Re: Cannot start with driver USB Satellite A40-271

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A40-271 and there was a problem with windows and I can not start, so I decided to start with linux. I tried once with a cd and it worked perfectly, now I try with a usb flash pen and it does not work.

Can someone help me?

Hello

As far as I know the Satellite A40 is very old model laptop and I think that the BIOS does not support booting from a USB flash memory
I know it of possible to start the USB FDD drive

  • e9280t cannot start with the USB 3.0 card (tried several providers) new version of BIOS e9280t necessary

    Hello...

    I bought a new e9280t year last on the HP site complete with 9 GB of memory (now 16), Blu-ray/DVD writer & reader, tuner TV digital Hauppauge, ATI Radeon 4850 video card bi-ecrans, etc... Since then, I've added more memory and a Firewire 400/800 3 card. His running Win 7 Pro (sp1) and the BIOS is v5.29.

    I bought an external drive to USB 3.0 WD (3 TB) and a StarTech USB 3.0 card (Amazon.com). After installing a USB 3.0 card, the system would be powered on for a second then die and then do it again a few seconds later and the cycle continues until the power cord was pulled. Then, I pulled the USB 2.0 card and tried again only to have the same results. The only cards that remained in the system during the trial was the ATI card and the TV Hauppuage card.

    Thinking that the problem was with the USB 3.0 card, I bought another provider (Rocketfish of BestBuy) and installed. The same problem as with the other card USB 3.0, the system does not start.

    No software driver or other changes have been made to the system before installation tent (according to the vendor's installation instructions).

    Given that all failures occur during the power first sequence and cards have been tried with and without power tied to them, that the problem cannot be fixed with an upgrade of the BIOS for the motherboard of TRUCKEE. I could be wrong, but I'm going on 30 years of experience of material as my framework for this review.

    If anyone else has this same problem, it would be good to rally them around and see if HP notice us.

    Thank you

    I upgraded my power supply 650w (thermal take) and it all works - USB 3 controller (Koutech Dual Channel SuperSpeed USB 3.0 PCI Express Card (2 x internal) model IO-PEU232) - he also has a SATA power connector, but it works very well with just a power bus.

  • Cannot start with the USB on my hp proliant microserver, why?

    Hello!

    I had a few problems to install esxi 5.5 on my hp proliant microserver... USB keyboard, but I solved that by plugging another keyboard, an old labtec keyboard.

    Seems esxi is not compatible with logitech g510... BUT I have another problem. My server does not start with my installation of esxi usb key longer. It was also like that before I changed the keyboard, so this isn't the issue. Server starts fine and then I get the message: "'remove the disc or the media, press any key to restart" "

    It worked fine a few days ago. The usb boot works OK on my Hp workstation...

    I have a windows server 2008R2, installed on the server, but the usb boot worked fine when this OS is installed... So nothing has really changed, he just stopped wanted for a startup with USB... I loaded the default bios setting... IM lost here please help!

    IV ' e OK installed esxi 5.5 via USB stick

  • Satellite L30-11 - cannot start with drive HARD 750 GB (Sata II)

    Hello world

    I want to move to the size of the HARD drive in my laptop satellite L30-11th 120 GB at 750go (seagate momentum).

    I mist update BIOS firmware to the latest version (on the Toshiba site: V 3.1).
    When I start a press the F2 key at the same time, I can access the BIOS that shows the HARD drive. However, when I try to go further and to boot on the Windows 7 installation disc, nothing happens (although it does not start when I put the original 120 GB HDD).

    I have another (also Sata II) 320 GB HARD drive that works well.
    So, it doesn't seem to be a problem of Sata, but more a question of size?
    Any idea what it could be?
    If it's a question of size, how I can fix my pb?

    Thank you very much in advance for any help that you could give me

    Re

    Jérôme

    In my view, there is compatibility problem. Maybe you should not go over Board with upgrade of the HARD drive.

    Buy a HARD drive with a reasonable capacity. 400GO not enough for you?

  • Cannot install wireless driver for Satellite A40

    A few days ago I had to reinstall the OS windows (XP) on my laptop. Since then, I'm not able to get a WiFi connection. I tried to install the driver on the CD that was in the package, I got when I plug the laptop, but the installation failed. I am able to get internet with a LAN cable, however, the only type of access provided in the College, I screw is wireless, so I really want to make it work again.

    There is no option for a wireless connection when I click on "create a new internet connection". However, through the program "ConfigFree" (included in the installation package) I know that my wireless adapter cannot "see" the wireless network. In addition, when I click on "view available wireless connection" icon of the internet wireless next to the time, it shows nothing.

    Really, I don't know how to run again and would be pleased if someone can help me.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I'm a little confused about the description of your problem full of m.
    First of all, it would be very interesting to know if you have used the WLan in the past!
    Did you use WLan on this laptop?

    I searched a little on the net and didn't find any A40 with the installed wireless card!
    Please check under network adapters Device Manager if a wireless network card or an unknown device appears.

    If it s not available under network adapters, then your laptop was not equipped with the LAN card internal minPCI!

  • Satellite A40-271: how to remove the BIOS password?

    Hello

    Sorry for my English.

    I have to take the bios password on a Toshiba Satellite A40-271-PSA40E-09XD2-SP

    I took out battery of the bios for a day or two, obviously without the laptop battery and the password of the bios keeps on.
    Could you help me please?, I need your experience to solve this problem of this laptop.

    With regards to the King.
    Mikel Pastor

    Hello

    You will not delete the BIOS password if you remove the CMOS battery.
    This procedure has worked on the common desktop PC, but it will not work on Toshiba laptops.

    The unknown BIOS password can be removed only by a Toshiba ASP because this requires a special procedure!

    So contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

  • Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
    After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
    even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

    I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
    If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
    Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
    Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
    I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
    just in case, but it makes no difference.

    BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
    printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

    Is this a known issue?
    There is no known workaround solution?

    Hello

    I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
    The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
    The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

    RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - cannot start with new RAM

    I have two of these laptops, both purchased at the same time.
    I upgraded to 320 GB hard drive and tried to move the RAM to 4 GB as the spec States can be made.

    I used the recommended type of RAM, but the computer does not start with two RAM modules inserted. If I remove one of them, the laptop boots! I thought that I update the BIOS but found the only version available on the download web site is the same as I.

    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

    What RAM you bought? I think that the modules are not compatible or your chipset does not support the 4 GB.
    Check it with CPU - Z!

    You could test the RAM with Memtest86 ([www.memtest86.com]).

    I doubt that a BIOS update will solve the problem. A more recent BIOS does not change the decision-making ability and/or supported RAM.

  • Qosmio X 870-13 L - cannot start either driver optical or USB port

    Hello

    I got my brand new TOSHIBA QOSMIO X 870-13 L today and it had Windows 8 pre installed on it and I want to switch to windows 7, I inserted a disc bootable after changing the settings in the BIOS when I rebooted my computer, just ignore the evolution and booted from the HARD disk. I tried the same thing with a USB: same problem.

    I tried to force it to boot from the optical device or USB by the one-time startup selector (F12), it displays 2 messages:
    Checking the media...
    In case of failure

    And then it booted from the HARD disk.

  • Re: Ethernet controller XP driver for Satellite A40

    Hi all first post and im desperate.

    I'm trying to sort my laptop Satellite a40 of neighbors.
    They had the CD of two recovery, but trying to do a full restore returned to the top! Error!

    After pressing 2 to continue. Thought discs must be scratched and had it.
    Then loaded win xp pro witch went without a hitch until I needed to go on the internet.
    Even then I thought that the ethernet controller is not difficult to find.

    What a mistake it was me? Driver was not on the two recovery CD and I tried both drivers intel on the download without result page.
    They both seem to be for Wireless Lan.
    I just need the ethernet (LAN) to work.

    Can someone please help
    See you soon

  • Portege Z930 cannot start with installed RAM module

    My laptop Toshiba Portege Z930-108 has stopped booting with any module of RAM installed in the support.

    If I remove RAM module, laptop computer starts and works fine, but if I install any module of RAM (4 GB 1600 original or a new 4 1600 CL9 or 1600 8 CL11) the computer cannot start.

    The screen stays black and power led flashing two green and two orange and a few seconds later, 3G indicator also on blue.

    This is the only problem I have with this computer, but it's strange.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the problem is not resolved.

    I tried to reset the hardware (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03J90000R01.htm), also I tried to reset the equipment with power button 30 seconds without battery but button without success.

    Any idea on this problem of strage?

    Kind regards
    Lito.

    I guess you used bad RAM or not fully compatible modules.
    It's the only plausible explanation.

    I recommend you to order the RAM modules recommended by Toshiba that are:

    4 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M4G

    2 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M2G
