Satellite 2400: How to boot from the CD-ROM PCMCIA?

Dear all,

I try to start from the PCMCIA - CD ROM because my DVD-ROM is not working. After you press the power and press F12, I chose PCMCIA but nothing happens. should I change something in the BIOS first?

My laptop is Satellite 2400.

Thank you...

Hello

I got this Toshiba FAQ document on the startup form of the PCMCIA reader.
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ35005G002KR01.htm
This article describes a seed on a protected unit but it s useful and you should check it out.

In addition, you can check in the BIOS the option PC card. Try to change the mode of the CCIP Compatible controller or CardBus/16 bit and tries to start again the PCMCIA card.
To change these settings, first change the configuration of device for all devices

  • How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

    I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

    Hello

    If you want to boot from the CD Rom, then a bootable Windows CD must be inserted in the first place.

    Immediately after starting the laptop, press the F12 key.
    This should allow the start on-screen menu then you could choose the ODD (CD/DVD drive) and the laptop should boot from the drive.

    Good bye

  • How to boot from the CD of Win XP to install the OS on Satellite L

    I put the boot options in the main BIOS to the first device: CD/DVD, Second device: SATA HDD, third device: device Realtek agent, but still goes to the SATA and the existing program.

    There is another box of selection of Boot with SATA as the first device, like the second DVD and it is obviuos that it is the sequence that is followed.
    He spend the top and down arrow to move the selection and ENTER to select the boot device.

    When I press ENTER the screen goes black program starts from the SATA.

    Why are there two boxes of sepearte for Boot Order selection?

    This seems an idea of garbage since they can be set to clash; as is the case in my case.

    If anyone has had this problem or know the answer correct?

    Hello

    I think you mixed with something.
    The boot order can be set as on the other laptop models.
    The second SATA option can set to AHCI or compatibility mode.
    This is necessary because the new laptops with the new SATA HDD controller. Usually Win XP doesn't do not contains the drivers for SATA HDD controller and if you want to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers then you might be the SATA in compatibility mode.

    PS: If you want to boot from the STRANGE then you should press button C immediately after to laptop computer has been turned on. You can also press F12 to activate the start on-screen menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as a boot device.

    See you soon

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

    Hello

    I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

    However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
    If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
    If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

  • Boot from the CD-ROM in windows 8

    I want to make my dual boot Pc of windows 8 and ubuntu 12.10. The problem is that I can't start either from a live CD or a USB key. I followed the instructions I found on the internet, but none of them were useful. I need to note, as I noticed that this fact is Important, that I upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 so it came preinstalled by the manufacturer. I have a Hp pavilion computer g6.

    To be more specific: in mode bios I put the boot order to boot from a CD, but it won't yet give me an option to boot from the cd and it runs automatically on windows. When I tried, but by using a USB key I'd get a software option missing even though I'm sure that the data has been stored correctly in

    Problem solved. It turns out that you do not create a bootable usb key as you would with windows, but you need to use the unetbootin software and it worked. Thank you for your time, it is much appreciated

  • Need help please, bios sees the new hard drive but still cant boot from the cd-rom

    HI there, Im having some problems here. First of all, I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2 with BIOS A06. I replaced the original hard drive to 120 GB because I received a stop error code with a new 320 GB (000000 x 24 or somethinglike that) but after research I was convinced it was the reader. I installed the new drive and the BIOS sees it under drive as primary drive SATA configuration... It's good, I guess, but now when I go to the sequence of hard drive I get (1. Unknown device (not installed) 2. System BIOS 3 boot devices. (Not installed) USB device) why the drive is not displayed here?

    OK, so now when I try to boot from a CD-rom Home XP I get "strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility. I can't seem to get around this problem any time now. I can get it to boot from a floppy disk, but not the CD, why is this? The two CD-ROMs are appearing in the BIOS as second master and slaves. IM really stumped on this one, please help!

    Hi michel_91,

    If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.

  • Satellite C70D - how to start from the DVD

    Hello
    You just bought a Satellite C70D with Win 8.1. Everything works (as much as I know to knowledge), except start it from the DVD. I disabled the Secure Boot in the bios and changed the boot order on a DVD first, then USB and HARD drive. The DVD player starts, but then it jumps on the HARD disk and Windows is started. First time I tried there was a message like "DVD boot not supported" or something like that.
    The DVD is bootable, so it's not the problem.
    I want to install Linux Mint alongside Windows.
    Someone has already solved this problem?

    Update: changing of UEFI CMS in the Advanced BIOS tab at the start of the DVD, but Windows no longer starts. Is it possible to boot from DVDE and still be able to start Windows as well?
