Satellite C850-B991 cannot start - check Media [Fail]

Hello

I have a problem with my laptop C850-B991 Satellite, I can't start Windows and get the message "Check Media [Fail]" on a black screen, I can not also start for the installation of windows media, or install a new version of windows.

How can I fix this please? I do not have the recovery media (DVD)

For some reason your HARD drive is not accessible.
You can enter the BIOS settings?

If Yes, set it please to the default settings and try again.
Check please if the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings.

    First remove the software from the webcam installed in the system.

    Hello

    Usually, you should be able to access the BIOS by pressing F2 when starting the unit.
    I can't say for sure, but it seems to me like a serious equipment malfunction if you are not able to access the BIOS.
    Such a material problem serious may be related to motherboard problems, but also modules of memory RAM.

    In case you are able to access the BIOS, check if the HARD drive is still visible on the first page of the BIOS.
    If the disk HARD isn't visible, then the laptop cannot find a bootable device and therefore no error checking media is displayed.

  • Satellite C850 - Windows cannot find my ATI HD 7610 M

    Hello

    I have a Satellite C850 PSKCCK 02D00M. Today, he has decided not to recognize the video card from HD7610M and was used to use the Standard VGA adapter. The installation of the last failed and drivers drunk ATI of factory. I can still use the computer as usual, except that the highest resolution is 1024 x 768.

    Earlier today, the content of the display acted I could see the cursor and the screen would react to the pressures on the keys, but the shown content was large blue blocks with details of large print tasks. I decided to start in safe mode and back, but it was not fixed. My laptop is unable to find the video adapter HD7610M since I deleted manually in the Device Manager in the hope that windows will pick it up and everything.

    Someone has an idea of what's going on? and most importantly, how to fix?

    Blessings,
    Spencer

    Hi Spencer

    In my opinion, you should install original recovery image and test it with the factory settings.
    Can you do this and post comments?
    What happens when you start your laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings? You can see everything as usual?

    Somehow, I feel that he can be a serious problem with graphics card.

  • Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

    Toshiba Satellite A660-158

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

    My problem:
    Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
    -----
    Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
    2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
    3. Select "repair your computer".
    If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

    Hey,.

    And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
    Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

    Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite M30: Windows cannot start because a file is missing

    Error message: Windows cannot start because a file is missing.
    \Windows\system32\config\system

    You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.

    How to use recovery cd for this... It does not work.

    Hello

    It's not easy to use the repair mode because the recovery image file CD. The other way is that you try to start the operating system is the safe mode and look if the lack of files exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think that the only way is to recover the system with the recovery CD.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E cannot start properly - PXE - E61: Media Test Failure

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    I decided to use the recovery cd to format my laptop and do a clean install, because it became very slow.
    It takes an age to start etc.

    I followed the instructions on the leaflet that was packaged with the CD and everything seems to work very well.
    The files seem to be loading but after abuot 7-8 minutes (about 15% in the process) is an error page came with the following.

    "For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8138/ 810 X PCI.
    PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
    "PXE - MOF: PXE Rom of output.

    I noticed that the power supply has been very hot and the bottom of the computer was also very hot so perhaps thought that the power supply is maybe defective. I had an another same PSU so tried again with this.

    Same problem again!
    Do you think that the hard drive is faulty? I haven't noticed any problems before, except for the slow response generally.

    I would be grateful for any useful comment.

    Hello

    This message usually if the laptop cannot find a bootable device and finally tires to boot from LAN.
    But if the boot to LAN is not possible then the message PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable would appear on the screen.

    Generally, this will happen if the HARD drive is not accessible (dead or defective) or the laptop cannot boot from the disc.

    I think that you should first check if it would be possible to solve this problem by using a new HARD drive.

    Goodbye & good luck

  • Satellite Pro M200 - cannot start Windows

    I have a Satellite Pro M200 PSMC4A, did an update Windows, requsted to restart, then the black screen as follows:
    Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. Equip the installtion disk and restart. Problem 1: having no disk - lost I think. Lost file is \Boot\BCD.

    Tried different legal remedies without success. Disk Windows XP used to reinstall but now says cannot see all hard drives!
    All of the suggestions.

    Hello

    You can access the advanced boot menu? If so, you should try to start in charge more than the last known good configuration.
    If this is not the only option is to reinstall Windows I think. Therefore, you can take a Microsoft or Toshiba drive. If you don t have the Toshiba disk recovery, contact the service provider authorized in your country.

    I think that the recognized HARD wasn t disc because you need SATA drivers. Did you check that?

  • Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

    So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
    Or could it be that the card is broken?

    Hello.

    For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
    Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
    Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

    If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

    That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

    Hello

    I had a similar problem on my computer but was able to fix it.
    I took my CD of Win XP and started the repair console.

    Then I used the command Chkdsk and scanned and repair files and sectors on the HARD disk.
    Then I used the Fixboot command. He writes a new boot sector on the system partition.
    Finally used Fixmbr command that repairs the boot partition's master boot code.

  • Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

    Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

    I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

    However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

    Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

    It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

    Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

    Thank you

    Adam.

    How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

  • Satellite M40-244 - cannot start from CD after driver change

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite M40-244 and the original DVD drive is faulty. So I changed the drive with one that is exactly the same (same brand, same date of manufacture).

    Under Windows, the new disk is recognized and works perfectly. However, when I try to boot from the CD, I am not able to do. I successfully changed the boot sequence in the bios, I tried all possible combinations without success.

    One thing I remember is that when I tried to boot from the faulty driver, I got the message 'Not bootable CD' (the tested CD is bootable and tested on other computers)

    Any idea anyone, I desperately need to install a new OS. :-(

    Hello

    I doubt that you can boot from CD t if your drive works properly in Windows...
    You can try another disc of starting, for example the Toshiba recovery disc or the disc from Microsoft, please?

    Alternative try to load the default settings in the BIOS.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED flashing orange

    Hello

    I have a weird problem that I can't solve.

    (1) when my Satellite Pro M10 the plugged AC adapter and the battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
    (2) when I try to turn it on, several times it not light and the dissepear of leds for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led flashes orange. Sometimes it lights up as it should be.
    _________
    When this problem occurs, it will take a lot of time before it turns normally. I searched the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.

    I already removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it does not solve the problem. Or when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.

    I also removed the two of them and you press the button power on for 60 seconds. After that, it will sometimes start with mains or battery adapter.

    My bios is updated to the latest version. (I've done this when he started only five minutes ago, but the problem is not resolved). I also believe that when the m10 is enabled and when I close it, it crashes also.

    Do anyone know how to solve the poblem? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    These problems are very rare and shouldn't t happen if hardware or software is ok.
    Power LED blinking orange means there could be a hardware malfunction.
    It is a code flashing microphone and a technician can be read.
    This code must be translated into the hexadecimal digit.

    But for ordinary users it s not able to know what it means. In my opinion a power electronic malfunctions and must be verified by an ASP.
