Satellite L500-131 - it can boot from eSATA?

Hello

I want to buy a Toshiba Satellite L500-131, but first I want to know information about the BIOS of the L500.

In the BIOS you have a choice to boot on the eSATA/player device?

Thank you for your answer

Excuse me for my bad English

Nice day

I'm not 100% sure but I think that you cannot boot from the external HARD drive.
Before buy you, you can also talk with your local dealer about this.

    Norbert Ruessmann

    Hello

    A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

    I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

    Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

  • 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.

    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.

  • No wireless - Satellite L500-131

    Hello everyone. I have a problem with my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L500-131. It is supposed to connect to my router via a Repeater (Edimax Wireless 802.11n Access Point). The only way I found so that it can work is to disconnect the Repeater and the router, wait 10 seconds, plug the router, then the Repeater.

    I know that this is not a router problem, because I can get a wireless connection on my other laptop. The Repeater picks up the signal, but the Toshiba laptop is not just automatically connect. It worked right after that I installed the Repeater, but since then it works.

    I heard that microwaves or cordless phones can ruin the signal. Is it possible for a radio to do this?
    I tried to find a solution online, but it only seems to be a lot of people with a similar setup.

    Thanks for the replies!

    Hi Carangil,

    What happens if you try to establish a WLAN connection without Repeater?
    Make sure also that WLAN router and Repeater using the latest version of the firmware that you find on the Toshiba site.

    Also, try also updating the driver WLAN. From Toshiba Web site will give you the most recent version:

    Another interesting thing: is your router and the repetition of the same production? I also had a similar problem and the reason for the different manufacturers, they are not compatible set.

  • Satellite L500-131, an HDMI output to the audio amplifier

    Hello

    I can't the sound of my Satellite L500-131 HDMI port to my Pioneer amp supposed to be designed to manage these tings...

    Think the problem is in the early stages as I * don't * select "Realtek HDMI output" as default + output + option is not available.
    Playing around, I managed to get to an old Microsoft driver hidden in memory somewhere and could select HDMI output 'default' through the laptop speakers. But ultimately this ddn can't get sound through either, well that the volume to "sound board" control of Vista indicates activity signal (bars during playback of DVD)... :|

    No idea what is the problem? By selecting "Output HDMI" audio output by default seems to be a Solver for everyone, but it's the only option that is not left in me, so frustrating... :|

    Thank you very much for any help provided.

    Hello

    To be honest I often use HDMI connection on my laptop but I never had any problems with this connection. Everything is working properly and even I checked again all works well!

    Anyway, in your case, I'll try reinstalling the audio driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    If you use the HDMI connection, connect the cable first. Then turn on your TV or your amplifier and finally the laptop.
    Check it!

    None of this is really a problem Windows/Microsoft.

    A1: Ask Dell and/or consult the specifications of Dell web/FAQ pages.

    A2: The BIOS is not related to the operating system you have.  Turn off the computer, turn on the computer and immediately start typing F2.

    A3: Eventually--depends on the answer to Q1.

  • Re: Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - boot from HARD disk, you can't install Win on new SSD

    I recently bought an SSD to improve performance a little, I of course want to install Windows on this.

    The problem is that the laptop recognizes that the SSD is here, it tries only to start from what he can of course because it is empty.

    Announces 'Check media [fail]' as well as ' no. Bootable Devices Found '.

    I went into the start menu and tried booting from CD and USB, none of these options work, and again, the system attempts to boot from the Virgin SSD.

    I've set both the USB and the DVD drive as the first boot device. Yet once, none of them work and you guessed it, the system attempts to boot from the empty unit.

    What Miss me? There must be a way to get the system to boot something other than the Virgin SSD.

    Out of curiosity, but what version of Windows you trying to install?

    Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  • Re: Satellite NB10T-A-101 - cannot boot from USB key

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

    However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
    + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

    I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

    Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

    This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
    Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Just a few questions:
    Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
    If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
    Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

    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?

  • Satellite U400-10j - how to boot from a USB flash drive?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-10j.

    I have Ubuntu on my USB flash drive, now I want to boot from it.

    I can't find the option in the BIOS to boot from the Usb flash drive.

    Second, I noticed that the phone also has an internal memory card reader.
    I could load Ubuntu top then to start the memory stick as well?

    Your help will be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I think that it s not able to boot from a USB key on this laptop.
    The best way is to use a CD. There, you can start on this notebook and all other laptops.
    In the Internet there are many versions of CD of Ubuntu and other Linux systems.

    And as said Feliks, it s not able to boot from an SD card because it is not in the BIOS.
