• Tecra A10 - 1 H 1: I can boot from extrnal drive is connected to ESATA

  Hello
  I need to buy a new laptop. What I'm looking for is a laptop with an ESATA connector. And it must be possible to boot from an external drive connected to the ESATA connector.

  I found the Tecra A10 - 1 H 1. The specification seems perfectly for me. But I cannont find information, it is possible to boot from a drive connected to the ESATA connector. Does anyone know if this is possible?

  Concerning
  Norbert Ruessmann

  Hello

  A friend told Tecra A10 and he said that he of a notebook of big business, it seems, he is very satisfied with this laptop. :)

  I asked him about the startup eSATA option and he told me that it of not possible to start from eSATA, but you can boot from a USB storage device. I put t know why you want to start from eSATA, but if you want to boot from your external HARD drive you can connect via the USB port for example. It should work.

  Furthermore, system dual-boot (for example, XP and Vista) is also possible and you n t need a external HARD drive or second for that.

• Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

  I have a laptop A200.

  I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

  Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

  There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

  In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
  Is what exactly?

  Hello

  I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I can't find an option to boot from a device USB like a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if the L40-139 can boot from USB and is thus the configuration of the BIOS for this.

  If she can not someone knows if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?

  I must admit that, although I love the L40, I am disappointed how to limit the BIOS is.

  Thank you

• Re: Satellite C50D - A - 13 G - boot from HARD disk, you can't install Win on new SSD

  I recently bought an SSD to improve performance a little, I of course want to install Windows on this.

  The problem is that the laptop recognizes that the SSD is here, it tries only to start from what he can of course because it is empty.

  Announces 'Check media [fail]' as well as ' no. Bootable Devices Found '.

  I went into the start menu and tried booting from CD and USB, none of these options work, and again, the system attempts to boot from the Virgin SSD.

  I've set both the USB and the DVD drive as the first boot device. Yet once, none of them work and you guessed it, the system attempts to boot from the empty unit.

  What Miss me? There must be a way to get the system to boot something other than the Virgin SSD.

  Out of curiosity, but what version of Windows you trying to install?

  Check it please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

• Satellite Pro L850 - 1 L 4 - cannot boot from Win 8 Upgrade disc

  Bought there is a little less than 2 years. With the upgrade of Windows 8.0 DVD.
  Let me now turn to Win 8 (then Win 8.1).

  No matter what I try (the BIOS changes) peut t get the DVD of start-up. Under the boot of CSM (default for the laptop), it returns an error of independent disk of the system.

  I tried the DVD to other readers of PC which also results in the same error message.
  Other discs for example repair Windows & Tosh recovery disks start OK.

  So I think that the disc must be faulty.

  My question is if someone else has had this problem or even successfully upgraded using the provided Toshiba DVD?. Get your hands on Toshiba get replacement DVD seems an impossible task especially 2 years later.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  First of all, please go to BIOS and set it to settings (default load) by default.

  Then, you can disable secure startup to boot from external media such as disk or USB key flash memory.

  Here is a very interesting thread which brings a solution to the problem of similar startup using the image to win 8.

• My iMac can boot from an external drive?

  Hello

  I have an iMac 21.5 "Mid 2010 which starts to show its age with slowness. However, I plan to upgrade the Basic 4 GB of Ram either 8 GB or 16 GB of Ram, depending on price... and my main question.  I know that the Mac came initially with a 500 GB hard drive and I would also like to upgrade to an SSD because they make a world of difference from what I've heard, but I don't have the level of skill tech to do the steps together 20-30. I wonder, as I have a 1 TB USB SSD externally, if I could install a new version of Mac OS X on the SSD USB and then set it as my boot drive and just keep still plugged. Would this work or startup disk must be internal rather than external via USB?

  Your iMac can be set to boot from an external drive. Just install OS X on the SSD and SSD drive as your boot disk in System-> startup disk Preferences.

• I can boot from micosd on 2 8 black?

  Hello

  I want to spend my recovery partition to a usb or microsd cable in order to free up space on my 2 8 black. I can do on my 8 GB microsd? I'll be able to boot from it in the future, or should it be on a USB?

  I have not tried it myself, but I'm confident, you can:

  1. Copy or move the recovery on microSD 8 GB partition.
  2. Start from a microSD card.

  Some manufacturers bundle same recovery exclusively on the microSD card for not not valuable internal storage of waste on this device.

  To check the real start menu options:

  1. Stop your Miix2.
  2. Press flight + / power to access the start menu.

  Alternatively, you can go a little further and MEM full backup storage (set partition layout, uefi, OS, data, recovery, all) using Macrium Reflect utility bootable. So it's a PE Win81 derivate touchscreen and mem drive are supported out of box. Easy. You should be > = 20 GB flashdrive or microSD to store the complete image.

• Pavilion p6 2408eb Desktop PC: cannot access the bios to boot from the disk

  Hello

  I have virus and spyware on my PC. I want to reinstall my drive c with windows 7 instead of 8.1 or at least perform a system recovery, but I can't boot from the drive.

  The only items on google I can find state I must disable secure boot and then enter the bios to set the boot order so it starts on the first disc.

  The problem is that my monitor is idle (power light flashes) when I try to enter the BIOS. I tried to type esc/f11/f1 or press del to enter bios but my monitor then is idle and never enters the BIOS or go to the windows start screen. If it recognizes clearly that I typed bios key because he won't go to the windows startup screen after that pressing said key.

  I also tried recovery windows and tool HP system recovery but at a certain point, it asks me to restart the pc and here again he is stuck at the idle monitor... I never see the start-up of the screen or the other, one that says "press x to enter the bios. My computer will always directly to the windows splash screen once I started.

  Any idea what I might try next?

  Hello

  Consult this publication article before attempting the downgrade of your PC to Windows 7. I have no recommemd making a downgrade on Windows 8 is superior to Windows 7.

  The default settings for the BIOS of your PC 8 version are: inherited and secure boot disabled.

  Erasing the CMOS memory will bring back the default values and then you should be able to start the Windows 7 installation media.

  This similar model PC will have Windows 7 drivers.

  If you have not created the external HP recovery media then you must order at HP if you decide to go back to Windows 8.
