Satellite Pro U300 shows "Unmountable_Boot_Volume" message

I hope someone can help me...

I have a Satellite Pro U300 and recently she comes with a stop with the message Unmountable_Boot_Volume error screen.

Starting the machine, told me that windows did not start properly due to a problem of HW or SW. I gives me the options to start windows normally, go back to the last good configuration known or open in safe mode, however all these lead to the error message Unmountable_Boot_Volume.

I am responsible to ensure that all new HW or SW is installed correctly and disable them if necessary. However, I have not installed anything recently and the computer was working fine.

The error message appears for 4 seconds, and then the computer restarts and appears with the same startup message and continues in this circle reboot after each stop error message.

I'm not a computer whizz as you probably can, but I would be very happy if someone knows what happened to my computer!

Sometimes the file system can get damaged due to power outages or viruses or bad RAM.

First of all, you should check the disk for bad sectors. Run the test Advanced in DFT (it is a bootable CD or a floppy disk):
http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

Then, try to fix the file system by plugging the drive on another PC using a USB 2.5 "SATA HDD adapter. Run CHKDSK on the drive.

If this does not work, you can try to repair Windows by going to the Recovery Options in the Windows Start Menu (press F8 before Windows starts).

  • Satellite Pro U300: Error Message: cable is disconnected, but Lan cable is connected

    Hello

    I have problem with interface ethernet (wired) in my Satellite Pro U300. I use in many places (home, office, customers) and when I restore in sleep or hibernation mode interface ethernet shows that the * cable is disconnected *, despite the connection of the cable * is * connected and works perfectly with all other devices, laptops and PC.

    The switch also shows that the there no signal link. But re - activate the malfunctioning ethernet port, just disable the ethernet interface and then after 5s (1 s is too short!) turn on.

    Then a baloon in taskbar window indicates that there are 10 Mbit/s link, but actually, the link works at 100 Mbps (I can see it in the connection status window and the ethernet LEDs switch). This is the only laptop that has this kind of problems.

    I have the latest version of the installed ethernet 5.664.205.2007 driver on Win XP SP2.

    Is it possible I'm getting rid of turn on interface ethernet several times per day (except change laptop)?

    Hello

    I put t have a real solution but I have a few proposals of solution

    First of all, you should check in Device Manager if the network card has been properly recognized. The Ethernet card should be listed under network without any yellow exclamation point cards.

    If the network adapter has been properly recognized, then the next step should be checking the properties of the LAN connection.
    There, you should check the properties of the TCP/IP protocol.
    The settings such as IP address automatically get & address of DNS server automatically get must be marked.

  • Satellite Pro U300 BIOS update BACK

    Anyone know if I can upgrade the BIOS of my Satellite Pro u300 from a floppy boot BACK, or another way to do an update without Windows? The downloaded utility seems to work only in Windows, I do not use.

    No, you can not day BACK because Toshiba driver BIOS European page provides only the version of the BIOS win.

    For an update of the BIOS BACK you would need an update of the special BIOS that is not published on the page and is available for Toshiba technicians!

    Hello

    When you use FN + F11 small control LED must be lit and the keypad must be enabled.
    If your laptop is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image this option SHOULD work correctly.

    So nobody here knows what you did with your laptop and why these options are not available more.
    Before you start with advice how to get this working again once please let us know what operating system is preinstalled on your Satellite Pro U400.

    Hi all

    My Satellite Pro U300-14R detects no audio. I tried almost everything to solve this problem, including the update of the BIOS, driver sound driver chipset, etc.

    Still, there is no sound in my system. Not at all even when I load the sound system.

    Hope that someone would be able to help me.

    You must install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, because it contains important fixes for the sound card drivers.

  • Satellite Pro U300 OS does not recognize PS/2 Port TouchPad

    I have a similar problem.

    My system doesn't recognize that the PS/2 Port TouchPad exists on my Satellite Pro U300. He acknowledges that it no longer works but when I go to Control Panel then mouse it does not appear in the list of devices.

    Help!

    Hello

    I m do not know what problem describe you exactly.
    Do you mean that your notebook computer touchpad no longer works, or did you mean the USB mouse?

    If you mean touchpad, so you should try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad.
    The European driver Toshiba page provides Synaptics touchpad drivers series Pro U300 for Win XP and Vista.
    But generally the operating system should automatically recognize the touchpad and touchpad should work even using the common internal Windows driver.

  • Satellite Pro U300 (PSU31E) - freezes on the Welcome screen

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U300 model no notebook 01900REN PSU31E purchased as new and connected to Windows XP.

    It worked perfectly fine for about a year until very recently when it started freezing on blue welcome screen. I had to disconnect the battery because it has not proceeded past the blue welcome screen. I ran the antivirus avast but it nothing of the detected note. Now even when I disconnect and reconnect the battery the screen does not go beyond the Welcome screen blue even if the mouse is moved again, and occasionally the pointer arrow-pointer to sand-clock pointer initially and then rest as arrow-pointer changes. Pressing buttons, Ctrl + Alt + Delete, using the mouse or the battery are not any good.

    I backed up things but not until recently. Please help me, I'm an amateur like these sorts of things, I'm English teacher from teaching professional so I really need materials and capabilities of the laptop. What should I do, please help!

    Thanking you in advance,

    Hey the view,.

    Have you tried the same thing in safe mode? Go to the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Safe mode.
    Check it!

    It of really difficult to say why this is happening but if it doesn t work I think that it s time to reinstall Windows. So take the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot from it. If you follow the instructions on the screen you get factory in minutes! :)

  • Satellite Pro U300 - the broken LCD screen

    Hi all

    My first post please bare with me.

    I have a Satellite Pro U300, who has a broken LCD screen.
    I have a replacement screen, but not sure how to go abouts it change places.

    Someone at - it a service manual for this model or the tricks and tips on how to disassemble the unit to swap the LCD broke with a new one?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The service manual can be downloaded. It s not for the public and it s only for Toshiba and approved providers available I think.
    On the Toshiba site, you can download the user manual, but I doubt it would be useful for you.

    I think the best way would be if you go to an authorized service provider. The exchange of the LCD is a little tricky and you should have experience with this.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search for an ASP. I m sure that the technicians will help you. ;)

  • Can not install the latest driver from Intel on my Satellite Pro U300-10 display

    Hello

    Intel has recently, a new display driver, which I think is useful to me because it won't let me play games that require:
    Pixel Shader PS1.1
    Vertex Shader VS 1.0
    "Act of war" and others.

    The pilot is the revision of the pilot: 15.12.4.1666, March 5, 2009
    It is supossed to be the latest driver for the video card U300: MOBILE INTEL 965 Express chipset family.

    The problem is that when I try to install, I have an error that says: "not for this system, ask your provider manufacturer.

    How can I install or where I could find the solution?

    I have TOSHIBA Satellite Pro U300-10 with Windows Vista Business 32.

    Drivers designed for laptops are changed and adapted to provide performance fairly, but not to force a graphics card to run on the limit. As you probably know there are big difference between office and mobile graphics cards.

    Desktop graphics cards have no limits with cooling and drivers can be updated very often. Design of portable computers is completely different and all hardware components are placed on the square. The common problem with laptops is to design the system of cooling, small but effective.
    Because of all these reasons, display drivers must be tested and adapted by the laptop manufacturers. The main point is to protect the material. The same situation is with other manufacturers of graphics card. They don't offer drivers for laptops.

    If your graphics card will blow that will be responsible for this Toshiba or Intel?

    By the way: Satellite Pro U300 is for me a laptop of small business and certainly not designed for games. Do you agree with me?

  • Re: Satellite Pro U300: critical battery Vista hibernate problem

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E and have problems with the critical level of batteries and hibernation since I got it.

    It comes with Vista Business

    Critical battery level is set at 2% - is the the strage thing if I hit Hibernate mode (via the power button or start > Hibernate) it have hibernated ok - even at 2% remaining battery. However if I leave it to do this automatically (via the action of critical battery and critical battery level Windows) he died just in hibernation - looks like it ran out of power. The only way I can operate automatically through Windows is by setting the battery level critical to 8% (he dies still in hibernation on what whether it is less than 8%).

    Normally you would just say ok the critical low level must be higher but one) why when I Hibernate manually less than 8% is working perefectly and b) put 8% loses me a good a few minutes! and (c) especially the computer or the battery do not think they are flat at 8% - then, the problem is that it allows you to restart. When the computer starts less than 8%, he has already missed his firm critical point 8% so then just down and down with no further action of the battery until it dies. My XP laptop would be closed, then the computer would know the battery is flat and do not allow a restart up to the critical load of 3%.

    What is one thing Vista or Toshiba?

    Probably not the battery I have 2 with exactly the same problem

    I have all the latest drivers for the power and Vista SP1 and latest version of the BIOS

    Thank you

    Hi David

    I think it s not a Vista problem or question Satellite U300.

    The point is that the OS Vista needs a lot of resources and more energy than the older Microsoft operating systems.

    Always is it that same laptop with pre-installed Win XP would be a lot more time using the power of the battery as with Vista OS.
    Vista is a monster and he eats all the material resources.

    This means that if you use the Vista operating system, you must set the parameters of critical battery at a higher level to make sure that your laptop (Vista OS) would end Hibernate process correctly.

    I think that the last 2% of the battery power is simply not enough to put the laptop into hibernation mode.

    So don't worry, relax and enjoy your beautiful baby ;)

  • Satellite Pro U300: Low resolution on external LCD screen and a station

    I've got Satellite Pro U300 and LCD HP1907v and PA3542E-2PRP - docking station.

    When I connect external LCD for laptop - resolution is OK (1440 x 900). But when I connect the external LCD display in a docking station - the resolution is lower(), I can't change it, and I don't have some display options under Fn + F5 (that I had when I passed this lcd directly to the laptop).

    Help me find a solution, please!

    Yes. Latest Dynadock software must be installed.
    I checked the hardware specifications of the dynadock with DVI-d port and DVI supports a maximum external resolution UXGA (1,600 x 1,200) 24-bit.

  • Satellite Pro U300: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

    Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

    Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

    Hello

    You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

    On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

    The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

    I found this on the page of Intel:
