Booting Rescue Disk WITHOUT HDD installed

[PC.PRVCY]

hello. First time using Kaspersky Rescue Disk. First time trying to rescue a computer period.

The trouble i’m having is this…

I have a lenovo b570 laptop. It would not access bios or boot from usb/cd/dvd. I removed the hdd, and it booted right into kaspersky rescue disk. So, as i’m following suggestions, i attempt to run the update before a system scan, and it of course does not have a disk drive to use.

So, my curiosity has me questioning whether or not to place the hdd back into it’s spot and see if it picks up on it?

-or-

is that a big no-no?

I’m tech savy enough to feel confident in myself in following some direction on what to do, so long as it’s nothing like the blind leading the blind. 😉

Should i need to get additional information on here, Please advise.

Thank you,

Pc.Prvcy

Hi, @PC.PRVCY!

As described in Lenovo B570 manual at page 26 to enter BIOS you need:

Note:To enter BIOS setup utility, press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.

Then you need to change boot priority to USB\CD-ROM to boot from KRD.
