seconds
From:
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000250
Also try and see if a clear CMOS will help, some people suggested that from a old post from MSI forum here, saying its bios 1.3 thats bugged.
So if disabling doesnt work, perhaps down/upgrading BIOS might.

Neo 2 Platinum freezes while booting with USB HDD attached

This system freezes when a powered-on USB HDD is connected. I realize that the system is trying to boot off the USB device and have disabled all of the USB boot options in the BIOS. However, DISABLE USB HDD is not one of them! Is their any BIOS or other fix available for the problem?
Moe

After bios update , clear cmos with jumper onboard .
After that you must enter cmos setup and "Load optimized defaults" followed by save+exit
Sounds to me bios if looking for MBR on attached USB HDD ( didn't do this on my Neo2 with 1.C bios and external USB attached)
Set the normal boot order to
Floppy
Cdrom
HDD
Boot other devices :Disabled
(other boot order can mock things up)
Find "USB KB/Storage support" set to:Enable
Save+Exit
Boot with USB HDD attached and enter the submenu of "Harddisk boot priority" in cmos setup and all recognized HDD's
wether they are IDE/SATA/USB shall be listed , move your OS HDD witch host bootfiles/mbr to top with PGUP key and save+exit .

Can't boot with install disk

I ran out of disk space on the Mac HD and I only have 452 MB left. Before, I had 12 GB. I think trying to connect a router swallowed up the GB.
Anyway, because I ran out of disk space, I had trouble starting the Mac HD.
I can open Bootcamp (XP Professional) and have no problem there.
I attached the dvd drive to the MacBook Air and put the Snow Leopard Install disc inside and tried
1) Option start
2) Pressing C key start
3) Option command shift delete start but none of them work.
I cannot get it to boot with the Snow Leopard install disc.
What can I do?
I was planning to do a clean install but can't boot with the Snow Leopard install disc.
Can I do it from Bootcamp?

I booted with the Snow Leopard Install disk and checked Disk Utility and found that the HD disk was corrupted. This time it showed only 77MB free space even though I freed up 2 GB using 'rm' commands in single-user mode.
The problem was some kind of virus or something that not only ate up free space but corrupted the system.
I had to do a clean install (erasing the Mac HD volume and formatting it) to get the Mac HD operational again.

Hello,
Yes you can use a (large) thumb drive. The most common format for a Time Machine backup drive is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Can't boot uefi usb windows 7 install

I have a MSI A55M-P33 FM1 motherboard and a 3tb hard-drive
I used a linux live usb to change the partition to gpt and now I need to boot my windows 7 usb stick in uefi so that it can recognize the gpt partition..
the usb stick wont boot when selecting it from the uefi boot menu....I can boot the same stick from the regular bios and install windows...but I lose about 800gb because of mbr limitations...
Is there anything special i need to do to the stick to get it to boot with uefi?

I can boot from the usb in bios mode....but int that mode...windows defaults to mbr mode and doesnt recognize the gpt disk... it forces an mbr format which is limited to 2.2 tb on my 3tb drive.
I need to boot into uefi mode so windows can recognize the gpt disk so i can install.

HP Stream 7-Windows 10 doesn't boot, I can't recovery 8.1 because can't boot from USB-HELP please!!

Hi everybody, I'm new here!
I am (scuse me: WAS) enjoying a Stream 7
Some days ago I tried to install Windows 10 TP upgrading 8.1 with Bing. After some waiting time it succeeded, but unfortunately I forgave to put in the tablet's SSD the hp drivers, thinking they weren't necessary. So touchscreen, WiFi and all the other stuff didn't work. After I collegated via OTG a keyboard and a mouse I managed to use Windows 10.
Trying to install drivers, my fault, I opened an .exe of Realtek (maybe for the audio), tablet asked to reboot and after that I cannot access to Windows anymore.
I tried to boot Windows 8.1 from a USB, but it doesn't boot, the same even if i disable secure boot.
With disabled bitlocker Windows gives this error
In boot option I set these settings
I put the usb in this way:
The Stream doesn't consider the USB absolutely XD
If I enable again the secure boot Windows gives this error (that at 99% is caused by the .exe I installed):
Rebooting the Stream a couple of time with secure boot it goes in a menu (where touchscreen works) where there are a lot of options to reset Windows, but none of them works. If I try to format from this menu it asks for my account's password, but it doesn't accepts the mine :/
If I try to open the recovery (from volume minus button when it starts) it gives this message:
Waiting for help,
Thank you for your patience!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi everyone. I think I have found a solution to this problem. Short background story, I too tried to install Windows 10 (10049) via Windows Update but I was never successful - got stuck at around 30% for more than an hour. I tried to restore to 8.1 but it gave me that 0xc000000f error. Luckily I had made a recovery image to USB before updating to Windows 10.
Please note that by doing this method, you will obviously lose your data.
Here's what you'll need:
- Recovery USB (if you don't have one, grab it from this link and I thank you that person from another post). Follow the instructions, this is just basically clean, format to FAT32, set primary and active, and then drag and drop the files and folders from the USB folder to the root USB drive. This particular recovery is from a 5701 model, there is actually no difference between Stream 7 models in terms of hardware, but software is configured differently (different language setup/format) depending on the country/region it's sold.
- OTG cable
- Powered USB hub
- USB Mouse and Keyboard
- A moment of your time
1. Plug in the OTG cable to the tablet, and then plug in the USB hub to power and to the OTG. After that, plug in the USB mouse and keyboard and Recovery USB to the USB hub.
2. Boot the tablet to BIOS by holding down Power + Volume Down at the same time, until you reach the Startup Menu.
3. Press F10 and navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options. In this menu, we'll have to restore the settings to default.
So if you have disabled Secure Boot, you first need to Clear All Secure Boot Keys and then Load HP Factory Default Keys. Then enable Secure Boot.
Make sure UEFI Boot Order is also default to as follows: OS boot Manager, USB Diskette, USB CD/DVD, Network Adapter.
If you did not make any changes, proceed to 4.
4. Be prepared to go back to the Startup Menu, because as soon as you press F10 and hit Yes, the tablet will automatically restart. So press and hold the Volume Down button after you hit on Yes.
5. Press F9 and select Boot From EFI File. If you've done the recovery image ghosting correctly onto the Recovery USB, you should see two entries. One should be RECOVERY and the other may depend (it could be SYSTEM or No label). Select RECOVERY, and then select bootmgr.efi.
At this point the tablet will boot off from the USB and will bring you to Windows Recovery.
6. Select your keyboard layout, and navigate to Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.
If the drive partition/boot manager is not damaged, it will ask for a recovery key. You can actually skip this step and hide the numpad, revealing the option Skip this drive if you don't have the recovery key anymore, or just really want to start anew.
If the drive partition/boot manager is damaged, the Reset will proceed and will ask you to select a target operating system. In my case it was Windows 8.1.
7. The next screen will be about Reset your PC telling you what's going to happen. Tap Yes > Yes, repartition the drives > Fully clean the drive > Reset.
The tablet will now do its thing and restore to factory default.
After restoration, a BIOS screen will come up asking if you want to clear the TPM keys. Select Yes, and this will create a new key for the restored installation, bringing you back to a fully factory default tablet.
Notes:
I recommend not installing a generic Windows 8.1 ISO that is copied straight to the USB drive using the Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool or RUFUS. They won't be compressed or the same as WIMBOOT, which will take up more storage space than stock recovery.
You could actually install another version of Windows 8.1 on the tablet, assuming you know what you are doing (ie. making a WIMBOOT image).
You could also actually install Windows Technical Preview directly, again, assuming you know what you are doing.
This is just a guide to help you try recover your tablet from a failed Technical Preview installation. I hold no responsiblities over your actions.
What I recommend is that use 8.1 for now, and wait for the official release (or at least a more stable Technical Preview release for this tablet if you can't wait that long) of Windows 10.

I can't create a USB booteable Windows in Boot Camp Mavericks that actually boots

Hi everyone... I have an issue that is apparently very common and yet I haven't found a working solution... I'm trying to install windows 7 using boot camp on my iMac 8,1 it is running Mavericks... I've got as far as creating the windows USB but after boot camp attempts to restart the computer I get that "no bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" message. My DVD unit is not working so I decided to try with the USB option but I'm stuck... I've tried using different (very different) pen drives (brand and sizes) but I always get this. I have also tried holding the alt/option key when I turn the computer on but it does never shows the USB, I've tried with different .iso files 32 and 64 bits, original and "questionable"... I hope you guys have a working solution for this. Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

Windows will not boot from USB if the Mac has an internal optical drive. This is something that Microsoft implemented.

Windows Won't Boot With USB Drives Attached

I just installed Windows 7 on my Mac mini but it won't boot into Windows automatically if there are USB drives attached. I have to hold down the option key at boot time and select the Windows partition manually for it to boot, unless I remove the USB drives first, then it will boot into Windows on its own. Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem?

Sounds like your mini is set to boot order: boot from USB first.
On a PC you could go into BIOS and change boot order and enable/disable USB booting.
Not sure why or what is on the USB bus, type of drive and device that could also make a difference (and not be universal to the Mini)

Imac 21" mid 2011 can not boot from USB device?

Hi,
hope someone can help me.
Bought the new imac 21" and replaced the superdrive with a ssd drive.
Works great but it seems that the imac is not able to boot from any usb device.
I put my osx install disk in my external dvd drive and powered my mac.
While booting up (pressing cmd) the mac does not recognize my external dvd drive. This works great with my MBP late 2008. But the imac can not boot from the dvd drive. Also pressing "c" while booting does not work. Doing that a grey screen appears and after some time mac boots from hdd.
So i installed mac os via target mode over firewire withbmy old imac. This works.
But now i want to install windows on a bootcamp partition.
I can't boot from the windows 7 professional dvd, too. So i tried to create a bootable win 7 thumbdrive. Mac can't boot from this too. Reading many threads in some forum i tried with rEEfit. Reefit shows the usb thumbdrive whike booting, but using this will end in a black screen error from bios: "no bootable device....". Tried a knoppix on the usb thukbdrive, too.... No bootable device....
It seems that there is no way to boot from ANY external usb device like dvd drives or thumbdrives......
What more can i do? I tried for 2 evenings now, but nothing worked out for me......
Currently i don't see any any to install win 7 without an internal superdrive, but can this be??
Thanks for any comments.
Kwicks

Internal is definitely the easiest but you can boot from external HD or external optical drive, the mac is just very picky on what works and what doesn't.
For an external drive or usb stick it has to be GUID partition table and have 10.4.5 or better installed on it, for more info check this link out ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1948 )
Hope this helps,

U410 - Can't boot with Win 8.1 OR Ubuntu

Hi-
I have been trying to fix a dual-boot issue with Win 8.1 and Ubuntu, and I've totally screwed up my boot record. I was advised to look at the instructions below, and it might help me straighten out my boot situation. After following these directions, I can no longer boot into anything now.
Here's what I did:
This also may be part of the issue as Windows and UEFI copy between themselves.
Remove Duplicate Firmware Objects in BCD and NVRAM
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...=ws.10%29.aspx
I followed the directions outlined above, and now I can't do anything. When I start it up, it boots into Windows Boot Manager with a single entry for Ubuntu. When I selected that, it gives me the usual warning that it can't find the .efi file or .mbr file. The (really) bad part is that I can't get to the UEFI Firmware Setup (i.e., the old BIOS menu), so I can't boot from a USB - I'm stuck. When I boot it up, it does flash for a split second, almost like it goes to another screen (the UEFI menu?), but then goes into the Win Boot Mgr.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get into the UEFI firmware settings? I've tried to hit F12 (and every other F* combination) during boot, but it still just flashes for a second, and then goes into Windows Boot Manager. If I could get to the UEFI settings, I could boot from USB into a Windows rescue/rapair USB device, but I can't get to it at a moment, so I'm in limbo.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be muchg appreciated, as I'm stuck and can't do anything.
Thanks,
Nipper

Hi,
I don't even see a loss rates in the pathping result you provided before. and it shows "Computing statistics for
0 seconds", this is really strange, have you pasted the full pathping result here? Or as I mentioned before, you can try to pathping your own ip as a test. What is the result if we use other tool, simple like ping to Google website? Make sure
to install latest driver for network adapter, reset router, get latest firmware for router.
