  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.

  Here's a video of one of them.

• Can no longer open the hard drive

  Hello

  I used my external hdd to 4 TB (connected to USB 3.0 to copy data through the CCC on another external hard drive.

  Somewhere in the Middle he stopped.

  When I try to open the 4 to (by clicking on it) the finder crashes - every time.

  I put inside my MP 4 TB hard drive, but the same thing happens. The continuous finder crashing, all the desktop icons disappear and this crash notice window: the last time that you open the Finder it quit unexpectedly...

  and it keeps.

  I can access the hard drive via the CCC and copy data from other disks. But there is 3.92 TB of data and I have to first find the space.

  In the initialization of the PC world, I would say that the Master Boot Record is damaged. But I don't know what it is on a hard drive to the Mac Format.

  Have you tried to run the concerned disk disk utility?

• Equium A60-692 - no power and removing the HARD drive

  The power has gone on my A60-692, the adapter is ok but there is just no no LED on the laptop. I had to get replaced a few years ago so maybe it is related to that of the power connector.

  I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.

  Is it really so hard to fix these things?
  How hard is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  > I took to a local repair place, he said, it would cost more to fix this, so I should really find it useful laptop only think about recover my data.
  I agree with the authorized service provider. My personal opinion is that it s a malfunction of the motherboard and it is a very expensive part. Besides, Equium A60 is pretty old model so it would be better buy you a new laptop and recover your data.

  > How difficult is it to make the hard drive out, & how would then access down my data?
  It of not difficult, but I m really wondering why you need access to these data. You don t have a backup? In my opinion the backup is the most important thing you need to do on a computer.
  Anyway, normally on the underside of your laptop there is a HARD drive cover which is guaranteed by one or two screws. You must remove this cover and then you can see the HARD drive and you're able to remove it.
  Also buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can install the HARD drive. Then you can connect it to another computer to back up your data. ;)

• Save the files and format the hard drive?

  I have a MacBook 2012 mid pro and the hard drive fills up with data and applications, I don't want anymore. So I want just to format the drive and install a fresh OS x and only the applications and the data I need. Is it possible to just copy the folders with the data I want to save... on an external drive?... like music, movies, Documents... then format my internal drive and load El Capitan. When can I then copy these files on the original drive and have things work the same or improve skills?... when using Photos and iTunes and iMovie? I do not use Time Capsule... cause he will restore a bunch of stuff I don't want. Has any tried this? or have better ideas?

  Yes, you can if you wish. Don't forget some features such as the preferences settings will be not recorded, unless you know where to look.  As for iTunes and Photos you must register the complete library of media files.

  Hello John

  Recovery installation is very simple and you can do it whenever you want. Important is that your laptop to factory settings. Simply follow the link posted by Feliks.

  If you've changed something else or clean installation of the OS, it will not work and for the installation of recovery you must use the original Toshiba Recovery DVD drive.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• I just have to install a new hard drive and Vista on my Toshiba Satellite pro computer laptop I gave up and damage the hard drive.

  I can't set up a broadband connection using the cable or wireless such that it does not recognize either. Also, the font is huge and I can't find anywhere to reduce only expand. I also have to install a Toshiba installation disc?

  If the installation disc includes the drivers for your motherboard, display and Wi - Fi then yes do you.

  You can also find drivers as follows. Go to the Toshiba support website and search for Windows Vista drivers for your specific model number.

  Toshiba support: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp

  If there are Windows Vista drivers can download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them, starting with the card mother/chipset, SATA, USB drivers, Audio, LAN, Etc., and so on.

  I plan to upgrade my laptop with a new solid state drive. Do I have to disable my software Adobe CC on the old disk and reactivated once the new drive is installed?

  May be more prudent to turn off first, but I didn't need to do that when I used the migration program supplied with my new SSD to re - create the new disk from the old & make it the root of the C: drive.

• U430 power and key flashes after removing the hard drive

  Hello world

  I just bought a U430 touch and try to put in an (Sandisk Ultra Plus 256 GB) SSD.

  I followed the instructions on how to open the lid and remove the hard drive as described in the maintenance manual. I created a USB startup disk and changed the order of boot from USB. But when I try to press the Novo key to then proceed with the installation of Windows, the power light and keyboard just begins to Flash slowly. I tried it turn instead to use the Novo key and the same thing happens.

  I tried to do it with and without the key USB is plugged. I also then put the old hard drive and put the top back on and he always does. I thought maybe that just means that it is in mode 'sleep' but by pressing the power or by pressing the keys does not help.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.
