Toshiba NB200 - startup problem (Windows XP) - unable to access safe mode

Hello

I have a laptop Toshiba NB200 with Windows XP. When I turned on, it would not start past the first screen and I couldn't make F8 safe mode.
The only thing I can do is go into the BIOS Setup, and that's all (press F12).

The BIOS recognizes the hard drive. Then, I created a USB stick to boot from and that made me a C: quick MSDOS having first changed the BIOS to read the USB first and also updated the BIOS (Phoenix v1.6).

I'm not clear as to what I do then in the folder c: prompt will not let me run windows and shows just the files on the USB key.
Should I copy the files from windows to the USB port? In addition, how will I know if the hard drive has failed and that it is unrecoverable (I hope not)?

Any guidance welcome!
Thank you

Hello

Eventually, there is no Windows OS on the HARD drive and therefore you can not start safe mode or the OS.
You have a recovery disk or you did backup the image of Toshiba on the USB flash key?

If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall the OS of the own Windows XP CD.
You could build a clean Windows XP USB flash stick that can reinstall the OS.
I think that this should be possible since you started the laptop backpack.

Here's a nice instruction how to do this:

  • Problem Windows XP Home - stuck in 'safe' mode - don't reset the normal start upward

    Hope someone can help me please.

    My laptop is stuck in 'safe' diagnostic mode and I can't get back to "Normal Mode - load all the drivers of devices and services"

    I am running Windows XP SP3 - Home edition (think it's 2002)

    I was uninstalling Norton Internet Security so I can install Kaspersky rather

    I put it in diagnostic mode after a few instructions, that I got from Internet regarding the delete correctly all files, Norton etc after uninstalling

    However, it will not return to the normal mode - even if I go into the System Configuration utility (to run msconfig) and I click Normal startup. He never actually starts in normal mode - even if it's on the normal radio button (sometimes it's on another option such as 'selective' or 'diagnostic'. Sometimes, I get a window on early upsaying that I am in the "diagnostic" mode and tells me to go up to the normal startup. I have it, but it doesn't fix it.

    I also cannot run a lot of things and, for example, cannot play music on YouTube. I tried Windows update also, but it does not work.

    This means that I've lost a large part of the functionality of my system - including the ability to install the Kaspersky Internet Security - so I have no anti virus etc.

    I tried to reset the dozen about 3 times and restarted following guests etc., but nothing works

    Can someone please?

  • "Windows Vista Security Center" close browser windows, precise I have a virus, and now no programs will be opened. Windows does not start in safe mode, and all the system restore points have already disappeared.

    Hello

    I have a Dell laptop under Windows Vista Premium. I got it for about three years, and he is upset enough ok tonight. In the middle of browsing the internet, check my email, etc., all but one of my browser windows close at random, and a message appears "windows vista Security Center" whenever I try to open a new window, blocking of the site and to say that the site is dangerous and my system has been infiltrated by a Trojan horse. Then he starts the scan and says that I must buy the full to get everything to work again. I closed everything, since I already have McAfee antivirus and internet security, but it does not, and neither did any other progams. I tried restarting in safe mode to restore a backup point, but Windows does not open in safe mode, rather stick for half an hour in the middle of loading. When I managed to start windows in normal mode, I found that all my past restore points had been erased.

    This happened to someone else, and it is fixable without wiping everything?

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Emma,

    This could be due to a virus on your computer.  Try to make a virus on your computer scan to check if your computer is infected.

    System Restore IS NOT the way to remove malware. The reason why you do not see the effects of the malware in safe mode is probably due to the fact that the process for most malware does not load in safe mode, and therefore not active.

    Restart the computer in Safe Mode with network. Click HERE. Download Malwarebytes. Update Malwarebytes and perform a full scan.  Choose to quarantine found nothing. Once completed click HERE and download Superantispyware Portable. Run a full scan quarantined found anything yet. Restart your computer in normal mode and perform a quick scan with Malwarebytes.

    You try to perform the factory restore?

    We do not recommend factory restore, because by the factory restore, you will lose all the data present in the computer. Factory restore will restore your computer to factory settings.

    I suggest that disconnect you all external devices except the keyboard and mouse, and then restart the computer. Leave the computer to complete the process and do not touch anything until the process is complete.

    Thanks in advance.
    Concerning

    AFAIK safe mode option is available if you open the advanced boot options, and you can do it if you use F8 at startup. Have you already tried?

    Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times.
    To be honest I put t have experience with this search.us.com but if you'll be able to start laptop in safe mode try roll back the OS a few days back to see if the problem persists.

    Hello

    1. you got speed broadband before without any problem?

    2. did you of recent changes on the system?

    3 Windows operating system you are using?

    Method 1:

    As the bandwidth works correctly in safe mode with networking, you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2:

    You can temporarily disable the third-party antivirus and firewall installed on the computer and try to install the drivers and see if that fixes the problem.

    If disabling the antivirus software solves the problem, you may need to configure the settings of the antivirus as a result program. Please contact the software vendor for assistance in this regard.

  • Firefox crashes at startup and invites me to enter in safe mode. I then uninstalled (version 19.0) and now Safemode itself will not open.

    Before you try to uninstall the version 19.0 and reinstall, Safemode was functional and usable. After you have reinstalled the version Firefox 19.0 will hang when starting upward, as it did before and asks me to open in safe mode. Safe mode then crash/no open and service of bug report will open. By clicking on "Restart" just open another windows service on top of a bug report. By clicking on the 'X' or 'Quit' is not, allowing me to leave the service window. Inability of Firefox to use correctly began shortly after the latest version of windows (installed during the next stop/restart) update at 01:00 on (I think) February 27 or 28. I have not tried to install an older version. I tried to launch the Beta 20.0 version, but I met the same exact problems. This is the only error code available to me, despite the sending of at least 5 or more. 'bp-b4a3d0ce-8747-46a9-9c04-efc892130302 '.

    This error code "bp-f6520eaa-36e4-4098-a2a0-c61c32130302" replaced the previous after I tested the beta of 20.0.

    Hope that helps.

    3. you receive an error message during the system check?

    I suggest that you run the CHKDSK utility by using the installation CD of Windows XP, which checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it. The command also marks bad sectors and recovers readable information.

    You will need to access the recovery console to run Chkdsk.

    You can use the following options:

    CHKDSK /p Performs a comprehensive check of the drive and corrects any errors.
    CHKDSK /r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.

  • TV connected via the VGA input to HDMI don't get no signal after preparing the Windows message, works fine in safe mode

    Original title: PC to tv connection / VGA to HDMI

    Hello
    I hope someone out there can help. I recently bought a new samsung TV after that my old one failed. My new TV doesn't have a RGB port to connect a VGA cable to so I can use my PC as my old one done, it has HDMI and my PC only output VGA. I bought a VGA Converter HDMI to maplin and when I start my PC the image appears on my TV because it goes through its startup upward. It displays windows prepares, but then the Windows point would open normally, the signal on my TV dies and it does is display the message no signal on the screen. If I start thr PC in safe mode, windows starts very well and the signal does not go down. I use windows 7. Someone knows how to fix?
    Thank you

    It is possible that your computer is trying to send a resolution & frequency to which the TV cannot manage.  I suspect that this is because the image is displayed when starting, but then disappears when Windows takes control - until Windows takes over, the resolution sent will be below.

    You should consult the manual of the TV to its specifications.  Mine, for example, just a a simple table of resolutions & combinations of vertical frequency it can handle.  Then look at the Control Panel, display, change display settings to see what your computer can produce and choose one that fits these two machines.  If the best resolution display settings don't work then go to the next best resolution [or in the setting of 640 x 480 to see which works best].

    Once configured, Windows will display the setting chosen at the television screen every time so you will not have to keep setting up for each session.

    Each time that you connect the TV you can use the Windows key + P key combination to toggle the display.

    I don't know if you want the TV an extended desktop or a single view.  You might find, as I did, that the TV can use a higher resolution output if it is the only view.  I suspect that this is a result of capacity of the computer's display adapter because it has less work to do if there is only one required both display.

    Once you put in place, you may find that control panel display settings, display, change, advanced has useful additional parameters, but you'd probably need to have a good guide to help with your graphics card make any sense of the options available.

    If that is not enough then I suggest that you try to find an online forum for your TV, hoping that someone has done what you are trying to do.

    Good luck
