Hello,
I’m trying to reinstall Windows on a Toshiba Satellite C660-1UG but I can't boot from the USB key.
The problem is that I have no BIOS display at startup, so I'm unable to select the boot options.
I tried removing the BIOS battery located under the keyboard for a good hour or more, but there was no change.
Is it possible to reinstall the BIOS? Considering I can't boot from a USB key..

Configuration: Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3) / Chrome 26.0.1410.43

    Hi

    Have you tried pressing the F12 key during startup?

    See you soon

    Hi

    Press F2 to enter the SETUP. Then enter your password, and if there are 3 errors, it will turn off.

    Yes, F12 does absolutely nothing.
    In fact, at startup, I have a blinking white dash and then Windows directly..

      If Windows starts, it means your BIOS is working fine. It's about finding the access key.

      Try this, the g-tronic message:

      Thank you for your help! The "fast booting" option was enabled. I wasn't aware of this option, I disabled it and Windows is installing now.
