• Satellite Pro 6100 - invalid boot.ini file message at boot

  Hello

  Don't know where to start.
  I want to just run Office 2003 from my Satellite Pro. Had problems with the HDD so I decided to format using the recovery discs.

  Now, when I start the machine initially I get the following message: * invalid boot.ini file. Starting from c:\windows.*
  After a minute or so, the following message appears. * missing or corrupted system32.hal.dll file *.

  Any ideas how to fix this please?

  Hello

  Looks like the laptop cannot start the Windows operating system and a few files damaged or are missing.
  In your case, I would try to reinstall new OS.
  Format the whole HARD drive and try again.

  If the second installation does not help, then a HARD drive should be checked may be that you need a replacement.

  Invalid Boot.ini, after press R for recovery... ask what window installation you want to log on... can you tell me the answer... thx

  When I turn on the computer, see the "invalid boot.ini files", "boot c:/window'...so I try to follow the microsoft statement gave me to start the computer from Windows XP Home edition CD Rom to solve the problem... when it loads to"Welcome to put in place"I press R for recovery then it asks me" which window system you want to connect on ' "

  XP end by load? If Yes, you probably do not even need to enter the Recovery Console. Follow the helpful suggestion of Jose from this page:

• error starting: "invalid boot.ini file" Windows XP will then continue to start

  All of a sudden a couple of weeks, my XP computer displays a black screen 'invalid boot.ini file' message, "Now booting from a disk C:" or something to that effect.  After that, it continues to boot normally.  Previously, he asked me if I wanted to hit F2 or F8, but this isn't any longer.

  So far, it was not a major issue.  I'm just curious as to what might have caused it and if there is anything I should do about it.  Thank you

  BTW... Dell Dimension 8100, set updated to 2.5 GHz CPU, 1.5 GB memory, Rambus, Windows XP SP3...

  You will see a message like this if missing the c:\boot.ini file.

  In a single partition configuration XP, XP doesn't have even a c:\boot.ini file to start.  XP will complain to this topic, but again start very well.

  Use the Wunders statement (especially latter) to edit/create/difficulty a new file c:\boot.ini if yours is missing, then restart.  He lack the onus once again, there is something wrong.  Some third-party programs (such as the Ask toolbar) allows you to delete the c:\boot.ini on each reboot (and other things), but reportedly they sets.

  You have the toolbar or any component installed ask Ask?

• XP pro do not start after changing the Boot.ini file

  The problem is that my C: partition Windows 7
  D: has XP Pro

  These should be considered right resp. partitions 1 and 2?

  I wanted to first XP pro to start the default partition.

  A few days ago, I made a change to the boot.ini file. But since XP Pro was not starting at all.

  I tried XP Pro to start first that the default partition.

  Given that XP Pro and my D: drive have not been starting, I consulted the boot.ini file in C:, Windows 7 partition and I changed the order (i.e. partition No.) in the boot.ini file and saved it to the required location, i.e. D:/WINDOWS/pss.
  through my drive C: of work, i.e. the partition of Windows 7, but it still does not work because apparently even though I save here, the actual values and the paths of the partition are not actually be changed on the system. I confirmed this by going into the CMD shell switching to D: and by running the command D: > bootcfg.
  Apparently any values I save in the boot.ini file that I save as a text file or "All files" in D:/WINDOWS/pss/it does not actually change in the system because whenever I run the command bootfg values are remaining still and not able to be changed, because apparently it is not saved in XP Pro and the D : partition. No matter what I do and what I put in the boot.ini file to access the values through the windows 7 partition, the values that bootcfg returns me are always the same and he refuses to change the name of path or anything else. No matter what orders, I also put in bootcfg himself.

  These are the values that bootcfg gives me:
  default: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

  Boot entries:
  Boot entry ID: 1
  Friendly name of operating system: MS Windows XP Professional
  Path: multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS
  The operating system load options: / noexecute = OPTIN/FASTDETECT/usepmtimer

  My XP Pro partition is simply not booting, and it of my main partition and has all my work. It is imperative that it starts.

  My Windows CD is also not start because apparently my DVD drive does not work properly, I had the anti malware threatfire (ThreatFire) installed on my XP D:Windows program disk but have uninstalled just in case it was blocking my changes to the system.

  On C:Win7, I put the default operating system option in the Advanced tab for Win7 and the D:XP Pro to XP Pro, when he was the starter and work. Now I can only access my files D:XP Pro Player C:Win7. But XP is not just start. What shd - I do? Thks.

  I don't have a very practical windows CD but my CD/DVD drive is not read and does not properly.

  Looks like your original post stated that your cd/dvd does not work.

  Respectfully, you will continue these hap hazard patches and your computer will not start at all. I'll try to help you once again. Please follow closely.

  Start your computer by loading Windows 7. Click HERE and download EasyBCD. Install the software in trial version. Once installation is complete open EasyBCD. You will see an interface like the image below. Click Add a new entry.

  

  A new screen appears as in the image below. Use the drop down menu to select Windows NT / 2 k/XP / 2 k 3 as described below. Type the name of the operating system in the box below. Of course, it will be Windows Xp (you can add the home or Pro to the name if you want). Make sure now that there is a check mark in the box "automatically detect the correct player. Once you have completed these steps click on 'add an entry '. That's all! You are finished. If all goes well, and if you have followed these steps carefully, there, now you have a system dual boot.

  

  You can now start working on your cd/dvd problem.

• I accidentally deleted the boot.ini file, and my system is not booting.

  When I switched on my system, "NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart your computer"appears. How do I include this boot.ini file in my system. The only splash screen appears. !!

  The choice is yours. If you have a Windows install disk, you can try to boot from it and go to the recovery console according to the instructions.  Most of the OEM machines these days above do not come with installation disks, in which case you will need to find another way to boot your machine from a CD.  If this seems difficult, that there is nothing wrong with she participates and have fixed it.

• the Boot.ini file is missing

  Miss me the boot.ini file, but I don't have a disc of xp files because windows xp is installed.  Should I buy windows xp to resolve this problem?

  First of all, make sure that you have not left a CD/DVD in a drive that is checked for an operating system before the system partition of the hard drive. If there's nothing there, you should be able to repeat your BOOT. INI file.

  XP BOOT. INI file resides in the root directory of the drive system (usually c :)). This is a simple text file, but marked as hidden. If you have another computer, you can create or copy one from a computer with a similar setup to yours (for example boot from C:, Windows XP files in c:\Windows, etc.).

  The following can be copied into Notepad and saved to create a simple BOOT. INI file.
  [boot loader]

  timeout = 30

  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS

  [operating systems]

  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ fastdetect
  If you have access to another computer, consider mount the hard drive broke as a slave and creation/copy of a BOOT. INI file in the root.

  I tried to find the CHEST. INI file with the help of windows search, but could not find this file. Can you please help how can I find the CHEST. INI file and how to fix? Or at least how to start Windows 2000?

  Sincerely

• Modify the boot.ini file

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  The easiest way is to edit the boot.ini through Control Panel > switch to Classic view > system > advanced. Click settings under Startup and recovery. Now the button Edit under system startup.

• Satellite 1800-814 failure?

  Got a laptop Satellite 1800-814. More often than otherwise, the machine does not start at startup. Took unit apart and put in fan site slowed down when you press the power button, but nothing else. No HARD disk activity. Only the lights on the front of the unit are AC, stack of amd.

  Thought of h m/c is probably terminal but don't remember how long I got it to see if it is still under warranty or not (it's around 18-24 months).

  On the VERY odd occasion he fired upward (we are talking about a person on 10 attempts and usually when left unplugged overnight) then it goes off well, but crashes after around an hour or two.

  If somebody has got all the suggestions will be happy to know.

  Hello

  European warranty is two years, but if you have disassembled your laptop, I'm afraid there is no guarantee more. Have you used this opportunity to remove any dust inside your laptop? I think that can be very useful. Notebook work softens and much better.

  Can you see the Toshiba logo at the beginning, or come within the parameters of the BIOS? At the end there may be a hardware problem. What laptop again is there some strange noice by the HARD disk activity?

• Satellite 1800-712: failure of the screen

  S1800-712 screen keeps blacking out. started flashing, will now stay if I unplug the sector & work on battery power only. Blacks out after 30 sec on sector.

  Hi Steve,.

  If you can still see an afterimage (albeit very dark), then it is likely that your FL inverter has failed and must be replaced.

  However, if the screen is completely black, then it may very well be a parameter in the Toshiba Power Save utility for AC power which is turning the screen off.

  Kind regards
