The system can't start the two methods solved by the novices normally (2)

2, USB device boot system

Currently, USB devices are widely used, and there are many devices that can be supported, especially laptops. Many laptop manufacturers now have a built-in optical drive in order to save costs or reduce the weight of the machine. Therefore, many of the friends have equipped the laptop with an external optical drive. The most common external optical drive, connected to the notebook through the USB interface, can the computer be started after the system crashes? The answer is certainly yes.

Step 1, determine the device

First, make sure that the computer supports USB device booting. If it is not supported, it can't be used. We can check whether the motherboard BIOS supports it. Option. Under normal circumstances, the original optical drive can basically boot and identify the optical drive. For example, IBM's original USB optical drive can successfully boot and identify the optical drive on the S and X series.

Step 2, Basic Setup Steps

Enter the motherboard BIOS interface of the laptop, select the “Boot” option, and find the option to select the boot sequence to mediate. One is For the option of "USB CDROM", select "Save and Exit". Connect the USB drive to your notebook and insert the boot CD into your CD-ROM drive. Restart the computer and boot the system with an external USB drive.

Tips:

There are other USB device options in the "USB CDROM" option, such as USB ZIP, USB FDD, USB HDD, etc., which are selected for use with different devices. .

3, using other interface startup method

Nowadays most laptops use USB external optical drive, of course, there are other interface types, such as 1394 and PCMCIA card and other interfaces, Let's focus on the startup method using these two interfaces.

First look at the 1394 interface, now there are more machines using 1394 external optical drive, such as SONY VX89, SRX99 and so on.

Step 1, check the interface

This step is the same as USB, we must first check the computer to see if its BIOS boot settings support 1394 interface type.

The second step, making 1394 boot disk

When the 1394 CD-ROM drive starts, you need to load a special boot image. You can use Nero's boot disk burning tool to create a 1394 boot CD. However, it should be noted that if you are making multiple continuous system recovery discs, you need to add this boot image to each disc, otherwise it will not recognize the disc after the disc change.

Step 3, Make Settings

This step is exactly the same as the previous one. Enter the BIOS of the motherboard, start the selection, select the option related to 1394, then save and exit, then It will be fine to restart.

Finally, let's talk about the PCMCIA card. The PCMCIA card drive is also an ideal choice for users. Like the 1394 optical drive, it must load a dedicated boot image. You can boot the PCMCIA optical drive using a bootable USB floppy or a CD loaded with the boot image. This way you can use it normally.

The above-mentioned methods are all some of the system startup methods that users often come into contact with. Of course, the startup mode of the notebook computer is somewhat special. If the notebook with the built-in optical drive is started, It's the same as a regular desktop. Then there are some special devices, such as network boot, floppy disk drive, etc. These are the startup methods we rarely use now, and we will have the opportunity to continue to discuss with you in the future.
