Hoping to be a help to someone. I was just wondering… You are all talking about booting from a cd and going to bios to change the boot order. In my case though Samsung laptop, windows 8 the laptop starts up, Samsung logo appears, and the laptop restarts after about 2 seconds. Though it appears to be a bad board or hard drive, this happened before and by pressing the F buttons chaotically, a couple times it has actually booted up. Systems often respond this way when the RAM is faulty or has come loose in its slot.
I am trying to reinstall windows 8 on a dell desktop and it kept going to start up repair. I searched for a solution and unfortunately did not come upon this site first.
The instructions said to disable secure boot and restart the computer. It left out the next instruction of changing the order of the boot drives. Now when I turn the computer on, I see the power light on the tower, no power light on the monitor and nothing happens.
Nothing loads, just a black screen, f8, f2, f12, esc, nothing. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I tried holding down the shift key and clicking restart. The system just starts a normal, the window you are showing does not come up. As I said, this varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer — check with the manufacturer of your computer for instruction specific to your model.
I have no idea. So I have been wanting to load ubcd from my usb, but I think I need to change the setting from enable to disable in the secure boot. Will I be able to enable the secure boot again? This depends on the specific computer, but secure boot can normally be turned back on. I have the CD in. What should I do? I would check with Lenovo. Thank you in advance. Any suggestions. After i select uefi it asks me to restart pc to change settings arter i restart it starts normally.
By far the hardest part of using Macrium is getting the damn computer to boot to a CD. Hi Leo. I have the same problem of booting from a cd. I downloaded dban, burned it to cd thru Windows burner, but could not get my HP Pavilion to boot it.
I have been working on this problem all day and have looked at many articles and videos on the internet. Your article makes the most sense. I am about to pull my hair out.
Please help! I removed the secure boot but no other options besides the one it already had popped up…. In regards to your comment rules, I would say that not only do a lot of people just comment without reading the article, but I bet many more comment after merely skimming the article, which in my opinion is just about as bad.
The same steps worked for Windows 10 as you describe for Windows 8. I was able to get into my Ubuntu CD, so hopefully it will also get back into Windows It is software that is part of your specific computer that is present even before Windows or any other OS is loaded.
I not changed the Secure Boot turned option to on. This is a copy of the relevant page of the Dell Users Manual. Numlock Key Select power-on state for numlock.

Thank you very much happy after fixing my pc. Therefore unless the user has set up a password for the setup program unlikely Secure Boot does not solve the problem of having physical access to the machine. Click the Start button at the bottom left of the screen.
This is the button that has the Windows logo. The screen should change to one with the title "Update and recovery". Click "Recovery" in the left column. The right side of the screen should change. Click the "Restart now" button in the section labelled "Advanced startup". You will be greeted with a message that says "Please wait". Eventually, you will get a screen with the title "Advanced options".
Click the option that says "Use a device". As mentioned earlier, whether this is successful depends on whether your DVD or CD media has the necessary digital signature and whether it is bootable in the first place.
Open the charms menu, select settings, select pc settings at the bottom. Then do what I mentioned earlier. Thank you very much for your help. Sorry about this.. Finally I got it Did what you suggested. Then Selected to boot -- Chose a option It boots as before from windows. What am I doing wrong? Ok, lets check something else. Does your cd drive work?
