  Hello Stefen

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

  I'm not sure of the USB but I saw a short period in the electronic store that memory USB sticks with description Bootable. I have one and I can't give you a good answer to your question.

  Good luck!

• 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.

• 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.

  How I suppose at the start of the external DVD room provided with the laptop?

  The room-the model is PST4EL-00t00G. I checked the latest BIOS for this model, but it seems that there is no update to this BIOS.

  Thank you.

  > How I suppose at the start of the external DVD room provided with the laptop?

  Have you bought T230 already used and this external device was part of the package?
  When you start T230 and press F12 to get into the start menu are the same devices listed as bootable devices?

  To be honest, it's a little confusing because you should be able to create the recovery USB key and use the USB as a boot device (page user's manual 29).

• Can not boot from the disk external HARD on the Satellite L100-130

  My os is Windows XP Pro Family Edition, when I create an image with Acronis image treu, put the image on the old HARD drive.
  Restart boot cd/dvd en, my system won't see ex H.-D.

  How is that possible?

  Hello

  This question is not for the laptop manufacturer but for software producer.

  If you have two partitions copy this image to the second partition (D) and check if it is not visible. I do the same with the Norton Ghost image creator.

• 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 boot from USB - Portege A200

  Hello

  I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

  In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

  Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

  The options I can think of are:
  (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
  (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
  (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

  If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

  I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
  It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

  However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

  There are different reasons for this problem
  For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
  Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

  In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
  I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

  Good luck

• Portege S100: Boot from USB?

  Hi guys, hope someone can help me.

  I recently got a Portege S100 with a DVD player that does not work.
  I swapped the drive with a working one, but still no joy.

  I was informed that it probably means that the problem is with the motherboard and is not really worth it on such an old model.

  The person who gave me the laptop said the rest is fully functional.

  However, my main problem is that the laptop is provided with no OS on the HARD drive.

  I have the original Toshiba installation DVD, but of course I can't boot from it as the DVD player does not work. Is it possible to boot from an external USB drive on this model?

  I looked at the boot order in the bios and I don't see an option for her, but I could be wrong.
  I do not want to splash out on a new USB key if there is no hope of the Portege grateful it.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Have you had a glance at the user manual? Maybe he will mention the USB/Boot features.

  If you do not have the manual, you can download it from the site Web of Toshiba in the Drivers section.
