Boot Sequence for Sat Pro M70

Questions :
1. What is the factory default setting for the boot sequence for the Satellite Pro M70 ?
2. What is the procedure for changing the boot sequence during the POST phase of startup ?
3. What is the most "sensible" boot sequence, with & without an external FDD attached ?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Pressing the F2 key during POST takes you into the Phoenix Bios Setup Utility.
On the menu there are 5 pages of setup options and info, including a "Boot" page, which it would appear, allows you to change the Boot Priority (sequence).
Default setting is HDD>CD/DVD>FDD>LAN. Therefore it would seem that there are 2 options for changing the boot priority (sequence), with the Toshiba HWSetup Utility in the ControlPanel, as you indicated, being the other.
I did not check, but one or more of the boot devices appear to have sub-categories, presumably along the lines you have given below for the HDD.
I will check this later.
Pressing F12 during POST takes you to a screen which allows you to select the boot device (i.e. one time boot for the current bootup, presumably)

  • Sat Pro M70-113: Express Card slot - What for?

    Hi,
    can anybody tell me what is the use of express card slot on my sat pro m70-113,like what hardware can i connect to it for expansion..
    Thanks..

    Hi
    This new expansion Express Card slot for notebooks has two sizes: Express Card/34 and Express Card/54, whose widths will be 34 mm (1/8) and 54 mm, respectively. Both are 75 mm long and 5 mm thick. The idea is the same of the PCCard, only that by using serial communication instead the parallel one, it uses less pins (only 26 pins, against 68 pins in the PC Card) and that permits the manufacture of smaller expansion boards.

  • Re: Using Expert Recovery Mode in Product Recovery CD for Satellite Pro M70-220

    I would greatly appreciate advice on the following.
    My Sat Pro M70-220 (PSM75E-00D008G3), laptop has 4 partitions created by Acronis Disk Director Suit v9:
    C: OS-Win XP Pro SP3
    D: Programs
    E: Data& Downloads
    F: Backups
    After booting the laptop into Win XP, I inserted the Toshiba Product Recovery CD into the DVD-RAM drive
    and navigated to BMP folder, R:\G_INST\BMP, where I found the file "menu.bmp" which gives 2 Recovery
    options:
    *1. Recover entire Hard disk*
    Warning . All stored data o your computer will be lost.
    Factory pre-installed software will be installed.
    *2. Expert Recovery Mode Warning:*
    This is for PC experts only.
    Factory pre-installed Software can be installed onto an existing partition.
    My questions are with respect to using the "Expert Recovery Mode" :
    - will I be able to use the "Expert Recovery Mode" of the Recovery CD to reinstall the Win XP Pro (factory pre-installed software) onto my C: partition, whilst not affecting the D, E & F partitions ?
    - will I be able to format the C: partition, using the "Expert Recovery Mode", without formatting the other partitions ?
    - what is the exact "Expert Recovery Mode" procedure ?
    - where can I find further info on the "Expert Recovery Mode" procedure ?
    Thank you

    >will I be able to use the "Expert Recovery Mode" of the Recovery CD to reinstall the Win XP Pro (factory pre-installed software) onto my C: partition, whilst not affecting the D, E & F partitions
    Yes, this should be possible. Using the Expert Recovery Mode you should get the Ghost window in which you could select the partition where the OS should be installed. In such case only this partition would be formatted.
    > will I be able to format the C: partition, using the "Expert Recovery Mode", without formatting the other partitions?
    Yes, theoretically this should be possible.
    > what is the exact "Expert Recovery Mode" procedure ?
    As I mentioned above, this mode allows you to restore the OS on a certain partition and only this partition will be formatted.
    > where can I find further info on the "Expert Recovery Mode" procedure ?
    How about searching here in the forum?

  • Video capture with Sat Pro M70: What ports and leads can I use?

    I want to edit my home movies on my Sat Pro M70 using WXP Pro (win dvd or movie maker). I want to capture the video from my panasonic camcorder which has digital tapes. what ports can I use and what leads do I need? I am desperate to edit my recent wedding video to put onto DVD and post to my mum. The panasonic website has been ignoring me! Any advice anyone ??

    Well, as far as I know this unit has only an S-video out port. In this case you can connect the notebook to the TV and watch the picture from notebook on TV but its not possible to receive any signals from TV or any other device on notebook.
    To receive the signals you need a composite port or an s-video in port.
    However, if the camcorder has a firewire port so you can send the digital files thru the firewire connection. But this should only works with digital files which are saved on the camcorder.

  • How to make boot disk for MacBook Pro with Mavericks pre-installed

    Hi -
    I recently bought a new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display, which came pre-installed with Mavericks (10.9.0).  I want to make a bootable USB disk of the system software, and have successfly used DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) to make the USB boot disks for Lion and Mountain Lion.  In those cases, however, I was running earlier versions of the OSX, and downloaded the new OSX version -- Lion and Mountain Lion -- from the App Store in order to make to make the disk.  In this case, however, Mavericks was pre-installed, and I was unable to download it from the App Store (an alert said that it couldn't be installed on this computer... presumably because it was already installed).  I would apprecite any suggestions as to how I can create the boot disk without the ability to download Mavericks.  Thanks very much for any help anyone can provide.
    Shelly

    Open App Store and locate the full installer download file (5.29 GBs) for 10.9.1. Download to your computer.
    Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
    After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
        2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
    Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
        3. Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
    Make your own Mavericks flash drive installer using the Mavericks tool:
    You can also create a Mavericks flash drive installer via the Terminal. Mavericks has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:
    You will need a freshly partitioned and formatted USB flash drive with at least 8GBs. Leave the name of the flash drive at the system default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy this command line after the prompt in the Terminal's window:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed to the screen so be careful to enter it correctly. Press RETURN, again.
    Wait for the process to complete which will take quite some time.

  • Need latest graphic card drivers for Satellite Pro M70

    I've had this PC for only a few months now and i've been disappointed to have heard that my drivers are WAY out of date. The only drivers i can find are on here and they are only v.8 something (although the game reads this as an older version).
    The problem comes in when i want to play games like Half Life 2 and CSS, the game crashes because these drivers are out of date. Where can i get the LATEST drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon x700 card for the Toshiba Pro M70?

    Hi Stephanus
    First of all you must not be disappointed about that because you must understand few things. Because of notebook construction it is not recommended to force graphic card to run at the limit. Using latest drivers you do exact something like that. More performance means more warmness and I hope yo know very well what happen when notebook is too hot.
    I am not 100% sure but I presume that Toshiba priority is to provide hardware protection. I saw that some other notebook manufacturers offer latest drivers but there is also notice that they are not responsible if something goes wrong.
    One more thing: you have mobile computer and not desktop.

  • Boot Camp for Macbook Pro "Windows 8"

    Hello. Excuse me my ignorance. I have MacBook Pro > http://www.zzounds.com/item--APLMBP17
    And I installed Windows 8.. I can't find Boot Camp for it.. Help me please...

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Windows 8 is only compatible with Mid 2010 15-inch or newer MacBooks Pro, and your computer is older, so there aren't drivers for Boot Camp in Windows 8 for your MacBook. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    You could install Windows 8 because your Mac is compatible, but Apple decided not to give Boot Camp compatibility with Windows 8 to your computer, so it won't work correctly with Windows 8. You can continue using it with Windows 8 or you can install Windows 7 and download the Boot Camp drivers, so it will work correctly

  • SSD Boot Drive for Mac Pro

    Apologies in advance, I’m really not great with this sort ofstuff.
    Basically, what I would like to do is add an SSD to my MacPro and use that as my boot drive.  Ihave a 1TB HDD which is currently doing everything but I’d like to use thispurely to store music, videos etc.
    As well as booting to Lion, I’d also like to use the SSD torun Windows 7 with VMware Fusion – presume this doesn’t cause any problems?
    The plan would be to have the system software andapplications on the SSD and everything else on the HDD.  Only thing I’m not sure of is where the homedirectory should go?
    Does this all sound like a realistic goal?  Also, will this be an relatively straightforward process?  Migration Assistant?
    Thanks.

    So in effect, lets just say your SSD drive fails. As you are currently setup, can you boot from your secondary drive to your backed up OSX, or do you have to have restore that backup image to a new hard drive?
    My whole rational of keeping the home dir separate (disk) from the boot dir is that I can switch among any number of boot drives any time I want to.  For example, as a hypothetical case*, I use 10.6.5, and I want to update to 10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8,  I just do it to my ssd.  Now I can still boot from my 10.6.5 backup, say for the sake of comparison to some weird behavior I see on the update, without a blink of the eye.  I'm still using my same (common) home dir because it is not involved with the update.  If I want to go "back" I can restore the ssd from my 10.6.5 backup.
    Of course I would actually do it the other way and boot and update from the backup leaving the ssd alone (don't want to write to it any more than I have to).  Only if I was satisfied with the new OS on the backup would I then update my ssd.
    The point of all this is keeping the home dir off the boot dir allows you to "flit", "jump", switch, whatever, to different OSs (or backups of the same OS) at will.  Your home dir is none the wiser unless the OS dramatically changes or screws things up (so that's why this technique may or may not work across major OS revisions -- Snow Leopard to Lion for example, but its great with a single OS sequence).
    While everyone always debates the pros and cons of keeping the home dir separate from the boot dir, what always seems to get lost or not mentioned is the benefit of being able to switch among the OSs when they are separate.
    So all of this was a long way of answering your question -- no you don't have to backup to the original boot drive before using it.  Just boot from the backup.  Your home dir couldn't care less.
    * For me going to 10.6.6, .7., .8 is hypothetical since I use 10.6.5 and have no current plans of updating beyond that (can you say "app store"? -- don't want it my machine -- and I won't debate any comments on this -- its my personal decision.  And besides this is off topic.).

  • Creating A New Boot Drive For Mac Pro Desktop

    I have a Mac Pro 1,1 using Lion:    
    I would like to create a new and bigger boot drive but having not done this before I would appreciate any direction that would make this as painless as possible.   I will continue to use Lion but am a little lost when it comes to doing this with the download process of Lion as well as transferring what has been created on the current HD in the MacPro.  I have a new WD Black 2 TB SATA that I would like to use as the new boot drive.  Again, thank you for the help.

    Don't. Use. 2TB for system. Seriously.
    Use that for data.
    Get yourself a $89 Samsung 840 120GB instead along with Icy Dock $15. You will. Love it.
    You don't need a large drive for the system. All you need to do is MOVE all the data and media files and every thing else, just leave the small 4GB /Users/myuseraccount/Library on the boot drive with the OS and apps. Everything else gets off loaded.
    Leave your drive you ahve now as is for backup. Move data and clone the system.

  • ARC path (boot.ini) for SATA on Promise contr. (KT6d)

    Hi!
    I've recently purchased and installed my first SATA disk, connected to my Promise SATA/RAID controller on my K6 delta motherboard. It is a ghosted duplicate of my old system disk, and now I struggle with the boot.ini file, which still addresses my old disk for boot of Windows XP, in stead of my new one.
    The boot.ini files reads:
    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=scsi(2)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
    scsi(2)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="NEW Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
    The first OS line (multi....) is my old disk, which I have kept for backup purposes. The second line is supposed to be my new SATA disk on the first of the two slots on my Promise integrated SATA RAID controller. Problem is, this disk is not found by Windows XP during boot. I have tried the two following configurations for the ARC path:
    scsi(2)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
    scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)
    Both without luck. Anyone got any idea how to modify boot.ini to make it boot of my disk (which is the first and only SATA disk on my Promise controller)? The BIOS seems to indicate that the SCSI controller is marked as "2", thus the "scsi(2)" line, but even with "scsi(0)" it fails.
    PS: If I boot using my old disk, the new SATA disk pops up, so the disk and controller is fine, and there is only one partition on the disk.
    PPS: The actual error message is as follows:
    Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
    Could not read from the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware.
    Please check the Windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.

    Thanks for the tip (and the links) - didn't know the Via controller was better, I'll switch
    But, using the VIA controller, it wil still be detected as a SCSI disk, right? In which case I'll still need to know the "ARC path" (on the format scsi(x)disk(y) etc.) for my boot.ini. I guess I could just try the most likely combinations, but if anyone knows which ARC path to use for the VIA or Promise I'd be much obliged
    I can still use my VIA SATA even though I am still having regular IDE devices on all my EIDE ports, right? (Meaning, there is no conflict where I have to choose either ATA/IDEA or SATA for my VIA controller, thus rendering one of my EIDE disks unconnected if I enable the SATA?)

  • USB Boot support for K7N420 Pro???

    Would it be possible for the BIOS release to include USB Boot support?
    This way you could use a lot of bootable USB peripherals (USB Flash DIsk for example) and you wouldn't need your FDD anymore.
    Can this be done?
    Best regards,

    newer boards have begun to incorporate this bios feature.

  • Keyboard information needed for Sat Pro 6100

    Hi, i have a Satellite Pro 6100 model number PS610E-03SKV-EN
    I have damaged my keyboard and need to replace it and i was wondering if anybody knew what is the part number that i need for my laptop to replace my keyboard.
    Thank you

    Thank you for the advice about the German Keyboard, I shall know to definitely avoid buying one in the future. I was interested in this item because it was a white keyboard in my part number and i would have liked a white or different colour keyboard. I didn't win the auction anyway so i am not going to be disappointed there.
    My keyboard from America has arrived and i am disappointed by it slightly. I do wish that i never bought it now. Even though i got it very cheap the delivery cost me $40 dollars because i had to ship to a friend and then she shipped it out to me. What i am dissappointed by is the fact that this keyboard does not even have sign on it and neither does it have a euro sign either. I am not going to install it myself but i am also going to be on the look out for a UK keyboard now because i am not so happy with this one. I find it very odd that a symbol was not on this keyboard.
    I have removed keys number 3 and 4 from my current keyboard and placed them on my new one but this has meant that things are going to be messed up and this means that i will be without a hash key now as well so i do think that a UK keyboard would be better for me.
    There were other things different as well.The space bar is longer on this keyboard part that i bought and it only has three keys beside the space bar on my right hand side and it has not got a Alt Gr key but two Alt keys. I am thinking that there may have been something not quite right with the keyboard.
    The parts number of this item that i purchased is -PS610U-03SR17 as listed on the auction and underneath the keyboard is part number-
    UE2027P22
    I hope that this will be even compatible with my laptop and be able to handle the spec that my laptop has such as the hotkeys etc if i do decide to use it.
    The one that i bought does look very similar to this one.
