• Boot from USB device on Inspiron 5520

  Hey guys,.

  I got a new Inspiron 15R 5520. The problem is that I can't start the laptop from a USB key like I did on N5040 (my 2 year old laptop), and there is no option to do this. First of all, I hit "F2" to enter the BIOS Setup page, there are only 3 options under the boot device: hard drive, CD/DVD, network. I restart the computer and press "F12" to select the boot device, still no USB.

• 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 is Bootable from USB?

  Hello

  Model: Satellite M40-200 (psm40e)

  There seems to be no obvious way to boot from USB in the bios. Did I miss something?

  The closest is "USB - FDD Legacy Emulation", but that seems doing nothing when a USB device is installed.

  See you soon

  Marcus

  What USB device say you exactly? USB FDD is possible when starting.

• 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.

• Boot from USB devices or local drives in VMWare

  I have a 4 Gb WinXP SP3 bootable USB Thumb Drive and wanted to try to boot into VMWare Workstation 7. I can add it to the readers of VMWare, and its listed connected between removable devices, when a virtual machine starts, but he won't start him, just goes straight to a CD ISO (if connected) or a network (which is not available) boot disk. In VMWare machine BIOS there is no option key USB Boot-Portable devices, and it is not listed among the drives in the BIOS. Despite I can boot from it on a real PC from USB HD. Which can be a problem and how to fix it?

• Need to boot from USB device with my Portege 7020ct

  Hello!

  I need help!

  situation: me and my girlfriend go on a long trip on Tuesday. We have to work, so we bought a second hand portege 7020ct.
  However, there is no CD or diskette drive. Win98 is installed but no drivers for the modem. infrared can locate other computers, but is not able to connect.
  so the rare thing I have is a usb connector.

  I want to install win2000 or at least put some data on the hard drive.

  So I need to use my external cd drive or usb key. the problem is, the system (usb port) find the external hard drive and the USB, but I need to install drivers to prepare! But how? --> no internet, no floppy drive, no internal cd, without infra-red...

  What can I do?

  I tried to get into the bios to see if it is possible to boot from the usb slot, maybe get the external drive runnin and then install win2000.
  but I can´t know how to get into the bios! .. .but I m don't know if it will work.

  How do I enter the bios?
  Anyone have any idea what I can do? How can I get drivers in the system?
  How can I get the disc runnin external or USB?

  Please, I beg you! I need help very quick, cause tomorrow is my last day...

  Thanks to everyone in advance

  Hi Deko,

  The key in the power up takes you to the BIOS settings.

  Installing the drivers could be difficult. I have a 7010CT and there is no option to boot from USB (only floppy - HDD - CD - lan). I don't think that Windows 98 supports USB sticks without additional drivers. I upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 by using a PCMCIA cdrom external and from the installer of Windows 98. Maybe you could try to use a network card PCMCIA to try to find a disk for the Portege.

• 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.

  I would like to know if it is possible to boot from a USB key to reinstall Windows or Linux. In the BIOS there only HDD, floppy, CD-ROM, and LAN drive options.

  Does anyone know how to boot from a USB? I tried an external USB DVD drive, it does not work. I don't know if I'm doing the right way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know that of not possible because the M40 BIOS does not support this!
  As you mentioned in your ad; There is only one option for booting from the HARD drive, ODD, LAN and USB FDD (floppy)

• 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 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?

• How do disable you booting from removable devices on Satellite R830?

  Hi all

  Can someone help me find a way to disable booting from removable devices on a toshiba Satellite R830.

  Thank you?

  Hello

  You can't disable booting from a boot device.
  You can simply change the boot order in the BIOS.

  If you don t want to start, for example: USB, just put the HARD drive as first boot device.
  Now the laptop will boot first from the HARD drive. If it isn t HARD (because of missing systems) bootable disk, the BIOS will pass to the next device, IE: CD/DVD player
