L50 satellite will not start up - request password HARD drive

Hello

I hope someone can help me

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 and when I start it, it says
+ no boot device please don't restart System.

It is still under warranty because it was purchased only 6 months ago.
I took it back where I bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.

I'm waiting on a reminder.
I hope that someone can help you. He also asked that the HARD drive password.

Where can I find this information?

Hi Kym

I guess the L50 Satellite cannot find the boot device (HARD drive), because the HARD drive was obtained with a drive password HARD and without this HARD isn't accessible disk password and the system does not start properly.

Did you set this password for HARD drive in the past?
I m request because this isn t password on new laptops. This HARD drive password can only be set by the owner of the laptop

Of my knowledge if you know n t this HARD drive password, you will not be able to access the HARD disk in such a case, the HARD drive would be useless, and the data would be lost

That's why I recommend you check if someone put the HARD drive on your laptop password where you n t know the password, you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system once more.

  • Re: Satellite L300 will not start and cannot restore HARD drive

    I have a L300 which stops just to start (after that the screen flash BIOS) with a single cursor flashing when I boot from the HARD disk. I can access the bios Setup and boot from the CD. I took the HARD drive connected to my external USB adapter on another PC and I can see partitions C and D and read the files correctly. I noticed that there is a directory called 'HDD recovery' on the D drive, but I don't have a recovery CD or another program to restore it.

    I found a boot of Vista recovery disc and it allows me to start a version of vista recovery but when I check the windows system can't find any errors. Also, if I choose the system restore then he says that he has no restore file.
    I suspect it's the disk HARD restore being Tosh files and Windows.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

    Hello world.

    I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
    I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

    I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
    The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

    THX, Philippe

    Hello

    This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
    You again is 40 GB.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

  • Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?

    Why my computer will not pick up my external hard drive?
    using Windows 7 sp1

    Original title: usb

    Hello Fred,.

    Windows 7 sometimes has trouble recognizing external drives connected to the USB ports. There are a number of possible corrections for this.

    1. make sure you that the USB port in question works with another device, that you know works. For example, take a mouse that you know doesn't work and plug it into the USB port is connected. The mouse still works? If Yes, go to #2.

    2 do a reset power coercive.

    1. Unplug the power cord. Then (on a laptop) remove the battery.
    2. Unplug all USB devices.
    3. Leave it alone - don't connect or reconnect the devices for several minutes.
    4. After several minutes plug the power supply cord.
    5. Then install the battery.
    6. Turn on the computer and restart as normal without plug any USB device.
    7. Connect your devices one at a time and let them install as usual.

    The external hard drive works now? If not, go to #3.

    3. I have and others have used an application of part 3, the freeware Aomei Partition Wizard, download here: http://download.cnet.com/AOMEI-Partition-Assistant-Standard-Edition/3000-18512_4-75118871.html?tag=mncol;1 (only use the Direct download link). Once installed, you need only browse the external drive and select it, then click Properties. That's all; simply choose the drive is enough to get the drive recognized by Windows 7, no formatting required.

    I would like to know if one of these methods works for you. After back here with your results.

    Kind regards

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Toshiba L50 - B
    Windows 8.1
    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • L50-A-19N satellite will not start in the BIOS

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop.
    I have installed 8.1 and fedora 20 windows.

    I was in fedora, when I decided to restart Windows.
    Instead of grub, I saw message with the error and my notebook has stopped booting.

    I pressed the power button / stop, he died but when Im trying to start it again, I see the logo of Toshiba Leading Innovation and that's it.

    It will not start any further.
    I decided to get my system, but when I press F2 or F12, nothing happens.
    I can't get into the BIOS!

    Please, help me to solve it.

    Somehow, this seems really strange
    I m wondering why you are unable to access the BIOS

    What you can try to do is, remove the laptop HARD drive and switch on and press F2.
    From my point of view of the rare even if the isn't HARD drive connected, you should be able to access the BIOS.

    But for Pierre, I'm not very well your laptop problem is related to the faulty / corrupt Boot partition m

    However, your comments would be greatly appreciated

  • L775-11N satellite will not start

    Hello

    I bought a L775 almost a year ago, but today it has stopped booting. It freezes at the screen of the BIOS (Toshiba logo).
    No HDD LED activity, but all the others are fine.

    I think that the HARD drive is defective, as I traded with my portable Linux and it works.

    However, (a Seagate Momentus XT ST95005620AS) HARD drive works on another computer and even on Linux with the Toshiba (on an external HARD drive enclosure). He has some bad sectors (INTELLIGENT default), but it works as it should.

    I tried to clean the CMOS memory, wipe the HARD drive (using GParted), but nothing.

    Any ideas?

    I think it fails because of the CHIP, as the BIOS will not start on this HARD drive because of the errors, but I'm not sure. I tried to update the BIOS (I think that I've upgraded to 1.90 but there is a 2.0 release), but looks like it is a Windows software only.

    Thanks for your replies

    EDIT: I can boot the disk when it is inside a USB enclosure.

    Hello

    I don t think that this question is related to the failure of HARD drive.
    Even if the HARD drive is faulty, the laptop must pass the POST (power self test) properly but it doesn t it freezes to the Toshiba start screen and this means that the POST has not been passed

    I think you should check the RAM. A faulty RAM can cause this kind of problem
    Otherwise, it could be a serious problem with the motherboard.

  • C satellite will not start - only toshiba logo appears

    My laptop is only 1 week and will not start.
    All I get is the toshiba logo and the screen becomes a pale bluish color.

    Any ideas?

    What is your laptop model?

    You are able to access the BIOS?
    Turn on the unit button and press F2 to enter the BIOS.
    The BIOS screen is visible?

    Another idea: the laptop turns on, press the F12 key.
    Usually, you should see a start menu. Here choose the last option called HARD drive recovery.
    This option allows you to recover the computer laptop back to factory settings.

  • My C50-A-1DV Satellite will not start

    Hello

    Yesterday my C50 Satellite would not start. When turned on, it shows the Toshiba logo and then the little circles just keep them.

    I booted into recovery mode and ran chkdsk, but there are no errors on the disc.

    When I restarted, then she says the following:

    Preparation auto repair
    Diagnose your PC
    Check disk for errors
    Auto repair attempt

    Then at the stge small circles just continue.

    I started in safe mode and activated the boot record.

    Attached is the NTBTLOG file

    Thank you very much

    BigD

    Turning off the laptop
    Then press the power button and immediately after that, press the F12 button
    Then you should see a screen similar to this one:

    Then I recommend you to choose the option to drive HARD recovery... The last option in this menu.
    This would start the HDD recovery procedure and would restore the laptop back to factory settings...

  • Dimension 8400 will not start up cd or dvd drive

    Hello

    I have a Dimension 8400 that refuses to boot from the CD or dvd drive. In the bios, tried to move 'Onboard or USB CD-ROM Drive' to the first position in the boot sequence. Also, I tried pressing "f12" during startup to access the start menu. I tried to select the "integrated or usb cd-rom" option from there with a cd bootable in both drives and still have had no success.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • iMac A1311 does not start, due to no HARD drive

    I have an iMac A1311 that has no HARD drive, so I have a disk HARD of Windows and OS X 10.6.1 discs. Can I use my PC to format the HARD drive and install OS X on the HDD using my PC? iMac will not start cuz no HARD drive

    Unfortunately, you can not. You will need to install a hard drive in the Mac - you cannot install or run Mac OS on a Windows machine (or anything other than Mac hardware).

    In addition, if this one is to end 2011, most likely cannot install 10.6.x as it came without doubt with 10.7 Lion (depending on when it was released or purchased). Mac can not boot from an OS older than what they came with. If it came with Lion, you can install a HDD and then use recovery to format and install the original above operating system (if you downloaded/purchased previously with your Apple ID).

  • computer does not start with attached external hard drive

    I have the 4540 s if an external hard drive is connected, it will not start.

    I have the internal hard drive set as master boot.

    The message that appears indicates Press esc, to enter the boot options, but which does nothing.

    I spent an hour with hp support-useless.

    I did a BIOS update - no help.

    All advice appreciated.

    Not sure what you mean about the reference of the warehouse.

    I've updated the USB ports and that solved the problem.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

    You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
    As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
    Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

    Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
    By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
    And then you could boot from the new CD.

    > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
    > can not load hard drive
    > Insert systemdisk and press a key

    This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.
