Message: Reboot And Select Proper Boot Device
Replies: 1 | Post Date: 17-01-2004, 05:20 AM | User: Pcgamer72 | Forums: hardwareforums.comI just installed a new antec 80mm blue ledfan and hooked up another fan that was aleady in there, but had never been hooked up for some reason. I thought everything was going fine, until i started up the computer and i got the message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". Im not sure what is wrong, because i did not change anything else in the computer.

Error - Reboot And Select Proper Boot Device
I had a few problems getting pc to run (namely, i somehow lost the jumper for the bios pins on the motherboard. Because i had no jumper, it kept running in recovery mode. Took me a while to figure out, too). I don't know if it matters, but i popped out the battery as some instructions stated. I waited ten minutes and then placed the battery back, positive side up, which is what i remembered it being before i removed it. I only did that because i was at a loss at what else could be done to get the system running. Now, the system boots up fine and recognizes all devices, except. The problem is that after the post, an error pops up. "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device"
I had made a floppy that had the upgraded bios on it and had stuck it in the system before powering it up. I know the floppy works, because it worked on another system. I tried installing windows xp without the upgraded bios to see if it would work, and it did. I suppose that means that the cd drive works, but i have no way to tell if the floppy drive does. From what i can see in the [f2] bios setup utility, it is recognized. I don't see why the floppy drive wouldn't work. After all, it's just a floppy drive, with power & connection to mobo. The boot order is floppy, hard drive, cd-rom. And no matter what i do, the computer keeps throwing the error at me.

Message: Reboot & Select Boot Device Or Insert Boot Media
I built my first computer about 2 weeks ago but have noticed a problem. When i turn the computer on it shows the motherboard screen and stays there for approx 15-20 seconds. Then it goes into a black screen stating that i need to "reboot & select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. "
I am a bit confused on what this means. If i restart the computer while it shows the message it starts up with no problems. What can i do to have this message no appear as i power on my computer? Also during the shift from one screen to another, the screen blinks in green and other colors. What can this be? Can it be that i have my lcd tv connected to my computer with a dvi to hdmi cable?Besides these issues, everything seems to run great, no overheating at all.

Usb Devices Stopped Working - Message: Unknown Device
Randomly when i was on my computer yesterday all of a sudden everything connected to my computer by usb stopped working, i tried reconnecting, restarting etc, but everytime i plug anything in by usb it says unknown device and doesn't work not sure if maybe usb ports got fried somehow. But that seems unlikely because they still detect that something's connected and then i plugged in a serial mouse and keyboard and they work so i'm not quite sure what happened or why.

Rollei D330 Camera - Message: Usb Device Not Recognized
I have my digital camera (rollei d330) which has to be connected to the computer by usb to copy the pictures on the hard drive. I didn't have to install anything - and it always worked. But suddenly it does not anymore! Usually when i connected camera and computer, a wizard popped up, but now there appears a message "usb device not recognized" in the system tray. I already installed service pack 1, but it still doesn't work. The camera doesn't cause any problems with other computers tho! Does anyone have a clue what to try? I got windows xp by the way.

System Boot / Reboot Issues
The system seems to run fine except for two issues i have been having: 1. When rebooting the system will shut down and then on restart it will make some carzy beeping and halt. This does not occur however when shutting down. 2. During boot after verifing th dmi pool it will try to boot from cdrom and then say it failed. However if i hit enter the system continues to boot fine. This problem even occurs when only the hard drive is selected in the bios to boot. I have search all over and found no information about these problems and i would greatly appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what to try.

Usb Message: Hi-speed Device Plugged Into A Not Hi-speed Port
I'm rebuilding my system, and have two pci cards with firewire and usb ports. I remember before the rebuild i plugged them in and they worked. That was nice. Now, i installed them one at a time. The first one prompted no notifications, but when i plugged a device into it it warned me that it was a hi-speed device plugged into a not hi-speed port. I installed the second one, and it prompted the new hardware wizard, asking for drivers, but said it couldn't find them although i had dsl connected. The cards did not come with any disks and there was no problem getting them to work before.

Message: Usb Disk Is An 'unknown Device'
This happened to my usb flash drive a few months ago, and it happened to my new one, too. I have no idea how to fix it. My usb disk is fine. It's a cruzer micro 4 gig. The head's not bent or anything, and the light that comes on when the computer acknowledges the device still works. However, whenever i plug it in (this happens on both of my computers-one is windows xp; the other, a vista), a message comes up stating that the usb disk is an "unknown device" and that windows "could not recognize" it. I unplugged it and plugged it back in, same message. I tried troubleshooting, but everybody knowns windows troubleshooting is awful, and they treat you technology-wise like you're amish. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but, that proved ineffective as well. Any way to get rid of this "unknown device" message?

Inaccessible Boot Device
Where do i start?
I'm getting the fatal blue screen with the message "inaccessible boot device". I've tried everything. Cables are okay. Bios detects the hard disk. Seatools' diagnostic program detects the partitions. But i can't access it in any way to run a 'chkdsk' on it or to scan it for viruses. Hdd re-generator detects it and runs a scan for bad sectors for a while. But the system restarts or shuts down before completing the scan. I installed another hard disk so i could recover data and/or scan it for errors. But when my 'cursed' hard disk is connected to the system, nothing happens. No progress.

Usb Device Cause Computer To Freeze Or Not To Boot
I have recently been having issues left and right with my computer freezing or not given booting. I got it mainly fixed but i found out something strange. It would appear when i had my card reader connected and my wireless usb adapter connected (with the usb cord connected) the computer would either freeze while loading the os or not even boot at all. When the card reader was connected i had a 2gb sd card in it and for some reason the card wasn't being detected at all and vista wasn't even detecting the card reader till after maybe 5min. After plugging it in. Also, the other strange thing is when i had my usb wireless adapter plugged in with the usb cord the computer wouldn't even boot or it would freeze like above. When i finally just connected the wireless adapter by itself windows loaded fine with no freeze/lock ups (and yes, i don't have the card reader connected right now). Idk but i'd hate to say this but would it be a psu issue? I was playing l4d and killing floor fine last night with my xfx 4850 oc'ed. What is going on here? Side note: has the latest ati drivers been causing anybody any issues lately? Like lock ups or anything? At first though i thought it was the oc'ing from catalyst causing the issue but i guess it wasn't.

Can't Find Boot Device - Mbr Is Bad On C
I just added a new slave drive to my old computer yesterday. The drive has xp on it, i just haven't formatted it yet. After i plugged in in using cs i rebooted and for some reason my computer booted from that drive, which is now called e:. My master drive is still there and looks to be fine. I went into bios and changed my boot options and hdd options so that it would boot my c: drive first. Now when it goes to boot the c: drive it gives me an error saying that their is nothing to boot. If i have my cd drive plugged in it tries to boot that but says nothing is there. So anyway, for some reason i think my mbr is bad on my c:. I really don't want to format or anything. What would be the best way to fix this issue? I have the ultimate boot cd, should i just pop in xp and fix the mbr? Last time i had this issue i think i ended up reinstalling xp which was a pain.

No Bootable Device Insert Boot Disk And Press Any Key
When booting windows vista ultimate using boot camp, i get a black screen with the message "no bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key". Also, my keyboard does not respond and the disk does not eject unless i hold the mouse buttons down when rebooting. Can anyone help me and how i can restore my computer back to the original configuration (or the new os x 10. 5 leopard) so it will work properly? Thanks in advance for any help. This is a very serious problem and is preventing me from accessing my os x.

No Bootable Device Insert Boot Disk Press Any Key Hp
The day before yesterday, i turned off the pc using windows vista menu > shut down. When i turned it on, after the hp logo, it shows a black screen with the following error: no bootable device - insert a boot disk and press any key. I already tried to load bios setup defauts, did memory and primary hard disk self tests (they were ok), changed the boot order (f10), but the error message persists. I did the reset procedure, which i unplugged the battery and the ac charger and keep the power button pressed for 6 seconds, but it didn't worked either. I tried the (f11) recovery mode, but the error message persists (i do not have the recovery discs to boot from the disc). I tried to boot from windows xp disc but it stays forever on the press any key to start from the cd message. I tried to boot it using another os cd (ubuntu) but it asks to update the bios. I do not have vista dvd (it did not come with the pc). What else can be done? How can i solve this problem?

Insert Media In Selected Boot Device And Press A Key
In brief i used killdisk to wipe my hard drive which worked fine its been wiped clean. (My laptop does not have a floppy drive)
Now when i load my laptop up it comes up in a dos kind of environment and displays the following:
"Intel undi, pxe-2. 0 (build 082)
Copyright (c) 1997-2000 intel corporation
Sis900 pxe bootrom v1. 09 hook int19
Cliet max addr: 00 03 0d 28 fc 91 guid: 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009
Pxe-e51: no dhcp or proxydhcp offers were received. Pxe m0f: exiting intel pxe rom
Reboot and select proper boot device
Or insert media in selected boot device and press a key"
Again i have been in then bios settings and changed the priority to load the cd 1st, i also presume by device they are referring to my cd drive. I tried to put fdisk on and format but i now think i may of put them onto cd wrong. Anybody heard of how to get out of this then tell me, i am on a desktop at the minute and yes i can put files onto cd if needed but only program i have managed to load so far from reboot via cd is killdisk.

Will A Computer Boot From A Usb / Usb 2.0 Device?
Will a computer boot from a usb/usb 2. 0 device? Ex. Cd-rom, how does that detect in the bios? What bios settings must be made to enable that. The reason i ask is i was thinking about building a comp with no internal optical drives. I wanted to hide the box out of site while the *-rom and *-rw drive are easily accessible on my desk top.

Keyboard With Proper Enter Key
I've read through the previous thread, but i'm not interested in keyboards that lack a 'proper' enter key (why do i see some pics with and without full size key anyway?). It would be nice not essential for usb ports. Illumination that is adjustable is preferable. I also have my eye on the saitek eclipse 3, but obviously it seems that the enter key is half size. Any ideas or am i completely wrong about the enter key size issue?

Windows 2000 Not Recognizing Proper Hd Size
My previous wd hd failed, and got a replacement from dell today, a 250 gb one. Even though my bios is quite happy to acknowledge that it's 250, my windows 2k isn't, nor is the fdisk from my diagnostics boot cd or my partition magic. They all claim it's 127 gb, and as such i can only create a 127 gb partition of of it. Does anyone know about this kind of problem or even a solution to it?

Proper Way To Hook Up Hardware With Ide Cables
Please tell me what the proper way to hook up 2 harddrives, a cd-rom and floppy. A friend was having problems with his computer, i fixed it but now i'm looking at the mess of cables and wires that are in his computer. Right now he has 1 ide cable hooked up to the cd-rom and master harddrive, 1 ide for the floppy and 1 for a slave harddrive. Is this the proper way or should both harddrives be hooked up on one ide and can the cdrom and floppy be hooked together?

Right now he has 1 ide cable hooked up to the cd-rom and master harddrive, 1 ide for the floppy and 1 for a slave harddrive. Is this the proper way or should both harddrives be hooked up on one ide and can the cdrom and floppy be hooked together?

Proper Way Of Replacing Whs System Drive
My main drive with whs started to make a clicking sound last week for about an hour and has since stopped. I quickly purchased an exact match for the drive and have it in my hands. What would be the best way to copy the whs install and data to that new drive? Cloning it?
Ordering another drive, taking that one out of the pool and then reinstalling whs on the new drive. I only have 500gb left on the server so i would have to purchase another drive to have enough space to put the data on a new drive have a new systme drive.

I have nvidia quadro fx 4400 card with a dual monitor. I alwas have this problem. Everything and then the primary monitor, which is my left monitor, gets switched. No matter what i do in the nvideo driver control panel, i could not get the left monitor to be my primary monitor unless i physical switch the cable that connects to my computer. I want the window has the windows launch bar or start menu on the left and not the right. Now, some i am able to get the left to have the windows start menu launch bar on the left monitor as i wanted, the problem is, i have to mouse my mouse clockwise, or to the left, to get to the right monitor, and i do not want to do that. I want to be able to move my mouse to the right and gets to the right monitor. It's all messed up.nvidia's support site sucks so that's why i'm asking this question in there.

Select Good Dvd Writer
How to select a good dvd writer? I would like to buy a dvd writer. I have not many ideas how to pick a dvd writer. When selecting a dvd writer, what aspects/specifications do i need to focus on?
Do you have any criteria when selecting your dvd writer?
By the way, this is my temporary criteria:
- Support dvd+/-r, dvd+/-rw; dvd+/-r (dl), dvd+/-rw (dl)
- Stable (or longer warranty period)
- Can read most discs correctly, even the lower-quality discs (eg data burnt on poor-quality discs, or discs burnt by poor cd/dvd writers)
- The noise factor is unimportant (unless it is too loud)
2) which brand or model will you suggest me buying? And **most importantly**, why?
3) about dvd write types and writing speed:
A) for the write types, as far as i know, there are cav, clv, zclv, pcav [any more?]. Are these factors important when choosing a dvd writer? Which one should i prefer?
B) for writing speed, i'm not sure if speed is important. Even if they support very high speed, is it unwise to burn at that high speed since it also increase the chance to spoil the dvd? If so, what's the point of getting a very-high-speed dvd writer? I'd just use the lower speed to burn a safe dvd. What do you think?
4) maybe it's a stupid question. But is it true all dvd-writers can read cd and vcd (video cd)? And is it true all dvd-writers support at least:
- Cd-r
- Cd-rw
- Dvd+/-r
- Dvd+/-rw
5) better dvd media. Apart from dual-layer dvd, is there any better dvd media in the market now?
If so, what are they? How good are they? Should i buy a dvd writer which support these dvd media too? Why?

On Click Mouse Highlight / Select Everything On A Page
I seriously have no idea what's been going on. My mouse seems to have become possessed today as it's doing some funky things. I have the mx duo keyboard and mouse combo and have owned them for less than a year. Problems that i are having with it are primarily with its responses. Sometimes when i click on certain links the poitner turns into a "wrong or no sign" (basically a circle with a line through it). Other times when i click only once on a page or on desktop and try to scroll down it begins to highlight everything. It's as though the mouse is lagging. I don't think it's any of my applications. The only thing i have recently changed about my setup is my monitor, but everything else has been fine up until now. Does anyone know if gel padded mouse pads can wear enough to the point that the mouse doesn't read correctly? Anyone have any suggestions?

Dell Studio 1747 Touchscreen Select Item
Is there a way to increase the size or circumference of my touch on the dell studio 1747 touch screen? This would make it easier for me to select items on the screen or in internet explorer because currently the touch size is a small dot, which is quite small. If this is possible, could you please describe the steps necessary to do this. For example, go into control panel and click on whatever and then click on whatever, etc.

Memory Difference Corsair Value Select And Xms High Performance
What's the difference between, for example, corsair's "value select" memory and their various "xms high performance" types of memory?
In practical terms, what difference will this make when i am running my applications? (Esp. Gaming applications. )
Also, while i understand that a "heat spreader" is a way to cool off the memory, i am wondering what difference this makes in practical terms as regards application performance, as well.
