• Satellite C50 won't boot to the top

  Hello

  My son satellite C50 won't boot to the top. It is connected to the power grid and will arrive at the password screen but as soon as you type goes into shutdown. Any suggestions please?

  Thanks in advance.

  You write about Windows or BIOS password?

  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to give an exact explanation what can be wrong there.
  Your son of many important data stored on this machine? If this isn't the case, you should try to reinstall the OS and test it with the factory settings.

  What you can try is to enter the BIOS settings and leave the machine 5 minutes to see if cell phone will go OFF. If this isn't the case, set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  Is the cooling fan may be strong at the start of the machine?

• Satellite M40-237: CD Boot does not not + is possible startup USB key drive

  * Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E) *.

  I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is now formatted. So as usual, boot from the Windows CD is necessary to start the instalation but it does not start. I never had problems like this, always worked boot. It's as if there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it works on another PC).

  -J' have the latest version of the BIOS
  -The BIOS detects the optical drive and everything is ok, HARD is the ODD main drive is secondary
  -J' tried selecting the boot priority, with F12 and/or the BIOS setting but it works anyway

  What could be the problem here? Drive does not properly (hopefully, that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive I have (...) before, but it reads the disc normally and as I said start was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a bit, disconnected it and it put. Is there something more, what can I do?

  I'll try to find someone who has the player that fits so I can try with that one, but who knows when is what will be.

  Now, here's the second question, which I've linked to this. Because my laptop is practically useless now (I can't install anything), is it possible to boot from a:
  (a) optical drive USB external
  (b) USB flash drive

  BIOS on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HARD drive / CD / floppy / network. But I red somewhere this FDD = USB legacy emulation is enabled.

  If that is correct, I should just plug in the USB key and select FDD as boot option? If I can't find a USB optical drive, I thought make it bootable USB flash drive and copy the installation of windows xp on it. So once it starts in DOS I start just the installer from the key.

  TNX

  First I must say that the initialization of memory flash USB (USB key) is not possible and you shouldn't t waste time to try this.

  With regard to your reader of CD/DVD boot problem
  Well, it s really strange, it sounds a bit like a sort of master/slave/c-salt settings problem. But generally, you should get an error IDE (#0 or #1) if one of the devices (ODD or HARD disk) would not be recognized?  :|
  This whole thing seems mysteriously
  There may be a firmware issue

  Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
  He went into the BIOS and set the BIOS default settings.
  This has contributed to

  This is a suggestion, but I'm really putting t know if it helps.

  Hello

• Satellite M40: message: can not play because the DVD decoder is not installed

  not serious... I am back... I did a little reading and tried to read another cd in the drive and the message came to say "can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed, so I guess that's the problem because I have a recovery * DVD *.» Anyone know where I can find a dvd for a Satellite M40 decoder?

  > can't play because the dvd decoder is not installed
  This message appears if you want to play DVD movies with an application like Windows Media Player that has no (plug-in) installed DVD decoder.
  Usually the DVD can be played with special programs like WinDVD or PowerDVD for example!

  But this DVD decoder has nothing to do with the Toshiba Recovery DVD and the fact your new DVD Player cannot read the recovery DVDs.

• Satellite A30 won't boot to the top

  My computer does not start at the top. Yesterday, I had the blue screen but then restarted and everything was OK. Woke up this morning to the computer does not start. I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. I got the Toshiba screen, then the black screen to choose 'Start normally', 'last good settings', 'safe mode', "safe mode with network" etc.

  I chose normal startup, then I get the Windows XP screen with the blue bar. When that has been loaded, he went back to the initial screen for Toshiba and then continues to repeat. I also tried safe mode, but that charge or the other.

  What should I do? I don't want to erase the hard drive because there a lot of important data (family photos, work) etc. Please help me

  Thank you!

  You can remove the HARD 2.5 laptop drive and you can connect it via USB to another PC. Then you may be able to save any important files.
  After this procedure the plug back in the HARD drive and boot from the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

• Satellite L350 won't boot to the top

  Satellite L350 my daughter does not start. When you press the power button, the HARD drive light and there is no HD activity. Something that was noted is that the battery is fully charged a couple of days, but today when I tried to boot up the laptop, the battery led shows that it is unloaded. Does anyone know a remedy to fix the problem?

  Sorry, but I still don t understand what happening exactly when you try to start the laptop.
  Remove the battery and connect the laptop on AC power only. When you do this press power button to start the laptop.

  What exactly happens? You don't see anything on the screen?

• Re: My Satellite P200 won't boot to the top

  Hi all
  Noobie here,
  I think I caused a problem wher my P200, it won't start, it was very slow and I went into the Task Manager and deleted some programs that were not running, but using the memory.
  In my view, there is a good chance I can I have deleted something that the system needs because it will not load upward.
  I turn it on and I get a light on the HARD drive to the front and a light in the dvd drive, but nothing else, I tried pressing F8 and put the recovery disc in but nothing?

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Appreciate any help.
  John

  I guess you are using the "F8" key to access Windows boot options and Windows is not to leave you. If this of * definitely * the case, then you must insert the recovery CD and change the device to boot from the screen as the laptop boot - can't remember which affects it is than its displayed on the bottom line. I think its possible that W7 can be repair o the problem and a full installation will be unnecessary

• My Satellite 2410 won't boot to the top

  Hello

  My funny hard Satellite because last week, but today it seems to really have given up... when I boot I get a screen that gives you the ability to start in: safe mode, safe mode with the mode of networking, security with guest orders, the last know config, and start windows normally, but no way can you select this error message appears :

  Windows didn't start because the following file is missing or damaged \windows\system\config\system you can try to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original CD-Rom. Select 'r' setup in the first screen to start repair.

  I have the original disc to start but I can't boot from the CD drive and when I press 'r' in the first screen, nothing happens it loads just backward on this black page that tells me I have an error.

  Any help would be appreciated, I have all the files I need sustained if I just need to know how can I reformat from here.

  Thank you
  C_J

  Hello

  First of all the good news: it seems that there s nothing wrong with the equipment and the installation of the new operating system should solve small problems starting.

  And now for the bad news: I think you need to format the HARD drive and you will lose the files and stored information.

  > I have the original disc of starting but I can t he can start from the CD drive
  How have you tried to boot from the CD? Don t press the R key, but you have to either press F12 for the Boot Manager or press the C key immediately after starting the laptop. (The CD should be pre-installed)

• Satellite A10 won't boot up - bad sectors on HARD drive

  Hallo,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A10
  Model No.: PSA10E-018EZ-DU

  The problem is that you comp. won't start.
  There are some areas of bad or damaged HD
  I ran chkdsk a few weeks ago, it has helped but now there are still problems.
  If chkdsk is running again.
  Is there a better program to check your HD or should I do something else?

  A new HD?
  What kind of HD am I looking for?
  is a HD for a nootbook oke?
  Or are there restrictions for a HD satellite A10?

  Puts goede groeten

  HEY Kees,

  There are other utilities that you can use to check your hard disk (Norton Disk Doctor for example) but CHKDSK is as good as all the others.

  If you get repeated hard disk problems, then this is a good indication to a new hard drive. I suggest you try to backup your data even if you can't always. I'm not aware of any restrictions on the ability of any hard drive that you choose for your A10, but it must of course be the same as your existing drive form factor. You can also consider using a drive with a speed higher than the original drive.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A300 won't boot to the top

  Hi guys

  I m atm overseas, so I really want to try to solve this problem by myself.

  OK I watched a movie yesterday and that it ended the laptop locked up, it doesn't allow me to ctr, alt, del nothing...
  So I waited a few minutes and tried again to ctr, alt, del still frozen. Press and hold the power for a few seconds and I stop it like that. When it restarts I chose mode without failure, but when I was asked for my password the keyboard wouldn t work very I couldn t type it.

  I had to use my external mouse and close the power option.
  I chose normal mode the next time it restarts, but it sat on the screen of vista just until the password is displayed for hours.

  Is that what I do guys?

  Thanks John

  I'm scared at the end you must install Vista again.
  What do you think of this option?

• Satellite Pro P100 - cannot boot from external USB DVD

  My internal DVD player on my Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 failed, and my windows is broken.
  So I bought an external DVD drive to boot from, so I can recover the system using the product recovery DVD.

  Now, he actually goes ahead and starts from the DVD. But once in the setup it gives me the message: "ERROR: file Setenv.ini D:\Setenv.ini or X:\Tools\Setenv.ini not found!

  So I went ahead and checked if the file was... it was... but it is on Drive E:\ (probably because it's a USB device I'm starting from)

  -J' did some research and found that I needed to run the command: X:\tools\recogui /FE: say the recovery my files were actually on drive E:-which has helped a little... until I got a new error where it was always looking for the *. TPA file on drive D: eventhough I have via recogui had specified otherwise.

  Now what do I do to understand everything is to the recoveryprocedure on drive E: and not D:, as he seems to think?

  As I am in the middle of a period of review, quick response would be GREATLY appreciated :)

  Bad new boyfriend!
  Boot from external DVD USB drive is NOT possible!

  You can start only from the inside, ODD, HARD, LAN disk and external USB FDD (floppy)
