Mark a STOR E 1.8 as removable steel for bios/Windows

I have a 250 GB 1.8 usb Stor E drive steel. He is recognized as local hard drive (not also removable) in windows and my problem: also of the bios recognized as HARD drive which he declares as a second hard disk and not removable.

I want to be able to boot from it by making it a removable drive so that the bios recognizes the drive as "removable media" which is part of the boot sequence:
1. removable media
2 disc (boots of built on the HARD drive first)
3. initializing the network...

Eventually, it would be a success if I toggle the little removable media (RMB)? So that every system that I plug it recognize it as a removable (I hope). This hypothesis is correct?

---> Is there a utility from Toshiba to switch the RMB on the STOR E 1.8?

Summary:
My 1.8 is already bootable and works very well. Formatted NTFS which is a must for me. Any solution that needs fat is therefore not possible for me (I doubt it would work anyway). BIOS treats as HARD drive as opposed to a USB drive.

Thanks for any help

Found the HARD disk here.
http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/EU/store-external-hard-drives/steel-18/
It s a common USB2 SATA HDD

> I want to be able to boot from it by making it a removable disk
As far as I know boot from devices depends on the BIOS and not all laptops support boot from USB HDD. My laptop supports booting from USB, but only (no USB HDD) flash drive.

> Possibly it would be a success if I toggle the little removable media (RMB)? So that every system that I plug it recognize it as a removable (I hope). This hypothesis is correct?

Not sure about that. I know you can remove the forest of removable media USB keys but never tried to activate (if possible) on HDD USB but I used the tool called Lexar BootIt which could remove the RMB. There is an option called Flip removable Bit. Then the new partition on USB devices must be created

But the use of these tools is at your own risks such as mentioned, never tried him with a HDD USB but old key USB flash

    How to store the original and to remove some duplicate songs in iTunes on a PC Win7, which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    I recently had to format my hard drive and reinstall iTunes 12.3.2.35 on my Win7 PC. As part of the re - install iTunes, I clicked on the button scan for music.  This has created duplicates several of my songs.  I deleted then the duplicate songs from iTunes, but when I went to play a few songs a pop-up said "the song would not be because the original could not be found.  You want to locate? "When I tried to locate the song it is not found, but when I pulled the songs out of the trash they could be found.

    How can I keep the original and remove any duplicate songs in iTunes on PC Win7 which took place after iTunes to scan for music during a re - install?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

  • Can I safely remove old security updates Windows

    I have Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3. I checked my system under ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS and I have a lot of updates:

    Security updates and the updates for Microsoft Office 2007 products
    Security updates and updates for Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
    Security updates and updates for Microsoft Windows XP
    Security updates and the updates for Windows Media Center Edition 2005
    Various fixes
    Old Service Pack updates (Windows XP, Office, etc.).

    My Questions: Because they use a lot of space, one of these files are eliminated using Add / REMOVE PROGRAMS ? They don't are not already installed or removing them would make them not secure against threats that they were supposed to challenge?

    Thank you.

    I doubt they use all that much space (compared to your stuff) - and if you run lack of space - it is a different matter. a not better resolved by removing the updates/patches.  :-)

    Do not delete those using Add / Remove programs.  That would be, at best, careless.  To uninstall, so that updates are, do not remove the updates (updates would be removed automatically when you remove the product that they fixed.)

  • Satellite A55-S1065 - after removing the battery, BIOS ask me password

    So, something happened yesterday, and it seems to me that it is very strange.
    I have a portable Satellite A55-S1065. And while I was with power point, the
    computer crashes. In the midst of my confusion, I decided to delete
    the battery just to make him stop.

    So I did it and plugged it again
    and I tried to turn on the computer. Now, the bios ask me a password,
    but I've no idea what password it is that. Can someone help me solve this problem?
    IM really desperate to find a solution to this since this computer contain
    many of my works.

    Thank you very much.

    > After removing the battery, BIOS ask me password
    I know it may seem silly now, but I never heard of something like that. I use laptop for a long time and I had the experience with many others and strange question, but something like that, never.

    Problem is that we are dealing here in the public forum and BIOS password is a very sensitive area and very important security feature, so we can not write here about some illegal ways how you can remove the BIOS password.

    If there is no way to start your laptop, I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
    I'm sorry. :(

    Although I know that some companies still using Windows 2000, so...

    You're not real specific-, but the basic answer to your question is to find a list of the updates through the catalogue and download/save to some media.  Integrate as much as possible in support of installation that you plan to use after the date of 'dead' of the then 13 year operating system and several.

    Drivers are not the responsibility of Microsoft unless it happens to be Microsoft hardware.  Go through the manufacturer (and it is possble the manufacturer will be * no * drivers for older operating systems supply - like XP.)

    I have a linux operating system and I would like to remove it and install windows xp. I'm afraid that if I wipe the drive, I'll be unable to boot the windows xp disc. Is this true? What is the best way to remove the linux operating system and install windows xp?

    original title: HOW I CAN UNINSTALL LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM

    If there is absolutely nothing on the disk you want, just format the drive and install Windows XP:

    1. start from the CD. You may need to change the first boot to a CD device in the BIOS. To do this, when you switch on the look for a configuration message indicating what key to start typing, F2 and del are commonly used. The message appears for very long and it you miss, you have to restart the computer. In the BIOS, look for a section that contains the boot sequence, change it to CD, save it and let the computer to restart.

    2. the installation sequence is answering the message press any key to boot from the CD, and then press ENTER to set up Windows, press F8 to accept the EULA, delete the partition, press ENTER, type L to confirm delete, type C to create a partition, choose (Quick) format. Then begins the installation and restart will therefore ignore the subsequent message to press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.

    3. actual installation will begin and takes about 30 minutes. Finally, download all the missing Windows service packs and other updates.
