• Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

  {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

  This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

  Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

  ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

  Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

  I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

  Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

  This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
  I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

  However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
  Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.

• Satellite 2400 - cannot restore startup disk

  I'm trying to restore my satellite 2400. I get an error msg

  "Toshiba Recovery and Applications."
  CD - ERROR: INSTALL. INI
  Section: 8
  Key: initialization
  Can not read the description file E:|COMPS\a24bdb38\text\desc.txt.

  a24bdb38 of the folder changes whenever I try to re - start the installation from the disc. There are 39 files in the folder "COMPS", all have a record of text in a document .txt in them. The desc.txt file is accessible and readable when I simply explore the cd and open it. All desc.txt files are descriptions of the applications or features on the computer, each of the 39 files different letter\number for a different application or a feature.

  any idea how I can do this job properly, simply want to restore the computer to factory settings.

  Thank you.

  Sorry to edit. more information.

  tried to restore in safe mode. Computer won't allow it. Had a msg of error there as well as saying something was missing to the point description of the computer and I need to get properly so that the cd works on the computer. Has never given an option of entry of the machine model that he then invited me that it could be done in safe mode.

  Thanks again.

  Hello

  Why are you trying to restore safe mode factory settings? As far as I know you have to start from the Toshiba drive to restore the factory settings. This is why boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Otherwise, you can try to install Windows from a disc of Microsoft. Maybe your recovery disc is noisy and t can be read correctly. After you install Windows on a Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers and tools on the Toshiba site. :)

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

  Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

  No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

  This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

  I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

  Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you.

  If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
  I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

  The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
  In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.

  However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
  In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
  Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
  To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

  I hope I could help you.

  * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

  It offers the possibility of:
  "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

  Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

  I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

  The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
  No problem at all.

  Hello

  Have you installed original recovery image that you created on the USB key?

  Please try to install it again. Usually after installation of the own image of recovery your laptop should boot correctly.

  By the way: have you noticed this problem right after the installation, or later after some updates to install.

  Have you tried to solve it using Windows start-up settings?

• Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

  I use Windows Vista

  There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

  but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

  I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

  so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

  any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

  I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

  Thank you very much!

  >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
  That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

  It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
  Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
  -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
  -you will not be able to start t

  In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
  > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
  Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

• Satellite T130 - cannot start the Toshiba HDD recovery

  Hi all, I have a problem with my Satellite T130. I have to start the drive HARD Toshiba recovery but the computer tell me that is not a valid drive HARD recovery on the PC. It's probably a fault of my father. Is there another way to start the recovery?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  How are you trying to start the HARD drive recovery process?

  The full HARD drive recovery procedure is described here, so please check this article:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  If it doesn't work your only option, you use the recovery media. Did you create this such as described in the user manual?

• Re: Satellite L310 - cannot start from the HARD disk

  Hello

  My L310 just died on me yesterday. My system just can not start, not even in Safe Mode. And it keeps trying to start using my network card, not through hard drive.

  I put the BIOS default settings, but it does not help.

  And she has this tone to loud continuous beep when it tries to start using the network card. A continuous beep, even on the screen of the BIOS and in safe mode.

  I chose the hard drive manually, but he keeps trying to start through the network adapter.

  And the laptop does not meet the keyboard. Even with a keyboard external usb. When I sometimes managed to boot my system on the rare occasion, I get to the login screen and cannot button my password.

  Does anyone have similar problems?

  Let me know. Thank you!

  Looks like your HARD drive is defective. BIOS recognize it?
  You should test the disk with Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

  Check this box and give us feedback. Maybe the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

  On the keyboard issue it is not easy to say what are the causes of the problem, but in the worst case that he should be replaced also. :(

• Satellite C650 cannot start Windows

  Hi and thanks for reading this post.

  I had a Satellite C650 laptop with Windows 7 and inside the h2o bios, works fine for about a year now. The problem, as this post came yesterday when I was using the laptop as usual. At one point, it seemed that the computer worked very hard (fan noise, could not click on anything) and it lasted about a minute or two until what I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, who don't do anything. 5 minutes later an error window pops up saying that CTRL + Atl + Del could not be run at this time. I could not click on anything whatsoever and a s Malwarebyte (anti-malware software) had opened, although I couldn't read what he says since I couldn't click on anything. I held the power until the computer closed and proceeded to restart.

  A window asking me if I wanted to start windows normally, I said yes, but after the Toshiba usual loading screen, nothing happened (blue screen dark without the usual windows start icon) I left it running for 15 minutes, but still nothing. He retried a couple of times off the computer with the power button (this time is not to ask me if I wanted to run windows normally) and still the same thing.

  For some strange reason, I can not start mode safe mode using f8 because f8 simply do nothing. Tried the f2 boot configuration, but nothing seems to be no relief at the moment.

  Thanks a lot if you can provide some tips on how to solve this problem.

  -Vincent

  Hello

  Pressing F2 should allow you to access the BIOS.
  The F2 key must be pressed immediately after that the laptop has been powered.
  It work? You can access the BIOS?

  If this is not possible, you can pass the hypothesis that this could be a hardware problem.
  In the worst cases that the motherboard may be affected or device connected to the motherboard as RAM.

  Solution? Good RAM could be verified using new modules, but if you have no spare parts available for this test, then I recommend to ask a technician for verification of material.

  Your warranty is valid? If so, don t waste time and get in touch with the service people.

  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.

• Satellite L650 - cannot start Office 2010 - icon changed

  I have a new Satellite L650.
  With the help of the Office 2010 icon, on the desktop, and my software code I installed the program.

  Now, I'm not and change desktop icon only says to use installed programs.
  Where is he? Not in the programs listed.

  Hi mate

  Office is a package that contains multiple simple apps like MS Word, Outlook, etc... so, you will not be able to start Office by clicking on the desktop icon.
  If you want to start MS Word for example, then you will need to choose this software.

  Usually, you may find that going to start-> all programs-> MS Office.

• Satellite U940 - cannot start or access the BIOS settings

  I try to help with a HARD on a U940 disk failure. The laptop still works a failure has been (almost certainly) the entire HARD disk.

  I have a new HARD drive in place but I'm unable to access BIOS, and the machine does not start of course. Just a black screen while the computer is trying to do something...

  • Then put the F2 on does not work
  • Then put the F12 on does not work
  • Then put the ESC on does not work
  • Out the battery did not work
  • Out the battery and the power cord and the discharge by pressing the power button / stop for 60 seconds, did not work.

  I can't get to the BIOS. In my view, that the machine was based on the Intel hybrid disc stuff using the DDI in RAID before and this quick book has been activated. Of course, I am unable to clean the machine to stop more since I can't start up with the old drive.

  What I really want to do, is to put everything back. Get rid of any RAID stuff and put Windows on the new HARD drive. Any ideas how I can get into the BIOS to move all of the RAID or FastBoot stuff?
