Iconia W700P - need to access bluetooth keyboard during UEFI boot or need to boot from USB stick

Solved one problem, now faced with two more: The W700P will now boot from an Acronis TI recovery DVD, but to select the restore function (then the specific backup to restore), it needs input from a keyboard. The Bluetooth keyboard that came with the W700P does not work during the boot sequence. I'd rather not go out and purchase a USB keyboard, but that may be the only option. Or - Can the W700P boot from a USB stick? I've read that it cannot, but in looking at the Acer store, that is all they offer as recovery media for the W700P. I made a bootable USB stick when I first bought the computer, but I cannot get it to boot. All I get is repeated Acer splash screens, perhaps as it tries the various options in the boot order. I've tried changing the order, have set a boot password and turned off secure boot, but I still have the same issue. Any ideas??

Hi Justin, Putting in the flash drive before powering on results in repeating splash screens. I've tried hitting the Win key on the tablet (there's no access at all to the bluetooth keyboard) after pushing the power button, but it loops on the splash screen. I've tried holding the Win key and power buttons until the splash screen appears, and that gets me to the BIOS. Once there, even if I plug in the flash drive, it doesn't read the USB HDD type/model name. Moving the USB HDD to the first position works, but on reboot, I still get a "no bootable device" error (without the flash drive), or the splash screen loop (with the flash drive inserted). The BIOS shows HDD 000 as present, and with a serial number, etc., but it is not recognized as bootable. Thanks for hanging in there with me.eric

  • NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

    NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
    I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets. 
    It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings... 
    When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles. 
    I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one. 
    I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder. 
    I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where. 
    I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS  10.7.3
    Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
    Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?  
    Thanks for your help

    Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release.  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
    Perhaps this answers question.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
    The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

  • Need to boot from USB device with my Portege 7020ct

    hi!
    i need help!!!
    situation: me and my girlfriend go for a long trip on tuesday. we have to work, so we bought a second hand portege 7020ct.
    it has no cd or floppy drive. win98 is installed but without drivers for the modem. the infra-red can locate other computers, but is not able to connect.
    so the onliest thing i have is one usb slot.
    i want to install win2000 or at least put some data on the hard drive.
    so i need to use my external cd drive or a usb stick. the problem is, the system (usb slot) found the external drive and the usb sticks, but i need to install some drivers to get them ready! but how???? --> no internet, no floppy, no internal cd, no infra red....
    what can i do????
    i tried to get into the bios to find out, if it is possible to boot from the usb slot, to perhaps get the external drive runnin and then install win2000.
    but i can´t find out how to enter the bios!!!! ...but i´m not sure if this will work.
    how can i get into the bios?
    do anybody has an idea what i can do? how can i get drivers into the system?
    how can i get the external drive runnin or the usb sticks`??
    please! i need very quick help, cause tomorrow is my last day...
    thanks to everybody in advance,
    deko

    Hi Deko,
    Pressing the <esc> button on power up takes you to the BIOS settings.
    Installing the drivers could be difficult. I have a 7010CT and there's no option to boot from USB (just floppy - hard disk - cdrom - lan). I don't think Windows98 supports USB sticks without extra drivers. I upgraded from Windows98 to Windows2000 by using an external PCMCIA cdrom and starting the installer from Windows98. Maybe you could try a PCMCIA network card of try to find a floppy disk for the Portege.

    hi Moh27,
        Thanks for Using Lenovo community Forums!
    Inside BIOS under boot tab you will find there UEFI Boot you will need to disable that
    then u need to move the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD to number 1.
    You can do that by highlighting the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD and pressing F5 or F6 to move it up
    -or-
    Highlight the things on top of the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD then put them down still using the F5 or F6 to move them down, do it one by one till the USB HDD is on top.
    Just make once you got the USB HDD: GENERIC USB HDD to 1 hit F10 to save and exit changes.
    Hope this helps,

  • Trying to boot from usb need help ASAP

    Hi everyone i have a compaq presario CQ 40-330 TU laptop. Its dvd drive has failed few month ago and as i did not use dvd drive much so i did not replaced it instead i made a bootable windows 7 repair usb with this following procedure http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-repair-windows-7​-from-usb-flash-drive-repair-without-installation-​... Today i need to boot my pc using the usb drive but to my surpise it failed to boot. So i need your help ASAP because my laptop is now unbootable and i need it fixed quick. What should i do?? When i entered the bios i found out this information Boot option CD- ROM boot < disabled > Floppy Boot < Enabled > Internal Network Adapter Boot < Disabled > Boot order USB floppy ! Internal CD/DVD ROM drive. Notebook Hard drive ! USB CD/DVD ROM drive USB Diskette on key / USB Hard drive ! Network adapter. Please help.....

    Hi. I think I have pretty similar problem on notebook HP Compaq NX6110  with crashed CD-ROM.
    I've prepared the bootable USB drive using this procedure (with a small modification because I want to intall Windows XP):
    http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSu​pport/... 
    Anyway, in bios setup I change the boot device options so that the "USB hard drive" is set as "the first" and USB Superdrive (slt) is set to the second... I save the settings etc. I restart the computer and in the blue boot menu that appears I can only choose Notebook harddrive and Optical drive (no USB).
    Any ideas? Is it possible that this notebook does not support USB booting thought there is an option is BIOS?

  • Can Startup Manager be Chosen with Bluetooth Keyboard on Cold Boot?

    The subject line pretty well sums it up. Can the user hold down the option key while booting a shutdown Mac and get the Startup Manager screen to come up when using Apple's wireless keyboard on a current model iMac? Does the wireless keyboard make "contact" with the iMac soon enough in the boot process to allow this choice to be made?
    Thanks,
    Steve M.

    Hey Steve,
    I am using the "old" white wireless keyboard with my macbook pro and os x sl and I can access the boot options (alt, c, t...) right after a cold start (for bootcamp, i.e.). Your imac should have build-in bluetooth, so I guess it should work. I only heard of problems when using third party products or the old bluetooth adapter from apple.
    The only thing that bugs me is after start up when the login sceen comes up, the connection seems to be lost... so I have to wait like 30 seconds for my keyborad to react (again?). I haven't found a solution for this so far.
    Good luck,
    Fabian

  • Laptop (ideapad z500 touch) crashes and refuses to boot, needing to be booted from USB

    Hi,
    Basically, my girlfriend's laptop has been acting up for a couple of months now. Every other week, it will just crap out and refuse to start up past the POST screen. When this first happened, I googled to see how I could get her back in and created a recovery disk using the tools provided in Windows 8. Using this, she managed to recover some key files before having to reset the PC (deleting everything but the Windows files).
    Since then, this problem has persisted despite several attempts to prevent it (using less of the hard disk, turning it off regularly and so on), and we were told at a laptop repair shop that it was most likely the hard disk. Upon hearing this, I ordered her a new Samsung hard drive (2.5 inch, 1tb, 5400rpm) to replace her existing one which seems to be dying/dead.
    I have two main questions, which are:
    Was the laptop repair guy correct in his assumption that it was the hard disk which was the issue?
    If we replace the old hard drive with the new one, can we retain the copy of windows and the various lenovo drivers and utilities it includes?
    Thanks for your help,
    A8

    Hi and thanks for the quick response.
    Is there any way to know better what the issue is? What else could it be that would make a laptop black-screen and refuse to boot unless Windows was reset?
    That's good news about the drivers and utilities. I'll check on those soon. As for the Windows, I understand that it would be difficult but surely there is some way it can be done? I googled and think OneKey Recovery might be something to look into. Any advice?
    One possibity is that the hdd needs to be repaired since you can still reset.
    The Windows provided by the manuafacturer can only be access/initialized through OKR. If OKR is not working properly you can't restore the drive to factory default.

  • New mac mini setup can't see Bluetooth keyboard

    Brand new mini and in setupmit can't see Bluetooth keyboard or trackpad. Any ideas on how to complete setup? Anyone else had this problem?

    After having the same issue on a new Mac Mini with 10.7, and pulling my hair out I found the following 'hack' to set up a wireless keyboard during initial setup.Please bear in mind that I had access to a USB mouse, but NOT a keyboard, so this should help if you want to pair a bluetooth keyboard during the initial setup process.
    In the setup process click next until you reach the account creation screen - you can't get past this one wiothout a keyboard.
    Right click on the empty "Full name" input field and select "Show spelling and grammar"
    Now you should see a window. Bottom left corner, click on the "Automatic by language"
    Select "Open text preferences" from the menu, toward the bottom
    At this stage you should see the top menu bar, with System Preferences running
    Click View from the top bar menu, then select Bluetooth
    Now you are able to pair your bluetooth keyboard in the usual way, clicking on "Setup new device"
    Hope this saves some time for people with the same issue.
    Apple please fix this, it is not a good first impression.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 15, Stop bluetooth device during file I/O on Bootcamp Windows7

    Hi.
    My Macbook pro Retina 15, Stop magic mouse & apple bluetooth keyboard during some file copy local folder or usb storege or nas on bootcamp windows7 pro 64bit.
    I called apple korea. but they don't have answers. also It base on bootcamp windows, they can't support me
    It only occure on my macbook pro retina on bootcamp. only bluetooth devices not own keyboard or touchpad.
    My iMac(2009late) does not problem.
    Yesterday I clean setup bootcamp again, It still problem.
    I just guess some bootcamp driver problem at ssd or bluethooth. Mac OS also OK.
    First time I got new ratina, no problem. nothing to chaged. just update collectly.
    Anybody help or same problem here?
    Thanks

    I should point out, this happens with/without peripherals attached.. ILOK dongle was disconnected at the time of crash. I will however check for updates..
    I have found somthing interesting tho - as it's out of warranty I downloaded a fan controller and forced the fans to full speed... The MacBook played video for hours, no problems. I believe this is a overheating issue because they fans just do to turn spin fast enough without being forced... Or it could be dust?
    I'm going to have Genius Bar clean it out if the will?.,.

  • Bluetooth Keyboard malfunction

    Some of the keys in the bluetooth keyboard are not function normally. The "delete" is used to be function as a backspace key. Now this key can only delete the character in front of the cursor and not function as backspace key anymore. Also the arrow key that move the cursor left and right, up and down is not working. The function go back to normal if I restart the computer or I reconnect it . However, it become malfunction again after a few minutes. I have change the battery but it is still the same.
    Please help

    Problem solved!
    I had problems losing the use of my Apple Bluetooth keyboard in combination with the D-Link DBT-120 dongle.
    I fixed it by going to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Advanced > and changed the default Bluetooth-PDA-Sync popup menu from "Modem" to the "RS-232" port.
    This fixed the loss of my Apple Bluetooth keyboard during reboots and it also fixed all of the Bluetooth error messages I was getting in the Console > System Log... as well as all of the Bluetooth error messages I was getting during SUM (i.e. Single User Mode... Command-S during startup).

  • HT1379 reset does not work with bluetooth keyboard

    although people write on the internet that bluetooth keyboard can initiate boot key-sequences, I cannot see it work...
    after updateing to Lion my volume setter is broken.

    Since you have a pre-unibody MBP, you can fairly easily change the keyboard yourself.  Check iFixit or Powerbookmedic and see if they have replacements available.
    Ciao.

  • Bluetooth Keyboard and Bootcamp question

    I am running Mountain Lion and Windows 7 in Bootcamp.  How do I switch over to the Windows side from Mountain Lion?  When I had the wired keyboard, all I had to do was hold down the option key when I restarted and then select Windows.  This does not happen with the wireless keyboard (i am using the wireless mac keyboard and am on a 27" iMac i7)
    To me, it seems like it looses the connection when re starting, but I am a novice, so I do not really know how to solve this.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Bluetooth keyboards give problems when you try to start from another volume because your iMac sometimes doesn't detect the keyboard.
    The way to start in Windows is the same as you did with the wired keyboard, but you have to hold the Option key just after the startup sound (you should see a green light on the keyboard, that means that it has connected to the Mac), until you see all the bootable volumes on the screen. Then, choose your Windows volume and Windows will start up
