Cannot install vista - blue stripes

Hello I got a problem with my old vista, a few days ago, that it crashed with blue stripes everywhere. I think that hardrive may have been overheated and died... not sure. In any case, it is my problem and what I did about this.

Vista starts with blue stripes on the screen shows the logo with the loading bar it goes black for 10 sec and then it crashes. I started by reinstaling the OS from the hard disk, which could be unwise. Because when I restart the installation does not start before it crashes again. I tried to run the install in safe mode, but it cannot install in safe mode either. Then I tried to start that installation of vista from a cd still does not... in safe mode or in normal mode. I'm not sure what to do, is there something I can do or is it time to buy a new computer?

And if I do, he's smart get a new computer now? Maybe there are some new super computers beyond the next corner?

  • Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

    Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

    I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

    I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

    I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
    I go past the first steps and choose Install.
    I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

    Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

    I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

    Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

    Hello

    It is very easy to solve this problem.
    If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

    Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

    You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
    As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

    Hope I could give some useful advice.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB0E - cannot install Vista and Win XP

    Hello

    I have a L300, model number PSLB0E sat. \
    It was originally loaded with vista home premium, but it starts now not at all.
    I made a disc of vista Home premium and the number to go with it, but it gets as far as "windows installation" but then it stops.

    I tried to new hard drive, same loading XP pro not working!
    I think it's Bios, but after the download from Toshiba on this PC and transfer it to a memory stick, my laptop can't see it?

    Please can someone point me in the right direction?

    A big thank you in advance Paul

    Hi mate

    Please check in the BIOS if the disc is visible.
    If so, then set compatible SATA to AHCI mode and then try to boot from the Vista or Win XP disc.

    But if the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and so you cannot install the operating system.

    Check it!

  • Cannot install vista updated or the updates of the application.

    I can't install all updates for vista and some applications. I was not able to install updates for about a year and I'm behind about 50 of them!  Here's what happens: I can select a (generally smaller) update download it and at what stage him "create restore point" appears nothing DON'T is PAST!  After 15 to 20 minutes, I'll try to close and the blue/green screen informs you that installing update 1 of 1.  The system hangs in this State for hours - if I leave - and usually pull the plug.  I disabled Norton antivirus, before and get the same result!  It's nerve racking.  Oh yes, I can't remove programs either!  I WAS able to install SP2.

    Hi Bill,

    No. , the "discussions" over attempts to solve the problem and I was excited about some of the suggestions of Ryan t...  The problem persists and I designed a word document to post on the site of s 'Windows BBS"asking for their HELP.   If I can get a consensus, this is what I intend to do.  The D partition on my machine is a picture of the machine "birth" @ gateway about 2.5 years ago.  Once I trust that I have my data backed up and all the DVD application on-site I'll reformat the C with D, operation of the gateway info.  Once I did this, I intend to install Win 7 and put Vista out of its misery!  I intend to install the 64 bit version of 7 and use the C partition for the operating system.  I understand that this is possible and should reduce to naught the tedious task of reinstalling the applications and data if a cleaning are always required again!

    Also, I have a second physical hard disk with partitions E F & containing my temp folder, data and photos.  As side note, I paid MSFT $60 a year ago, and their conclusion was re - install Vista - or punt if all else fails.   NOT THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR!

    Don't know when I will be able to jump through all these hoops and obstacles, but will post my 'experience' here!

    Thank you for your question and now know I'm NOT the only victim.    OH YES, have you TRIED SUGGESTIONS of RYAN T? THEY CAN WORK FOR YOU!

  • Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

    Hello

    I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

    When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

    I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

    The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

    This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

    This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

    This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

    I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

    Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

    Anyone here with a solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

    Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

  • Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

    When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

    Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

    I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

    I really need that data, please help!

    Hello!

    I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

    However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
    These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G50 - 10J - cannot install Vista Ultimate again

    Hello

    I just bought a G50 - 10J with Vista Home Premium (German) installed. I tried to install Vista Ultimate Edition (in English) and formatted the C: drive (where vista was preinstalled); When installing, it freezes at the part "Complete Installation" and after waiting an hour, black screen appears and nothing changes (I tried 3 times and still had the same problem).

    Also unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD.
    Could someone please help me load Vista again?

    New portable Toshiba does not come with recovery DVD media and the recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. This means that the laptop owner must create recovery media only.
    Toshiba has designed a little reminder of recovery Toshiba.

    If you skipped it didn't create recovery DVDs before using the Microsoft DVD facilities you have a problem now. All you can do is to order a new copy. You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Cannot install Vista on Qosmio G-series

    Hello

    I can't install Vista, first of all, he says that I can not updated the Media Center to XP to vista professional.

    And drivers RAID Toshiba that I downloaded from the download & support homepage here, do not work.

    What is the problem?

    Hello

    I also recommend the Vista installed on the formatted HARD disk or on the new partition.
    The RAID driver should certainly work. On the Toshiba page, you will find a version of Vista. Simply download and install from external USB FDD or USB.
    Vista will recognize the USB with no problems. On my laptop, it works fine.

  • Cannot install Vista

    I'm trying to fix the computer from a friend who crashed. She had installed XP but got a virus or something and the computer crashed. She asked me to install Vista instead of XP this time and got a copy. When I try to install the new OS, boot from the CD, I get a black screen that says that it is impossible to read the disc. Is it because I am trying to install a different version? Could I hurt something else?

    First, go to the site of the manufacturer of your computer, and check to see if your model computer has Vista drivers available for him...

    If it isn't, I'd forget the idea of installing Vista.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
