K9n6sgm-v, no option to boot from cd/hdd

Hi guys, firstly my specs are :
M/b : K9N6SGM-V MSI
Chip : AMD dualcore 5000+ thingy.
Ram : 2 gig chip
on board everything else.
HD : IDE WD 320gig
DVD : Liteon dvd/burner
psu - 350watt
 i'm having a devil of a time with this motherboard i purchased yesterday from my local pc store.
It's all setup, i have my jumpers set correctly so the IDE hdd is coming up as primary, and my dvd as secondary.
BUT
It'll post, come up perfect, i can drop a cd into the drive, and it'll boot straight off the cd itself.
but it won't come up with the little option to boot off cd, or if you don't press anything it usually goes to the hdd.. but it won't for me. I've tried both with an ide, and a sata 500gig seagate barracuda. and if i don't leave a cd in the drive, it just keeps on rebooting itself time after time, until i turn it off or put a cd back in..
I am desperate to get it going, wife going crazy i keep stealing her laptop atm hehe
Thank guys,
Pete

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • I have never set a firmware password on my macbook pro, but when I hold down option to boot from a different drive, I get a lock, and have no idea what the password is..?

    I have never set a firmware password on mymacbook pro, but when I hold down option to boot from a different drive, I geta lock, and have no idea what the password is, i am the first owner of my mac so its impossible that someone else has set the password, i have only noticed this becuae i made a bootcamp partition and installed windows onto the machine, after the installation... i shut down the comptuer and continued to use os x, days later i tried to boot into the boot camp partition again by holding down the option key on boot, but i got a window asking me for a firmware password that i have no idea of! please help me!
    will

    Hi macbookprowilliam, I have the SAME problem, that grey lock just appeared trolling me. I dunno the password and I wan't to sell this macbook! I need the password. Maybe it's a new malware! I don't even know how to set a firmware password and I am the only user on this computer too! I have a thread about that too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3926399?start=0&tstart=0
    So, did you fix it or got around it? Please reply! I am desperate.

  • Installed HP UEFI Support Environment, now no option to boot from CD/DVD when pressing F9 on bootup

    I have an HP ENVY TouchSmart 17-j153cl 17.3" Touchscreen Notebook
    Product Name: HP Envy TS 17 Notebook PC
    Product Number: F9M09UAR ABA
    Operating System: Windows 8.1
    I stupidly installed...
    HP UEFI Support Environment - sp63599
    ...withou knowing what it does.
    Now when I hit F9 to change boot order on bootup, I no longer have the option to boot from CD/DVD. The only two options available are to boot from OS boot manager or boot from efi file.
    How can I uninstall sp63599 so I can boot from CD/DVD again?
    If I select Legacy Boot in the BIOS it says I will not be able to start my operating system.
    If all this means is that I will have to reinstall Windows from CD/DVD, then I can live with that.
    What should I do to get the option of booting from CD/DVD back?

    I figured it out.
    EUFI only displays the CD/DVD boot option if you have an EUFI-bootable disk in the drive.
    When there is no disk or a Linux boot disk in the drive the CD/DVD boot option does not show up.
    When there is a WIndows 8.1 installation disk in the drive, the CD/DVD boot option shows up.
    In the old-style BIOS the CD/DVD drive showed up whether there was a bootable disk in it or not.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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?

  • Error "Can't find boot device by boot options" when boot from ISO via AMT

    Hello.
    When I try to boot from ISO CD via AMT I got an error message:
    "Can't find boot device by boot options"
    Settings are similar to what I made in HP 8100, 8200 etc - SOL/IDER/KVM, network access enabled
    Where could be a problem?
    Prod. name: HP Compaq Elite 8300 Microtower PC
    Prod. number: B0F41EA

    Just wanted to follow up with this as I got a response from HP. It looks like it is at least the 2.9 BIOS version that has this issue. I know that at least the 2.51 BIOS version is unaffected. 

  • Prevent F9 boot device options or boot from USB HP 250 G3

    Is there anyway to prevent users from booting from USB on these laptops, either be locking down the boot menu or disabling the boot option for USB. These are laptops to be used in a college and we need them to only be bootable on the HDD. Many thanks, Simon

    Ok,
    by enabling the lagacy bios support all worked.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Portege T230 has no option to boot from USB portable CD room?

    Hi,
    In the bios boot menu, I can't find anything related to external CD room. From the list, I have only 3 things.
    HDD/SDD
    FDD
    LAN
    How I suppose to boot from the external DVD room that came with the laptop?
    The part-no of the model is PST4EL-00t00G. I have checked the latest BIOS for this model but it seems there is no update of this BIOS.

    Hi
    >Unfortunately, I don't have the user manual with me now
    Toshiba notebook manuals can be downloaded here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_manuals.jsp
    However, the BIOS supports the booting from following devices:
    USB FDD,
    Primary HDD/SSD,
    USB ODD,
    Network (LAN),
    e-SATA supported at the same time
    Usually the USB drive (ODD) needs to be connected before trying to boot from this device.
    The notebook should be ON now connect the USB ODD. Windows should recognize and connected USB device Now power OFF the T230.
    After that power ON the T230holding F12 button then release the F12 and wait until Boot menu would appear using the up and down arrow buttons you could select the USB option

  • Installed, Win 7 Won't Boot from Second HDD

    Hi ya'll,
    I've successfully installed Win7 64 Pro on a second internal HD on my fall '12 MBP (X.8.3), located in the optical bay. After having re-attached the first drive, Win7 shows up in the boot selection menu, but when selected, does not boot (error: "please insert boot disk and press any key").
    My install process was as follows:
    Format second drive into two partitions [OS Extended, FAT32] using disk utility, making sure that the second partition is provided a master boot record.
    Disconnect primary drive (SSD), so that the second hdd is recognized as bootable from the Win7 installer.
    Boot from prepared bootcamp thumbdrive using a fresh ISO.
    Use windows installer to format FAT32 partition as NTFS.
    Install windows
    Install drivers
    Update Win 7 and bootcamp drivers
    Power off
    Recconnect primary drive (SSD)
    Power on
    Win 7 shows in boot menu. Instead of working, dead-ends at "no bootable device".
    Can still boot from SSD or thumbdrive, but not Win7 partition
    Arggggh!
    Is there a setting related to the HD controller that needs to be tweaked to make this work? Is there a known issue with the controller firmware? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    *Take an iMac and Windows 7 Blue screen fun*
    the final part of the Win 7 install and Mr Blue screen due to the Nividia driver supplied on Win 7 DVD kills iMac GT7300
    1. Install... and Blue screen!
    2.Re-boot but from the Win 7 install disk – seems to work if you hold alt on boot up and select the disk to boot from!
    3.When you get into the Windows installer, click past the language selection. Then click "Repair your computer".
    4.Windows will scan for installations and prompt you with a list. Select your "C" drive and click Next.
    5.You should be presented with a windows titled *System Recovery Options*.
    At the bottom of this list you should see +Command Prompt+.
    Select the command prompt.
    6.When the console opens, you can delete the offending driver using the following command:
    DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\NVLDDMKM.SYS
    7.Close the command prompt window and click the Restart button.
    This time, boot from your hard disk.
    You will complete the install with no Blue screen.
    Having done this go to the Nivida web site and download the GT 7 series drivers for Windows 7.
    Install, re-boot and ...
    +*... install Bootcamp drivers and right off your back to Blue Screen...*+
    Repeat 1-7 and install newly downloaded drivers and off you go

  • Portege R100 won't boot from the HDD - missing operating system

    Hello,
    I have a Portege R100 that won't boot from the HD, I get the message "missing operating system".
    I don't have a compatible CD or floppy driver, I just have a 1.8 inch case for the hd, it works, i also have norton ghost 2003 installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).
    I tried to recover the disk using norton and the ghost image in the recovery cds but it keep asking for a password.
    I would like to know if there is a way to use the recovery cds with norton and the usb driver and avoid the password screen (or where can I get the password?).
    Thanks!

    Yes, I know that the recovery cds are password protected, that's the password I'm talking about.
    I'm not trying to boot from a USB stick, I'm using ghost 2003, this way when I reboot the USB device is recognized as a second hard drive.
    I have the option to use the cds to recover from the ghost enviroment but I would need the gho password.
    What I would like to know is if there is a command line to force the cd to ghost the second driver instead of the first.
    I'm not a great fan of norton ghost but I don't have another option, all cd drivers that I have are incompatible with Portege R100.
    Thanks,
