Satellite A300-1EC - how to start openSuse Linux from USB HDD?

Using the desktop PC, USB HDD was installed openSUSE. The computer starts from USB HDD fine. On the laptop installed windows 7. I tied USB HDD for notebook and laptop computer reboot, select by pressing F12 boot USB, but the HARD drive loading specifications internal (WIN 7).

What I've done wrong? How can I boot from USB HDD?

Hi aliks-os.

I m not owner of the Satellite A300, but maybe that it doesn't support boot from USB HDD...
Connect the HARD drive before you turn on your laptop. Then turn on your notebook and press F12 to access the start menu.

The USB HDD is listed? Can choose you?

  • Can I back up my files on the partition of 'E' of my Satellite A300-1EC

    I bought a new laptop Satellite A300-1EC.
    I managed to complete the full installation of the system.

    When I check my drive I don't find that two drives 'C' and 'E '.
    Drive C is for the operating system, and 'E' is the data with a record HDD1 disk.

    Now if I want to save my normal files like in word, excel etc... that is the drive to back up my files.

    Savings in 'E' will affect the operation of computers.

    Hello

    I assume that the E partition contains data that are necessary to start the Toshiba HDD recover.

    I think you could save your files on the partition E too, but you shouldn't change t or t should remove all the files and data that already exist on the E partition.

  • Need suggestions Satellite A205-S5841 and Satellite A300-1EC

    Hello

    I need to hear now, I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 - S5841 what Dual Core 1.73 GHz.
    I intend to buy the Toshiba Satellite A300-1EC, which is Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz...

    Tell me is interesting?

    Its your choice. The A200 is too slow with the Applications that you use? Do you need to improve 3D performance? Photoshop takes too long to process the images?

    The A300 would have a faster graphics chip, faster memory, more fast/more big HDD, better connectivity, perhaps more memory, more features, grunt a little more CPU.

    Take a look at the specifications in the Brochure and decide if elements or the quicker features you would enjoy. My friend has an A300 with facial recognition (and FM radio I think!), its quite a good machine :)

  • Satellite A300-148 how to increase the size of the graphics memory?

    Hello..

    I have satellite a300-148, I update my laptop RAM from 1 to 2 GB but the VRAM is always 128 MB. and in the toshiba site write this:

    ((Graphics Adapter:))
    Manufacturer: Intel
    type: Intel® GMA X 3100
    memory: up to 358 MB total graphics memory available with 2 GB of system memory
    memory type: shared))

    But my laptop no graphics card (intel GMA X 3100) is (mobile intel 965) how can I solve this problem?
    There are different between the two adapters? How to increase my laptop memory graphic size?

    Please help me...
    thanx

    Hello

    > How can I solve this problem?
    Problem? What is the problem?

    Take a look here on this page of the Toshiba hardware specification:
    [Satellite A300-148 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 150445]

    Laptop supports the Intel® GM965 Express chipset but the graphics chip is Intel® GMA X 3100
    As you can see the type of memory is shared
    What does that mean?
    This means that this graphics card shares memory with the main memory. Everything is controlled automatically by the graphics driver.
    If the memory of the graphics card is required then graphic driver would assign memory automatically to GPU.

    I hope this helps...

  • What is the difference between the Satellite A300-1EC & Satellite A300-1EG

    Why does the Satellite A300-1EC more expensive stand as Satellite A300-1EG, but configuration loses him?

    What is their substantial distinction in?
    What model of laptop may indicate, in this price range?

    Hello

    Satellite A300-1EC belongs to the Group PSAG0E and Satellite A300-1EC to PSAG4E. When this model numbers are different, it means that they do not have the same hardware configuration.

    The first has Intel graphics controller 965GM (Crestline). The second is M82XT ATI (256 MB). The capacity of the HARD disk is not the same. The first a 160 GB HDD and secondly a 250 GB.

    So that's the difference between these notebooks of the A300.

    In my view, the other is better. You have to make your decision and choose the right one.

  • Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

    Hi all!

    I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
    My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

    So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

    Thank you in advance.

    I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

  • Re: Satellite A300 PSAGCA: how to install Win XP as 2nd OS

    Hey any reader for the first time and shows for the first time.
    My comp is the Satellite A300 PSAGCA-02U010

    You 2 questions, hopefully someone can help me with.

    The issue of the first: like many people, I hate Vista.
    How can I run XP as a second OS that don't live my warranty?

    2. the volume level is not very strong (sound) when you watch a DVD etc. I tried different settings, and every time I do I have to restart to take effect, which is a pain that vista is slow to restart. I have downloaded the driver, but noticed that it is exactly the same as what is installed already :(

    See you soon

    > How can I use as a second OS XP who don't live my warranty?
    Installing programs or operating system would not avoid the warranty!
    You can install the Win XP as second OS without fear.

    But before install you anything, I would recommend the Toshiba recovery disc creation!

    With regard to the sound:
    As far as I know the parameters which are changes in the player are not not in trouble. You must increase the volume of every time when you start the software again.
    But have you tested different actors? For example, VLC player is a simple and free tools.
    I recommend to test

    It s in the control panel.

    Here you can configure the buttons; CD/DVD and lighting On / OFF

  • Satellite A300-Y00 - how to use a joystick for games?

    How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play without a keyboard because its very difficult to use?

    What one should I get, like joystick ps2 or gamepad xbox since the microsoft xbox and im using microsoft software such vista...?
    But my laptop has what we call the game controller in the Control Panel, it means that I always install the software to use the joystick?

    Thanx

    It s your choice what joystick you want to buy. Go to a computer store and take a look at all the joysticks and buy one of them.

    Normally you need a driver for the joystick, but the joystick should be bundled with an installation disk that contains the drivers.

  • Satellite A300 intermittently does not start

    Hello

    to help you with the A300 which sometimes (recently more often) just won't start/start?
    I run my A300 battery, when I press the power button / stop

    (1) fun begins
    (2) ' satellite' logo on the lower left corner will blink
    (3) drive HARD diode flashes
    (4) display lights even for a while
    (5) lightning touchpad stays off
    (6) it will continue like this for always (no activity except fan)

    After a few hard reboots can occasionally start, he's absolutely perfect job.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem. For two weeks, I have similar problem on my A300. He won start t at all. Power LIGHT blinks two or three times and that's all that happens.

    At first, it happened only sporadically, but now there is no other reaction. In my view, this is power of electronic card.
    On your A300, it may be the same.
