My Laptop is Satellite L505-S5990,After i change boot sequence from booting with CD rom to HD it won't effect changes.WHy is it this way>Any tips as to why it is so and how i can change boot sequence from CD rom to HD?

Turn on, hold F8 button down until boot menu appears. Download Norton Boot Recovry to disc from another computer. Install in ur CD/DVD drive. Boot ur computer. Or install ur operating system disc in cCD rom drive. Reboot computer, hold F2 button down, modify BIOS boot sequence so CD Rom in 1st boot device. Boot computer, repair or reinstall operating system.

Why can't you change the bios setup to change the boot order or boot sequence?

Also you can change the boot order or boot sequence temporarily by just rebooting the laptop then watch the screen for which key it says to hit to change the boot sequence or boot order, then hit that key when you see the message.

Click the power button and watch the screen to see which key it says to press to get into the Bios or System Setup. Change the boot order or boot sequence. You want to boot from the cd drive 1st and the hard drive 2nd. This will change it permanently. Then reboot.

There might also be an option to change it temporarily when you boot the system. Just watch the screen and see if it shows you which key to press to change the boot order or boot sequence. It is only effective for this one boot.

You have to enable it from your bios. Change the pattern of your boot device from your hdd to your cd.

Hi,

Try to check if the windows 7 disc that you are using is not just an upgrade disc. Make sure that it is a bootable disc. Try to use other bootable disc to test. Also make sure that the boot device priority is set CD/DVD drive.

Hope this helps.

you are getting this message because the boot sequenece is loading from PXE first, you can go into the BIOS and change the boot sequences order to hard drive first, CD Drive second and then PXE

to reset the BIOS, there is a small battery somewhere in your computer. if you unplug it for 3 seconds, it will reset the BIOS. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT TRY THIS! get a service professional. If this doesn't work you might need to get a new laptop.

for your laptop type , I don't know exactly the keys for doing this, it may be (delete, any of F keys, etc,,,). but for all computers you must check the key for entering bois setup and change your boot order for your computer, and change it to your cd-rom or what you want, save changes, restart your computer, boot from your cd.

can you see the cd rom on the devices installed list as if its not showing up it will not let you change the boot sequence. also to revert to factory settings you need to remove the bios battery hand leave out for a few minutes, then put back in on first boot it will ask for the settings to be set.

Disconnect any USB or other external drives or network cables connections

Boot to your BIOS (F2) menu and make sure the boot sequence is set to boot first on HD or CD ROM (whichever you prefer).
