Portege A600 - Dissapearing of USB boot option after updating to bios 3.00

USB boot option seems to have disappeared from bios boot sequence menue after I installed bios 3.00. I wonder why this happened and how I can bring it back.

Hello,
normally the USB boot option is available and you can select the supported modi in the bios settings.
In a company environment it is possible to disable USB as boot device with some special tools. In this Case yo ushould ask your administrator.
If you are a single private customer you should visit an ASP.

Windows 8 does not have a USB boot option

QuestionHow can I boot my Windows 8 laptop from a USB device? I created a recovery disk on a USB thumb drive.
So far I have:
Entered into the UEFI (BIOS) and set USB to boot first.
Disabled secure boot.
I tried to reboot using the general setup options for startup in the windows settings page. I choose boot from USB through the UEFI, but got an error message that system does not have a USB boot option.
To confirm I also created a bootable DVD with an ISO burner, but my laptop cannot detect a DVD boot option either.
I assumed that the firmware of the UEFI for this computer allowed a bootable USB but in practice I cannot seem to get this work.
AnswerTo assist with not being able to boot from a USB device on a Windows 8 laptop, perform the following:
Plug in USB bootable device.
Hold down F12 when restarting and access UEFI menu (option is below drive list). If system is set to fast boot, CLICK HERE for instructions on entering the UEFI.
Go to UEFI and make USB "1st boot".
Disable secure boot.
Go to the "Advance" Tab, select "System".
Change boot order from UEFI to CSM.
Save changes and exit (F10).
Computer will restart and boot from USB drive.
When finished go back into the UEFI and set defaults then save changes and exit (F10). Windows 8 will reboot normally next reboot.

Done that, only choices are "Set up Firefox to Sync" & "Pair a Device". No ''UNLINK THIS DEVICE". Your turn.

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

hi try2ops,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
The options set under your BIOS are all set,
With that, try this
Plug in your Bootable USB
Power ON your system then right away start hitting F12
It should give you a Boot Menu Including USB as bootable.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Hi guys,
my friend just bought new laptop from US (Satelitte L675-7052), and he would like to install Windows 7 from USB. His BIOS is AMI v1.4. USB legacy is enabled in BIOS but USB boot option still doesn't appear in boot menu.
Does anybody have solution for that BIOS (laptop model) , please? He sent me some screenshots as well:

Thx for any reply :)

Hey, thx for reply.
It's my friend's laptop and not mine :) And the reason why he wants to install Windows 7 from USB is that I adviced that to him. As I have older Satellite laptop and I prefer to install it in that way - it's faster and i guess more precise :) Plus, my Mat****a DVD mechanic has been screwed for one year now (and I am not going to pay 200 $ for a new internal DVD mechanic at all).

HP notebook 635 usb boot option

We have several hp notebook 635 that need to have usb boot option disabled in bios. When i go into bios usb is the only device that I can't disable. Am I missing something? Is it possible to disable usb boot as these computers are being used by students on a network who do not need to this option. Nor sdo we want them to have this option. Thanks in advance.

Some HP bios's are very limited, if it is not available in the bios, you cannot.
Please post your full product Number

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

Nvidia monitor couldn be load after updates the bios 1.9...

Halo....Have anyone used NVIDIA monitor? I'm having a problem using that applications and prompt an error message after updating the BIOS V1.9.. Anyone has any opinion on it?
Btw using Norton Ghost 9 and Raid0 which is better? Cos I wanted to knoe as I want to installed my other's PC which!!

K8N Neo2 isn't supposed to be supported by ntune (only nvfirewall and nvraid through ntune-lite) , so I would say it a good thing it blocks access
considering the mishaps people have had in using it for tweaks .

How can I boot to USB device if no USB boot option in BIOS

I just purchased a Toshiba NB305-N410BL but am concerned as to how I would image the 250GB HDD if I can not boot from an external cdrom drive. I tried to backup to shared network folder but none show up on list. Only boot options in BIOS are HDD, FDD, and LAN. Thanks for all help in advance.

Hi, buddy-erp.
I don't know if my instructions apply to you because I only have the NB305 model. However, if you say you have followed all instructions, that is, 1) insured that no other USB devices are connected to your computer at bootup time and 2) have pressed F12 to enter the boot menu; 3) and then designated the USB flash drive as the source of the bootable restoration software you may need Toshiba technical support. I wonder if there is a BIOS update for your computer too. This may need to be downloaded and installed prior to beginning the restoration process. Nevertheless, as stated, I have a NB305 model and the instructions are clear. FYI (for your information), a virus infected my system and made certain changes to this process. Toshiba technical support informed me that the information displayed was wrong and the process outlined was unnecessary but did require technical support to restore it to the OEM default options.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Bi-Ill
Good luck!

No boot option after Windows 7 install on Mac Pro

Hi,
I have problem and it is very frustrating.
My configuration
Mac Pro 1.1 2x2.66
RAM 5 GB
HDs
Bay1 500GB (have a Mac OSx 10.6)
Bay2 250GB (install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit)
Bay3 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6) primary system
Bay4 250GB (in raid Mac OSX 10.6.6)
I have install Windows 7 via Bootcamp from system 10.6.6 and format and install Windows 7 on HD in Bay2. After installation I try to choose which operating system I want to run (with option key) but nothing happen.
It was grey screen without apple logo and system boot to Windows 7 only.
I try everything to boot with different options (key shift,x,c,...) but nothing happen. I can only boot with windows 7 and if is the windows 7 DVD in drive first ask to boot with DVD, after that boot on Windows 7.
I try to put Mac OS system DVD but still don't want to run.
I also try to remove HD from Bay1(macosx) and Bay2 (windows7) and boot from Raid HD and I have error that there is no boot system.
In windows 7 I run Paragon HFS+ and I can see HD500 in Bay1 but cant see in Bay3 and 4 (RAID hd). In disk utility I can see all hard drives.
I try to reset PRAM but while booting what ever I press nothing happens and boot only windows 7.
I need solution for this problem, please help me with this issue, thx

Another thing that might be close...
I've installed Win7 64-bit on a second HDD. It is Ok to choose boot with 'option' key, but another option is missing: while in win7 apple's bootcamp control panel shows both MacHD and Win7 bootable partitions, so I can tell 'software way' to boot to win or to Snow Leo. It's OK. However when I open 'startup disk' in OS X there's only Mac HD so if I need to reboot to windows I can't just do it with several clicks. I actually have to shut down OS X, wait for boot screen, press option and then wait for the boot options to appear and them choose. It's 'a bit' annoying, let alone windows version of bootcamp seems to do the job smarter. And it really is a good thing to choose "reboot into desired OS" with a click and go to kitchen for tea or something and not seat in front of the machine waiting for boot screen...
Am I missing something? Is it done the other way then 'system preferences>startup disk'?

Satellite A660 - USB boot problems after BIOS update

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and recently have update the BIOS to the latest version (1.80). Since then the notebook will freeze on the boot screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
It works without the flash memory connected and also if I connect it after I enter the boot menu or the BIOS setup. I can even boot from it like this.
As far as I am concerned this is a serious regression. Is there any way I can downgrade the BIOS version, or any other way to fix this issue ? I rely heavily on external USB drives.
Regards,
Claudiu.

I too am having problems with my A660 since upgrading to 1.80 bios - the HDD/SD utility, the pc health monitor and half the other toshiba utilities no longer work because they can't recognize the bios and actually tell me this... I get an error message telling me ''can't get bios type''...
On top of this I get the boot problem as well - I have to unplug half of my USB devices to get the laptop to boot properly...
And now - one month into owning my new A660 - after a hard drive failure, a problem with the Broadcom internal wireless adaptor I now have the internal TV tuner no longer working and have no idea how to fix it...
My gut feeling is that the sooner I can downgrade to the original factory bios the BETTER - and wait for another bios update to come along that is not faulty/buggy...
HOPE someone can help me with this...
John.

Lost Windows 7 boot option after creating new partition

First of all im new to Mac os.
i have installed windows 7 using boot camp and after it i tried to create a new partition from the main mac partition and it was created successfullly however now the windows 7 boot option is not available for some reason.
how can i have this option back?

You broke it by adding the extra partition, remove Boot Camp (read the directions as to how) and start again. Do not add partitions next time.
Do not use Disk Utility to remove the Boot Camp Partition, use it to remove any extra partitions.
Backup your machine now.
