Unable to set USB drive as first boot on my Satellite A60 device
I have an A60 which CD/DVD does not work. I want to reinstall windows XP from a USB key (I know it's possible) but impossible to define the sequence in the BIOS to boot from USB.
IT shows me boot form HDD, drive to floppy or CD that is not working and I don't have a floppy or another.
Help, please
I'm sure that on Satellite A60 boot USB is not supported. As much as I know it is possible on new laptops but not on this old model.
Now the question: How do you know that something like this is possible? I really want to learn something new.
You can also connect external HARD as for some other PC disk and copy the I386 folder on second partition. Put the HARD drive in the laptop and try to start the installation from there. The stupid thing is that you need floppy drive to get there.
Sorry, but I'm afraid that without floppy drive you will not be able to do anything.

External DVD drive as first boot option problem!
Yesterday, I got my Lenovo s10e and as it doesn't have a DVD rom, I bought a DVD burner external Liteon.
It was installed automatically when I connected via USB. OK, it works very well with windows installed on my netbook.
However, I can't solve a problem!
When I chose USB DVD/CD as first boot option in the boot menu (Setup), it does not work! Boot sequence, I changed several times, but all in vain!
The strange question is when I insert a cool drive with a bootable software, it works very well except for my DVD burner!
I contacted Lenovo after the sale, they said because my DVD Recorder connects to the netbook through USB, it is not detectable.
So, what should I do?

Pavilion 15 t-p100 CTO: USB driver for Win7 x 64 missing, also 'unknown device '.
Decommissioning of Win8.1 to Win7 x 64 Pro. Most of the drivers; opportunity of Lenovo for Realtek Ethernet controller and works well. Two unresolved problems remain under 'other devices '.
"Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller" has no driver. Seems strange, like "Generic hub USB", "Intel 8 series Enhanced Host Controller #1-9C 26", "USB Composite Device" and "USB root hub" are all installed and that responded to the questionnaire. " Tried sp61293.exe to another post, but OS unsupported.
"Unknown device" listed. Properties display these fields: Hardware ID 'ACPI\HPQ6007' and ' * HPQ6007 ', CONFIGFLAG_FAILEDINSTALL, \Device\00000054, CM_DEVCAP_SILENTINSTALL capacity 00000020, DevNode status 01802400 DN_HAS_PROBLEM DN_DISABLEABLE DN_NT_ENUMERATOR DN_NT_DRIVER, problem code 00000012, ACPI\PNP0A08\0 parents, brothers and sisters (many), install error E0000203, other fields are bad GUID and comments of unknown device.
Computing Nice, friendly OS needs. Thanks for your help.
Hello:
You can use all the W7 x 64 drivers and software (except the BIOS and firmware files) the p000-15 t on your model.
The unknown device needs this driver...
This package provides the software HP 3D DriveGuard to the notebook models that are running a supported operating system. Software HP 3D DriveGuard protects the hard drive by parking the heads if cell phone accidentally falls, or is suddenly struck by another object.
File name: sp69011.exe
There are two pilots usb3 related here. I believe that you need it...
This package provides the driver for the Intel USB 3.0 controller host for the notebook models and operating systems. The driver allows USB 3.0 devices.

Hi, I can not install any "new" USB keys or USB external drives. The error is "driver not found".
The thumb drives and external drives that I've used are working properly. The error is for the devices was not used in this machine.
I tried to follow a tip on a site and deleted INFCACHE.1 (after creating a restore point), but it has not changed the behavior.
Windows 7 32 bit.
Kind regards
Check if you have limited the available somehow drives... possibly VMWare has reserved
the drive letters. Best is to check with the VMWare Support and forums.Look in Windows disk management and see if something is there.

The first Installation fails after first Boot of the Satellite L750
Hello.
I turned on my brand-new Satellite L750 - 04K 010 for the first time tonight (bought new) and start going through the initial setup process for Windows 7 Home Premium. The installation must "Installing devices" and then hung up without activity for about 2 hours, how I decided to restart.
Then I kept getting the error windows installation has failed and would then need to restart the installation process. The computer will restart but kept coming up with the same error and the loop would continue even once.
I have not received the installation discs.
I tried to press F8 to see if the computer repair would work but only gave options to repair the system to a previous state. No Toshiba option was available.
Help!
Thanking you in advance,
Greg
It's pretty stupid situation now.
If there is no way to launch the installation of recovery once again I recommend your dealer and ask for help. With other words, ask for the replacement of the laptop.What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and explain the situation. I put t know what they can do for you, but I imagine that you will get a DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.
Of course I n don't know what the right solution, but I don't see another option for you.

USB drive not recognized on the A30-151 in XP
After a clean install of Windows XP Pro on a Satellite A30 151, a USB device remains in the category 'Other' (after installation of the graphics and audio drivers, modem) for which no driver seems to be available on the drivers CD. At this point, the category "USB" contains four entries, two standard "Universal Host Controllers" and two "OpenHost' controllers, with the default drivers.
I suspect that the missing device can be a USB 2.0 "PCI controller host improved USB" from another manufacturer, but Toshiba does not offer a driver for XP for it then it should be supported by the OS (?).
Any suggestions as to what can be and what drivers need?It turns out that XP does support USB 2.0 according to the SP1, it seems a pre - SP1 version of XP Pro leads the native Windows drivers is not available. For anyone in a similar situation, it seems as if a) upgrade to SP1 or b) install the hotfix Q312370)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Q312370_WXP_SP1_x86_ENU.exe
for the English version should throw a lot of download sites) followed by the autodetection of the native Windows drivers should do the trick. However, the following SP1 problem may come into play
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001c0d
in this case, the "NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller B1" driver required original can be found by searching for "USB driver" for "Windows 2000" for the Satellite A30 Toshiba driver download page.

What HARD drive can I use Satellite A60-125
Hello!
I would like to know what type of hard drive I can install on my satellite A60 (Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz) to upgrade the original Hitachi 40 GB. Can I install a 160/200 GB 2.5 "of any type (brand, RPM, capacity,...) or there are some limitations of the bios? Thank you.Hello Ric
There is unfortunately no public on this matter document because Toshiba does not support upgrade. Toshiba gives some info on built in hardware and also on the RAM max that can be used. Upgrade takes care of disk HARD authorized partner in your country, and they have exact information on this subject.
Yes I think there is limitation in the BIOS, but I'm sure that you can use up to 100 GB HARD drive, maybe more, but as I said it is not easy to find info on any official page of Toshiba.
If you are lucky someone will post here the news of A60 laptop upgrade. Until then try to contact find some information online. Google all over the place.

No boot USB drive without drive internal
HP ProBook 6570b (B6P79EA)
Hello
Initially, I wanted to replace the internal hard drive (Hitachi) by a cloned SSD.
That did not work. The DSS did not recognize as bootable. "No found boot device."Then I tried to use the SSD as an external USB drive.
The laptop boot from the external SSD!
(with the drive hard internal in place).But when I REMOVED the internal drive, the laptop does NOT start more USB - external SSD. (The bios boot order has been set to "first USB drive '")
Beats me.
Why the laptop can not do without the original disk internal? (A kind of strange love :-))
Solved.
It turned out that there is a MBR problem with the cloned disk.
I suppose I could have found more quickly.
What made the opaque situation, was the erratic behavior of some usb drives.
Sometimes they did start, sometimes not. I have to check this.
Now, the laptop works fine. Due to the SSD and the embedded video, there is no heat and
virtually no fan movement. Absolute silence. I love this machine.

SA30-414 boot from the floppy USB drive
Hi all!
I'm tryin to get my my satellite A30-414 to boot from the floppy USB drive and enter the dos mode, but all I get is a black screen (without a slider, of course!), and then the windows XP login page directly. Can you tell me if this model has a boot device menu shortcut keyboard?
Also, I may be permanently changed some configurations of starting (to know by pressing F12 at startup, then press F2 to try later) with my attempts to get the machine to boot from the floppy drive: now even when the floppy drive is not connected, I get this black screen awkward and then, after a few seconds, the logon windows page. How do I access the Setup menu and check?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello
You can access the start menu by pressing the F2 key during the boot process. This will take you in the "setup" menu where you can change the order of selection of boot device as well as the other BIOS settings permanently.
Kind regards
