Satellite 2400-103 does not show BIOS or Boot Menu

I want to rescue this beauty I found but I have one problem: after entering Bios Password Windows XP starts immediately, no POST no nothing.
I have tried the method that theoretically works: "Esc" key while Toshibe logo shows up and then "F1" when prompted, by laptots restarts when I hit F1. Also I cannot get to start from CD. I've read that you can boot from cd while you press "C" but it doesn't work. Can it be a CMOS problem?
Someone can help me? Tx and sorry for my bad english.

Main problem is that original owner only remembers Laptop password, not Windows password, and I cannot do anything without booting from other devices. Also the original recovery disks are long gone.
I've tried every key (F2, del, ins, F12, c, 0..), every method i've read but I get no results, just a "beep" when I hit Esc and the "Check System. Then press F1 key" message.
I'll try to get the Windows password so I can use de Password utility. Thanks for the help.

W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
Thanks,
CS

Hello Neil
Thanks for getting back to me
The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the Startup menu.
To enable
1. Enter bios
2. Select boot
3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
5. Save and exit.
You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
Cheers

TS3276 the images (attachments) are automatically resized (smaller) when I send them to a customer. My email screen does not show a drop down menu box where you can leave as actual size. Is there a setting elsewhere that can be set.

Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem. I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
Thanks

What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0. Spellchecker is included and I have downloaded English Dictionary as Addon. It does not work on website. Spellchecker does not show up in Context Menu. I have tried every other source. Can you help please?

I understand that Spellchecker is pre-installed but I cannot verify this is the case with v.4.0 Firefox. I have right-clicked on webpages and it does not say Dictionary is missing, so I assume the problem remains with Spellchecker. I expected to find Spellchecker and Languages under Edit in nav bar but it does not show up, What must I do? Richard

That should work on a Mac as well.
You did download and install the French version?
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

Pages endnote plug in is installed but does not show up on insert menu

I am running Imac 2009 w/ Mountain Lion and Pages 09 4.3 (1048)
I downloaded and installed the endnote X2 plugin (Pages_EndNote_Plug-in.pkg), The installer indicated the plug-in was installed successfuly.
However, it does not show up in/on the Pages Insert Menu as expected.
Also, my Apple wireless mouse stopped scrolling.
Any ideas?

Yes, but I was told it also came with iwork disk for 9.0.5. I thought I would try the download since my iwork version on disk is 9.0.1. So, no plug in on the disk.
Trying the plug in I guess was a bad idea. But the EndNote program is @$250.00. Too much for my limited use.
I did not fint a "Pages" plug-in in the App store or on the EndNOte web site.
Thank you for your help.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

OS X Mavericks not showing up in boot menu?

Hi,
I recently applied to the OS X Yosemite Beta program and downloaded and installed the Beta. I have a 1TB Hard drive in my MacBook Pro which is was partitioned in two partitions, one for OS X Mavericks and one for Bootcamp. I decided I wanted to keep my original partitions intact so I installed the Yosemite beta onto an external hard drive so I wouldn't affect my main system. The Yosemite Beta installed and booted fine from the external hard drive but when I rebooted my computer I was presented with option to boot into my Bootcamp partition or an OS X Yosemite Installer. I can boot into Windows fine but not OS X Mavericks. The OS X Mavericks partition is still intact but does not show up during start up. I tried using a third-party bootloader like rEFIt but doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is an image showing my boot menu, the items in orange are my external hard drive with the Yosemite Beta on it.

Thanks for the reply, I managed to solve my problem by forcibly unmounting the install partition and booting into Bootcamp (My only option). From there I selected my OS X Mavericks partition from the Bootcamp menu in Windows and I rebooted successfully into it. For some reason it still wont show up in the boot menu but rEFIt now works and will detect it along with the Bootcamp partition

Optical Drives Not Showing Up in Boot Menu / HDD

why doesn't my dvd rom drive show up in boot menu in my HP ENVY DV7-7250US with window 8 and how do i fix the problem could it be the dvd drive gone bad / i ordered recovory disk from hp i am wondering if i ccan i use the recovery disk on a brand new HDD ??

Hi:
In order to boot from a DVD, you need to change some BIOS settings.
Please read this info for what BIOS settings to change so you can boot from a DVD:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03736054&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
You should be able to use the disks on a new HDD as long as the storage size of the new HDD is at least as large as the one you replaced.

Luactivate 'succeeds' but then new BE does not show up in GRUB menu

Hi,
I'm trying to do a live upgrade from S10 u6 to u7.
The machine is a Sun v20z (which is an x64 box).

What happens when you create a new BE using the current BE without any changes (just making a bootable copy of the current BE)? What is the results of cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst? If you do a lufslist bootenvname, do all of the indicated filesystems actually exist?

I would like to create a new page that does not show up in my "menu" .

I would like to set up a new page on my website for a specific one-time use.
I don't want the page to show up in my menu at the top.
The new "hidden" page will have specific files that already exist on other pages but re-arranged for a specific client.
Is there a way to do this so that I can just send someone a link to the new hidden page?
Thanks

Open iWeb and then create the page you want to hide. Open the Inspector and then click on Page and then click on 'do not include page in nav bar'. It is as simple as.

The time machine Icon does not does not show up in my menu bar

The time machine icon does not appear in my menu bar. The desk top icon for the external hard drive is green. I've checked preferances and the time machine is turned on and the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu. I've turned off the time machine and rebooted and then turned it on and rebooted again. Nothing seems to work. I'm running Mavericks and I have an Intel I5 processor.

the box is checked that has the icon appear in my menu
Uncheck it and check it again. Any change? If not, see below.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Windows 7 boot key not showing up in boot menu.

I have installed the Windows 7 ISO to a flash drive to use on boot up, using the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5488789?tstart=0
I have a Late 2009 iMac and the optical drive is broken; that's why I had to use those instructions and intend to use a boot key. However, when I boot up with the option key, the only options presented are Macintosh HD and Recovery HD. No Windows boot or EFI boot to be found. Does anyone know why this might be? I have gone through the partitioning process in Boot Camp Assistant. I really don't know why it's not showing up. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Screenshot provided for reference.

Christopher,
I can't think offhand of why it would not come back like this (but if you have configured ZPM to use content-repo to store its bundles I would recommend getting http://download.novell.com/Download?...d=f0VuQBxq8DI~ as that fixes problems where a patch isn't cached, even though it thinks it is). Does the patch status tab show any errors? Otherwise we're basically going to need to look at logs...

C200 M2 LFF does not see disks in boot menu after ESXi installation

So in front of me I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and an LSI Megaraid 9260-4i controller and 4 1-TB SAS disks. I've put the disks in a RAID 5 array I've created a 10 GB virtual disk and successfully installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a datastore.
However, I can't get the thing to boot. It's not even an option. The only storage option in the boot menu is the DVD drive. If I look at the mass stroage controller configuration, in fact, SATA ports 0 through 4 are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD drive.
I've tried fiddling with the BIOS settings without any luck.Currently the onboard controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set to enhanced (which seems to be the default and what is recommended with the Megaraid cards). This was a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 per the packing slip, which seems to be a disti-only part number), so I didn't have to assemble anything and I would assume all the cables were connected in the factory. I've opened up the server, and as far as I can tell all the cables look connected.
Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's fine, but considering that I can actually install the operating system it has to be something stupid I'm missing.

Thanks. I had actually tried that with the boot mode set at UEFI and it didn't work, but I gave it another try set at legacy and it works fine.
The documentation for this seems confusing to me, though. Isn't this RAID card considered a mezzanine card? The documentation here says to enable the onboard controller to get a mezzanine card to work:

But in every place I can get the little toolbar menu, it only shows the Bookmarks bar, not the the Menu bar
How can I get my menu bar back???

# Press''' Alt '''or '''F10''' t o see '''Menu bar'''
# Click on '''View '''>> '''Toolbar''' and mark '''Menu bar'''
*Or right click in empty space on navigation bar and mark '''Menu bar'''.
*Or go to '''Customize tab''' at bottom click on '''Show/Hide Toolbar''' button and mark '''Menu bar'''
Also have sure you aren't in '''Full Screen''' Mode, you can alternate using '''F11 '''or going to''' View''' menu and unmark '''Full Screen''' option.
