• How to transfer pictures from the flash drive for PC

  Uploading images to a flash drive

  a friend gave us a flash player that has pictures on it. I plugged it in and it turns on but I get nothing on my screen says thast there download or anything like that. How can I get my photos once they are uploaded?

  They don't automatically upload. In some versions of Windows, when you insert any type of removable drive (flash disk, CD, DVD, etc.) you will get a dialog box asking what you want to do with the content. I find it quite annoying, but, in this case, it would be useful, because then you can choose from various options that may include any software you have to display the photos.
   
  As this did not happen, press the Windows key + E to open Windows Explorer, click Folders in the menu to display the folders pane, then click the icon that represents the flash player. You should see (depending on your display options), a list of the icons or thumbnails of the photos. Try a double-click on one to see if some kind of viewer opens (for example, if you have a recent version of the installed office and they are JPEG files, they will probably open in Microsoft Office Picture Manager). If this isn't the case, right click on one and choose open with. You can have a few viable options listed; If this is not the case, click on choose program... and select a probable from the list in the dialog box that opens.
   
  Note that this will only display the photos; they are still on the flash drive. To copy them to your hard drive, you will need to drag them from the flash drive into a folder on your hard drive.

• Boot from the 2nd drive HARD modular bay adapter (satellite P20)

  Hello

  I have a SP20-102 and I replaced the stock model with a 120 GB Seagate HDD and moved the original disc in a Module Bay HDD adapter.

  Is it possible to configure things so I can choose which HARD drive to boot from at the start, i.e. it is by default on the internal HARD drive but I can't choose to boot from the HARD drive in the modular Bay?

  I tried pressing F12 to boot device selection screen, but am unable to choose the 2nd HARD drive.

  Any ideas?

  Hello Robin

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD drive. It is not supported.

• Can't boot from USB Flash Drive on Yoga 13

  I had a USB bootable with linux on it live and I tested it it works on another computer but I can't get my Yoga to boot from it. I wet to settings-> General-> advanced startup and then I clicked on the option USB but the computer is restarted, he said that there is no bootable USB devices. Someone able to boot from a flash drive?

  Hello and welcome,

  What linux distro do you use, and it is able to start on a UEFI system?

  I'm guessing here since I don't have a machine like yours, but I guess that BIOS refuses to see the USB if it doesn't have an appropriate structure of UEFI boot on it.

  You may be able to start the flash player by accessing the BIOS and setting the mode of inheritance.

• Deleting files from the Flash drive

  I have a Sandisk Cruzer Edge 16 GB Flash Drive.  I use it with two computers, an iMac and a Macbook Air, both using OS X 10.8.2.  Recently, I loaded about 10 GB of files on it.  I have now deleted these files.  However, Finder always shows the Flash drive as carrying 10.8 GB of files and having only 5,2 GB of available.  When I try to record a 10 GB file on the Flash drive, I get a message saying that there is not enough available space.

  How can I delete uploaded files from the Flash drive so that I can reuse the whole 16 GB?

  I don't use a Mac, so I'm going off the coast of the memory of what I read here before, but I think you need to empty your trash, while the disc is still connected to your Mac.

  It's one of the problems, the bios, the parameter does not have the ability to boot from the CD/DVD.

  There are only three choices:

  start from laptop, multibay

  boot from the hard drive to laptop or computer ethernet startup.

  I also have uppdated the bios, but nothing changes.

  'Notebook multibay shoes' should work - the CD is installed in the multi-baies slot.

• Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

  Hey all,.

  I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

  Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

  I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

  The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

  I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

  When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

  What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

  Help!

  Hi Jamie,

  Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

  If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

  Kind regards

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly.
