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 L450D - cannot use the product recovery disc

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum and have spent 3 days reading this and other forums to try to solve my problem, I found a lot of answers, but none does not work for me so I'd see if I could get the thought some very great need help here.

    Now, I have the problem that when I start the laptop the windows logo appears, then Microsoft corporation through the bottom and then the screen black with the cursor of Pentecost, I tried all possible starting in the bios settings and just goes back to this screen, I can t get no prompt or anything like that , I used knoppix and managed to transfer all the files I need from my external HARD drive, so thought I would not reset to factory settings with the recovery disk of the product supplied with the notebook, the disc never has been used or taken from the package until now is so in perfect condition of the art, so I put in the drive , start computer press f12 and make the primary boot CD, but all that happens is it says windows is loading files and get back to the dreaded black screen and a cursor.

    Can someone please help?

    If you have the original Toshiba Recovery disk I assume you have older model laptop with Windows XP Home edition old. To be honest, it would be interesting to know is you.

    In any case, out of curiosity but can only begin preinstalled OS in safe mode?
    Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value initially. After ding this change BIOS boot order and place the CD/DVD as first boot device. Put recovery media in the optical disc drive, and boot up your laptop. While the laptop tries to start C press several times.

    Usually, this should force your laptop to use ODD as the first boot device.
    Long ago, I had similar problem and such combination helped to force the ODD to read the recovery disk and Windows XP Home edition recovery facility. Of course, I hope that everything is OK with your HARD drive.

    Please test and send feedback.

  • Satellite A300 - cannot access the Internet more

    I would like to re - open this thread because I am facing a similar problem.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 and I installed Windwos 7 two months ago. Yesterday, his suddenly, my laptop could not access the internet more, but the wireless lan connection worked well.
    Until this malfunction appeared in the list of active connection, there was only one entrance, my network classified as "Home network" but now, instead, there are two entry, it is my network classified as "Home network", the other is a 'unidntified network', classified as 'Public network '.

    I am sure that the problem is in my laptop and not in the adsl router because:
    1 - other people to join my network wireless with normal internet access.
    2. the problem always occurs with other networks currently used by third parties to connect to the internet.
    3 - the problem always with cable connection

    Windows reports no error.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    To me it seems that you don't have an Internet connection so you always connected to the router but if you can access Internet t. You should look in the router configuration to see if it s is connected correctly.

    Try also updating the firmware on your router and disable security features to test this situation.

    Last but not least, you should try too update the wireless adapter driver. It can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba. :)

  • Satellite A300 - cannot install the BT stack

    Hello evryone,

    I had a problem with the bt stack and the file "setupdiu.exe".

    When I try to install battery bt it tries automatically to uninstal the battery, the problem is I get the error:
    "The file Setupdiu.exe is not marked for installation.

    I looked everywhere, but the only solution given is: delete the folder "C:\Program Files Toshiba Stack.

    I got this deleted file, I got the hidden files and I tried to remove the map with CMD and all other means to delete something with her, but he tells me that the map does not exist.

    I deleted the folder bluetooth stack for windows by toshiba in my registry and restarted, this also does not work.

    I have Windows Vista Home premium (32 bit) and my laptop is a toshiba satellite A300-1OS.

    I tried the "Difficulty" of Toshiba, this installed bluetooth stack tool and I run, helped not a little.

    I really want to have this problem, because he bug on the other bluetooth software and connection.

    (Sorry for my bad English)

    I am grateful to anyone who can help,

    I think the problem is, as you said, that the previous version was not properly removed. I would setup a tool such as
    "ccleaner" (free Internet) and clean your system registry and files. Maybe it works eventually. If not then your system in Mode safe start (press F8 during startup and check your system files again if some battery Bluetooth related files still exists and remove them if necessary)

  • Satellite A300 - cannot install the Win XP SP1

    I tried to install my MS Windows XP existing operating system - original disc, has worked several times before - a model A300 - 29K, and it has not worked. (blue screen, error)

    (Vista can be installed - if the machine is OK)

    The question is: is it possible, that this model is not compatible with XP?
    (this version of XP is old enough, only SP1 - I usually improve with SP3 after installation)
    No idea how to install my version of XP on it?
    (the machine is sold without an operating system - so not any disk with it)

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Win XP. It s no matter what version is XP Pro, Home, MCE, etc..
    The problem may be the lack of SP2 and SATA drivers!

    First, you must create a disk for Win XP SP2 and SP3.
    For this, you can use the nLite tool

    Google for the nLite for more information

    Secondly, you use nLite to include the SATA drivers for Win XP disk.
    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Storage Manager

    There is a lot of discussion on the installation of the driver SATA I recommend to use the advanced search option and read the content.

    But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

  • Don't load not satellite L550 - cannot use the AC adapter

    Hey guys I'm stuck.

    My L550-113 collapsed somehow load.

    He was supported very well now and then, sometimes stopped to load.

    When pluged AC the yellow control light lights up for a few seconds then Amber transforms into a yellow flashing.

    Tried to unplug and plug the AC adapter it did charge twice but now even that doesn't help.

    My main problem is that I can even use the device when it is pluged in...

    What should I do?

    Hello

    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait several hours and then connect the two parts and check if the laptop to charge again.
    If this isn't the case, then the adapter should be verified.
    If it s question no AC adapter (I guess that he isn t ac adapter related issue) then the motherboard of the laptop must be verified.
    I think that security is still available so get in touch with the local ASP in your country!
