For example, if you set your system to boot from devices in this order: CD-ROM > HDD > LAN, the computer first checks for a bootable CD, then for a bootable HDD, then for a bootable LAN, and loads the operating system from the first one it finds.ĭifferent models offer different options for setting boot priority. ![]() From BIOS Setup (semi-permanent setting)īoot priority specifies the order in which the computer searches for a bootable operating system.Toshiba PCs that offer alternate boot devices allow you to specify which device to boot from (the 'boot priority') by three methods: ![]() These devices include USB diskette drives, CD-ROM discs, a local area network (LAN), and PC Card (PCMCIA) hard disk drives.

If it is dying then that could certainly cause problems. The only way to really fix it is to reformat the drive and try again with a fresh install. But windows should absolutely be installed locally.Ģ) When you first installed the technical preview did you make a backup, or at least leave your recovery partition alone so that you can reload to your pre-preview state (running win7/8)?
