Toshiba Sat. with UEFI BIOS won't boot Precise CD (Solved)
Toshiba Sat. with UEFI BIOS won't boot Precise CD (Solved)
I just purchased a new Toshiba Satellite C55d-A5120 with Windows 8.1 installed and I cannot get it to boot Puppy from a CD. I have a 3 year old Toshiba that boots just fine from the same CD. I changed the boot order in the BIOS so it would try to boot from CD first, but it didn't help. When I restarted the computer, I could hear it reading from the CD, but it opened Windows. I am new to Linux and am not very knowledgeable about how it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you disable the UEFI option in the BIOS and switch to something else (LEGACY) ?
Do you have a "secure boot" option in the BIOS ?
You may also try puppy Fatdog64, it boot on standard systems, UEFI systems, and systems with Secure Boot enabled (Windows_8) : http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/

Probably the same method....
and then boot Puppy.
"""""""""
Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to
completely power off.
Power on and press F2 while the Toshiba logo is displayed
to enter the UEFI Setup Menu.
-Go to the Security tab and set the "Secure Boot" setting to "Disabled"
Go to the Advanced tab,
enter "System Configuration" and set the Boot Mode
to "CSM Boot."
-Press F10 to save and exit. "

Flash, I pressed the F2 key during power on which gave me the UETI setup menu. Then I clicked on the Security Tab and changed the "Secure Boot" to "Disabled". Next, I went to the "Advanced Tab" and entered "System Configuration" and set the "Boot Mode" to "CSM Boot". Then I exited the setup menu and Puppy booted just fine.
The only problem is that if I want to work in Windows, I have to go through the same procedure and change the settings back to what they were originally.
I still haven't been able to connect to the internet. I'm still trying, but I may need advice on that later.
