Satellite A25-S279 - Cant Boot From USB Drive

Hello everyone. I'm new here.

Is there anyway that I can boot from a hard disk on the A25 USB? In any case to update the BIOS to give me the option to boot from USB hard drive?

I already went through the BIOS and used the HWsetup nothing helps.

I want to run Linux on a mini-usb HDD, I just picked up, but I can't seem to boot from the USB connection.

Please let me know.

Hello

You on the right, the BIOS supports a boot from the USB FDD.
BUT it is not possible to boot from the USB HARD drive or USB key

The BIOS offers these startup options:
HDD, CD/DVD, LAN or USB FDD

  • 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.

    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.

    Hi @kvartsnorsk

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I know that you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, this laptop was not sold configured for this OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (32 and 64 bit)

    What happens if I do not see my operating system?

    On the boot USB device, it is likely that your bootable usb image isn't UEFI, so you should enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow boot off this device.

    Hello

    Initially, I bought 810 rotate with 8.1 Pro window.

    I've recently upgraded to 64-bit Pro 10 Windows.

    The problem is that I can not boot from USB. Computer recognizes the USB drive but when I click F9 and enter in bootmode... He acknowledges as "drive hard usb ' but when I select it... it has no effect and does not start.

    Could someone help me solve the problem? I need to be able to boot from USB drive...

    Thank you

    Windows 10 64-bit with UEFI can only boot from a GPT partition. It may be that your boot USB drive is partitioned as MBR [Master Boot Record] and should be partitioned GPT [Table of Partition GUID] for UEFI.

  • EliteBook 840: unable to boot from usb flash

    Hello:

    I'm tempted to boot from USB drive to install a new version of Windows 7. When I press F9, I have only two startup options:

    -Computer portable hard drive

    -Computer laptop Ethernet

    The USB boot option do not appear.

    My BIOS Version is: 01.04 worm. M71 (24/02/2015)

    Note: I tested my USB key installation in the other laptop and it works very well.

    Thank you for your support.

    Yes, I know Rufus. How I said, I tried my USB in another laptop (a HP ENVY m4 laptop) and work very well. The difference is that the HP ENVY gave me the option to boot from USB and the EliteBook does not.

    I realized that, since the post, you did.

    I suggested RUFUS and EFI create setup of windows due to the startup problem, that you have with the Elitebook 840.

    It may be just what you need for this particular laptop.

    If you want this to work, then you must be flexible and willing to solve the problems.

  • Satellite A300 - Boot from USB Flash Drive

    Is it possible to make my laptop boot USB flash drive?
    I checked the BIOS settings, but could not find anything that allows the boot from USB.

    > So after 40 hours there is no one who can answer this question 'complex'... strange forum.
    Hay buddy, you have good sense of humor ;)
    Do you really believe that someone to sit here and wait for your non-complex question? ;)
    Anyway, this issue is so simple and you don't need to ask someone here. If you do not find option bootable BIOS to set USB peripheral device for me is logical that this will not work.
    Please check the BIOS settings.

  • 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?
