E60 wroteDale_IRE wroteE60 wroteDale_IRE wrote This is the same problem I have, but my bios doesnt show the option to switch from UEFI to CSM boot.
Edit: I have however disabled secure boot in BIOS
I seem to have less options but some of the ones here [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
In BIOS go to the Advanced page, then go to System Configuration, from there do you have Boot Mode?
Yes, in Advanced I have:
Virtualization Technology = <VT-x Only>
Beep Sound - ON
USB Power in sleep mode - ON
[Change Boot Order] =
USB
ODD
HDD/SSD
LAN
[System Configuration] =
Built-in LAN - Enabled
Web Camera - Enabled
Power on Display - Auto Selected
Function Keys mode (without pressing fn first) - Special function mode
This is the options under Advanced but there is no 'boot options'
Without the laptop in front of me, I don't know what else to suggest. Have you tried using a different USB port? try all of them as some could be defective. On boot try booting to boot options and select USB from there (If it shows up), think it's F12 on boot.
If you have another laptop you could put the hard drive from your Toshiba into it, from there install Windows onto that laptop, once the installation is finished move it back to the Toshiba?
You're not meant to do it but it sometimes works. This will work fine if both laptops are the same, I'd only do this if you're desperate.
Yeah I understand, thank you anyway for the help. I have booted to boot menu using F12 and it shows:
USB:
HDD/SSD :TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100(S1)
ODD: TSSTcorp CDDCDW SU-208FB(PM)
LAN :REALTEK PXE
It seems that the USB ODD I purchased isn't being recognised as either the boot drive for CD nor as a USB device.
Do you know if there is anyway to change this?
I don't have a spare laptop/computer so I may need to just pick up a new one. Toshiba is after all, very bad.
I was going to use the 60GB Sata HDD from my Xbox 360 HDD and try this as it's fresh HDD with no OS installed, but I also don't want to loose any data on this as its just filled with save games and profiles.
Thanks again for all the helpm I understand if you can't suggest anything else.

Yeah, I have tried both 2.0 and one 3.0 USB port. No luck USB Drive is also connected to power.
I think it may be time for a new laptop lol

try [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
its a bypass to let you boot from usb's and DVD's
Also I can't switch from UEFI as there is no option unfortunately, on either user, supervisor or master
