![]() ![]() I never heard of SATA 0 and can't find anything on it on the web. My selections for the ATAPI is SATA 1 and the HD is SATA 0. One thing I did note is that in the examples I've seen they all have SATA 1 ad SATA 2. I do this and the disk spins like it loading but nothing happens. I did learn that you can't actually click on the ATAPI to select you must choose the sub SATA associated with it. I am assuming that I have missed something in disabling the secure boot and/or legacy boot configuration. I did learn about secure boot and have disabled it so the iso repair disk should boot - it boots just fine on other machines here. That's what I've tried to do as mentioned above with no luck. I scheduled Chkdsk /r as I suspected bad sectors perhaps.Īfter that the computer will not boot due to BCD error message. The HP diagnostic says the disk failed the short dst but the PC would still boot and run normally but with a lot of disk thrashing. ![]() Chkdsk found no errors other than a couple of security descriptor issues. I had preformed the diagnostics before this post. What am I doing wrong in not being able to boot from the windows 8 iso repair DVD?Īny links, instructions, or advice is greatly appreciated. ![]() I can't imagine that the bios is hard coded to only allow this one DVD to boot from. I assume this is the original disk that came with the PC, however that disk is long gone. The other thing I noticed is that there is an option to boot from a Dell DVD and it has a serial number. I am guessing that if I could click on the ATAPI that I'd be in business. Other options such as hard drive are clickable but not the ATAPI. When in the bios boot menu it give me a choice of devices to boot from and the ATAPI cd/dvd is there but I cannot click on it to select it. However still no boot on the iso repair cd. I read a tutorial on how to disable that in the bios and have done so. The solution is to boot with a repair disk and let Windows 8 repair the boot issues.Īfter several attempts I found that you cannot boot a repair CD in Windows 8 due to Secure Boot. Windows was updated to current which I believe moves 8.0 into 8.1. I have a Dell all in one that shipped with Windows 8. I suspect there are several of you here that have gone through this previously and I'm hoping you can help. ![]()
