Satellite 210CS: How can I boot from CD?

Hello

I found my old Satellite 210CS and I want to install Linux on it, but I can not find the floppy drive, I just got the drive of CD-ROM. I changed the boot options in the bios to FDD > HDD but its not not booting from the cd. Y at - it an update of the Bios to boot from CD?

Hello

He is a former. About 10 years ago.
AFAIK this laptop has an own FDD (floppy) drive and the CD drive is swappable. (You can use both, but not together)
I found information that the BIOS supports that one disc at the time and the CD-ROM drive is not bootable.
If you change the settings in the BIOS for HARD drive FDD so first Notepad starts from the floppy drive, and then from drive hard, but not on the CD!

However, the Toshiba doesn't support Linux and you get not all Toshiba for Linux drivers.
But haven't found this page:

    Hello

    You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
    If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
    A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

    You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

    Check this back and forth!

  • How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

    How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.

    I have a Satellite T230-12v and I decided to change the hard drive for a faster SSD.

    The problem is that I can't just boot from a USB pen to install windows 7.
    The pen works fine.
    The SSD is properly found in BIOS.
    The pen is in the boot options.
    Seems that the BIOS is always keep me to start appropriate.

    I have succecefully started a prompt back from the pen of USB, but not the Original Windows 7 I have here.
    I can't boot from dvd because the laptop is not a.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

  • How can I boot from CD on the Satellite A10 - 131

    How can I set BOOT priority in the BIOS to CD-Rom?

    HI Gleb,

    The normal way to select the boot device is to press the F12 key during the initial ignition process. This will cause the display of the menu 'Boot Device Selection'.

    Alternatively, you can try the short cut from Toshiba which is to press the 'C' in the first power.

    Kind regards

  • 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

  • HPE 410T: How can I boot from a MicroSD card?

    Hi I have a PC that goes over six years and would like to know how to start on a MicroSD card from office of 410t HPE. I am able to boot from a USB key by pressing and holding down the ESC key on startup to select the boot device and my USB flash drive appears in the list of bootable devices, but my microsd card does not appear in this list. Is there anyway that I can boot from the microSD on this computer? Thank you.

    bert6822

    Sorry, but you can start only off the coast of devices that appear in the selection of start menu.

    If it is not there, it can not be used at startup - and SD cards are a common problem in this regard.

    However, there is microSD adapters / USB (I have one of my cards), and if you don't find one of those, you might be able to start using a USB port.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200 - 19L can not boot from the CD

    Hi guys,.

    I'm glad I found this forum site, I pretty well hope to find a solution here.

    Well, this problem is not very complicated, in fact my DVD player (model TS-L632) is not read more, so much so I decided to change with a new one, but it is not the same model as the original drive.
    It is the case of the generic DVD player really.

    Now when I inserted my recovery disk or any bootable disk is not booting the CD, and when I press F12 for I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can't find the DVD player and it can read any CD priority boot normally.

    Just having the problem while booting from CD.
    I thought that maybe there is no security for this model that locked some hardware.
    So please guys want to help me how to understand it,

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    > When I press F12 for boot priority I can't find any CD/DVD drive, but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD.

    The whole story seems really strange to me
    If you access the BIOS, you can see the details of the CD/DVD drive? The drive is recognized properly?

    If not then I guess that the STRANGE inserted is not totally compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    > but running in Windows I can find the DVD player and it can normally read any CD
    It s also strange to me so that the CD/DVD drive appears in Device Manager even if the CD/DVD drive Startup menu option does not appear.

    But first check the BIOS

  • Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB?

    I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand...

    Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40.

    Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible?

    Thank you.

    L.

    Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN)
    Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(

    But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n.
    Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?

    If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition.
    To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.

  • Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

    Hello

    the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

    Thank you

    Luke

    Hello

    Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

    It s already installed when you plug it in.

    See you soon

  • Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

    Hi all

    How can I boot from an external USB drive?
    The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

    I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

    It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

    The default boot priority is the HARD drive and is more bootable has been formatted. My BIOS is password protected, how can I change the boot priority? After having inserted the password, its always boot from the HARD drive.

    Thank you

    The boot priority, that you can change in the BIOS.
    Go into the BIOS with ESC, enter your password and then you can change it.
    But don t forget to save the changes.

    That s all and then you can boot from the CD.
