Force a program from a USB?

Hello! First of all, let me be clear - I'm not asking this to do anything malicious. I understand the reason why microsoft disabled autorun in the first place.

I have a program that I made myself to launch several portable applications on a new USB key, I bought (a word processor and an antivirus). However, the autorun.inf won't run on windows 7, so I'm stuck. I don't want to activate autorun, because I want to be able to use this hard drive at work and other places where I can't change this setting.
If I had to format my Flash drive as a boot device as described here - http://www.support.com/blog/post/how-turn-your-usb-flash-drive-bootable-media
Autorun would work? I don't know if the drive is formatted like a cd, it will work, but I can't figure out how!
Thanks for any help!

Hello

Yes, you are right, Windows 7 can't stand the autorun.inf in USB drives to prevent malware being loaded from USB keys.
Please refer to this topic.
Hope this information helps. If you have another issue with Windows, we would be happy to help you.

  • 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

  • Ability to burn a DVD with factory WIN7 Pro 64 from a USB?

    Recently bought a Compaq Elite 8200 SFF, after a few hours of use that I urged to create a WIN7 DVD factory as soon as possible. Had only DVD - RW empty records at the time (not good to burn the file WIN7), so I chose the alternative of the installfile from the factory on a USB and burn the DVD from the USB key later. My 8 GB key was little short KB of space, so I used a key to 32 GB... However, this does not work, the file WIN7 does not appear on the USB key (even if I enable hidden files). Maybe something was wrong, during the copy process because I can not boot from USB with the factory alleged WIN7 version, however, check the USB shows that about 8 GB of space (corresponding roughly to the drive WIN7 factory) is "occupied" by something. I´d like to use the 32 GB key for other purposes. However, the files on the USB factory settings are corrupt, or it is not possible to make a DVD (license problems?) once the default WIN7 was copied on the USB key? Any ideas?

    Hello:

    Unless your specific PC came with a bunch of software such as MS Office 2010 that you paid for a license and other software, all you really need is to be able to reinstall windows 7 on a new hard drive or your existing, correct?

    All drivers and most of the software except for CD and DVD burning programs are on the support page and driver Elite SFF 8200.

    So, all this...

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

    You can then get a portable hard drive and after installing all of your programs and drivers, etc., you can use the windows backup tool 7 and create a system image that you store on your portable hard drive. You can update this image any time you want and if you need to reinstall the operating system for a reason, you plug your storage device USB with the backup to this topic image, you use the W7 DVD do you, boot from it, select Repair in the lower left corner of the Setup screen , select restore backup, that it points to your image on the device of portable storage and you go.

    Worst case scenario, is that you will always have your installation of W7 plain DVD you did, which will install on any size of HARD, including an SSD drive.

    You can test that the DVD you made work by starting her and just do not proceed with the installation.

    BTW, you can install up to 32 GB of memory in your PC.

  • Is it possible to create a full dump from a USB on windows XP?

    I'm going to design a program to create a dump of the memory from a USB key in a dump on windows XP file.  Linux has a tool that does this automatically, and I thought I could save time if Windows has one as well.  The USB key is filled with unreadable bits that I need to read the information of real memory little by little.

  • Run Windows, classic VB and Office from a USB?

    I have an old computer with a noisy hard drive. Rather than replace the hard drive, I wonder if I can just install a version of Windows, VB 6.0 (classic), and Word and Excel 2000 on a thumb drive and run from there.

    Everything I do with it runs a simple VB program that opens and focuses on Word and Excel files. Everything works fine now - except for the horrible groan in the hard drive.

    I have discs for Win 98SE, 2000 and XP. (VB and office, too, of course.) Will one of these boot OSs and run Office and VB from a USB?

    Ed

    Here's the thing, Ed. Although it is possible to run XP on a USB key in some cases, it's probably not worth. For more information, read this article:

    http://articles.TechRepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html

    So that it works, not only do you need to use the right type of USB, but also your PC must support booting from a flash drive. And given that your PC is old, I doubt that.

    If the PC is perhaps old, you can simply buy a new one; they are very affordable. Or you can replace the hard drive. You can physically remove in order to identify it (or use the Device Manager). Then Google to determine a suitable replacement. Newegg is a good source for hard disks.

  • How to transfer files and programs from old pc to new pc w/windows 7?

    How can I transfer my files, data, & programs from old pc to new pc windows 7?

    You can use the program built into Windows easy transfer of files. You can transfer the network drive or USB transfer cable.

    However, your programs will be transferred not on, only your files and settings. Your programs will need to be reinstalled by using the installation media (CD, etc.).
    Some programs can be transferred using the paid version of PCMover, a program designed for migration to new platforms.

    Hello

    We will determine if your PC can not even boot from USB devices.  Plug the USB and turn on your PC.  When you get to the HP splash screen, then start typing the escape key to bring up a boot selection menu. If you do not see the USB device then your PC can't boot from a USB device.

    If your PC does support booting from a USB device and then read this MS post article.

    You always have the option to start Windows Defender from a CD or a DVD.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • How can I move programs from C to E?

    my C drive is nearly full, but my E drive is empty. I can (and how) move programs from C to E?

    Hello

    Installed software/programs can be moved easily using copy / paste.

    You can move the files to stand alone as images, documents, mp3, movies, etc. C to E, but if you move the folder of the program in the other place, the software would not start.
    So I recommend to increase the C partition.
    But before you'd change anything on the HARD drive, you must create the recovery disk.

    So, you can increase the partition C to E C space.
    For this, you need a tool of partitions, I use free software called GParted.
