Usb boot bios

You may need to enable USB boot function in the BIOS or change the boot order. In some cases the USB boot function has to be forced from boot priority in the BIOS.

Or goto the boot menu when you first turn the PC on there should be an option to use USB Boot assuming the option is enabled in the BIOS already.

Boot hp pavillon zd8000 with usb is possible.simply plug the USB flash drive with iso and reboot, then press F10 navigeyt Boot Order Mark hard drive, hit enter, Highlight your usb and press F6 so usb was on top of the press F10

Some laptops cannot boot up from a USB port. If the BIOS does not have the USB as a boot device then a BIOS upgrade may give you this capability. You need to check the ASUS WEB site to see if the BIOS upgrade will support an USB boot up device.

Here are some of the research i found out about the Toshiba A4-S211 notebook.


The good: Solid construction; good speakers; discrete graphics card; roomy keyboard; wide-screen display.


The bad: Merely average performance; a bit short on battery life; screen does not display text well.


The bottom line: The well-equipped thin-and-light Toshiba Tecra A4 is not a super performer, but it offers a great feature set at a reasonable price.

Hi

Thank you for your query

Please try the following

1) Switch on PC
2) Press F12, del or the ESC key to enter setup
3) Go to advanced options and then choose boot options
4) In boot options choose USB peripheral to be set as first boot device
5) Save and exit from the BIOS screen

As the PC restarts make sure the USB flash drive is plugged into the PC

I hope this has been useful

Hi,

I'm sorry but the answer is no.

You only have floppy, hard drive and cd-rom options. With some Dell models the USB is seen as a secondary hard drive from within the BIOS so maybe (if your bios supports it) you can change boot order there.

Usually thats not the case so you mainly have to boot from the CD/DVD to install or run a DOS or linux command.


Regards.

That is common with Toshiba. Check to see if your fans are running. Also, there may be a lot of dust, hair, etc inside the laptop causing it to heat up. I recommend buying a laptop cooler. I got mine for $10 and I never have over heating problems anymore. Hope that helps:)

You may not see option for USB drive unless you have a USB drive connected when you go into the BIOS.

Otherwise, you will need to attach a floppy drive, and create a boot floppy that then loads drivers and such for the hardware, as well as the interface, and eventually, the drive itself.

Should be a copy on the laptop? One download as a rule?

If not online to Toshiba

either should work.... however you may need to press a key when propmted to boot from CD

if this does not happen you may need to check your boot settings in BIOS (setup) press F1/F2/F11/del whatever the propmt tells you to press to enter setup when you first boot
