[Laptop / Notebook] Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media…

If you are determined to Buy a laptop, we do not recommend in any way to DISPOSE money on a cheap thing, no matter how promising the brand-ul. Whether it is about Toshiba, Acer, Asus, Lenovo or Dell, you need to know that these manufacturers have laptops for all pockets, and brands cannot be compared between them, but only the laptops models launched by these companies. You can opt between a Toshiba and one Lenovo for example, based on the quality / price ratio. By “quality” Understanding not how glossy the keyboard is and how pink is the flap, but the components under the housing. What they offer and how much I satisfy you. The service is an important factor at “quality”. I will be more widely debated in a next article this topic, which will most likely be under the title “What do I need to know before I buy a laptop or even a PC“.

Finally, let's go back to the title of this article / tutorial. These days we had to install an operating system Windows 7 on a laptop Toshiba Satellite from the series C. A low-cost series. Great was surprised that after installing the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and after a series of update-uri, the laptop stays stuck on his own. After starting the operating system and loading the Windows, mousethe and The keyboard remained inpractable. Blocked. On any key I would have pressed or any combination of keys I would have done, the system didn't even answer with a Error sound. After a few resorts the “rece” (otherwise I wouldn't have had to restart it) I finally managed to get in BIOS, cu Repeated -rapid press on the F2 key. Toshiba has a very fast booting system and often “Lose” the sequence of entry into bios. To succeed you must immediately as you press Power button on Press repeatedly and very quickly the F2 key. I saw that many owners of such laptops are complaining about the forums that they cannot enter the BIOS. Yes, you can. But you have to have a job more than a gamer when you press the F2. After I did a BIOS check, I set it in the default configuration. Something like “load optimal / default settings“, as I saw on other BIOS systems. Toshiba Satellite C has one BIOS very strange. With Graphic interface in which you can browse with the mouse. This is the first time I saw a bios where you can change the options in the mouse. Finally. After I gave Default settings at BIOS, at restart I had another surprise. A white written message on black, over which I could not pass neither with bootable USB nor that external optical unit connected to laptop.

Solving this problem It's simple. Enter BIOS > Advanced > System Configuration > Boot Mode. Here you have two options.Uefi Boot and CSM Boot. If you have Windows 7 or Windows 8 on the system, use CSM Boot. Even if the architecture of the installed system is 64-bit. For Windows 8.1, UEFI Boot este the correct option.

What is the UEFI boot? UEFI orUnified Extensible Firmware Interface, is a standard Firmware interface for PCs, designed to replace the BIOS (basic input/output system) traditional. This technology is very similar to the architecture with the traditional BIOS, but it offers a better Security before the boot sequence and before the operating system loading sequence, thus preventing the possibility of a bootkit attack. Another benefit offered by UEFi is the higher operating system loading when laptopThe one comes back from hibernationand support for drivers greater than 2.2 TB. Normally all operating systems Windows pe 64-bit architecture I use UEFi technology.
In a future article we will detail how you can install Windows 7 and Windows 8 on a laptop with BIOS UEFI. Until then solved the error “Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert Boot Media in selected boot device and press a key.” by disabling UEFI.

Passionate about technology, I write with pleasure on stealthsetts.com starting with 2006. I have a rich experience in operating systems: Macos, Windows and Linux, but also in programming languages ​​and blogging platforms (WordPress) and for online stores (WooCommerce, Magento, Presashop).
