New Toshiba Satellite - can't boot from CD or USB

[EnderWiggin]

It's my girlfriends new Satellite L870D laptop, I am trying to backup the hard drive with Paragon's Image Backup for Windows 8; I created a bootable CD and a USB drive version from the Paragon software but I can't boot to either on this laptop. Both times I result in a "Media Check: Fail" message.

However the Paragon bootable CD and USB drive boots fine on another system. And the optical drive and USB ports on the Satellite L870D all works fine within Windows 8.

I also checked the BIOS settings for Boot Speed which is set to Normal.

What am I missing?
TIA.

Sounds like you guys are running into a problem with secure boot. Try this on the Toshiba:

To switch UEFI native mode to legacy BIOS mode (and disable secure boot):

Restart the computer. In Windows 8, from the Start or Desktop screen move your pointer over the upper or lower right corner of the screen. When the Windows Charms appear, click the Settings ( ) charm, click Power, and then the Restart option.
Press and hold the F2 key when the screen goes black, and wait for the BIOS setup utility to launch. If your system cannot boot into Windows 8, shut down the computer completely, then press F2 while powering back on.
Select Security -> Secure Boot, and then Disabled.
Select Advanced -> System Configuration, and then Boot Mode.
Change UEFI Boot to CSM Boot.
To save the change and exit the BIOS setup, press F10.

Super Thanks a lot finally I booted from DVD...

There is an option in bios to turn off UEFI mode. Change it to CSM mode and it will boot whatever you want.
