Steve Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Have you tried to Flash the BIOS? Perhaps a flash of the bios might be able to reset it. Also, have you tried calling Toshiba support explaining the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockersh Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 steve i dont know how to do that but i have not tried it johnarrow Go Here - http://support.toshiba.com/drivers You should be able to track down your Laptop model type and download the BIOS Firmware update. I don't know about Toshiba but somethings they have you build a Boot Disk from and flash the BIOS. This is where I would start and go down this path.

Steve Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Even if you can't change the boot order, you should still be able to hit an Function key to boot from either a USB drive or USB Stick. Not helping? BTW - "Hulk Smash".... Funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
