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.

  • 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!

  • Re: Equium L40 - Windows 7 and the wireless switch

    I upgraded my Equium L40 to Windows 7 and now, wireless equipment and F8 function switch switch the WLAN on and outside. It is permanently.

    Also, even if it is enabled in the Windows 7 power options, close the lid won't be thecomputer to sleep. If I close it turns off the screen but doen't make Windows 7 options.

    When I upgraded to Windows 7, I chose the option to do as a new installation and therefore lost my Vista installation.

    I have download all the drivers for Windows 7 on the Toshiba site, even if there were not many.

    Is there something else I need to do for the WLAN switch and cover works with Windows 7? Any help gratefully received.

    See you soon,.

    What L40 you exactly (L40 - xxx). I just want to check if your model of laptop is fully supported for Win7.

  • Palm Pre crazy symptoms: 'phone in offline mode', won't charge battery, won't start, message error "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved.

    This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You can search text to find your specific problem. There is no solution in my post. Looking for possible answers in future responses.

    I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone was working fine. Last night I plugged the phone and updated the operating system. After, I've selected "Done" and went to bed.

    -First set of questions: 'Phone offline', will not charge battery.

    In the upper left corner of the phone, there is the message "phone offline. Although the phone was in charge all night, it reads "battery of 26%. I called the general number of on the Sprint tech support and we tried the following things:

    (1) the phone reboots (press on and hold the power button / stop, then select 'Disable'. After setting down, hold down power button / power stop.)

    (2) to reset the phone (several ways - call tech support so that you do this properly)

    The individual Sprint and then sent me to another tech support person, likely to level 2.

    -Second series of questions: message error "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved;

    #2 Sprint tech support person had me also to restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In his own words 'we tried all the palm pre stuff I know' and whenever the phone was insensitive. Often, we received the message error "the phone is in offline mode. We did a full erase and after that the phone will not re-start is no longer. At this point, the error message came up saying "an error has occurred that cannot be resolved" that referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky with a translucent box on background with white text.

    #2 Sprint tech support person then me connected with the support of the Palm and the dance continued. Yet once, we tried a whole bunch of reset and restart and the erasure of the options. Palm support asked me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. Although that was the case he had hold the button "volume +" and connect the phone to the charger. This caused a USB symbol will appear on the phone. When the record was complete, I got an error message which could not run the file. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He me transferred to another person from Palm support that works with Mac users.

    Palm #2 tech support person advised me that I should have selected the download option 'mac' on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked him through the series of Web pages, telling him it is said that you need Windows (any version) or Mac (whatever version), but that at no time was there a possibility to download another WebOS doctor for different operating systems. After an exchange of views over she told me that she would have to have someone call back me tomorrow.

    -Third series of questions: phone stuck on the USB symbol.

    So for the moment, the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I started the mac on Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error message. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error message. Later this afternoon, I head into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.

    In the meantime, I got on this forum and found a thread that has provided a direct link to the necessary file:

    Palm.CDNetworks.net/Staging/ROM/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar

    After downloading this file, I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc work on my computer. It took that I recharge the phone before, and now it's on the screen that says 'do not disconnect your phone' and the full file of 3%. Only... it was completed for almost 30 minutes to 3%.

    I hope that Palm will follow-up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving on a business trip at 7:00 and I would love to have the thing work. All suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get her think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I want to get through security with my phone plugged into my laptop.

    Thank you.

    I picked up the phone at the local Sprint store and the sales ago replaced the phone. They were unable to understand what went wrong and, essentially, has declared a complete failure of the unit. I'm sorry that I'm not able to offer better news, but I hope that this info is useful to you.

    Hello

    In my opinion modules RAM must be verified in the first place.
    Remove a module and test the laptop with each module in each slot.

    But the diagnostic procedure would be more difficult than if the laptop wouldn't start even check the bars of memory in this case, the problem could be related to any part of the motherboard, theoretically the problem could be related to faulty CPU, motherboard, etc.

    So in this case a laptop technicians aid would be necessary. :(

  • Satellite L40 - 14N won't start, if I install two 2 GB memory modules

    Computer won't start, if I install two modules of 2 gigabytes RAM, I can install vista 64 on this computer to overcome this problem, have updated bios.or is there anything else I can do.it also won't work if I put a 2 and a 1 GB of ram in.

    Any help would be apprecated

    mayala

    No, Vista 64 bit will not solve your problem. The fact is that this model of laptop only supports a maximum of 2 GB of Ram in total. For example, you can use one of your 2GB memory module.

    If you do so, laptop will start again.

  • Vista won't start! gray screen

    When I start my computer, windows error recovery comes with 2 optoins.
    Start the reboot system (recommended)
    Start windows normally.
    When I click on startup repair "windows loading files", and then black screen for a minute or 2, then a gray screen with message
    "system recovery options" the installed program cannot start. Click ok to turn off the computer...

    I put the boot to boot from the cd/dvd and using a recovery disk, "press any key to start from the cd/dvd.
    then "windows loading files" then it goes to a blue screen with some white thick vertical lines.
    After about 5 minutes or more, the "install windows" screen.
    I enter the language/time andcurrency/keyboard and click Next.
    then repair windows.
    "system recovery options" appears, but there is nothing in the box operating system for me to click to fix?
    "If you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load the drivers from your hard drive or click on the next button... what should I do to reslove this as im going nuts! Please help me.

    (I don't have a vista disc (pre installed on the laptop), I have the recovery disk is one that I downloaded on the net)

    "I would contact the manufacturer of the computer, if under warranty."

    I have alread advises you to contact the manufacturer, as the disc of startup repair does not; which you say Toshiba:

    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Read the background information:

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Good luck with Toshiba.

    See you soon.

    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:

  • Satellite A100: Windows won't start no-Unmountable Boot Volume

    My son has a Satellite A100 under Windows XP SP3. Windows is not going beyond the Windows logo screen and ends with a Unmoutable Boot Volume + message.

    After what has happened, the status of the disk in the BIOS password is + HDD password frozen +. Note that the HARD drive does not have a user defined password.

    What is happening here and how is it fixed?

    Can you start laptop in safe mode with F8?
    The HARD drive password is strange to me.

    In this situation what you can try is to start the repair console in the Windows XP installation disc and try to fix it. Problem is that Toshiba computers laptops come with recovery discs only.
    Try to get the installation of Microsoft WXP disc and try with this repair option.

  • Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

    Hello guys,.

    Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

    My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

    My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

    The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
    What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

    Thank you.
    Leonardos

    Hey Buddy,

    > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
    So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

    If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

    Good luck! :)
