Failed to start on Satellite L350

Without any problems before my laptop did not start today with the following screen message: -.

"Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

# Insert your Windows installation disc, and then restart your computer.
# Choose your language settings, and then click "next".
# Click "Repair your computer."
If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

Status: 0xc000000f

Info: an error occurred trying to read the boot configuration data. »

I don't think I got an installation with the computer disc, so should inquire as to whether it is something that can be downloaded or if there is anything which can be tried before returning the unit to the retailer

Hello

All new laptops Toshiba, including your Satellite L350, are delivered without Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs and this media facilities should be created by the owner of the laptop with the help of 'Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator'. This is small application designed by Toshiba and already pre-installed on the laptop with the factory settings.

This recovery image can not be downloaded.

If you didn t create this disc of relocations and now cannot start your laptop properly.
What you can try is to install the OS using Toshiba Recovery option.
Step by step guide that you find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

Please install OS using this guideline. If everything works well, once again please create recovery DVDs. I recommend you to use DVD-R virgins.

  • Re: Failed to start with Satellite L300

    Hello
    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L300 Windows Vista,
    I recently had my browser (Google Chrome) freeze so that the page that I was on was using Java.
    I went to reset, but once Vista began to start it would not go beyond the loading bar.
    Then, I went to boot from a drive to install Vista and met the same problem.

    I tried to start with the controller Mode SATA changed compatibility.
    This allowed the Vista disc load up successfully but did not allow for options but command prompt and from the Startup Repair.
    I ran Startup Repair twice and that Vista would load to the top of the loading bar then reset and loop this model.
    I don't know where to go from here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Perhaps, your laptop is infected with the virus, and you cannot load windows. You can search and find a software like Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0.0.506 Emergency Bootable CD and search for viruses. I wonder why you could not start Vista drive in AHCI Sata Controller Mode, I know the sata drivers are already integrated into Vista.

    Run "bootsect/nt60 ALL" into the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Wait and eject the Vista disc, reboot. Hope, it helps to have you tried to install from hard drive recovery image?

  • Start on Satellite L350-277

    When I turn on my laptop it gets as much as screen Toshiba innovation with options to enter F2 or F12, and then the screen goes black with a cursor in the upper right. After a few seconds the cursor disappears and the screen remains black and goes no further. I can't get into the BIOS. If I boot with a recovery in the CD player disc I can come back in the laptop and windows, etc., and it works fine. Controls can't find anything. As soon as I restart the laptop, I'm at square one. I tried to replace the hard drive and also reloaded using the Toshiba HARD drive recovery option, but I'm at a loss to know what else to try.

    Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I'm looking to have to buy a new laptop and they just don't make these nice big ones screen now.

    Thank you very much.

    Please excuse that the thread should read that the cursor is on the upper left corner, not the upper right one.

  • Satellite L350 - does not start after the BIOS update

    Hello

    I recently (yesterday) downloaded the latest version of bios update dated dated 25/02/10 2: 20 - WIN, after download and does run the software from the laptop immediately stopped working and stop. I am now no longer able to boot up the laptop at all, all I get is the power light on and the hard disk light flashes, I hear the spinning CD/DVD drive, but what is not screen anything, I don't think this is the start.

    Is there a way to fix this without taking it to a store/engineer, BIOS recovery?

    The laptop is a Satellite L350, I opened the laptop to try to reset the CMOS by removing the card mother battery (not sure if it would have helped), but as much as I know it doesn't have an or I'm not.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Andy

    Hi Andy,.

    Hmm... If the BIOS update failed, you can't do anything because only an authorized service provider has professional diagnostic and recovery tools to redo an update.

    So in my opinion, you must contact a service provider authorized in your country. Get in touch with the guy and ask for help. They will tell you what to do now.

    Here is their list:

  • Satellite L350-14F - Vista cannot start the Realtek RTL8101e WLAN

    Dear readers

    I'm Dutch, if my English is not very good, so my apologies for that but I have a big problem.

    My Toshiba Satellite L350-14F with Realtek RTL8101E family PCI-E fast ethernet NIC (NDIC6.0 with Vista OS) cannot establish a connection with the outside world...
    I tried many drivers, but all do not work... I can't find any other driver. So I guess there must be something else on the computer...

    I reinstalled my computer while going to format all my hard drive and I have no CD of drivers for the laptop.
    When I got a _wired_ connection, Vista can try solve the problem itself. He found a driver and then I am redirected to a site of toshiba... Where to download a driver from East. I start the download and installation, but then the installation says that I don't have a correct serial number...

    All this me freaks out there... who can help me please?

    Greetings
    Roy

    PS: I checked my BIOS for strange things and one thing caught my attention on
    I have an option: Wake On LAN anti-piracy. And it is disabled
    BUT I can't change it to activate.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what you mean without link with the outside world
    The wireless network card is recognized correctly in the device (without yellow exclamation points) Manager?
    The router is visible on your computer?

    First of all, you must make sure that you use the latest WLAN driver on Toshiba website:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online Download Driver

    Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest version of BIOS that you can find on the site of Toshiba, too.

    You should check the WLAN Setup on your laptop and the router. Make sure you that you have disabled Vista of WLAN power save function. You can find this option in Vista Power Management.
    Make sure that you use the same standard WLAN on your laptop as on the router, for example, 802. 11B or 802. 11 g.
    Last but not least you must update the firmware on your router. You can find it on the site of the factory. After the firmware update unplug the router for 5 minutes of the AC adapter.

    Good luck!

    PS: Wake on Wireless LAN has nothing to do with this issue. It of a feature that you can boot the laptop via a WLAN connection.

  • WiFi fails to connect when active Wep - Satellite L350

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L350. Day 1 purchase, free Wi - Fi was OK. Updates to operating system Vista Home Premium starts automatically and SP2 installed now. Now impossible to establish wireless connection WEP enabled on the router (3Com Office Connect ADSL Wireless 11g Firewall Router. Error message indicates the security settings of the network adapter (Atheros 5007EG) are incorrect.

    I have them repeatedly redefined and encryption of the router several times. Nothing works.
    The adapter can find my SSID of the network but will not connect. However if I turn off the WEP connection works.

    Cable connection to the router is working OK

    Driver for card is reported as more later.

    Can't think of anything else to do.
    Advice please.

    Hello

    It is certainly a problem of encryption
    You should check the configuration of your router again

    That means tat that you should try to change the type of encryption; try using WPA instead of WEP.
    This should be replaced on the router and WLan configuration settings
    Check if you can configure using the Atheros WLan WLan configuration tool
    But if you would do this, please don t forget to turn off internal Windows zero config.

    Hello

    Maybe it s disc HARD issue you may try to check if the HARD drive is recognized and listed in the BIOS. In order to access the BIOS, you will need to press F2, immediately after the laptop has been turned on.

    My Satellite L350 - 20G begins to start and 10 seconds after stopping powers.

    He also refused to load.

    We exchanged the batteries completely charged with the same model and the same problem.

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a hardware problem
    Have you checked the adapter? The power is ON?

    Possibly a defective power adapter could be the reason why the battery can not be charged and why the laptop stops during the startup process

    Otherwise, it could be an electrical problem of power supply on the motherboard
    That's possible too

  • How to start the installation of recovery on Satellite L350-170?

    Hello

    I'm new to this so please be gentle with me! -J' have a Toshiba Satellite L350-170 (Windows Vista SP2). I burned the recovery DVD 2 right after that I got back. I decided to get it back to factory settings, so I put the first recovery disc in the drive and... nothing. It will not automatically play/start to start the recovery process. I can access the files on the drive through "MY COMPUTER" but you can see a 'set-up '. I had already used the discs to recover and it worked then no problem.

    There is nothing wrong with the computer or the error messages

    Apologies if its been said before, but can someone help or I would like to know what is happening please?

    with deep gratitude

    Myke

    Hello Mike

    If it worked in the past that I n t see the reason why it shouldn't still works one time, except the discs are damaged.

    Anyway, try this:
    Start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu
    Insert disk 1 into the optical disc drive
    In the list, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER

    ODD must start to read the disc and you should see something on the screen.

    It works for you?

  • Satellite l350-262 HARD drive failed on the first reboot

    Hi guys,.

    I just bought new satellite L350-262 of amazon.co.uk
    It was delivered today so I started to put in place. It started fine, let me regional selection and networking options, and then it restarted and...
    I saw console message saying "a disk read error occurred...". "that indicates a failure of the HARD drive.

    I restarted and went into the BIOS settings and it appears on the first page of the BIOS that he does not see the drive (can recognize the DVD), but on the priority start screen TOSHIBA (and some) against the HARD drive.

    This problem occurred after the first reboot Windows 7 installation is forcing you to do, I didn't have the chance to create backups, and I can't see windows being installed at all, cause I can't do F8-> recovery which I thought to try as well.

    I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?

    Is it worth to make diagnosis of disk? Even if it says disk is ok, how I reinstall/install the system preloaded with no disk backup etc.?

    Thank you
    Greg

    > I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?
    I'm afraid, if the disk HARD is not recognized in the BIOS, that means HARD drive failure and you will not be able to recover it with the help and recovery disk or using recovery disc HARD m.
    It s really strange that a HARD drive is dead at first, but what looks like a bad luck, this can happen, because it s a machine

    Usually the HARD drive is under warranty as the entire notebook then you can request a hotfix and warranty would cover everything

    Hi Jan,

    I had the same question as my webcam didn't work and so I reinstalled the driver for the webcam that could solve my problem. You can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    But I recommend to remove the old version first. Then use CCleaner to clean the registry and then you can install the latest version on the Toshiba site.

    Toshiba laptop recording you can remove from Control Panel > Add/Remove programs.
