• Satellite L300 - fails during the installation of recovery

  Today I took delivery of a recovery disk bright, shiny, new, directly at Toshiba. I was under the impreession it would erase all HDD and recreate a factory install with the recovery of HARD drive partition (which is what I want), but it fails every time in the same place with the following error message:

  [WARNING] W\:Sources\Boot.wim [unzip the file: (seq. 90)-> file corrupted block at offset D 024 8020]

  Any ideas how to solve this problem, or I've been waiting for 2 weeks for a failed CD?

  TA, Fred

  Hello

  I also have Satellite L300, but never had a problem with the Toshiba restore disk.

  What happens if you install Windows using a disc of Microsoft? It works or you get an error message too? If so, it could be a hardware problem, HDD, RAM, or something else.

  Also I've read here in the forum that it sometimes useful to format the whole HARD drive before using the Toshiba recovery disc.

• After sleeping Satellite L850 fails at startup

  After sleep, my laptop Satellite L850 fails to start. I have to remove the battery and reinstall it to allow commissioning.

• Satellite L300 - fails to start and freezes

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba L300 Salelite, comes up with the screen saying: Windows could not start because of a recent hardware or software change might be the cause, the options are to run the Startup Repair (which freezes when selected, screen goes fuzzy), or to start windows normally, which also causes screen freeze and go blurry.

  I tried to connect to an external monitor, but same thing happens.

  Op system is XP, laptop computer is about 15 months.

  Hey,.

  If startup repair freezes too I think that Windows Setup is confusing upward and you need to reinstall the system

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can start to recover to factory settings. The disk will wipe the entire HARD drive and reinstalling Windows all drivers with the tools of the recovery image on the disc. Just follow the instructions on the screen, most is done automatically, should click on next sometimes all that s! :)

• Satellite A10 - failed at startup, check the system, then press F1

  Hi, I have this laptop old to repair.

  Main problem is that it starts. Display errors after all start-up:

  -#1 error - broken cdrom IDE
  -Check the system, then press F1 - ppl say it's a low cmos battery
  -File Boot.ini file is missing - is unable to repair itself, so that the CD does not work.

  Now, it looks like this. I turn on the laptop, shows the toshiba welcome screen, then theres the boot.ini of message end missing, begin on c:/windows and bam the phone keeps reseting showing again and again the same error. When I press ESC theres the message check system, then press F1 or IDE #1 - random error.

  If anyone has had this problem, Ive looked on the internet but did not get a decent answer, what to do with these cases.
  Looking forward to some good quality advice :)

  Hey,.

  I think the case is clear: Windows may start t because the boot.ini file is missing. You would be able to repair this file or reinstall Windows, but your work isn't CD player I think you need to replace the CD/DVD drive to get rid of this error.

  Then contact an authorized service provider, or take a look on eBay for second hand parts. Maybe you can find a compatible CD/DVD player that will work.
  Then you can boot from the Windows disc and repair Windows System.

  Of course, you can also restore factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery disk, but as a result, you must work of CD/DVD drive. ;)

• Satellite L300: Failed to retrieve - unexpected i/o error has occurred

  Help, please...

  I'm trying to restore the orginal through recovery process.
  After pressing F8 at start-up stage and chose to restore the system, he thinks about it, and then comes back with the following error;

  STATUS: 0XC00000E9
  INFO: An unexpected i/o error has occurred

  There is also an explanation it may be due to an external device that has not been properly disconnected or a hardware error.

  I have nothing plugged and restarting the system several times to try to resolve the problem. I also tried to re-boot last secure configuration, but this has not helped (although now gave me my card back like this so that other issues have been a problem - that is why the desire to recover the original system settings).

  Any advice would be greatly apprciated.

  Thank you.

• Satellite L300 - driver Open Webcam fail. Restart the computer or the camera

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Satellite L300 under Windows Vista Home Premium SP1. The Webcam worked fine for a few days and then the next time I booted up Vista, I get the following error "Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. Since the computer is new I reformatted to see if it wasn t a program is blocking something.

  Reformat 2 times and the error still ride on the installation of the Camera Assistant Software for Toshiba. I downloaded the update from Toshiba support file but still the same error. The funny thing is that the Device Manager does not detect even the webcam. There is no registration for the webcam. How will I know that it is a hardware problem? Does anyone have experience with this problem?

  The store that I bought it offered to give me a new, but do not have any in stock, so I have to wait 3 weeks.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The webcam must be listed in the Device Manager. It s not called not webcam but you should find it in the imagery of the devices-> USB video device

  The webcam should work fine. Usually after installing the webcam software, you should find the webcam software in the MSCONFIG-> startup
  If the webcam is listed here then that would mean that the software/driver webcam still load during a laptop boot procedure.

  In some cases there could be a compatibility issue between this software and a 3rd party applications like MS messenger or Skype for example.

  In your case, I recommend you to disable the webcam and other applications such as MS messenger or Skype software in MSCONFIG-> startup.
  Then clean the BONES and the registry using the CCLeaner.

  I also recommend the Vista update to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed!

  Finally if you want to use the webcam then you could start the software manually.
  Exe file must be placed in Camera Assistant Software.

  Best regards

• Satellite L300-29V - failed to initialize for the logon process

  Hello

  Trying to upgrade my Satellite L300 - 29V Vista Home Premium to the Toshiba provided Win 7 Home premium with the help of the upgrade DVD Toshiba. I tried this many times now with no success. On each attempt, I get the message "* logon process initialization failed - the Interactive logon process initialization has failed. For more details, please see the event log. "*.

  At this point, the mouse is active, but none of the keyboard keys control apart from the pointer appears only on the area of the event, enter and esc. Pressure on one of them or by clicking on the OK button or Cancel will be empty of the screen. A minute later, the blue screen of death will be appear and disappear quickly, after that, I have the option load Win 7 or return to Win Vista. Do go back to Vista (which I did several times that I care to remember) is not a problem and the laptop runs without problem later. At any time I am able to view the event log.

  I followed the instructions given by the upgrade DVD, IE. removing the drivers and continued on the upgrade to Windows 7. I've updated the mobile site to download drivers/software Toshiba in order to have the machine as much upto date possible - everything to nothing is outside having more drivers to remove using the upgrade DVD.

  The only thing I did is to back up my data and recover Vista to factory settings and load on top of Vista in this way.

  But before that I'm looking for the Forum of Toshiba for any useful advice - someone else has had this problem or does anyone know a way around this - if so I would appreciate your help.

  See you soon

  Dleifynot

  It is really strange. I've updated Qosmio x 300 and Satellite A500 by using Toshiba upgrade kit.
  No problem at all.

  Did you follow instruction as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P60000R01.htm?

• Satellite L300 - T2FTP Windows sockets of initialization failed

  After login, I get the following message:

  T2FTP Windows sockets of initialization failed

  At the same time, the system issues a message that he has found a new unknown device and the driver must be installed.

  Before that I did NOT add a new hardware device.

  Click the button start only generates a message: Windows Explorer does not react.
  It is impossible to call any other routine.

  Unfortunately I can not find my recovery CDROM.

  Are there opportunities to save my system?

  Toshiba Satellite L300 model PSLB8E

  Hello

  I never met such a problem. Have you installed any programs recently? It seems that the software related issue. To be honest, it is sometimes easier to reinstall the operating system than to try to fix it.

• Re: Failed to start with Satellite L300

  Hello
  I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L300 Windows Vista,
  I recently had my browser (Google Chrome) freeze so that the page that I was on was using Java.
  I went to reset, but once Vista began to start it would not go beyond the loading bar.
  Then, I went to boot from a drive to install Vista and met the same problem.

  I tried to start with the controller Mode SATA changed compatibility.
  This allowed the Vista disc load up successfully but did not allow for options but command prompt and from the Startup Repair.
  I ran Startup Repair twice and that Vista would load to the top of the loading bar then reset and loop this model.
  I don't know where to go from here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Brad Winn.

  Hello

  Perhaps, your laptop is infected with the virus, and you cannot load windows. You can search and find a software like Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0.0.506 Emergency Bootable CD and search for viruses. I wonder why you could not start Vista drive in AHCI Sata Controller Mode, I know the sata drivers are already integrated into Vista.

  Run "bootsect/nt60 ALL" into the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Wait and eject the Vista disc, reboot. Hope, it helps to have you tried to install from hard drive recovery image?

• Satellite L300-110 - Webcam driver open fail

  Helloe everyone,

  I have the Satellite L300-110, and I have a problem with the webcam after installing Windows7.

  The error:
  Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  The camera works fine and appear in Device Manager as Chicony USB 2.0 Camera.

  However, I can use the face recognition.

  Anyone know the cause.

  Hey Buddy,

  Did you check the forum for similar discussions/problems? It doesn t seem so because you will find enough referred to this problem.
  Then use the forum search and read similar topics.

  In any case, you should try to update the driver for the webcam and the BIOS. Both can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

• Satellite L300 - power fail

  I have two Satellite L300 (2 different models), but I had several failures of the supplies provided.

  The first computer laptop power supply has failed in the first week, the replacement, the supplier sent me (Ebuyer) did not work at all. After several weeks of disputes with Ebuyer I gave up and bought a replacement on Ebay. One failed after a week, but the replacement of one still works fine (after several months).

  First, the second power supply for laptop does not have after 8 months or more. It was very easy to get a replacement that I bought this laptop from Currys and thetechguys support was very good. However this replacement power supply for failed just before Christmas, only a few weeks after the warranty of 1 year has ended.

  I was extremely unlucky, or there is an inherent problem with feeds and L300 laptop computers.

  Everyone else had similar experiences?

  Any ideas of what I should buy to try to avoid more power power failures?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Interesting what s announcement mate but I can't agree with you. I m using the Satellite L300 too but for 1 year. I use it every day to check e-mail, Internet, etc.. I never had a problem with the laptop power or power. Everything works correctly and nothing has been changed because they.

  I think in your case you didn't have the chance. Normally after so little time you can get a replacement free of charge of an authorized service because it s under warranty. From Toshiba Web site displays a list of authorized service providers and the guys are friendly and always try to help you.

  I hope I could help a little and as you can see it's not a common problem.

• Satellite L300 and WXP - driver Webcam open fail

  Hello

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 with no OS installed. I managed to install windows XP and all the sounds/videos... drivers successfully, but after installing the driver for the webcam appears an error that says: Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer.

  I rebooted the computer several times, but it still does not work. Please help me.

  Hi, I'm having a similar problem (see previous thread), you can actually see the webcam in Device Manager? There is also a known issue if it's just the driver, do a search on this forum, it seems to be a common problem.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L300 - recovery wipes C drive then fails to rebuild

  My Satellite L300 has come back to Toshiba for repair under warranty and before you have the ability to burn recovery discs came with the BSOD. Removed the hard drive and placed in a SATA cradle and ran chkdsk which repaired insofar as (back in the laptop) I could at least go to the Recovery Console.

  I chose back to the Toshiba factory condition (or something similar - don't remember the exact wording). Fast C screen came up and everything seemed to go well until he came up with an error. He retried two times but the error / notice of default came twice. Tried to reboot in safe mode but not bootmgr. Again removed the drive and placed it in the SATA cradle and the C partition seems to have been deleted.

  No windows installation at all, is it possible to run recovery Toshiba (departure and now 0 does nothing)?

  A Windows Vista recovery disc anything or allow me to access Toshiba Recovery is impossible?

  Any ideas? Help, please!

  Hi mate,

  Wait a minute, please! What error message you get exactly and what you mean exactly with the SATA docking station?

  Laptops vary between countries, so what L300 you have exactly? This is important because the HARD drive recovery works different on computers cell phones or let's say there are different ways it starts.

  > With no windows installation at all, is possible to run recovery Toshiba (departure and now 0 does nothing)?
  Another question: how you want to start the HARD drive recovery process so now Windows is installed? ;)
  Right, that s is not possible!

  In your case, I would order a new recovery disk. You must contact the ASP in your country!
