The message you receive indicates imminent hard drive failure. There are has a few tools out there like Hard Drive re-Builder who allegedly fix otherwise unrecoverable disk sectors. However, these are not freeware, which means you would have to pay for the tool. At the time when you did that you could buy a new hard drive.

In addition, according to my research your laptop is quite old. Pentium III is very outdated. My advice to you is to get your data on the hard disk immediately regardless of whether you intend to repair the computer laptop or not. I would use the laptop as possible to extend the period of time for you to get your data. I was then looking in a new computer.

    Hello

    I doubt that you can get 64-bit drivers for Windows XP for this laptop from the Toshiba driver page.
    I didn t find drivers for Windows XP 64 bits for Toshiba laptops.
    Why? I think the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular like Win XP 32 bit and most of the applications have been designed for XP 32 bit OS.

    If install you XP 64-bit on this computer, you will have to look in the various 3rd party Web sites for the compatible drivers

    Good luck

  • X satellite L40-12: need of Modem driver for Windows XP Home edition

    I need downgrading to Windows XP Home edition to my new Satellite L40 - 12 X. For now, Toshiba does not provide driver Windows XP Home edition for my laptop, exept for Atheros Wi - Fi.

    So I found the drivers for each device directly from the only supplier site except for the modem of Toshiba. Vista driver does not work and the list of devices in its .inf file tells that the chipset is Agere.

    On the site of agere, I have not found what I need... anyone can help me?
    Thank you

    Massimo

    I had the same problem on my L40 - 13G. Before installing drivers, you must download and install patch KB888111 and KB835221 for Windows XP. And try to install the XP of satellite L30 drivers (if you have modem with toshiba chipset) or L100 (if you have chipset connexant).
    P.S. sorry but my English is not good - but I hope you understand me :-)

  • updates for windows 7 Home Edition problems

    I have a HP Pavilion computer processor AMD Sempron 140 2.70 GHZ, 3.00 GB, usable 2.75 GB installed memory. Type of system 64-bit operating system. Windows 7 Home Edition, service pack 1.

    My problem began two months ago, every time that microsoft windows does an automatic update, and then restarts, my screen goes gray and I have to close it using the power button. After doing that it would hire up to my regular office, yesterday it downloaded and got the gray screen, tried to make a closed hard but when he started to log on again it wouldn't start. I had to log on in safe mode with internet connection. They suggested to do a restore, I did that 3 times, still would not start upward using normal startup. He then began using the repair tool on its own and after 45 minutes, I was able to log on and come back to my office. Now I have disabled the automatic update of windows and am afraid to install updates at all. Y at - it something I can do what I can to keep updated on my updates.

    Thanks for your help,

    Hello Jackie,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.

    According to the description, I see that after the automatic updates of Windows you computer gives the gray screen.

    To better assist you, please answer these questions:

    1. do you get an error message?

    2. What is the item number of kb of the update you have installed?

    I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem:

    Method 1: run the clean boot:

    Perform a clean boot to determine if any 3rd party service is causing the issue:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After performing the steps to clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to Normal startup mode.

     

    Method 2:

    Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Note: Try to install the updates after these two methods, restart the computer and verify if you are able to install the updates.
