Satellite A105-S361 wouldn't boot CDrom or PXE Linux

Hello

I just bought a toshiba satellite A105-S361, I deleted all partitions & installed Linux operating system. After a few days, I find that, although everything works perfectly, I can't boot from the CDrom or network (PXE). No matter how I change the settings in the BIOS, it is just try to boot from the CD or network, it goes straight to the startup hard disk!

I was wondering if the hidden partition that toshiba use for its "express media player", has nothing to do with helping start the laptop cdrom/lan as well!

Otherwise, no idea why I can't boot from them?
I'm really worried how to fix my laptop, should I have to re - install any OS!

Hello

First of all, you have installed Linux on the unit and Toshiba doesn't support this OS.
Toshiba delivered and designed only with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
I don't know if your question has anything to do with LINUX on your laptop but if the function m worked with the Windows operating system, so it must be a Linux question.

  • Satellite A105-S361 - update Bios do DVD cannot reboot

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite A105 S361. I guess I got the BIOS 1.70 software.
    because there are two possible updates for her in the Toshiba download website.

    So, I've recently updated my BIOS v2.0. In fact, he warned that after the update
    It would be impossible to return to v1.70, but I never thought that it might cause some
    problems.

    After the update, now I am unable to boot from the DVD-ROM. I tried
    change the boot priority in the bios, by pressing 'C' (stands for CD)
    in the trunk to the top, also press F12 to bring the boot list. Also
    I tried with my recovery cd and about 5 linux CD bootable.
    None of this has been successful and if I remember the update of the BIOS
    and eliminate the possibilities, which can be the cause of the problem.

    Then I'd be extremely grateful some hep with this issue to make it possible
    to boot from the DVD ROM.

    Best regards.

    As far as I know, this series laptop designed for the American market and as a result, you must use the BIOS from the Toshiba page we.
    I hope you have done it and used the good BIOS. Bad or not compatible BIOS can do some problems!

    However, the fact is that it of not possible to reverse the BIOS to the primitive version on the simply average. In your case, that only a technician of the ASP was able to help you but I wonder how the BIOS update would affect booting from the CD/DVD drive. IF the CD/DVD drive has been recognized and then a boot from CD or DVD should be possible.

    You attempted to set the BISO default settings? Check it!
    BUR if it doesn t help has then contact ASP in your country!

  • Satellite A105-S361 without recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite A105-S361 and now I have discovered that I do not have the recovery DVD and I don't have the possibility to recreate the DVD recovery my HD was formatted once.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Claudio...

    Hello

    I don't know where you come from, but AFAIK the Satellite A105-S361 was designed and delivered to the United States. It seems that this laptop is an American unit.
    Generally, it is possible to order recovery at the Toshiba service partner media but I don't know about the U.S. market.
    But I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba in your country for these media. In my opinion, it should be possible to order this CD.

  • Satellite A105-S361: screen becomes dark gray with gray fine lines

    I have a new laptop Satellite A105-S361 and seem to have display problems. My screen turns dark gray (with fine gray lines) while I use my laptop. This normally happens after using my laptop for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes. When I restart my computer, I get the Toshiba start screen, and then it works very well for another five minutes before aging again.
    I tried to connect to an external monitor and it works fine.

    I also installed a new BIOS, but I still have the same problem.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi, Ahmed.

    It sounds like a problem with your inverter FL. This is the device that provides lighting for your LCD screen. The fact that you can use an external monitor shows that there is not a problem with your graphics card.

    Fortunateky the FL inverter is not an expensive component and is quite easy to change then I suggest that you only contact your closest partner of Serviec allowed to check your laptop.

    Kind regards

    I am facing some problems with my cd/dvd control buttons on my satellite a105-s361 keyboard and I was wondering if there is no reason, I could find why this is so. If it's due to software or hardware problem.

    Please answer.

    Hello

    To my knowledge the A105-S361 was designed for the U.S. market and so if it s a software issue you should look on the page of the Toshiba driver we.

    I assume you mean the Toshiba control functionality of the buttons.
    The utility is not configured or does not work. In this case I would say reinstall this tool and then after phone restart, you might try to install it again.

    Note: Don't forget to check the options buttons in the control of Toshiba utility

  • Satellite A105-S361 - temperature of the processor to get high and it shuts

    I have Satellite A105-S361 and look like that get high CPU temperature and she off-ramp of the aircraft.

    I downloaded temperature some monitoring tools, but none can read the temperature of the processor on this unit.

    Sometimes, what's the problem?

    For me, it looks a bit like an overheating problem.

    Usually the laptop stops automatically if the temperature reaches a critical threshold. Then the notebooks overheat protection stops the laptop to prevent material damage.

    Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because notebooks modules of cooling don't work properly.
    You can try to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.

    It s a really useful tool for blowing air even if the railings of cooling and get rid of the dust and debris. These sprays, you can buy a portable computer/computer dealer.

  • Satellite L770D-10J wouldn't boot - Disk Read Error

    Hello

    My laptop cannot start and it gives me the Error Message:
    Error reading a disc like the case, press ctrl + alt + delete.

    I did it a couple of times and I tried to solve this problem because I have no Win7 DVD to boot from, I tried to reset the BIOS to its standard options and now he wants a password for me.

    I was not even enter a so I won't know it.
    After 3 attempts the system stops and I have to restart my computer.

    Now, I have an external hard drive but I can't try to boot from it because my laptop wants that password.

    To enter the BIOS or menu I also need this password.
    I really need help, if you know anything please contact me with 'NOTEBOOKS TOSHIBA computers SUPPORT. My warranty ran out already.

    Sorry for the bad English is not my mother tongue.
    Thank you for helping me.

    I assume you mean the BIOS password.

    This BIOS password can be deleted by authorized service provider available in your country.
    I have no idea why a BIOS password is displayed if you have not defined it in the past, but it is impossible to delete this unknown password by common laptop user. The BIOS password is a very important security element, and only authorized individuals are able to remove it.

    Error reading the disk:
    I'm not quite sure what disc do you mean exactly, but where the installed system cannot start, I think that the HARD drive is faulty and must be replaced. After this replacement, you will need to reinstall the system. The best way to install the system is using the Toshiba Recovery disk because all drivers and tools Toshiba would be installed with the Windows System.

  • Satellite 855D-S5120 - wouldn't boot efi file on the HARD drive

    I had no problem to boot from a usb port or a live cd in grub or gummiboot, but I was not able to do the same with the hard drive.

    The NVRAM settings are not persistent. I was able to set a uefi shell using the two Jean efibootmgr or significant, but they are reset to zero when you restart.

    I was able to initiate gummiboot out of USB by renaming the BOOTX64.efi file

    My efi partition is fat32 and marked as boot-able. I understand that some implementations of UEFI aren't complete implementations by the UEFI specification. which I think is the case here.

    Since the NVRAM apears does not have to be definable. I need to know where and what this implementation is looking for hard disk. Someone at - it the answer?

    I'm not sure that understand your problem.

    You are installing a U/EFI OS on the HARD drive but is unable to do start?

  • DVD drive is dead - l need to reinstall XP Satellite A105

    Hello world

    My wife went on vacation in Hawaii, and while she was missing, its Satellite A105 (is no more under warranty with a dead DVD player) started to malfunction to the point where XP where freeze at startup.

    I tried everything I could, but it wouldn't boot.
    So finally I took a DVD USB drive formatted the drive with killdisk and tried to use the recovery disk to at least get the operational unit. Problem is that the unit does not complete the installation I get the following error:

    Windows cannot find c:/bin/errordialog.exe

    I thought it was the disk so I cleaned it and still the same thing, since I was a student, I had access to XP pro from the msdn network so I got a copy and still the same error.
    I don't have a big enough USB flash drive, and the laptop doesn't have a floppy so I'm stuck with no way to restore the operating system... Needless to say that the wife is not happy with me!

    I managed to get Linux installed without problem, but my wife wants his laptop back to xp and will probably hate me until I can correct what I did. Help, please!

    TIA

    As far as I know it s is not possible to boot from the CD/DVD USB drive and reinstall the operating system by using this procedure.

    I would recommend therefore to replace the CD/DVD drive with a new, then boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    The CD/DVD drive is an essential device for laptop and it is worth having a what functions and trouble free work.

  • Error in device IO after installing Vista on Satellite A105-S334

    Need help please!
    Recently, I did a full restore of my computer Toshiba Satellite laptop.
    My computer came pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition.
    I had upgraded to Windows Vista, which was one of the worst computer decisions I had made.

    That's why... I did the full restore with the factory restore disk that came with my laptop.
    Before restoring, my CD player worked fine.

    Now all I get is an error message "the request cannot be performed because of an i/o device error."
    When I put in the disc, I can hear it turn. I see even my mouse cursor will turn to a disc as if she was about to open the drive, but the error message.

    I tried to reinstall the driver... no luck. I also tried to change IDE properties that don't seem to work either.

    Someone please help!
    If it helps, I have a rug * drive his DVD Ram UJ - 841 S Satellite A105-S334. I can't boot any CD, however, if a disc contains a few documents, it will open up very well!

    Help, please.

    Stand by. I'm a bit confused.
    If I understand you right you can use the drive as a boot device and boot media is readable, but you cannot use the drive just under the operating system. Am I right about that?

    Have you noticed this problem right after the clean install of OS? Did you remove some pre-installed software components? Did you install additional software for burning CD/DVD?

  • Satellite A105-S2051: common Module not found. This configuration will be terminated

    Hello

    I installed Windows XP but when I try to install any utility (like the Hotkey Utility) I get the message:

    TOSHIBA common Module not found. This configuration will be terminated.

    I can't find the "Toshiba ACPI common Modules for Windows XP" on the Toshiba web site. I tried the web site in English,

    I tried every single link in the support for the Satellite A105-S2051 page.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There is nothing like the Module 'common '.

    I have lived a great incredible waste of time while searching for the reader.

    So please, any help would be welcome.

    Hello

    I found Toshiba ACPI common Modules for Windows XP (Toshiba value-added Logic Device) in some different sets of Satellite A105.

    For example: A105-S271 A105-S2711 A105-S361 A105-S3611, A105-S2719, A105-S2712, A105-S2713, A105-S2716, A105-S2717

    Go for no apparent reason the A105-S2051 is not there.

    However, try the Toshiba ACPI common Modules of different A105.

    Maybe the latter won't work.

  • Satellite A105-S4164 problem new Bios

    I recently updated the Bios ACPI BIOS Flash version 5.90 for Tecra A7/Satellite A105 (Intel) (PTA70U) and restart, the computer hangs at the Toshiba "in touch with tomorrow" screen. I can press F2 to load the utlites system but it loads just forever and nothing happens. I can't close F12 to enter the boot menu, it does nothing, I can't get another screen where it tells me the version of the bios somehow and I can press F2 to get into setup but it restarts right after a long time on the toshiba screen. I am now just leave this sit hoping it will start after a long period of time.

    So, is there something wrong or should he take this long and if there is something wrong how can we all fixing, or reinstalling windows?
    I run windows XP pro and don't have a CD that came with the computer.

    Any advice would be a great help thanks, Sean

    These problems occur if something went wrong in the BIOS update procedure or if you used a bad BIOS and update bad procedure.

    In most cases, the common user is powerless you can do anything!
    All you can do is contact the ASP in your country for a fix.
