Equium L40 - Vista won't start after installation of product recovery

Hello

I had to realize a product uses recovery provided restore disk on an Equium L40 computer laptop (PLS41). The recovery procedure done his job to the end, reformats and copy all the files and then restarts. Now the problem starts...
The pc gets in front of the BIOS boot screen, then it goes completely black with only a cursor to underscore flashing in the upper corner of the screen. No HARD or CD-rom drive activity.

I did the cover about ten times now. All with the same result. I tried the repair procedure using a Vista boot CD and I also tried using another disk supplied with the computer, anytime upgrade from Vista. Here they are without defects, see the hard drive and shows that the vista files are on it, also sees the winRE partition.

I tired even fresh install from the disc at any time. It also reformats the disk, copies and decompresses all files needed, begins to install the updates on the disk and then said: he needs to restart. It restarts and goes to black screen with flashing underscore cursor. What happens if I press the 'coup of any key to boot from CD' or leave it to boot from the HARD drive.

I tried to fix this for two days now, including endless hours of forum to research, the computer belongs to my friend gets very angry I am. I need help. No one knows how to fix?

Hello

According to your message, I think that the HARD drive is faulty.
I think there's a defective recording of MBR (MBR) of the drive and therefore the laptop refuses to boot.

One question; have you tried to set the BIOS default settings? If this is not the case, try this.

If it doesn t help and the laptop still does not start upward, then you should ask ASP for verification.
I think it s a problem of HARD disk and, possibly, the HARD drive must be replaced!

Greetings

  • Windows Vista won't start after installation of microsoft updates

    I just install microsoft updates, then the computer is turned off and it does not load windows.  A box appears that says
    Microsoft Visual C ++ Runtime Library.
    This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way.  For more information, contact the application support team.

    The options are to click OK or close the box.  I tried both and it just keeps popping up the same box as above.

    Hi Mas_007,

    Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

    I have a few here that might solve the problem.

    A.) Firstly, I suggest that you start the computer in safe mode and check if you are able to boot without any problems, safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not run in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed that, follow these steps to start the computer in safe mode with networking:

    To restart the computer using safe mode, restart the computer and press the F8 key for about four to five times. Appears in safe mode listed in the advanced options of Windows. Select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.

    (B) I suggest that you perform a clean boot on your computer, to help troubleshoot error messages and other issues; You can start Windows Vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    The following link has steps showing how to perform the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    (1) perform the clean boot (check the link to perform the clean boot)

    (2) enable half the services

    (3) determine whether the problem returns

    (4) enable half of the startup items

    (5) determine if the problem returns

    (6) repeat the steps above until you find out which program or service is causing the issue

    After you determine the startup item or the service that is causing the problem, contact the manufacturer of the program to determine if the problem can be solved. Or, run the System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box of the element of the problem.

    Note: Please make sure that the computer is configured to start as usual by following step 7 of article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    (C.) I suggest that you perform a scan of the file system [SFC] checker on the computer, the scan replaces the failed system of files with the original files from version of Windows on the computer system, follow the steps below to perform a scan:

    I suggest to empty the temp folder and later, follow these steps:

    i. Click Start > type % temp % in the start search box > press on enter > delete everything present in the temp folder.

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.

    2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

    3. at the command calls, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  • Equium L40 - Windows won't start, message on screen

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Equium L40 - 17M.
    Recently when update my antivirus, my computer tried to restart but now does not load correctly.
    Now whenever I try to turn on the computer, after the initial configuration screen Toshiba I'm greeted by the following message is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

    Playing a disc error has occurred
    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.

    However, this message seems right once again!
    Suggestions please!

    It could be a problem of file system corruption, in which case you can connect the HARD drive to another PC and run CHKDSK on the drive.

    If no help, then check the bad sectors HARD disk using the Test advanced in Hitachi DFT (Google is your friend)

    Or you can try to run your recovery discs recovery. This reformatted HARD drive, so you will need your first of all if the data backup sound still there (you can use a USB 2.5 "HDD adapter).

    If you really need your data back, there are data recovery programs, you can download to search the HARD disk for lost files.

    After a format and reinstall my computer broken? He is 13 months here for out of warranty

    Hello

    Normally after the installation of recovery your laptop should work fine again.

    In my opinion, it could be a malfunction of the equipment. Did you test the HARD drive for bad sectors? You can do this with Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the ISO image and burn it to a disk. Then you can boot from it and test your HARD drive for errors.

    I also recommend to check the RAM for errors: http://memtest86.com/
    Memtest is a good diagnostic tool for the RAM.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Vista won't start after the last update of Silverlight - restarts constantly

    I installed the latest version of Silverlight from Microsoft Update, July 21.  There are 2 updates, but the other would not move.  My computer worked nomally and later when I stopped it, I got the "Configuring updates... do not turn off your computer" message.  It seemed to take a while, so I went to bed and the next morning, I saw that the computer had finally stopped.  I started it and I got the message "configuration updates stage 3 of 3." 0% complete.  Do not turn off your computer. "After anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes, it restarts.  She's constantly - he keeps just reboot and it displays the updates configuration message.  In the System Recovery Options, Startup Repair indicates that everything is OK.  "System Restore" to go to the restore point previous does not work.  What can I do?  The only other option and restore utility is all erase and install the drive from the factory.

    I have Windows Vista, the latest service pack and updates.  I have F-Secure anti virus/firewall.

    He has also failed to the previous Microsoft Update a week or 2 but it gave an error code of that time.  I looked at the error to Microsoft code and it says that the update log was full and there was a command to enter to remedy.  I did that and installed the update and everything was fine.  Unfortuately I have more error code or order more.

    Perhaps related to this problem?  My computer is pretty much dead now after Silverlight updated because it constantly restarts.

    Don't boot from the XP CD.

    Do an ERD of VistaBootable of the info below:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    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.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Hello!

    That's why you used the recovery from another laptop disk and it won't work.
    I think you need the recovery disk for Equium A200 laptop.

    I n t have experience with Symantec recovery function but I can allows you to use a recovery disk Toshiba prefer. This contains all of the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can make sure that everything works after that.

    If your laptop comes with a recovery disk, contact the nearest ASP and request a new one.
    If your laptop with a recovery disk is not delivered, you can directly order a new a form Toshiba:

  • Re: Vista will not start after the installation of update

    About 2 days ago I updated 2 Optional updates through windows update. It was - Input - Synaptics Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad
    and somethind to do with sound hdmi (don't know why I got this update ' cos I do not have a hdmi and I accidentally installed it as well).
    After that installs Vista won't start so I did a restore of the system in safe mode, and she came back to life, however, isn't in better shape, will probably not not to install Vista all over again.
    So be careful when you install these updates.

    It's weird that they came with windows update. As much I know usually windows update does not update if not needed harddrivers...

    You need to update your hardware drivers from the Drivers Toshiba download site and not from Windows update because no one knows if they interfere with the drivers of Toshiba.

  • [Solved] pc with xp home edition as the operating system does not start after installation of SP2 via automatic updates

    Hello everyone. After formatting my hard drive I reinstalled windows xp edition sp1 family and then installed the latest version of windows update agent. I have the auto update set to download the updates automatically and notify me when they are ready to be installed. Initially, he found 3 updates that I installed and rebooted. He concluded 58 updates. Again, I've installed and restarted. After that, we found ServicePack 2, I installed as well. But after the reboot, the pc does not start. What I get is the windows xp logo which discoloures after a few seconds and I don't see a bar moving from left to right. I left it like that for 3 hours, but nothing has changed. Also, it does not start in safe mode. I get a screen with red and green vertical lines in this case. Anyone know what's the problem? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    I was finally able to solve this problem. That's what I did. I reinstalled windows xp home and followed the same path (but his definition of the automatic updates notify me before downloading or installing updates) until the automatic updates found in the new service pack 2. This time that I did not choose to download it. Instead I downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28 and then started in safe mode and installed. I don't know one that makes the difference but service pack 2 has been successfully installed this time and tha pc was able to start after installation. Before that, I also downloaded and installed the latest versions of 2 drivers through drivermax. I mention this in the case where he has also made a difference. After the service pack 2 installation and restart, automatic updates will be found a few others brought up-to-date, but after installation and reboot, it found no others. I had to visit update windows Internet explore and search for updates it and managed to find other updates and finally SP3.

  • Vista will not start after start or restart.

    Since last week, when I first start the computer, change user or log out or reboot, Vista does not start after the log in password stage (after accepting the password). I usually have to restart the computer twice so he could finally enter the Office of habit and I can work as usual.

    I tried to let the computer some time at this point to work through and start normally, but it does not work and I have to restart.

    I recently updated my anti-virus (BitDefender) for the 2010 edition.

    I don't know if is the recent update to Vista which is originally or not.

    Uninstall Bit Defender and see if that fixes things. Antivirus programs use low-level drivers which can sometimes cause problems. If the uninstallation of Bit Defender work, use a different antivirus. I recommend ESET NOD32 (commercial) or Avast free. If Bit Defender Uninstalling does not help, then you may experience hardware problems. Failing power supply or hard drive that often produces symptoms such as you describe.

  • Windows Vista no longer starts after re-installation (cursor black screen, white after installation)

    A few days ago I decided that I wanted to start my Dell Inspiron 1720, back to square one. I knew that there are a few options, so I tried to restore. I realized it let me only a month back in time and my computer was slow for about a year now. I looked through my manual that came with my laptop and decided to unstack reinstall drive in and all re - install Windows Vista. I realized after I put the disk in and from the installation, I forgot to disable my anti-virus (trend pro microphone). I don't know if this is causing the problem, but after the installation, I get a black screen with a white cursor. I let it sit for about 4 hours before I decided to restart my laptop. Once I rebooted, it wouldn't let me normally, start in safe mode, or start from the last successful boot. I then tried to fix with my Vista DVD and who do not have too much work. I also tried the restore and it tells me that I am running in a low state of diagnosis and it cannot be done. I tried to reinstall vista twice since then and I'm out of ideas. Help, please! I forgot to add, when I try to start in safe mode, it stops at the ckcdisk.sys (I think it's called).

    millsx89,

    When you install Windows Vista on the 1720 Insp, you need to install the SATA drivers during installation. That's why your system stops at this point. You can also boot into the bios by pressing F2 and changing the Sata in ATA instead of AHCI operation. And then install windows. You will need to change it back once you have installed windows and loaded the drivers.

    Thank you

  • Satellite P200 - 17 c - Vista won't start up - how replace/repair boot.ini

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba P200 - 17 c of the vista computer and it won't start, freezes on the splash screen. I have
    used iso image to boot from and ran repair disk, makes no difference.
    Machine will not get beyond microsoft loading page (with yellowish scroll bar).

    My question is: How can I replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.

    I have not (my fault) create a back up or restore disk.
    After booting the machine from cd, system repair running and try to run the system restore doesn't work...

    Can anyone advise on a way to replace/repair boot.ini or turn off the drivers?

    Try to avoid to pay another £30 pounds for a recovery disc that I already paid for the licensed software, don't know why.
    If you pay because you do not get a copy of Vista with machine...

    Anyway any help would be most appreciated.

    Hello

    > How to replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.
    I doubt that this could be done under Vista cannot modify the boot.ini as on Win XP OS.
    To edit the boot.ini file you must use the BCDEDIT command.
    However, I put t think it would start the Vista correctly.

    In my opinion you have two options;
    You can use the safe mode and might attempt to start the Vista slim or you have to reinstall the entire operating system yet.
    But I doubt you'll be able to start in safe mode if the system repair and system restore didn't work too.

    So in my opinion the last real solution could be the new facility.
