Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

I have a laptop A200.

I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

Hello

As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
Is what exactly?

    Hello

    I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I can't find an option to boot from a device USB like a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if the L40-139 can boot from USB and is thus the configuration of the BIOS for this.

    I must admit that, although I love the L40, I am disappointed how to limit the BIOS is.

    Hello

    It would be possible if the BIOS would provide such support.
    But as far as I know the BIOS support booting from:

    * USB floppy drive, HARD drive, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory *.

    As you can see booting from Express Card is not supported.

    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 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.

  • Satellite C650D is not booting from the CD

    My mother has a Toshiba Satellite C650D and password protect the hard disk. She forgot the HARD drive password today! I want to format the drive and reinstall Windows. I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to boot from the CD drive and I like it start I press F12, but it goes directly to the HARD drive password screen. I change the setting to prevent fast boot but still no change.

    The only way I can boot from the CD is to remove the HARD drive.

    Are there any other settings that I can change to make it boot from the CD?

    I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about Mr. check please follow the documents:

  • 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

  • Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

    Hello
    I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

    I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Concerning
    Norbert Ruessmann

    Hello

    A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

    I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

    Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

    None of this is really a problem Windows/Microsoft.

    A1: Ask Dell and/or consult the specifications of Dell web/FAQ pages.

    A2: The BIOS is not related to the operating system you have.  Turn off the computer, turn on the computer and immediately start typing F2.

  • XW8600 sata gen 3 boot to pci-e card?


    To my knowledge, that would not work.  The HP xw workstations had a specific boot SATA port, port 0 and usually a different color than the other SATA ports (in blue in my case).  I tried to boot from the same drive that worked when it is plugged into the blue port when it is plugged into the port beside him, empty, blue port and it wouldn't work.

    That said, these workstations can boot from USB drives, PATA disk attached to the IDE port on the motherboard, floppy and optical drive plugged on no blue SATA ports, so you'll just have to try.

    I had a couple of series of Intel 320 300 GB SATA generation II SSD off eBay and have been very satisfied with the performance, start the SATA 0 (blue) from their port.  These SSDS are a real leap in performance for these workstations xw.  For most of our needs the 160 GB size is fine.
