• Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

  I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
  Please, help me!

  Hello

  You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
  If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
  A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

  You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

  Check this back and forth!

  Good luck

• Re: Satellite C650D-12J refuses to boot from the recovery DVD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C650D-12J which has recently been ravaged by a virus and now refuses to start. Whenever he tries to boot into Windows, it restarts and blue screens.

  I ordered the Toshiba recovery media as the most simple solution is to recover the laptop and restore the default settings.

  However, when I insert the recovery DVD and choose to boot from the CD/DVD get them all is a loading bar that turns to a black screen with the white cursor. It's her!

  Can anyone suggest a solution?

  Kind regards

  Hi MrChris,

  You have the same problem if you try to reinstall Microsoft Windows or just Toshiba Recovery disk?

• 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:

• Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

  I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

  My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

  I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

  I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
  I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

  I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  BTW, this is Windows 7, I'm trying to get back to.

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• It is not possible to boot from the CD bootable on Satellite S5200-902

  Hello

  I have a Satellite S5200-902 and it was really good to use for me actually... Once I received a system error message and might start Windows more. Anyway... I tried to reinstall the OS, but I can't boot from the recovery CD. The CD is ok because I tried it on my other computer. I press F12 for the boot menu option it shows these items as HARD - disk drive - CD drive.

  I choose CD and nothing happens. He always tries to start from the HARD drive. I installed the Windows on the HD satellite on my other computer and it worked very well. He has installed the system but if I put the HD Toshiba Satellite does not start windows. It blocks the laptop.

  BIOS version is 1.30 and I don't know how to install and update the bios 1.8 or something on it, because I don't know how to install it without windows. I now have no idea how to go ahead?

  Can anyone here help me out please because I have no idea?
  Please someone help me ASAP because I need the laptop for work.
  Thank you

  Best regards.

  Hello

  It would be very interesting to know if you can boot from another CD, for example from the original CD of Microsoft.
  It s interesting because I would like to know if the drive of the laptop accept another CD.
  In my opinion, there is something wrong with the internal drive and so the laptop can not boot from the recovery CD.

• Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

  Hey all,.

  I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

  Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

  I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

  The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

  I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

  When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

  What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

  Help!

  Hi Jamie,

  Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

  If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

  Kind regards

• How can I configure Satellite A300-148 boot from the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I had some problems when trying to install MAC - OSX, for her, where the partition table is deleted, then I retrieve the entire score as it is, but I can not start in any case.
  Then I decide temproraly install another copy of vista drive Vista (not the partition), then set up my laptop to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall the good copy.
  My problem is, it's all here, the only problem is, I need to configure the system to boot from the recovery partition.

  My device is:
  Satellite A300-148

  Thanks to the device.
  Ahmed.

  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• How to force boot from the CDROM on Satellite M40 183

  I have error in the MBR on the drive in my laptop, it doesent from disk, before I had put into hibernation system (Windows XP).

  Now, I can't force boot from the CDROM
  in the bios, CDROM is selected as first boot-> nothing
  on bootking, I am pressing end F12 choose CDROM icons-> notking
  on bootking by pressing 'c'-> notking

  and I have a problem:
  -system does not boot
  -recovery disk will not start, and I can't fix it :/

  I'm sure that the cd drive is right.

  I recognized before, makes this hibernation, it is imposible to boot from the cdrom

  but there must be a way to force anyway.

  Thanks for any help.

  Mateusz

  Hello Mateusz

  The hibernation mode cannot be responsible for this kind of question. I'm sure that this option is properly put to the test and if there is some sort of suspicion it won't be available more.
  If you have any problem with MBR, it can also be damaged by some kind of virus. As far as I know that the easiest way to repair or rebuild MBR is to run the standard Microsoft called FDISK utility with a parameter/MBR, as
  A:\ > FDISK. EXE/MBR
  FDISK is a standard utility included in MS-DOS, Windows 95, 98, me.

• Boot from the 2nd drive HARD modular bay adapter (satellite P20)

  Hello

  I have a SP20-102 and I replaced the stock model with a 120 GB Seagate HDD and moved the original disc in a Module Bay HDD adapter.

  Is it possible to configure things so I can choose which HARD drive to boot from at the start, i.e. it is by default on the internal HARD drive but I can't choose to boot from the HARD drive in the modular Bay?

  I tried pressing F12 to boot device selection screen, but am unable to choose the 2nd HARD drive.

  Any ideas?

  R.

  Hello Robin

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD drive. It is not supported.
