T43 bios problem when trying to update OS

I need help fast please.  I know this probably isn't the smartest thing ever but my T43 is currently running XP Pro and I am trying to upgrade to Windows 8.1  I have checked everywhere and it all says that the computer will handle running it. However, I have been told that i need to change my BIOS settings to allow for it to run from the dvd drive instead of the hard drive. 
How do I do this?
Please, please help!!
Thanks.

Hello,
Do you know what the machine type model number is of the ThinkPad T43?  It should be on a label on the bottom of the ThinkPad and look something like 1234-ABC.

    If you're trying to update your Droid Incredible from Android 2.2 to 2.3.4, but it's failing due to a low space error, then check out the following solution that worked for me and for many others:

    I'm happy to say that my update went generally smoothly, without any noticeable problems so far.
    Perhaps this could be a sticky, so that people don't continue to start new threads about this problem?

    Hello johnsold,
    Thank you for replying. Enclosed is a picture where can be seen the motor address. This case is for motor 1, for motor 2 would be number 2 and 3 for motor 3. It works if I run the programs one by one. Anyway I enclose the generic example without any manipulation by myself.
    Thanks again.

  • Problem when trying to update my iPod touch 3g

    So I was trying to update my iTouch 3g to iso 5 by using iTunes 10.5 and it haven't been working. then later I re-installed my iTunes and it is already the latest version but I still can't update my iTouch 3g to anything newer than 4.2.1. It didn't have any error code, it just simply say "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version" and nothing happened after all.

    It appears that you really have a 2G iPod.  Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 8 or 16 GB iPod it is rally a 2G iPod.  A 32 GB one can be either. To identify yours see:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    Identifying iPod models
    Apple on made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods.

  • Problems when trying to update my iPod.

    I bought the software update 2.0 for ipod touch and downloaded it but when i try to install it, iTunes just closes.
    The error i get is: "tunes has found an error and needs to be closed."
    There is no option to keep itunes running.
    Someone please help me.

    I've got the same problem on a new Core Solo Mini. I got this thing because I've heard great things about MacOS, and I really like it, but there are like 4 or 5 huge bugs that are hurting my enjoyment of this little machine.
    Does Apple choose to fix major bugs sooner or later?

  • I keep receiving this error: "the application cannot be installed due to a certificate problem" when trying to update program that use adobe AIR (vudu-to-go)

    Can anyone tell me how I can get around this error? I've tried reinstalling adobe air and reinstalling the programs but neither works.

    This issue happens when an older version of Adobe Story is already installed on a system.
    To resolve this issue you will have to first remove that version and then install the latest one.
    Now depending upon which system you are using, below are the steps:
    MAC:
    Open 'Applications' folder in Finder.
    Move 'Adobe Story' application to Trash and remove it from Trash too.
    Just to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive, do a search for 'Adobe Story' in spotlight. If it is present on a different location, then remove it from there too.
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it.
    WINDOWS:
    Open Controls Panel and uninstall Adobe Story application
    Now log into story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it

  • Installation problems when trying to update from 7.7.4 to release 7.7.5.

    I had installation problems trying to go from Qtime level 7.7.4 to new version 7.7.5    I get an error message after the download and on the reinstall.  It basically tells me to download and install manually.  Tried this (even running as administrator and get another error message basically telling me the same thing to download and install manually.  Anyone have the same thing happen and if so how did you get it fixed?

    I'm having a similar problem. I get a message stating that "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". It allows me to enter an alternate path a folder containing the installation package (Quick Time.msi). No matter which msi I point it to, I get the same message. I have to cancel out of the installation. I'm trying to get current so I can purchase Quick Time Pro. Anyone know what "feature" it's looking for?

  • Problem when trying to update Nokia Maps 2.0

    Hello, I have installed Nokia Maps 2.0, however, the Nokia Store informs me that there is an update to the Maps application. After installing the update the application remains the same and the Nokia Store returns to inform me that there is an update.
    Basically: installs, but not installed.
    Some technical details:
    Nokia Maps 3.09 (8)
    Store Nokia Beta 3.24 (53)
    The 'Check in' has disappeared from the menu and the Widget Gallery
    In the list of installed applications, do not see any application of Nokia Maps
    All applications work correctly, unless the update
    The memory on the phone is 96 MB
    Please look at the pictures to understand more.

    check your purchase history, see if there has been a problem with a previous purchase, if so, you might have to temporarilyuse another gift card or use itunes gift cards

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
