Tecra A9 - formatted and now will not start

I recently formatted my Tecra A9.
Trying to remember exactly what I did.

I used the system recovery disk, went to the Recovery Wizard. Then I had a few options, and I took the low that was to erase all data from the hard drive. It took about 12 hours.

Now, my laptop does not recognize the system, my Vista Ultimate o/s disk recovery disk or my drive of Windows XP o/s. I also can't get into the BIOS.

When I turn on the laptop I get the Toshiba screen, where, at the bottom, I see the following icons: disc, usb, CD, floppy, network. Boot order, I guess. When this screen disappears, I get a black screen saying: "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready... »

I hope somenoe could get an idea of what I can do.

Thank you
Kurt

Hi all. I had a very difficult time to find out who the current key was to get to the BIOS. I thought it was DEL or F5 or F8, (based on the messages that I had found in various forums, I could find nothing in the actual documentation of Toshiba). It turns out that the access key is ESC. I went, changed the boot order and am trying to install Windows 7.

  • Update Windows xp caused my computer blue screen and now will not start.

    It's really annoying because I have important files on this computer work and can't afford to get in shape!   I put my confidence in using windows and keep it updated.   During the installation of your updates, it made my system fails and does not restart.   I'll be very upset if this update of windows xp causes me to have to reformat and lose important files!

    Any advice on a solution?   I need to get this computer work as soon as POSSIBLE.

    I ordered the Dell XP disc and did the re-install. It works fine now. The Dell technical support had me do some updates on the web as well. I have not had problems since. What happened with the automatic updates completely wiped out my operating system. At least I don't have to buy a new computer.

    If nothing else works, try reinstalling your operating system. It worked for me.

    Windows 7 operating system.  tried system restore (all the recovery tools fail), tried the battery leaving aside all night, says now "no HDD found".  What should I do? What is wrong with him?  Should I try to boot from a USB key containing a boot file?  The big question is how can I recover my important files?

    Ok. Finally saved Rufus on desk, placed the iso HirensBootCD file on the desktop, used to burn it to a blank USB Rufus (by selecting the thumbdrive you want to use under "device", select "Partition for BIOS MBR scheme" for the partition scheme, select "FAT32" to the file, 64 k for "cluster size" system, then down 3 boxes must be checked.)  Make sure that you select "ISO Image" and click on the small icon next to make it burn your HirensBootCD.iso file, click Start, burn it, because of CD/HDD) then plugged the laptop thumbdrive is crushed, ensured he was set to boot from USB and good to go.  MiniXP selected and I'm now recover all my files from the HARD drive.   SO, this is the procedure to recover my data, thank God, but what is the solution permanently to repair the laptop?  He needs to have a new operating system installed?

  • Vista 64 return failure - now will not start

    For about a week, my system would auto-update and rebooted... but Windows Explorer could not function if I would return to a previous state. But this morning when I tried to return it never completed.  After more than an hour, I have concluded that he had failed and attempted to restart. No luck. Now, does not start. I don't have a recovery disc, so decided to upgrade... bought Windows 7 (64 bit), but before I installed it, I read that I'll lose data (Outlook, etc) and need to reconfigure/reinstall all software.  No there is no way of starting from a generic, temporary operating system and then ask him to come back at a time where my original OS worked well?  I would then be the transition to Windows 7 the simple and smooth way, keep all the settings program and data, etc.

    Furthermore, I read emails via webmail from verizon on another pc, without going through Outlook.

    UPDATE: sorry to take so long... I decided to bite the bullet and install the new operating system (also changed for Windows 7-64), and then reinstall all the software and settings.  In it, I bought an SSD for C: and moved the boot drive initial one of the removable slots, allowing to recover all Outlook email and folders, files etc.  Overall, it was a major event, but now that it's over I'm pleased with the results.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

  • "Error message: Verifing DMI pool Data data ', 'Boot from CD' and Vista will not start.

    Vista will not start. Yesterday I had a remote assist of a tech trade SPS who took several Java updates and installed the recommended Java version. Until I left work the day I closed my computer so that he could install the updates from Microsoft. After the updates were finished I he turned and left for the day. When I arrived this morning, I had was a black screen and 2 lines of text following: 'Verifing DMI pool data' and 'Boot from CD' and a cursor flashing beneath them. I downloaded and executed a Western Digital utility that showed no problems with the hard drive, put in on the installation disc repair service is no error. I did a system restore to a point since yesterday morning, and Vista still does not start. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hi JohnHorky,

    Step 1:

    First check and make sure that all physical connections on the computer are correct.

    Step 2:

    Alternatively, you can try to run a Checkdisk and check.

    a. Insert the installation disc.

    b. restart your computer.

    c. click on the Start button, click the arrow next to the button lock and then click on restart. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    d. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt

    f. at a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER

    Chkdsk /f /r X: (drive letter)

    Note: When you run the checkdisk, there are risks of data loss you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    g. press y when you are prompted to check the drive the next time the system restarts.

    h. close all applications and restart the computer.

    Note: When you run the disk check, there are chances of losing data if you can take a backup before starting the checkdisk.

    Step 3:

    Check if the automatic hard drive in the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) is enabled and save settings and check if it works. If it doesn't, contact the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    I also suggest that you install the latest update of the basic system of input/output (BIOS) on the computer by contacting the manufacturer of the computer and check if it helps.

    Important: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Hope this information is useful.

    Maybe your power outage also gives you a bucket of malware load?  They say things happen in threes, maybe that your machine is about to die.
