  • How can I boot from USB - Portege A200

    Hello

    I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

    In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

    Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

    The options I can think of are:
    (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
    (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
    (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

    If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

    I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
    It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

    However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

    There are different reasons for this problem
    For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
    Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

    In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
    I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

    Good luck

  • Can't boot from USB in BIOS FRIEND

    Well, yesterday, I decided to move from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7. I then downloaded a file ISO of Windows 7 from Digital River and made a bootable USB key with it using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Then I put the USB in my old pc to boot from it. In this game with the boot from USB, I have the problem that I think is related with my version of the BIOS. Is AMI BIOS v2.53. If I go to Boot Device Priority it shows boot devices only 3 [link1] - my c: / drive, CD-DVD-ROM and floppy. When I go to the menu hard drives [Link2], it shows all my HARD drive and the 3rd disc is my USB bootable [link3]. And to expand my USB in the Boot Device Priority menu, I put it as the 1st player [link4]. Instead, I can't put my C: / drive as the Boot Device [link5] 2nd. And after I exit and save the changes, it will not boot from usb. It appears the error "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» If I try to boot from another boot menu F8 [link6] button, it will also give me the same error. This problem could be linked with my BIOS version?  I don't know how to solve the problem.

  • EliteBook 1040 2: Boot From USB

    I looked at some other posts about it, but they were not helpful and tried a hat with the support of HP, but it was pretty useless. Without knowing it, I created a problem on my new laptop using EaseUS Partition Master to create a new partition which converted the drive in Dynamic.I only mention this as it may be relevant to the current problem.

    Now I can not create a recovery USB and can't the disk image. I made a backup of Windows with the backup system. Currently I am trying to boot from a USB key that contains the Hirens Boot environment. I tried this UB in my Dell and who will start in the environment of Hiren. Anyway, I went into the BIOS, inheritance and set the boot order to boot from USB first, but the computer will not.

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value. Then try to boot up your laptop and check what happens. Also try to boot from CD/DVD installations. If the problem continues, I'm afraid there is a hardware problem devices such as HDD and ODD are not visible to the BIOS settings.

    I assume it can be due to faulty hardware or faulty controller on the motherboard.

  • Can't boot from usb, lack of boot USB for dv7-4173us option?

    I couldn't find an option to boot from USB on my

    HP Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop BIOS.

    How to enable boot from the USB port?

    Thank you.

    Hey hpng,

    I am pleased to hear that the option is now available. When you set up a dual boot with Linux, I have very little information on how to do it. The only thing I would say, is to read the document "frequently asked Questions (FAQ) on Linux". It has a lot of frequently asked questions, but the main reason is, to the bottom of the page you will see an option to where I can find more information about Linux.

    Depending on what version of Linux you want to install, I suggest you post your question on the Linux community.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

  • Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

    Hello

    I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

    Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

    After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

    Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

    The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

    Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

    Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Michael

    Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

    Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

    OK I fixed that.

    First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
    However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

    After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

    It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

    I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
    The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

    Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

  • Unable to boot from USB thumbdrive running ESXi 5

    I have a workstation xw6600 I used as my sandbox for ESXi from 4.0. So I decided it was time to become familiar with ESXi 5, so before starting to run our upgrade to ESXi 5 in all our servers I wanted to update my own sandbox. I tried first of all to make an update to 4.1 update 1 who does not like I special HP drivers installed, so I decided to make a brand new install ESXi 5 using VMware bootable CD. The installation seems to be successful, but when the supposed to reboot from the USB system I get the typical mistake of the BIOS indicates that no BONES were found "no disk system or disk error." ». For a year I've been running ESXi in this system without problems. I am currently starting from 4.1 update 1 from a USB, if I look that the problem was the installation process in my sandbox (after hours of troubleshooting and several creations of CD), so I did an installation in one of our server (DL360G7). Everything went find I could only start in ESXi 5 no problem (using the same CD I create above). I took this USB to my sandbox and tried to boot from it and still the same error. I can not even boot my laptop from the USB. Does anyone know what changes to the startup procedure in ESXi 5 compare to ESX 4.0?

    From my understanding, if you create a new 5.0 installation, then it will only start using UEFI.

    However, if you upgrade an ESXi in 5.0, it retains the original MBR boot.

    See you soon.

    Hi esc.

    I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

  • Portege R500-12 s - problem of recovery (Boot from USB)

    Hello

    I tried several days reinstall this laptop (Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R500-12 s). I reinstall drive, but it has no CD-ROM included, so I'm fighting with booting from the USB port, with my external hard drive. Those that the BIOS loads even boot from USB? Because there is no alternative USB inside the boot priority. I noticed that I can choose from, what I think is alternative of different startup in start up, when I press the F12 key. When I press the F12 key and choose USB, I just pup up to a similar cmd command line.

    Reinstall is the only option because my laptop is super slow, and I have no restore file (CD) on my laptop

    Ultimately is it possible to reinstall windows via USB boot, or do I have to buy an external CD-ROM drive? Which is the last thing I want to do. Advice or assistance on how I'm going to do this?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    I put t know if this is possible, but if you can visit Toshiba service in your city, ask them for help. They have all the external devices and also external optical drive.
    Buy a coffee and ask if they can install just image recovery using your recovery DVDs. I m that they will help you with this.

    By the way: you can not install OS using the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. Laptop can't see it.
    What you need is the optical disk drive.
    Also, try to borrow a somewhere.

  • Boot from USB on satellite L30 external HARD disk

    Hello
    Is it possible to start Windows XP (pro, sp2) of the connected by USB external HARD drive enclosure?
    Previous issues suggest that it is not possible (officially), but we (http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=21996) says it is. I tried to search for the method mentioned, but with no results (perhaps because English is not my native language).
    It is very important for me, and I would be really grateful if someone could give me a hint.
    Second issue is on "more" before the start of the HARD drive option in the BIOS (Phoenix afair). Is suggesting that it is possible to connect the drive then a more - if so, then how? Inside the laptop, of course, he has no extra room...
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    > I tried to search for method mentioned, but without any result
    As the other threads already suggest it of not possible to boot from the external USB HDD. You can boot from the disk, CD/DVD, floppy drive, LAN.

    The external USB FDD can be connected to the laptop and you could start in the back of the diskette.

    By the way; This laptop does not support select the Bay and you cannot insert a second HDD

    Hello

    It is not possible to boot from USB because the BIOS does not support this feature.
    You can boot from USB FDD, but to do this you will need a boot like Win98 boot floppy disk

    The update of the BIOS will not help you because all BIOS for series A200 don t support it!
