How do you get windows 8 to enable the flash drive be the bootable media?

I have a new (purchased on 11/02/13) computer Toshiba laptop I want to boot from a flash drive with tor/tails on it, but the computer laptop/windows 8, will not allow the flash player to start everything first, or never.

The BIOS has changed to make the USB boot first, but windows 8 support, without going through the flash player.

How can this be repaired?  What happens here?

Thank you

Michael

If it is not a setting in BIOS (or the need for a new flash BIOS), I don't really know. It used to be managed by the BIOS, but since the creation of Win8, who seems to have changed.

  • How can I get Windows 7 to recognize my NAS drive as a file server?

    I just bought a new desktop computer with Windows 7 (the first time I used it at home).  I have three drives NAS; one of them is an of Maxtor Central axis.  I use the Central axis as a file server, it has Word, Excel and other Office files in addition to my music library and a handful of videos.  Whenever I try to open a document, say Word, Windows 7 does not show the Maxtor under my network.  It shows one of the other drives NAS (Iomega).  When I right click on the network, click "Open in a new window", I see the Maxtor drive. However when I click on it, Windows will open Windows Media Player.  I see only three songs, which aren't even mine; I think they were samples placed on the disk by an application.

    Other machines on my network (a computer laptop PC and Mac) continue to be able to see the of Maxtor Central axis.

    I can open my documents giving the fully qualified network path "\\Mca-054e16\Public", but it's a pain.  I can't map a drive letter for the drive; I just get the small circle who constantly.

    How can I get Windows 7 see Maxtor Central Axis like a file server and not only a media server?

    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone may be able to provide,

    Nolan

    Hello

    ·        How do you set up the network?

    ·        Have you used a Maxtor software?

    I had to replace my hard drive, but how to get Windows Vista version licensed as was preinstalled on my broken drive?  Thank you

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    I want to test my Web site locally using the windows subst command to emulate the root of my site. It works perfectly with IE8 (except IE8 displays the different available to firefox) but does not work with Firefox. All images, sheets, styles and anything with a root path does not work. If I use a relative path (.. /.. / for example) to the objects that they works very well.

    How can I view web pages locally by using a path root of Web site?

    Firefox does not allow access to local files.

    It is always best to use relative addressing.

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.
