Windows 10: WIN 10 recovery/boot dvd

I have installed win10 from my official MS Win 10 thumb drive dvd onto my pc.

This is an older pc that will not boot from a usb only from a hard drive or dvd.

I therefore had to install win 10 by booting the PC from its original op sys, WIN7 on an internal C; hard drive then run the and install win 10 from the thumb drive which was now usable post booting from win 7.

I now want to create a means to boot win 10 from a dvd should win10 fail, at some point, on the internal hard drive I installed it on.

I have to use a dvd as the bios on the pc will not allow a boot from a usb.

I only have Win10 on the C:drive and other downloaed apps.


Any help will be appreciated


Thanks

:)

 

No mouse or keyboard in Win 10, recovery tool not booting

My PC has suddenly started booting up without reading the mouse or keyboard. All other USB devices are disconnected, I can use mouse and keyboard in BIOS, but once Win 10 is loaded they are not read. The LEDs remain lit on them, but if I boot without them
plugged in, then attach the mouse and keyboard, the LEDs do not light. Obviously, without a keyboard, most of the help suggestions aren't viable.

I have made a Win 10 .ISO DVD using the recovery tool, but the system does not read from it, even if I use F8 and select it is boot option. DVD is selected as primary boot in BIOS, and if I load old Windows 7 disk it boots fine. In BIOS with the Windows
10 disc, it lists a P4: ATAPI CD/DVD, but when the Win 7 disc is in, it also lists a P4: EVFI (or similar) ATAPI device, which will boot (but the Win 7 disc can't repair the Win 10 installation).

I confess my backup disks haven't been kept up to date, and if I could copy the data, I'd be happy with a clean install (Windows 10 has always taken a few restart/repair cycles to load).

 

cannot boot from recovery dvd, cannot "find boot/bcd."

Good evening,

• I can't boot to Windows 10 at all, it is my main operating system (after upgrading from 8.1)
• I get the Windows icon when attempting to boot into the Windows Recovery Environment, but the recovery DVD I use fails to go any further beyond this stage (I/O error.)
  
• Since I can't use Windows 10, I'm using Linux Mint 7.3 and Ubuntu 15.10.

 

dvd missing in win 10

Hello Eddie,

Thank you for keeping us posted on the status of the issue. I would like to assist you further from here.

Refer to the below steps for you to help ascertain the exact issue in this situation.

Step 1

Open the Disk Management Console to find out if the drive has no drive letters assigned to it, as a result of which it is not detected. Follow the below steps.

• Right click on the Windows Start Button.
• Select Disk Management from the User Menu.
• Check for the DVD drives.
• Assign a drive letter for the DVD drive if it is not assigned any.

Step 2

Check if the DVD drive is detected from the
Device Manager and check if there is a yellow triangle next to it. Follow the below steps.

• Right click on the Windows Start Button.
• Select Device Manager from the User Menu.

Step 3

Check if the drive detected properly if you restart the computer ion Safe Mode.

Safe Mode With Networking:

Follow the steps to boot to Safe mode with networking:

• 
  Press the ‘Windows + R’ key on the keyboard.
  
• 
  In the ‘Run’ windows type ’MSCONFIG’ and click ‘Ok’.

  Click the ‘Boot’ tab.

  Choose the type of safe mode by selecting one of the options below the Safe boot check box: Select ‘Network’.
  
• 
  Click OK and then restart your PC.
  

Step 4

Access the BIOS of the computer and check if the DVD drive is detected. If it doesn't, then Windows will not be able to detect the same.

Note: Refer to the manufacturer's manual and check for further information on how to access BIOS settings.
