Boot from USB CD/DVD RW

Hi all
I would like to ask if it is possible to start the laptop (T.Satellite) an external USB CD/DVD. I have this necessary cause my CD/DVD-RW is not working and I would like to reinstall the system on the Toshiba CD with the hope that everything will start to work again properly. I try to go into the BIOS to change the sequency of startup, but I don't have the ability to put an external USB device. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello

You should tell us what model you have because some models may support this and isn't the most.
In general, I would say no, though. Very few models support this. The only one, I know in my head right now is the Portege M200. Other models later, it can support, but I can't say right now. It's better if you tell us that you you have.

  • Boot from USB or DVD with UEFI bios upgrade

    Hello

    I have an Alienware Aurora R4. I am trying to upgrade the BIOS A03 to A05. My system uses the UEFI boot loader. I have problems starting in anything except through the windows.

    I tried to make a bootable USB flash drive with both the HP disk storage format tool and Rufus using the win98 and FreeDOS as the operating system. The bootable flash drive is recognized when I do F12 and I chose to start. It goes straight into windows.

    I tried to boot from the drivers and utilities disk and once again, he is going directly into windows.

    In my BIOS, I value UEFI then CD/DVD the HD device boot order and still it doesn't start from one of these devices.

    Is it possible either due to UEFI? If I understand correctly this is a 64-bit application and will not recognize any OS 32-bit like BACK. Is this true?

    What I have to go into the BIOS and change it for a legacy instead of EUFI start-up and if I do this will I have no problem starting after I do the upgrade of BIOS and return to EUFI?

    Thank you

    Mike

    I think that you have solved your problem.  If you need boot from a USB device, it will boot UEFI information appropriate unless your BIOS has an option to return to the start-up inherited automatically.

    Updated the BIOS normally resets the configuration to the default configuration for the computer.  If you are unable to update the BIOS, you will need to look through the BIOS configuration page to ensure that your settings are correct.  I would not be surprised if the first parameter you have to do to come back to the UEFI boot mode.

  • NB200 laptop cannot boot from USB CD/DVD drive / blinking cursor

    I have a toshiba nb200 - 11L, a little less than 2 years (no guarantee!). Recently, it has developed a problem that prevented him from starting the system and all that happens is I have a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of a black screen. The partitions of the options only are F2 and F12, but these will not allow me to enter in safe mode or use the toshiba recovery option.

    I bought the toshiba on cd rom recovery disk in order to complete a re - install but the bios displays only the HARD drive and floppy drive as an option and it doesn't seem to be any way to add new options.

    I checked the hard drive that seems to be ok. I fear that the problem may be the motherboard that I think will make any repair uneconomic.

    Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you. Keith

  • 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.

  • How to boot from USB-drive on Compaq Presario CQ57 400SO

    Hello!

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ57-400SO I want to install Windows XP instead of Windows 7, which is included. I had two questions now since I hit a few bumps.

    1 at - not, at all, driver support for Windows XP to get their hands on?

    2. How am I suppose to boot from USB (my DVD-ROM is broken)?

    + Have converted my installation of Windows XP on USB disk.

    -J' have tried to change the boot order, and no, the USB is not marked with! so it should work.

    -J' tried by pressing F9, that gets me the Boot Option menu. But once I press the USB it goes right to the Windows (the pre-installed).

    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards

    Hi @kvartsnorsk

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

    What happens if I do not see my operating system?

    On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.

  • Cannot get Z3 - 615 to boot from USB or CD/DVD

    I've been trying to get a Z3-615 to boot from the CD/DVD or a USB bootable device. All my attempts have failed. I have checked all the settings of the bios, changed the boot order and all other options. I try to boot from a well-known Windows 7 disc. I tested the CD and USB on other devices and they work perfectly.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    to install windows 7 on your desktop, you must move from UEFI to legacy, disable secure boot and allow to launch the CSM.

  • Problem when booting from USB and bootable DVD

    I tried to boot from a bootable DVD to try Linux and install it. So pressing F9 to select the boot device, so I chose DVD ROM drive But it still does not start.

    Note: It starts on the first run. When I restart the PC and try again to start from the DVD, it jumps the DVD playback. Same thing happens with the USB key. I tried all USB ports.

    Another time all USB ports too and this pen drive work well and the DVD. Don't know what the problem is.

    Please tell me is there any problem with the BIOS?

    Thank you.

    In each market, unless F9 (for most HP computers and laptops) is selected to change the order, BIOS will look on the bootable devices (USB HDD, ODD,) in the order that they are configured in the BIOS settings.

    A usb device is not in the list of the BIOS boot order, as it is generally not available and only temporarily inserted.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Satellite A25-S279 - Cant Boot From USB Drive

    Hello everyone. I'm new here.

    Is there anyway that I can boot from a hard disk on the A25 USB? In any case to update the BIOS to give me the option to boot from USB hard drive?

    I already went through the BIOS and used the HWsetup nothing helps.

    I want to run Linux on a mini-usb HDD, I just picked up, but I can't seem to boot from the USB connection.

    Please let me know.

    Hello

    You on the right, the BIOS supports a boot from the USB FDD.
    BUT it is not possible to boot from the USB HARD drive or USB key

    The BIOS offers these startup options:
    HDD, CD/DVD, LAN or USB FDD
