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.

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

  • 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.

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • 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.

    How can I move music from a hard drive to iphone?

    Import it into an iTunes library and then sync the iPhone with that library. If desired, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create or choose an iTunes library on that drive.

  • How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

    How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder?  I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

    What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library.  That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

  • How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    How do I backup to a USB flash drive?

    Do it with Windows, not with iTunes. Copy your whole iTunes folder from the hard drive to the USB flash drive. Or, if you have music not in the iTunes folder, then copy the whole My Music folder.
    Before you start, make sure the flash drive has capacity. Most iTunes libraries are bigger than most flash drives. If you need more room, consider an external hard drive, which have much more capacity than a flash drive.

  • How do I transfer files from a flash drive to my iPad? Do I need an adapter?

    How do I transfer data from a flash drive to my iPad 2? Do I have to have an adapter or special device to do this?

    You can use the camera connection kit to plug in a flash drive. But there are a lot of 'buts'.
    First, most flash drives will trigger a 'device requires too much power' warning and will not work. (I had a 50/50 success rate)
    Second, the iPad will only import properly named photo and video files. You cannot transfer music or documents.
    Third, there is zero support for the export of files.
    You can look into wireless flash drives. The Kingston WiDrive is just one example. They generate a localized wifi hotspot that you can connect your iPad to and then use an app to transfer files.

  • In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro

    In start disc mode can I use a external USB flash drive on MAC Book Pro?

    To do what? Yes you can connect a USB flash drive to the system and if it has the Recovery HD files on it you can boot from it. If it has the OS X install files on it you can boot from it. If it is large enough to contain a Time Machine backup on it you can restore your system from it.
    So what do you want to do with the USB thumb drive?

  • Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a IPod

    Can I download onto a usb flash drive instead of a ipod?

    Yes, but it does not work the same way.  Insert the USB flash drive into the computer and open it so it looks like a folder.  In iTunes, highlight the songs you want, and drag them over to the folder.
    If you usually run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so you can do the drag.
