Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R) - error recovery

MySatellite A660 i7 1.73GHz with Windows 7 now hang at startup. When I rebooted I get to start Windows in safe mode or run Startup Repair. The two option to hang on. I also sometimes get ERROR: F3-F100-0003.

I used my recovery disks (that I have used before with no problems), but on the first lap it hung on the creation of partitions. Now when I start I get no BIOS only 'BOOTMGR missing Press Alt Ctrl Del for restart. When I press I get a small bar flashing in the upper left corner and nothing else.

I got this 8 months ago from JB HiFi.

Nobody knows what could be wrong or a way to fix it?

Hello

The BOOTMGR error message you get because recovery installation didn't finish properly. If no operating system is installed and the computer can't find Windows Boot Manager.

Either you get the broken record due recovery error message and so the files can t be read properly or it s hardware malfunction.

Way the easiest to check is to install Windows from a normal disk of Microsoft. If it works, it seems that the hardware is working correctly, but the recovery disc is the problem. All the drivers and tools you need after installing Windows can be downloaded on the site Web of Toshiba.

But if you want a new recovery disk, you can order it here:

    My model: Satellite A660-16Z (Italian model)

    Operating system: Windows 7

    Then, I tried to order on the web
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    the recovery image, but after you insert the serial number, the web-system shows me the message:

    For your device no way recovery can be ordered, because he is not from the area of Toshiba Europe, or he is too old for this service

    Thanks in advance
    Markus

    The laptop is certainly European series so the only plausible reason why you can not order the recovery disk is: laptop is too old.
    In this case, you can install only a clean Windows 7 system. The necessary drivers are available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver and could be installed after the installation of the system.

  • Question - loop on Satellite L350-170 Windows error recovery

    Toshiba Satellite L350-170 - Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 2.00 GHz, 2 GB, 250 GB, 17 "TFT, DVDSM, VHP

    My wife bought three weeks ago. Use of the lamp. Everything works fine, until a dialogue of "Startup Repair" appeared. Since then, the machine starts.

    Machine goes into "Windows Error Recovery" immediately after the Toshiba start screen and has the following options;
    (1) run the Startup Repair tool
    (2) start Windows normally

    Option 2 results in a blank screen and finally goes back to the screen "Windows Error Recovery".

    Option 1 has the reboot dialog box;

    "Your computer was unable to start.
    Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... »

    At this point, the Toshiba laptop enters an endless loop.

    So what I do now? There is no disc came with the laptop, so I can't reinstall the operating system. The dealer (Comet) is less useful and don't know no refund or Exchange for a defective product.

    Can someone please!

    Try this:

    Press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
    Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
    Then a new window should open and there you can choose the option called Toshiba recovery.

    Please note then this procedure would start the Toshiba HDD recovery and the BONE to relocate again. This would be to format the whole HARD drive and set the OS to the factory settings.

    In my eyes, you can use this procedure for recovery of HARD drive, or you can try to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Both lead to the same results

    Good bye

  • Satellite A660 (PSAW3E) - FN keys not working not

    Hello
    I reinstalled my windows 7 64 bit on my laptop Satellite A660 and downloaded most, if not all the drivers on the official site of Toshiba UK.

    Although I do not use the FN keys, keep it bugs me knowing that they do not work.

    So... when I press the fn and none of my keys f1 - f9, they do not do anything, no card flash or anything like that.

    But the touch buttons to the upper work (the eco (I think), wireless, media, pause/start, light, decrease volume and increase volume) when I press them they sound and everything, but no flash cards is (not sure but I think that there is no flash cards for those) However when I press the power button on top of the mouse everything works including the flash ECAD

    The normal keys F1 - F12 function

    Tried to uninstall the pack of value-added and install again (after rebooting my laptop)
    Tried to restart flash cards too
    None of the above worked.

    Sorry for my English, not my language to the House :)

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M & error during my recovery

    Hi all

    Two months ago, I bought A660 - 11 M. Two weeks, he started causing a problem starting I tried to fix it so far. During my own repair work, I accidentally jumped a recovery partition and boot was not possible at all. In the end, I had to buy CDs of recovery (CD1 and CD2) and tried a recovery with them. When I did with CD1, I inserted CD2 and everything was going well until the recovery stopped with the error code ' * 10-FC06-000 D. "

    When I googled the code, it was suggested that it should be linked with the equipment, including the failed hard drive. Indeed, when I checked my HDD before recovery with "Crystal disk Info", the hard drive diagnostic tool, there was a problem with "reallocated sector number. I got a warning for this section.

    I wonder if the error code is certainly linked with hardware (especially the hard drive), but not with the software. I am planning to send to Toshiba warranty service but his engineer said they won't it if it turns out be a software problem and would charge a 42 books to release to me. I don't know if I should count on Toshiba or search for external expert.

    I also want to hear from anyone who had experience with the Toshiba warranty service due to hard drive problem. I wonder if they provide a reliable repair service or try to get away with a ton of excuses. It would be useful for everyone in this forum for sharing experiences with them.

    I will seek forward at the hearing as many of you as possible. Thank you.

    Well, you can try to check the HARD disk.
    Use the HARD Drive Fitness Test called drive test tool. You can find it in internet and it s freeware.

    If the HARD drive would be ok, then I recommend to use the other drive like Win XP to format the whole HARD drive. You could also install the Win XP or other system just to test if the laptop and HARD drive are ok.

    If other systems would go, this would mean that the recovery discs are defective, and you should get in touch with the company where you bought this disc you should get another drive

    Hey,.

    C. Andres Lopez

    Hello

    Where did you get the drivers?
    As far as I know, this is an American unit and you must download the driver form Toshiba site us.
    The driver for the touchpad is NOT responsible for the FN keys and not the buttons of Toshiba.
    You need Toshiba controls to use the buttons. If you want to use the FN keys, you will need different drivers as Toshiba hotkey utility to use the FN + F5 key combination.

    But nevertheless I advise to use the Toshiba Recovery CD for this problem.

  • I need BIOS for Satellite A660 PSAW3E was last updated

    Hello world

    I have laptop
    Model A660 - 17 M

    Version of the BIOS 2.30

    And every time I run the program more agent bios it shows me that there is a new bios update
    and when I check drivers Toshiba it show me the same bios update that I run now

    Look at this picture that I took of bios agent web page

    I hope you can give me the last update of the bios

    > And each time I run the program more agent bios it shows me that there is a new bios update

    The bios agent plus the program is a 3rd party software and not Toshiba certified application.

    In addition, latest updates BIOS for laptops Toshiba EU models can be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

    I checked this page and the BIOS 2.30 is the latest BIOS for this model, and this means that your BIOS is already up-to-date.

    LAT, but no less Toshiba provides own sofware called Toshiba Service Station and this tool informs you about the actual updates

  • Toshiba Stor.E D10 on Satellite A660 PSAW3E esata connection

    Hello!!!

    A few days ago, I bought a 1.5 to Toshiba Stor.E D10 eSATA HARD drive.
    I tried to connect it via the eSATA cable. At first I saw my D10 HDD 1.5 in Win explore (Win 7 Home Premium x 64) as drive E.
    When I tried to access the drive, I get a "device not ready" error I was expecting 5 minutes with HARD drive connected externally. I got the same error. When you look in the Device Manager in the records section I couldn't see it. All I see is the internal 640 GB HARD drive.
    When I connect it via the USB 2.0 connection, the drive is recognized and working properly. I could transfer data to this subject with 23MBps max on USB 2.0 speed is 60MBps (480 Mbps).
    As I work with huge video files (~ 10 GB per hour of video) I need an eSATA connection to expedite the transfer.

  • Satellite A660 - will not start initialize drive HARD failure

    Hello
    first of all thank you for your time.

    Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)

    The problem started yesterday, the computer has been going slowly as a closed application, so I held the off button until the pc is turned off. When I restarded the laptop, it went to a screen saying: start windows normally or repair Windows (recommended)

    When started normally it hangs just a blank screen, repair Windows recommends a system restore to a previous point that did not work. As it crashes again. I tried pressing F8 and boot in safe mode, but even once it just hangs. Then, after having repeatedly tried safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After that, the computer passes in front of the Toshiba logo with F2 and F12 options screen (which still works) and then it rises the initialization has failed then shuts off and comes with start-up bootfailed failed with a few numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box entitled menu starting with 4 options. These are some
    Toshiba MK6465GSX HDD/SSD
    CD/DVD MAST * UJ141ES ABD - CMB
    FLOPPY DRIVE
    LAN

    If I press ESC, it passes through the loop of bootfailed and ends at the same screen, if I press on enter "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then he quickly returned to the screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] failed.

    I do not understand why it has gotten worse over time. Can anyone think why it occurred and more importantly, how can I get my pc working again? Note: held 0 then start does nothing for me atm

    Best regards, Matthew

    Hello Matthew,.

    To be honest, I agree with Akuma and it could be related to a dysfunction of HDD the error you described, but ensure 100% there s no software problem, you should try the Toshiba Recovery disk Windows installation. Something may be confused until the Windows installation and recovery of files on the HARD drive, so it cannot be started. Recovery disc will resolve this problem by formatting the HARD drive and restoring the settings box.

    If it still doesn t it work s hardware malfunction but an authorized service provider can solve these problems under warranty for free. So just contact the guy and ask for help. ;)

    If you have other questions or already solved the problem, please let us know!
