• Portege R100 does not start

  Can someone help me please. My Portege R100 does not start, when I turn the following text appears: in touch with tomorrow toshiba. After a few seconds a black screen with a blinking cursor on the left side of the screen.

  Thank you very much

  Hi Rehana,

  The Toshiba screen you will see first is the initial start screen is displayed while loading the BIOS. Once the BIOS has completed its process of loading, the system tries to boot the operating system and it is at this point that you have found the black screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left.

  Unfortunately, this indicates usually that the laptop can not load the operating system from the hard drive, or because the hard disk itself has not the contents have been damaged somehow.

  You might try to charge your laptop in 'safe' mode (press F8 during the initial loading of the BIOS) or you can try to boot your laptop from a bootable CD/DVD and hard drive.

  Finally, you can try to re - install your OS from the recovery CD.

  Kind regards

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.

• Windows 8 does not start from cd player

  I have a bootable CD, but can't get my new computer windows 8 to boot from it even after changing the BIOS.

  How can I do this?

  Thank you very much

  New Windows 8 computers are required to have UEFI rather than the BIOS.
  And, these systems have a function called Secure Boot that will not easily let you boot from a CD.

  Secure Boot to disable and enable legacy mode in UEFI to boot from a CD.  So be sure to put this back before attempting to start again under Windows.

• My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

  Details of the machine: -.

  Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
  Serial number: XE343127P

  Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

  Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

  I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

  System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

  The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

  1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

  Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

  Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

  I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
  HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

  What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

  Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

• Satellite L300D - 12L does not start from CD/DVD drive

  Hello.

  I noticed a couple of threads on L3x who sometimes won't start but have a blinking cursor.
  I also have this problem with my daughter satellite.

  It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

  I tried several discs with similar results.
  Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

  Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

  That's why check first before you would contact any ASP guy to replace the STRANGE.

  See you soon

• H8XT does not start a DVD player

  I recently bought a H8XT and I want to do a clean install of windows 7.  The DVD drive seems to work very well and I used it to create the recovery discs already.  However, when I try to boot from the DVD drive, the boot in the bios menu does not show the DVD player.  I t shows a generic drive called "ATAPI CD/DVD Drive.  Even when I try to choose that it does not start on the DVD, it always starts on the hard drive.  I have this research group and found a position with a similar problem to mine.  Here it is:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-operating-systems/computer-won-t-boot-to-install-Windows-7-full...

  The solution for this post was to clear the CMOS.  However, my motherboard is not exactly like the one shown in this post, and I can't figure out how to clear the CMOS memory.  In the 'Clear the CMOS' link in figure 4, it shows 2 jumpers on the right side of the 6-pin.   In my system, 2 riders are on the left side 6 pins.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Thanks for the suggestions.   It turns out that when I burned an image of windows 7 on DVD, it does not burn properly and is not bootable.

• VM does not start from CD/DVD

  Hello

  I just finished installing Hyper-V on my windows server 2012 and I created my first VM. I try to install the operating system of the CD/DVD drive, but it does not start. It displays "Boot Failure. Restart from a proper boot device... ».

  I tried setting up another server in the same way and the virtual machine on the other server also shows the same error.

  I have the CD as first option in the BIOS to boot. I have only one CD drive on my server that I put my VM to start stand with.

  So, what could be the problem?

• Portege 2010 does not start-> white screen

  Hello

  I need help because my 2010 does not start. When I press the power button, the power light turns on but I get nothing on the screen.

  He worked when my brother used it until the mouse has frozen and then turns off. He then lit it back in which case only the power led came up with nothing on the screen.

  The hard drive was clicking while it worked so I don't have a gut feeling that hard must the disc are dead and causing the cell not to return as when I power it on I get no hard drive light shape or sound the HDD at all.

  Even I get nothing on the screen. Not even the Red sign boot Toshiba. So, it's worry in me as well.

  Thank you, Claude

  Hello

  I put t think it is a HARD drive problem.
  If the HARD drive is dead, you will receive a message on the screen saying that the laptop is not able to find a boot device.

  If the Toshiba start screen does not appear I think that it s something wrong with the motherboard. I guess that the graphics card is dead. But to be 100% sure, verification is required.
  In my opinion, you should ask a partner or a technician for assistance.

• Left without head does not start from the phone.

  Hello

  I have a problem with the part without a head.

  When I try to launch the app to Eclips, the app will be charged for phone and rotate the UI and parts without a head.

  Now if I restart the phone, headless part does not start even when I open the UI part,

  The headless part is to call the block function.

  Any idea will be very appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Your HL will start automatically in these two scenarios:
  (1) the application is installed on the device (there is no front)
  (2) the phone is restarted-> which is the magical part where your file bar - descriptor.xml is to record your target without head to call when the OS up bb.action.system.STARTED action.

  If you want your HL to be launched at the start of the user interface, you must manually call.

  Look here for an example of coding:

• Product is complete recovery - Toshiba Portege M300 does not start

  Hello.

  I have a Portege M300 Toshiba I got again in 2006. It has progressively slower over the years, so yesterday, I thought I would use the product recovery CD to reinstall the factory settings.

  Put the CD in restarted with F12, selected CD player, follow the instructions on the screen, he went through unpacking process... but once completed and handed over to market get you the Toshiba welcome screen then it seems that it will start, but it blocks just with a white screen... nothing not even a cursor flashing.

  The hard disk does not even appear to be spinning?
  I tried this process now 6 times and I'm starting to pull my hair!

  Anyone got any ideas?

  > The hard disk does not appear still to be spinning?
  Well, it looks like a disc is defective.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  I think that you need to replace the HARD drive and should reinstall the OS once more

  Good luck

• Portege R100 will not start up CD

  I have a r100 and has now no OS and worse still it used to boot from external cd please can someone advise me how can I reload windows xp and have my computer back

  Hello

  What external hard drive that you are using?
  I read in this forum of Toshiba that not all external drives are compatible.
  You need a support if you want to boot from the CD!

  You know the knowledge base of Toshiba?
  I studied at this page and found this article:

• Portege M100 does not start - power light flashes orange

  Hi all

  I have a Portege M100.
  Since ysterday, the computer does not boot. When I push the power button, I hear the noise of the fan starts working, but nothing else happens. The power light continues to blink in orange.
  I removed the battery and tried to turn on the computer with the AC adapter is plugged in, but nothing changes.

  Any ideas on what could be the problem? I would appreciate help,
  Thanks in advance

  Yalin

  Hi mate,

  could possibly be the RAM, so please check the RAM modules and remove 1 module if you have 2 of them installed.
  Otherwise, I check if some another module of RAM is available and install the module of well known work. If this is not sufficient then I strongly recommend you to bring your machine to a service partner chartered for a balance of health/repair of equipment.

  Please give some information about your situation...

  P.S.: you can try to remove the battery and AC and leave the machine without power for about 24 hours. Maybe it helps?

  Welcome them
