Windows 10: Windows won't boot from CD or USB. Can't access safe mode either.

2 grand MSI laptop around a year and a half old. Keyboard is working. Also tried changing the boot priority. I've tried disabling secure boot. Prior to this I could no longer perform a system repair, reset Windows, or even access safe mode via the Windows interface.


I've tried various burners but still getting "No media detected"

cannot boot from CD

i have an old p4, i cannot get into windows at all, and im confronted with the screen that gives you the options:

safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
last known good config
start windows normally

ive tried all of them, and the computer will restart regardless on what i choose. what i want to do is boot from cd so i can reformat. but ive tried everything in the bios to set the cd as priority one. it WILL NOT BOOT FROM CD. it goes straight from POST to that screen. i have tried different copies of XP, but no luck. ive removed everything except the keyboard, monitor and power cable on the pc, no external storage devices attached. i reset the cmos, nothing there. i simply cannot get it to boot from cd, so i cannot reformat

any suggestions?

 

Can't boot into Normal/Safe Mode with Networking, only safe mode...

Good Evening,
I could do with some pointers on resolving an issue. I can only boot into windows in safe mode in Windows 10. Normal mode and safe mode with networking doesn't work. The problem occurred after a windows update. I have removed the latest updates that were installed and cleared any pending ones but it still won't boot properly. I have also run the troubleshooter and tried to recovery to an earlier date which also doesn't work.
The laptop is a HP ENVY 17 notebook. At boot it just gets to the HP logo with the circular loading icon and no further and can only boot it into safe mode. Can anyone recommend the next steps? I have also tried the following;

• stopping startup items
• uninstalling hardware drivers
• removing recent software
• running troubleshooters at boot
• sfc scan
• diagnostic/selective startups with minimal services running

Would the fact that I cant boot into Safe Mode with Networking imply its a network driver related issue?
Bit of a dead end really, any help would be much appreciated
Kind regards
Trevor

 

Can't boot to Windows - urgent solution needed

My method will take some explaining.

What you are trying to do is boot into safe mode: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...a.html#option1 but you can't because windows won't start so, follow option six here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...a.html#option6 to force the boot to allow you to go to the advanced options, at the bottom of option 6 step 4 it shows a screenshot where you can click on the See Advanced Repair Options button.

From there hopefully you can finish the boot into safe mode to reverse the driver install. In option one step 6 of the safe mode tutorial I would choose 4 or F4 to enter safe mode. If 4 doesn't work then try F4, the option to choose either one first is entirely yours.

Related:

• There's a lot of option ones and sixes with a 4 and F4 thrown in so you may want to review the steps.
• I'm unsure why the Safe Mode tutorial link is showing the word in, in the link, there's nothing showing in the parsing, but it will take you to option one step 1.
