• Tecra M4 boot problem - missing or damaged ntoskernl

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M4 running Windows XP Tablet Edition, which fails to start due to "a missing or corrupt ntoskrnl.exe. According to the MS website I can solve it using the installation disc, but I don't have one that I bought the laptop from my employer when I retired. I was told that my installation is legal and have the license number.

  I tried to get a Toshiba drive, but it seems that the machine is too old.

  Anyone know where I can get a drive to. If it is not possible to find the same version of the operating system can I can use an installation disk XP Pro standard (I could buy on the Internet), even though my system is the tablet edition. I don't want to take the risk to wipe my data, because even though I have most of the stuff saved there are has some important issues that are not.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Yes, that is a known issue regarding the ntoskrnl file and you need a Microsoft Windows disk to fix this problem in the repair console.

  Are familiar you with Windows repair console? I ask this question because you need to use the DOS command line based to solve this problem, there are GUI. If so ask a friend if they have such a drive and normally the professional XP disk should also work.

  Otherwise, you will have to reinstall the whole system :(

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what is the problem, but in my opinion, it may be material defect. You built in hardware components like new memory RAM or HARD drive?

  If you are so happy your Tecra you can contact the Service partner. They can check and detect if there is some part of material defect.

• Tecra S10 - 123 and Linux Mandriva boot problem

  I have a Tecra S10 - 123 for two months and wanted to install Mandriva on it (I have no experience with Linux...). I burn the Image on Cd image .iso file and changed the bios settings to boot from the CD-ROM. It works without problem, but Mandriva stops to boot from the Live Cd once the kernel is loaded.

  What can I do?

  Maybe it's a SATA question, have you tried to set the SATA Mode in the BIOS to "COMPATIBILITY"?

  Work the other flavors of Linux? Maybe Ubuntu will install properly.

• Gravity is HARD on my Tecra M1 disk problem?

  I have a Tecra M1, 1.6 GHz, MS Windows Xp sp2.
  Last week, I posted a message to describe the problem of my computer. He started very slowly every time I restarted the computer. I logged on and there were Windows to notice that my system has problems.

  I ran several application software and a full blue screen came out with some opinions, such as

  KERNEL_STARK_INPAGE_ERROR

  .
  STOP.

  I reinstalled the OS using the supplied CD receovery. My computer seems to be OK.

  However, I installed the version of Norton Partition Margic (NPM) 8.0 to creat 1 driver more and the NPM has noticed that:
  «NPM has detected an error 116 on the boot partition at sector 58605120 on disk 1 (the C driver, I invited).» The co-leads starting logical block (LBA) is 58605120 and the value of the lost head sector (CHS) is 1643493. The value of the LBA and CHS must be equal.

  I know not how the probblem is and what is NPM to use to set the value of the CHS.

  Are there any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

Everything works fine on windows, but I want to reinstall my OS, but I can't boot from the external floppy drive or a cd player... How can I solve this problem? I edited my bios to boot from the floppy drive, cdrom and HDD, but it does not start, the cd is bootable etc... How can I solve this?

  Hey,.

  When you have changed the former in an ew reader, what was the same model or a better? As SD-R2002 or
  DVD PA3014E-1DVD player Kit
  PA3015U-1CDD 24 x CD-ROM Drive Kit II
  PA3068U - 1 CD 1 CD-R/RW Drive Kit
  PA3073E - 1 CD 2 CD-RW/DVD-ROM Drive Kit

  These disk are supported by the Tecra 8200 series. Another Selcet Bay drive can also adapt!

  It can also help to do a BIOS update unless the old one was not installed!

• Re: BIOS version 3.30 Tecra A11/M11: problems with Ubuntu systems?

  I just got the updated BIOS version 3.30 on my Tecra A11/M11 invitation.
  I'm still under Win7 now, but plan to add a dual boot with Ubuntu when the next LTS strikes in April.

  Is anyone having problems with the new BIOS?
  Should I upgrade or leave intact 3.20?

  I don't find any evidence of trouble with 3,20.

  Why upgrade BIOS if everything is OK?

  In addition to as much as I know that Toshiba can't stand not the Linux operating system, and I doubt that the new BIOS would improve any Linux performance so, if you are satisfied with the version 3.20, stay with that

• Tecra A2 - mouse problems

  I have some problems with the external mouse on my tecra A2. The pointer seem to 'jump', sometimes across the screen, and it's pretty boring. I'm not sure of what the cause of the problem and still less what to do about it... The mouse is a Logitech optical mouse. I tried to change to a similar mouse but that did not help...
  What should I do?

  Hello

  Try disabling the touchpad through FN + F9. Did you try it with mouse just wireless? You can try it with the mouse that is connected with a cable?

  Sometimes I have the same problem, but it happens if the batteries are empty or if the mouse signal receiver is placed on the wrong place.

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Satellite PRO C660 - 1LR Boot problem

  Had this laptop for a little less than 2 months, was in course of running really slow so I backed up my data and do a factory reset, during the reset of the machine restarts automatically several times. After about 6 reboots everything I got a black with a cursor screen (ctrl + alt + delete does not work), the cursor moves but nothing happens, I guess that something was wrong with the recovery so I id try again, only to find the menu F8 at boot is no longer list of computer repair. Ive tried to boot from a CD but when I press '0' and press F12 when prompted, nothing happens, I'll be just the screen windows mem test.

  Also, trying to get into the bios, I press F2 when prompted and the message very quickly becomes "HDD Recovery" then continues towards the screen of windows mem test.
  So im a bit stuck now, I tried to remove the power and battery all night, but that did not help either.

  Any suggestions how to get this working again?

  Hello

  You mean that you cannot access the BIOS?
  To access the BIOS, you will need to press F2, immediately after pressing the power button. You can press F2 repeatedly in the line to make sure it worked.

  > Ive tried to boot from a CD but when I press '0' and press F12 when prompted, nothing happens, I just go back to the screen of windows mem test.

  In order to boot from recovery disc, just press F12 (don t press the 0 key). This should allow the start on-screen menu. Then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as the boot source

  But this sounds like a hardware problem; I think memory or HARD drive problem so maybe that these two parts must be checked also.

  There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test that allows to test the HARD drive for errors

• Satellite L50D - Boot problems after replacing the hard drive

  I just upgraded my hard drive of the pathetic crod 5400 they provide to a SSHD@7200rpm, but now have a major issue.

  I initially image the operating system from the old hard drive to the new drive and have had chronic start-up problems (1-3-4 attempts to start to succeed if it fails at any time (often to the Toshiba start screen)).

  I reinstalled from a drive under Win 8.1 plain own ENT (trying to avoid the bloatware) and it is exactly the same number and is what I used to format the laptop very well with previously and had previously worked.

  I tried reformatting and reinstalling (by removing all partitions on each attempt) to the CSM, unsafe UEFI and UEFI secure. MCS is a straight line never works not proceed and both UEFI methods have the same exact result.

  I tried with original restore disks and it seems to work (not had time to fully test) but I don't want the bloatware and it shouldn't be serious since, if I were a customer who forgot to make restore disks (too often) and just have to have a failed hard drive or replaced sacrificed the laptop would be now a door stop.

  This seems as bad as Apple to lock people in.

  So I would appreciate ideas of people to please, I don't know if there is a program that is supposed to take place on a new drive as PS3 etc (I doubt it), but that leads me into the wall, and will be the last time that I consider Toshiba as anything other than a joke, if there is no solution.

  I had to replace the hard disks many times in my previous Toshiba laptops and were devoid of this crod, it has something to do with UEFI which seems more a nuisance than a help right now.

  TIA.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should first check if the startup problem is related to the new installed HARD drive or new installed system.
  You said that the laptop fails to start up often to the Toshiba start screen.

  The splash screen appears during the POST (power on self-test) procedure. During this test, the material will be checked.
  I m wondering if the hybrid SSD/HDD isn't recognised by the BIOS during this particular step.

  From my point of few, this could be the reason why the system cannot be started.

  Another important note:
  The 8.1 win requires enable start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode.
  Therefore, you must enable both options in the BIOS.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest BIOS version as latest firmware for the hybrid SSD/HDD
