Satellite Pro M30 - menu Windows cannot start

Hello

I have a problem where I can't start something on my computer.
I seem to have two operating systems that come up at startup fistly

When I turn on the computer it freezes for centuries, then says failed 0203 IDE #2 I think it's because as my hard drive broke and I replaced it then I get two options
go to the BIOS or boot menu.

If I boot and I start an another two options either a bad install of windows xp pro, or a bad installation of Windows XP
no work, I can't get into all the bios settings by using the command mode without fail fast or any of these options and it seems to work when I try boot discs to erase the hard drive or the bios boot disks.

I'm almost was to buy a new hardrive that this would maybe cheaper to fix, any help? I no im a beginner but I will be back for all solutions,.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

0203 IDE #2 error is displayed because the device connected to the second IDE controller is not recognized by the BIOS.
This means that there is something wrong with the IDE controller or the connected device.
In most cases it s a CD/DVD drive which is broken.

In this case, the replacement is necessary, but you must use the STRANGE fully compatible!
Not all CD/DVD drives are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.

Now you say that you are not able to access the BIOS
Have you tried the right key? Press F2 during switching on laptop.
This should help.

But if you are still not able to access the BIOS, then that means that your motherboard is affected
The motherboard is one of the parts expensive laptop the laptop seems to be a good old classic in my opinion it s not worth to replace.

    Hello

    In your case, I would try to install the latest driver for the webcam of Toshiba. Install this driver and try again. Also, make sure that this latest version of the BIOS is installed for your laptop.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same problem happens on Vista. You should try it with the factory settings. So that you can identify if it s a hardware or software problem.

  • Satellite Pro P300-19 q - cannot start with a new memory

    So, I want to add 2 GB of RAM to 2 GB existing. I use Windows 7 64-bit. In the BIOS, I see 4 GB of memory, but windows won't start.

    When removing the old memory and leaving the new, the computer isn't even strats. Some info:
    Old memory - Samsung M4 70T5663QZ3-CF7 2 GB DDR2 - 800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333 MHz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266 MHz)
    New memory - Spectek DDR2 2 GB PC6400 800 MHz 200 pin

    So, what's the problem? And what can I do?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Theoretically, it should be possible to use 4 GB in this notebook.

    The new RAM is the manufacturing of Spectek. This production does not for me. For me, looks not dear noname module.

    I always use Kingston modules to upgrade my laptop. I've never had any problems with these modules, so you should try it to.
    I think that the new module isn't compatible with your laptop.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 & Power Saver stop error

    Hello!

    I am struggling with this problem for months... the latest version of Eve on my toshiba satellite pro m30 running windows xp with service pack 1 installed gives a message box with an error message when the stop and I'm unable to eliminate this error. Unfortunately, I can't consider reinstall the system from scratch, because there are many other applications installed and I can't lose the settings for them. I read the forums and realized I'm not one of the problems with toshiba power saver. I'm even lucky to successfully at startup started it! Yet, it hangs at shutdown. It's pretty boring. also, I downloaded all the latest updates of this site for my laptop, including even the bios update.

    I would like the opportunity to be able to download the version without toshiba this site energy saving bug, and I'm sure many other people would appreciate the patch too!

    any comment on that?

    Andrew.

    Hello

    If your laptop is installed correctly it should work well. All the software has been tested. The only reason for your problem may be additional software that you have installed later.

    It is also possible that it may be caused by an Antivirus application. Maybe an application runs in the background? There are many reasons that may be responsible for this problem.

    If you reinstall your Notebook of recovery CD it will not work properly. It is very unjustifiable to write on some versions bug-free. I sometimes have problems with BONES, but almost always after using some freeware.

  • Satellite M30: Windows cannot start because a file is missing

    Error message: Windows cannot start because a file is missing.
    \Windows\system32\config\system

    You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.

    How to use recovery cd for this... It does not work.

    Hello

    It's not easy to use the repair mode because the recovery image file CD. The other way is that you try to start the operating system is the safe mode and look if the lack of files exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think that the only way is to recover the system with the recovery CD.

    Hello

    I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

    I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
    Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

  • Toshiba satellite pro m30 USB problem

    I have toshiba satellite pro m30 and HP scanjet 4600 scanner.when I connect the scanner directly to the notebok with its ' original usb cable there is no problem. But if I connect the scanner to the laptop with a laptop usb extension cable cannot initialize the scanner. There is no problem if I connect the scanner to the VAIO laptop with usb extension cable. What can I do?

    Hello

    could you describe the difference between the original USB cable and the USB extension cable?

    The laptop and the printer works correctly with the original USB cable, but it seems that the extension USB cable is an inexpensive which does not fulfill the technical specifications and the laptop has a problem with this issue.

    To solve the problem in my opinion you could do an update of the BIOS, look if for your printer is a new driver available and reinstall the USB drivers.

    Also, you could test whether USB, the same problem occurs with other cables.
