• Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hello

  Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

  It s already installed when you plug it in.

  See you soon

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

• Can I use a USB Flash drive?

  Windows XP Professional - SP3 - Version 2002

  Can I use a USB Flash drive to increase memory? My machine has 512 MB of RAM, and I have a 1.80 GHz CPU Celeron (r) processor.
  From what I've researched, because my OS is Windows XP and I have 512 MB of RAM, I cannot use a 4 GB Flash drive.
  I use a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and lots of sample packs and I have need of more memory. My machine is maxed out at 512 MB of RAM.
  If I buy a 4 GB Flash drive, can I load my DAW on the Flash drive and optimal storage space or should I buy a hard drive to accomplish my problem of not having enough memory?

  Thanks in advance!

  512 MB you should be fine for Windows XP. OK, the application may run more slowly than on a modern computer - but performance is reasonable.

  Like me, I have a computer with 1 linear array of 512 MB memory and a 128 MB memory chips - making the total up to almost 640MO - but I use Photoshop CS3 on it daily and it works fine for most tasks.

  However, if you want to get some further improvements to your computer for the RAM intensive applications performance, I would recommend increasing the virtual memory.

  More about memory virtual here-

  http://ask-Leo.com/what_is_virtual_memory.html

  To increase the virtual memory-

  Do a right click my computer > click Properties > Advanced tab > settings under 'Performance' button > Advanced tab in the performance Options window > change button under "virtual memory".

  Now select the custom size option.

  The options below, you can see some details like -

  Minimum allowed - XX MB

  Recommended - XXXX MB

  Currently allocated - XXXX MB

  Make sure that you set the value of initial size (MB) near the recommended space. The value of maximum size to a value much greater than currently allocated space. (But always value less than 2048 maximum size - you don't need that much).

  That could give some amount of performance increase - but he won't give you a magical boost of performance.

  Can't boot from USB on laptop Acer NC-V5-571. another boot enabled is bios, but and I tried to boot from usb DVD etc. (starting from things that works on other PCs. I've set USB and DVD as a priority higher from startup in the BIOS. I get the alternative start menu, choose DVD or USB, but it starts just Windows 8.

  I tried to boot from an external device in settings PC - general settings in the charming bar, but it starts off directly with Windows 8 too.  the DVD plays fine films, and if I plug the boot device dvd W8 sees them and their content because I expect too much.

  Any ideas on how to boot from another device.  I would like to take at least a decent backup using Acronis.

  Boot from an additional media under Windows 8, you will ensure that you have either disabled Secure Boot or changed to UEFI in the traditional mode.  The following articles describe how to do this.

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

• NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

  My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
  Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

  Operating system won't start.

  Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

  The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

  So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
  The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

  What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

  If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
  Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
  How to make this connection?

  Hello

  You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

  But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
  This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

  Pease check this Web page:

• Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook - boot from Usb Flash or optical drive

  I just this envy Touchsmart Ultrabook (14 inches) with 8 win and it works very well, but one thing that I can't make it work is to be able to boot from a USB stick or a cd usb player.  This system doesn't have a built-in optical drive.

  I changed the configuration Bios Boot UEFI for Legacy and also re arranged the boot order so the USB drives are before the internal hard drive.  I also tried to change setting USB 3 auto... still not able to boot from a usb device.

  Both the usb flash drive and cd drive to boot on my HP desktop and I recently tried the usb flash drive on a new laptop Lenovo comes with Win 8 and it worked.

  I need to do so that I could run my backup - Acronis True Image software.

  Any suggestions on what then try?  Thank you.

  Yours is a laptop very different mine - so this may not apply... but you can try what I posted here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/bios/m-p/2260991

• 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
