Portege S100: Boot from USB?

• How can I boot from USB - Portege A200

  Hello

  I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

  In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

  Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

  The options I can think of are:
  (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
  (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
  (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

  If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

  I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
  It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

  However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

  There are different reasons for this problem
  For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
  Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

  In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
  I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

  Good luck

• Need to boot from USB device with my Portege 7020ct

  Hello!

  I need help!

  situation: me and my girlfriend go on a long trip on Tuesday. We have to work, so we bought a second hand portege 7020ct.
  However, there is no CD or diskette drive. Win98 is installed but no drivers for the modem. infrared can locate other computers, but is not able to connect.
  so the rare thing I have is a usb connector.

  I want to install win2000 or at least put some data on the hard drive.

  So I need to use my external cd drive or usb key. the problem is, the system (usb port) find the external hard drive and the USB, but I need to install drivers to prepare! But how? --> no internet, no floppy drive, no internal cd, without infra-red...

  What can I do?

  I tried to get into the bios to see if it is possible to boot from the usb slot, maybe get the external drive runnin and then install win2000.
  but I can´t know how to get into the bios! .. .but I m don't know if it will work.

  How do I enter the bios?
  Anyone have any idea what I can do? How can I get drivers in the system?
  How can I get the disc runnin external or USB?

  Please, I beg you! I need help very quick, cause tomorrow is my last day...

  Thanks to everyone in advance

  Hi Deko,

  The key in the power up takes you to the BIOS settings.

  Installing the drivers could be difficult. I have a 7010CT and there is no option to boot from USB (only floppy - HDD - CD - lan). I don't think that Windows 98 supports USB sticks without additional drivers. I upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 by using a PCMCIA cdrom external and from the installer of Windows 98. Maybe you could try to use a network card PCMCIA to try to find a disk for the Portege.

• 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.

• Portege R100 - boot from the external HARD drive

  I have a Portege R100 and the HARD drive has failed. I installed a new HARD drive and I have the Toshiba recovery disks. I tried to boot from a generic USB CD-ROM but the laptop did not recognize.

  I have a disk of Toshiba USB drive it does not recognize and I have a restore disc but I don't know how from there. Do I have to buy a CD external Toshiba and if so, which?
  Any useful suggestions?

  Hello

  Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible.
  You will also be able to boot from USB HDD!

  If you want to boot from the CD, you must use a compatible PCMCIA cards (16-bit and 32-bit Cardbus) CD/DVD drive.

• Toshiba NB520 - can't boot from USB

  I NB520, I tried possible ways to boot from usb and it still does not work.
  I need some suggestions.
  Thank you.

  Usually the name of the USB device does not appear in the start menu.
  If you want to run rom flash USB memory key, you need to connect the USB flash first.
  Press the power button, then F12 and select USB.

  But note: USB flash memory stick must be ready for start-up.
  If it was not made "bootable" and then the boot from USB does not work.

• EliteBook 1040 2: Boot From USB

  I looked at some other posts about it, but they were not helpful and tried a hat with the support of HP, but it was pretty useless. Without knowing it, I created a problem on my new laptop using EaseUS Partition Master to create a new partition which converted the drive in Dynamic.I only mention this as it may be relevant to the current problem.

  Now I can not create a recovery USB and can't the disk image. I made a backup of Windows with the backup system. Currently I am trying to boot from a USB key that contains the Hirens Boot environment. I tried this UB in my Dell and who will start in the environment of Hiren. Anyway, I went into the BIOS, inheritance and set the boot order to boot from USB first, but the computer will not.

  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?

• Desktop HP ENVY 700: problems with the boot from usb in the bios

  Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

  I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

  I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

  I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

  Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

  I need this to work because I can't afford to buy new systems and its for my studies so its imperative

  Your PC has a motherboard of Memphis and happens to have a UEFI BIOS and the hard drive of the GPT format.

  You can check the type of hard disk online order volume by using the DiskPart utility.

  

  Create a flashdrive bootable UEFI with RUFUS.

  Plug it into an available usb port before you press the power button. Near the powr button and immediately start to tap the F9 key to enter the boot from the sources menu. Select the Flash drive under the UEFI Boot sources. Let the boot process. If you have created the key correctly, it should start.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite C650 - disable boot from USB

  Can you help me please? How can I disable boot from USB?

  Hi bailonijunior,

  As far as I know it of not possible to disable certain devices to boot.

  You can change the boot order in the BIOS. For example, you can set the HARD drive as first boot device. That means that the computer will always start HARD drive even a bootable USB device is connected.

  I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.
