• System failure-Equium A60 won't boot to the top

  Hey guys & gals
  for the first time using this site and need some advice!

  I have a toshiba laptop
  "equium a60 model PSA67E-No.-00200D8J.

  Ive had problems with my start up! I get an error message saying: I have a missing driver!

  read the MSG error-"system32\drivers\ntfs.sys".

  Also get message...

  "windows was not start because the following file is missing or damaged:
  system32\DRIVERS\isapnp.sys ".

  Unfortunately I can't find my original CD boot disk & I don't want to lose the files saved... not too good sense when it comes to problems with this...

  If anyone can give some advice please, it drives me crazy! Laughing out loud

  Alan.

  Heyho,

  looks like you're in big trouble. I think the only chance to backup your files is to get some linux live CD (knoppix, ubuntu and mandrake) and an external hard drive to copy the files to your hard drive internal to external hard drive attached.

  The best way would be to ask a technician or a guy who is VERY familiar with computers to backup your data.

  After that you need to reinstall your operating system but without the recovery CD, you are out of luck. Then you don't have a lot of options.
  One of these options is to look for startup disk or how to call it: "restore CD". If it is not available you should contact an authorized local dealer servicepartner toshiba and get a new recovery disk. The last option is to buy a Windows XP or to ask someone (family, friends, the one who) for a Windows XP to install.

• Equium A60 BIOS update: what is the Boot Mode?

  Due to problems with my graphics ATI I have to do a BIOS update. To do my computer (Equium A60 PSA67E) apparently needs to be in mode 'start-up', NOT 'repeat mode '. In a previously sent forum somebody said the computer just "should be turned off" but I'm still not sure of how go to this mode. Is it just a case to go to the start menu, click on shut down the computer and turn off the computer again? But how do you know when it is in mode 'start '?
  Question: How do in boot mode? (I tried the update in 'safe' mode and it does not work)

  Hello

  Boot mode is meaning stop the laptop (BONE).
  It is important that the laptop is not in stand mode or hibernation mode.
  You just simply close the unit. That s all ;)

• Equium A60-173 - after update BIOS not boot

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Equium A60 - 173 running Windows XP.

The result is a black screen or maybe even screen does not turn on. I left it for about 5 minutes then thought that he had crashed then tried to put out of service to restart. The power button does not respond so I left a little longer, then removed the battery)

  Now, the laptop does not start, I press the power button and get: beeeep beeeep beep beep then it shuts off: S
  I'm lost and I hope that I didn't destroy my girlfriends laptop!

  Any help or tips/steps very appreciated!

• My Equium A60 not startup after Windows update

  Hello.
  I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E) about 1 years. There has been many problems with this one recently. First, there was the problem of overheating. The machine would heat up and stops by itself without any warning. I tried many options by keeping the cooling ports clear but dint help not at all.

  I've recently updated my bios version 1.90 such suggested by Toshiba. I always see overheating so far after the bios update.

  The most annoying is the display driver which is in this case a lack of mobility radeon ATI 7000. This would cause the display to become oversized and the resolution is very low. It would go without saying when I restart the machine.

  Last month, I reformatted the machine using the Toshiba Recovery CD. Everything went well until I am passed on the automatic update of windows. The first update coming, and I install and reboot the machine to let it function. He's fine. Comes the second update is installed and I have proceed to restart to allow functional upgrades, it does not start. The machine keeps starting over and over again without loading the OS. The screen is the typical Toshiba boot screen with the yellow light (charger) on the screen and after some time a blue screen is delivered for a short time (I am unable to read this error message it is said) and the machine starts start again. What can be the problem?

  I need to install windows XP SP2, and for this I need to go through the Windows Update. What can be the remedy and on the update of the available display driver. I tried, but it makes the situation worse.
  I used the recovery CD at least 20 times that there is no alternative. I tried to start in safe mode but din't work.

  Hi, Germain,.

  According to your description of the problem it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what you have done so far, but I just want to clarify a few points.

  1. After installing the recovery CD system you install/activate your anti-virus software?

  2. are you using Windows Update in automatic mode or you manually select the update process?

  I recommend you to turn off automatic error (Advanced tab in system properties) reboot so the system will not attempt to restart when you get your blue error screen. This will allow you to see what error.

  Kind regards

  You can also try this:
  Simply remove the cache connector unplugged the HARD drive HARD drive and plug it in again, turn on the laptop.

• Equium A60-191: 'request could not be performed because of an i/o device error. "

  I have an Equium A60-191 my dvd drive has stopped working, the led on this subject is on all the time like his who seek constantly.
  It does not read the CD or dvd and gives an error "REQUEST COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO A DEVICE IO ERROR.

  I tried to remove and reinstall the drive from the Device Manager, it doesn't help. I also tried to boot from the drive computer, but does not start, so I think that the drive does not work.

  I also noticed that the motor does not work in the reader, because that drives don't spin. Device Manager indicates that the drive works properly. Anyone know what is this error?

  1. click on start
  2. right click on my computer
  3. Select manage from the menu that appears
  4. in the computer management window, select Device Manager
  5. in the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
  6 identify your CD/DVD drive in the menu expanded and right click on the appropriate drive
  7. Select Properties
  8. in the Properties window, click the Advanced Settings tab
  9. in the Transfer Mode box that represents your CD/DVD drive (typically device 1), open the menu drop down and select PIO only
  10. click OK and exit all windows.

  If this does not solve your problem, then you need to go back using the procedure above and change device 1 to #9 step will support to 'DMA if available '. Then, change the device 0 to "PIO" only in the Transfer Mode box.

  Device 0: Primary IDE Channel
  Unit 1: Secondary IDE Channel

  Of course, he could also be dead DVD player. In this case, a new drive should solve the problem.

• How to start the recovery on Equium A60?

  Hi, I have to do a factory reset on my Equium A60, I put the cd in but cannot get it started the recovery, some can help me please? Thanks in advance

  Hi EPAs

  Turn recovery media in the CD/DVD drive and disappears. Press the power button and hold the C button. This means the unit choose CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.

  Otherwise, you can change the boot priority in the BIOS settings and set the CD/DVD device as the first.

  Good bye

• Equium A60: Impossible recovery - HARD drive failure?

  I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E-001004NO), which is about 3 years.
  Due to a lot of hanging and the full suite of failure at startup, I decided to use the recovery followed with her CD.
  Recovery procedure is followed as prescribed but the progress bar in the recovery process doesn't move at all and after a while, it shows a black screen with warning of failure and goes to a screen with X: / > which doesn't react to exit or leave an order.

  You need to restart. Have you tried the procedure several times and sometimes it shows cannot find EDISK
  Now, he doesn't even respond to the restore CD and pressing of C very beginning... it s just a black screen with nothing to do.

  Is it possible that the hard drive is faulty or something with the recovery procedure?
  I n t tried with Windows OEM but there any help and how to do with it.

  Toshiba has been a trustworthy companion in the last 3 years and it would be nice if it can be restored with the real amount of monetary resources.

  Any help

  First of all, try to use an original installation disk to Windows. Insert the disc and boot from the CD, and then follow the instructions provided by the installation routine.

  Maybe your recovery CD is not working more properly, so this method should say whether or not he is the recovery media.

• Equium A60 with defective built in memory

  Hello

  I tried to recover my Equium A60 with the recovery DVD and it does not boot to windows. I tried to install a number of different versions of windows and the error messages lead me to the conclusion that the module memory is faulty. The system came with 256 MB of memory and it is hard because it is part of the motherboard. My question is if I buy a memory module and install it in the expansion slot will be it be prevented from working by the faulty memory?

  Post edited by: binkey1st

  Hey Kevin,

  There is unfortunately no way to isolate the faulty RAM on your motherboard. Even if you install a second module of RAM the system always tries to use the built in so defective module.

  You will need to take you laptop to an ASP for the defective replace module.

  Kind regards

  Anyone has any ideas on where to find a solution to this. Is it software or hardware releated etc.

  Thanks much for any help.

  Hello!

  In my view, this could be a problem with the drive HARD or Windows.

  First of all, I would like to check the HARD disk:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  If the HARD drive has no error I would reinstall Windows with the recovery because you disk as no access in safe mode.

  Good bye
