Dell Inspiron 6400 :: Unable To Boot From CD / USB?
Jun 16, 2012I need to reinstall xp on my Dell Inspiron 6400. I don't have any recovery disc or what so ever, only windows xp disc.
The weird thing is that the laptop won't boot from anything but the HD. To format the drive i had it connected externaly to other computer then formatted it from there. I tried using boot selector menu (F12) and selecting cd-rom - nothing happanes.
Also tried booting from bootable usb drive with xp installation on it - nothing happens. Also tried changing boot sequence in BIOS - no affect.
I thought my disc maybe is bad - but i checked in other laptop and it boots great,both from my disc and from my usb flash drive. How to make it boot? Tried resetting the bios to its default.
Also, I thought maybe its sata drivers issues which needs to be slipstreamed onto the windows xp installation - but i hardly think that's it, cause this laptop doesn't even have an option for AHCI mode.
Dell Inspiron 6400 :: AC Adapter Type Cannot Be Determined / Can't Boot With 2 Sticks Of RAM
Apr 4, 2013I'm using a old dell inspiron 6400 this isn't my main laptop anymore but i still love it so i want to fix it a year or 2 ago the laptop wouldn't boot i fixed it by taking one ram stick out of DIMM B i have 2 slots it use to have 512mb on each side one on dimm A and one on Dimm B. I want to use the second ram stick so i can use 1024 mb of ram. if i put them both in numlock 9 is on(and shining green) numclock A and Numlock down arrow are blinking(green).
and also i get a arrow at boot saying the ac adapter type cannot be determined please connect a dell 65w charager or better for optimal preformance and blah blah the battery will not charge and performance will decrease. I purchased to dell chargers with my laptop a 65w and a 90w they both give the sam error i did research on both my problems until i joined this and someone said that the cords were flexed and the wires weren't connecting. well both of my chargers have been flexed for 1-2 years is this why?

Mar 21, 2009I have bought a MB alu 2.0GHz + 2Gb RAM DDR3 and I have noted that sometimes the boot time is longer in the morning or after a long s/d (more than 6hrs for instance) than after a 2-3 hrs s/d. Indeed the cold startup takes around 43-45sec whilst the 'warm' start may take about 32-35sec. Does this happen to you too?
2nd question: what do you think about ONYX? Is it worth making this automation or it is better to abandon these pc-attitudes on a mac?
Sony :: Vaio Startup (boot) Chime Sound
Feb 23, 2009When you boot your Vaio you will hear a special chime, this is one of Sony Vaio's feature. I know that some people do not like this sound and disable it in the boot menu. On the contrary, I quite like this chime. I want to use it in my mobile phone as a ringtone or a message sound. I try to find it in my Vaio S36 but couldn't find it. Can anyone please help me find the boot sound file or tell me where it is located in hard drive?
View 4 Replies View RelatedLenovo ThinkPad L R/SL :: How To Make Boot / Startup On CD Not Floppy
Oct 8, 2014 I have a Lenovo Thinkpad R61li 15.4" screen laptop. It's important that I keep this computer in service with the Win XP Pro Sp 3 because I have two vital programs which will not install on Win 8.
This computer has never had a "A: Floppy dirve" and only a CD drive but the installation options for making a Boot Disk/ Start-up Disk only consider a Floppy drive and not a CD drive. I need to make a Boot/Start-up disk on a CD so that if I get locked out of my computer AGAIN, I can boot back into Windows and then either fix the problems or restore from my current backups.
I have two new sets of Rescue Disks but they don't boot into the current OS so that I can access my backups. And if I can't access Safe Mode or do a repair, I'm stuck with the problem of having to reinstall an old version of XP, which is then not compatible with my backups because the backups have new Windows files from all the upgrades.
How can I make a Boot Disk/Start-up Disk like we used to use in the "old days" to start the initial system files and boot into Windows so that I can either make repairs to restore from my backups using current Winows files?
Lenovo B / G Series :: G580 Always Showing Boot / App Menu On Startup
Sep 24, 2014I have bought Lenovo Essential G580 (59-324061) Laptop (3rd Gen Ci5/ 4GB/ 500GB/ DOS) on Feb 2013, its out of warranty now.
I have installed Ubuntu in the laptop, not sure how i formatted the hard disk during installation. I guess it was full format of hard disk during installation (while selecting hard disk).
Till today everything was working fine. From today morning, there is always a Boot menu which is being displayed with following options:
1. ubuntu
2. PCI LAN: Atheros Boot Agent
3. ATA HDD: ST500LT012-9WS142
4. ATAPI CD: MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ8D1
I have pressed enter in both Ubuntu and ATA HDD options. But after a brief duration the control comes back to the same menu I have specified before. How to boot to ubuntu.
Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: IdeaPad Y510P Freezes At Startup - Takes 10-15 Minutes To Fully Boot Up
Mar 18, 2014For the first week or two it worked fine and everything was going really well. Then about a week or two ago it started acting up. It is freezing programs(firefox, IE, Chrome, explorer, Flash CC, blender, and a few other programs I needed to install for school. It sometimes freezes on startup and I have to hold the power button down to restart it. Sometimes when it restarts it takes 10-15 mins to fully boot up and load up to the login screen.

Dec 5, 2014I had exactly the same problem with my Acer Aspire 5552G with win7, I tried all things that was online e.g. New battery, Flashing bios, Fn + esc without battery when trying to start the computer and so on.
It started now and then and worked perfect but when I shut it down again it could take me up to 50 tries to get it started.
The problem was issues with the boot sector on the hard drive!
Finally I made an Win7 repair disc and started from.
I also checked for errors on the hard drive and it repaired some sectors before starting windows.
After that it works like when it was new. The computer was bought January 2011.
Lenovo T400 / T500 :: ThinkPad T540p / Unable To Select UEFI / Legacy Boot In BIOS / Startup
Aug 7, 2014I bought a ThinkPad 540p that comes with preloaded Windows 8.1. As I want to dual boot the machine I tried to select the Legacy Boot option in the BIOS/Startup tab, but I can't do anything as the option UEFI/Legacy Book is greyed out and locked in "UEFI Only". Below it there is an option called: -CSM Support that is also greyed out and selected as [No]. (below these options there is a little note with an asterisk saying "Unselectable for Secure Boot").
How can I enable the UEFI/Legacy Boot option again in order to dual boot the computer? I want to be able to boot from USB or from the CD Drive.
Sony :: The Vaio Startup Assistant Loads On Startup
Oct 8, 2009When I first loaded up my Vaio the Startup Assistant booted by itself and I unchecked the box to stop booting on startup. After the while the Startup Assistant started booting up by itself even though the box is still unchecked. I thought by recovering to factory settings and unchecking the box would fix it but it has started booting up again.
how I can get rid of the Vaio software?

Dell :: Laptop, 6400 Vs 4300, And GPU
Apr 22, 2009I've been looking at laptops recently because I had a liquid scare w/ my current. I've been looking at the e6400 and e4300 alot at the outlet, they seem to be good machines for a good price.
Is there any downside to the e4300? I like the fact that its a whole pound lighter. I can get the same spec'd e4300 for aboug $50 more. It looks to just be a smaller clone of the e6400.
What about the GPU in the e6400? I've read alot of overheating issues, but I'm afraid to not have the power. I don't play games, I watch movies occasionally and I plan on using an external monitor in the future. Would I be able to do that w/o the nvidia gpu?
I noticed they come w/ a 3 year warrenty...do the provide mail in, or would it be worth it to pay for on site?
Dell :: Unwilling 6400 Replacement
Mar 26, 2009I recently had a little incident that rendered my old Inspiron 6400 unusable (and a biohazard; it got barfed on). Anyway, fortunately my CompleteCare warranty isn't up until May and I managed to get a replacement--but the tech said he couldn't guarantee that all the specs of the new laptop would be as good as my old ones. He wrote in his notes that I needed a 1680*1050 screen or larger and a dedicated graphics card (I do a lot of image editing), but what are the chances that I'll get a computer back that doesn't have these?

Dell :: Bad Flash On Inspiron 6400
Jan 2, 2009The thing is that my aunt started downloading updates and things from Dell (as she told me,
I wasn't there) and in one of those updates, there was the bios, she updated the system, and then it never came back to life...,
so I was wandering if there is a recovery method with a usb floppy drive (I have one),
since I've tried the Windows Key + F and Fn + F with no avail, is there other option, other than replacing the motherboard? (I live in Chile, and here all computer related things are very expensive... and I don't have credit card to order overseas )
Dell :: E1505/ 6400 Motherboard Or Ram Going Bad?
Jan 8, 2010I purchased this laptop about 3 years ago and up until a few months ago it was a well capable laptop. Since the original purchase I put 2 gigs of Ram in and a new higher capacity HD and thats about it.
Around a year ago I started noticing the audio skipping on everything. Youtube, all video file types, mp3's and flacs. It didn't really bother me at the time because it was a skip or static sound every several seconds. Now more recently it is once every second and really bothering me.
Dell :: 6400 - My Laptop Is Not As Fast As It Should Be
Sep 29, 2008My laptop is not as fast as it should be.
Simple tasks are freezing/stalling for a couple of seconds before they respond. For example, when I open "control panel" it takes about 3-5 seconds to get all the icons up. When I open volume control from the tray, it takes a good 2 seconds to respond to me clicking on the volume bar. Lastly, iTunes has noticably slowed down as well; takes a second or two to respond to my commands.
Maybe im nit picking here, but should simple tasks respond instantaneously?
I have definitely noticed a slowdown since I got this machine 4 weeks ago.
This is all with just iTunes and one or two windows in Firefox open. IE7 is not even an option cuz its so much slower.
For clarity, I have the following:
Core Duo/9400 @2.53
4.00 GB RAM
32-Bit Vista Ultimate
