W510: problem booting from USB keys

I tried to start a W510 of various Linux USB key.

The system does not detect the USB and the boot proceeds to a point, but he fails when he tries to find the media - for example, in the case of the rescue system (v1.6.1) cd, it is looking fo the sysrec.dat file that is located on the USB.

It seems that the USB device is not visible to the system booted.

I was able to boot from essentially the same software on a CD.

I installed the latest BIOS 1.32 without a change in behavior.

Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong?

Jon.

Using USB 2.0 ports, one on the back or one combo USB eSATA connector?

    Hello

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101 and want to improve performance by changing the HDD with a SSD and install windows Pro 8.1.

    However, I am unable to boot from USB, it always mention:
    + Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. +

    I already disabled secure, used 5 + usb startup different sticks (work fine on other laptops).

    Can you please tell me what the approach is to change the HARD drive and then boot from a USB bootable (UEFI).

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Laptop Satellite NB10T-A-101 was equipped with an Intel CPU 2810 n which is part of the new Intel Bay Trail-M platform.

    This new technology Intel Bay Trail allows installation of UEFI capable systems:
    Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    Just a few questions:
    Have you already changed the HARD drive to SSD drive?
    If so, the new SSD is recognized in the BIOS?
    Have you tried to boot from the USB flash memory stick 8.1 Win until you changed your SSD drive?

  • Desktop HP ENVY 700: problems with the boot from usb in the bios

    Hi I'm trying to boot from usb on a desktop HP ENVY 700. I don't know the serial number now.

    I followed the instructions and have produced a bootable USB and I checked this on a work dell computer where there is an option for me to boot from my USB if I so wish, but on my HP ENVY any options choose it does not appear with my USB in question and when I try to change the boot sequence making sure the usb/floppy and drive hard usb is above the rest of the sequencers starting it always starts just to the top as usual to my windows boot 10. I've disabled secure boot and used the boot of the legacy and it still does not work.

    I went through all the options I can that seem to be logic and it just does not work. I don't understand and I have to start using a usb key that I use the operating system can be very dangerous in a real environment, so it can not be downloaded to the hard drive.

    I need immediate help, this becomes quite frustrating now that it should be simple to do, but HP is not the way to simplisitic to do.

    Please if someone could point me in the right direction I would be so appreciative ideally if I could have a ride on the way to do

    I need this to work because I can't afford to buy new systems and its for my studies so its imperative

    Your PC has a motherboard of Memphis and happens to have a UEFI BIOS and the hard drive of the GPT format.

    You can check the type of hard disk online order volume by using the DiskPart utility.

    Create a flashdrive bootable UEFI with RUFUS.

    https://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

    Plug it into an available usb port before you press the power button. Near the powr button and immediately start to tap the F9 key to enter the boot from the sources menu. Select the Flash drive under the UEFI Boot sources. Let the boot process. If you have created the key correctly, it should start.

  • Portege R500-12 s - problem of recovery (Boot from USB)

    Hello

    I tried several days reinstall this laptop (Toshiba PORTÉGÉ R500-12 s). I reinstall drive, but it has no CD-ROM included, so I'm fighting with booting from the USB port, with my external hard drive. Those that the BIOS loads even boot from USB? Because there is no alternative USB inside the boot priority. I noticed that I can choose from, what I think is alternative of different startup in start up, when I press the F12 key. When I press the F12 key and choose USB, I just pup up to a similar cmd command line.

    Reinstall is the only option because my laptop is super slow, and I have no restore file (CD) on my laptop

    Ultimately is it possible to reinstall windows via USB boot, or do I have to buy an external CD-ROM drive? Which is the last thing I want to do. Advice or assistance on how I'm going to do this?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    I put t know if this is possible, but if you can visit Toshiba service in your city, ask them for help. They have all the external devices and also external optical drive.
    Buy a coffee and ask if they can install just image recovery using your recovery DVDs. I m that they will help you with this.

    By the way: you can not install OS using the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. Laptop can't see it.
    What you need is the optical disk drive.
    Also, try to borrow a somewhere.

  • EliteBook 1040 2: Boot From USB

    I looked at some other posts about it, but they were not helpful and tried a hat with the support of HP, but it was pretty useless. Without knowing it, I created a problem on my new laptop using EaseUS Partition Master to create a new partition which converted the drive in Dynamic.I only mention this as it may be relevant to the current problem.

    Now I can not create a recovery USB and can't the disk image. I made a backup of Windows with the backup system. Currently I am trying to boot from a USB key that contains the Hirens Boot environment. I tried this UB in my Dell and who will start in the environment of Hiren. Anyway, I went into the BIOS, inheritance and set the boot order to boot from USB first, but the computer will not.

  • 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
    Mark

    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

  • 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.

  • Elitbook revolution 810 G2: unable to boot from USB Elitbook turn 810 G2

    Hello

    Initially, I bought 810 rotate with 8.1 Pro window.

    I've recently upgraded to 64-bit Pro 10 Windows.

    The problem is that I can not boot from USB. Computer recognizes the USB drive but when I click F9 and enter in bootmode... He acknowledges as "drive hard usb ' but when I select it... it has no effect and does not start.

    Could someone help me solve the problem? I need to be able to boot from USB drive...

    Thank you

    Windows 10 64-bit with UEFI can only boot from a GPT partition. It may be that your boot USB drive is partitioned as MBR [Master Boot Record] and should be partitioned GPT [Table of Partition GUID] for UEFI.

  • Need to boot from USB device with my Portege 7020ct

    Hello!

    I need help!

    situation: me and my girlfriend go on a long trip on Tuesday. We have to work, so we bought a second hand portege 7020ct.
    However, there is no CD or diskette drive. Win98 is installed but no drivers for the modem. infrared can locate other computers, but is not able to connect.
    so the rare thing I have is a usb connector.

    I want to install win2000 or at least put some data on the hard drive.

    So I need to use my external cd drive or usb key. the problem is, the system (usb port) find the external hard drive and the USB, but I need to install drivers to prepare! But how? --> no internet, no floppy drive, no internal cd, without infra-red...

    What can I do?

    I tried to get into the bios to see if it is possible to boot from the usb slot, maybe get the external drive runnin and then install win2000.
    but I can´t know how to get into the bios! .. .but I m don't know if it will work.

    How do I enter the bios?
    Anyone have any idea what I can do? How can I get drivers in the system?
    How can I get the disc runnin external or USB?

    Please, I beg you! I need help very quick, cause tomorrow is my last day...

    Thanks to everyone in advance
    Deko

    Hi Deko,

    The key in the power up takes you to the BIOS settings.

    Installing the drivers could be difficult. I have a 7010CT and there is no option to boot from USB (only floppy - HDD - CD - lan). I don't think that Windows 98 supports USB sticks without additional drivers. I upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 by using a PCMCIA cdrom external and from the installer of Windows 98. Maybe you could try to use a network card PCMCIA to try to find a disk for the Portege.

  • Unable to boot from USB or ODD after that windows 8.1 update on P850 - 31L

    Hello

    I just updated a P850 - 31L for windows windows 8.1 8 by the windows store.

    Before the update, I was able to boot from a USB key by pressing F12 during the boot upward.

    After the update I was more able to boot from the USB drive. Select the USB key by changing the boot order in the setup of the BIOS via F2 or pressing F12 is no longer works.

    Booting from ODD also is no longer possible.

    The version of the BIOS is 6.70 and does not secure boot must be disabled. However the DVD and the USB I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10, who worked before the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.

    Then, this seems to be a bug in the BIOS Toshiba? Or a windows 8.1 update the BIOS or the boot EFI in a way partition replace the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, does not seem to be much information.

    Any ideas or help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Michael

    Update: I just tried to boot from the DVD of windows recovery 8 Toshiba and this does more or the other.

    Post edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

    OK I fixed that.

    First of all, it is to note that it is possible to turn off secure in the 6.70 BIOS startup.
    However this option is only available when the password is not defined in the Security menu.

    After activation or deactivation of the password a reboot is necessary to make the secure boot toggle option is available or not.

    It's good that I guess I assume that it can prevent secure boot are disabled when the machine is running. However this does not seem to have been associated with this problem.

    I selected the option "reset to factory defaults" in the output menu.
    The machine is then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.

    Perhaps upgrading windows 8.1 corrupt invisible somehow the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage coincidence that the BIOS itself corrupted during the installation. Anyway this factory reset fixed.

  • Boot from USB on Satellite Pro A100

    Hi, I own a satellite pro A100 computer laptop. I tested a live distribution of linux which is bootable from a usb key. When I set the bios to boot from removable devices with my inserted bootable usb key does not start it and comes back to my installation disk hard windows. Is this 1 / a problem with my key/OS or 2 / satellite pro does not boot from USB as a removable device or 3 / require special strikes as for the CDROM?

  • Satellite L300-1AS - error PXE - boot error - will not boot from USB

    Startup error - error PXE-L300 1AS - will not boot from USB

    I recently bought a new HD to replace the original that my laptop takes an hour to load.

    I put the new drive hard at in the BIOS setting, I chose to boot from USB... USB is recognized as it appears on the screen of the BIOS. I disabled the LAN option as it gives me PXE error... I think that the USB files are not read. as I handed the old HD and attached to boot from USB but it just goes to the start screen.

    I thought that perhaps I bought the wrong HD, but a new appeared on the BIOS setting... I'm a bit confused and would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction...

    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    New HARD drive has nothing to do with it. Problem must be your USB key.
    In your ad you didn t wrote what is on it, and we don t know if USB can operate as boot device or not.

    I put t know what OS you want to install right now but original recovery DVDs or use Microsoft installation disc and install Win7 32 bit. I ve installed on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

  • EliteBook 840: unable to boot from usb flash

    Hello:

    I'm tempted to boot from USB drive to install a new version of Windows 7. When I press F9, I have only two startup options:

    -Computer portable hard drive

    -Computer laptop Ethernet

    The USB boot option do not appear.

    My BIOS Version is: 01.04 worm. M71 (24/02/2015)

    Note: I tested my USB key installation in the other laptop and it works very well.

    Thank you for your support.

    cherrera51 wrote:

    Yes, I know Rufus. How I said, I tried my USB in another laptop (a HP ENVY m4 laptop) and work very well. The difference is that the HP ENVY gave me the option to boot from USB and the EliteBook does not.

    I realized that, since the post, you did.

    I suggested RUFUS and EFI create setup of windows due to the startup problem, that you have with the Elitebook 840.

    It may be just what you need for this particular laptop.

    If you want this to work, then you must be flexible and willing to solve the problems.
