Posted: 10-Mar-2011 13:01   Hi I've tried to recover with CD. The manual says press and hold "C". It's not possible to press and hold "C" while booting, the machine beep and beep fast. What can I do? Hope someone maybe had the same problem Thanks assex Posts: 1,853 Registered: 25/09/09 Re: How to start recovery CD on Tecra 8000?

You can enter BIOS and set optical disc drive as first bootable device. Motorhead Posts: 4 Registered: 10/03/11 Re: How to start recovery CD on Tecra 8000? Posted: 10-Mar-2011 13:18   in response to: assex   Hi Yes I use CD 1. I nearly looked 5 times: did I took the right one assex Posts: 1,853 Registered: 25/09/09 Re: How to start recovery CD on Tecra 8000?

Can you enter boot menu where you can chose which device should be used as first bootable device? If this works, choose CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

Posted: 10-Mar-2011 14:09   in response to: Motorhead   Hi I believe that this old unit expects F2 to be pressed to make the boot menu come up. So press this button repeatedly (do not hold it down) when the TOSHIBA-logo is visible. Good luck. Tom BobRock_1 Posts: 152 Registered: 31/05/10 Re: How to start recovery CD on Tecra 8000? Posted: 10-Mar-2011 14:24   in response to: Motorhead   This notebook must be around 12 years old. Where do you found this “oldie”? Enter BIOS settings using ESC button, set CD/DVD drive as first bootable device and try to start recovery installation again.

This "Oldie" is just like new, seldom in use. I like it to buy older machines. This one I'll use for my oldest DOS-Games.

Just ESC for BIOS. Pages: 1 Back to Thread List Threads: [ Previous | Next ]
