  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.

  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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• How to boot from a usb on Satellite A500-o25 flash drive

  How you configure boot on A500-o25 order, so that it starts from USB first.

  Hello

  Enter the Bios by pressing F2 at startup, go to the start menu and choose the USB drive as first boot device (you navigate with the F5 and F6 keys). Press F10, and... Save and exit menu, is displayed, press ok. That's all.

• Re: Boot from external USB HARD drive Toshiba 320 GB (MK3259GSX)

  I have PC (Windows7, SATA HDD, without CD/DVD drive), netbook and Toshiba External USB HDD 320 GB (MK3259GSX). Can I boot from the USB HDD? (to install OS or diagnostic tools like Memtest, MHDD etc..)

  I tried:
  1 format USB HDD, create the FAT32 partition and make active, copy the files, for example, ISO image of Windows 7 (I also tried bootsect/nt60), but when I reboot and choose from the menu of boot USB HDD it stops after "Verifying DMI pool data".
  2 Grub4dos (http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page), but also had nothing after verifying DMI pool Data given.
  3. If you want to install Windows 7, I tried this tool, http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool, but it did not find my USB HDD.

  Sorry for my English.

  Anyway, is unclear to me that you can use this disk external DRIVE for the installation of the OS?

• ENVY of HP dv6-7246us SSD Upgrade, problem Windows 7 installation with boot from a usb/dvd drive.

  Hi all

  I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you

  Robert

  Hi, Robert:

  Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

  I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

• How do I change my USB Flash drive from a hard drive to a removable disk

  Been having a lot of problems with my laptop lately, then I'm just trying to move some basic data (music, photos, etc.) my laptop on my desk. When I initially plugged my Flash drive (brand new, no problems with it, was sold yesterday. 16 GB) on my laptop, it installed the drivers successfully but no it has not assigned a drive letter. After going to management records and trying to assign it a letter, he would enter an error code. So I grew up diskpart.exe and assigned a drive letter that elsewhere, BUT, for some reason, he now thinks it's a partitioned hard disk drive and I can't eject it (and therefore, it will not save anything when I unplug it).

  When I plug the drive in my desktop, everything works perfectly fine. He acknowledges as a drive Removable and all. I even formatted it on my desktop (with 'quick format' unchecked) yet when I plug in my laptop, it has the same files on it as before when it was plugged into my laptop.

  To plug into my office and loading upward from diskpart, after typing the volume from the list and pressing on enter, I have noticed that my office it lists as "Removable" type (when I do this on my laptop, it lists as "Score" type) so how can I change to a removable drive?

  EDIT: Looking in the "Disk management" folder in "Computer management", it shows my flash drive in the framework of the "disk 0" and my C drive and it lists as "Primary Partitions.
  Below, under "Disk 1" it shows my removable disk, but when I right click it, and then click on "Change Drive Letter and paths...". «it comes up with an error stating ' operation failed to complete because the disk management console view is not updated.» Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists, close the disk management console, then restart disk management or restart the computer. »
  (I updated using the update task, I close the restart disk management console, as well as restarted my computer.) Nothing works)

  The most frustrating thing is that I have a small 1 GB flash drive and it works completely and perfectly fine on my laptop.

  The answer this question (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/error-disk-management-console-view-is-not-up-to/e96ccbf9-0f6e-40ce-999f-4da4e05d7704) actually solved my problem. Thanks for your time though!

• Is there an adapter that can download media (pictures, videos, music, etc.) directly from a USB Flash drive?

  I've been looking around for an adapter that I can download my flash drive on my iPad media, but can't seem to find one that will do more than just photos and videos. Any suggestions?

  This is because it does not exist.

  the closest you can come is something like the WiDrive of Kingston (or similar devices) that create a hotspot located to connect your iPad to transfer files. Then use a soft to do the transfer.

  The ipad is not a file manager program, so when you plug a USB medium the ipad knows not what to do with it. It was only scheduled to import photos or videos that follow a very specific naming structure.
