Satellite 1410 - NTLDR missing

My brother gave me his notebook to watch as it will not start. Although initially, it came with XP Home, it has since been upgraded to Professional and has worked well for about 12 months.

Cannot do a lot with the laptop because it constantly gives me the message NTLDR lack. At took the laptop and in 2.5 HARD drive "caddy to verify content using my home computer and I noticed that the HARD drive was empty. Reformatted to NTFS HARD drive and reinstalled back to laptop.

Changed BIOS to boot from the CD and tried reinstalling XP Professional but to halfway through the installation, it will fail with a BSOD. Several attempts have been made to install XP and have reformat using NTFS. installation goes as far as creating the \WINDOWS folder but it freezes or gives me a BSOD.

Not sure if there is a defective HARD drive or RAM or something.

An advise please

If possible, try to get the new HARD disk and repeat the installation of the OS. I also recommend you to use a tool to check if the HARD drive has bad sectors. It is really not easy to say what the problem is here, but I assume that there is something wrong with the HARD drive.

If connected as external device can you copy or delete files to it as usual?

  • Satellite Pro 4300: error - NTLDR missing

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4360, P3 700 mhz.
    I'm trying to upgrade the Bios to install Ubuntu Linux.

    However, by following the instructions on the download of Toshiba Bios, IE change the boot sequence for the floppy drive with the disc in the drive that contains the update files, I can't update and just got the message:

    NTLDR missing

    Someone help with this?

    Also, when I try to run the live CD, after changing the boot sequence in the CD-ROM, I get no response and the computer continues to boot from the disk with Windows 2000 Pro?

    Someone help with this?

    Hello

    "NTLDR is missing" usually means that the "NT Loader" of an operating system with the kernel NT or NT-technology cannot start the operating system. (Such system NT could be Win NT, Win XP or Win 200o)

    But it s strange when a drive reports an error message. What was on the disk before? Was the drive some disk before starting? If so, then proceed as follows:

    Format the drive in Windows 2000 with the option to make a disk and copy the files from the BIOS on this subject. Then boot from the disk and update your BIOS. Ususally it should work.

    Please give a few comments if you managed...

  • Satellite A200-1AX (PSAE6) NTLDR missing after backup retoring

    Hello my computer toshiba laptop A200-1AX (PSAE6) it came with Vista pre installed but I installed windows xp on it.
    Everything went well and I used acronis true image 11 home to perform a backup.

    Yesterday I tried to change my driver letter, and he told me that I can not change the letter.
    Then when I rebooted after awhile my windows would be stuck on the Welcome screen... then I tried to restore the backup with acronis bootable media... after the restore is completed and tried to boot, I have ntldr missing :(

    What has gone wrong? Can I register my cell phone from another format?

    Don t think that it would be able to solve this problem without reinstallation of the OS.

    Read some reviews on the missing NTLDR to error and one of the guys here in the forum found a solution to unlock the HARD drive and install XP:

    Hello

    The latest BIOS 1.4 - winner which is placed on the page of the Toshiba driver is good.
    I put t know why you said that this don't work on your Satellite 1410 but older BIOS versions of the BIOS are not available for download.
    I m not quite sure if an ASP technician could help you but it s worth a try to get in touch with one of the ASP and ask for the old BIOS.

    Is there a backdoor password to enter the BIOS and delete it?

  • Satellite 1410 - more than 512 MB RAM possible?

    I have a portable Satellite 1410. I have a 512MB of RAM reading and I would like to add this to the computer to make 1 GB. Unfortunately, the jury only supports 512 MB.
    Is there anyway to set up the BIOS or something else to make this computer accepts the extra 512 MB of RAM or there is no possible way to make the upper limit to 512 MB?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Hmm, I even downloaded the Satellite 1410 user manual and it shows that the computer supports 1 GB of RAM. This means that you can install the module of 512 MB RAM in each slot for a maximum of 1 GB of capacity

    You can try to install the RAM module in the worst case the computer will not start or recognize it. Then you may have to remove the module but that s just what can happen in the worst case. :)

  • SD-2212 drive does not read some DVD - Satellite 1410

    Hello every1,
    I have the Satellite 1410 604 for more than 2 years, with player combo mentioned above...
    It serves me right, except that it does not read certain types of dvd media, and I use only high quality DVD Verbatim...
    It happens that in the last months. It is not my main computer but it's to use in my house, and it really bothers me when my sister or father takes the new A60 Pro satellite on the road (its battery is better), I can't use last discs on it. So if there is a cause of upgrade, firmware I can't find on this site...

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    I don t think that the firmware update will solve this problem because this pilot acknowledged this DVD some time ago.
    In addition, I put t found any firmware of this drive on the Toshiba site.

    But check if the disk by removing the procedure will solve this problem. So why go to Device Manager and remove the disc. After again starting the operating system should recognize the drive again

  • Satellite 1410-902: how to remove a HARD drive

    Hello. Anyone know how to remove a disk for a Toshiba Satellite 1410 902?
    Open the Panel here, it's the HARD drive, but there is no obvious way to get it out... I don't want to force it.
    Thanks for the help.

    Luca.

    Hello

    The HARD drive slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You don't have to remove the screw holding the cover of the slot. Then, you can simply remove the HARD drive.
    But be careful.

  • Unable to get the restore to work - Satellite 1410 disc

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1410. During a restore of system with restore disks, I forgot to plug it. During the windows set up (this screen where you put in your country and all that) the battery has flat that I plug!

    I tried to throw the disc again, as it came with a box when I rebooted that said "the system is not fully restored. Please re-run Setup '. So I turned off and restart, then the message goes up after that windows image appears during startup.

    I bought this laptop second hand so I have all the manuals or books with him, I do not know the keys on which support to MSDOs not that I know what to do from here, I do not know which key press during boot up to get the CD to work, I have pressed the keys left right and Center and found exhaust takes me to a page of the system but anything to get the CD to run again that I thought would get just the restoration will once again.

    So now it starts up saying ' not completely restored system, please run the installation again.

    Someone know or seen this before, and someone can tell me if there is a simple answer, which key support during the start up or how to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    As Daniel said in the first assignment by pressing the C button the laptop should boot from the disc. Please press that several times the C immediately after the laptop from.
    Then you can be sure that the option has been enabled.

    The other possibility is to enter the BIOS and then to change the initialization of the order on CD/DVD first

    Hello

    This notebook should be a little older. Am I wrong?
    There are not a lot of information when I try to google for this model of laptop.
    But I think I found what you are looking for :D

    The motherboard must be compatible with the CPU:

    Mobile Intel Celeron processor clocked at 1.6 GHz, 1.7 GHz, 1.8 GHz
    Processor speed: 1.6 GHz to 1.45V
    The processor bus speed: 133 MHz

    Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M 1.7 GHz processor, 1.8 GHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology
    The processor bus speed: 400 MHz

    But you know, the faster processor will produce more heat and therefore the temperature rises. This could lead to overheating.

  • Format drive C on my Satellite 1410

    Hi all

    I was told that it is better to format your c: drive before you do a reinstall of Windows. Is this true?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1410, Windows XP Home Edition and you want to reinstall windows since according to the guidelines of my ISP, my laptop seems to be used as an open relay.

    What are the steps to take to a Format your hard drive in any case. I saw an article on Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313348) and that worried me a little. For a how to check the BIOS settings...?

    Appreciate all the advice!

    Thanks in advance,
    Ellen

    Hi Ellen

    If you want to reinstall your laptop, please use the Toshiba Recovery CD and the C drive will be formatted automatically. I suppose you have multiple partitions on the HARD drive. In this case, please use the installation in Expert mode, because on this path, it is possible to install the operating system on a partition.

  • Satellite 1410-801 and combo DVD SD-R2212

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite 1410 801 (with firmware combo DVD SD - R2212 1314).

    I can't read any CD or DVD. Seeing is always on a few seconds after inserting the disc. I tried to use a disc of starting BACK with driver BACK from Toshiba. Without success.
    According to the internet support site, there is no newer firmware for this material.

    5 months ago I had the same problem, then the drive has been changed.

    What can I do?

    Thank you and best regads.

    P. Perruchet.

    Hello

    That doesn't sound very well. You have more information about the change of the disk of 5 months ago?

    The technician spoke of failure?

    _____________________________________

    As a first step in my opinion, you can go to the Device Manager (could be found in the control panel - system) and check if there is a problem!

    If you had installed all the software that relates to the CD/DVD drive as programs that slows down the speed of your drive and uninstall it.

Even at 1 meter from the access point, even with the settings configured to Auto 802.11 mode, same with the other laptop with the same Wifi card to 11 Mbps, there is 1 MB/s.
