Portege M200 - how to boot from external CD/DVD drive?

I have a Toshiba Portege M200 and I want to reinstall the operating system. I'm a reader of CD/DVD external (USB connected) and need to know what key I have to press on when you turn the laptop to get it to go to the CD drive instead of the HARD disk.
Have you tried all the F1 - F12 keys but no success yet

Thank you

Hello

When you start your laptop and when the Toshiba screen is indicated are symbols of small disk bootable shown on the underside of the screen?

By the way:

    Hello

    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.

  • ENVY of HP dv6-7246us SSD Upgrade, problem Windows 7 installation with boot from a usb/dvd drive.

    Hi all

    I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Hi, Robert:

    Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

    I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

  • 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 :)

  • Satellite U400-10j - how to boot from a USB flash drive?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.

    I have Ubuntu on my USB flash drive, now I want to boot from it.

    I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

    Second, I noticed that the phone also has an internal memory card reader.
    I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
    The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
    In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

    And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.

  • Re: Boot from external USB HARD drive Toshiba 320 GB (MK3259GSX)

    I have PC (Windows7, SATA HDD, without CD/DVD drive), netbook and Toshiba External USB HDD 320 GB (MK3259GSX). Can I boot from the USB HDD? (to install OS or diagnostic tools like Memtest, MHDD etc..)

    I tried:
    1 format USB HDD, create the FAT32 partition and make active, copy the files, for example, ISO image of Windows 7 (I also tried bootsect/nt60), but when I reboot and choose from the menu of boot USB HDD it stops after "Verifying DMI pool data".
    2 Grub4dos (http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page), but also had nothing after verifying DMI pool Data given.
    3. If you want to install Windows 7, I tried this tool, http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool, but it did not find my USB HDD.

    Sorry for my English.

  • How to boot from simulated USB (flash drive) mass storage device?

    I do some development work on the anaconda, the Installer used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux and reconstructions based off of him.  I'm testing support of USB flash drive facilities and would rather test my changes using image files from a USB drive physical - a bit like editing an .iso image to a CD instead of using a physical CD of closure.

    I found a reference to the Framework of Linux-USB Gadget API, which looked exactly like what I was looking for.  After the reconstruction of the almond, I was able to run:

    • modprobe dummy_hcd
    • modprobe g_file_storage file = CentOS - 6.2 - i386 - netinstall.iso

    After that, the office immediately get the image as if I had actually plugged a USB stick with the same content.

    I am also able to connect this virtual USB device to a virtual machine, but when I start the virtual machine, it has no option to boot from the virtual USB device.

    Any ideas?

    VMware Workstation does not directly support boot from USB but you can use a third-party utility called Plop Boot Manager to boot a bootable USB disk and you may be.

  • How to boot from external DVD using Iconia W700P?

    I'm tired of having to restore my entire system (and lose all my files, programs, applications, etc.) whenever something is blocking the Iconia W700P (and quite often). I have an external DVD, backups of the entire system using Acronis True Image 2015 an Acronis boot disc (made on a Win 7 machine), but can not get the system to boot to the DVD device. I tried to reset the boot sequence, but it keeps starting in my original system of Windows 8 (I had to restore everything again once). I even tried to change to a legacy starting, but the system could not find a bootable device.

    Without a way to restore my system, this expensive machine is completely worthless!

    Help, please!

    Turning off secure boot seems to have done the trick. The DVD is loading now.

    Thank you!

  • 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

    > Thanks, but how do I boot from a cd rom usb drive? I don't have any usb floppy drive
    You need to first boot the bootable disc using a bootable diskette floppy drive!
    Then a driver would be loaded that allows you to boot from the CD/DVD drive

  • How to boot from a USB - Portege R500 flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, presented about 2 years ago and recently contracted a virus that has infected some of the startup files as the minute I connect it disconnects again, even in SafeMode! The quickest way I can think sorting is to reformat with the XP Recovery disk and reinstall windows.

    Problem! The CD/DVD drive on the computer laptop stopped working earlier, tried almost everything in the thread on this site, but had no luck.

    So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it this way. However in the boot parameters I only have the options of HARD drive / floppy drive / CD-ROM / LAN, none of them work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?

    Any help would be really appreciated

    I don't know if you would be able to boot from a USB flash drive, but it of certainly worth a try m

    Generally, you can try to press the F12 key when the laptop is turned on.
    A start menu should appear on the screen, then you should see all bootable devices.

    PS: as far as I know the USB startup was available in ToshibaHWSetup (tool of Toshiba which changes the settings of the BIOS under windows OS.) So I guess boot from USB must be possible.

    Your external DVD drive is operatying as it should.

    The best place to find an answer on how to make the live CD is the Debian forum. Disk made you apparentlydoes is not not a MBR boot sector or a recognized EFI partition. Either of the people is what is necessary for the drive to be bootable and your notebook BIOS must be configured in accordance with the choice of the type of format.

    Personally I've always preferred to use a utility likeUNetbootln to make several versions of Linux "live" bootable.

    I don't bother with the hassle of the DVD or CD media more.

    If you have a spare drive 32 or 64 GB USB flash drive, so you can put an incredible number of versions of Linux and troubleshooting utilities on it.

    The economy of scale with usb flashdrive has gotten to the point where a 16 GB usb key is less expensive than recordable DVD media. Check outthe Newegg price.
