gipsy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Quote Doesn't it seem from my screenshot that the problem is rather in the Computer then the USB? quite possible u r ryt but it's not too heavy to check same but with another USB drive & port for be sure? in your case problem could be solved by the elimination method only. i installed win 7 to UEFI notebook after win 10 succesfully via Ultra Iso for 10 min.previosly hv chosen Legasy first,USB boot & formated ALL my SSD durin' an installationbut not C drive only. slow and steady wins the race. good luck man.

LOQUILLO Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The us this steps for BIOS legacy: - First select the image or dvd file - Second, select Partition scheme and target system - Third, click in Start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOQUILLO Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hi @asf, you could post the specs of your machine, mainboard, ram, hd and others components into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Which box? The model of the computer is Toshiba Satellite A600 PSAW3E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQUILLO Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Laptop, maybe it's configureted for UEFI boot, in this case you need change to Legacy mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibranium Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I assume you are making the USB properly. So, maybe you want to check your BIOS. (1) if there is an option called "Fast Boot" disable it. (2) If there is an option called "Secure Boot" disable it. (3) Allow Legacy (a.k.a. CSM) boot.

vibranium Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well, blame it on the gremlins. Seriously, I have found out that one some laptops strange things can happen. Maybe switch the USB stick to other USB ports, especially 2.0? Also, be sure to execute full shutdown from Windows 8.1. Either hold down power button for 5 seconds or, better, issue "shutdown -p" from administrator command prompt. Then start again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a USB 2.0, and right now there is Windows 7 on that Laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I see this picture and also see, that you have not launched from USB but from HDD/SSD. Did You pressed F12 or F2 or I do not know what is yours button, which opens the BIOS boot menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibranium Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sorry, according to your screen there might be something wrong on the USB itself. 1. Follow the instructions here to create the USB manually. http://www.johnpapa.net/bootfromusb/ 2. Use the bootsect.exe here. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=29451276405852646938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If this is a USB 2.0, there can not be anything wrong. If it is 3.0, only then is an opportunity. But after all, I see here, that there is no attempt to run from USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m!r@cle Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Please also make Sure you are Using 64-Bit to make a Bootable USB for installing 64-Bit Version of Windows --OR-- 32-Bit to make 32-Bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The identifying information you gave for the laptop is not complete. You gave Toshiba Satellite A600 PSAW3E but there are identifying numbers after both of those number sets. For example SATELLITE A660-148 PART NUMBER: PSAW3E-02400TEN which has a DVD Super Multi Drive so you could write the ISO to a DVD and install using that instead of messing around with USB. Since your problem appears to be the machine won't boot I was looking for technical info on the machine but there are so many that without further identifying information it is impossible to find the correct tech specs.

vibranium Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He is asking whether you have a DVD-writer that you can burn the ISO on, so you can boot from it. This was the original intention for issuing the installation in ISO format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straycat19 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I need you to fill in the question marks in the following with the identifying data from you laptop SATELLITE A660-??? PART NUMBER: PSAW3E-???????? so I can get the tech specs on your system to see what we are dealing with here. If you have a writer/reader it is dvd compliant. If you write your iso to dvd you will then be able to boot the system from it. You can use ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/) to burn the iso image to a dvd.

hawk007 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Your installation disk is 64 bit or 32 bit? For 64 bit windows, pure UEFI mode will not make any issue to boot. But, if it's 32 bit, then enable CSM (Compatibility Support Module) in Firmware and try again booting from that UFD. (PS. Hope, you made the Boot UFD with UltraIso; never failed for me in case of Windows Installation Disks.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 64 Bit, i doubt the laptop supports UEFI. (it's an old laptop, there even isn't any driver support from Toshiba above windows 7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
