Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 :: Find Bootable Installation Disc

Nov 21, 2014

I'm looking for a downloadable recovery image for a Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 Windows 7.  I had Linux on it since I bought it and now the wife wants to sell it and need to re-install windows.  I deleted the recovery partition also, so I'm stuck trying to find a bootable installation disc.

It never got to finish operation. Now it is just coming up with a black screen saying, Windows boot manager

Dell :: M1730 Can't Find Bootable Devices.

Jul 13, 2009

My M1730 can’t boot to Vista. It says in red “FAILED”. Also says It can’t find any bootable devices. I did do the test (The one where you press F8 I think) more than once.

I just got my Windows Vista Home Premium OEM disc from Newegg today, I left my original dell one in storage back in NY. It can boot from the disc, but it can’t repair my laptop. So is the HDD dead or what? =/

Dell XPS 12 :: Cannot Find Hard Disk Drive And No Bootable Devices

Nov 18, 2014

My laptop suddenly hanged. When I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del, the menu did not come on. When I repeated, it did not shut down. I manually shut down the laptop. When I restarted, it said cannot find hard disk drive and no bootable devices.

Someone checked it out and they say the drive has crashed. Is it possible the links are loose? Is it possible to recover data from drive?

Sony :: Creating Windows Installation Disc

Mar 15, 2009

Is there a way to create a Windows Vista Installation disc from either the Hidden Partition or Recovery discs? I am not talking about a "Factory Restore"... I am talking about installing a clean version of Windows using the product key on the bottom of the laptop and then using the sony website or Recovery discs to install the drivers.

Lenovo M30-70 C/E/K/M/N/V Series :: Windows 8.1 Upgrade Recovery Disc Set - Stuck On Installation

Jan 8, 2015

I recently got this laptop and wanted to upgrade to Windows 8.1 immediatly since it came with Windows 7. This was of course and option with the disc set that came with the laptop. Unfortunately i have encountered problems in the installation/recovery of Windows 8.1. 
 
When the laptop is finished using the actual disc's (i say finished because it spits out disc 4 which is the last one) and is booting into the OS to do the last installing it "freezes" in the middle of "dowork.cmd". In the cmd window it tries to access a destination directory which it can't. Instead of writing it here, i'm just gonna link a picture of it: 
 
I just don't understand why simple recovery discs would cause a failure... Googling the problem has only lead to this: URL....

Lenovo Y410 P/Y/Z Series :: Unable To Boot From The Windows 8 Installation Disc Or From The Hard Drive

Nov 6, 2014

I have a Lenovo Y410P that will not boot. The BIOS only sees to PXE boot. It does not attempt to boot from the Windows 8 installation disc, or from the hard drive that I reinstalled Windows on myself. I can boot to both of these on other computers, so I know they are not the problem. I'm thinking it's BIOS or motherboard related, but I'm not sure where to go from here.

HP Envy TS 15-j152nr Recovery :: Convert Bootable Discs Made By Notebook To Bootable Usb

Oct 20, 2014

I have a HP touchsmart envy 15 and I am trying to restore computer to factory default. About 6 months ago, the computer said I could make a boot disc and be able to use that to restore my computer to factory and after I make the boot disc, I can delete the recovery partition as it will be stored on the disc. So I went ahead and make the disc (it turned out to be 4 discs) and the computer deleted the partition. Now I am here trying to use the discs to restore to factory, however, my optical drive isn't detected when the bios is booting. Because of this I need to turn those 4 discs into a bootable USB thumb drive. I have looked all over and there are many different ways of converting 1 disc into usb, but not 4.

HP Envy 14 2090 Recovery :: Windows 7 Installation Cannot Find Hard Drive

Nov 13, 2014

I'm installing Windows 7 x64 on my HP Envy 14 2090.
 
Setup cannot find my harddrive, presumably because a SATA driver is missing. I have tried the supplied SATA driver from HP driver download page for my model, but they don't work. I've tried various others, still no luck.
 
The harddrive is found by BIOS. The harddrive has been working without a hitch for years, right up until I tried a re-install.
 
PS: I'm not using the HP recovery DVDs, since these install all sorts of unneccessary software I don't want. (Why do all major laptop producers add this crap?)
 
Where can I find the correct SATA drivers for use with Windows 7 x64 installation?

Dell Inspiron 15R :: No Bootable Device Found

Apr 8, 2013

I experienced my first BSOD today on my 5 month old Inspiron. I was a little concerned but figured it'd be find and just restart. However my laptop never restarted, instead I was greeted by 'no bootable device found. Press any key to restart'

Now I've browsed the Internet and taken a few steps, firstly I ran the diagnostics in the bios and it was saying my hard drive wasn't installed. Then I followed a guide on this forum. I changed the Sata from ACHI to Intel Smart Technology, however now I'm unable to get back into the boot settings and instead my laptop just stalls on the Dell boot up screen.

All this has literally happened out of nowhere today, I run my own business and I rely heavily on my laptop. I can't afford to lose any documents. I'm baffled how it can just malfunction out of nowhere.

Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 :: MSATA SSD As Bootable Drive

Jan 30, 2013

So, I desperately need the SSD speed. 

I know i can use the intesl caching stuff, but i dont want to!!

Intel® Smart Response Technology: This technology utilizes the speed advantage of SSD in caching where the frequently used information is stored on the SSD instead of the Hard drive.

Intel® Rapid Start Technology: This technology enables the system to boot back with-in seconds after getting into hibernation.

What i am looking to do is, put a 128GB mSATA SSD drive in the slot, fire windows into in and use this as my OS & APPS drive, (Drive C:), and then use the existing drive, the 1TB mechanical drive as the storage drive (Drive D:). 

The dell site, say i can not use an MSATA SSD to boot with...i see no reason why!?

Also, i cant find the spec of the mSATA...dont know whether its SATA 3 or SATA 2.

Dell Inspiron 5520 :: Won't Turn On

Jan 11, 2015

A few days ago I was using my laptop when the notification that I had to plug in the charger or my computer battery would die popped up. So I plugged it in and used it for a few minutes when suddenly the screen went black and the computer just shut off while plugged in. I noticed that my charging cord had a green light when it was plugged into the wall but the light went off as soon as it connected to my laptop. I've tried letting it charge, I've tried holding down the power button, I've tried removing the battery and plugging it back in, and I've tried a newer charging cord but the computer still won't turn on. No lights come on even when it is plugged into the wall.

Dell Inspiron 5520 :: External HDD Not Detected

Feb 24, 2013

I have an Inspiron 5520, with Win 7 Home premium 64 bit and an external Western Digital HDD My passport Essential SE (3.0). The laptop is fairly new, I purchased it last June. From first day it seemed that something was wrong with the connection with the hdd. In case I was even touching the cable of the hdd it was disconnecting for example, and since yesterday it doesn't detect it at all!

The light of the hdd goes on, and I can feel it working, but I get no beep sound on my computer, I dont see the drive on device manager, and in general its nowhere!

I tried the hdd in all four USB ports and nothing. The drive has no problem on other computers (with OS Vista and Win 7). My mouse works perfectly on all four usb ports.I updated the drivers for BIOS and chipset, I run pc check up. I checked both laptop and drive with antivirus and antispyware programs. I reinstalled the driver from WD website.

Dell Inspiron 5520 :: Programs Keep Minimizing?

Feb 27, 2013

Here are my computer specs:

Manufacturer: dell
Model: Ispiron 5520
Rating: 5.6
Processsor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i%-3210M CPU @ 2.50 GHz  2.50 GHz
Installed memory (RAM) 6.00 GB (5.86 usable)
System type: 64- bit operating system
Windows 7

I don't know why, but anything I have open- chrome, games, word, windows, periodicly acts as if it is minimized, except I can still see it. If I am on word, I might be typing. Then it happens, and no matter what I do nothing happens unless I click the window again. That means something else, not an application, is opening and closing in the background. The border color changes when this happens. It happens about every minute to five minutes. I think it might be McAfee, but I'm not sure- I can't uninstall it anyways, wont work enough to uninstall or let me delete the files. I did the whole dell scan thing from their website, everything twas fine it said. Sometimes, my computer also fades black and back on, again and again and again- unless I restart it.

Dell Inspiron 5520 :: Boot From USB Device?

Oct 1, 2012

I got a new Inspiron 15R 5520. The problem is I can't boot the laptop from a USB stick like I did on N5040(My 2 years old laptop), and there is no option to do this. First, I hit 'F2' to enter the BIOS setup page, there are only 3 options under the boot device: Hard Drive, CD/DVD, Network. I restart the computer and hit 'F12' to select boot device, still no USB.

Does Dell freeze the function to boot from USB device?

I went to a best buy and I was told that I had to buy a $80 universal charger. I knew right away this was false so I left. Is there anyway I can get a replacement battery off the warranty or some other way?
