  Now to maybe stupid question, but what is the name of this utility?

• BIOS boot from SDHC cards?

  I'm putting an Arch Linux installation on a 32 GB SDHC card. I am able to install the required files, but for some reason I can't the SDHC card is displayed in the start menu and UEFI does not seem to work. Of course, I did have luck with UEFI boot on the W530 for some reason any. I can get UEFI work very well on my desk, but not lucky on the W530 of ordinary hard drives or my SDHC card.

  The W530 will recognize and boot from SDHC cards who have GRUB installed on them? So far, I have had no luck with that. The card never appears in the start menu. I can't even start the installer images. Boot from USB works fine.

  I don't think that the BIOS, he accepts as boot device. You could call something, however.

• Portege A200 - cannot boot from the recovery disc

  Hi, I have a Portege A200 and an original unused Toshiba Recovery CD.

  When I go to recover, the DVD drive just turns and turns and nothing happens. I have tried different methods of booting with the disk to like, by pressing the C key, select boot from CD/DVD or just turn it on with the DVD in the drive. Same problem, the disc turns right away.

  I also checked the drivers TOshiba download page and let down when I found out that there are several drivers for the same thing, like the 3 drivers LAN! Which should I use? Also, I can confirm that the CD/DVD drive works fine because I already loaded windows XP, no problem.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Kieran99.

  Hey Kieran99,

  I also think that s is not a problem of the CD/DVD drive. If it turns over and over again once he recognizes a disc but it can t be read correctly.

  Regarding your question about drivers I think that it of fairly easy. I can recommend the vendor and device ID in Device Manager. With these identification numbers, you can search on this website http://www.pcidatabase.com/ to determine the LAN controller. All that s! :)

  In addition, you can check the ID s in Device Manager, if you click the LAN card properties > Details > PCI\VEN_xxxx & DEV_xxxx

• Portege R500 - fingerprint reader and SD card reader does not work

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  I bought an opportunity Portege R500 (the warranty is still available until 12/2010) and set up with Windows 7 Home Premium.

  I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the specific model support page. Driver Vista have been installed for all drivers, which are not available in Windows 7.

  If everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader and the sd card slot.

  Fingerprints: I tried al a lot of drivers, even that of the R600 and R700 (such as proposed by someone here in the forum). When I run the Toshiba fingerprint utility, a text box tells me, that there is no connection with the sensor. Authentc software does not work either.

  SD card reader: I tried several SD cards from a card SD 2 GB simple and old (but functional) Kingston. According to the Director of devicce, the driver is correctly installed and running.
  The blue icon next to wireless light turns on and after a "long", a message box appears and asks me to format the card. It takes a little longer and then I get the massage, the card cannot be formatted. I tried the same procedure with a SDHC card 4 GB and a Micro SDHC card in a SD card adapter. Then of course the cards are identified but not usable and formatted.

  There are several reports of other users of the internet, the locations of sd card in computer models laptops different toshiba have problems under Windows 7.

  The two problems have emerged as well under Vista. My hope was, this upgrade to Win 7 solve poverty. Unfortunately remain the problems of th I have Win 7.

  Thanks in advance,

  Michael (Germany)

  Thanks for the feedback second
  By the way; It is a forum for user to user in this community, everyone is trying to help everyone, so if someone wants to say that he would be able to help, then you will get a response from such user maybe you should also pass a few simple threads in this forum and might help other users as well?

  Tip; BIOS update and setting BIOS by default (with F9) can solve many problems... it's worth a try...

  By the way; Win 7 is able to update the drivers automatically. I recommend that you run an update in Device Manager and let windows search for the update.

  I ve got another laptop and installed Win 7 as well. The card reader Vista driver has worked for me on Win 7 OS just a tip

• R100 Boot from PC CARD?

  Hello

  I own a SanDisk SDP3B 1.2 GB (industrial grade) ATA PC CARD that I am trying to make it bootable in order to run another operating system on. I also plan to put a recovery image on it with the help of Acronis image, for I can just boot from the plug to restore my computer.

  This does not work well and I did not get it works. I was wondering if someone else tried to start with a pc card with of their R100?

  Thank you
  Tim

  Hello

  In my opinion there is not enough capacity for all of the image on this map. I have no experience but try to check all the BIOS settings. Check if there is an option called Boot from other devices.

• P10-873 boot from SD card?

  Hello

  Is this possible? The BIOS has an option to toggle the SD slot so we can assume that the slot can be consulted to some extent at the BIOS level. I tried assigning removable drives to the top of the boot order and put it in an SD card with the boot of Windows 98 on it files, but it does not take this into account and starts on the hard drive. Is there a way?

  Thank you
  Mark

  Hi Mark,

  So I called a technician of toshiba and they said that starting from an SD card is not possible yet. Toshba working on a solution, but we need to give them a little more time!

• Portege R500 - no response from user password

  Having just taken delivery of a new Portege R500, I tried to make a bluetooth connection when a screen came and asked to set up an administrator and user password. I have set up the password of the user only, typing in only once (but did not arise to confirm). When I turned on the computer again, there was a request for password in the upper right corner. But when I typed in it, nothing happens outside of the computer go after 3 attempts.

  It's the password but I've noticed that when I was putting the origin of the series of * only appeared with the second letter. Is there a simple solution or do I return to the dealers? I have no data on it have only added programs to date.

  Thanks for any advice.

  If there is nothing especially on the HARD drive, I recommend you use the recovery image and make the clean OS install. After doing this there's second chance to establish a Bluetooth connection.

• Satellite P100 - 277 Linux LiveCD Boot from SD card?

  Hey there, my first ever post on these forums, and I had a question.

  It is possible to unwrap a Linux live CD (like Ubuntu or Mandriva) on a 1 GB SD card (inserted in the multimedia card reader integrated course ;)) and from it?

  I tried the boot option 'Reader of floppy Boot', but it completely ignores the card reader (seems not yet-> LED is not light up at all) and one of my friend told me that this is supposed to be the boot disk... But this is no logical, portable computers first of today do not come with floppy drives, and second, all the other computers I have here call boot disks just that... Diskette or... another name clearly designating a floppy drive (something with a removable 3.5 inches)...

  So can you help me with this? I tried various Linux distributions, it does not at all.

  Well, I've never used the SD card for the start of Linux, but it s very interesting questions
  Toshiba provides a utility to clean boot on the SD card. This utility formats the SD card and copy other startup files to start the procedure.

  You can try to copy the files from linux on the SD card.
  If you want to start to the top of the SD card, you can use the F12 key immediately after the laptop boot then a start menu should appear.
  Here you can choose the SD card as a source of start-up

  But as I said I m not 100% sure if it works with the Linux files

• Boot from the card reader

  Hello, everyone!

  I made bootable (1 GB) Flash drive and SDHC-card (8 GB) bootable.

  In the first case, I can start but in the second, I can't.

  Computer:. Presario Compaq CQ61-310ER.

  BIOS is updated.

  Card reader works fine (with card SDHC in Win7).

  What should I do?

  Hello

  I looked on this topic, and here's what I discovered:

  All storage devices that can be plugged into usb must meet the USB Mass Storage standard. There is a start of this section. If standard USB Mass Storage cannot apply in full (without standard boot section).

  Some of the old external usb card readers have no start function. All modern readers start function (the case is not proven).

  Internal drive can be connected to internal pci or usb. To start, in the first case, the bios must support 'pci boot function' (I don't know the correct name for it) and the reader must supports the start function. To begin in the second case bios must supports usb startup function and the reader must fully supports the usb mass storage standard. My player in-house to meet a basic element of the standard without start USB Mass Storage function. I found a lot of posts on this topic. If this is not a problem of my computer.

  Topmahof thank you very much for your time and your answers.

  I mark my problem as solved.

• Can't access BIOS - Portege R500 PPR50E

  Hi, it seems that I cannot access the BIOS on my Portege...

  My BIOS password sometimes but I tell myself that I need to access BIOS immediately after that.

  What is the correct combination please? It's ALT + F12? It does not work... :(

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think that the laptop uses the Toshiba BIOS and that is why you need to press F1, immediately after the laptop has been powered.

  Check out what I think it will work.
