Satellite M45-S355 Cannot boot from CD

Hi, I have Satellite M45-S355 laptop.
When i try to boot from cd.. It passed cd boot screen and starts windows normally.. DVD drive is working normally.. Reading CD's, DVD's..
And also i try to boot from external DVD - Drive.. But i didn't boot from that drive too.. And also i didnt boot from usb because this computer doesn't support usb boot :/
What can i do ? Don't say change your computer =)
I'm waiting your supports.. Please help me..
(But i also have to say that i was booting from cd/dvd drive.. But one years ago, my CD/DVD drive was not reading CD's only reading DVD's.. And i gave my computer to Toshiba and they changed DVD drive.. After they changed drive, the drive can read CD and DVD but now it can not boot from cd ) !

Hi
Possibly just this particular recovery disk cannot be read by the CD/DVD drive.
Copy/burn the Recovery disk to another disk which can be handled buy the CD/DVD drive.
I made good experience with TDK R disks.
Use another computer to copy this disk and then try to boot using this new disk
Good luck

    Hi
    You said you are using an USB DVD Super Multi drive??
    Sorry buddy but I think you will be not able to boot from external USB CD/DVD drive
    As far as I know BIOS doesnt support this!
    You have to use the use the internal CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the disk!

  • Satellite 1130-z28: Cannot boot from portable drive

    my Teac dw 224e drive from Toshiba Satelite 1130-z28 doesn't work. The problem in I've tried to replace it with 3 different types of cd rom drive and none was working.
    The led lits, but I can't boot from them and windows doesn'n even recognize them. Is it possible my portable works only with the same kind of CD unit?

    Hi
    I assume the drive doesnt work because of wrong drive settings.
    Its important that the drive supports right (master/slave/CSEL) settings
    If the drive is not compatible the BIOS and OS will not recognize the drive properly.
    Please note: The notebook drives dont have jumpers like on the desktop PC drives.
    You cannot change the settings. You have to use the compatible drive device.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios update

    Hi
    I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after updating the old bios, I noticed I can't boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem be solved?
    Cheers
    mo

    I used to press F12 after restart and choose from USB. After downloading the bios, the system refuses to boot from the USB (external CD drive). However, if I place the same CD into the unit's CD drive, and choose boot from CD after pressing F12, the unit boots fine. This only happened after the bios update.

  • Satellite M45: Cannot boot from CD-ROM or HDD

    I'm getting the following messages...
    WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table"
    WHEN BOOTING FROM CD-ROM: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM"
    Consequently, even though I have the recovery CDs the computer cannot read them.
    I tried changing boot order to no avail. Created a Bart's bootable CD which works in my other computer but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers I need for this CD-ROM?
    I am at wits end on this one.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think your partition on the HDD is corrupt and therefore you cannot boot from the HDD.
    In such cases the HDD should be completely formatted and then you could try to install the OS.
    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the bootable CD (WinXP???) and therefore its not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, its really stupid situation :_| really stupid!
    However, did you try booting from other CD? For example original Microsoft Windows CD?
    If not I would recommend to do it and possibly the drive will be able to read the other CD.
    If not so I think the drive must be checked. Possibly its also corrupt.

  • Satellite U925t cannot boot from USB

    Hi
    I cannot boot from USB flash drive on Satellite U925t. I use bootable USB flash drive inserted (Hiren Boot 15.2, sure booted on another laptop), restart the system. When the splash screen is displayed, press F12 to access the boot menu, selecting USB - but laptop no boot from USB.
    Please, Help me.
    Thank you very much

    From within Windows, try holding SHIFT when you select Shut down. Is there any change then?
    Also, try entering the UEFI settings, disabling Secure Boot, and changing UEFI to CSM.

  • I cannot boot from HDD nor CD/DVD drive - Satellite C

    I want to recover my laptop & i need to boot from cd.
    I pressed F12 first time & boot from cd but i discoverd that i have put another cd just when i restarted (correctly) i could not boot from cd neither hdd.
    When i log in bios hdd was detected but not available in boot priority menu. Just network adapter was there & now i cannot boot from hdd nither cd/dvd. Bios version is 1.30
    PLEASE HELP ME

    > When i log in bios hdd was detected but not available in boot priority menu. Just network adapter was there & now i cannot boot from hdd nither cd/dvd.
    Does this means that neither HDD nor CD/DVD drive appears in the BIOS boot option?
    Strange what notebook model do you have?
    Did you try to set BIOS to default?
    If not do this (press F9 and save the changes in BIOS)

  • Satellite A200 - Cannot boot from Recovery disk - code 1

    I have Vista business and my laptop is currently running slow and is full of rubbish.
    I have in the past used my recovery disc to completely re-install vista and start from a fresh version.
    However, i have tried this time and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.
    Can someone tell me what this is and how to re-install vista?

    Hmm... so its definitely not a ODD issue but there is something wrong with the shipped CDs. From my knowledge this error would appear if the CD would NOT be bootable!
    Its strange for me that this notebook has been preinstalled with the Vista business.
    Usually the notebooks are preinstalled with Vista Home Premium and usually you have to create the own Recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba recovery Disk Creator.
    Anyway, if you are not able to boot from these disks then you would need other disks.
    You could order it from the ASP in your country or from this page:

  • Satellite M45-S355 and DVD Burning

    I have a Satellite M45-S355 laptop and have never tried to burn DVDs until now. I know it has a Mat****a UJ-831s driver/burner.
    I am not able to find any DVDs under 16x for their speed. How do I burn onto these types of DVDs?
    When I even try to format a disc, etc, the computer says that CD/DVD-R are not supported by this version of DLA.
    Any help would be great!

    Hi
    If you want to burn data on the DVD then I would recommend using an 3rd party software like Nero burning ROM
    I use Nero and Im satisfied.
    Furthermore I recommend checking the registry and to remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Last but not least you can use DVDs which can be burned with higher speed but I recommend burning the DVDs with the lowest speed I do it with 1x speed.
    Cheers

  • Help: Cannot boot from leopard disc anymore, everything else fine

    I was working on an ibook and messing with it in firewire mode and was going to install leopard on it that way from my macpro. (just letting you know the context)
    I tried to restart my machine(mac pro) and boot leopard both by pushing C and by running the installer.
    I get the "You need to hold the power button panic message" everytime I do this. I unplugged external devices and tried this also and it has the same problem.
    I cannot boot from the dvd anymore. If I eject the disc, osx loads normally.
    Any ideas what I can do? (I have tried safe boot, pram clearing and hold option on boot to check options)
    Here is the kernel panic when it finally loads into osx.

    I really appreciate everyone's help.
    I am certainly not above taking the machine in but I will say this.....
    I have been building and working on PC's for 15-20 years. I have never once used or had the need for a repair shop. It is my hobby. I recently switched to osx to give the mac a try and I love it.
    I will say that vista/xp has four times as many problems but at least i can fix whatever comes my way hardware or software.
    Any more ideas how to settle this without making my first trip to the repair shop ever?...

  • Cannot boot from osx or cd, help

    Hi,
    I have a problem. My macbook 5.1 boots only to windows, not to cd or osx. I am not sure what has happened but I think I installed the latest security update. I have a backup with time machine (osx) and vista with windows backup. I can wipe the whole disk clean (I do this only if I am absolutely sure it will work, CD is now unresponsive, what about if network fails...).
    However, I cannot boot from CD, to verbose mode or to single user mode. None of the keys work (eject, c, s, v, cmd+c, cmd+v, cmd+s) anymore at startup. My installation dvd is stuck into the cd-rom. The eject button does not work in windows (otherwise the vista works perfectly). Also the refit screen has disappeared.
    This problem is caused (to my knowlege) due to following actions:
    1. security updade => failure to boot osx (hangs to apple-logo and shuts down)
    2. recovery from time machine to 2 days old configuration (last known working)
    3. current status, no cd, osx or startup buttons
    This is my work computer and I need the linux (osx) part on monday. Please help.
    Juha
    Technical details:
    - refit
    - osx leopard
    - macbook 5.1
    - vista created with bootcamp
    - timemachine 500Gb

    I got the problem worked out. Now that I have the possibility to boot from cd I used the recovery from timecapsule again. Now it worked more properly. There is some issues with some programs and data (missing), but thats another story.
    Last time I left the recovery program calculating the space needed (step 1) overnight, as takes a lot of time. I finished the step 2 (choose recovery date and copy the files) in the morning. I was not at the computer when it did the thing and I only saw the text 'recovery complete'.
    Apparently there is a 'feature' that if you lose the connection between steps 1 and 2, the recovery program copies the network path that is empty (connection lost -> empty path). The program thinks everything is copied and gives 'recovery complete' message.
    The problem is now mostly solved, some programs are not recovered. This is seen as question mark icons in the tray. Overall I have succesfully recovered from the latest security update.
    Juha
    P.S. My original login name has disappeared from this forum. I am the same guy as Dv3. Could some admin mark this as solved.

  • Win 7 pro installed on hp touchsmart 320-1030, the machine cannot boot from installation DVD. Assist

    I have installed Win 7 professional on hp touchsmart 320-1030 with an OEM DVD to overwrite Win 7 premium  preinstalled from factory.
    I want to reboot the machine with the same DVD after completing the installation, to test for possibility of reimage in case of crash. Although in bios, I specify cd\dvd as firts boot media,  the machine cannot boot from installation DVD.  I have 20 machines that behave this way. Can anyone assist?
    Note: I had to delete all partitions on the PC before doing a fresh installation of Win 7 pro as Premium can not joing domain.

    Hello,
    So, you installed Window 7 Pro with a DVD, you boot with it to install the O.S, and now it does not work?
    Have you tried to load the BIOS default values or even updating the BIOS?
    If it had work before, cant understand why it does not work now...
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
    I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

  • Cannot boot from DVD since 10.4.6 update.

    My Quad cannot boot from the Superdrive at all.Upon updating I decided to repair permissions from the DVD but everytime I got to the Apple logo the fans powered up,full tilt. I had to turn the Quad off from the power button and start up holding down the mouse, in order to eject the DVD.
    As far as I remember, I allowed the computer to start up twice, and disconnected all peripherals whilst updating.
    I've tried zapping the pram and resetting the nvram to no avail.I've inserted Disk Warrior and that will not boot. The computer runs fine from the HD (although there was one occasion when, briefly, a small OS9-style Mac monitor appeared with a question mark, then made way for a proper boot), but I'm really concerned at this problem. I do not want to wipe the system drive and start from scratch,since I've only just finished migrating a whole buch of software from another G5, and I have TV job looming.
    Incidentally, both my other G5's and Mac Mini updated with no perceptable problems. Can anyone shed any light on this and, perhaps, offer a solution (other than a wipe ! ).
    Thank you.
    G5 Quad 2.5,G5's DP 2.5/2.0,Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   MOTU 2408's Mk3x3,24i/o,Hammerfall HDSP 9652x3

    Any installation can theoretically cause harm. If you aren't backed up, you may be forced to use Target Disk Mode if you can't boot a DVD, or an external DVD burner that supports booting. Both LaCie and Otherworld Computing have external Firewire DVD drives that support booting. Target Disk Mode is described here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Fortunately when you boot via Firewire or use Target Disk Mode, you bypass the hard drive's bootloading software, which you don't when you use the internal optical drive.

  • 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.

  • Can i try archlinux on usb if my pc cannot boot from usb?

    it seems my old pc cannot boot from usb, only boot from hd or cd.
    can i use usb? or i have to burn a cd?

    If you have a floppy disk you can put the PLoP bootmanager on it:
    http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagerdl.html
    This bootmanager has USB support and can boot from an usb stick even though your bios does not support it.
    You can also burn PLoP on a CD. This is good if you want to burn only one generic CD and then be able to boot any usb stick instead of burning one cd for each OS you want to boot.
