• Satellite Pro U400 - can I boot from a USB?

  I am wanting to partition the disk and I don't have a blank CD at hand...

  Surprised to discover, there is no option the BIOS to boot from devices USB 2.40.

  Please can someone confirm for me that this is not possible?

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can boot from USB FDD, primary HARD disk, optical device and network (LAN)
  Unfortunately, the USB is not supported ;(

  But if you want to create a new partition on the HARD drive you don't need to boot from a USB n.
  Are you using the Vista on your Satellite Pro U400?

  If so, you can use the Vista Disk Manager to create a new partition.
  To reduce the first partition first and then you can create a new partition using a new space on the HARD drive.

• Can't boot from DVD or CD

  Hi all...  I have a W700, Type: 2758.

  I have my formatted disks and I want to reinstall the o/s.  When I turn on the machine with a disc, the message I get is "Device not found" or "No valid operating system".

  1. my boot order has "ATAPI CD0: model HL - DT - STDVDRAM GT33n-(TS)" as the FIRST device.  This unit has "No valid operating system" written next to it.

  2. I have two drives, that I am trying to boot from.  The first is a Windows 7 boot disk and then the BIOS CD that I got on the Lenovo site.  My results are the same regardless of which disc is in the DVD player.

  3. I swapped DVD drive with a co-worker to ensure that it works correctly.  The DVD player works in fact.

  4. I checked the two disks on my other PC and I have no problem to read.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Never mind... I got a hold of a DVD USB, taaa daaaa, it sees the drive instantly.

  While I am still completely confused on why I can't boot from the built-in DVD, I at least can I install the o/s now.  (Again, I've even changed embedded... DVD)

  Well...

  Have a great day everyone...

• How to get the computer to boot from a USB?

  I use offline windows Defender. Start the computer to the USB you need. How can I get the computer set up to do this?

  my computer is a HP Pavilion e9100z.

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  We will determine if your PC can not even boot from USB devices.  Plug the USB and turn on your PC.  When you get to the HP splash screen, then start typing the escape key to bring up a boot selection menu. If you do not see the USB device then your PC can't boot from a USB device.

  If your PC does support booting from a USB device and then read this MS post article.

  You always have the option to start Windows Defender from a CD or a DVD.

• Re: Boot from external USB HARD drive Toshiba 320 GB (MK3259GSX)

  I have PC (Windows7, SATA HDD, without CD/DVD drive), netbook and Toshiba External USB HDD 320 GB (MK3259GSX). Can I boot from the USB HDD? (to install OS or diagnostic tools like Memtest, MHDD etc..)

  I tried:
  1 format USB HDD, create the FAT32 partition and make active, copy the files, for example, ISO image of Windows 7 (I also tried bootsect/nt60), but when I reboot and choose from the menu of boot USB HDD it stops after "Verifying DMI pool data".
  2 Grub4dos (http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page), but also had nothing after verifying DMI pool Data given.
  3. If you want to install Windows 7, I tried this tool, http://store.microsoft.com/Help/ISO-Tool, but it did not find my USB HDD.

  Sorry for my English.

  Has your computer laptop USB boot option?

  Anyway, is unclear to me that you can use this disk external DRIVE for the installation of the OS?

• Can't boot from USB/dvd drive on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  the broken internal dvd drive, an external USB disk is used. Now I need to reinstall windows on a new hard drive. How can I boot from the external hard drive? (I don't have a floppy drive, but I can't find the right drivers)

  Thank you

  Luke

  Hello

  Don t you need all the drivers for this key USB — because the USB disk is a device integrated on your computer. This means that whenever you connect the diskette drive to your machine, the computer establishes that diskette as a cable internal disk and this is the reason why you won´t need all the drivers.

  It s already installed when you plug it in.

  See you soon

• Can't boot from usb, lack of boot USB for dv7-4173us option?

  I couldn't find an option to boot from USB on my

  HP Pavilion dv7-4173us laptop BIOS.

  How to enable boot from the USB port?

  Thank you.

  Hey hpng,

  I am pleased to hear that the option is now available. When you set up a dual boot with Linux, I have very little information on how to do it. The only thing I would say, is to read the document "frequently asked Questions (FAQ) on Linux". It has a lot of frequently asked questions, but the main reason is, to the bottom of the page you will see an option to where I can find more information about Linux.

  Depending on what version of Linux you want to install, I suggest you post your question on the Linux community.

  I hope this helps!

  My question is: my BIOS can manage a booting from a USB key?

  I can't? t find relevant updates to the BIOS. Any ideas?

  Hello

  It is not possible to boot from USB because the BIOS does not support this feature.
  You can boot from USB FDD, but to do this you will need a boot like Win98 boot floppy disk

  The update of the BIOS will not help you because all BIOS for series A200 don t support it!

• Tecra M2: Can I boot from USB/Firewire-drive external HARD?

  Hi all

  How can I boot from an external USB drive?
  The Bios 1.20, 15/03/2004 does not seem to support this on my Tecra M2.

  I have a Maxtor 300Gig external HARD drive that can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually, I use a PCMCIA card Firewire to connect the HARD drive, which has 3 partitions.

  It would be also possible for a start-up by PCMCIA Firewire?

  Thanks in advance.

• Can't boot from USB or CD/DVD to boot.

  I'm trying to install a new OS from a bootable DVD that I created. However, my T530 leader not from the DVD. I checked the boot order in the BIOS settings and even explicitly tried to force at the start of my DVD - ROM Sina the F12 boot menu. I was able to boot from this DVD on my other computer.

  Any way to diagnose whether my DVD-ROM is defective, or is there maybe some BIOS setting to fix this? I am able to read the disc in Windows, just can not boot from it. The laptop is brand new, just opened it today, so I don't know why something so simple that it would just work.

  You must disable startup secure, then tilt the machine mode Legacy BIOS UEFI.

• Can't boot from USB stick - Acer Aspire E15

  I want to be able to boot from a USB thumb drive/key. There is no option in the Bios Setup to do this.
  I will have to return to the store - the system, but what system Acer can I replace with to boot from a USB?

  The configuration of the Bios is "InsydeH20".

  For a start-up legacy startup options are

  1 USB HDD

  FLOPPY USB DRIVE 2

  3 USB CDROM

  4 ATAPI CD-ROM

  5 HARD DRIVES

  6 start IPV4 network

  7 start IPV6 network

  This order was after I changed to make USB different boots at the beginning of the order in the case where one of them included a reference to the USB key.

  Boot to the UEFI boot options are the same.

  While research on the boot order to this response I tried again with USB connection to turn it on, and it loaded from the key without problem!

  I simply do not understand what I was doing wrong before, but I've obviously screwed up.

  Sorry to waste your time and thank you for your help.

• I want to reinstall Windows XP but I do not have a disk. Where can I download Windows XP and boot from a USB?

  I want to reinstall xp. I have original xp.my laptop has no cd rom device.where I can download xp, so I can boot from a USB?

  original title: install windows xp without CD

  Andrea,

  First of all. You cannot reinstall Windows XP without CD.
  Second, a download of Windows XP isn't illegal, I don't think you will get all the answers here to know where to download a copy of Windows XP.
  Better call the computer manufacturer instead.
  See you soon ~!

I've set USB and DVD as a priority higher from startup in the BIOS. I get the alternative start menu, choose DVD or USB, but it starts just Windows 8.

  I tried to boot from an external device in settings PC - general settings in the charming bar, but it starts off directly with Windows 8 too.  the DVD plays fine films, and if I plug the boot device dvd W8 sees them and their content because I expect too much.

  Any ideas on how to boot from another device.  I would like to take at least a decent backup using Acronis.

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Boot from an additional media under Windows 8, you will ensure that you have either disabled Secure Boot or changed to UEFI in the traditional mode.  The following articles describe how to do this.
