Booting the M60-104 notebook from USB drive - possible or not?

Hi,
i am using the windows XP on my hard drive(IDE ), i want to boot my pc using external usb hard drive. whenever i try to install the OS on /usb drive the first boot after copy of OS files itself fails saying, boot_device_unmountaable_fatal_error...something like this..i tried every trick i know to make this work..amazingly if i make my hard drive bootable on DOS with command.com on it..the system boots on DOS...which makes me think that the BIOS support the booting from USB drive..but none of the windows operating systems are booting from it...will any one is kind enough to solve the puzzle for me?????
thanks

Hello,
I can not say if it is supported on this notebook or not, but on some Satellite M series USB memory is a supported boot option. If you hit F2 on start up and go into BIOS then check boot, if it is supported it should be listed there. Otherwise it is not supported on this model. Hope that helps.

Hello
Why Tecra M2 don't have boot from USB drive in BIOS?
Is posible implemented this function in new BIOS.

Hello
Good question. You should ask this the Toshiba engineers.
However, I agree with Terentino and you can do nothing.

My Macbook Won't boot from USB drives

Alright. Seems that ever since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, I keep having one problem after the next. It's probably my fault, but I've been doing nothing I would think to be wrong...
Anyway. Here's a breif history. I have a Macbook pro. Before I installed Mountain Lion, I had Snow Leopard installed with Windows 7 on BootCamp. I installed Mountain Lion and made a startup USB for it as well. I used that USB as a startup drive so I could shrink my OS X installation partition on my HD so I could make a third partition since I am running out of room on my Windows Partition for games. It suceeded, I partitioned the remaining space on the drive as an ExFAT, and restarted. I tried to load up Windows, nothing would boot. I then loaded up my OS X partition just fine. No issues there. Figured something with the partition messedup the Windows install. So I decided to reinstall Windows. Nope, the Windows install USB won't boot. Okay... Maybe if I delete that extra partition I made, things will work. Nope, won't boot the Mountain Lion start up USB now. And for some stupid reason I cannot resize the partitions using the Mountain Lion startup partition on the HD.
So, what did I break that made it so only OS X will start up and no other bootable drives?

Week 2, this problem still occuring. Would be nice if this support forum actually offered support...

Can I boot the 380e bios upgrade from the cd drive rather than the floppy disk? I don't have any floppies around and I don't want to order them online just for this one task. The bios disk images are here. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=DSHY-46AKPY

I'm sorry that I can't answer your CD vs diskette question, but you mention updating your 380E BIOS and the link you've included is for the 390E.

Satellite C870-191 - How to boot on a CD or a USB drive?

Hi!
I would like to know how to boot on a CD or a USB drive.
My computer is a Toshiba Laptop Satellite C870-191.
I have saved a new boot order on BIOS screen but it doesn't work as expected.
Your sincerely,
J.M.O.

Hi
This is very strange
Set the BIOS to default.
To access the BIOS press F2, then press F9 to get default settings and save changes pressing F10.
Then reboot the notebook and press F12 several times in the row usually the boot menu should appear on the display
Now choose ODD as boot device
Furthermore pressing C button at the beginning should also enable ODD as boot device

Can't Convert Lossless Files From USB Drive to AAC?

Hello, I have a conversion problem from some Lossless files that I have put in a USB drive (so I won't have to keep re-importing the CD's). Everytime I try to convert, I get this:
But if I import the CD's into Lossless THEN convert to AAC from the imported file, it works! I don't want to keep importing, but I want to keep the original files on my USB drives ...please help!

Hello ed and thank you for replying!
Well, I did drag the Lossless files from iTunes to the USB and I did check the properties of the file in the USB and well, I see it is an MPEG-4 audio file (like my other song files are in iTunes).
and I'm sorry if I can't exactly find out if there are CDA files or not.
I also did try ripping the CD files and placing them on the USB but I will try again!

Blue screen when booting from USB drive in UEFI mode (2013.07)

SOLUTION for me was to update the firmware on my ASRock mb as thatu pdate changed the EFI software (by American Megatrends) version from 2.00 to 2.31. However, other users are still experiencing the blue screen.
SHORT VERSION
When I try to boot Arch Linux 2013.07 with an USB drive in UEFI mode (for installation), I get a blue screen (which is rather a literal description and not a hint towards the old Windows' one) with the message
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
LONG VERSION
I made an USB installation media (product: Intenso Rainbow) by following this advice on the wiki.
I used the july release of Arch for that. First of, after installing the image to the USB stick I found that I needed to correct the label in the archiso-x86_64.conf file to ARCH_201307 (or was it the label of the usb stick, can't remember right now). (Pretty sure it was the same problem with "Linux Live USB Creator" which I used 3-4 months ago...)
After doing that, I rebooted and selected the entry
UEFI Intenso Rainbow
from this list of entries:
SATA HDJ ... something (the hard drive where Win 7 64 bit is installed with all programs)
SATA something (hard drive which only contains data)
Windows Boot Manager
USB: Intenso Rainbow
UEFI: Intenso Rainbow
It went to a blue screen with a message in white text saying
Failed to install override security policy (14): Not found
Below that was an OK button which had a black rectangle over it.
After I experienced the bluescreen, I tried booting the
USB Intenso Rainbow
entry and the boot process then worked fine, I got to that Arch menu where I could choose
Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)
Boot Arch Linux (i686)
Boot existing OS
Run Memtest...
and so on...
But just to make sure, I then did the check for UEFI mode according to this and only saw a folder acpi and ... something else I can't really remember, but it definitely was not efi. Thing is, I needwant to boot into UEFI mode as I have Win 7 already installed in UEFI mode.
Some info about my motherboard: it's from ASRock and is called H67M. The BIOS is dated to 2011-10-26 and is version 1.7.
So far, I only found a mention of the problem here at superuser.com.

Ok then, so this thread has also become about the blank screen problem when booting (in this particular case, Arch 2013.06 since 2013.07 seems to be worse).
srs5694 wrote:Typically, you adjust kernel boot options using your boot manager or boot loader. In GRUB, you hit the "e" key to open an editor. In rEFInd, you hit F2 or Insert twice. I don't recall offhand what key does the job for gummiboot (which I'm pretty sure the Arch installer uses), but I'm certain it's got the feature.
You are right. Thanks. I realized I had the gummiboot config right in front of me all the time. It's the file 'archiso-x86_64.conf' in \loader\entries (on Windows).
An addendum: I think the USB: Intenso Rainbow boot option takes me into a GRUB menu. Hitting 'e' in this "big" and fully designed menu didn't do anything IIRC. Hitting 'Tab' did the trick to get into editing the boot command line.
Hitting 'e' worked in the gummiboot menu though.
So I tried booting with the following options (also by combining some of them)
nomodeset
acpi_backlight=vendor
radeon.modeset=0 (I have a Gigabyte 7870 card in this desktop machien)
i915.modeset=0
but it did not help.
To be rather safe than sorry: I should mention that there are two grey-ish bars visible on the top and bottom of the screen after I try to boot the first entry, Arch Linux archiso x86_64 UEFI USB. Always has been with those two older Arch version (2013.05+2013.06). I also found another thread where one user talks about using the VGA port of the monitor, which I am currently not, I am using the DVI one, so that's worth a try too. EDIT It did not help either. What I did was setting the primary graphics adapter in the UEFI north bridge configuration menu to 'onboard' which worked immediately when rebooting (I hit the button labeled "Source" on my monitor and it showed it is using the "Analog" mode), but the problem just stayed the same. Adding aforementioned boot options or a combination thereof did not change anything.
Thanks for the e-mail addresses, I sent one to James Bottomley.

How can I boot from USB drive?

I have installed a Kingston SSD drive on my Macbook Pro. The original HDD is now in a USB enclosure. I tried to boot from the supplied CD by selecting it in the preferences. However they supplied a CD with Aarons for Windows. Now I cannot either clone my HDD to the SSD or boot from the original HDD. How can I override the CD as boot disk?

Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the disk icon of the external USB drive.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
