Win 7 pro installed on hp touchsmart 320-1030, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. Assist

I have installed Win 7 professional on hp touchsmart 320-1030 with an OEM DVD to overwrite Win 7 premium  preinstalled from factory.
I want to reboot the machine with the same DVD after completing the installation, to test for possibility of reimage in case of crash. Although in bios, I specify cd\dvd as firts boot media,  the machine cannot boot from installation DVD.  I have 20 machines that behave this way. Can anyone assist?
Note: I had to delete all partitions on the PC before doing a fresh installation of Win 7 pro as Premium can not joing domain.

Hello,
So, you installed Window 7 Pro with a DVD, you boot with it to install the O.S, and now it does not work?
Have you tried to load the BIOS default values or even updating the BIOS?
If it had work before, cant understand why it does not work now...
Let me know.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

  • 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.

  • Pavilion TouchSmart PC 20-f323, how to boot from a DVD?

    My client has a HP Pavilion 20-f323 TouchSmart PC with Windows 8 on it and wants to downgrade and install Windows 7 Pro instead. 
    However, my first question here is, how do I boot to my Windows 7 Pro DVD on the TouchSmart PC?  I cannot even find a boot menu option to boot from the DVD player.
    Any other URLs pointing to this downgrade process would be appreciated!
    Thank you very much for your time.

    ****Disclaimer*****
    HP doesn't recommend the installation of Windows 7 on a computer shipped with Windows 8, nor will it support the installation of Windows 7. HP will not provide Windows 7 drivers and suitable drivers may not be available for the hardware in the computer. Also, Windows 7 may not support some of the hardware or software features designed for the computer.
    Make sure you create your HP Recovery Discs or USB Flash Recovery media before modifying or changing ANYTHING.
    You will need to purchase a new copy of Windows 7 with a valid COA and product key.
    The screen shots below are from an HP 15t-j100 notepad computer... the options and configuration screens on your computer may differ.
    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "BIOS Secure Boot configuration" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, before you can attempt to install Windows 7;
    After saving the changes, the computer will request that you confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and pressing the "ENTER" key.
    If are you are installing from a USB stick and see a "Load Driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing" message, this is because "System Configuration" > "USB3.0 Config in Pre-Boot" is set to "Enabled". This must be set to "Auto". This should clear up the CD/DVD device missing.
    Additionally, as the hard drive is most likely partitioned as GPT, you must boot using the UEFI-Internal CD/DVD or UEFI-USB Key/Drive to install Windows on a GPT partitioned disk. Turn on or reboot the computer and tap "F9" or "ESC" and then "F9" when prompted. Highlight the UEFI boot source you are using and press "ENTER".
    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best intallation experience. If you need Windows SP1, please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" to download and create your own Windows 7 SP1 disc. If the DVD refuses to boot as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (may require DISABLING "Fast Boot" in the BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid UEFI enabled USB Flash drive if it is formated as NTFS and may require a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, as it has options for "GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer" and "FAT32".
    From the top...
    1)  Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
    2)  When the MENU comes up, press the "F10" key.
    3)  Navigate the BIOS to "System Configuration", "USB 3.0 Config in Pre-OS" and set to "Auto".
    4)  Navigate the BIOS to  "System Configuration", "Boot Options" and set "Secure Boot" to "Disabled" and set "Legacy Support" to "Enabled".
    5)  Press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes"
    6)  Computer should restart and display "Operating System Boot Mode Change"... type the four digit code and press "ENTER".
    7)  Let Windows 8 boot-up and place the Windows 7 SP1media in the DVD drive or USB port, then log-off / shutdown.
    8)  Turn on the computer and immediately start tapping the "ESC" key.
    9)  When the MENU comes up, press the "F9" key and then select the correct UEFI boot source (Internal CD/DVD drive, USB CD/DVD drive, USB Flash drive, etc.)... Press any key to boot CD/DVD, if prompted.
    10)  Select "Language", "Time / Currency", and "Keyboard" settings and then click "Next"
    11)  Click "Install Now"... check "Accept Terms" and click "Next". Click "Custom (Advanced)". 
    12)  You may need to supply AMD SATA/RAID drivers at this time... Download AMD Chipset Drivers (Chipset / AHCI / USB 3.0)
    13)  "Where do you want to install Windows 7???" Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated Space" you created earlier and click "Next".
    14)  Follow all prompts and answer as needed. Enter Windows 7 key when requested.
    Please post the Windows Device Manager's "Hardware Ids" (just the text) for all remaining missing or unknown devices as shown in the example below;

  • Cannot boot from USB/dvd-drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hi,
    since the internal dvd-drive is broken, an external USB drive is used. Now, I need to reinstall windows on a new harddrive. How can I boot from this external drive? (I do have a Floppy disk drive, but I cannot find the right drivers)
    Thanks,
    Luc

    Hi,
    you dont need any drivers for that USB-drive because the USB-floppy is a integrated peripheral of your computer. That means, everytime you connect the floppy to your machine, the computer sets that floppy like a internal hardwired floppy and thats the reason you wont need any drivers.
    Its already installed when you plug it in.
    Cheers

    I do not know about Disk Warrior but if you have a compatible OSX on an external HDD you certainly can boot the MBP.  Use startup manager:

    Terrence, welcome to the forum.
    From what I have read, you will need the video driver for the computer.  This should solve your problem with the touchscreen.

  • Can I attach a second monitor to a TouchSmart 320-1030?

    Can I attach a second monitor to a TouchSmart 320-1030? It has only USB i/o ports. How do I do it? Will the software support it if I can find the right hardware? Can I use an older VHS monitor with some sort of a USB/VHS conversion gadget?

    These units do not have any video out capability, you will need a USB to VGA/HDMI/DVI adapter from a 3rd party, there's no such thing as a "VHS monitor" did you mean VGA? if so then the statement above applies, as it does for all the other 9 million threads on this same subject :-)

  • 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.

  • Cannot Boot from XP SP2 CD when Installing

    I've got a Mac Pro with a ATI Radeon X1900 card. I purchased XP Home SP. I ran Boot Camp Assistant and set up a 32 GB Fat. My Mac froze with the Gray Screen of death. I have tried forcing it to boot from the XP disc by holding down the “C” key while booting. No good. I can get back into OS X Leopard by holding down the “Option” key and selecting the Mac HD. I was able to install Boot Camp and XP under Tiger. I did a clean install of Leopard after a compete reformat of the drive (don’t ask).
    Leopard is working Ok, I just can’t get Boot Camp working with XP. I have a few applications that require XP. I have checked the XP disk and it checks OK.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Rick

    Yes, I can select it and it spins for a while and nothing. It's a bit frustrating. I moved to Mac because it "simply" works. So far Leopard and Boot Camp haven't works as well as I'd like.
    Boot Camp worked well under Tiger. I had Parallels on at one time. I've since completely re-formatted my hard drive to get a clean Leopard install. The Leopard install did not go smoothly before the reformat.
    Boot camp did stop working under Tiger after a Parallels update. I figured that a complete format and clean install would fix all. I'm not ready to re-install Parallels.
    Thanks!

  • New Macbook pro shipped with Lion, cannot boot from SL CD

    I have a brand new Macbook pro 17" - shipped with Lion, cannot boot from snow-lopard disk - tech said I would be able to downgrade. I cant because if I try to boot from the CD it just beeps 3 times. Boots just fine from a Lion startup disk I created first. What the heck is going on here? Very upset that i cannot reach apple support in the evening any longer. If anyone can help it would be awsome. Tnx good prople.

    Hi Paul,
    Just a quick question, are your Fn keys working properly and the 2 fingered scrolling?
    I've done much the same with the help of 2 Apple Geniuses who found me an original 10.6.7 install disk for a my new macbook pro.
    It installed OK but... Fn keys don't work apart from F3 and F12, the rest give an error sound. 2 fingered scrolling on the trackpad doesn't work either.
    Mine was a custom build 15" with hi res glossy screen - I wonder if they've put in the newer wired keyboard mentioned here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4809
    or, if my problem relates to being on 10.6.7...
    Any info would be gratefully received.

  • Cannot boot from XP CD when installing Boot Camp

    I've tried several times to install XP with SP2 on my Mac Pro. I was successful installing Boot Camp with OS X 10.4. I did a clean install of OX 10.5.
    My Mac will not boot from the XP CD once I'm told to re-boot while installing Boot Camp. I've tried holding the "C" key to force it to boot. It still will not boot. I can only get back into Max OS X by holding the "Option" key during boot up.
    I have verified my XP disk and all looks good.
    Has anyone else seen this and is there are work around?
    Thanks!
    Rick

    Hi
    It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
    The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
    I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

  • Problem: installed new hard drive but can´t boot from leopard dvd

    So I just installed a new hard drive in my ibook G4. At first I started up the computer using the leopard DVD I had purchased. Got to Disk Utility and after a few seconds in the spin wheel came up and froze. So, I shut the computer down and when I tried to boot it again from the DVD I wouldn´t even reach the apple screen. Tried it a few times unsuccessfully.
    As an alternative I just tried booting the comptuer using the original CD and it did read it.
    I am currently at the installer page but I am concern about installing the old CD as I really would like to run the leopard dvd 10.5.
    Is it that my ibook g4 can´t be booted from leopard dvd?
    Please advise. thanks!!

    OK, so I decided to leave my computer resting all night and give it a new try this morning.
    This morning I was able to boot from the Leopard DVD, so I don´t really think it is a problem with my superdrive. Started to format at 32 minutes to complete. Then towards the 10th minute the spinning wheel appeared, I heard the fan running, then it stopped and then I heard the superdrive making some reading noises. Then all noises stopped and now the spinning wheel continues..not sure what to do now.
    In the meantime, I wanted to share also another problem that I´ve been having for quite some time which I don´t know if it is related to my current problem. It is with the computer power:
    - I´ve been experiecing load surges that take my computer from 100% to 1 or 0% and then goes to sleep or shuts down. The same thing happens when I am charging the computer.. it starts charging and showing 2 or 3% charge and then jacks up to 100% in minutes.
    - My computer also makes like a slight humming noise sometimes when the ring around the power cable is in orange color, so I move it around until it stops. When I do that sometimes it goes from orange to green eventhough it is not fully charged. There has been times that under green it appears to be charging (battery charging icon on desktop shows up), and other sometimes like right now when it is in green color and the battery icon on the desktop says ´99%´. Weird enough, once I get the cable in a certain position it enables the battery to charge, if I keep it without moving it, the load surges disappear (at least for some days).
    Should I try resetting the PMU? I´ve not done it because I don´t know what consequences it may have.
    NOTE: When I bought the computer I never calibrated my battery because I was (and still are) clueless when comes to computer technicalities. I tried using a different power adapter and get the sample problem.
    Below is the information I get from coconut battery:
    My battery is in its 256 load-cycle. current battery capacity 58512mAh (original battery capacity: 4400 mAh).

  • 3000 J 115 Vista Premium 32bit - cant boot from CD/DVD drive to do clean Windows7-64bit install

    My 3000 J 115 Windows Vista Home Premium desktop configuration is as follows:
    - an EISA area
    - 2 SATA HDD
    - 2 IDE HDD
    - 1 IDE DVD-RW drive
    I changed the BIOS boot order so that the CD/DVD drive is first. Upon rebooting, the CD/DVD drive light comes on at bootup time, but later it proceeds to boot from HDD.
    I tried removing all other HDDs from the boot device list so that the CD/DVD drive is the only boot device - then I get the msg "NTLDR is missing. Press CtrlAltDel to restart".
    The machine will boot only if the C drive HDD is on the bootable device list - the C drive is on the original disk that came with the machine (that disk also has the EISA partition). And then, it wont boot from the CD/DVD even if it is the first on the boot device list. Finally, it shows up all OS's on the OS selection screen at bootup even when the HDDs on which those OS's reside are not present in the boot list (I guess this is again because of the EISA).
    I need to boot from the CD/DVD to do a clean install of Windows7 64bit from the bootable Windows installation CD. How can I get my machine to do that? (I checked my jumper and cable settings for the IDE drives and they seem to be ok)

    I've had a similar issue trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 MacBook Air, getting stuck at the Mac not recognising the USB Stick as a bootable device.
    The rEFIt Toolkit solved this for me - simply install, reboot, and your stick shows up. From there everything was smooth sailing for me

  • Installed New Drive, Need to boot from OS DVD but Drawer will not open.

    I am had to install a new unformatted hard drive.
    I am attempting to boot from the OS X dvd, but when I boot up and hold down the "C" key, the drawer is not opening.

    To eject the drive during boot, hold down the mouse button. Holding down C just tells the Mac to boot from the CD/DVD drive.

  • Cannot boot from install DVDs

    Hello.
    I have been trying to reinstall 10.4 on my powerbook g4 1.67 15" and I am finding that my laptop is having a hard time booting from a DVD. I have tried starting up the computer holding down Option as well as starting up holding down C. I have tried using the retail black Install disc for 10.4. I tried what I believe is the original gray install disc (Mac OS 10.2.7 / AHT v. 2.0.4 / DVD v. 1.1 / 691-4676-A). I also mounted a copy of the retail 10.4 on my external drive. All attempts to boot from the install disc are unsuccessful.
    When booting from retail 10.4 disc, I encountered a screen at startup requesting I install batteries in my apple mouse (keep in mind this is powerbook with nothing plugged into usb nor firewire). Plugging in a mouse just got me to a blue screen.
    When booting from the gray dvd that came with my computer I am getting what looks like kernel panics (a distorted fractal band across the gray apple screen) when starting up holding down c. When I start up holding down Option, and select Apple Hardware Test I get a folder with a ? and mac face. The disc runs then stops and runs and stops. I have let it run for about 10 minuets and nothing comes of it.
    When booting from the external drive I would get the initial install screens, where you select language and then the process freezes - the mouse freezes and the computer does nothing.
    I also just purchased a new/larger HD, installed it and gave that a try - same results.
    My computer & DVD are running fine all this aside.
    Has anyone encountered this. Any suggestions?
    I plan to give an external DVD drive a try, once I can borrow one.
    Thanks.

    Hi, vcou. The gray OS X 10.2.7 installer disc did not come with your 1.67GHz Powerbook and is of no use at all with it. Put that disc aside; it was shipped with an earlier PB model. Your PB requires a minimum of OS X 10.3.7 or 10.4 to boot, depending on whether it was produced early in its production cycle or later in the run. If you can find the disc that was originally shipped with your Powerbook, try to start the machine with it and see what happens.
    The black retail OS X 10.4 DVD should work, provided your PB's optical drive is functioning properly, the disc isn't dirty or damaged, and the build of 10.4 on the DVD is at least the same as the one your Powerbook was shipped with (Build 8A428). Have you started the PB using that DVD in the past? If so, then of course you know it should work. If not, then you don't know for certain that it should work.
    The best case here is that your retail DVD has worked in the past, is not scratched, and just needs a good cleaning. Or the drive needs a cleaning (get a cleaning disc from a local computer store, Best Buy, Radio Shack or record/DVD store).
