Toshiba Satellite wont boot from USB to OS install

[katates]

I have toshiba satellite c55-a-1u6.
I removed Windows 8.1 and recovery. Not I want to install Windows 8.1 again from usb stick.

I disabled Secure Boot from Bios and made the USB priority 1. Still I cant access the installation page all I got is Checking media...
No bootable device - please restart system

Also there is no option to select UEFI or CMS in bios.

Note: Stick is fine. I tried with my asus n53s and its working like a charm.

Hi guys,

could you try to change a setting in the BIOS. Enter to the BIOS and change "advanced- system configuration -boot mode" to CSM. Sure, that now you have UEFI.

After this change, you could boot from USB.

Good Luck

Joan.

I've tried all three on the Satellite S855. Thanks for the response.

As I look through this problem solver database, I find that this seems to be a common problem with Toshibas. The boot and repair disks that I made on the first startup are worthless, as the system doesn't recognize them. Three satellites; same problem.

I'm having the same problem - Hard disk was broken, so bought a replacement, bought recovery DVD via Toshiba, wouldn't boot from that. Copied files onto USB drive (and made bootable). Always get the same errors:
checking media [Fail]
...then...
No bootable decide - please restart

Has anybody got a fix to this? Tried all USB ports, tried disabling secure boot, changed boot order.
