Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

Hello

I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

See you soon

And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

  • 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.

    Hello

    You said that you are using a USB DVD Super Multi Player?

    Sorry, buddy, but I think that you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive
    AFAIK BIOS doesn t support this!

    You must use the use of the internal CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the disk!

  • Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
    It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
    As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

    Kind regards
    Claudiu.

    Claudiu salvation,

    That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
    No problem at all!

    Have you tested different USB devices?

    In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

    After the bios update, try to resolve everything by default, and then save. Then change the settings of date back to the time you have not yet updated to the bios. Save and exit.

    Because you don't want to initialize the network try to disable it in the bios.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8) - Cannot play most of the games

    Hello

    my laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA8) cannot run most games like call of duty... I wonder if I can get a more powerful vga card and install it. Is this possible? And what I can get to the Middle East (Egypt).

    Other improvements I need to increase its performance?

    Hello

    Unfortunately the video card cannot be improved. Only you can do is upgrade RAM, optimize the preinstalled operating system and play games that need power of video not so much.

    Also try to play games with video settings below. Sorry, but that's all I can say about it.

  • Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

    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?

  • Can't boot from USB in BIOS FRIEND

    Well, yesterday, I decided to move from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7. I then downloaded a file ISO of Windows 7 from Digital River and made a bootable USB key with it using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Then I put the USB in my old pc to boot from it. In this game with the boot from USB, I have the problem that I think is related with my version of the BIOS. Is AMI BIOS v2.53. If I go to Boot Device Priority it shows boot devices only 3 [link1] - my c: / drive, CD-DVD-ROM and floppy. When I go to the menu hard drives [Link2], it shows all my HARD drive and the 3rd disc is my USB bootable [link3]. And to expand my USB in the Boot Device Priority menu, I put it as the 1st player [link4]. Instead, I can't put my C: / drive as the Boot Device [link5] 2nd. And after I exit and save the changes, it will not boot from usb. It appears the error "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» If I try to boot from another boot menu F8 [link6] button, it will also give me the same error. This problem could be linked with my BIOS version?  I don't know how to solve the problem.

  • CL10-B-100 satellite - cannot boot from USB Live of Linux

    I just bought a Satellite CL10-B-100 (PSKVEE - 00300CG 6) with only 8.1 Windows preinstalled. I need to boot from a linux live usb - without success now. No MSC instead of UEFI option available in BIOS. Secure boot disabled, USB set as first boot priority option. The latest version of the BIOS, I found online is the same as on the computer - 1.00

    Any suggestions on how to start from USB Linux?

    Good day

    C.

    Hello

    Most modern distributions should be able to start using the UEFI.
    However, you forgot to mention what distro you are using.

    I assume that your pressing F12 at startup to get the start menu, verify that your key is recognized and select to start him?
    Which means that it fails? No not at all, start it begins to start but fall into problems... ?

    Please clarify the situation.
