Satellite L40 - unable to boot after cloning HDD

• Satellite L40-139 cannot boot from CD

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 139 that comes with vista installed!
  A month ago, I installed XP and it worked well!

  Yesterday I had to reinstal XP and I chose clean instal CD and an installation process, I pressed the button to open the dvd player and you finish her!

  Stupid mistake! From there if I try to boot Windows from a dvd player and the process stops at: check the configuration of your hardware! - and white screen!
  Nothing happens!
  What can I do?

  Evrything else seems to work ok!
  There is no problem with dvd player, because he reads a recovery for vista CD!
  Help, please!

  This is a really silly situation. I'm sure that this info on the suspended installation is recorded in the MBR. I recommend you do the drive clean HARD everything including MBR.

  After this try to reuse the CD of Windows XP Home edition installations.

  Good luck!

• Satellite L40 - Wi - Fi connection after restart problem

  Hello

  My sister had a Toshiba Satellite L40 (PSL40E - 04501DDU) and a few days ago I installed a wireless router at home.
  Wi - Fi worked within 2 minutes, but when I restarted the laptop he couldn't find any Wi - Fi networks (whereas before I restarted, I found 4).

  It took me about an hour to make it work again
  -Turn off/on Wi - Fi
  -several reboots
  -deletion of a Wi - Fi connection - configs
  -switching between Vista Wi-Fi-tool and without configuration by Toshiba
  -updated drivers
  -etcetera...

  I don't know which of them did the trick, but after going through all these actions it seemed to work again.
  I thought I had conquered the problem, but only today (after only 1.5 days) my sister contacted me saying that the Wi - Fi 'fell down' again.

  Does anyone know what could be the problem?

  When I look in this forum I see about 1200-forum topics on the problems of Wifi on Toshiba laptops, so I guess it's a recurring problem with several models of Toshiba.
  Most of the subjects also speaks a Wifi works very well and doesn't work anymore after restart/sleep/hibernation.

  Laptop: PSL40E - 04501DDU
  OS: Windows Vista 32-bit (latest updates + latest drivers)

  (Please, no answers like: "is your DHCP on?") or "the router is compatible with the Wi - Fi device?")

  Hi crazysoul,.

  I understand that you don't know the answer to that, because you are not always there when the Wi - Fi fails, but if the laptop is not looking upwards * all * networks, the same as before?

  What WLAN driver version is installed on this laptop? The most recent is 7.6.0.164.1, it can be interesting to update. Also, forgive me if you already checked, but under network adapters Device Manager, find the device wireless and in the Properties window, if there is a power management make tab you unchecked the checkbox to turn off the device to save power.

• Satellite L40-139 can boot from a USB device?

  Hello

  I have a new L40-139. Looking through the BIOS I can't find an option to boot from a device USB like a USB HDD or USB flash drive. Could someone confirm if the L40-139 can boot from USB and is thus the configuration of the BIOS for this.

  If she can not someone knows if there are plans for a BIOS update that would allow this?

  I must admit that, although I love the L40, I am disappointed how to limit the BIOS is.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know, you cannot use USB HDD as first boot device. USB floppy Yes, but with external HARD disk drive, it won't work.

• Unable to boot after the update

  Nice day. Today I installed an update, but my power is out (are lucky me).

  Now my player starts and takes forever but expires and stops. I started in utility mode to reinstall el Captain but it shows my drive as locked. So I go to utilities to try to unlock the he but no hard drive does not appear (even if they do when I'm trying to reinstall from the web).

  I have a TM backup but it cannot find all the disks, so I can't pick it up to do a restore.

  An option or patches? Boot hd is in a year.

  Thx for any help

  Network reinstall of El Capitan

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. When the load utility Menu select install OSX.
  4. Click the continue button.

  This should reinstall OS X on the existing system without erasing the disc.

• Satellite P300 - freeze on Boot after POST

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my Satellite P300, my pc freeze (freeze) after the detection of devices.
  You can see a screenshot here: * http://uploads.siteduzero.com/files/253001_254000/253465.jpg *.

  I turned off of the battery during the night: nothing
  I connect the two G1 under memory for 30 min: nothing
  No matter what I do, it crashes at the same place.
  I tried to change the memory and the HARD drive, I'm sure they are OK

  How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you very much

  (I'm French: p)

  Hello AJAX,.

  > How can I make a clear CMOS on Satellite P300 please?
  This is not possible, mate.

  You can access the BIOS Setup when you press the F2 key?

  If this isn't the case I think that you already have what you can try and it seems to be a serious malfunction of equipment. So I contact nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. ;)

• Satellite U300 unable to operate after the Vista upgrade installation

  A couple of days, I did a Windows Vista upgrade on my laptop Satellite U300 and since that time, my computer does not work. He tried to self-diagnose this himself, he told me to shut down the computer and restart. I do that and then the! 0xc0190036! 4099/69249 (Security-Licensing-SLC-Component-SKU-Home...) appears with a black background. I tried to launch the product recovery disc but computer wouldn't it.

  Can someone offer me some tips?

  Kind regards

  Barry

  Hello

  It's very strange
  How have you tried to install the operating system recovery disc?

  Boot you from the CD and have you followed the instructions on the screen?
  Or what is exactly happening?

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the whole HARD drive and the laptop to the factory settings.
  In addition, the Vista is already activated and it s not necessary to put keys series.

  I see in the error message something about safety licenses. I m not very well what this may be, but perhaps could be a problem with activation, who knows?  :|
  But as I said above, the Vista on the recovery disk is already enabled.

• Satellite M40X 299: no boot after recovery

  Hello

  I have a problem with my satellite M40. After a problem with spy software, I tried to format my pc.
  I did a restore of the system with the original cd. At the end of the mind, I pressed ctrl + alt + delete to restart as it was written.
  But nothing happens, I have only a cursor in the upper left corner of the screen and windows does not start. I did the operation 3 times and it's always the same result.

  I don't know what more I can do.

  Thanks for help.

  Excuse me for my English

  It's very strange. Can you get the CD of Microsoft facilities and try to install the OS? I'm really interested if the same thing will happen again.

  Please don't be crazy on me because I t n wrote a few exact explanation but after recovery without end I've done in the last 8 years I have never seen anything like it.

  Hey,.

  Can you start in safe mode when you press the F8 key?

  If you don t have a recovery disc and can access t the start menu Windows Advanced, you can try a normal Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows.
  All the drivers and tools that you can download from the Toshiba page.

• Satellite L300 refuses to boot after BIOS update

  Hello

  L300 my girlfriend was terribly dragged so we decided to format C:. We did it with the XP restore disc that came with it.

  Then we had to update the drivers. We started the installation of upgrading the BIOS on Toshiba driver site, disappeared for a while and when we returned, the computer has restarted itself.

  He has been stuck in a cycle of the screen "loading windows" and one with a lower bar that says press F2 for this or F12 for this. Tried all the options in the start menu, not even safe mode works.

  We have tried to reformat with the previous method, by inserting the XP CD and by holding down the 'C' button when starting. We get the familiar "Windows Setup" screen, and it seems to load all the files from the CD windows installation. But when we come to the installation, we get a blue screen error message. "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer...". Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

  Nothing seems to work, please help! We really want to save the images on the disk D: partition.

  Hello

  Try to configure the BIOS to the default settings.
  You need to access the BIOS, and there you can set the default value.
  Please check if you can install the operating system by using the-> AHCI and compatible SATA mode.
  If you are using AHCI to include the SATA drivers. If you are using compatibility mode, then SATA drivers are not necessary.

  If you want to get access to the HARD disk before you install the operating system in the C partition, then I would recommend to start the laptop using a Windows Live CD WinPE and BartPe.
  Both are live CD what don t need an installation, you must boot from this drive only to access to content on the HARD drive.

• Unable to boot after Windows 7 update

  Product: HP Compaq 6000 Pro format microtour

  OS: Windows 7 (not sure 32 or 64-bit)

  I installed about 15 Windows updates last week, some of them is critical, then restarted and the computer was fine. This morning my computer was slow, so I restarted, and now I can't start. He keeps go to boot menu options. I tried...

  -Safe Mode

  -Mode low resolution

  -Last good known Configuration Mode

  All of these options to the same start menu cycle.

  HP Startup Repair finds problems with the disc, says he corrects, finishes, but doesn't change anything. Back the same start menu.

  I tried removing battery from motherboard and BIOS restore to factory settings - or solved the problem.

  Finally, tried to restart from the disc installation, but apparently for HP there is only the option to restore the default settings (erase all data) and no possibility to repair or return to an earlier date. I really, really, want to lose data if possible.
  
  Any ideas?

  RESOLVED: Ran Startup Repair, but this time took so I could look at the newspaper.
  
  Root cause found: System on the disk volume is damaged.
  Repair action: file system repair
  Result: Completed successfully.
  
  Yes!
  
  Still, would be nice to know if it can be avoided in the future.
