• Tecra S10 - 123 and Linux Mandriva boot problem

  I have a Tecra S10 - 123 for two months and wanted to install Mandriva on it (I have no experience with Linux...). I burn the Image on Cd image .iso file and changed the bios settings to boot from the CD-ROM. It works without problem, but Mandriva stops to boot from the Live Cd once the kernel is loaded.

  What can I do?

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Satellite PRO C660 - 1LR Boot problem

  Had this laptop for a little less than 2 months, was in course of running really slow so I backed up my data and do a factory reset, during the reset of the machine restarts automatically several times. After about 6 reboots everything I got a black with a cursor screen (ctrl + alt + delete does not work), the cursor moves but nothing happens, I guess that something was wrong with the recovery so I id try again, only to find the menu F8 at boot is no longer list of computer repair. Ive tried to boot from a CD but when I press '0' and press F12 when prompted, nothing happens, I'll be just the screen windows mem test.

  Also, trying to get into the bios, I press F2 when prompted and the message very quickly becomes "HDD Recovery" then continues towards the screen of windows mem test.
  So im a bit stuck now, I tried to remove the power and battery all night, but that did not help either.

  Any suggestions how to get this working again?

  Hello

  You mean that you cannot access the BIOS?
  To access the BIOS, you will need to press F2, immediately after pressing the power button. You can press F2 repeatedly in the line to make sure it worked.

  > Ive tried to boot from a CD but when I press '0' and press F12 when prompted, nothing happens, I just go back to the screen of windows mem test.

  In order to boot from recovery disc, just press F12 (don t press the 0 key). This should allow the start on-screen menu. Then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source

  But this sounds like a hardware problem; I think memory or HARD drive problem so maybe that these two parts must be checked also.

  There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test that allows to test the HARD drive for errors

• Satellite L50D - Boot problems after replacing the hard drive

  I just upgraded my hard drive of the pathetic crod 5400 they provide to a SSHD@7200rpm, but now have a major issue.

  I initially image the operating system from the old hard drive to the new drive and have had chronic start-up problems (1-3-4 attempts to start to succeed if it fails at any time (often to the Toshiba start screen)).

  I reinstalled from a drive under Win 8.1 plain own ENT (trying to avoid the bloatware) and it is exactly the same number and is what I used to format the laptop very well with previously and had previously worked.

  I tried reformatting and reinstalling (by removing all partitions on each attempt) to the CSM, unsafe UEFI and UEFI secure. MCS is a straight line never works not proceed and both UEFI methods have the same exact result.

  I tried with original restore disks and it seems to work (not had time to fully test) but I don't want the bloatware and it shouldn't be serious since, if I were a customer who forgot to make restore disks (too often) and just have to have a failed hard drive or replaced sacrificed the laptop would be now a door stop.

  This seems as bad as Apple to lock people in.

  So I would appreciate ideas of people to please, I don't know if there is a program that is supposed to take place on a new drive as PS3 etc (I doubt it), but that leads me into the wall, and will be the last time that I consider Toshiba as anything other than a joke, if there is no solution.

  I had to replace the hard disks many times in my previous Toshiba laptops and were devoid of this crod, it has something to do with UEFI which seems more a nuisance than a help right now.

  TIA.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should first check if the startup problem is related to the new installed HARD drive or new installed system.
  You said that the laptop fails to start up often to the Toshiba start screen.

  The splash screen appears during the POST (power on self-test) procedure. During this test, the material will be checked.
  I m wondering if the hybrid SSD/HDD isn't recognised by the BIOS during this particular step.

  From my point of few, this could be the reason why the system cannot be started.

  Another important note:
  The 8.1 win requires enable start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode.
  Therefore, you must enable both options in the BIOS.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest BIOS version as latest firmware for the hybrid SSD/HDD

• 10.11.4 boot problems - black and white death

  Hi people, write here after a weekend of failed attempts to get my iMac 27 "2009 to recover.  I see there are many good suggestions out there on this general problem and I am hoping someone can give some specific advice, as I am now out of options.

  The problem started when I first noticed the screen was all black, but the cursor to move.  I think the problem started 20 or March 21 since the last backup Time Machine was to the 20th.  I had seen this occasionally over the years and so just turned off and restarted.  This time it got stuck on the white screen with the Apple logo and progress bar at halfway.  Finally reading the forum that I realized that I could actually blind the connection by pressing the right keys and hard drive noises I could say it was starting up my apps.  But the screen remains blank, just the cursor moved.  I even tried to remote into my Macbook but that just brought to the top of the black screen too!

  That's so the State of the rest across machine try the following:

  1. Tried to reinstall the OS 10.11.4, it installed OK, but on reboot I have come back to the white screen of death.
  2. Tried Time Machine backup recovery, twice, first go to the last point of restoration, then among a few days earlier which was 10.11.3
  3. Wiped my Bootcamp partition and installed 10.11.4, showed the first home screen, and then it would freeze.  I could access it from secure boot, but could never get the boot on a regular basis at work, the screen remains white death.
  4. Secure boot works on both partitions, but which is as far as I can get it.  Start, I tried the suggestion of delete some items in the Library/Extensions folder, but that did not help.
  5. I also tried to remove the power cable for a minute and restart.  And the thing with now the key Alt Cmd (?) and P and W to erase the memory.  But no help.
  6. I tried to run the diagnostics of material that came on the boot floppies, CD Rom drive would turn a few times, but would not read the disc for some reason any.

  I think that's it, maybe I tried a few other permutations, but it has been a long weekend, and it's all beginning to fade now.

  Since all the restorations did not work it feels like it may be a hardware problem, but it's so consistent in where it fails / stalls on startup and safe mode works OK, it always makes me think that it may be a software.  There is a flash on the right screen to where it crashes on the bar, progress which makes me wonder if this might be the card or display driver problem, but really guess right now.  One last thing that I might have to try is a full erase of all partitions and create a USB stick to boot from.  But I am quite doubtful that it works in light of all other alternatives, I tried.

  Additional ideas would be very appreciated, I know that I had the machine for a long time and many would say it is time to upgrade, but I'm not quire ready for this yet, it really worked great, just a little slow on the restart of the (who fortunately have been rare so far!)

• ProBook 4430 s Boot problems

  Hello

  I have a HP ProBook s 4430 running Windows 7.

  A couple of weeks, I got a blue screen crashes and it seemed to corrupt a part of windows as windows (among other programs) Explorer wouldn't start automatically. I had to start explorer.exe from the Task Manager after the connection. I have searched the forums and tried all the tips/patches, but to no avail.

  I decided to simply reformat the computer and get back to the basics. This is where things went from bad to worse.

  My HP did not come with a Windows CD or a backup CD, and I have not one when I bought it (I've traveled across India at the time). All forumns advised to use HP Recovery Manager or press F11 at startup to access the partition of the hard drive recovery. (D: in my case). My computer doesn't seem to have the Recovery Manager and F11 does nothing to start. Setup does not change how he arrived at the factory, it should always be there.

  Exacerbated, I changed my D: to 'active' to try to boot from the recovery disk... this stuffed all this. Unfortunately, now my computer does not start (it is said there is no OS on D.)

  Then... of ideas? Is my only hope of order recovery disks from HP? do some work? Is it possible to change my boot from D: drive to C: without Windows help? I can't find options like that in the HP Start menu I can access.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hi Samuel,.

  Here's another solution, that you can use to reinstall Windows 7.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be of the same exact version of Windows 7 that originally came with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  All pilots additional and the software you need is found from here.

• Still 2 - encryption boot problem

  I encrypted my still 2 8 "with the program called"Diskcryptor', only the C: partition, but not the 'copy of windows"(or something like that) partition.

  Normally on my desk there is a 'beep' then my motherboard/BIOS map screen, then it asks me the password, but the yet 2 he did not instead there just starts starting this toshiba and said that something is wrong. (of course software toshiba can't access the windows partition because it is not mounted)

  I have been troubleshooting after this long toshiba repair the thing, there are a lot of things that I try.
  I wanted to just plug in the usb to my pc when I installed the diskcryptor program and he should be able to be mounted as my flashdrives do, but my pc do not at all see the yet!
  (Plus possibly the reminder cannot use usb, maybe the usb driver is not loaded)

  There is also a cmd with I think should help me somehow, diskcryptor have some commands to decipher and that but it does not recognize the command.

  I also try to activate usb with cmd, but it does not work either.
  I think I must jump boot toshiba with this repair and what prevents me to enter the password.

  Help!

  Hello

  The 3rd tool third called Diskcryptor isn't known to me and I'm not quite sure how this tool would affect the start of partition encrypted C procedure but according to the site Web of the program, the tool supports the own bootloader and its necessary to insert a password (authentication pre-seed) in order to boot the OS from m.

  In all cases of doubt regarding the use of this software, I recommend you to check the description of the software and the recommendations of use available on the site for manufacturer of software.

  With regard to the Encore 2 USB functionality:
  The Encore 2 acts as a host through the micro-USB port. This means that the tablet can communicate with other devices s USB client as USB flash key, mouse or keyboard.

  To do this, you must use a cable adapter USB On-The-Go (OTG).

• Portege R100, PXE - boot problem - E61:Media Test failure, check cable

  My portege r100 4004GAH original hard drive has had some problems recently, so I decided to replace it with a bigger 4006GAH. Specifications, it seemed that it would be appropriate.

  So I tried to install standard windows top. Unfortunately as I soon discovered that didn't work and lead to BSOD. I looked online and remembered that I had in fact to use the recovery of three discs. Fortunately for me I still had the freshly sealed and I've also owned a combined remarkable Targus CD drive supported. If in the three discs are gone. All seemed well and after that the last drive ended, I was asked to remove the disc. The laptop has rebooted and then gave me the

  PXE - E61:Media Test failure, check cable
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
  Insert system disk
  Press a key to continue...

  I thought it might be in the order of start, but verified that and it seemed right. HD was first. I also changed the order and the same error came.
  I thought while another component of my laptop may be broken. So I put my old hard drive in. It started fine.
  The next thought that the new hard drive was defective.

  Fortunately, this is not the case. Because when I used the recovery disks not only heard disk hard turns to the top, but the hard drives were detected and recovery installation displays the correct memory size.

  I'm completely stumped on hat w what is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  It is not easy to say what the problem is but you said the Portege started fine with the old HDD. So I think that there is something wrong with the new.

  In your case I test the HARD drive with a special tool like Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  In addition I am interested in what you have the same problem with a Microsoft installation disc if you have one.
  So try if your HARD disk has no errors.

  Hi uygur,.

  at first I thought your problem your laptop want boot from LAN.

  Check the BIOS, could be formulated with pushing the ESC key when the Red TOSHIBA logo appears, enter on boot order (First Boot Device).

  I think that your PC is the first device to set startup to local network.

  Try this and keep me posted!

• Satellite Pro L850 - 1 KM-boot problem

  Hello

  I recently bought a toshiba laptop (model in the title), but it comes with Windows 8 (ewww) so I decided to format the hard drive (delete all hidden partitions too because I will create my own backup image later) that I did with success. However, the above was made using the tools provided by Toshiba (by pressing 0 at startup).

  Now, here's the problem. I had a Windows 7 disc which is bootable and changed the boot order in the bios so it starts from the CD, USB, network HARD drive. For some reason, the laptop does not recognize the media bootable (CD/USB) and instead comes up with a message "media!: [Fail]". " I even downloaded the ultimate Boot disk to see if that starts, but I get the same message.

  What I am doing wrong?

  PS: I do not have the recovery disks and now I am unable to access the disc utilities by pressing 0 at the start as I wiped the hard drive clean.

  I put t know what you're doing wrong.
  You use the original installation disk Microsoft (Win7)?

  Set the BIOS to the default settings, start Notepad and press F12 to get into the boot menu. When the menu is displayed on the screen put this Win7 disc into the optical disc drive, in the menu, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  What happens when you do this?

  By the way: you have created a recovery media until you killed the factory settings?

• Qosmio f10 - 137 boot problems with wireless

  I bought the above my local PC World yesterday. Was to restore the system myself (only the demo model is available, do not have the time to wait for them to restore, so I accepted and ended up with 100 pounds).

  Anyway, the problem-it hangs during startup, when it reaches the Windows desktop but no icons, menu start, task bar etc. If the communication wireless off switch is turned on, it boots correctly (it will even complete the boot if you stop after that it crashes).

  The wireless works fine once started.

  Thank you

  Hello

  What demo was available?
  As far as I know that the Toshiba come with a recovery CD. In this case, you must only retrieve the device with this CD. As Miro said that if you got this unit with the recovery CD, the operating system should work without any problems.
  In addition, you can try to update the wireless driver.

• Satellite C660D - Boot problems

  I had my Tosh for over a year now, so out of warranty, but should still work. Sometimes at the present time, the comp will freeze completely, which ensures a restart, but on re-booting, I get the familiar if please insert disc to start or select drive, the pxe rom error, check for errors of cables (something like that I don't remember the exact wording).

  After I left the computer off for the night, these problems seem to set and the computer starts normally. I first thought it would be a mistake to HD but which seems to work very well when it starts properly.

  Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

  > I get the familiar please insert disc to start or select drive, the pxe rom error, check cables errors

  The PXE error message appears because the laptop is trying to boot from LAN.
  Why the laptop switches to LAN automatically?

  In most cases, the laptop can not find the bootable HARD disk system and this means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning it would also be an explanation for the issue of the gel
