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.

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.
Solved!

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

T400 Boot from SD card

Hi,
I just got a 8 GB SD card and I was wondering if anyone know how to or if its possible at all to install Ubuntu 8.10 in persistence mode to an SD card and have it run off that on a Lenovo T400.
Thanks.

In the user's manual, it is clearlu written that it can be boot from SD card. Anyway, I made it done with USB flash memory. Now, I am using my laptop with new Win XP. Although there was small glitch, it worked.
The program 'WinToFlash' seemed that it did not work, and I found accidently (pure coincident) software 'WinsetupFromUSB' version 0-2-3 in the internet, and followed the instruction. It worked. So, problem is solved anyway. Thank you for your help.

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.

Zynq custom board not booting from SD-Card

Hi all,
I have a custom designed board woth a Zynq XC7Z100 SoC and try to bring it up. The schematics are based on the ZC706 board so the MIO connections on the PS are the same.
Now I'm trying to boot just the simple Hello World example from XSDK (Vivado Version 2014.3). Booting from JTAG and from QSPI Flash is working but booting from SD-Card fails. The FSBL is producing the following output:
Xilinx First Stage Boot Loader
Release 2014.3 Nov 5 2014-17:42:52
Devcfg driver initialized
Silicon Version 3.1
Boot mode is SD
SD: rc= 0
SD: Unable to open file BOOT.BIN: 3
SD_INIT_FAIL
FSBL Status = 0xA009
This Boot Mode Doesn't Support Fallback
In FsblHookFallback function
I've measured all data pins and they are toggling. What I've found out is that the SDIO Clk is somehow strange. When starting the FSBL it is a very slow clock (kHz) and afterwards it's speeding up to 41.6666 MHz. I've already changed the SDIO clock in Vivado from 125 MHz to 50 MHz but nothing changes, when I'm measuring it. Do I miss something out?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Christoph

I believe the clock is behaving properly. The driver should connect at a slow clock at first then increase to the highest clock that the driver thinks the card can support. If you see this clock speed change, the initialization must be getting past the first few SD card messages. You could try to adding printfs in the card driver to see which message failed.
I've had problems switching from 14.7 to 2014.3 FSBL. The later driver dropped support for older SD card and stop on very first message to the card. Maybe try a different card.
In going from dev board to custom board, did you switch from full size SD to micro SD? The micro SD format does not have a WP signal. Maybe no CD signal either. The FSBL driver cares about both.

Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.

Hi
In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

HT4623 can you download pictures from a card reader to iPhone?

Can you download pictures from a card reader to the iPhone?

That would depend upon the card reader, who makes it, and what their suppointing software does. I happen to have an older ZoomIT SD card reader with a 30 pin dock connector. The hardware maker provides an app for iOS that allows me to use the adapter with my iPhone 4 and I can open pictures from the SD card and view them. I believe it even allows me to save teh image to my cameral roll if I want. Since it does have the 30 pin dock connector, I need to use the Apple adapter to plug it into the Lightning port on my iPhone 5, but is still works just fine there too.
I also have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (30 pin version) but it is much more restrictive. It only works with the iPad, and it only copies certain files form teh SD card to the iPad. (The files must be in the "/DCIM" folder on the SD card, the file name must be in the older DOS 8.3 file name format, and I believe it only woirks with JPG, and MOV files. As you can see, the Apple device is built to let me view pictures from my point-n-shoot cmera on the iPad screen, whereas the ZoomIT allows copying of content to/from the SD card and an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
Now for the bad news, I don' tthink the ZoomIT reader is made any longer, and when you can find them, the sellers are usually charging close to $125 for them.

P10-873 boot from SD card?

Hi there
Is this possible? The BIOS has an option to enable/disable the SD slot so presumably the slot can be accessed to some extent at BIOS level. I've tried setting the Removable Drives to the top of the boot order and putting in an SD card with Windows 98 boot files on it, but it ignores this and boots from the hard drive. Is there a way?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
I had the same problems when I tried to boot from a SD card. I tried different settings but it didn't boot!
Then I called a toshiba technican and they told me that booting from SD card is at the moment not possible. Toshba is working on a solution, but we have to give them a little bit more time!

W530 Boot from SD Card

With the coming release of Windows 8.1 I am currently looking for a solution to boot from an SD Card on my W530. From what I can gather, on all ThinkPads the SD card reader is connected via PCI, which is a connection that can't be booted from.
So what I need is an external SD card adapter.
It is possible to boot from an SD card, I've done it before with a Micro SD to USB adapter. Now I own an SDHC card and need to find a USB adapter that I can boot from. Presumably this requires that no drivers are installed upon plugging it in; it must be a plug and play USB device.
I currently own a Kingston FCR-HS3 USB 3.0 Card Reader, however I can't boot from it.
So to simplify, I need a USB adapter which fits an SDHC card which is a plug-and-play device that requires no drivers. Speed and USB specification is irrelevant. Has anyone found a solution to this?

I am considering buying SD card readers in bulk and simply testing all of them.
One of the choices:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2JX0XK4082
due to its description "Works as a USB Disk Drive"
Also
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2AU0SB0281
due to its description "Instantly converts SDHC cards into a USB flash drive"
I have also contacted Kingston's customer support to see if they made anything like their FCR-MRG2s, except larger to fit SDHC cards. I have dim prospects for this, as they are likely to misunderstand or give a copy paste reply.

IMAC won't boot with USB card reader attached

My quite new 24" iMAC won't boot if I have a USB card reader attached:
I get to the white screen with the apple logo, but it gets stuck there and the little spinning gear below the apple logo never appears (I've waited several minutes). (In all my test cases, there is no card in the card reader.)
I've tried two different card readers with the same results ("iDOTconnect" brand and a brand new Apacer unit, both are USB2.0 multi-format card readers).
The 1st one I tried via a USB hub, the second one I tried via a new hub and also directly connected to the mac (both of those hubs work fine).
Anyone have any ideas?
Regards,
Strathglass

Hello strathglass
The same thing can also happen with other connected devices such as external HD's and iPods, the Startup Manager is lost and searching for a boot volume.
1. You may be able to fix it by going to: *System Preference / Startup Disk* and select the *Mac OS X 10.5.5 on Macintosh HD* then *Click the lock to prevent further changes.*
2. Leave those devices that cause boot issues disconnected until the iMac is up and running!
3. Only sleep the iMac, and be sure to disconnect those devices be for shutting down or updates that require a restart!
As a habit, I have always ejected and disconnected all mounted USB devices (flash driver, iPods, cameras, card reader, etc.) from my hub be for sleeping, restarting or shutting down...
