Boot USB drive

Good then this summer I messed up my macbook pro (don't remember the version etc because I bought it used). in any case, I removed my boot on a crash drive after that a representative was trying to help me. Now my macbook starts just to a screen with an exclamation mark and a folder. I read that I can use a usb key and reinstall OS x lion on it so I'll be able to boot my macbook. I was just wondering if I install it to the USB I have will continue to use the usb whenever I want to get my macbook?

If you're an installer of the USB or clone the operating system installed on the internal drive.

If you do manually put on the internal drive, Yes.

  • No boot USB drive without drive internal

    HP ProBook 6570b (B6P79EA)

    Hello

    Initially, I wanted to replace the internal hard drive (Hitachi) by a cloned SSD.
    That did not work. The DSS did not recognize as bootable. "No found boot device."

    Then I tried to use the SSD as an external USB drive.
    The laptop boot from the external SSD!
    (with the drive hard internal in place).

    But when I REMOVED the internal drive, the laptop does NOT start more USB - external SSD. (The bios boot order has been set to "first USB drive '")

    Beats me.

    Why the laptop can not do without the original disk internal?  (A kind of strange love :-))

    Solved.

    It turned out that there is a MBR problem with the cloned disk.

    I suppose I could have found more quickly.

    What made the opaque situation, was the erratic behavior of some usb drives.

    Sometimes they did start, sometimes not. I have to check this.

    Now, the laptop works fine.  Due to the SSD and the embedded video, there is no heat and

    virtually no fan movement. Absolute silence. I love this machine.

  • 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

  • Unable to set USB drive as first boot on my Satellite A60 device

    I have an A60 which CD/DVD does not work. I want to reinstall windows XP from a USB key (I know it's possible) but impossible to define the sequence in the BIOS to boot from USB.

    IT shows me boot form HDD, drive to floppy or CD that is not working and I don't have a floppy or another.

    Help, please

    I'm sure that on Satellite A60 boot USB is not supported. As much as I know it is possible on new laptops but not on this old model.

    Now the question: How do you know that something like this is possible? I really want to learn something new.

    You can also connect external HARD as for some other PC disk and copy the I386 folder on second partition. Put the HARD drive in the laptop and try to start the installation from there. The stupid thing is that you need floppy drive to get there.

    Sorry, but I'm afraid that without floppy drive you will not be able to do anything.

    Boot Mode UEFI is where you were mistaken. You will need to attach it to Legacy to boot from USB drive and restore your backup, UEFI will happen to return to Windows (according to Acer).

    Your USB flash is bootable, however it does not contain your actual backup (disk image) files. If you did your USB bootable after backup, well, your backup went, as in the process of making a USB flash drive bootable, that the drive is wiped.

    I would suggest to update your Bios, the direct download of the here are more late (2.15).

    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.

  • Why do I need a memory NVRAM reset after boot USB?

    Sometimes, I want to test another version of OS X on an external USB drive. I can attach the disc, choose as a boot volume and restart. This part works fine.

    If I want to go back in the same way (choose the internal drive as the boot volume and reboot), it does not. What I usually see is a slow progress bar, which finally ends with the Recovery Wizard. Motorcycle boots never the internal drive.

    The only way to recover is to unplug the USB drive and reset the NVRM. Then the Mac boots again normally from disk internal, until I restart all restarting on the external drive.

    The Mac is a Mac Mini 2012 with the original disc of fusion installed. The internal drive is encrypted, but I had the same problem exactly one year before running Yosemite and try to El Capitan. The drive was not encrypted. Also, I used another external drive.

    Did anyone see similar questions? Is there any solution for this?

    There are two ways:

  • El Capitan - Ext. USB Drive not mounting

    Since the upgrade to El Capitan, I have not been able to access my external USB drive. I read the other posts about this problem and none of their solutions worked for me. Through repeated trial and error, I came across a solution that allowed me to access my USB drive in El Capitan. By attaching a USB hub to USB port and your device your drive should become accessible. Depending on what type of car you join you may need a powered hub. I enclose a mSATA drive to a hub powered and well.

    Hi Bob, there.

    Looks like you're having connect your USB drive to a hub so that it works with your computer. I would reset your PRAM then your SMC in this order:

    How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac.

    Then:

    Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If the problem persists after that I have would then start in safe mode to clear some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary:

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    Once you log in safe mode, reboot normally and try again the reader. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, let us know how it goes.

  • Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

    Hello

    I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
    Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
    I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

    After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
    "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
    Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

    What can I do now? Help, please.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
    You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

    I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

  • Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

    Hi all!

    I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
    My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

    So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

    Thank you in advance.

    I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

  • USB drive not readable on the Satellite A665-13W

    Hello

    I have the following problem. I have Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 64 GB (USB 3.0) by car and it is perfectly readable on other PCs without worrying if I connect it to the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports.

    The device is detected in Windows 7 64-bit on Toshiba Satellite A665-13W and I see it in Device Manager. He invites me to open the disk E: (NTFS volume), but it looks empty when I open it in Explorer Windows with a certain delay when Explorer seems to scan drive.

    I see some errors in the event viewer such as:
    Event ID 11: driver has detected an error in the controller on \Device\Harddisk1\DR2

    But when I connect for example Patriot 8 GB USB drive it works without problem. When I boot Windows 7 in safe mode, the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 64 GB drive is connected, and I can read it.

    What should I do to make it readable without going into safe mode?

    I have the latest BIOS 2.30, I tried to enable/disable USB legacy support, I tried the fast/normal startup, I tried to install the latest Intel Chipset drivers, I tried all USB ports, including one that can be used as eSATA port, but without success. I also uninstalled the recognized device driver and let Windows detect the device again and reinstall the driver, but also without success. I also disabled power management option to disable device, without success.

    When I start in normal mode, I can't read NTFS volume. When I boot in safe mode I can read. The USB works on other PC in normal mode. Old USB 2.0 USB key works in normal mode. Strange. It must be a firmware problem or driver in my opinion. If it is a hardware problem or device the device would not work in safe mode!

    Are USB 3.0 64 GB of storage devices that are compatible with Toshiba laptops with USB 2.0 ports?

    There could be a problem of compatibility between the USB controller and the USB key.
    This compatibility questions aren't unusual.

    But I m wondering if you could try to fix this in the other direction:
    First check to see if the USB flash memory stick would appear in disk management

    Panel-> management-> disk management computer

    Here you will see all the partitions on the HARD disk and the USB connected.
    Check if you can format the USB key once more.

    If the USB does not appear here, try this method:
    Start the console by typing CMD
    Then type the command: diskpart and press enter
    Now, type command: automount enable and press enter

    Now, close all windows and restart the laptop.
