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

How to enter BIOS settings on my Satellite Pro S300?
Hi
It can look stupid but I'm trying to access to the BIOS menu on my TOSHIBA Satellite Pro S300-EZ1511 and i can't, i searched for that on the manual but i couldn't find anything.
I need to go there so i can change the SATA settings to IDE so i can install windows XP system after i formatted the Vista.
ThanksIt should be in the Users Manual somewhere.
Turn on the laptop, and hold down the ESC key. Then press F1 when it prompts you. -
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. -

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

How to Boot From an External HD
I am still pondering getting a mini - I know that I will want a much larger hard drive (since I want to use it for media and will keep tons of video and music on it). I would like to know how to boot from an external hard drive. I've searched google, the forums, and apple support, and see people mention it all the time, but can't find out how to do it, etc. Is it just like running off my normal HD but all the files are kept on the external (so I could still access files thru itunes, etc.)?
Also, I would like to get a 500GB+ drive to keep my files on, and was wondering if people had recomendations. Brands, USB 2.0 or Firewire, etc.
Apologies if this is a novice question - but I can't seem to find answers anywhere.
Thanks in advance.Firstly, it is certainly possible to boot from an external drive, so what you plan is not only feasible, but since the external would be faster than the internal drive, also rather beneficial to the efficient running of the mini - meaning, the system will be notably faster in use.
In my view, the best option is an external firewire drive, not USB. The reason is that FW has it's own dedicated controller while USB doesn't. In effect, it means that FW data transfer speeds are stable and consistent, while USB rates vary widely, depending on what else the system is doing.
Once you have your external drive connected, the easiest way to make it bootable is to copy your existing MacOS install from the internal drive using software such as Carbon Copy Cloner (downloadable from www.versiontracker.com). This will avoid having to do a lengthy reinstall. Once MacOS is copied, then open System Preferences, and the Startup Disk preference pane, and click on the external drive icon. The next restart will then be directed to the external.
Once you have booted from the external drive, you use it just as you would an internal, and MacOS will treat it as the boot volume, including by default, placing your user account folders on it, including your documents, music etc. -
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!
Go to Solution.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 external Hardisk where sap is installed

santhoshHi,
You can not boot OS from USB devices in Windows.
Create the separate drive on your existing disc and install windows on that drive and use ur USB disc for installing SAP.

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 appreciatedHi
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.

OS X Yosemite 10.10
I have a external HDD and want to erase and restore my laptop so I can install windows via Bootcamp Assistant but I don't know how to boot from a clone to fix the issue and am not sure if when I erase and restore I will still have Yosemite 10.10? I have no way to reinstall the OS if I lose it. An average user friendly guide would be greatly appreciated pleaseI do not think you have to erase your MacBook's disk in order to install Windows. First of all you can try a few things before formatting the disk.
The first thing you should do is to check that your MacBook Pro's drive is OK with Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, choose "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and press "Verify Disk". If it gives you any error, you will have to boot your Mac in OS X Recovery (press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up) to repair Macintosh HD (the steps are the same but pressing "Repair Disk" instead of "Verify Disk").
After you have repaired the drive, boot up in OS X and try partitioning the drive again with Boot Camp Assistant. If it does not work, you will have to format the drive and reinstall OS X, but I will give you these steps only if this does not work. -

(I don't have my (no-longer booting) iBook in front of me to check this, but I think this is what I did last night....)
Boot single user -- hold down "cmd-S" immediately after you turn the computer on.
"diskutil list" will give you a list of your disks. My CD drive was disk1.
"diskutil eject disk" should eject the target disk. -
Hyper-V VM Generation 2 - How to boot from .ISO
Hi guys,

I have a VM Gen2 with following settings:
I can boot fine from the same .iso from a Gen1 VM so the .iso is bootable.
I know that the Gen2 VM uses SCSI instead of IDE, but I have no clue regarding how to boot from the .iso..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
