Satellite A300 - my stucks laptop on BIOS when USB is inserted

Hello!

I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300. I had burned linux on a USB and tried to boot from usb. So when the laptop open, I inserted the USB and you press F12. The pc just stuck on Toshiba - Leading Innovation Screen.In the past, that I was doing the same thing and it worked very well.

Now, I can't boot from usb.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance!

Set the BIOS to the default settings, restart the laptop and press F12 on startup laptop. When the boot menu appears put USB in laptop satellite.

In the start menu, choose the USB option and press ENTER.

What happens when you do this?

  • Satellite A300-1RZ - stucks Windows 7 upgrade on the first step of the installation

    Hi all

    I'm Italian, I an A300 Satellite with Vista Home Premium I paid 30 euros for the free upgrade to Windows 7, which reached my House yesterday. I got 2 DVD:
    -1 to 'prepare' my phone: * TOSHIBA UPGRADE DVD *.
    -1 upgrade operating system: * WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM UPGRADE DVD *.

    + The first step: + use the first DVD: all right, "the system is ready to install Windows 7, insert the second dvd. When I insert the other, I accept the license and after that, the first step of the installation: * "check system compatibility."
    * These steps is my problem.*

    I reworded more than 10 times the praxis but it blocks at this stage, I left the laptop at this stage, throughout the night, but today morning she was always there, no progress, it is clear that there is a problem, but I do not understand if it depends on my cell phone or on the DVD.

    I tried to boot the laptop with Windows 7 DVD inside, start the system by the DVD, but it ask me to format the partition where are the files of vista and is not an upgrade. I bought an upgrade just do not remove previous programs and do not format the first partition of the drive of my laptop.

    How do, which can, I turn to?
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Does anyone know to escape?

    thanx 4 your answers

  • Satellite A300 (PSAJ0E) - update after the BIOS, I can't start

    Hello

    I have an A30, and I tried a bios update to 4.2 which is the latest version for my model. BIOS update went well spent, that it prompted me to restart the laptop once the process is complete, but after this, I was not able to start. I made the screen where I can enter the BIOS Setup (that I can actually do and I am able to change the settings and save them) but after that the screen goes black and it crashes.

    At first, I thought I did something wrong and upgrade does not work well, then I started looking for the bios crisis recovery methods, I found this article:
    http://CRD.Y1.cc/
    After the steps, I managed to get my USB floppy drive works and, hopefully, flashing the BIOS, but it didn't help it would always hang at the same stage.

    My laptop has a warranty expired, so I can't fix it for free, and the service will probably cost me half of its price. Is there anything else I can do to get it fixed?

    I thought to Flash an older version of bios - perhaps the last 4.2 is not really compatible with my model, but I couldn't find everything... is it possible to get an older version of bios and give it a try with a floppy drive?

    Thank you
    Anton

    *@DCRM*
    You have a laptop A300D. It s a series different and, therefore, you couldn't t use the BIOS files designed for A300 series!
    This may damage the module ROM and mobo!
    You can find the latest version of the BIOS on the Toshiba European page of the driver... otherwise, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance, or an older version of BIOS.

  • Satellite A300-17N - update of the BIOS has not

    Hello

    I tried updating the bios with the winflash utility of toshiba-site official. He created a backup file and pasted into the half of the process. Then when I tried to restart the screen was white (without food). I hear the cpu works, the fans, the lights on the keyboard and hard drive. But I can't hear the beep on startup and the screen as I said is empty without power.

    Hello

    The Bios needs to be reflashed. Contact the service center:

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8K stuck in the BIOS after that the BIOS is flashed

    Hi all

    I used the utility to update the BIOS of Toshiba on this machine. It was working fine before, now it is blocked with the Toshiba Startup logo. Pressing F2 or F12 don't work. Pressing ESC. Gives the following error. No TPM or TPM has problem. Everything else seems as usual. It shows the BIOS 6.00, which is what I had in theory flashed to.

    I guess the flash gone bad. Is there a disaster for this recovery procedure?

    Hi guys

    It seems really turned something went wrong during the BIOS update process.
    Perhaps a new module ROM BIOS flashing could solve this problem.

    The point is that you need a BIOS version of special rescue and the drive to reflash the module ROM.
    But only the authorized service provider has such special rescue tool and only the ASP technician can reflash the BIOS.

    So maybe it's not a real solution but a tip how to get a solution
    I would recommend so contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop and a reflash BIOS.

    Best regards & good luck

    The update of the BIOS?

    Hello

    Load default settings in the BIOS before you start the update?

    If you update the BIOS make sure you are logged in as administrator and unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update.
    Close all running programs, also the firewall and antivirus and try to update again.

    By the way: why you want to update the BIOS? Is this really necessary?

  • Satellite A350-20 q - screen is blank when installing Fedora 11

    Hi all..

    A few months back, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A350-20 q. The problem is when I try to install Fedora 11 on this laptop. When I start using the bootable DVD and try to install, the screen turns off after that a check of the media is complete. There is no graphical interface for installation.

    However, he does very well and settled on a Satellite A300 and one laptop of another as well. What can be the problem?

    I tried the two variants for different architectures i386 and a x86_64. Same problem in the DVD. Please help :(

    Hello

    What happens if you install Windows or another Linux distro? Maybe Fedora 11 isn't compatible with your laptop and you get a blank screen.
    Check it!

    In addition, I agree with Akuma and you should try to update the BIOS and also reset to the default values.

  • Satellite A300-177: using XP - no sound a modem and

    Hello

    I have laptop that Toshiba Satellite A300-177 preinstalled with Vista. When I installed xp on it I'm unable to install the modem and audio.
    Conexant high definition SmartAudio 221
    HDAudio Soft Data FAX Modem With Smart CP

    I downloaded driver for audion with the name following (ConexantHDAudio 221_XP.zip), but when I install this driver there is an error message that no audio device is set by your system.

    Please help me to install audio

    The right question is known, for me, the installation of patches from Microsoft:
    * KB888111 and KB835221 * is the key!

    First install the two patches.

    Then restart the laptop and access the Device Manager. There you should find one or two markets PCI device with the yellow exclamation point.
    You must remove these devices and should restart the machine.

    Then the operating system should recognize a new device and should ask the driver.
    Then, you install the Realtek audio driver.

    Regarding the modem driver. Well, just check the modem drivers for another maybe series laptop, it works also.

  • Satellite A300-1NO - Power Saver crashes

    Hello

    I get a fatal error when starting electric saver application, code 0 x 2

    I have a Satellite A300 1NO with Windows XP. When the energy saver tries to start it gives this error code and accidents. This happens with the installer to start too.

    Assuming that the cause is the lack of files required by power saver. What can we then these files?
    ProgFiles/Toshiba and its subfolders are intact. I deleted some files from windows dir, who seemed unused, and needles. for example. directories and temporary files. And I think, that it is possible that some useful files have been deleted accidentally.

    So, it is possible that the cause is missing some files in windows? Otherwise, I have no idea of what was happening here exactly...

    Post edited by: Emoryy

    Hello

    I ve page no idea why your Power Saver crashes but before install you any what Toshiba you tools should updated Win XP to the current state, and then you need to install the common Modules of the European of Toshiba.

    Common modules is an essential component of Windows systems.
    He will perform the other original programming from TOSHIBA to work properly.

    So uninstall the old Power Saver, clean the registry and operating system with a free tool (i.e. CCleaner), install common Modules, and Power Saver.

    Good bye
