Re: Don't start with Satellite C660D - 1C7

Hello

I was installing Windows 7 via the toshiba Recovery Wizard, but during the installation, the laptop freezes and I need to.

When I start it up again, it shows ups two error messages:
(1) PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
(2) reboot and select proper boot device

Then I can't go to the Recovery Wizard (F8), it does seem that these messages. I disabled the lan on the bios. The first message disappears, but the second is still there. The hard drive is recognized by the bios and the bootsequence is ok.

What I did:
(1) reset the bios to its default value
(2) try to install with a win xp cd, but it hangs after some time and gives me a blue screen.

What can I do else? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

If you want to have the factory settings once again, you must install recovery image using the recovery disk.
Have you created this disk?

    Hello
    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L300 Windows Vista,
    I recently had my browser (Google Chrome) freeze so that the page that I was on was using Java.
    I went to reset, but once Vista began to start it would not go beyond the loading bar.
    Then, I went to boot from a drive to install Vista and met the same problem.

    I tried to start with the controller Mode SATA changed compatibility.
    This allowed the Vista disc load up successfully but did not allow for options but command prompt and from the Startup Repair.
    I ran Startup Repair twice and that Vista would load to the top of the loading bar then reset and loop this model.
    I don't know where to go from here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Perhaps, your laptop is infected with the virus, and you cannot load windows. You can search and find a software like Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0.0.506 Emergency Bootable CD and search for viruses. I wonder why you could not start Vista drive in AHCI Sata Controller Mode, I know the sata drivers are already integrated into Vista.

    Run "bootsect/nt60 ALL" into the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Wait and eject the Vista disc, reboot. Hope, it helps to have you tried to install from hard drive recovery image?

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    Tobias

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • With Satellite C660D-181 performance issues

    Hello

    Hoping someone can help me.
    I've had the above machine now for about 2 months and it is so incredibly slow. It has 6 GB of ram and a processor double heart and was bought to replace a child of 4 years another laptop.

    Constantly, it crashes when loading pages. Farmville is the worst offender, however it happens with all pages.
    I'm at a loss as to why complete what should be a very capable machine is unable to deal with the most basic of tasks that an old Dell has no problems with at all.

    I searched the forums and have heard of software conflicts possible, but all I have loaded is software AVG.

    If someone could please point me in the right direction, now I seriously think contact Toshiba for my money, this machine is so bad.

    Hello

    I know what you mean, I think I can help you
    I had a similar problem with the new laptop, the fact is that several applications running in the background and this could slow down the performance. The CPU and RAM can be overloaded. In your case, I recommend disabling of certain processes is not necessary.

    But first download and install the CCleaner. It is a free software that allows you to clean the registry and remove the garbage system.

    Then start the msconfig and switch to the Startup tab.
    You will find all the processes that are loaded at startup, when windows starts.

    Remove the mark to disable the process.
    If you n t know exactly what is controlled by the process, don't disable it.

  • Problems starting with Satellite P300 - 19K

    I have a portable Satellite P300 - 19K 1 month.

    Several times since I got it when I booted my system and got the password to logon windows my screen became a series of coloured horizontal lines and the Hung system completely. The only solution was to close by holding power button for 5 seconds. Screen start then on reboot that I would get in the trunk, but that did not work. Then, I learned that if I use the F8 key just I hit the power button I can get into a lot of upgraders and I was able to recover using the restore system but every time I lose a few programs that I need to reinstall.

    What has now happened 4 times in a month and becomes boring. I downloaded the latest display driver for the display of my card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, but when I went to install it I learned the version I have on board is the same and everything is beautiful.

    Someone had something similar or have a solution?

    Hello

    If this happens with own pre-installed Vista (factory settings), please contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.
    Please do not test with some additional drivers. It WILL work properly with the factory settings.

    Hi to you all.

    My name is Costis and I have a starting problem with my laptop. The laptop runs Vista and it was bought in November 2007.

    I have the following message:

    "Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device attached to the computer.
    This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a hard drive or a cd-rom drive which is a failure.
    Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    Hello

    What devices are connected to the machine? Some external HDD´s or DVD readers? Would be interesting to know because this error is caused mainly by external media/devices that are not properly connected to the laptop or a malfunction.

    I recommend to unplug everything from your machine and check if the error reappears. So I would suggest to backup all of your important data and retrieve the machine completely (maybe it s a related problem of the software).

    If that's not enough then come back and talk to us more this question.

  • Problem starting with Satellite C850-1FN

    Hi guys,.

    I have a portable Satellite C850-1FN which came with win 8. I want to install win 7 because I prefer to win 8. The problem is that I can not boot from the Cd/DVD drive or a usb bootable with win flash player 7. He always says no bootable media without any startup options, I choose from the menu of the bios. I even used an external cd/dvd drive, but still no boot disk and others not to mention that the internal hard drive.

    My Win 7 drive is ok, so is the USB bootable (tested on another machine).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks to the guys in advance.

    > My Win 7 drive is ok...
    You have the original installation disc of Microsoft or own creation?

  • Really random issues with Satellite C660D-102

    Hi, I've had this laptop for about a month now, and everything was fine until a few days ago, when a few strange things started to happen.

    Firstly, at random times that it doesn't let me scroll using the touchpad and secondly it wont let me anything by clicking on the task bar or tabs in my browser and sometimes nothing on the screen is clickable at all. Another problem, it's just random, I'll be striking and flashes the right-click options to the top, and if I press left click, it does not, right-click options keep showing.

    It all started at the same time, so I guess they are related. The only solution is if I use the Task Manager to stop the Explorer, then run it again and then it works again for a while but it's just unpredictable when it will happen, but happens about 60% of the time I use the laptop. It gets really frustrating now that I have a lot of work time and slows me down having to run the Manager of tasks all the time.

    Please can someone shed some light on what they think may be the cause and how can I solve it. Thanks :)

  • SOLVED: Why don't Satellite 4090XCDT does not start with DVD-R/W drive?

    Hello
    as I said in the other thread that has already been closed, I bought a used Satellite phone who would not start of 3rd party DVD - RW (Quanta Storage SDW-042) included, even if Windows couldn't read well enough.

    I found out why, starting with the help of the user answers in the other thread.

    In the user manual, there is a description in the capitel on the configuration of the system about tconfig, which proved to be a valuable indication: HDD = Primary IDE (1F0H/IRQ14) (...), CD = secondary IDE (170 H/IRQ15). Compared to my desktop, it seems to me that two readers need to be masters on no. 1 and no. 2 cable, not as master and slave on the same cable from HARD drive. So, my CD-ROM would probably be master.
    Then I did the research further into the issue and found out, that there is no CD-ROM where select things cable if they are master or slave. Then I found in
    http://www.dschen.de/laptop_brenner/ a note in his Toshiba Satellite Pro 4290, seemed to be no Cable Select and his planned book on the CD (or DVD player, he wants to use) as a master.
    CSEL means that 47 Pin is connected to the Earth, which he did by applying a drop of Tin from Pin 47 to 49, pine, which is also Pin 47. I tried the same thing and disassembled the DVD drive that was in my notebook. (My record to disassemble my laptop and all editing again properly is now gone in 50 minutes). And know what, my Satellite 4090XCDT can now boot from the DVD-RW!

    To perform the task, I needed a screwdriver of the watchmaker to open the DVD RW (three live, then you need to insert a PIN to open the tray and see the back), a 12 Volt type iron pin solder for SMD and I ordered the strap of welding with a stereo microscope, so this task is not negligible. See the link mentioned to know what pins are bridged (sorry, the website is in German but the picture is clear: in the top row of pines, only you can see, the 2nd and the third from the right). And of course with a replacement part "scrap", you could give your laptop a second life, but you run a risk, because you may not know what you have, master or slave (for firmware or hardware), broken in any case, select cable - and one other Web site indicates that they looked up to 17 variants of firmware in exactly the same drive , depending on what laptop, it was intended for use.

    Nice display. Thank you very much.

  • Satellite C660D - issues with SATA Toshiba MK5065GSX 500 GB HARD drive

    Hello

    I have problems with a Toshiba MK5065GSX SATA 500 GB from a Satellite C660D client.

    Cannot start the machine: was doing a start-up and factory default restore comes up with error, so does not actually load Windows. Therefore impossible to use connected diags. This machine does not appear to be any disk diagnostic on boot options

    Where are the diagnostic utilities to download in order to test the hard drive?

    Thanx

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can't simply make a copy of the recovery on the new HARD disk image and start the recovery image installation. In General, for the recovery image installation, you have bootable recovery media. She may be resumed DVD or USB recovery media.

    On older machines, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive. It could be that, in your case, recovery image is recorded on the hidden partition. This title has this restore partition?

    If there is possibility to make the copy of the recovery image, you can try is to check if the method described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm will work for you.

    By the way: your client was forced to create a recovery media and create backup recovery image. It is clearly described in manuals s therefore, in General, it is not your problem if you can't access the recovery image.
    In the worst case, you can explain to the client that there is no possibility for you to make the original recovery image installation and you can order the new disc of recovery for him.
    It can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Re: Satellite C660D - 10 d - problems with updates of drivers

    Greetings from Greece

    We bought a toshiba Satellite C660D - 10 d. It came with windows7 64-bit.
    After the windows installation and updates of windows updates, that I entered toshiba for updating readers, some of them was not installed.

    Then, the internet was very slow so I did a Hijack this scan to see what is happening.
    I discovered that many services that had to do with system32 is missing files.

    So first, I can post a HJT log for you, so if possible you can explain why this happens and you drivers that I could not update the list?
    I have also another question to u... can you please tell me how to work the bluetooth on the system?
    I hope you understand my questions because my English are not so good,

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    If the automatic driver update didn't work properly, then try downloading the drivers only manually and try the update again.
    You can find all the drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.
    But why update drivers if laptop running ok? I think that it s is not necessary if you have no problems.

    > can u please tell me how to work the bluetooth on the system?
    This laptop is not compatible Bluetooth

  • 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?

  • Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

    Hi all!

    I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
    My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

    So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

    Thank you in advance.

    I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?
