Satellite A300 - Vista does not load, the computer does not start

Satellite A300
Model number: PSAGCA-02W010

Vista won't load; have you tried to start repair; System Restore and boot in safe mode, none of them work. I get the error "error 0 x 80070570: the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

I don't know what I did with my recovery CD; or if I even got one with my purchase (from Harvey Norman).

Please tell us what can be done.

Hello

What you can try is to install Vista using disk HARD recovery option.
How it works, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

If it works all the data saved on the C partition will be deleted but the data saved on the D partition will always be there.

    Hello

    Hello

    > ive tried 4 different vista disks that work fine on other computers, as I have tried

    It looks like something wrong with the hard drive. I recommend you format the hard disk with programs like Partition magic, Disk Manager Arcoins. You should make a disk bootable cd and boot from it to format the hard drive before installing Vista. Furthermore, you have formatted partition during the installation of Vita? There is an option to format the partition selected during the installation of windows. You see, I met some users who tried to install windows without formatting the selected partition.

  • Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

    Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
    If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

    If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

    Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
    How did you check that?
    From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

    Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
    This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
    Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

  • Satellite A300-U01 - do not have an ATI option using a right click on the desktop

    I have A300-u01; It has the graphics card ATI RADEON 3650.
    Well, I had Sat A205 which had the graphics card intel.
    When I use to do a right click on the desktop there is possibility for Intel graphics card but on my Sat A300 I don't have the option even with right click deskop.

    I saw an A300 Sat at the market and he had the ATI card and also had Option ATI with a right click on the desktop.

    With regard to the option ATI;
    This option is displayed only by using Windows XP.
    In XP you can join the ATI settings with right click on the desktop-> properties

    In Vista, you should find the ATI Catalyst in start-> all programs-> Catalyst Control Center

    What about the battery time;
    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop and the battery.
    If you are running high-performance applications then the battery will last longer, not as an hour.
    You can extend the battery, time to work if you would be less light the brightness of the screen and would use a stronger battery with the value of my superior.

  • Console buttons multimedia Toshiba Satellite A300-08WB do not work

    Hey all,.

    I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer but the buttons backlit Toshiba multimedia Console still does not work.

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers, Levi

    PS. would it not under warranty

    > I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer
    This means that you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Have you created a Toshiba recovery disc at the beginning?

    I think that if you didn't use the recovery disc, then the question refers to the missing part of the driver or software

    But Satellite A300-08WB is not known to me what model number of the laptop is it?
    You can find the numbers at the bottom of the unit

    Hello, Norbert

    Maybe you should check the settings of Vista power again. I have too many A300 and everything works fine.
    I tested it with all three power plans. Have you done the same?

    Usually, I use the BALANCED power plan and enter mode standby 20 minutes correctly.

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.
