Does KT4 boot from USB Flashdisk?

Unfortunately I don't have the KT4 board, but I could have a one.
Have anybody experience if KT4 boots from USB Flashdisk?
Thanks.

presumably most modern mobos allow for booting from USB devices such as floppy drives and flash disks
why not download the manual from here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_list.php?kind=1&CHIP=4&NAME=Socket%20A%20(AMD%20K7) and looking through the BIOS instructions? i think there should be.

W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
Thanks,
CS

Hello Neil
Thanks for getting back to me
The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the Startup menu.
To enable
1. Enter bios
2. Select boot
3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
5. Save and exit.
You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
Cheers

Tecra 8000: Does Bios Update enable booting from USB?

Hello
I have Toshiba Tecra 8000 (PentiumII 266MHZ)
Will this bios bios-t8000-930-trad.zip (08/26/02) enable boot from USB ?

Hi
Im not sure about that. Your BIOS version is 020 but on the Toshiba website I have found a BIOS version 9.30. Well, it seems that this version is newer but Im not sure if it allows you to use the 40GB HDD.
Some Tecra 8000 models were delivered with a 14 GB HDD. In my opinion it should be possible to use a 20 or maybe a 30 GB HDD but its difficult to say if the bigger HDD size will work.
You can ask the professional HDD dealer or a ASP for further informations.

I have not only regenerated my boot files while updating my deployment share, I have completely rebuilt the MDT 2012 deployment share from scratch, and I'm still getting the exact same errors. I can't figure out what is causing this. The only hits for these
errors seemed to say that the -214... error is likely related to a missing file, but I don't know how to figure out what that might be. I don't know what the FAILURE ( 5456 ) could be caused by, either, although it seems to be related to not knowing what partition
should be imaged or imaged to. I haven't been able to find any reference to MDT needing a partition to image from/to set in a CS.ini property or in a task variable.
I am running a modified version of the Sysprep and Capture Task Sequence (set up as described at http://bjtechnews.org/2012/06/01/mdt-2012-capturing-a-reference-image-part-ii/, it's basically the default settings for that TS with the sysprep step disabled and
the "Set Image Folder" task variable created per that post--I ran sysprep myself, manually, on the machine before shutting it down to boot from USB) after booting a Dell Latitude 10 tablet from a USB drive created by extracting the contents of the
MDT 2012 DeploymentShare$\Boot\LiteTouchpe_x86.iso to a FAT32-formatted volume.

How Can I boot from USB - Portege A200

Hi,
I've got an Portege A200 which is only a couple of years old but the hard drive no longer works. Initially I thought this was due to corrupting the boot record on the drive but after attempting to replace the hard drive (with two different drives) it is showing an IDE #0 error upon boot. I have therefore come to the conclusion the IDE controller chip has died.
In order to get the latop working I burned a cd with the ubunto ISO. This boots ok but due to only have 512Mb RAM the system is somewhat limited and anything installed is lost everytime I reboot.
I have now bought a 2Gb flash drive and installed ubuntu onto this. My next problem is that there appears to be no boot from USB HDD or USB Memory Stick option in the bios.
The possible options that I can think of are:
1) Upgade the bios so it supports boot from memory stick (although no HDD so not sure how I could reflash the BIOS or if there is even a BIOS upgrade that would support this functionality)
2) Create a cd which starts the boot process then tells the system to continue booting from the usb drive (Is this possible and does anyone know where I might be able to obtain such software)
3) Boot from CD but use the USB to retain any information saved / any installs etc (I guess similar to option 2 except the cd would manage the whole OS and the USB would just hold 'additional' information)
If there are any other options that anyone can think of I am happy to give them a go. Seems a shame to have to chuck a laptop that isn't particularly old because the IDE controller chip has failed on the mobo.
I apppriciate any help anyone can offer.
Many thanks,
Mark

Hi
First of all I have to say that its not possible to boot from the external USB device like the USB stick, USB CD/DVD drive or USB HDD.
Its possible only to boot from the external USB FDD (diskette) drive
However, not the booting possibilities are clear but I think you have misunderstood the IDE#0 error message. In m opinion the IDE controller is not faulty but only the new HDD is not compatible and not recognized by BIOS.
There are different reasons for this issue
Mostly this error message appears if the HDD master/slave/c-sel settings are not correct.
Usually such settings dont need to be changed or switched on 2.5 HDDs but some HDDs support an jumper which must be set in the right position. But I dont if your HDD supports this
Furthermore the not compatible HDD size could be the reason for such error messages!
So finally I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country to get a new, compatible HDD and to check if the same error persists.
Good luck

Satellite C50-A634 wont boot from USB or DVD

My new toshiba Satellite C50-A634 wont boot from usb, or dvd ,
i have downloaded win 8.1 and burn image to dvd but i still get an error message "no bootable device......please restart system" .
Can some one plz help?

Hi
Does Satellite C50-A634 supports internal CD/DVD drive or did you try to boot from external optical disk drive?
You have to know that _Satellite C50 & Satellite C50D models *without* a built-in ODD_ are not able to boot from an external ODD due to a technical limitation.
Details here:
[Limitation of external boot media for Satellite, Satellite Pro C50 & C50D devices|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03JA0000R01.htm]
Only USB flash drives are supported as external boot devices!
It is necessary you can use a USB flash drive as recovery media on notebooks without a built-in ODD.

Mobo Support for booting from USB hdd

Hi,
I have a K8N Diamond.
How can I check whether my mobo can support booting from USB hdd?
I know it can boot from the USB-CDROM.
If not, do I need a bios update?

How to identify your BIOS and m/b version
But please don't go flashing your BIOS just for the sake of doing so.
Your USB HDD will be listed under Hard Disks in BIOS, there won't be a USB-HDD option
Wow, thanks for the link and the pointer. I've found out where the USB hdd is now.
I won't flash my bios for the sake of that thanks to you, but I'm upgrading to a Dual-Core soon and I realised my bios is w7100nms v1.0.
So I have to flash my bios soon. Any tips regarding this?

How to boot from USB flash drive - Portege R500

Hi,
I have a Portege R500 running Windows XP, brought about 2 years ago, and recently contracted a worm virus that has infected some of the start up files as the minute I log in it logs out again, even in safe mode! Quickest way I can think of sorting it is to reformat it with the XP recovery disc and reinstall windows.
Problem!! The CD/DVD drive on the laptop stopped working a while ago, have tried pretty much everything in the thread on this site but had no luck.
So my plan was to boot from a USB flash drive and do it that way. However in the boot settings I only have the options of HDD / FDD / CD-ROM / LAN, neither of these will work. Does anyone know how to boot from USB flash drives?
Any help would be really appreciated

Hi
As far as I know it should be possible to boot from USB FDD
Im not sure if you would be able to boot from USB flash drive but its definitely worth a try
Generally you could try to press F12 button when notebook powers up.
Then a boot menu should appear on the display and you should see all bootable devices.
PS: As far as I know the USB booting was available in ToshibaHWSetup (Toshiba tool which changes the BIOS settings in windows OS.) Therefore I assume booting from USB should be possible.

Bootcamp woes, unable to boot from USB and DVD drive reads all DVDs blank

My partner and I are completely unable to install Windows using Bootcamp. We have tried dozens of solutions on the internet.
2011 iMac (purchased in by me and my partner 2012) reads all DVDs as blank. We have (hilariously) another Mac, an MBP, that has the same exact problem. You'd almost think "Superdrives" eventually just stop working or something. So obviously we can't install Bootcamp on the iMac using a DVD.
But what about a USB stick? Well after modifying the plist file and writing a bootable Windows USB and trying to boot from that, we were greeted with the mysterious and apparently yet-unsolved "no bootable device" error.
So our iMac can't boot from USB drives or read DVDs. We've only owned it for two years. And this is the second Mac we've owned where the Superdrive has died. And we don't even use DVDs more than like once a year.
But anyway, can someone tell me what we're supposed to do if we want to install Windows aside from throwing money away to buy another Superdrive that is probably going to die again in a year? Maybe a way to make our mac boot from our USB stick? Something?
Thanks.

Should you have another drive with a MBR, use it to rule that issue out. Alternatively create a GPT on the flash drive and try to boot from it.
What options are there for the usb controller/boot priorities/order/options? Does the laptop recognize the usb flash when already in bios setup? Should there be any form of choosing the device to boot, use that with the flash drive in the socket, then switch it with the external drive.

K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it. I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations? I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso. I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine. I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP). I have BIOS 3.6. I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work? Will it never work no matter what I do?
I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings.
Any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

Won't boot from USB hard drive?

Hi, all. My daughter has a brand-new Aluminum Macbook a week old, with all Apple software updates applied and everything running smoothly. She has a Seagate FreeAgent Go external USB 2.0 hard drive divided into two HFS+ Journaled partitions using the GUID partition scheme: a large partition on which to back up her internal drive, and a small partition for use as an emergency boot "disk." We've used the latest version of SuperDuper to make a bootable clone of her internal drive on the large backup partition, and I've just begun installing Leopard from her MacBook installer DVD onto the emergency boot partition as I write this (using my own computer). After 25 minutes, the installer DVD is still being "checked for consistency"; I hope things will finally begin to move along faster when the installation actually starts.
We'll see what happens when that installation is done, but before I began it, I checked to make sure the SuperDuper clone on the backup partition would boot the MacBook. To my dismay, it did not, although I held down the Option key during startup, selected the backup partition in Startup Manager, and clicked the arrow to proceed with booting from that partition. The MacBook booted from its internal drive anyway.
You'll note that I'm not a Leopard or Intel Mac user myself, so I'm not familiar with any issues that may be more familiar to regular users of that OS or of Intel Macs. Can anyone tell me whether SuperDuper has problems creating bootable USB clones that work in Leopard or on those machines? Is there something else I should be doing to boot from the clone we made, instead of using the Startup Manager? Any other thoughts on why this hasn't worked?

I have noticed that the start-up disk appears just about anywhere except in the upper right-hand corner. I too, was convinced once that I was booted from the wrong drive. However, I have implicit faith in SD and since it has never let me down, I searched and found the boot drive hiding amongst some files littering my desktop.

HP Pavilion 11 x2 not booting from USB

I have tried everything I can think of but my HP Pavilion 11 x2 will not boot from USB...I have Windows 10 currently installed on it and need to boot from USB to allow me to install a new OS on the machine.
I have gone into hte bios...(which I can see is a locked bios with very limited options)....I have turned off the Secure Boot option and have set the USB has the first boot device.
But when I hit F9 on startup...it just gives me 2 options:-
OS Boot Manager
Boot From EFI File
I have tried Boot from EFI File...but this does not work..
I know the USB is configured correctly as I can boot from it on my desktop computer.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks in advance

hi,
i stumbbled into your thread while i was looking for a similar answer for my Pavilion X2 10".
mine was delivered with win 8.1 with bing. it was alright to use, but i was unable to bring this machine to connect to my office domain. due to the lack of networking features which is only available in the pro or enterprise version of win 8.1.
i tried many ways to load in a win 8.1 pro os. the disc is authentic, keys are authentic, usb stick or optical drives; it makes no differences. the machine just refuse to boot into the usb disc / stick like all other previous system does.
there isnt an option for the bios to go into legacy mode. however there is an option to turn off the secure boot, but that does not gives legacy support to the make the system boot to usb.
i had probably done the same things you tried, no matter what setting is done to the bios, there is always only 'os boot manager' and 'ueif' when i hit boot sequence (f9).
had tired everything that i can think of, talking to HP was like talking to an answering machine, and they were asking the most bacis questions ... "were you able to select 'legacy boot' from the bios menu?" ... even when i tell them there isnt a legacy boot option in the bios ... they were too amature .
i concluded that the only way to boot to usb is to do it in uefi with secure boot off and encryption turn off in win 8.1 (else it will bring u to bitlocker).
but i am still unable to boot into the usb media to install win 8.1 pro today. i gave up.

MSI-6702;Booting from USB.

Hi,
Is it my imagination or does this board not allow booting from a USB device? Or am I missing something? Does this board not support booting from a USB storage device? I thought it did, but I could be mistaken.
I get no option to select USB to boot from in the BIOS, or when I select the boot menu. The device in question is an external Plextor DVD burner, as it's my only CD/DVD device I have an interest in getting this to work.
Thanks.

Do you have the Case Front USB ports plugged in? If so remove them as most cases are wired incorrectly and try one of the rear ports. The front ports should not be plugged into the MB until the wiring is checked.
If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.
If you don't mind deleting/closing this topic.
I figured it out.
It usually helps to use a USB cable and not a Firewire when trying to boot from USB.
Both my USB and Firewire cable are silver, I thought I had triple checked it. I guess not.
Thanks for the quick responses though.

Flex 15D Help reinstalling - Boot from USB

I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a Flex 15D (no optical drive) shipped with Windows 8.1
At present it is completely unresponsive, taking anything up to 5 minutes to recognise that I have clicked anything, open the task manager, etc. The task manager doesn't show anything heavy running, AV has scanned the PC and there are no infections. so I decided to go back to scratch and restart.
OneKey simply tell me that the recovery partition has become corrupted and can't be used.
I then bought a copy of Windows 8.1 from Microsoft, followed their instructions to create a bootable USB key and get windows 8.1 set up from the DVD onto it, but the Lenovo won't boot from USB. I have been in the BIOS, boot from USB is set, but the boot options give me the OS booter only.
Third attempt i went out and bought a USB DVD drive, connected that and tried to install a brand new Windows 8.1, but again the Lenovo won't acknowledge that there is a DVD drive attached (although it sees and uses it perfectly when it does finally boot into windows).
Can anyone give me any help as to how I could reinstall the laptop?
Thanks

Looks like you'll have to remove the hard drive, put it in a usb caddy and use another computer to get your data.
