Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

Hello

hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

* "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

It offers the possibility of:
"* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
No problem at all.

    Have you installed original recovery image that you created on the USB key?

    Please try to install it again. Usually after installation of the own image of recovery your laptop should boot correctly.

    Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

    You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
    As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
    Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

    Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
    By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
    And then you could boot from the new CD.

    > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk

    This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

  • Satellite C650 cannot start Windows

    Hi and thanks for reading this post.

    I had a Satellite C650 laptop with Windows 7 and inside the h2o bios, works fine for about a year now. The problem, as this post came yesterday when I was using the laptop as usual. At one point, it seemed that the computer worked very hard (fan noise, could not click on anything) and it lasted about a minute or two until what I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, who don't do anything. 5 minutes later an error window pops up saying that CTRL + Atl + Del could not be run at this time. I could not click on anything whatsoever and a s Malwarebyte (anti-malware software) had opened, although I couldn't read what he says since I couldn't click on anything. I held the power until the computer closed and proceeded to restart.

    A window asking me if I wanted to start windows normally, I said yes, but after the Toshiba usual loading screen, nothing happened (blue screen dark without the usual windows start icon) I left it running for 15 minutes, but still nothing. He retried a couple of times off the computer with the power button (this time is not to ask me if I wanted to run windows normally) and still the same thing.

    For some strange reason, I can not start mode safe mode using f8 because f8 simply do nothing. Tried the f2 boot configuration, but nothing seems to be no relief at the moment.

    Thanks a lot if you can provide some tips on how to solve this problem.

    -Vincent

    Hello

    Pressing F2 should allow you to access the BIOS.
    The F2 key must be pressed immediately after that the laptop has been powered.
    It work? You can access the BIOS?

    If this is not possible, you can pass the hypothesis that this could be a hardware problem.
    In the worst cases that the motherboard may be affected or device connected to the motherboard as RAM.

    Solution? Good RAM could be verified using new modules, but if you have no spare parts available for this test, then I recommend to ask a technician for verification of material.

    Your warranty is valid? If so, don t waste time and get in touch with the service people.

  • 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 L300-19F starts not-cannot start Windows

    My mobile no dΘmarre, "cannot start Windows. "To solve the problem: restart with the recovery CD.

    I can do that, but first of all, I don't want to try to save the data (and photos) from a hard disk.
    Is it possible, for example, go to BACK when booting with the recovery CD, and copy the data on USB?

    Furthermore, all my data on E:\ partition. Will be crushed it during the installation of recovery?

    Please notify. Kind regards.

    > Is it possible, for example, go to BACK when booting with the recovery CD, and copy the data on USB?
    No, it is not possible!
    If you should start up using recovery disc then the recovery process would be started and the whole HARD disk may be formatted!

    You can try to start by using a WinPE

    Have you checked if the WLan switch on the side of the laptop is on? This switch activates and deactivates the WLan led. If this is not enough, I guess that there is a hardware problem. Perhaps some loose contacts, for example.
    This can be corrected with any software update, I think that the technician should take a look in the notebook and should check this

    _*@chris4o*_
    First of all it s very strange that your laptop has not delivered with any Windows operating system! Each new Toshiba notebook was shipped with the Windows operating system and the image of Toshiba should be already preinstalled.
    In addition, you should find the Toshiba Recovery CD in the package. This CD contains all the drivers Toshiba, tools, Windows OS and additional software!

    With regard to the pixel dead;
    Usually the internal laptop display can be replaced if a large amount of dead pixels would be displayed on the screen. There is an exactly information about replacing the screen.

    Please check this:
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm

    In any case, I recommend you really clarify this two issues from your laptop dealer! The laptop must have the OS!

    After you install a windows update, my computer cannot start windows, when I boot it.  It seems the windows files.  I don't have a recovery disk (lesson).  I have windows vista, is there anyway to restore windows on my PC other than buying the software.  I confess that I do not download updates often... that is why... It's always trouble.

    Hi, MooreTM,

    Brand and model of your computer, please.  Thank you.

    (1) you are able to start safe mode and do a system restore?

    Start the computer

    Start typing F8

    Select Mode safe mode with networking

    What a load Safe Mode, start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > SafeMode

    Select a date and time before the Windows update that caused the problem

    (2) start Windows and tapping F11 key

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

    What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

    I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

    Hello

    1st thing to try is a restoration of the system in safe mode

    http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
    4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
    5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
    6. Do whatever tasks you need and when you are done, reboot to return to normal mode.
