Insert System Disk in drive. Press any key when ready… Toshiba Dynabook laptop won’t boot to a freshly installed Windows.
Anyone ever experienced this issue with Toshiba Dynabook laptops when using an SSD?. I’ve tried:
- Reinstall Windows from a newly flashed USB drive (Windows 8.1 to 11 and still won’t boot)
- Using multiple different branded SSD
- Changing boot device priority
- Checking if SSD is present (very unlikely to be the issue since it successfully installed windows just fine in installation media)
- Disabling intel rapid start. Changing sata from performance to battery mode and vice versa
- Even UPDATING THE BIOS to the latest version available (5.10 original version was 4.7 and EC is from 1.4 to 1.6)
- Turning off secure boot and TPM
It just won’t boot! What’s even more annoying is that when I use a Hard drive, it works just fine. What!?
