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.

• 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

  Q3. My Dell usable without internal hard drive but with (once again) external USB hard drive?

  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.

• When you try to install Vista, receive the message "this computer hardware can not supported booting from this drive." Disk 0 unallocated space.

  Hi n m,

  Boot you from the DVD to start the installation, or have you started the installation in the existing version of Windows?

  I would like to know if you want to perform a new installation or an upgrade installation.

  You can not install Windows on an unallocated partition, if you install vista on brand\fresh the new hard disk, you will need to create partitions on the hard disk.

  Method 1:  Format the partition and then try to install Windows Vista.

  Important: The applications on the computer and all data will be lost when you format (New Installation) of the partition.

  Method 2: You can follow the steps mentioned in the article below

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that has initialized the hard drives: "this computer's hardware can not supported booting from this drive.

• Satellite A25-S279 - Cant Boot From USB Drive

  Hello everyone. I'm new here.

  Is there anyway that I can boot from a hard disk on the A25 USB? In any case to update the BIOS to give me the option to boot from USB hard drive?

  I already went through the BIOS and used the HWsetup nothing helps.

  I want to run Linux on a mini-usb HDD, I just picked up, but I can't seem to boot from the USB connection.

  Please let me know.

  Hello

  You on the right, the BIOS supports a boot from the USB FDD.
  BUT it is not possible to boot from the USB HARD drive or USB key

  The BIOS offers these startup options:
  HDD, CD/DVD, LAN or USB FDD

• Tecra A10 with Intel WiFi 5100 running Vista 32 bit fails to connect WiFi

  Hello

  a whole new Tecra A10 with buildin Intel 5100 WiFi fails to connect to the Wlan router, using the pre-installled Vista Business 32-bit. Vista has always said: wrong password.

  Yes, Wifi hardware is enabled, of course. And Tecra WiFi OK MAC is stored in the config of the router. Also the WiFi settings were correct (wpa2-psk aes), corresponding to the Wlan router. Password WPA2 is 13 characters. Connect all the other machines with a Wlan successfully turns a working Wlan configuration and use of the correct password.

  I installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site - without success. I also installed the version of the driver from the Intel site will, too--without success. Doesn't matter what tool I used to connect, Vista itself, or the specific tool of Toshiba (Radar), choice to get an encrypted Wlan connection.

  WPA2 and WPA or WEP can be used. I can't get a Wlan connection when encryption is totally * disabled *! Currently, I use a * clear * Wlan to use this Tecra A10 in the network. Real gross and no solution for more than a few days.

  All other devices in the same network can connect the router Wlan with WPA2-PSK and WEP, no problem. Only the A10 / WiFi 5100 fails.

  Searching the Web I found really many reports all issue of WiFi with a WiFi 5100 devices, so it seems to be a generic material or / and driver issue.

  How can I correct this Wifi 5100 connect problem and use encryption WPA2-psk on Tecra A10 and WiFi 5100 with Vista? If this is not possible, I have to return this laptop and get another model with a working Wifi / Wlan Hardware.

  Thank you.

  Hello Thomas

  Have you tried to connect your laptop to another router by friends or elsewhere?
  It is really strange that you can use any of the WIFI ciphers available.
  Have you tried to reboot your router?

  I have Satellite A300-1LI with the same card, WLAN, preinstalled with Toshiba recovery WXP image and I use it sometimes linked to the WLAN with WEP encryption.
  Have you tried to contact Toshiba or your local dealer for advice?

• My iMac can boot from an external drive?

  Hello

  I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

  Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.

• Qosmio F60 - 14K - can't boot from SSD drive

  Hello

  Im trying to install a new SSD, but can't, because I can't boot from SSD disk, "Insert a system startup disk" works great as a USB key, even installed Windows 7 top and tried to boot from it, but with a bit of luck.

  I have not tried to switch between IDE/AHCI, but that, because I don't have this option in BIOS. I think I've tried everything I can test, all the tips/help would be much appreciated!

  And so the part of the BIOS by joke to call bios all you can change the settings of the clock and the bootorder more or less!
  Anywhy for more options?

  Hey Buddy,

  I'm a little confused about your ad m... You wrote that you have installed Windows 7 on it, but you can t boot?
  You get an error message during installation or what exactly is going on?

  Have you ever tried to restore the factory settings of the recovery on new SSD disk?

  Hmm I put t know what BIOS options you want but I think Qosmio F60 BIOS has enough options.
  Normally with the BIOS default settings everything works fine.

• I can't boot from HARD drive or CD/DVD - drive Satellite C

  I want to recover my laptop & I need to boot from the CD-ROM.
  I pressed F12 first time & boot from the cd, but I discovered that I put another cd just when I rebooted (rightly) I couldn't boot from the cd or hard drive.

  When I connect to the hard drive in the bios was detected but not available in the boot priority menu. Just the network card was there & now I can't boot from smoker hard drive cd/dvd. BIOS version is 1.30

  PLEASE HELP ME

  > When I connect bios hard drive has been detected but not available in the boot priority menu. Just the network card was there & now I can't boot from smoker hard drive cd/dvd.

  This means that the HARD drive or CD/DVD drive appears in the BIOS boot option?
  Strange, what model of laptop do you have?
  Have you tried default BIOS?
  Otherwise this (press F9 and save the changes to the BIOS)

• Tecra A2 - boot from HARD drive external

  Hello everyone,
  I am trying to install a Linux on an external USB HDD and boot this drive. What is a configuration?
  Can I boot from a USB Memory Stick?
  Thank you very much.
  Stefan

  Hello Stefen

  As far as I know that it is not possible to boot from the external HARD disk drive. It is not supported in the BIOS.

  I'm not sure of the USB but I saw a short period in the electronic store that memory USB sticks with description Bootable. I have one and I can't give you a good answer to your question.

  Good luck!

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

  Thank you for your answer

  Before buy you, you can also talk with your local dealer about this.
