Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

Help!

Thank you.

Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

But it is a tricky thing.
The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

You can then use this CD for installation.

  • My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

    Details of the machine: -.

    Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
    Serial number: XE343127P

    Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

    Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

    I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

    System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

    The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

    1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

    Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

    Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

    I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

    See you soon,.

    Andrew.

    Hello

    From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
    HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

    What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

    Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

  • Left without head does not start from the phone.

    Hello

    I have a problem with the part without a head.

    When I try to launch the app to Eclips, the app will be charged for phone and rotate the UI and parts without a head.

    Now if I restart the phone, headless part does not start even when I open the UI part,

    The headless part is to call the block function.

    Any idea will be very appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Your HL will start automatically in these two scenarios:
    (1) the application is installed on the device (there is no front)
    (2) the phone is restarted-> which is the magical part where your file bar - descriptor.xml is to record your target without head to call when the OS up bb.action.system.STARTED action.

    If you want your HL to be launched at the start of the user interface, you must manually call.

    Look here for an example of coding:

    Hi herikhi,
     
    Change the start of the base system (Input Output) BIOS setting to boot from the hard drive.
     
    Consult the manual of the manufacturer, to do the same thing.

    I don't know what is the problem here, but it turns out that it is certainly possible to boot from the memory stick bootable USB flash.

    Many users have been abele to boot from the memory stick USB external flash, but it is necessary to disable the secure in the BIOS boot option.
    Also if you want to install an unsupported UEFI system, the boot mode must be changed of UEFI in the CSM.

    Hello

    If you want to boot from the CD Rom, then a bootable Windows CD must be inserted in the first place.

    Immediately after starting the laptop, press the F12 key.
    This should allow the start on-screen menu then you could choose the ODD (CD/DVD drive) and the laptop should boot from the drive.

    original title: HELP for the installation of Win XP.

    Hi Jorge,.

    So the only thing I can think is that it is a sort of master/slave thing.

    Your IDE HDD will be a Knight, probably alongside where the power cable is inserted, to dictate whether the player will be considered to be a master, slave, or cable select. Assuming that it is the only HARD drive in the PC, make sure it is designated "master". Then, in the BIOS, make sure that the boot order is specified as HDD0 first (as opposed to HDDx where x is greater than zero).

    In addition, assuming that the data cable is the new type of Ribbon with strands of 80, make sure that the blue connector of the IDE data cable is in the motherboard and that the end of the black connector is in the HARD disk and, if it is a two-disc data cable, do not use the gray connector.

  • Portege R100 does not start

    Can someone help me please. My Portege R100 does not start, when I turn the following text appears: in touch with tomorrow toshiba. After a few seconds a black screen with a blinking cursor on the left side of the screen.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Rehana,

    The Toshiba screen you will see first is the initial start screen is displayed while loading the BIOS. Once the BIOS has completed its process of loading, the system tries to boot the operating system and it is at this point that you have found the black screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left.

    Unfortunately, this indicates usually that the laptop can not load the operating system from the hard drive, or because the hard disk itself has not the contents have been damaged somehow.

    You might try to charge your laptop in 'safe' mode (press F8 during the initial loading of the BIOS) or you can try to boot your laptop from a bootable CD/DVD and hard drive.

    Finally, you can try to re - install your OS from the recovery CD.

    Kind regards
