Essentially, you do not see a USB option after hitting F12 on the laptop to get the boot options screen.
From Toshiba:
Attach the Bootable USB Memory Stick and Enter the BIOS Menu (2 ways to enter the BIOS Menu)From Toshiba's site: How to boot from a bootable USB memory stick on a Satellite P100.
1. Press and hold F2 immediately after powering on the unit
2. From the Boot Menu highlight "" and press Enter.
- Use the side arrows to select the "Boot" section.
- Expand the HDD title
- Select the "USB Drive" (name may vary) and move it to the top (F5 and F6 Key)
- Exit Saving Changes
Keep in mind that other models may also require this methodology.

Great pice of advise. Many thanks. I have had the P100-208 for nearly 8 years and hadnt found that one. CD drive died recently so I can upgrade from XP media centre that it came with to win7 now after all via bootable USB!
