• Satellite M40 - 244--> Boot from a USB

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite m40-244 with a DVD player which unfortunately is out of service.

• 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.

• Re: Satellite C650 - disable boot from USB

  Can you help me please? How can I disable boot from USB?

  Hi bailonijunior,

  As far as I know it of not possible to disable certain devices to boot.

  You can change the boot order in the BIOS. For example, you can set the HARD drive as first boot device. That means that the computer will always start HARD drive even a bootable USB device is connected.

• P70-A-11N satellite: cannot boot Linux from USB flash memory

  Hello

  so far, I found no way to start an on-line system to a bootable USB key with a linux operating system installed.
  It is for sure a bios issue and the choice of preferences. Maybe someone has a solution for this problem!

  It's a P70 - A - 11N Notebook Toshiba

  Thank you very much in advance

  Hello

  I never tested the P70 - A myself, but I'm sure it will be able to boot Linux Live glue.
  Please consider what applies in your case:

  -your computer running Win 8.X (or upgraded from Win8.X to Win10) at the present time? If so, you probably use UEFI and secure boot.
  -you use an able to start with active secure boot Linux dist? End tracks major distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora (and probably many others!) can start with active secure boot.
  S ' Please keep in mind that victory 8.X can be a bit tricky. Cold boot (power off boot), it normally (it's adjustable in power management, so that it is not written in stone!) the unit will not worry if there are other bootable media from the unit (such as a USB key). Or he'll care for your F12-pressings reach the start menu.
  To get the start menu, you should let Windows start on a connection or a desk. Then select restart.
  The operating system stops and the device will restart. When this happens, you have to be quick and press F12 repeatedly to interrupt the boot process.
  Look at the screen. As soon as TOSHIBA logo appears, press F12 repeatedly.
  You should get the boot menu.

  I hope this helps!

  How to boot from usb?

  Hi esc.

  I think that you have answered the question yourself because you've posted all the startup options that are available and there is no option to boot USB on this laptop.

  All you can do is to install the latest BIOS, but as far as I know Satellite M40 can t boot from USB!

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

• 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?

• 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 M40-244 - cannot start from CD after driver change

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M40-244 and the original DVD drive is faulty. So I changed the drive with one that is exactly the same (same brand, same date of manufacture).

  Under Windows, the new disk is recognized and works perfectly. However, when I try to boot from the CD, I am not able to do. I successfully changed the boot sequence in the bios, I tried all possible combinations without success.

  One thing I remember is that when I tried to boot from the faulty driver, I got the message 'Not bootable CD' (the tested CD is bootable and tested on other computers)

  Any idea anyone, I desperately need to install a new OS. :-(

  Hello

  I doubt that you can boot from CD t if your drive works properly in Windows...
  You can try another disc of starting, for example the Toshiba recovery disc or the disc from Microsoft, please?

  Alternative try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

  Good luck! :)
