Satellite P10: Default at the disk - all solutions?

I had problems with my Satellite P10, with him taking ages to start, but now it will not go beyond the automatic test screen (where it shows the Toshiba logo). After that, she says that there is a potential flaw in the hard drive.

I ran through the laptop recovery disks but the same warning message appearing even though I deleted the hard drive...

I got a virus at some point, which could explain this...?

does anyone know what anyone else I can try? Or I'm going to purchase a new hard drive?

Thanks for your help!

Hello

I don't think that the virus might damage the HARD disc. Of course, the data and files could be damage but not the surface of HDD or sectors. These issues may occur because of the long use of HARD drive. It just happens.
If you are a lucky man, then it might be possible to use software as a generator of HARD drive. Such request repair bad sectors on hard drive surface.
Perhaps it will help you save the HARD drive.

If this isn't the case, so I think you need to replace the HARD drive.

  • I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

    I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
    Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

    I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

    So it must be a problem with the key.
    No idea what to do?

    Thanks for any help

    The best.

    If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
    In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

    But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

    After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

    Good luck

  • Satellite P10 - repair on the recovery disc option

    My Satellite P10 crashed, which suggests an error of hard disk may be imminent, I have a recovery disk, but it doesn't have a repair option, only a full recovery. As I would like to try to retrieve some data, is there a repair option, normally associated with these discs.
    If yes where can I get one?

    Thank you

    Recovery disc has no repair option. Recovery disk contains only the recovery image. Try to get the facilities of Microsoft CD and use the fix here. If you will not be able to repair the operating system pre-installed as a last option, you can use the recovery disk and install recovery image.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite P10: Question about the limits of upgrade of RAM and HARD drive

    What are the limits to upgrade my laptop Satellite P10? Currently, I use 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512) and I still have the original 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive. I'm mainly interested in upgrading my hard drive to at least get a 7200 RPM 100 GB disc. Better would be one of the ones 24 hours server as Hitachi HTE721010G9AT00, I have just turned off my computer. Which one to take and are there limits (BIOS) (keeping in mind that there will be 200 and even the 250 GB drives next year)?

    RAM: should I put two 200pin SO-DIMM 333 or 533 or should not change at all as it works very well and stabil now?

    Hello

    In my eyes you should follow the guidance of Toshiba line and must use the memory modules that are recommended in the user guide. But if you can also try to test with 400 Mhz or 533 Mhz. I think that each dealer notebook or memory could do that.

    I think the BIOS might be able to handle the hard drive with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB, Bus Master IDE with ultra DMA 100 synchronous
    In my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger HARD drive.

  • Satellite P10, internal keyboard: the key of the pipe doesn't work anymore

    Hello everyone!

    I have a Satellite P10 with WinXP (SP1) for about 1 year.
    Symptoms: it's the internal keyboard. I used the key pipe <|>indeed, not every day, but it worked. And suddenly, I see that it does no more: it is 'dead', while all other keys work correctly...

    My next steps:
    (1) I uninstalled the driver of standard keyboard (101/102 keys) or Microsoft Natural Keyboard (PS/2) keyboard, and were found after Windows starts. There is no material conflict under the Device Manager or the information system, the driver runs correctly...

    (2) the keyboard layout is German. But I have already tested the English (United States) too: the result is the same.

    Questions:
    (1) is the key physically damaged?
    (2) otherwise, what I can do to solve the problem? Where can I get a newer driver perhaps?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is not necessary to install a driver for keyboard. The driver is built into the OS. If the button is dead and doesn't work at all, it is probably defective.

  • Satellite 2140CDS: message: "insert the disk and press a key".

    Hello

    I got this laptop but the necessary update. I tried to put a master drive from my other laptop to update and it came with 'error' and now when I turned it back on it does nothing about it, totally blank and rpet "insert the disk and press a key".

    I've got everything I can think but still can not do anything.

    Please can someone help?

    Hello

    What do you mean with master drive? Do you mean the Toshiba Recovery CD or what?

    It seems that the laptop can not find a source of seed and so this message appears on the screen!

    If you use a FDD drive please check if the disk has been removed.

    You must simply insert your Toshiba Recovery CD and boot from the CD/DVD drive. That's all.

    PS: Check if the HARD drive isn't too bad, as if the internal HARD drive is malfunctioning you will not be able to reinstall the OS from the CD

  • Won't start not satellite M300 - system on the disk volume is damaged

    OK on the 1st...
    Today, I turn on my laptop but it just will not start until... stop just at the TOSHIBA LEADING INNOVATION he...
    and the drive light lit upwards or blink.

    After that I tried the several times, it starts.
    When I went into windows, IE opened, it hangs again.
    After a while a black screen with a mouse crusor only...

    I tried to turn it back on it... it comes out the window repair.
    after repair, he says that:
    "the system on the disk volume is damaged."
    'system QuickIN' file is repair.
    but always after some time, the problem came again...

    So I wonder what problem is that and what can I do to solve this problem?
    Is a software or hardware problem?

    Hello

    For me, this looks a bit like a HARD drive problem.
    I guess that HARD drive developed and the hardware error.

    Have you checked if the HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS?
    Do this!

    If the HARD drive is not visible in the BIOS then it would mean that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    Even if the HARD drive would be listed in the BIOS, you test another new HARD drive to check if the problem is not related to the failure of HARD drive.

  • Satellite P10-304: 2nd recovery disk does not work

    I'm selling my laptop.

    Went to use recovery of original product CD provided along with the PC.

    1 disc worked OK - unfortunately 2nd disc (undamaged) stops at about 60 percent and gives the following message;

    error number 437

    Help, please!?!

    I have a buyer waiting and everything seems to be Dutch!

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what's wrong with the 2nd recovery disk.
    I would recommend formatting the HARD drive completely and try again to recover the operating system. If it doesn't work, well try to contact Toshiba. Here, you can order the recovery CD. Maybe the problem of recovery will be solved as a gesture of goodwill.
    Nevertheless, the recovery cd is not expensive.

  • Satellite P10-304: USB Ports not recognize anything

    I have a Satellite P10-304 and the USB ports not recognize anything that are attached to them. Device Manager tells me that they are enbaled and works correctly. What can be wrong with them or what can I do?

    Hello

    One of my friends has the same unit on the work and everything works perfectly. It uses the USB hub too and have many external devices connected to the unit.

    By the way: something like who can occur if the external device is not removed correctly use safely remove hardware option. If you try to connect any other device after that in most cases it is not recognized at all. In this case, you can restart the device or remove ports from the Device Manager and use the hardware detection to find them again.

    Hi Cienciala

    If the reader is already installed and the modem is correctly listed in the Device Manager, do not try to install it again and again. I advise to enter the properties of the modem in the device and on the diagnosis tab Manager list, you can use Query modem and verify the results.

    If the modem does not work it may also be the configuration dial problem.
