NB200 laptop cannot boot from USB CD/DVD drive / blinking cursor

I have a toshiba nb200 - 11L, a little less than 2 years (no guarantee!). Recently, it has developed a problem that prevented him from starting the system and all that happens is I have a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of a black screen. The partitions of the options only are F2 and F12, but these will not allow me to enter in safe mode or use the toshiba recovery option.

I bought the toshiba on cd rom recovery disk in order to complete a re - install but the bios displays only the HARD drive and floppy drive as an option and it doesn't seem to be any way to add new options.

I checked the hard drive that seems to be ok. I fear that the problem may be the motherboard that I think will make any repair uneconomic.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thank you. Keith

    You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
    If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
    A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

    You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

    Check this back and forth!

  • Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

    However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
    + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

    I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

    Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

    This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
    Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Just a few questions:
    Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
    If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
    Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

  • Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

    My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

    In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

    Hello

    Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
    Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

    Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
    Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

    First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

    If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

    However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

    And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

    To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

  • L50-A-1FK satellite - cannot boot from USB port

    Hello

    I am a first user of this forum
    It is a problem with my computer and don't know how to fix it.

    My computer is a L50 A 1FK Satellite with Windows pre installed 8.1.

    I'm not impressed with new Windows10 and I'm back on Windows 8.1.

    What to do when I start to install a version of Linux Mint meadow look.
    It is impractical to restart the computer to. Al dough BIOS is changed by marketing, that to look for start-ups to the USB. It does not work. If I try the same thing is happening with a live CD or DVD.
    How can I make sure that there re-boot on the USB.

    As in advance,
    Rob (Wildspoor.nl)

    Hello

    In order to boot from external sources (CD or USB port - flash memory stick), you need to disable startup secure in the BIOS.

    There is also a startup mode option (UEFI).
    In case the new (Linux) system would not support UEFI mode, you must change this mode of CSM.

  • Boot from USB or DVD with UEFI bios upgrade

    Hello

    I have an Alienware Aurora R4. I am trying to upgrade the BIOS A03 to A05. My system uses the UEFI boot loader. I have problems starting in anything except through the windows.

    I tried to make a bootable USB flash drive with both the HP disk storage format tool and Rufus using the win98 and FreeDOS as the operating system. The bootable flash drive is recognized when I do F12 and I chose to start. It goes straight into windows.

    I tried to boot from the drivers and utilities disk and once again, he is going directly into windows.

    In my BIOS, I value UEFI then CD/DVD the HD device boot order and still it doesn't start from one of these devices.

    Is it possible either due to UEFI? If I understand correctly this is a 64-bit application and will not recognize any OS 32-bit like BACK. Is this true?

    What I have to go into the BIOS and change it for a legacy instead of EUFI start-up and if I do this will I have no problem starting after I do the upgrade of BIOS and return to EUFI?

    Thank you

    Mike

    I think that you have solved your problem.  If you need boot from a USB device, it will boot UEFI information appropriate unless your BIOS has an option to return to the start-up inherited automatically.

    Updated the BIOS normally resets the configuration to the default configuration for the computer.  If you are unable to update the BIOS, you will need to look through the BIOS configuration page to ensure that your settings are correct.  I would not be surprised if the first parameter you have to do to come back to the UEFI boot mode.
