• Satellite Pro A40: How boot from CD?

  Hi all.

  I received an A40 to go there for a friend, and I'm fighting. He is currently a little cycling through the boot process. It does the same thing when I'm in the mode without failure of XP.

  In any case, I tried to run the recovery CD, but I can't to start their. I managed to get into the BIOS (hold the ESC key after turning on), but that only allows me to update the time system & the password (which is currently displayed in form "unregistered"). It shows the boot sequence in the HDD first, he performed successfully each time (but not far enough to be of any use). So, how to boot from a CD?

  I found an article for a 30 that said to press C during startup or the home screen Toshiba or F12 at the splash screen, but none of them seem to have no effect.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Pete

  Yes, you may be able to activate the start on-screen menu by pressing F12 immediately after switch on/off the laptop.
  The C button should also allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  Try this several times. Usually, this should work if a malfunction of the computer laptop doesn t.

• Tecra A11 - 17 C - impossible to boot from LAN

  Hello

  For the last few days I worked on a Toshiba Tecra A11 - 17 c PTSE0E - 02W01GEN.

  I work in a school and we have about 15 of these laptops. I was not the person who did the origonal installation and this person has not left.

  One of the computers needed a re - build. We use an installation of LAN to windows 7 so I put prioraty device that the network card, save it and re - start.

  Then, sometimes with the error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable.
  Now, I know the NIC works fine beuse it worked before I did any messing around.

  I then checked the other laptop and I get the same error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable and they all fully functional network ports.

  So I thought ok there is something in the BIOS.
  I found nothing apart an Enable lan option that is enabled.

  It was suggested to relax the default BIOS and then format the hard drive.
  So I thought ok well first I'll try it with the BIOS reset if that does not work, I'll do a format.

  So after that it does not work I thought Okay I'll just clone your laptop work with clonezilla.

  Do I get to the windows flag then instantly the blue screen of death, I can't read it so I is much too fast.

  I thought ok I swap hard drives with the work there. The boots work the clone hard drive just fine without error at all, but the work PC hard drive load the windows flag then blue screen of death.

  I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

  I finally intertwined a hardrive work 1 different working laptop and a same new blue screen of death in wondows flag.

  It seems to me there must be something on the bios that is
  (A) stop the network port in the bios
  (B) stopping the different hard drives to work in the laptop, even if it's exactly the same laptop.

  They built from the network before for the wondows current installation works, but I have no idea what to do now.

  The error PXE - E61 Media Test failed, check the cable means that the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN, but the configuration of the installation could not proceed.
  Why?
  I m not very well why, but probably there is something wrong with the PXE server settings, etc.

  Are you sure that PXE server has been correctly configured to 100%?
  If this is not the case, check this box.

  > I then used a product recovery disc now, it's a drive of windows XP is usless. But I did anyway, and same thing again, it turns the disc fine install XP fine but the flag windows and blue screen of death.

  Always is Win XP installation could be completed, and this means that the HARD drive should be ok.
  The BSOD could be due to incompatible software or wrong / driver that is part of the recovery disk

  Are you sure that the Win XP Recovery disk you used was the right one?

  How about installation using charge Windows 7 system using the disk of Microsoft?

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

  Hi all
  First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

  So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
  But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

  I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

  I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

  I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
  I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello Kubs

  I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
  If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.

• Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD

  My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
  So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.

  Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!

  So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)

  -J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.

  Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?

  As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)

• Satellite Pro A200GE how downgrade from Vista to XP?

  Hello

  I had Satellite Pro A200GE with Windows Vista Business Edition preinstalled in it.

  Am not really satisfied with Windows Vista and I would like to downgrade to Windows XP Professional.

  I don't have a CD to install Windows XP Professional, but don't know how to install it on a Vista machine.

  I tried to boot my Vista laptop on this XP disc but no joy...

  Is there another way to install XP on the computer before installing vista?

  or I have to buy any disc retailer downgrade?

  Any help appreciated

  Thank you
  Vishal

  You can install XP on this laptop. As you say you have to boot from the XP CD to install it on the HARD drive.

  But maybe your OS doesn't see the HARD internal disk? In this case, you need to install the SATA driver first. The Manager of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager includes the SATA driver. Intel Matrix Storage manager can be downloaded from the Intel Web site.

  During the installation of Win XP, it must use the F5 key to include the SATA driver from an external FDD drive (floppy).

  If you don t have an external USB FDD then you can use the program called nLite.
  For more information, I recommend goggling for nLite software.

  Check it out ;)

• Satellite M30X-165 only boot from a hard drive possible

  Today, I tried to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 but no media like CD/DVD bootable and works of disk removable (USB key).

  Notepad only boots from hard drive.
  With F12 I have a start menu, but no matter what I select that does not work and Windows XP boots from the hard drive. Later, I changed the boot sequence in the bios, but it does not work.

  Finally, I did a bios update 1.60 zu 2.00 but I still have the problem.
  How can I boot from DVD or USB stick?

  Try please enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After doing this, try again please.
  Optical disc drive recognized and listed correctly in the BIOS settings?
  It works when you use it in Windows?

  Also try another thing. Put the bootable disc in ODD and shut down your laptop. Reboot and press the C key several times. If I m remembering well this should force ODD as first bootabe.

• 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:

  My question is: my BIOS can manage a booting from a USB key?

  BIOS Version 2.60 64bits

  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 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?
