Usb device not recognized

You might want to try connecting a USB memory stick / thumbdrive formatted differently than is current. Some choices are FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, exFAT and others still. Your computer may recognize several of these - but car manufacturers usually aren't quite as up to date as computer / software companies.

If you're using an unsupported format on a thumbdrive - it may not recognize it. If you're using the USB for a different device (tablet, cellphone, charger, etc.) check to see if the connected device reports power present - if not - no amount of trying with various formats will get it to work. You'll need to address the lack of power at the USB first. Check your owner manual for the location of the fuse(s) that provide power to the USB ports.

.- what kind of toshiba you have?
Normally, if you have a bootable USB stick (and your BIOS recognize this kind of device) insert it and give it a try.
Or, insert a bootable CD/DVD into your CD/DVD tray and boot.
Once the operating system was booted from any of those devices, proceed with installation of the operating system on your HDD. Good Luck!

Thanks for using Fixya

similar story trying to fix friend's 5420. She had trashed Vista and lost any&all original discs. Well, who needs vista anyway...it's not one of M$'s better efforts. TRY THIS, download LinuxMint from a reliable source, burn a "live CD". put into drive, boot machine, during boot press "Alt"+"F12", select CD to boot from. See how it feels. Wait couple minutes for boot to finish then manually click on tiny icon next to network icon to load wireless driver, (don't ask...), on bottom right of screen. Learn some new stuff, toss some windows. enjoy.

This just means it is trying to recognize the device. All you need to do is allow it to recogniz the device and find the proper drivers. You can put files in here by going into my computer and double clicking the mass storage device. Files can be draged or copied in here, then taken anywhere you need to go.

I get a popup stating Unidentified USB Device and asks for name of the device.
