(Redirected) External HDD USB boot

I own a Latitude D420 BIOS version A03, POST boot order USB, then internal HARD drive DVD drive. Currently I have windows 7 running on my drive HARD internal 80 GB and have tried for some time get my external WD Black to start walls so that he would welcome VirtualBox and GNS3 to help me with my studies. Other relevant specifications are: Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of free RAM (512 MB RAM system) then it would be a little tight for all virtualization but should work, please don't tell me to buy a new computer: P in any case which has little to do with my power similarly boot from external USB HARD disk. I set the BIOS to look at USB first, and it has GRUB on the external, I checked and repaired. When I use a flash drive to boot from, everything is okay, no problem, but when you try to start the tray spins hard drive it's a no go. I ran "Boot-Repair-disk", a utility Ubuntu used to repair any problems starting Linux or misconfigs. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks in advance television

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the drivers of USB port?

    You should try this;
    -Disconnect all USB devices the USB ports.
    -Go to the Device Manager and remove all the USB root hub and all USB host controllers.
    -Restart the laptop

    After this procedure, the Windows operating system should recognize and should install the USB ports again. After restarting again you must connect only USB devices and must verify if they will work properly!

  • Toshiba 1 TB portable HDD USB 3.0 Stor.E questions

    Hi all

    Bought a Toshiba Stor.E partner 1 TB external HDD USB 3.0 for my wife for the advent of ebay. Use it on an Optiplex GX620 under Windows XP (SP3) via a USB 2.0 port that I bought it and in the future will be able to make use of USB 3.0

    I tried to format the HARD disk of 1 TB straight on the box and it took forever to get to the stage 13% (20 min) = when he started just turn off and on, immediately... it's 5 times until I cancelled the format and once I did he remained for about 4-5 minutes before it is rotated to the bottom of his...

    So I did a quick format, which went well with no stop downs which took about 1-2 minutes of dishes...

    So I put a 1 GB on it .avi file to see how it will play and it went well until what 5 minutes in the video when I noticed a sudden break of the video for a milli second or 2 - enough to be frustrating. Then I heard the car apparently closed (a snoring and a stop of the head... apparently, although the file was still play)-even if I heard the spin in the car down and maybe stop he kept playing the file, but a break of milli seconds every 2-3 seconds of reading file - it would be the nspin upward once again and after 3-4 minutes turning down strong enough... (no sanding, etc. or click, just a loud snoring with a sort of stop the sound)

    The file plays fine out of the Office for 30 minutes, so forget the system - the same file plays very well from my Maxtor external drive on the same USB port.

    Tried the 1 TB of HDD on my Panasonic TH - L42ET5A LED LCD TV and played previews apparently ok but I could hear a beep from the command every 3-4 seconds... and it didn't sound right and seemed to be all of a sudden stop and restart...

    The fact, that it cannot format wihtout shutting down/restarting and can not play a video file without a break every 2-3 seconds means that it wont be good enough for me...

    Note: on the same USB 2.0 port I use all my other USB drives work = very well no problem...

    Is - this disc a lemon?

    I hear that after July 2012, Toshiba has changed the firmware or the Commission on these discs of style and others in this forum have similar problems with stop/stop suddenly the rotation disc = however, this one is set up I think that's not a good set upwards.

    I'm not quite sure of the issue described, but strange noises from a HARD m disc would be a sign of failure of the HARD drive
    On the other hand, the HARD drive is a HARD drive 3.0 and it must 900mA on the bus power.
    The USB 2.0 port allows only to 500mA.

    I m not very well if this may be the reason here, but you should try to use the HDD with USB 3.0 or to a hub USB extended in the contrary case, it may be a HARD drive problem.

  • Drive external DRIVE with Boot Camp Win8.1 only recognized by a Mac?

    I need to create a HARD drive containing Windows 8.1 for a retina 2015 13 "MacBook Pro with a small SSD.

    If I understand correctly, Boot Camp wouldn't install Windows on what be it external. I used a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 "and the Boot Camp Assistant used to partition the internal drive and 8.1 Windows Installer from a DVD. I then removed the freshly Boot Camp a HARD drive internal, put it in a caddy and replaced the HARD internal drive with a new installed OSX one, and all is well. When I hold Alt 2012 the MacBook Pro at the start with my new external (the Boot Camp'd HARD drive in a caddy) plugged, I offer the 1) internal drive, 2) external OSX partition and finally 3) partition Windows 8.1. Windows starts successfully and works very well.

    My problem is that when I plug the external HDD bootcamp in the 13 "2015 MacBook Pro of the retina, which I did because the Windows partition is not given as an option at startup. It offers only the internal SSD flash disk and partition OSX from the outside. The same is true when I plug it into a 2010 27 "iMac, a 15 2105" MacBook Pro or a 2011 13 "MacBook Pro.

    I plugged on an any other MacBook Pro 2012 with a technique that is identical to the one I did the Boot Camp disk on and it works fine! Then why will offer to boot Windows on the computers of an identical to the technique that I have created the disk on? After, that means the only way I can create an external bootable Windows drive uses the same method, but with a PCIe SSD and it can be created in the machine, I want to use it with?

    Anyone with any experience of this or any idea that I would appreciate your thoughts! Thank you.

    1 Windows-to-Go is part of Windows Enterprise, which is not supported on your Mac.

    2. the drivers on the Windows installation are specific to a MBP 2012. Unless you create a generic Windows without specific hardware drivers, it will not work across different HW Macs.

    3. moving W8.1 with EFI Boot and the MBR are two different scenarios. You can also alter your BCD that leads to new problems.

    Thx for any answer :)

    Hey,.

    Why you want to install Windows 7 from the HARD drive?
    Windows 7, you can only buy on CD/DVD, never heard of any version of HARD drive

    In any case, I think that boot USB is not available. According to the Toshiba page you can start following devices:
    USB FLOPPY DRIVE,
    HARD drive primary.
    Optical devices,
    Network (LAN)

    It seems therefore that boot from USB HDD is not possible.

  • How to use "System Restore" using the USB boot-able.

    Some updates are being installed and I have turned off, now Vista does not load normally. Instead, Windows loading process is interrupted by error 'blue screen of death '.  Now, I have a USB boot-able with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. When I boot with my USB boot-able and select 'Repair your system', it shows the dialog box 'System Restore Options. " There are no BONES in the list, so I click on "Load drivers", an "Open" dialog box appears.

    1. in the "Open" dialog box, I don't know which file (s) to locate.

    If I cancel and click on 'Next', another windows appears. Then, I select "System Restore". A message pops up saying something like: «to perform an offline system restore, you must specify which Windows installation you want to restore...» For example, enter the command:
    Rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:WINDOWS.

    2. I don't know where I have to give this command.

    My HP dv6700 s system. When I bought it, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit was already installed. But I do not remember the activation code now. And so I can't even contact support and help from microsoft.

    Kindly help me.

    HP gives you the opportunity to make the Vista startup repair from the diagnostic menu? I thought that this was the case. Have you checked? There is a reason for the message warning about don't turn off your computer while updates are being installed and you may need to restore the State of the plant.

    To answer your original question, the drivers that are sought are disk SATA controller drivers. You get them from HP website and set on a (non-bootable) USB to use at the point of "pilots charge."

    If you can not solve this problem, you can copy your data to an external hard drive by booting with a Linux Live like Knoppix or Ubuntu distro from a bootable USB. Then restore the computer as long as the plant. HPs factory to start the recovery process by pressing F11 when the computer starts, but there will be a message about what function key to use.

  • HDD USB not recognized as "physical1" when creating the new virtual machine

    Hi all

    I wanted to create a new virtual machine, and I wanted to use my USB as a physical drive.

    But Workstation shows me "physical0" which is of course my drive internal.

    I tried USB pen drives. They are not recognized either.

    This somehow is no longer supported? I would have that it would be possible to use USB external HDD as the physical drive to a new virtual machine.

    you have installed VirtualBox?

    If so, you can try to use the virtuaklbox command line tool to create a descriptor of rawdisk for this disc.

    say diskpart on this drive? -It is "online"?
