• SA30-414 boot from the floppy USB drive

  Hi all!

  I'm tryin to get my my satellite A30-414 to boot from the floppy USB drive and enter the dos mode, but all I get is a black screen (without a slider, of course!), and then the windows XP login page directly. Can you tell me if this model has a boot device menu shortcut keyboard?

  Also, I may be permanently changed some configurations of starting (to know by pressing F12 at startup, then press F2 to try later) with my attempts to get the machine to boot from the floppy drive: now even when the floppy drive is not connected, I get this black screen awkward and then, after a few seconds, the logon windows page. How do I access the Setup menu and check?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello

  You can access the start menu by pressing the F2 key during the boot process. This will take you in the "setup" menu where you can change the order of selection of boot device as well as the other BIOS settings permanently.

  Kind regards

• Portege R100 - boot from the external HARD drive

  I have a Portege R100 and the HARD drive has failed. I installed a new HARD drive and I have the Toshiba recovery disks. I tried to boot from a generic USB CD-ROM but the laptop did not recognize.

  I have a disk of Toshiba USB drive it does not recognize and I have a restore disc but I don't know how from there. Do I have to buy a CD external Toshiba and if so, which?
  Any useful suggestions?

  Hello

  Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible.
  You will also be able to boot from USB HDD!

  If you want to boot from the CD, you must use a compatible PCMCIA cards (16-bit and 32-bit Cardbus) CD/DVD drive.

  For more information, see this article from Toshiba:

  > Thanks, but how do I boot from a cd rom usb drive? I don't have any usb floppy drive
  You need to first boot the bootable disc using a bootable diskette floppy drive!
  Then a driver would be loaded that allows you to boot from the CD/DVD drive

• Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

  I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
  Please, help me!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
  If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
  A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

  You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

  Check this back and forth!

  Good luck

• Not possible to boot from the CD after installing Win XP on Tecra A3

  Hi all

  I can't boot from the CD more? I tried following things:
  -J' used several CDs to boot from, such as Windows XP, other CD CD WinXP or UBCD (ultimate Boot CD) and others to boot from.
  -J' chose in the start menu and the Bios first, the CD player must be started from.
  -Disabled the HARD, the LAN and the FDD drive so that only the CD must be started from, nothing else.
  -Press F12 after start-up und selected CD to boot from.
  -removed the battery
  -removed the disk drive HARD that the CD is only peripheral to start.
  -No available recovery disk.
  * Result: Always at top left corner a cursor flashing on a black ecran.*

  My story to this problem/question.
  -J' reinstalled Windows XP after the system became slow, with SP2 and SP3.
  -During the installation of SP3 and at the same time other pilot the system crashed.
  -Pressing F8 after starting, I can choose the Options to win.
  -System running days, several days without any reaction.
  -Sometimes, it goes into "secure mode" and freezes, no entry or possible reaction.

• It is not possible to boot from the CD bootable on Satellite S5200-902

  Hello

  I have a Satellite S5200-902 and it was really good to use for me actually... Once I received a system error message and might start Windows more. Anyway... I tried to reinstall the OS, but I can't boot from the recovery CD. The CD is ok because I tried it on my other computer. I press F12 for the boot menu option it shows these items as HARD - disk drive - CD drive.

  I choose CD and nothing happens. He always tries to start from the HARD drive. I installed the Windows on the HD satellite on my other computer and it worked very well. He has installed the system but if I put the HD Toshiba Satellite does not start windows. It blocks the laptop.

  BIOS version is 1.30 and I don't know how to install and update the bios 1.8 or something on it, because I don't know how to install it without windows. I now have no idea how to go ahead?

  Can anyone here help me out please because I have no idea?
  Please someone help me ASAP because I need the laptop for work.
  Thank you

  Best regards.

  Hello

  It would be very interesting to know if you can boot from another CD, for example from the original CD of Microsoft.
  It s interesting because I would like to know if the drive of the laptop accept another CD.
  In my opinion, there is something wrong with the internal drive and so the laptop can not boot from the recovery CD.

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

• Can I set up my HP dv7-4165dx to boot from the second hard drive?

  I got a HP dv7-4165dx for about 20 months now. Ten months in the original hard drive burned due to setting up directly under the GPU (lower left corner, to the left of the touchpad and under the keys), which gets quite hot on the top to make your uncomfortable hand. Symptoms include blue screens, troubled during start-ups, as well as a message from the system at boot that said the car was damaged. As it was under warranty, I brought it to Best Buy to get the drive replaced, which took about 2.5 months.

  Now, about 20 months, I face at the beginning of the exact same symptoms. I noticed that there was a second HDD Bay, away from the GPU, so I bought the yarn necessary to the use of this Bay. Now, he tells me that there is no installed boot drive (the hard drive test in the system diagnostics, knows that it is there). I'm sure that I can swap the drive towards the original Bay and be fine but that puts me $ 75 for the HP kit (Yes, I know I might have to eat that, if there is no way), but much more importantly, this means that I will have an another burned (losing everything, even once) by car a month or two.

  I looked, but I can't seem to find a way to tell it boot from that drive. Is it possible, or am I just out of the eye due to bad design? It has been a great machine, except for this problem.

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no option to boot from the HARD drive in the 2nd Bay in one of the series dv7 - sorry for the bad news.

• How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

  I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

  Hi michel_91,

  If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.

• Vista boot from the external HARD drive when 7 is installed on the internal HARD disk

  I had windows Vista pre-installed on my HP laptop, now I installed the new hard drive and downloaded windows 7 on it. and I use my drive HARD back as my external storage medium and it came with vista pre-installed. is it possible to start fromUSB and use vista alternately without remove current HDD with 7 and keep their replacement on a vice versa. I already changed the boot order, but it shows the blue screen and then goes out... help me if you think you have the solution for me...

  Hello

   
  You can not install Windows vista on a USB hard drive. The reason is that manager (Bootmgr) boot will always be on the internal hard drive and will not read the USB drive letter properly and it continues to change.
  However, you can install the two HDD internally, and then you can have a dual boot option by adding the entries in startup of the operating system Windows Vista, Startup Manager (boot mgr).
