  • It is possible to boot on the usb port?

    Hi all

    I would like to know if it is possible to boot on the usb port? I have this message "NTDRL is missing" at the start, I guess I have to reinstall Windows on the machine?

    Furthermore, I would also like to sell my laptop (configuration: 1, 00 G/2 X 256 PM / 40 G/12XT/LM/W). How could I wait fot his laptop? Where can I sell it (it's so hard to sell such a laptop).

    Thank you very much for all your answers...

    Hello

    When you get this message it means that the file Command.com has not been found. Or because he is missing from the boot drive, or your startup drive does not work. The file could also be destroyed because of a mistake. Command.com is used on versions of Windows that load on the BACK as Windows 3.0, 95, 98 and me. Command.com is not used on NT, 2000, XP. They use the NTDRL file to load. The BIOS reads the start section of the reader to know what file to load. If the system is on the NT platform and you get this error, then the boot sector is damaged or the hard disk is damage.

    Well, you write t n what kind of phone it is. How will I know that means this unit cost? I put t know this model.

    Nevertheless, you should check the prices on Ebay.

  • Not possible to boot from the CD after installing Win XP on Tecra A3

    Hi all

    I can't boot from the CD more? I tried following things:
    -J' used several CDs to boot from, such as Windows XP, other CD CD WinXP or UBCD (ultimate Boot CD) and others to boot from.
    -J' chose in the start menu and the Bios first, the CD player must be started from.
    -Disabled the HARD, the LAN and the FDD drive so that only the CD must be started from, nothing else.
    -Press F12 after start-up und selected CD to boot from.
    -removed the battery
    -removed the disk drive HARD that the CD is only peripheral to start.
    -No available recovery disk.
    * Result: Always at top left corner a cursor flashing on a black ecran.*

    My story to this problem/question.
    -J' reinstalled Windows XP after the system became slow, with SP2 and SP3.
    -During the installation of SP3 and at the same time other pilot the system crashed.
    -Pressing F8 after starting, I can choose the Options to win.
    -System running days, several days without any reaction.
    -Sometimes, it goes into "secure mode" and freezes, no entry or possible reaction.

    I want to install Windows XP again from the CD and a clean version to work on.
    That means no two were leaving to work on alone.

    Can someone tell me why the CD player is with any media ignored inside and no departure from them is possible?

    Thanks for your help

  • It is not possible to boot from the CD bootable on Satellite S5200-902

    Hello

    I have a Satellite S5200-902 and it was really good to use for me actually... Once I received a system error message and might start Windows more. Anyway... I tried to reinstall the OS, but I can't boot from the recovery CD. The CD is ok because I tried it on my other computer. I press F12 for the boot menu option it shows these items as HARD - disk drive - CD drive.

    I choose CD and nothing happens. He always tries to start from the HARD drive. I installed the Windows on the HD satellite on my other computer and it worked very well. He has installed the system but if I put the HD Toshiba Satellite does not start windows. It blocks the laptop.

    BIOS version is 1.30 and I don't know how to install and update the bios 1.8 or something on it, because I don't know how to install it without windows. I now have no idea how to go ahead?

    Can anyone here help me out please because I have no idea?
    Please someone help me ASAP because I need the laptop for work.
    Thank you

    Best regards.

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to know if you can boot from another CD, for example from the original CD of Microsoft.
    It s interesting because I would like to know if the drive of the laptop accept another CD.
    In my opinion, there is something wrong with the internal drive and so the laptop can not boot from the recovery CD.

  • Satellite T130 - 10G - how do I boot from the USB drive?

    I want to install Ubuntu in my laptop.

    Can someone help me?

    Hello

    You must use a USB bootable flash key.
    Then you could try to choose the USB key as device, press F12 when applying power in the start unit. Then a menu with bootable devices should appear.
    Then, you can use the arrow keys to choose the USB as a source of start-up.

  • Message from the USB port speed

    I have a laptop HP Compaq NW8240 running on W7 last month recently, I plugged in a USB USBHUB04 of Linksys hub. It works fine but when I plug a flashdrive in there, it displays a message in the lower task bar "this USB device can perform faster if you connect it to a hi-speed USB 2.0 port. Should I have a missing driver? I thought that all USB ports on this laptop was 2.0.

    Sorry that none of the steps that you took to remedy the problem.

    You did exactly what I would have done it, so unfortunately, I couldn't even begin to tell you what to do next.

    You may have to live with the status quo.

    I wonder if this is a false message...

    Your USB devices work more slowly than normal as a USB HARD drive or flash drive.

    Data transfer seems slower than you're used to?

  • NB510 - boot from the SD card?

    Hello

    I have a question related to booting from SD cards.
    As my NB510 has no optical device, I thought to use an SD with Linux on it to boot from.

    The reason is that sometimes I need Linux and I don't wan to lose my Windows partition or another partition of my HDD with a 2nd OS.

    My experience is that more than one OS at a disk always causes unnecessary trouble.
    Unfortunately, it seems that the NB510 does not boot from the SD card.

    I created it with the Toshiba SD Memory Format Utility and "UNetbootin" to create a card with the last OpenSUSE Linux.

    When, in from the laptop and press F2 (or F12), all available drives be filed - but not my SD card (Yes, it was inserted). BIOS Insyde H2O also doesn't seem to provide the SD card as boot drive.

    So is it possible to get my NB 510 booting from SD card?

    Greetings from the Germany

    Hello

    Why you boot from the USB flash key t n?
    As much as I know the NB510 support the start of disk HARD primary, Network (LAN), USB, USB HDD and USB WEIRD memory.

    If booting from USB is certainly possible.

  • 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)
