• Portege 3480CT: how to make a USB bootable floppy drive?

  I need help to make a USB bootable floppy drive.
  My laptop 3480CT has not the traditional floppy drive instead, it uses a USB floppy drive and the bios has an option to boot from USB FDD.

  I would like to use a USB key to start (a Lexar Jumpdrive 32 MB 05dch 0080 h and GTX 1 GB 1516 h pid pid 8628 h), instead of the floppy. I want to load the boot XP on floppies, so I run recovery programs using chkdsk.

  I tried the usual suspects, the bootloader makebootfat and mkbt20 HP.
  I tried the demo version of the commercial product Flashboot.
  I photographed a floppy back 5.0 system on the USB key using the I-Setup demo.
  All failed including the specific option in the makebootfat images for FDD option and 3 different options of Flashboot.

  I ran
  http://Enos.itcollege.EE/~mkalme/Pahn/tut/tut.html

  Using Hexplorer ICY, I was able to confirm that the DOS5.0 on the boot sector pendrive is identical to the diskette.
  I could start in Dos5.0 from a floppy disk with drivers USB Panasonic and confirm that my Lexar was a system of 1.44 MB disk and command.com displayed in the directory. The GXT is not recognized by the Panasonic, nor BACK USB drivers to Duse 4.4 4.9. Another worrying indicator, it is my computer XP did not see all of the files on the pendrives, not command.com, or two hidden files (view all the hidden files option).

  I learned that Transcend a specific option that creates a bootable 1.44 mb floppy
  image on their USB key.

  Here is what I have gathered, corrections and suggestions are welcome.

  Interface USB the USB protocol specifications

  bInterfaceSubClass field specifies the Protocol
  01 order reduced block (RBC) a flash device
  UFI 04 a floppy drive floppy drive
  05 FDD SFF-8070i SFF-8070i command blocks however, funding may be in a different subclass for example RBC

  bInterfaceProtocol field specifies the transport protocol
  00 control/Bulk/Interrupt (CBI) with break of completion for FFD only
  01 CBI without interruption of completion for the FDD only
  transport in bulk only 50 h, including priming

  I don't know if the USB controller must imitate the FDD Protocol.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You cannot boot from the USB key.
  The BIOS of the laptop does not support something like that.
  Laptop factory supports and use different BIOS versions. As far as I know on this laptop Toshiba BIOS was installed.

  To my knowledge this BIOS does not support booting from the USB key, but only the HDD, ODD, LAN or USB - FDD.
  If you want to boot from USB FDD, you can create a bootable FDD floppy.
  Windows operating system creates the boot floppy drive when you right click on the connected floppy drive and select format. Then simply choose the option create MS-DOS startup disk start.

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba 250 GB Usb external hard drive because the seller advised me telling me that it works in my iBook G4 Mac OSX computer.

  I made it and I see it on my desktop with a folder called System Volume Information and 2.32 GB available.

  I tried to copy a file and I got a message saying that the disk is not editable.

  Where can I find the instructions to initialize if it's compatible?

  Thanks in advance,

• Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

  When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

  I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

  I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

  Please help and thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
  The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
  You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

  Good bye

• I can start my F30 since an external floppy drive?

  I use Norton Ghost to clone a copy of my hard drive on my PC for disaster recovery and requires a m/c boot hard disk when I use Ghost. I want to do the same thing on my F30 but have no idea if I can configure the F30 to boot from an external floppy drive. If possible can someone please tell me how to change the boot sequence, as I have not any experience based laptops. Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I use Norton Ghost 2003, and I am very satisfied. It works under windows and you can create the image file on the second partition or even create DVDs of recovery immediately without using floppy. I can recommend it just for you.

  Back to your question: with your Qosmio model, you can use the floppy with follow-up part number PA3109U-3FDD drive. If I remember correctly, you can press the U button just after switching on the unit and the unit should start using floppy drive as first boot device.

• Computer laptop (Vista) does not take account any new working USB external hard drive

  Hello, I'm under the latest version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium on a Dell XPS M1210 and spin in the problems with the connection of my second USB external hard drive. In other words, when I plug the drive (a Seagate expansion 1 TB), nothing happens. Literally nothing, no notification of installation of the driver, no sound is played stating that the system recognized the device, no new entry in post working or disk management. I connected this drive on another computer running Windows 7 and it worked without a problem, so I do not suspect the problem to lie in the hard drive, but with my computer. My other external hard drive USB, a Maxtor Basics Portable 250 GB, works perfectly, but there more than two years. I bought the 1 TB Seagate as a backup and an upgrade, but I plan to go back now that there is nothing more than a big black Clipboard with a green LED clear too much room. What can I do about it?

  Hello
   
  Most likely, there is not enough power for the USB port of your machine to the external device do recognize. As a test I would have you test the issue on another USB plug.
   
  I recommend you contact you either OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or the manufacturer of the motherboard if it is a machine of casting House and get the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard.

• Response speed - USB external hard drive

  Hello

  I have W7 Professional (32 bit) installed on an Acer Ferrari 5000 with 4 GB of RAM. I have a 1 TB WD My Book USB external hard drive connected via USB.

  When I access the drive to play an Explorer of W7 film shows my folder & first screen load files instantly, but then the green progress under the full path bar direcory slowly starts to move across the screen and may take up to 3 minutes to stop. Durning his time my pc performace Marc everything stop. The video load but Windows Media Watch does not respond and the hourglass (or a circle in W7) shows the application as it is busy. Finally, video begins to play but jumps several images at once, even if the sound is fine. After about a minute the video started playing at double speed, befire the entire process repeats itself until it catches up with the sound and the video will play very well for about 10 minutes.

  Videos are not damaged (I can play my portable hard drive very well), the device signals healthy in the WD diagnostic tool and the firmare for the device is up to date (on the WD site).

  I see a lot of people in this forum have problems with W7 64 bit, but there is no mention of 32-bit issues. Also there never was problems with the device was detected or is not accessible - gal just access the device. My only job is about from the drive to copy the movie on my laptop and play it from there - which kind of defeated the purpose.

  I left a similar post on the WD website, which so far had no response. Is it a question of W7/USB? Any other ideas would be useful.

  Speed on USB hard drives is relatively slow at first. You are looking at maximum read anywhere between 25 and 32MBs speed if the CPU is not do much else at the time. Supported playback mode tend to transfer bog down over time, as the fragmentation of the file. USB is convenient but firewire and eSATA are faster and faster.

• Satellite L20-100 can be started from a USB external hard drive?

  I recently bought Toshiba Satellite L20-100 and I wonder if:
  1. is it possible to boot this machine from a disk usb external drive?
  2. it is possible to attach another internal hard drive?

  Assuming that the two answers above are 'no', how can we solve the following problem: I need hard drive space, I need to launch 3 systems of separate Wxp operating on the same machine (Toshiba Satellite L20-100).

  You are right. The answer is no. Only thing you can do is to create 3 partitions and install on each a favorite OS. Using the Boot Manager, you will be able to choose one that fits in the beginning upward.

  Hello

  Seems that the external HARD disk drive cannot be recognized because of the driver problem.
  What you could do to disconnect the USB of ALL devices and open Device Manager.
  Then choose the display command, show hidden devices and uninstall all devices under USB controllers. Reboot the laptop.
  After restarting again the operating system must install USB drivers again and you could test whether the external HARD drive can be connected as well.

  I have goggled a bit and found a few interesting statement abut Cypress AT2LP RC58. It seems that the HARD drive is ok but sometimes the HARD drive cover and the interface connector would be malfunctions and so this problem would happen.

  But these are only suggestions if you want to try for Cypress AT2LP RC58 goggle and see for yourself.

• Windows 8 and USB external hard drives

  I want a new dv7 with Windows 8 and an Iomega Prestige 1 TB external hard drive I use successfully on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. It behaves erratically in Windows 8. Sometimes it is not recognized at all. Sometimes it is, but trying to access it via Explorer, Windows crashes requiring a diet forced down. Other times, you can access it with success and even copy a file to it with Solution Explorer, but if you try to copy multiple files with the same drag and drop, it displays the calculation time to copy file window, but the calculation done so forever, just stays there. Also, when you try an Xcopy in the prompt with mutiple files and / or files, copy the first file he is suspended from the command window. The system has a newly updated BIOS and all installed Windows updates. Ideas?

  Tried moving the Iomega for a USB 3.0 drive (the drive is 3.0 and 2.0 compatible) 2.0 in Windows 8 port and it now works fine. No idea whether the problem with USB 3.0 with Windows 8, HP or Iomega.

• Satellite L300-110 USB external hard drive is no longer detected

  I used my external hard drive via a USB connection for a while normally, I wanted to remove most of his files and only keep my important files. After I restarted my laptop it now is no longer detected

  My external hard drive model is HTS54101 0G9SA00
  Connected via a storage drive HARD Portable USB 2.0 Phillips

  The USB ports are ok, I plugged a USB optical mouse through them and it works, and sometimes the LED on the Phillips turns red with still no detection of my laptop.

  Please advise, I lost my mobile hard disk of 100 gega?

  Sounds like the hard drive has failed.

  The only thing I can think that you can try is to update your Chipset drivers. I don't know if this will fix the problem even if, as you have pointed out that the machine can detect other USB devices already.

  First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

  If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

  However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.
