Can someone help me please?

Thank you

Hello

Try the following.

With the phone off, remove the USB key.  Press the Power button and immediately after, press on and hold the ESC key - if it launches the start menu?  If so, you should see the option to select the boot device (often f9 to display the start menu).

Kind regards

  • 700 - 147C envy: cannot change bios to boot from backup USB Acronis. Startup command problem

    I tried to boot from my USB Acronis boot device to clone my C: drive to another HARD drive, but I was unable to set the boot order (first USB) because it keeps resetting & put the USB back where it was before.  I've done this before without problem; I wanted to boot from an external USB Acronis rescue disk & run the procedure to clone of it. The USB is listed in the startup as list "Sandisk Cruzer 1.27 & it's the ISO boot Acronis on this file but I failed to get the pc to boot from it.» (not this time in any case). After a needless frustration 3 hours I ran successfully clone of C: drive procedure.  I checked the clone by disconnecting the source & boot from it, but it works "BOOT PXE ON IPV4 followed by PXE BOOT ON IPV6 before it starts the clone. The startup disk is listed before the lines of IPV in the bios then why what is happening?  I disabled the 2 procedures of IPV with F5 & now it starts normally, but I do not consider this problem solved, because I have not yet able to boot from USB & I don't know why I had to disable these 2 lines.

    Addendum: I revisited the right bios & reactivated 2 disabled lines & it is now booting properly, no nonsense IPV. Go figure.

    Help!

    I've seen similar problems before.  I solved me my clearing the CMOS and then start with only a UEFI (the main HD) compatible device. After that the problem had gone away, I reconnected it and then my other active UEFI device.

  • Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

    Hello

    I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

    I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

    The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
    This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

    Any help would be great,

    Thank you

    Hello

    Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
    As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
    So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

    Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

    Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
    It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
    I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.

  • Pavilioin P6710f: Changing Bios then boot from a USB flash drive

    How can I update my bios to enable booting from a USB Flash drive. My bios is American Megatrends 6.07, 04/05/2011 and the only options are CD, hard disk, floppy. Is there a way to change this? To test the Windows 10 repair disk I created, my system froze to the blue screen "choose" keyboard layout. I couldn't use the usb mouse or usb keyboard. As a result, I had to restore my system to windows 7 using my Norton Ghost recovery disk and backups that I had done before downloading windows 10.

    After the opening of the bios and clicking on the hard drive by default, I found that I had a choice, including the USB Flash drive that I have pugged just forward to restart. This answered my question. Thanks to everyone for their contribution. It was not necessary to Flash the bios after all.

    I need to set the BIOS to boot from a usb key. The options in the BIOS are
    BOOT CD-ROM
    Startup disk
    Internal network card

    And in the boot order:
    USB disk on key/USB hard drive

    Portable hard drive

    USB floppy drive
    Internal CD/DVD drive

    ! Network adapter (but it says that the ability to start will be disabled if the device is marked with an exclamation point, which, in my case, it is)

    A question who should I set to boot from a usb flash drive which has the operating system that you want to install Windows?

    I tried boot F9 options, but it gives me two options:
    Portable hard drive
    CD/DVD drive.
    No drive Flash Drive or USB in the list options.

    Then he said: press F10 for BIOS Setup Options. That's why I'm trying to see what to implement as boot device in the BIOS boot options.

  • L512 cannot boot from a USB flash drive

    I just got a brand-new L512 (model 4444-CTO) and I am trying to boot from a USB key, but it does not work. I changed the boot order in the BIOS, I tried to use F12 to bring up the boot order (which does not have the listed USB option), I tried different USB ports and nothing works.

    One thing I noticed, is that on startup command BIOS screen, the entry is listed as: "-USB HDD. No other entries (including USB CDROM and USB FDD) signed a minus in front of them. USB is enabled. I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS.

    Anyone have an idea what might happen?

    And now, all of a sudden it works. The only difference I see is that I did a hard reboot instead of soft, but I thought I had already done that also. Well.

  • Why I can't boot from a USB?

    Hello

    Why I can't boot from a USB?   I'm looking to replace a failed hard drive in a Mac Mini 2010. I replaced the hard drive without difficulty.

    I have a USB flash drive from known good 10.10.5 with an Installer (tested) well known about it.   I press the power switch, as soon as the startup chime plays, I press the Option (Alt) key.

    One of the two following situations occurs. Sometimes, I have a small screen asking me to enter my password Wi - Fi. I get my password and nothing else happens. Sometimes, I get a flashing "?" on a file folder.  In my view, this indicates that the computer cannot find a bootable disc. I've tried resetting the PRAM, but I do not have the sound of the double ring that I was expecting.

    Once a Mac is longer than 4 years, his PRAM Battery should replace before resetting the PRAM actually works.

    Is this USB Flash drive "slipstreamed.  It works on any other older than 10.10.5 Mac?

    What is a copy from another Mac or Mac Mini itself 10.10.5 clone?

    Plug you directly into the USB port of the Mac Mini, or using a hub which is powered wall?

  • Satellite M40 - 244--> Boot from a USB

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite m40-244 with a DVD player which unfortunately is out of service.

    I would like to know if it is possible to boot from a USB key to reinstall Windows or Linux. In the BIOS there only HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive options.

    Does anyone know how to boot from a USB? I tried an external USB DVD drive, it does not work. I don't know if I'm doing the right way.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As far as I know that of not possible because the M40 BIOS does not support this!
    As you mentioned in your ad; There is only one option for booting from the HARD drive, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)

  • Satellite U400-10j - how to boot from a USB flash drive?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.

    I have Ubuntu on my USB flash drive, now I want to boot from it.

    I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

    Second, I noticed that the phone also has an internal memory card reader.
    I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
    The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
    In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

    And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB?

    I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand...

    Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40.

    Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible?

    Thank you.

    L.

    Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN)
    Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(

    But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n.
    Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?

    If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition.
    To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.

    Only you can boot from the drive from the external USB floppy drive or CD/DVD compatible external USB.

  • How to boot from a USB - Portege R500 flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, presented about 2 years ago and recently contracted a virus that has infected some of the startup files as the minute I connect it disconnects again, even in SafeMode! The quickest way I can think sorting is to reformat with the XP Recovery disk and reinstall windows.

    Problem! The CD/DVD drive on the computer laptop stopped working earlier, tried almost everything in the thread on this site, but had no luck.

    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it this way. However in the boot parameters I only have the options of HARD drive / floppy drive / CD-ROM / LAN, none of them work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hello

    As far as I know, it should be possible to boot from USB FDD

    I don't know if you would be able to boot from a USB flash drive, but it of certainly worth a try m

    Generally, you can try to press the F12 key when the laptop is turned on.
    A start menu should appear on the screen, then you should see all bootable devices.

    PS: as far as I know the USB startup was available in ToshibaHWSetup (tool of Toshiba which changes the settings of the BIOS under windows OS.) So I guess boot from USB must be possible.

  • Qosmio G20: Possible boot from a USB device?

    Dear all,

    I am writing for you good people was whether it is possible to start a Qosmio G20 via a connected USB device, an external hard drive.

    I wonder if it is taken in charge (or tolerable) within the limits of the current Qosmio G20 BIOS and/or if any could attempt on my part to make taken in charge (i.e. are there buttons I can push levers, I can pull or numbers I can play to get there).

    The reason why I have is that my laptop has a multitude of technical difficulties that point to the hardware failure, among them a vertical line on my screen and a problem with my optical drive, making it impossible for me to write a CD or DVD.

    In the unlikely event that the good folks at Toshiba support are forced to replace the hard drive (or the system) it would be nice to have a way to restore the system to its current configuration (in this sense, I'm looking for a way to create my own bootable recovery disc produced) however the lack of functionality in the Department of optical drive ties my hands a little (I can't create a recovery of) product custom CD/DVD but I might create a product on my external HARD drive recovery partition).

    Thus, it would be useful to be able to boot from a USB, not essential of course as any disk image could be comfortably written to disk through my soon-to-be renovated system (of course it would be quicker to start just by the USB bus and avoid all this nonsense).

    Sincere greetings,
    Lee Hyde.

    Hello

    I am sorry to say that you will not be able to boot from the external USB HDD. The BIOS does not support this feature.
    According to different threads here in the support of forum Toshiba Qosmio G20 BIOS supports these devices to start:
    Floppy USB drive, 1st/2nd HDD, ODD, network (LAN)

    As you can see it s possible to floppy USB FDD but not the USB external HDD
