Boot a computer from sd card in a wp8

How to boot a bios computer from the sd card (mount as usb mass stor dev) installed in a windows phone 8.1 device?

You can't. WP8 devices boot via UEFI and run on the ARM architecture. You cannot run alternate operating systems.

  • Can I boot my computer from an external hard drive

    I have already used the (internal) hard drive to boot my computer. If it is bootable while outside the computer, that is only the (internal) hard drive being outside the computer running while the computer is on then I will buy an external herd drive enclosure so that it can do so.
    I want to boot my computer using one of my internal hard drives using an external hard drive enclosure so that I do not wear out the the hard drive ports
    I am running a Late 2008 MacBook unibody with Mac OS X (10.6.8). The hard drive I plan to boot from has been used internally and is an ssd hard drive, I formated it before I started using it.

    ... that part is for using an internal hard drive and as I stated that is the one I am trying to avoid wearing by daily swapping. Not only is it an inconvenience to swap them, but it is not an activity that is usually expected to be performed by most users, so likely this part is not meant to be used for that and that would make it not built for multiple hard drives swaps making it prematurely wear out.
    That is exactly correct. We do not do that.
    It is not necessary to get inside your computer to connect a hard drive. You can connect a second (or third, or even more) drive externally. And if the drive is correctly formatted, you can boot from it. An external hard drive enclosure costs less than < $10. You install the drive in the enclosure, and you can connect it externally to a usb port on the computer.
    A typical enclosure for a SATA laptop drive looks like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/SATA-Hard-Drive-Case-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08
    In summary then, keep one drive inside the computer. Always. Use any other drives you need as externals. If you have many external usb devices, plug them into a powered hub. This way nothing needs to be regularly connected and disconnected.

  • Can't boot Portege M200 from SD-card

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased a used Portege M200 and I'm having trouble installing an operating system.
    The situation: I got the notebook with a basic trial version of win XP home which I couldn't use. It wouldn't boot from the external usb dvd drive which I bought so I installed a linux system by switching hd with a friend's laptop and installing it via this machine (this method doesn't work with windows though).
    After reading many articles by people who encountered the same problem I decided to go and try to boot from an sd card, which would offer various possibilities to install windows.
    I tried many things but yet couldnt boot from sd.
    I use a 2GB Panasonic class4 SD card.
    - The toshiba sd-utilities (afaik) only work on toshiba windows machines, so they're no use to me
    - People said that placing an image of a boot floppy on the SD, naming it $tosfd000.vfd or $tosfd00.vfd (tried both) would do the trick, but no.
    - When switching the boot order to FDD->HDD->... or using the third option in the toshiba boot screen the green led next to the card reader will flash once, but afterwards directly boot the linux from HDD.
    Specifications: Toshiba Portege M200, 2ghz, the bios is ACPI v.3.01 (which is a little confusing since the most recent version i found for the portege is 1.8)
    could it be that someone messed up the bios by installig a version that is not compatible with my laptop?
    any help much appreciated!

    I wouldn't worry about it saying acpi 3.01 - thats likely just the version of acpi the bios supports.
    I have also had trouble booting off sd cards via the $TOSFD00.VFD method. My personal experience is that it does work but only seems to for certain images. At least one of the available m200 vfd images doesn't work for me (tho can't remember which one). You could try creating your own or alternatively look into booting via pxe. One way is to boot via pxe and use the original toshiba windows xp ghost install images from the included cd (if you have it.) Tutorials are easy to find - think I followed these instructions: http://home.allegiance.tv/~joem298/

  • [Forum FAQ] Error 0xc0000428 when booting Windows 8 from Windows 7 BCD

    Scenario
    To better analyze this issue, I introduce my test environment firstly.
    I have installed Windows 7 and Windows 8 in separate disks (Figure 1)
    Disk1 (only one partition, C drive): storing BCD
    Disk2 (only one partition, D drive): storing Win 7 system files
    Disk3 (only one partition, E drive): storing Win 8 system files
    Figure 1.
    Then I performed the steps below to boot Windows 8:
    Step 1: Boot the computer from Operation System installation media, then I formatted Disk1 to NTFS and activated it via Diskpart Command-Line Utility. You can use the commands
    below in order to achieve that (Figure 2):
    List volume
    Select volume x
    Format fs=ntfs quick
    Active  
    Figure 2.
    Step 2: I copied the boot files from Windows 7 disk via BCDboot command below:
    Bcdboot d:\windows /s c:                               
    Step 3: I edited the BCD file to add an entry for Windows 8 using the command below:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /create /application osloader
    Steps 4: Since the command above will create a GUID of a new boot object for Windows 8, we can use the following command to represent the GUID:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} device partition=E:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} osdevice partition=E:
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} description “win8”
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} path \windows\system32\winload.exe
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /set {GUID} systemroot \windows
    Bcdedit /store c:\boot\bcd /displayorder {GUID} /addlast
    Steps 5: I checked the BCD files by running bcdedit command. (Figure 3)
    Figure 3.
    Symptom
    When I rebooted the computer and selected Windows 8 Operating System to boot, then I encountered the following error message (Figure 4):
    File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
    Status: 0xc0000428
    Info: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file
    Figure 4.
    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    Solution
    According to my scenario, I just need to replace the bootmgr file with the bootmgr file residing in the root directory of Windows 8 Operating System.
    If you want to replace it via the command prompt, it is necessary to un-hide the hidden file in the root directory of C and E drive before coping the file. You can use the
    commands below to do that:
    attrib c:\bootmgr -h -s
    attrib e:\bootmgr -h -s
    Copy e:\bootmgr c:\bootmgr /y

    The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
    This is on a BIOS system

    This is on a UEFI system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
    The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu.  By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot.  Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

  • Boot / install os from another machine rather than cd drive?

    Hi,
    My powerbook's CD/DVD drive has stopped working. I have an external CD/DVD reader/writer so I don't want to replace the broken internal CD/DVD module. But what happens when I need to install a new OS or I get drive problems and need to boot from another system?
    Is it possible to use another computer instead of buying a new CD/DVD drive and somehow be able to do the same sort of thing that you can do when you boot up from a CD?
    TIA, John.

    Some external CD/DVD reader/writer are capable of booting the computer from an OS X install disc. Although there is alternative method for doing so, you need to be able to boot from your current OS X install disc in order to run Disk First Aid repair on the hard drive.
    If your external CD/DVD reader/writer does not support booting your Mac from an OS X install disc and your Mac has Firewire ports and supports Firewire Target Disk mode, you can connnect another Mac with a Firewire port that includes a working CD/DVD module and also supports Firewire Target Disk mode and install a new OS on your Mac from this Mac.

  • Is it possible to boot from the card reader?

    With some linux versions out there, you can use liveCD to create a USB linux boot drive to 'dual' boot into linux without touching the internal harddrive.
    The cardreader would be perfect for this as I have some 4 and 8 Gb SC cards, but using F12 at startup, there is never an option to use the card reader device to boot. Looked in the BIOS, but could not see an option to enable this.
    Does anyone know of a way around this?
    Thanks.
    Waste.

    No one responded to your post, strange. When I want to test , lets say, a Compact Flash that has WIndows 98 bootup files on it, and a usb config.sys driver, as the CF slot is from a 7 in 1 FDD and card reader, and I first disable any hard drive in my computer from boot order, etc, so that the bios will be forced to simply search. If there is the possibility of your system to boot up here, it will find the OS and use it. It will tell you if it can or not at this point. Every bios is different in what it will or will not use in the boot order or allow for a bootup device. And I have also read about same thing as you read in re to Live CD. Sorry I have not learned that method as yet. I could never get anything but older OS to boot up off USB thumbdrives, and the like, and hacking the new OS usb load up process is not someting I care to master. If you find a way to do what you desire, please let others know how it went.

  • R100 Boot from PC-CARD?

    Hi,
    I own a SanDisk SDP3B 1.2GB (Industrial Grade) ATA PC-CARD which I'm trying to make bootable in order to run another O/S on. I'm also considering putting a recovery image on it with the help of Acronis TrueImage, so I just can boot from the card to restore my computer.
    This isn't working well and I have not been successful in getting this to work. I'm wondering if anyone else have tried to boot off a pc-card with their R100's?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi
    In my opinion there is no enough capacity for whole image on this card. I have no experience but try to check all BIOS settings. Check if there is a option called Boot from other devices.

  • How to upload photos from memory card to computer on new Officejet 8500A Plus?

    I recently replaced an older HP psc 2410 photosmart printer with a new Officejet Pro 8500A Plus printer.  The installation went fine without error messages, and it prints, scans and copies just fine.  When I insert a memory card into the slot, the printer itself recognizes the files and displays them on the LCD screen and offers to print them.  BUT ... what I want to do is upload the files to my PC (running Windows XP), and I can't figure out how to do it!  There is no HP program that pops up and offers to transfer the photos like with my old printer.   I was also expecting to see the card slots shown as a removeable drive like I did with my old printer, but I don't see them.  Also, my Photoshop Elements program doesn't recognize the card slots either.
    Then it dawned on me that my computer doesn't "see" the card slots because it's not connected directly to the printer!  I set this up as a wireless printer and I am totally new to this, so pardon if this is a dumb question... but is there no way to transfer files from the card slot to the PC in a wireless setup??  I'm totally confused...
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    If your printer is connected thru network or wireless network, you have to access it thru the IP address.
    Find out the IP address of the printer. You can do this by clicking on the network icon on the front panel of your printer.
    Open Windows explorer and type \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the ip address of the printer.
    You'll see the memory card slot there.
    You can do a "map network drive" to it if you want your printer card slot to be listed there permanently.

    my computer keyboard has a bad "M" key so I cannot login into my computer from boot     is there a way to bypass the login to reset my macbook pro

    Late reply, but if anyone is experiencing the same problem, I've found a solution. For whatever reason, some macbooks don't recognize usb flash drives during the boot-up phase, even though the usb ports themselves are powered (I tested this with a multimeter). The solution then, was to use an external USB hard drive that has its own power supply to install Snow Leopard. I don't know why, but it's the only way I got my macbook (Macbook 2,1/A1181) to recognize the install drive. Every was smooth sailing from there!

  • Will bios boot from SDHC cards?

    I'm trying to put an Arch Linux install on a 32GB SDHC card. I'm able to install the required files, but for whatever reason I can't get the SDHC card to show up in the boot menu, and UEFI doesn't seem to work. Of course, I haven't had any luck with UEFI booting on the W530 for some reason. I can get UEFI to work fine on my desktop, but no luck on the W530 from regular hard drives or my SDHC card.
    Will the W530 recognize and boot from SDHC cards that have GRUB installed on them? So far I've had no luck with that. The card never shows up in the boot menu. I can't even get it to boot installer images. Booting from USB works just fine.

    The SDHC reader on thinkpads is attached to the PCI Bus. Makes for faster Read write, but kills booting from it.

  • How to boot from SD-card on Satellite Pro S300?

    My windows 7 32bit based S300 has a build-in SD card reader. The Toshiba utility for making the SD card bootable comes with an error message stating Fault: 00-61-FF02-26.
    Is does not see or recognize the card.
    In the BIOS version 3.00 WIN there is also no possilility for booting from SD card.
    The SD card can be formatted and you can read and write to the card.
    Why is this not possible?

    As far as I know the BIOS of the Satellite Pro S300 supports the following bootable devices:
    - USB FDD,
    - Primary HDD,
    - ODD (or USB ODD),
    - Network(LAN),
    - SD-CARD,
    - USB Memory, supported at the same time
    So BIOS provides the booting from SD card.
    You should try following way:
    Insert the SD card in the SD card slot and then power up the notebook.
    Then press F12 in order to get the boot menu. Now the SD card should appear in the menu

  • Transferin​g pictures from memory card to computer

    I have a new HP Photosmart 7529e all in one. I put my memory card in the slot but the printer screen does not show my computer as a destination.  I'm using Windows 7.  Nothing at the computer end acknowlages that the card is in the printer slot. How do I transfer pictures from the card to the computer?

    Thank you for clarifying Stainless909,
    In order to access the network card through the wireless network, you will need to map a networf folder to access the printer.
    Follow these steps to map a network path:
    From the printer front anel go to Setup, then open the Wireless menu.
    Select Display Network Configuration , then go to Display Network Summary  and write a not of the printer IP address.
    Open the Computer window by choosing Start → Computer.
    Click the Map Network Drive button on the toolbar to open the Map Network Drive dialog box.
    Type the printer's IP address with 2 trailing back slashes in front (e.g. \\10.0.0.1), then click on Browse and select the Memory Card folder.
    Click OK to confirm, ensure that Reconnect at Logon is checked and click on Finish.
    From now on you will have a drive to access the memory card ready under Computer.

  • I cannot transfer my photos from sd card to computer

    i have numerous photos and videos on my sd card i can view them all on the phone but when i try to transfer them to the computer all i get is a orange flower thumbnail or a blue box but no photos or videos.
    i have tried usb connected from phone to computer
    removing sd card and placing into a sd card reader and then putting in computer.
    transferring via moto,
    the cloud
    windows live photo gallery
    the card seems to work great in the phone i just cant get any of the pictures or videos to download to the computer.
    it does not give me any error messages just flowers or blue boxes where there should be a photo.
    i looked through all the discussions but i couldnt find an answer.
    thanks!!!

    Have you clicked on one of the "flower" icons?  That is Windows generic icon for a photo/picture.  They may be transferring and you do not realize it.  What is the file size of one of the "flower" files on your PC and phone?
    Are you sure the photos and videos are on your SD card and not in the internal memory of your phone.  Since you did not state which phone or OS version I don't know whether you're mounting your phone on your PC as a USB drive, MTP, or PTP.  In any case connect the phone to your PC and look in both the internal memory and external SD card for the DCIM folder and see if your pictures are in there.  Do the same for a Video folder.  Drag them to your PC if found.
    Another thought is your photos and videos may be stored in a cloud (Google+, Dropbox, etc.) and may not be on your phone, only thumbnails.
