I think it will work on the Toshiba - if the Toshiba *can* boot from a 
USB, it ought to boot with this process. Most bootable USB creator 
programs use a significantly different process than the one outlined 
before, and I've seen this method work when others failed.

Also you don't have to use the Toshiba to make the USB - you should be 
able to do it on a faster laptop too if you want.
