Anyone know how to boot to CD on Toshiba M200 Tablet PC

Anyone know how to boot to CD on Toshiba M200 Tablet PC

I can't boot to CD to test my Drive Image CD.

There seems to be no way to boot to BIOS, There is a utility you can boot to with five pictures by pressing one of the arrow keys, but when I select the CD Icon it just boots to Win XP Tablet Edition anyways.

Anyways I usually build my own computers from scratch, and am familiar with Most of the ways to boot to BIOS, and none of them work on this PC.

There is alos a hardware utility which gives you boot priority when in Windows and I truied the CD>HDD>FDD etc. No luck. The manual is no help, which I downloaded from Toshibas website.

I bought this unit used on E-Bay, and have no recovery disk, nor manual. But I got it legit, although used.

I guess you have to be a computer wiz with a Toshiba M200 Tablet PC to know the answer to this one. None of the standard options works. By the way I am using a USB double layer Lacie DVD RW unit to boot to standard Drive Image 7 CD, no luck

any help appreciated

On my Toshiba notebook one way I can get into the BIOS is by doing the following. Press the [Esc] key while the system processes its Power On Self Test (POST). In order to use this method, the computer must be "off ", meaning not in sleep/suspend or hibernate mode. Press the power button, then immediately press the [Esc] key (it doesn't hurt to hold the key down). When the POST finishes, you'll be prompted to press the F1 key to enter BIOS setup. Press the [F1] key to access the BIOS setup program. Then I can set it to boot from a CD. That being said I can not boot to a USB drive only to the internal drive. I use True Image to do my backups. I made the True Image boot CD. After using that then I can get my backup off my external hard drive.

 

Thankks, Will Try

 

It worked.

Now if I could only figure a way to boot my Drive Image 7 Program from the external USB DVD drive, I wonder if I got a USB Floppy Drive if that would work?
