Satellite C855D-12j - BSOD and HDD is not available

I have a Blue Screen Of Death (less blue with Windows 8) very often, and when restarting the computer does not find the HARD drive, I have to press the power button until it is cut and if I'm lucky, it identifies the HARD drive during the reboot.

I try to repair with the tools of Windows 8 but nothing change and it's the same BSOD when I try to install Windows 7 or Ubuntu.

I had to send my computer to support?

By default the BIOS settings and reinstall Win8 again. Test it and if it has same problem occurs again, I highly recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. It's the new notebook with valid warranty so it should be fixed for you.

BSOD can be related to hardware or even software so problems if the gift factory settings help t I think service should check it out.

    Hello Syed,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    This problem may occur because of damaged or missing Windows files. This can also happen if associated service is not running.

    I suggest you to check if the "Windows Management Instrumentation" service is running as set as Automatic.

    Please follow these steps:

    a. press Windows + R key, type services.msc in the immediate window and press ENTER.
    b. right click on "Windows Management Instrumentation" and click Properties.
    c. make sure that the service status is running and Startup type is automatic.
    d. If not, select the Startup type to Automatic and click on 'Start'.
    e. click apply and ok.

    If she did not help, run checker (SFC) of file system and see if it helps.
    Refer to this article:
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/929833

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    Note: It can ask the difficulty Windows installation DVD and allowing SFC to do more than minor repairs. Could some of the files saved on your computer are deleted when fixing corrupted files.

    I hope this information helps.

  • Satellite X 205-S9349 - second HDD are not bootable

    Hi all.
    I encountered a very strange error: my second HDD are not bootable, but only on my note (have 2 hard drives and I have installed Vista on the first and XP on the second). It worked well for about year.

    And once I worked in Vista, I've just going to boot XP and restarted just the note and it did not start more than just initialization on the post screen. It initializes everithing is nice and I can even manage BIOS but goes no further.

    After that, I tested each part if it does not my notes to start and this is the second HARD drive. I have tried to swich my HARD drives, but it does not work. Two SATA connectors work although I tested with the first HARD drive. If I comment on second HARD drive in BIOS, the system starts up nice, I can see the second HARD drive and work with it.
    But if this is not comment system does not further thant post-test after it initialized everithing!

    The strange is that it works well on my desk. Not a single problem with this HARD drive, I installed XP on it and it starts ok.
    I tried to format the HARD drive, in order to kill and create the partition, even to write own mbr... None of it worked)
    It still won't go note during an office is ok.

    Pls if people if anyone can help me with a post serious ideas here or send me an email - [email protected]

    Thank you

    How did you choose which OS should start?
    You use a boot manager?

    I have the Satellite Pro P300 with two hard drives (each with two partitions). On the fist one I installed Windows XP Home edition and Vista second. When I start my Windows laptop boot manager asks me what operating system I want to start.

    How it worked on your laptop?

  • 810-160 Phoenix envy: envy phoenix 810-160: try to install Win10 after BSOD and format; drivers not found

    A few weeks ago, I got the BSOD and could only reformat without saving. After a data recovery service ravaged my hard drive, I bought a new drive. My recovery disk is not found (my guess is the woman she pitched in one of his fits of cleaning). Of course, I have to re - install the operating system and bought Win10 home.

    I plugged the USB and started the installation, but now get a message that no driver device were found. It is a pain, but it makes sense. Went to the website of HP drivers on your laptop and downloaded all the drivers, it produces for my specific model.

    Where I'm stuck:

    I have a pop up that says "Windows Setup" and "Select the driver to install", with a window not populated. I plugged my USB key containing the drivers and found him - USB key (H.) I chose this drive and the folder where I placed the drivers. Click OK and I get the message "no device driver has been found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK. »

    If I have the drivers provided by HP and they are not recognized, how do I proceed?

    Hello:

    Make sure that you dΘmarrez from a USB 2 port.

    You will not be able to install Windows from a port USB3.

    If you have the W10 installation media in a USB 2 port, windows can you are looking for the sata controller driver, so see if it works...

    Download the drivers from this link below (first or second listed file - 1 file listed (64-bit).

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/download/25165/Intel-rapid-storage-technology-Intel-RST-RAID-driver

    Extract (copy) the files on a USB FlashDrive without all records.

    With the flash player and the installation media W10 plugged into the machine, boot from the W10 installation media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope, W10 will install.

  • Satellite A200-14F - standby and hibernation does not work

    Hello
    I bought A200-14th with Windows Vista preinstalled. When I switched to Windows XP, I discovered that the standby and hibernation works. When I try to switch to the standby screen becomes black, but power light gets not "Brown" as it should. It is blue. From time to time, HDD light flashes also.

    I tried to reinstall Windows twice, but it does not work every time. Once, I installed the drivers in some are specific as well as I did the job. But unfortunately I had to reinstall XP once more, and I do not remember that I should install the drivers.

    If you have had the similar problem please write what I have to do.

    Concerning

    Hello

    > When I switched to Windows XP, I discovered that does not work on standby and hibernation.
    After Installing Win XP, you must update the BIOS to the XP version.
    You should check the page European driver of Toshiba. There are BIOS for Win XP.

    After the BIOS update you reinstall Windows XP, the latest status update and install all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

  • Random BSOD and I do not know why.__Unable to load the image \SystemRoot\system32\ntoskrnl.exe, 0n2 error Win32

    I don't know why this is happening, but I'm getting random BSOD now and then. I tried to point out my system to see if it generates a BSOD, but multitasking 3d and photoshop programs and what's not stress, then when I least expect, BANG! BSOD.
    The last of them, that I had now was in the middle of the night with almost no programs running. The system had worked for some time (one or two days), but nothing was he pointing out at the same time.

    What I think happened was: our microwave shorted out and caused a fuse to blow. But it was on another grid in our House (I hope I make myself clear, because I'm not used to talk about stuff like this in English!) so it should not affect my computer. But at the same time my microwave said "Thank you for everything!" my computer would BSOD. The thing is that my modem, my switch, my router and my NAS is connected to the electric network and my short circuted of switch. And my computer is connected to the switch cable.
    This effect possible that excess tension (or something) has short circuted my switch and 'jumped' power to the switch and on the cable and sending there is a shock to my computer? Or am I just paranoid? Laughing out loud

    I know that the controllers are pushed to the limit of the memory and therefor tolerate very little when it comes to electricity. I ran MemTest4.00 14 passes but I came with nothing. But memtest that tests memory, not the controllers, right? I am watching a fried motherboard?

    I did a windb, but I don't understand what he says. Could someone please translate this for me and give me your opinion?
    In addition, when you run windb, it's tell me am I wrong symbols. -What this means, and where can I get the symbols he wants? And what symbols?

    Postal salvation,

    I think you're in luck. It chances are you are one of those rare cases where the BSOD may not be hardware related. In addition, it is actually pretty rare to have so many errors after a sfc... Wow. I think that alone has helped reduce the risk of an another BSOD and was good insurance against other problems.

    Do you have a chance to check the hard drive? Now, I would like to check the hard drive to see if there may be potential damage to the hard drive as well to help explain this number of errors (return to the material again).

    Here's how to new:

  • Satellite L300-1BW - BSOD and then the password at startup appeared

    Hello

    I'm new hear that ive just got a laptop Toshiba L300 - 1bw Windows vista, intel celeron.

    I changed the laptop on it gives the initial toshiba screen then goes to a blue screen and request a password.

    I tried f8 when turning on pc ive tried f12 and f2 but not anywhere (say at startup screen press f2 or f12) getting to the bottom of the joy.

    I called Toshiba with no joy.
    It was bought for me for Christmas but my boss lost reception and Toshiba said I could send to China, but it cost me money or buy the recovery disk.

    Of course, I don't want to pay these charges unless I need to.
    So does anyone know a way round to re install or move to the password option.

    Any help would be great
    Thanks in advance

    Nick

    Hello Nick

    Please do not be angry on me, but the whole story is completely strange. I don't understand what you mean.
    Best thing you can do is to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. They can remove the BIOS password for you. Of course, you must pay for it.
    If the laptop is bought legally it has no problem at all.

    Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone.

  • Satellite L300-245 - LAN and WLAN does not work

    I bought a laptop L300-254.
    I installed the LAN and the LAN driveres wireless, but none of them works.

    What is the problem?

    > I installed the LAN and the wireless LAN drivers, but none of them works.

    What does that mean? Are card WLan and LAN card not recognized in Device Manager? Are there near yellow exclamation points mentioned cards?

    Or maybe the WLan and LAN card are recognized correctly, but you cannot connect to the internet through WLan or LAN?

    In this case, you should check the router settings and configuration!
    For me, it looks like the issue of the router if the two connections (Wlan & Lan) n t work!

  • Satellite Pro P100: The extended warranty is not available?

    Hi, just about to buy a Satellite Pro P100, but when we look at the warranty I don't see this pattern on the list machines covered by the extended warranty available at Toshiba.

    Any ideas?

    It makes me a little nervous if Toshiba does not cover this model for extended warranty.

    Hello

    Did you mean Satellite Pro P100 or Satellite P100-xxx?
    I asked it because I don t find any laptops Satellite Pro P100 on the Toshiba site. Only Satellite P100-xxx are available and these books are very new. Maybe you checked the list of bad guaranteed?

    PS: I can t believe that the extended warranty is not available on this device.

  • Satellite L20-181: the WLan switch is not available - cannot activate the Wlan antenna

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L20-181 and I bought an Intel Mini PCI Wifi Pro/Wireless 2200BG so that I place it in the empty Mini PCI connector it has in order to have the wireless.

    While I placed it on a regular basis also antennas etc the Intel utility sends me a message that the network connection is disabled and that I should use the switch on the front panel of the laptop to turn it on.

    This switch located in the laptop from the front is a button that is not reinforced.

    Any ideas guys?

    Hello

    You may need to press the button?
    Also, I found a Satellite L20 manual on the Toshiba site and there I found information that the WLan functionality is not available on all models.

  • WLAN channels 12 and 13 are not available in Europe

    Hello

    If I run a German WindowsXP SP2 and VistaRC2 it is impossible to connect to access points using channels 12 and 13 which should be available in Europe.

    It is especially a problem when connecting to public access points where I can not change the configuration.

    All advice how to fix this problem?

    Thank you very much
    Dirk Roemer

    Hello

    Only 11 channels are used in the United States.
    So eventually the new Vista RC2 is not available to receive the 12 and 13 WiFi channel.
    He should know that the RC2 version is not the official final version of Vista and it contains more than 1500 bugs at this time. I think that this version contains the WLan standard values for the American market.

    In addition, Intel 9.x WLAN drivers implement a new specification that allows configurations specific to each country through access points (AP).
    If one of the APs in the range (not necessarily the AP, the wireless network adapter is connected to!) broadcast such a configuration countries, channels that are not allowed in this country, the Intel WLAN card will cease to use channels.
    In their default settings, APs supporting this specification will accept only channels 10 and 11.

  • Standby and Hibernate is not available

    I serve these functions for several years on my T40 2373-94U - until they have ceased to be available. Information Lenovo has not resolved the problem, not the internet in general. I have the latest version of the BIOS, and I think that the hibernation is enabled, but do not know what are the correct settings - so I'm using the default values. Power management software is up to date. Command powercfg info line shows that these functions are not available. I wonder if I should re-flashing the bios, or consider that other software (I don't know what on my system too complex) intervenes. Ideas and suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you

  • Help - what is and what is not available in free version of ESXi 3.5 U4?  VIMA?  VI Toolkit?

    Hello

    I'll try to find a (web page perhaps) summary of what is and especially what is NOT available in free version of ESXi 3.5 Embedded U4.

    Like many people I guess, I spent hours looking for a way to perform certain operations on virtual disks, to see that these operations have been banned in the free version of ESXi 3.5 U4.  It is reasonable, after all, if someone gives you a horse, don't look in his mouth!  But while I'm happy to be an ESXi 'amateur' to a certain extent, I'm starting to feel like a pirate, and I'm doing this a bit more productive experience.  Here's what I found so far:

    -Some of the most useful features in VMware Tools (such as 'narrowing of the virtual disks') seem to have no useful effect in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version

    -L' operation-e vmkfstools.pl RCLI to rename the virtual disk (moving) and the i - operation to clone (copy / import / export) a virtual disk seem to be disabled (due to lack of return. RestrictedVersion.summary)

    -vim - cmd does not provide what be good beyond what you can do in VI Client

    In particular, can someone tell me if it is interesting to study the following, that is I'll be able to do anything discs at all useful to the virtual with them in ESXi 3.5 U4 Embedded free version:

    -VIMA

    -VI Toolkit (for Windows)

    Thanks for any help/pointers.

    Take a look at this article: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/, it should provide general information on the ESXi set and the problem of read-only.

    As ESXi never was intended to provide full access to the VI API, you get what you pay for and in this case, you use the free version so that you can accomplish all of these tasks with the VI Client, if you want more, you'll have to pay for it.

    So first off, vim-cmd is only available with the unsuppoted SSH console and you can probably do most of the basic tasks through some scripted as a shell script automation, also in the console Busybox unsupported, you have full access to the very familiar vmkfstools. Now, you mention vmkfstools.pl is the remote version of the tool, because it is not available by default with ESXi (as the console does not support is not supported by VMware). To manage and configure your remote host ESX and ESXi, vCLI was created that replicates most of the popular esxcfg-* commands that use the API of VI

    This VI API is not free, you have full read access but if you want to set up/perform all operations that aren't will not be played, then you will need to have a license appropriate and which is at the Foundation or higher. The API is exposed as WSDL/SOAP and there are various scripts/languages with links that hang in the VI API to provide a level of abstractions for programmers, administrators, some of these languages include Microsoft Powershell, Perl, c#, Java, etc.

    PowerCLI (officially VI Toolkit Windows) is such a link that uses the VI API, i.e. to use it you will need to have the appropriate permit to change the configuration of other you will have only read access, it's similar to Perl called vSphere SDK for Perl bindings. So, if you're going to explore other routes, you will always encounter the same fundamental question.

    Okay, vMA (officially VIMA) is just a VAPP VMware RHEL that provides administrators a way to centrally manage / to distance your servers ESX/ESXi and vCenter. It comes by default with the vSphere THAT SDK Perl and a few other utilities to help manage/configure your systems and once again they depend on the VI API which access set based on the licenses that you have on your hosts.

    So all the options are options, but you need to know if you are going to get a license, because without the most basic, you will not be able to use one of these toolkits. Note that the license NOT only does full read/write access to the API but other features depending on the license you buy.

    There are other tools that provides VMware which, for now, temporarily has functions of management for virtual machines ONLY, this may change in the near future but take a look at this thread for more information post: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

    I hope that this clears up everything.

  • vSphere and VCB / license not available

    We went from Standard Edition VI3 to vSphere 4 Standard + Storage VMotion. Since then, the 1.5 VCB backup fails.

    I saw this message in the tasks of the vSphere client window:

    Task name: reconfigure the virtual machine

    Status: License not available for this operation

    When I click on the 'Détails' link I got the message that you can see on the screenshot.

    During execution of the backup VCB some messages "Reconfigure virtual computer" appear and are successful.

    We use VCB mode "hotadd" and both VCB (user and proxy) have all the rights in vCenter (for testing).

    This license (add hot VM?) or what else I miss? Like VMware hot add doesn't not part of vSphere standard, does this mean that our VI3 VCB Standard license went?

    No, I doubt that there is no difference in behavior between virtual and physical proxies. If your backups are working, I think that they are returning to the NDB mode rather than using hot add. If they do not work, set the type of transport to the next during business day that we are working on solving the problem.

    The question that we know currently has to do with VMware Data Recovery - this product uses the vcbAPI. However, the license error is the same.

    I don't know if there is a fix for VCB 1.5 in the works, so I would recommend that you produce the SR, then we can follow it.
