Satellite Pro U400 starts not-cannot start Windows

So I have no idea what caused this minute, it's nice, I look at things on the next screen thing 4od is empty and not coming back so I hold down the power button to restart and a black "windows boot manager" is displayed and I can not fundamentally get off this page...
It is said:
Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

1. Insert your windowsinstallation drive and restart your computer.
2. choose your language settings, and then click "next".
3. click on 'Repair yourconputer.'

If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc0000034
Info: the windows boot configuration data file is missing required information.

I do not have installation or recovery discs, I used another computer to burn a disc recovery ISO put it in and nothing happened.
I would like to ring toshiba but I don't have any minutes left this month and I don't have access to another fixed telephone/phone

I'm really confused as to what to do, each other times as my laptop is messed up, I just did a recovery of hard disk and restored to factory settings by clicking on f8 but it doesn't work this time

I can't afford a new laptop or taking it to be repaired so if anyone knows what I can do please help!

Thank you
Steph.

Oh I forgot to tell my computer toshiba laptop satellite pro u400
It came with windows vista preinstalled

Hello

I think it is just a software problem (Boot Manager).
Try to repair the operating system by using HARD disk recovery;
Press F8 why portable power.
Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

If this is not possible, order the disk recovery from here:
http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

Then, you will be able to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk

  • Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

    Hello

    6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

    The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

    Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

    This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

    Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

    Is this normal in a really new machine?

    Thank you

    First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
    But really to get so hot?

    Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
    But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

    You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

    What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

  • Touchpad on Satellite Pro P300 does not work with Windows 7

    Hello

    Recently, I load Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite Pro P300. I downloaded all the drivers for W7 64 bit and installed everything, fortunately, most of the time.

    The touchpad, however, is not completely functional. The upgrade page says to use the Vista drivers and did not provide any drivers for win7. Installing the Vista drivers didn't really go so well.

    In any case, the essential element of the missing features is this thing where you drag your finger up and down the right edge of the touchpad, and it scrolls for you. I can click and double click and move the slider. But I can't scroll. And it's such a pain with move the slider above the scroll bar of the application, with a big screen.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon
    '

    If I understand you right you are missing these additional mouse settings. Am I right about that?
    Which driver you have installed?
    Perhaps Synaptics driver?

  • Satellite Pro A10 does not pass the Windows page after removing SP2

    Hello

    I have a toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A10.
    I installed windows service pack 2 week last to try to get one of these dongles TNT to work, he never so I uninstalled service pack 2 I was going to try and reinstall it to see if it would work.

    Now, my problem is that the laptop will not go at all, it gets to the windows XP page and then everything stops, someone could help me I don't know what to do!

    Thank you
    Sharon

    Hi Sharon

    Seems that the system files are corrupted on the HARD drive.
    All of the installation and the removal of the service pack has damaged some files or registry entries.

    I don t think you will be able to resolve this situation without reinstalling the OS.
    In my opinion, it's a better way to get rid of this problem.

    Take the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall everything.
    If you want to back up your data, I recommend to connect the internal HARD drive to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro U400 starts - power problem?

    Hey,.

    my liquid U400 down without any reason and doesn't start anymore.
    My first idea was damage from CPU, but even if the laptop is taken to power the power led does not illuminate.

    (1) make U400 notebook work normally when the battery is removed, but pluged in power? Because if not maybe only the battery is broken.
    (2) any other ideas? :)

    Guarantee is more than 1 months :(

    Answer to your question is YES. You can remove the battery and use your laptop with AC power only. In most PC stores showing the rooms are placed laptop without battery. Probably the batteries have been stolen in the past.
    Anyway, they can run with AC power only.

    When you connect the laptop to the power plug and the power light is not on I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply.
    Contact the nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - sound of the wheel does not work anymore

    The wheel of sound control in my Satellite Pro U400 works not properly since last month.

    Now, I have to use the volume bar in Vista to adjust properly. When I try to lower the volume by turning the wheel, as I did before, he constantly increases the volume after reducing to a few percent. If I flip it is very very slow, sometimes it decreases the volume a little, but other times it increases. Also when I'm in a word processor, turn the wheel to the right input 'c' character ' on the screen.
    There is no problem when I try to increase the volume, it does its job.

    Do you think it is related to hardware or can it be a problem of driver or something. Is there a solution?

    Thank you

  • The update of the BIOS on Satellite Pro U400?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 (PSU41E) running Windows 7 x 64 and I try to update the BIOS to version 4.70 to 4.00.

    Whenever I try to do it from Windows using WinPhlash which comes with the download on the Toshiba site it seems to freeze when you try to Flash the new BIOS.
    I connected as the local administrator, tried to use other programs flash and even tried to do from a USB flash drive with no luck.

    Can someone please help me and explain how do I update the BIOS?

    Hello

    > tried to use other flash programs
    Never use other flash programs! In the worst case, you could damage the ROM module and then it must be replaced. Use only the program flash Toshiba that is tested and designed for laptop and the version of the BIOS.

    The update of the BIOS program is also designed for Windows, it s a Windows Update program.

    Satellite Pro U400 wasn t comes with Windows 7 so I guess you did your own installation. Value added package is required for the update of the BIOS program and can be downloaded on the European driver of Toshiba download page where is your laptop model:

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - Windows could not start, how to recover?

    I hope this is the right forum to display this property (if not, please let me know where I should post this) and nude w / a beginner like me. Any help or direction will be appreciated.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

    "Unable to start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
    2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    3. click on "repair your computer".

    If you do not have the disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

    Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
    My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
    PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

    Hi monstarika,

    You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
    If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

    If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V - Sharp noise when starting with connected screen

    Hello

    We received 5 x computers laptops Satellite Pro U400-11V, are excellent, with one exception:

    When you start (it happens on all of them) with a screen VGA monitor plugged in, a high beep is played from what looks like the speaker system. It occurs just before the first splash screen windows.

    Once the windows login screen is displayed a monitor can be connected to any problem & works very well.

    What can I check? I have had a look but do not find all the tracks so far, where this post.

    Thank you
    -A

    Perhaps you are meaning that the beep POST (Power on self test)?

    The laptop still sounds if the POST has been successfully passed.

    Parts of the motherboard will be verified during POST, and if everything is ok, a beep is displayed.

    If something would be a mistake, the laptop will not start and different beeps would appear.

  • Satellite Pro U400-13 a - starting problems

    The computer was working well until that last Wednesday when I modified the settings of advanced management power in how he reacted to the closing of the lid [hibernate] or pressing the power [on hold] button. Then, I closed the lid that I had to leave in a hurry.

    About 2 hours later, I opened the lid to take what I was doing and to a complete stop, but I got a partial summary leading to a bluescreen with the logo "XP" just to the right of Center and no home screen or directly in the Windows desktop as expected. Then, the computer does nothing.

    Pressing ALT + DEL shows that both operations are underway - "Windows logon" and "Connection", but the selection does nothing.
    I left the computer up to 6 hours, in the hope that it was a lengthy process that prevented it go further but still the same blue screen rest.

    I forced a shutdown by pressing the power and then restarted in the start menu [Safe Mode etc.].
    According to the boot option I then select [I tried all the] bothers me on the same position that I started with - blue screen with "XP" logo.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - does not start

    Hey all,.

    My Satellite Pro C650 boot not beyond a certain point. I tried to start in all modes different for example safe mode, mode of networking,

    However this proved unsuccessful, the laptop freezes and I meet a constant and regular beep at the same point every time that I try to start. I even tried to start Linux 12.04 USB to see if it's hardware or software, unfortunately is the same, which means hardware failure.

    The problem is that I don't know the bios beep codes and I can't understand what needs fixing.
    I was hoping you could help me!

    Thanks :)

    I think you need professional help with this problem. I don't know if your laptop is always guaranteed to be valid, but in my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and hardware malfunction can be detected and repaired.
