Toshiba Satellite won't boot Stick or DVD for Win installation
I've bought myself a new SSD for my secondary laptop, due to a corrupted HDD.
After installing the SSD I've tried my bootable Windows 10 USB Stick I always use but nothing happened. He discovers the Stick but the laptop is never able to boot it. I've tried 3 different USB Sticks and 4 different Windows Isos. Also I used also Rufus and the Windows media creation tool.
My BIOS Settings don't show the Option for "secure boot" or a switch between UEFI and LEGACY. They just don't exist and even setting a Supervisor password didn't change anything. (Also I'm not able to update the BIOS due to a missing battery)
The really strange part is, that he also doesn't recognize any Windows 10 DVD. I could give that machine whatever I want and he wont boot anything.
Also no Linux live Distribution of any kind has worked yet.
I've made a windows 10 installation on the same Laptop on the old HDD not more then 4 Weeks ago. Everything worked fine then.
So does anybody got an idea how I can install Windows on this Laptop?
Its a Toshiba Satellite A660-11M.

What's the boot device priority? Maybe it's using the hard drive first, ignoring everything else. Is there a one-time boot menu (from pressing some button when booting)?

Your model is not supported on all Toshiba websites.
I have managed to find it on
Toshiba Ireland,
where I found a
BIOS update
from February 2012. Check if this is newer than yours before installing.
A possible explanation for your being unable to boot is that your computer
needs a UEFI boot USB/DVD.
You may use Rufus for creating it,
and you may need Windows 64-bit ISO.
Note that you need to format the disk on the Toshiba with GPT partitioning
for using UEFI.

I've used Rufus (with the UEFI settings) and i also found the newest Bios version on the irish toshiba site. But this doesnt't change the fact, that i need a functional battery to start the Bios update.
