  Hello

  You can access the start menu without changing the boot order in the BIOS.
  Turn on the laptop, press F12. Usually, you should get a boot menu where you can choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  PS: I would recommend created a Toshiba drive recover first before formatting the laptop!

• Re: How to install any boot on the Satellite A300 Vista Manager

  I want to install second OS on my A300 but can't do any boot manager works with Vista.

  IBM os/2 bootmanager can start Vista, but Vista say he can't run winload and hang up, Acronis bootmanager does not see any OS to Vista's NTFS disk...

  Hello

  Vista supports a clean Vista Boot Manager and there you can add all the installed OS.
  I did after I installed my Win XP as second operating system.

  First, I installed Win XP on the second partition but I couldn't start on Vista because Win XP damaged MBR (master boot record). That's why I started again from disk (NOT the Toshiba Recovery disk) Vista and the Vista disc to repair the MBR.
  Then, I started in Vista and edited the BCD. You can use the freetool like EasyBCD because that would be the best way to add a second operating system for the Vista Boot Manager.

• USB ports on the Satellite P10-340 does not

  On Christmas day, my son had problems loading PC games on my laptop. After several attempts, he gave up eventually pointing upwards. During an attempt, he started typing on the keyboard and by dragging the mouse in all directions in anger. As it happened I was unable to use the USB ports. Nothing seems to be recognized, and yet all the diagnostic checks suggests they work properly!

  There is power to the ports, but when I plug in various hardware items that they are not recognized. Could games my son tried to load have damaged the computer, or would it be the way it has treated the keyboard and mouse? Is there anything I can do to get ports working again?

  Thank you, Ernie

  Go into the Device Manager and remove all the USB ports.
  After the new reboot of the laptop, the ports should recognize the new port
  Then you could try to connect a USB device like mouse and check if it works.

  By the way: some devices like scanner or webcam need a drivers additional

• 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.

• BIOS wouldn't boot on the Satellite L30 - 101 with 2 x 1 GB RAM

  I bought the machine with a module of 512 MB RAM of PC World. Everything worked OK, but Vista performance was not so good.

  I decided to increase the RAM memory and bought two 1 GB modules. After you install both modules, the BIOS seems to hang.
  Sometimes the screen stays black with a cursor flashing on the left, sometimes top that the Welcome screen appears
  but when I hit F2 to enter setup that has nothing happened.

  I removed one of the memory modules and rebooted the machine - everything beautiful, Vista has started.

  I've interchanged the modules (still 1 GB installed) and restarted - everything beautiful, Vista has started.

  Then, I added the original 500 MB in slot 2 (1.5 GB installed) and restarted - everything beautiful, Vista has started.

  The next step was to check for an update of the firmware. V2.3 on machine v2.6 upgrade BIOS.
  Has gone through the same tests to get the same results.

  An error message is displayed intermittently - it reads:

  The file is possibly corrupted. The file header checksum does not match the checksum calculated.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  seems to be a strange problem. It might be that the modules of memory are incompatible, but for that you have to post what brand these modules are, and where you bought them.

  Please report anything that is written on the modules, maybe they are really incompatible that probably a recent problem on mobile platforms, not just with computers laptop toshiba. Other brands have the same problem.

  I would appreciate any comments from you.

• Satellite T130 - 10G - how do I boot from the USB drive?

  Hello

  How can I start a USB PEN in my satellite T130 without a cd/dvd player?
  I want to install Ubuntu in my laptop.

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  You must use a USB bootable flash key.
  Then you could try to choose the USB key as device, press F12 when applying power in the start unit. Then a menu with bootable devices should appear.
  Then, you can use the arrow keys to choose the USB as a source of start-up.

• Cannot start OSs of HDD external USB on the Satellite NB10t-A-101

  I'm unable to install Linux on the Satellite NB10t-A-101, because it does not allow to boot from USB or install other OSs.I tried to circumvent this way: (it came with pre-installed Windows 8).

  (1) turning off SecureBoot (which I did)
  (2) putting USB at the top of the list of starting the computer.

  But it does not work.

  I have two HDD USB (a TPG, the other normal) partitioned and it s impossible for them starting with this model of Satellite. I m thinking to return it back to the store that I need to install/start several OSs.

  Hello

  Great that you are using Linux on your PC!

  You mention that you have disabled the secure boot.
  It is very good. But you don't say anything about the startup mode and nothing about what Linux you try to start.

  Most of the distros must support UEFI but that can't be true for each of them.
  If you want Win8 dualboot with a Linux distro, so you need to active UEFI and able to start in this mode distribution.
  If you use a late clone-Ubuntu, Fedora or OpenSuse, you should be fine!

  Another clue could be to take the USB key and try to start another PC from him.
  Which will give a clearer picture of where the problem lies: on your key or the compatibility of firmware NB10 & distro Linux of your choice.

  If you try to boot from a USB - HDD, I'm afraid I'm a bit at a loss as I've never tested.

  I hope this helps!

• USB drive not readable on the Satellite A665-13W

  Hello

  I have the following problem. I have Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 64 GB (USB 3.0) by car and it is perfectly readable on other PCs without worrying if I connect it to the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports.

  The device is detected in Windows 7 64-bit on Toshiba Satellite A665-13W and I see it in Device Manager. He invites me to open the disk E: (NTFS volume), but it looks empty when I open it in Explorer Windows with a certain delay when Explorer seems to scan drive.

  I see some errors in the event viewer such as:
  Event ID 11: driver has detected an error in the controller on \Device\Harddisk1\DR2

  But when I connect for example Patriot 8 GB USB drive it works without problem. When I boot Windows 7 in safe mode, the Kingston DataTraveler HyperX 64 GB drive is connected, and I can read it.

  What should I do to make it readable without going into safe mode?

  I have the latest BIOS 2.30, I tried to enable/disable USB legacy support, I tried the fast/normal startup, I tried to install the latest Intel Chipset drivers, I tried all USB ports, including one that can be used as eSATA port, but without success. I also uninstalled the recognized device driver and let Windows detect the device again and reinstall the driver, but also without success. I also disabled power management option to disable device, without success.

  When I start in normal mode, I can't read NTFS volume. When I boot in safe mode I can read. The USB works on other PC in normal mode. Old USB 2.0 USB key works in normal mode. Strange. It must be a firmware problem or driver in my opinion. If it is a hardware problem or device the device would not work in safe mode!

  Are USB 3.0 64 GB of storage devices that are compatible with Toshiba laptops with USB 2.0 ports?

  There could be a problem of compatibility between the USB controller and the USB key.
  This compatibility questions aren't unusual.

  But I m wondering if you could try to fix this in the other direction:
  First check to see if the USB flash memory stick would appear in disk management

  Panel-> management-> disk management computer

  Here you will see all the partitions on the HARD disk and the USB connected.
  Check if you can format the USB key once more.

  If the USB does not appear here, try this method:
  Start the console by typing CMD
  Then type the command: diskpart and press enter
  Now, type command: automount enable and press enter

  Now, close all windows and restart the laptop.

• Satellite A30 won't boot to the top

  My computer does not start at the top. Yesterday, I had the blue screen but then restarted and everything was OK. Woke up this morning to the computer does not start. I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. I got the Toshiba screen, then the black screen to choose 'Start normally', 'last good settings', 'safe mode', "safe mode with network" etc.

  I chose normal startup, then I get the Windows XP screen with the blue bar. When that has been loaded, he went back to the initial screen for Toshiba and then continues to repeat. I also tried safe mode, but that charge or the other.

  What should I do? I don't want to erase the hard drive because there a lot of important data (family photos, work) etc. Please help me

  Thank you!

  You can remove the HARD 2.5 laptop drive and you can connect it via USB to another PC. Then you may be able to save any important files.
  After this procedure the plug back in the HARD drive and boot from the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

• Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

  I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

  My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

  I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

  I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
  I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

  I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  BTW, this is Windows 7, I'm trying to get back to.
