There is no CD/DVD rom option in BOOT MANAGER

[awp007]

Hey everyone,
I am facing a problem during installation of windows on newly bought HP 15-BE015TU Pavilion serial notebook.
It comes with free dos ( as you all might know). As its with dos (no preinstalled os) i am trying to install WINDOWS 7 through bootable dvd, since I have done prioritiesed the booting order in BIOS accordingly. Still during taking boot from Boot manager, there is No "Boot from Cd/dvd" option enlisted.

Solutions are highly appreciated soonest.🙏

what OS was on it new

what OS do you want.

Free DOS,  are you kidding ? yes, know it, but really?

this pc shipped with windows 10 , in 2016, or newer.

HP does not ship it like that.

so means the HDD died, or someone slammed it with DOS.

the PC you have the F11 OS restore features is now dead for ever, do to your hacker seller, or you bought it from a REFURB store.(site) vast and unknown sources exist.

I buy mine at HP direct. or from walmart, on sale.

are you using Microsoft disks,  ?  from MS?  those  are DVD disk.

so the drive must  be DVD rated, and is an option on most PCs. which one you get. new.

the product page lists it as a DVD writer drive

on my PC,

1: power on, press f9,  see BIOS boot choices now.

PICK DVD.  easy no> if missing in the list the DVD drive is unplugged, or BIOS is messed up, rest BIOS using the BIOS page with same name,

2: then boot the DVD from MS, (id not use that , id use HP windows 10, media kit so that all drivers work and all HP features  work,  (this list is long.... ill skip that now)

3: then you press the F9 and CD boot key,  next press the space bar, repeatably,  this forces the DVD to boot.

That key press is defined in the EL Torito speck long ago, and allows the magic boot thru feature to function on the 2nd autoboot of setup.exe.

you well see or hear the DVD spin up if you do this correctly, ive done it 1000s of times.

see page 97 here

if using and ISO from MS or HP, HP is 1000x better

I make a BOOT USB STICK from that ISO,  forget that DVD drive.

and install 10x faster.

I use RUFUS to make my stick.  its super easy.

even ms, download of w10 lets you burn a stick, now. 

if you set the boot oder to

DVD

Stick Udisk

HDD

this is best.  in that order. if at all,  the F9 key always works, use that....

more kinks

if you PC is UEFI BIOS,  and secure boot is on,  this new feature, blocks all alien boots, (cd./dvd/stick)

so must  be turned off

and the RUFUS , must be set to , MBR/EUFI mode or the stick is inviable..... yes, tricky, no?

the secure boot is used to  block Viruses, from all media not the HDD/SSD main.

that is what it does.  under the new rule.

so we must tap dance to that PITA.
