  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.

• Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hello

  Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

  It s already installed when you plug it in.

• 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.

• How can I boot from USB - Portege A200

  Hello

  I have a Portege A200 which is only a couple of years, but the hard drive no longer works. Initially, I thought that this was due to corrupt the boot disk record, but after trying to replace the drive hard (with two different readers), is showing a #0 IDE error when starting. So I came to the conclusion that the IDE controller chip is dead.

  In order to get labour latop, I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. It starts off ok but due have only 512 MB of RAM, the system is somewhat limited and nothing installed is lost each time that I reboot.

  Now, I bought a 2 GB flash drive and installed ubuntu on it. My other problem is that there seems to be no boot from USB HDD or USB option in the bios.

  The options I can think of are:
  (1) Upgade the bios so that it supports the start of memory stick (although no HARD drive so do not know how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even an upgrade of the BIOS that would support this feature)
  (2) create a cd that starts the boot process then tells the system to continue the initialization of the USB key (this is possible and does anyone know where I might be able to get these software)
  (3) boot from CD but the use of USB to keep any recorded information / everything installs etc (I suppose that similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the entire OS and USB would just "extra" information)

  If there are other options if someone may think I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck to a laptop that is not particularly old, because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.

  I have apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  First I have to say that it of not possible to boot from the external USB device as USB, CD/DVD USB drive or USB HDD.
  It of only possible to boot from the external USB FDD (floppy) disk

  However, no opportunities for startup are clear, but I think that you misunderstood the IDE #0 error message. According to m that the IDE controller is not defective but only the new drive HARD is not compatible and not recognized by the BIOS.

  There are different reasons for this problem
  For the most part this error message appears if the HARD drive master/slave/c-salt settings are not correct.
  Generally these settings don t need to be changed or switched on the 2.5 hard disks but some hard drives support a rider that needs to be fixed in the correct position. But I put t if your HARD drive supports this

  In addition, the size of HARD drive isn't is not compatible could be the reason for these error messages!
  I would recommend so finally communicating with ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HARD drive and see if the same error still occurs.

  Good luck

• Can't boot from usb, lack of boot USB for dv7-4173us option?

  I couldn't find an option to boot from USB on my

  HP Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop BIOS.

  How to enable boot from the USB port?

  Thank you.

  Hey hpng,

  I am pleased to hear that the option is now available. When you set up a dual boot with Linux, I have very little information on how to do it. The only thing I would say, is to read the document "frequently asked Questions (FAQ) on Linux". It has a lot of frequently asked questions, but the main reason is, to the bottom of the page you will see an option to where I can find more information about Linux.

  Depending on what version of Linux you want to install, I suggest you post your question on the Linux community.

  I hope this helps!

  Hello

  It is not possible to boot from USB because the BIOS does not support this feature.
  You can boot from USB FDD, but to do this you will need a boot like Win98 boot floppy disk

  The update of the BIOS will not help you because all BIOS for series A200 don t support it!

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

• Can't boot from USB in BIOS FRIEND

  Well, yesterday, I decided to move from Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7. I then downloaded a file ISO of Windows 7 from Digital River and made a bootable USB key with it using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. Then I put the USB in my old pc to boot from it. In this game with the boot from USB, I have the problem that I think is related with my version of the BIOS. Is AMI BIOS v2.53. If I go to Boot Device Priority it shows boot devices only 3 [link1] - my c: / drive, CD-DVD-ROM and floppy. When I go to the menu hard drives [Link2], it shows all my HARD drive and the 3rd disc is my USB bootable [link3]. And to expand my USB in the Boot Device Priority menu, I put it as the 1st player [link4]. Instead, I can't put my C: / drive as the Boot Device [link5] 2nd. And after I exit and save the changes, it will not boot from usb. It appears the error "a disk read error has occurred. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» If I try to boot from another boot menu F8 [link6] button, it will also give me the same error. This problem could be linked with my BIOS version?  I don't know how to solve the problem.

• Can't boot from USB-DM1-4020sa

  Hello

  I just bought a HP DM1 Netbook AMD E-450 (4020sa).  I'm just getting started get the configuration of the computer and try to run through some diagnostics to make sure that the material is good.  I have created a 16GB bootable USB key with Memtest on it, formatted FAT32.  Works quite well on my desktop.

  However, for the life of me I can't figure out how to boot from USB on the netbook!  I tried to change the boot order, updated the BIOS, trying all 3 USB ports.  Nothing works!

  To the first pressing ESC then F9 for the start menu gave me 2 options, one to boot from USB to boot from the hard drive.  I could not choose the USB, it was selected on the hard drive of permenantly.  Now, I don't see the option at all!

  I'm considering installing Win7 x 64, Ubuntu and in future Win8... so I need to know a USB booting is possible on this netbook.

  Help, please!  Thank you!

  Well, although Memtest86 + v4.20 is supposed to support AMD E-series processors, maybe this doesn't completely still.  I created a key Reader USB with the ISO of Windows 7 x 64, following the instructions of Ars Technica and has worked without any problems whatsoever.

  Anyway, do not know why the Memtest86 + won't work, but eh... Well.  The laptop can boot from USB.

• Toshiba NB520 - can't boot from USB

  I NB520, I tried possible ways to boot from usb and it still does not work.
  I need some suggestions.
  Thank you.

  Usually the name of the USB device does not appear in the start menu.
  If you want to run rom flash USB memory key, you need to connect the USB flash first.
  Press the power button, then F12 and select USB.

  But note: USB flash memory stick must be ready for start-up.
  If it was not made "bootable" and then the boot from USB does not work.

  I have a set of recovery first disks before continuing.

  To start the PC, you must go into the BIOS and enable the legacy mode.

  Then you should be able to boot from another device.
