• Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

  Hi guys.
  First timer here.
  I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
  It seems I have the same problems as keith.

  I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
  Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
  Both options end with no joy.

  The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
  The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

  Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
  I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
  other options?

  My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
  have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

  Are there any other suggestions?

  Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

  is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

  is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

  see you soon,
  Martin

  Hello Martin

  To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
  Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

  If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

  In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
  > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
  It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

  > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
  I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

  > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
  You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

  I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

• Satellite A100 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I downloaded the update to the bios toshiba A100 PSAA8 on the toshiba site and applied using the procedure of updating the bios from windows XP MSE. Restart after the start of the update stopped at the toshiba start screen.

  At startup the screen by pressing ESC watch text mode. The message indicated it confirms the update of the bios version. POST messages are:

  _________________________
  Genuine Intel CPU
  No TPM or TPM has problem
  1015 M system RAM passed

  Press to enter in SETUP
  _________________________

  Pressing F2 just clears the last message in line and then no change is found.

  The laptop comes with windows XP media center edition. I don't know why the TPM secure is enabled. It is possible that toshiba is available with the module of TPM enabled in bios updates that logbook. If this is the case, they must clearly identified as 'not applicable' upgrade for machines that are not relevant.

  I found similar messages around the forum without convincing answer.

  Is it possible to fix this without sending? Even if it turns out to be affordable, it make much sense to pay for the problems caused by toshiba.

  Hello

  Please don t blame someone for you mistakes ;)
  As far as I know that only a few sets of laptops come with TPM.
  If you want to do an update of the BIOS on the models at TPM, you will need to contact the ASP!

  Looks like you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure.

  The Toshiba page a BISO update the documentation that describes how to upgrade the BIOS on each series laptop!
  You will find on the page of the Toshiba driver compatible BIOS and information over a large number of details!

  > Is it possible to fix this without sending
  Don t think so, and therefore, you will need to contact the Asp help!

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 does not start after the wrong Bios Update

  Yesterday, I upgraded my BIOS of 1.90 to 2.20 for VISTA... now, apparently, I downloaded the BIOS bad a100 to my A100 (PAAS...)

  Now the computer turn on (no display) then a few seconds later stops offshore and turns on again (without interruption), I am under warranty (and the computer is in the store) but I was wondering what to do if Toshiba is not honor the warranty?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say, but it seems that you don't have the choice.
  You can ask him authorized partner in your country for the help that I know, BIOS update errors are not covered by a warranty and you will have to pay a small fee for fixing.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced:(mais peut-être avez_vous une évasion chanceuse et seulement la puce ROM doit être flashée à nouveau)

• Satellite C650 does not start with android phone on

  Hello

  I have a smallproblem. My Satellite C650 does not start when my android phone is plugged into the USB port. It sticks to the Toshiba start screen. I checked the boot order and the hard drive is the first on the list, so it isn't that. Any advice will be welcome.

  Cool. Thanks for the comments.

• Satellite P300 does not start immediately

  Hello

  My Satellite P300 does not start immediately. I have to press the button start ca. 20 or 30 times.

• Satellite A100 will not start

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

  A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
  Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

  I tried:
  out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
  Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

  Best regards

  As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

  Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

  I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

• Satellite 2450 does not start - only in safe mode

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite 2450 where it is not initialize properly - is stuck in the screen of Windows XP (just continues to scroll through and hangs there).
  I can boot into safe mode.
  Have not had any other problems with it - no errors, do not have installed/uninstalled anything recently.

  Any ideas what could cause this problem?
  Do you think I should use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS? Anything less drastic I can try?

  any advice appreciated,
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Usually, if the laptop does not start correctly in normal mode, but only in SafeMode because some drivers or / and software applications are false or defective.
  In this case, the recovery procedure should solve this problem.
  If you n t have the Toshiba Recovery CD, you can install from the original CD of Microsoft's operating system, and then you can try to install stuff together from Toshiba (driver, tools)
  These software, you will find on the page of the Toshiba driver.

• Satellite C650 does not start - error PXE - M0F

  Just bought a Satellite C650, get it home and my son decided to stop the whole upward as he ran.

  Now, we get the error below:

  Check the connection of the cable!
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
  No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

  We received no drives, nor a manual with adequate instructions and can't find anything on the web for help.
  Toshiba closes for the day.

  Hoping that this forum could give me an idea.

  Hello

  PXE error is displayed because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Why it does not start from the HARD drive but LAN switches?
  I think the HARD drive is defect.
  Perhaps its also not recognized in BIOS.

  Switch on and press F2. This allows you to access the BIOS where you could check if the HARD drive is recognized. I guess it must be mentioned on the first page.
  If it s not there, then it means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  I assume that the warranty is still valid; Therefore, you should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country for replacement.

• Satellite M30: Does not start XP

  My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

  The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found.

  I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
  Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
  "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
  I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

  I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
  X:\\ no disk fixed

  Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

  I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

  Your help is very appreciated!

  Suraj

  Hello

  The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

  If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

  I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A350 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A350 (about a year and a half) who does not start correctly. This has happened after that the laptop was left on until the battery has failed. The button of the keyboard and the power LED lights up, but the screen stays black when I try to turn it on. I use Windows Vista.

  The machine continues usually to make a sound whirring for a few seconds before it stops making noise (the fan and the HD). The screen flickers sometimes a lighter black on a screen for less than a second. In addition, the cooling fan has sometimes continued to operate after you stop all the rest.

  Another problem is that when if it is turn on and go to the Toshiba screen, odd lines will fade to the screen, and finally the screen eventually white/blue. On the other hand, sometimes it turn on and act as if nothing had happened. In these times, placing sleep mode will be to not be a wheat to turn back on.

  I tried removing the battery, using only the battery, fully charge the battery and using the laptop with barely any load from the battery and it doesn't change anything.

  I would really appreciate any kind of lead as to what may be wrong with the poor.

  Hello

  Generally speaking, it is always difficult to say something on these sometimes mistakes because it s not clear and can be caused by all parties, but at the moment I doubt that this problem is software partner

  You see something on a screen when the internal screen stays black?

  In the worst case, it s that a hardware malfunction and that would mean you need help from an ASP to check what part is affected, but if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.

• Re: Satellite A200 does not start

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 on VISTA.
  The laptop does not start. I can get to the Toshiba splash screen, but don't go no more far just get the blocking of the laptop and the display one? symbol at the top right of the screen.

  I tried

  -Reset to the factory settings (no difference)
  -Starting with the battery and output (no difference)
  -Withdrawal of the memory modules and try different configurations (no difference)
  -Remove the hard drive (screen displays the details of Intel and say no HD media detected no screen Toshiba either)
  -Pressing the button to try to get in windows safe mode (can t happen).

  Title information, under settings, I see the hard drive and DVD player is connected is connected.

  If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi mate

  It seems that you have already tried all possible solution proposals
  But what happens if you start the laptop using a bootable diskette. for example, recovery disk, disk Win XP, Linux live CD, etc?

  I knew it could be a HARD drive problem, even if the HARD drive is correctly detected by the BIOS
  Maybe a replacement HARD drive might help maybe.

  Otherwise, it could be a serious hardware problem I m thinking: motherboard

  What do you think?

• Satellite M100 does not START

  Good, everyone

  I have 100 M Satellite
  _when I turn it on it makes 8 signals and not booting not delivered.
  I can't boot from the BIOS RECOVERY cd too.
  It works but does not start.

  HRR, RAM, all components are ok I checked.
  WHAT signals DOES 8 mean?

  Hello

  What do you mean with 8 signals?
  Sorry, but your statement is fairly general. This type of signals that you noticed?
  Audio (beep) and visual signals (flashing LED)?

  I assume you noticed flashing signals. Am I right about that?

• Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

  My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

  I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

  The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

  The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

  Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
  During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
  It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

  My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
  Thank you
  I have.

  Hello

  I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

  After that, the system must run again...
