     Q. What sizes of USB Flash sticks are supported?
     A. USB Flash sticks are supported in 64, 128, and 256 MB sizes. No other sizes are supported.
     Q. Can I use any USB memory stick for this application?
     A. No. Only Cisco USB memory sticks are supported.
Q. Can I boot an image directly from the USB Flash module?
A. Yes. USB drivers have been added to rommon, starting with version 12.4(13r)
     Q. Can I format the USB Flash module on the router?
A. Yes. You can format the module on either a router or a PC. You must  specify "FAT16 file system" as the file system for the PC format process  to use.
If your setup satisfies above conditions you can get the router to boot up with the IOS on the USB flash
If you are in ROMMON mode, use 'dev' to find out the name of the USB Flash (should be usbflash0).
set BOOT=usbflash0:
If you are in the router,
boot system flash usbflash0:

  • How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time?

    How can I switch the region code on MBP w/ DVD drive for the 5th and final time? It brings up the window with that world map to do it, including the warning that "this is the 5th and final time I can do this", when inserting a DVD and opening "DVD Player", but it never executes my click on the "Change Drive Region" button prompt.
    VLC or Quicktime Player won't play it either, but won't bring up that window to change Region Code anyway....
    Otherwise, I'm not having any other issues with this MBP at all. Peak performance on all counts :-)
    I tried resetting SMC after chatting w/ Apple Support, but it didn't help.
    That was the link they provided. Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
    Tried zapping PRAM as well.
    Thanks for any clues, Rene

    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed. However see this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25416?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

    Hi,
    I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
    Kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Priya

    Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
    For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
    I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
    folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
    [relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
    [absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

  • How do I upload pictures from iphone 5c and iPhoto for editing in photoshop elements 12 please?

    I used to be able to edit all my iphoto pictures in PSE10. I  set the advanced section of preferences in iphoto to edit in PSE.  Since installing Photoshop Elements 12, I cannot get the transfer into PSE  of the photos (unedited and unreduced)  to work.
    The general preferences only give a camera the options of connecting to iphoto, aperture, image capture, or, no application. Assuming my phone is a camera for editing purposes, I would like to give it the option of connecting to PSE 12.
    Also, I would like to import my photos from the iphone 5C into PSE12 for editing. There is an import action in PSE12 which does not seem to work with the imac and iphone. 
    In addition, my email application is greyed out in the general preferences;  I use Microsoft Outlook for Mac.
    How can I change the settings  in 'general' and 'advanced' preferences to work for me, Please? 
    Thanks

    Check to see if the iPhone is a remove able drive then go thru folders looking for dcim folder that holds the pics on the iPhone

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My TOSHIBA NB 100 notebook does not have CD-DVD drive.
    OS is Windows XP Home SP2.
    OS is not booting.
    Notebook won't start at all so I cannot run any sort of test when i turn it on.
    The we apologize screen come on it says run safe mode, safe mode networking, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter which I chose it won't start it only goes to Windows and seems like its starting but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.
    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is HDD - FDD - FD - CD - USB Memory.
    What are the steps for loading Windows from USB flash drive?
    If this does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in its CD-DVD drive to the Notebook.
    Will this work? Will the Notebook use the Windows CD in the laptop drive to load the OS?
    How to do this connection?

    Hi
    Usually you would need an external USB CD/DVD drive in order to boot from the Windows XP disk or Toshiba recovery disk.
    But there is a method which allows you to install the Win XP using 2GB USB flash drive.
    This is possible because the BIOS of NB100 support the booting from USB memory stick.
    Pease check this internet page:

    Hope it could be helpful.

  • How can I boot PC by USB Flash Drive or USB 2.0 Storage Drive ?

    HI
    anyone know ? help me please !

    If you choose USB-FDD and select the USB hard disk in the Boot Priority list, the BIOS will try to boot from that device. For giggles, I stuck a working boot disk (NTFS) into a USB enclosure and tried to boot from it but it didn't work (continuous resets), I don't know what the boot sector requirements are.

  • Need to boot Linux from USB

    I have been trying to get this to work for a while now but it appears with the current firmware it is just not possible to boot a Linux OS from a usb drive.
    Is this true? or is there a way it can be done?
    Basically I work in a forensic computing lab and as our portable forensic machines we have a total of 16 MacBook Pro's all the same spec set up to dual boot WinXP and Leopard.
    So far they've been excellent giving us the benefits of both OS's to run the different forensic tools on.
    My problem is i need to boot a linux distro from a portable drive (USB or Firewire is fine but USB would be better) for a particular purpose.
    As you can imagine, our system gets filled with loads of rubbish and we need to clean them regularly so i have created an install from a wiped drive containing everything we need on the drive. I have then created some scripts in Linux that use dcfldd to create an image of the entire drive and compress it to about 13GB.
    I also created another script that puts the image back on the internal drive.
    This basically allows me to put clean "forensically" secure images back on the laptops within about an hour. i can also then update any software etc before creating a new up to date image.
    Currently I have to use a Linux boot CD to start the laptop with an external drive attached holding the scripts and image. i would like to just have a bootable thumb drive that holds everything and be able to start from it by holding the option key, put the image on the internal drive and reboot. its very quick except from the booting and running from CD whereas a small puppy linux build or similar would be very quick. And because we sometimes have to do this onsite speed is a major issue.
    Am i correct in thinking that the firmware just doesn't allow it or has anyone managed to get this to work?
    If it is the firmware, does anyone know if there is an update on the horizon that will remedy this problem?
    I should state i have tried many linux builds (using MBR and GPT options etc) and refit and nothing allows the drive to boot with refit stating the firmware has limited support for legacy systems on USB.
    I also know that I CAN (and have tried) using a Mac OS installed on the USB drive but it appears to have its own problems. it is fine when the internal drive is empty but because in my case it has an OS on it the system actually seems to use some of the components of the internal drive so when trying to image over it i get conflicts. The Mac OS also takes a lot of room on the drive when i just want a stream lined OS for this job.
    The main reason i don't want to use Mac OS though is that i plan to later add images for our doing our lab machines which are PCs and would therefore not boot the Mac OS.
    If anyone can help with this I would be grateful.
    Cheers
    Chris

    Most Linux distros will not boot from USB devices as is. I believe you're in luck with Ubuntu because there are some methods of running it from USB flash drives that just may do the trick for you. I ran across this when looking into putting Ubuntu on my MSI Wind.
    Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick | USB Pen Drive Linux.webloc;
    On the Ubuntu site look for information in the documentation for installing on pendrives.
    I'm pretty sure that the methods for booting from USB flash drives will apply to any USB drive. From what I learned Linux simply isn't set up to boot from a flash drive or USB drive without some effort on the part of the installer. I've never done this myself so I can't tell you what to do only some pointers to where you may find how to do it.
    After my experience using Ubuntu on my Wind I decided it wasn't worth the effort involved. OS X is simply much better than Linux in every respect. I just wasn't interested in becoming any geekier than I already am. I had enough of that 20 years ago!

  • How can I boot/run from external HD when internal HD is fried?

    Background: I have an original vintage 2002 emac G4 1.25 that I've been messing with for the past couple of months due to slow running and hanging/crashing apps. I upgraded the RAM with an additional 256 MB several years ago and I was running OSX 10.2 without many problems until recently. I was getting messages about the hard drive being full, so I cleaned up and backed up my files to an external HD (USB, of course, since I hadn't found this forum at that time). Freeing up memory didn't help and neither did creating an administrator account, so I ran Apple Hardware Test, which turned up an error code: mem_/2/4 DIMM1/J1601
    When I tried to do an erase and reinstall, the erase part went fine but the reinstall wouldn't work because (on the last of 4 discs) the machine returned a "can't write" error and suggested that the hard drive is unusable.
    My questions: How can I use an external HD (Firewire, of course) to boot and run my emac when the internal HD is fried and there's no operating system on board? How do I install OSX on the external HD to boot the emac in the first place? Also, will the 384 MB of RAM be enough, or must I upgrade that, too? For that matter, what version of OSX would be best?
    Thanks for any help you can offer. I am a long-time mac user (still have my Classic, which still works), and I'd really rather not replace the emac.

    HFS stands for Hierarchical File System. The plus sign stands for extended or extended format.
    This is the data system format that Apple uses for their operating systems.
    When you buy an external hard drive device, typically they do not come pre-formatted.
    You'll need to use the Disk Utility app in OS X in your username/Applications/Utilities folder on your eMac if it's still operational or when you start up your eMac from the OS X 10.5 DVD located in the Applications/Utilities folder.
    You use this app to initialize and format the drive once it is connected to your eMac. If you wish, you can also, at that stage, partition the drive into separate variable size sections to make a large capacity HD more manageable.
    You need to have a functioning stick of RAM in your eMac in order for it to boot up correctly.
    The OS X startup routine looks for all components in your eMac that are necessary for a successful start up.
    Your eMac will not boot up, even from CD/DVD, without any RAM installed.
    If you have only one stick of RAM in your eMac and it's bad or corrupted, you'll need to purchase and Install a new stick of RAM to start.
    You might as well purchase 2 brand new 1 GB RAM sticks for your eMac. 2 GBs
    OS X 10.5 Leopard's minimum RAM requirements are 512 MBs of RAM.
    Your eMac can max out at 2 GBs of RAM.
    The specs for the RAM are PC2700 SDRAM, DDR333, 184 pins.
    Here are links to websites I use to buy Mac accessories and Hard drives compatible with Macs.

  • How run live/install linux from usb/sd?

    Hi there, im trying to run in live mode a linux distro (e.g. Backtrack or Ubuntu) from usb key but im experiencing issuess...
    i tried Uinetboot usb creator and even partitioning the removable drive in hfs and ext4 with rEfit installed in the first one and the linux image in the latter but i always see something like "no bootable disk"...
    which is the best way to do it?
    im using a macbook air 2012 with 4gigs
    thanks,
    Enrico

    There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
    This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
    And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
    What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a  mac-model device ID string that specifies yes.  An unnecessary hurdle.

  • Can't boot Arch from USB on Acer Aspire One...

    Hi All,
    New to the forums, relatively new to Linux. I've tried several distros including #!, U/K/Xubuntu, Mint, Kuki, Puppy and Wolvix. However none of them, except maybe Mint, have played very nicely with my Acer Aspire One netbook. Even Kuki was a bit of a disaster, though I liked the Midori browser, first time I'd used it was under Kuki.
    Intro aside, I want to try Arch. I am not scared of a bit of hands-on work via CLI, although am certainly no expert when it comes to CLI & Linux!
    The problem is, I created a USB install for the latest 32bit version of Arch using Unetbootin (I tried both under Windows and Linux, creating USB live sticks with both). However when I try to boot from USB, all goes well until just after a message during the boot process appears. I forget off the top of my head what the error message says, though it appears after successfully waiting 30 seconds to discover a SCSI drive (or something along those lines).
    The error has nothing to do with the drive, it's related to the step in the boot process that comes after that. Whatever the message is (I'm at work so cannot access logs or anything right now) it ends up asking me to resolve from a CLI prompt, which then leaves me with a prompt dialog, or to restart and try again.
    Nothing seems to work so I am not sure what I am doing wrong or if it might be a bug with Unetbootin or a bug with the latest version of Arch? Or simply a good old fashioned ID10T error?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks! I'll mark this as an ID10T error for now then. I'll give the USB install image a try tonight. On a side note, does Arch come with Skype pre-installed and if not, is it relatively simple to install a la the *.deb package install?
