• Satellite L40-139 can boot from a USB device?

  Hello

  I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I can't find an option to boot from a device USB like a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if the L40-139 can boot from USB and is thus the configuration of the BIOS for this.

  If she can not someone knows if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?

  I must admit that, although I love the L40, I am disappointed how to limit the BIOS is.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know, you cannot use USB HDD as first boot device. USB floppy Yes, but with external HARD disk drive, it won't work.

• 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 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 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 :)

  Bad new boyfriend!

  I get a DVD Super Multi drive _usb_ but does not have same problem.

  Please FEM answer me

  thanx

  Hello

  You said that you are using a USB DVD Super Multi Player?

  Sorry, buddy, but I think that you will not be able to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive
  AFAIK BIOS doesn t support this!

  You must use the use of the internal CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the disk!

• Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

  See you soon
  MB

  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.

• Satellite L40-139 - cannot stop because it still restarts

  Hi all

  I have a l40-139 with 2 GB of RAM & Vista Home Premium. Since I bought this laptop there was 1 single persistent bug. When I select (any method) shutdown the laptop reboots always.

  I have disabled all options "wake on" power.

  I've updated the drivers and BIOS. And I can't get Windows vista just to stop when required. He has always turned off then restarts 3 seconds later. The only way to ensure that it turns off and stays off it to press the power button for 10-15 seconds. Or delete lead battery & power.

  I googled and not found a solution.

  Does anyone else have this problem? and a fix for it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  A friend of mine had the same problem. He solved the problem as it has disabled more upward on the LAN feature in the BIOS and Windows.
  Check the BIOS for this option and Windows you can find it in Device Manager > properties of network card.

  In addition, I will disable the function Sleep & USB support in the BIOS.

  I hope I could help you! :)

• Cannot start XP installation on Vista Home Premium preinstalled Satellite L40-139

  Here's the problem:

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L40-139 in Austria and comes preinstalled Vista. OK, Vista is in German, and I don't know German. But I made a choice to learn German and to start using a Vista. After a month Vista drives me crazy (no language, just for Vista) and I want to just install XP. I didn't need something more.
  I spent more then five days trying to archive this, but without success and I am disappointed, much.

  I put aside all types of teaching and I did a lot of things, but none of them helped me.
  So the problem is like this:
  I made the partition for XP, so I have two partitions as: Vista (C), (D) XP and Datas (G) and my CD/DVD (E :).
  I activated just boot from the CD/DVD, but when I insert the CD and start the installation of Vista it tells me something like this:
  Press any key to boot from CD...
  When I do that, I get a message, which is very fast where it says something like that, (I'm not quiet sure what it says because it's fast):
  Checking your configuration...
  After that, nothing happens, don't know why, I just get black monitor and CD/DVD does not work anymore?

  It's driving crazy me and I can't install XP.
  It seems that does not recognize the CD/DVD, and I tried with several XP bootable CD/s and they work on my desk.

  Can someone help, please, because I'm going crazy?

  If you have installed XP on this notebook L40 Vista you need a BIOS update to the XP version. All that s

  The painting is part of the Windows OS. It of not possible to uninstall it.

  There seems to be an error of operating system... maybe the system is confused upward...
  try to clean the operating system using the CCleaner...
  It cleans the registry and maybe it helps to get rid of this error...

• Satellite L40-139: new graphics driver is causing the problem after waking from sleep

  I have a three month old Toshiba Satellite L40-139 (PSL40E) with 1 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed. This laptop worked very well for me for the basic headquarters far tasks, and I would have no problem recommending.

  In the last days I've updated the software and drivers from the Microsoft Update web site.

  Since the update driver Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family (to version 7.14.10.1350, dated October 18, 2007), the screen resolution at 800 x 600 after awakening from the sleep state. The only way I found to fix it is to restart the PC.

  Other articles published on the web, I understand that this particular driver (Mobile Intel(r) 945 Express Chipset Family driver 7.14.10.1350 version) has caused many other problems on a variety of hardware and software platforms.

  Does anyone have a definitive solution for Satellite L40?

  I looked at four options.

  1. let the new installed driver and restart Windows each time after waking up from sleep mode. Rather, I must not do this.

  2. using the Restore Point created by Windows Update before the update of the driver, roll back to an earlier time. This seems to be a good course if it works.

  3 download an older version of the driver and reinstall it. I don't know which version would work but note that others have had success with the 7.14.10.1280 version. I guess a similar version could be included in the driver Package that can be downloaded from Toshiba Europe site, but have heard that the time required to download this software can exceed ten hours and am therefore reluctant to try.

  4. the fourth option is not really possible. I should be able to "Roll-Back" the driver in Device Manager, but the button is disabled.

  Although only a minor problem, it is very irritating and I would like to address them without causing other problems. Does anyone else have this problem? Someone has fixed it successfully?

  Hello Peter

  If I understand correctly, you use your usual laptop for daily work and you don't need any computer high-performance notebook. If I'm right I have to say that you should be happy if the laptop works well and stable.

  I don't really see any reason why you wanted to update chipset driver. In any case, you should try to roll back the BONES of time earlier and I hope everything will work again. There is absolutely no risk, and you can test it.

  Please post the result.

• Cannot run the CHKDSK - Satellite L40-139 process

  When I start my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L40-139) always starts to run chkdsk
  He completed the phase 1 and then when it is at 30% through stage 2 it just goes directly to the login screen.

  I was wondering if someone can help me correct what I want to start the whole process.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can run chkdsk after Windows has started.
  Type in the CMD COMMAND.
  The console should open and there you can use the command * chkdsk *.

  That's all.
