NB100 - Recovery vs iso from usb DVD
Hello!
I bought Toshiba NB100 with pre-installed XP Home Edition and now I want to reinstall it using Toshiba Recovery DVD I got with the netbook.
The problem is that I have no DVD player in this laptop and I don't want to buy a scanner of the Clerkship - here's what I did to start an iso image of this dvd from USB:
1. first of all, I did an iso image of the recovery DVD Toshiba using UltraISO app (and called it TOSHIBA.iso) - I checked the image in one of the virtual machines: all went well so I think the image is ok
2. I used GRUB4DOS app to make my folder of grldr bootable, copied to usb stick to the root of my USB catalogue, created from images of boot/path/and copied it my TOSHIBA.iso image and created the menu.lst looking like this:
TOSHIBA recovery DVD title
find--set-root /boot/images/TOSHIBA.iso
map - mem /boot/images/TOSHIBA.iso (hd32)
map - hook
chainloader (hd32)
rootnoverify (hd32)
The menu.lst file has been placed in the catalogue of the root of the USB.
3 then I rebooted netbook, changing the order of startup in the BIOS and GRUB was loaded with option of TOSHIBA Recovery DVD - but when I chose him, after the ISO is loaded into memory, I get GRUB error 19 with the message "can not mount selected partition".
I would be very grateful if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Kind regards
Artur
Hey Artur thank you very much
It's a very useful experience and I hope that other NB100 owners will be happy to read your thread.
Thanks again and I hope you say with us and help other NB100 owners with advice and tips.
BTW:
You can now install from USB recovery image?
Do you use the compatibility mode or it works with AHCI mode also?

HP Pavilion X 2: HP Pavilion XP cannot read data from USB DVDs
We bought a HP 10-ND200ND (HP pavilion X 2) in the Mediamarkt and tried to install Microsoft Office from a DVD via a DVD USB Samsung player. This was not possible. According to Support Mediamarkt this product is a Tablet and so cannot read data DVD´s. Only General to play music. To buy a laptop computer for this application. The operating system is Windows 10 (32 bit). Is that correct. Please advice.
Hi Banhien, the cause is known. I have seen other comments on the HP forum and concluded that the reader needs more power than is available through the USB connector of. I added a hub that can provide power to its connectors USB, HP X 2, by car and the problem has been resolved! It was noted that the mini USB is also more powerful and with the type of adapter USB USB C it might also work, but I did not test this, because I do not have such an adapter. It's odd that such a mini can provide more power. It is surprising that the HP Pavilion X 2 does not have a powerful USB. But the problem is solved. Thanks for your response! Best regards, wiely

Boot from USB DVD on Lenovo X121e
Hi, any idea how to boot from a recovery disk from Lenovo for Windows 7 on a USB stick on DVD player? The laptop is running cannot run from the Linux operating system. The BIOS utility does not recognize the drive no matter what I select in the start menu (USB, CD, USB FDD or USB HDD) and the F12 boot utility also does not recognize the drive. Incidentally, F12 recognizes the Linux USB drive so I know it works. The external drive is a Leicke DVD R/RW DVD.
The reason for wanting to boot from the Windows 7 recovery drive is to reinstall Win 7 on a new installation, dual boot Linux (Mint), and then install iTunes on WIn 7so I can sync to my iPhone and run everything in Linux. I tried to use an emulator under Linux but unsucessfully Win.
I noticed that this question was asked IO a few years by another Member, but no resolution. Thanks, Nik
Hello
in order to perform a recovery of the factory of the Lenovo image BIOS Setup menu settings should be:
-"Boot UEFI/Legacy"-> "both".
-"UEFI/Legacy Boot Priority"-> "Legacy first.Select CD USB as a bootable drive.

Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10
Hello
the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)
Thank you
Luke
Hello
Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.
It s already installed when you plug it in.
See you soon

How to boot from USB DVD Rom on Y500 with SLI?
I have problems starting a DVD from my laptop Y500 SLI. The DVD - RW rom is connected by USB and I do not see in the BIOS, but boot USB is enabled. Is it possible for a start of it on the y500 with sli? How? When I turn on the laptop that I can hear the cd loading, but it still goes to windows.
Hi September,.
Ishaan is correct since only today, I managed to get my hands on a Y500 to test. I have to admit that the Y500 is a great machine to own :-D
In any case, with regard to get this to work, you will need to go into BIOS.
To start the BIOS configuration utility:
1 turn off the computer.
2 press the Novo button (small button with the curved arrow, located next to the receptacle) and select Configuration of the BIOS.> Go to the tab "BOOT".
> Under"Boot" change into "Legacy support".
> Press F10 and save the setting.
> Machine will restart and boot press F12
> When the boot menu appears, select desired boot.Hope this helps and post your results.

Hi people,
Recently my laptop w8 shared with my brother get sick. So I decided to get out the trusty old diagnosis
USB and dvd, you know, ubcd centos ophrack. Much to my dismay, I couldn't start any of them. So after some faffing
everything on the net, I was able to boot/secure boot / disabled, which meant I could f12 at startup in the Boot Manager.
Unfortunately, the drama is over. Kindly listed boot manager internal hard drive, but not bootable usb or dvd connected. so I thought, I'm going to be cunning and change the boot order of start. Yet once the monster of Bios Acer jeeringly laughed at my attempts to
take control of the material, I dared try control simply because I happened to pay a substantial amount of money to acer.
So, it seems, the only option I have left to change is boot/boot mode / (boot uefi/legacy). So what I need to change to restore the boot control, is to change legacy BIOS uefi? Who will install the w8 cack?
Also what happens if I want to replace the hard drive with an ssd in the near future, is not not to work?
Oh, I tried to get help from the enamel of acer, their response said essentially bios/uefi is isn't a problem acer because it is sw and realized
What seemed like a pay per minute service.
Skills of good customer Acer.
Any help appreciated,

Acer Aspire V5 - 122P: Windows 8 Local password recovery or boot from USB
Hello world
Really need help. I fear that I will lose all my data on my hard disk to get my computer working again.
I don't know how, but somehow the password to logon Windows 8 was changed. I can't do anything even if I'm in the advanced recovery options.
I created a USB key to book my V5 Aspire 122P, but I cannot book from the USB key.
I have not created a password reset disk in advance.
I chose the option to rest my pc while keeping my data, but windows 8 still asks for the password and does not accept the password that has always worked for me.
Really scared... If I lose all my data.
Well want to can someone help?
Abrar
I got myself to solve my problem. It would be very useful for someone else, which is why the announcement of the update:
1. first click on the SIFT-restart, I went advanced options and refreshed my pc while keeping my data.
2. This allowed me somehow, in advanced options, I could go to the command prompt without system asking me the password I forgot.
3. once I was in the command prompt, I followed the following steps:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/Windows-8/a/reset-password-Windows-8.htm
4. I was able to reset my user password.
5. I had to go through installing windows again - not a big problem
6. all my programs have been removed. I had to reinstall them for example MS Office, Cisco VPN Client, Skype, Chrome
7. my data were available under the user name
8. deleted data has been placed in the windows.old directory I was able to easily backup.
So - Thank you God Almight - life is beautiful again.
It will be useful.

Player BD or Media Player which will play records / iso from USB, including menus?
I'm looking for a BD Player (or media center) with a USB port which will play (with Menus!) of blu - ray files or an ISO file that is stored on USB thumb drive connected.
The media box WD Live play, but not with the menus. The menus are mandatory for me. As BD players need to play disc menus, I thought (we hope!) maybe a BD drive with a USB port could play the menus of the USB drive also. It seems that menus is what features many (and software) are struggling with.
I create my Blu - Ray and images files using again, but I don't want to make the Blu - Ray disc. Files and images work very well, and I can play them (with Menus!) with only a few players on my PC. I want to be able to update these files on a USB key and play to my TV without the need of a PC.
Please let me know if know a particular brand and model number of a BD player or a media player that can do this.
Thank you.
I doubt that this practice is common. And here's one:

NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive
My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.Operating system won't start.
Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.
The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.
So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?
If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
How to make this connection?Hello
You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.
But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.Pease check this Web page:

Can I use windows 7 download UPGRADE to boot from USB?
Hello. If I buy and can download the windows 7 UPGRADE on my USB key, can I then use it to start, after I format my computer? What are the steps? I know I must make a few changes (NTFS) to the USB port and verify that the PC starts in the footsteps of CD and USB. I'm currently running vista home premium, 32-bit. Thank you
Yes, you can, as long as you have 4 GB or a USB key.
The steps are minimal Microsoft has a tool that does it all for you. You have the .iso and then you use Microsofts .iso to USB/DVD tool to create a bootable USB key. Follow my instructions here for the media:You just need to buy the key. Here are the instructions for installing Windows 7 (Dell based so some steps will depend a bit on your manufacturer for example F12 can be a different key, download your drivers from elsewhere...): -
Can't boot from USB on laptop Acer NC-V5-571. another boot enabled is bios, but and I tried to boot from usb DVD etc. (starting from things that works on other PCs. I've set USB and DVD as a priority higher from startup in the BIOS. I get the alternative start menu, choose DVD or USB, but it starts just Windows 8.
I tried to boot from an external device in settings PC - general settings in the charming bar, but it starts off directly with Windows 8 too. the DVD plays fine films, and if I plug the boot device dvd W8 sees them and their content because I expect too much.
Any ideas on how to boot from another device. I would like to take at least a decent backup using Acronis.
Thanks in advance for any help

Boot from an additional media under Windows 8, you will ensure that you have either disabled Secure Boot or changed to UEFI in the traditional mode. The following articles describe how to do this.

Separated from this thread.
OK here is what I was asking. If I get the dvd of recovery to win s 7 of the manufacturer, what problems I will get when I try to boot from a usb dvd player. I worry because my computer is uefi firmware. should I disable secure boot, make sure the dvd usb drive first in the boot order. What other bios setting I would be worried.
You will get a facility better if you find the ISO to create such media as discussed in step 1 of the clean reinstall Windows 7 follow these steps to get the best possible installation. You can even create flash media if that's easier for you.
Regard to Recov disks that reinstall all the bloatware factory, Yes, you must disable Secure Boot in firmware that doesn't support UEFI to install Windows 7, and then start the media as a UEFI device.
After installation, you can pick up some performance and optimize the installation by following Clean Up Factory Bloatware .
You can also do a Clean install Windows 10 improvement using the Windows 7 product key, as this is explained in this link. You can at any time change to Windows 7, even move back and forth until only is installed at the same time.
Let us know if there are any questions and how it goes.

Portege R500-12 s - problem of recovery (Boot from USB)
Hello
I tried several days reinstall this laptop (Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R500-12 s). I reinstall drive, but it has no CD-ROM included, so I'm fighting with booting from the USB port, with my external hard drive. Those that the BIOS loads even boot from USB? Because there is no alternative USB inside the boot priority. I noticed that I can choose from, what I think is alternative of different startup in start up, when I press the F12 key. When I press the F12 key and choose USB, I just pup up to a similar cmd command line.
Reinstall is the only option because my laptop is super slow, and I have no restore file (CD) on my laptop
Ultimately is it possible to reinstall windows via USB boot, or do I have to buy an external CD-ROM drive? Which is the last thing I want to do. Advice or assistance on how I'm going to do this?
Thanks in advance :-)
I put t know if this is possible, but if you can visit Toshiba service in your city, ask them for help. They have all the external devices and also external optical drive.
Buy a coffee and ask if they can install just image recovery using your recovery DVDs. I m that they will help you with this.By the way: you can not install OS using the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. Laptop can't see it.
What you need is the optical disk drive.
Also, try to borrow a somewhere. -
Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD
My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!
So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)
-J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.
Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?
As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)
