• Satellite L300D - 12L does not start from CD/DVD drive

  Hello.

  I noticed a couple of threads on L3x who sometimes won't start but have a blinking cursor.
  I also have this problem with my daughter satellite.

  It occurs when there is a disc in the DVD player. The PC does not start, I get a black screen with a cursor and the DVD flashes regularly as if she is trying to determine if there is a bootable disc inserted.

  I tried several discs with similar results.
  Everything that happens the DVDRW ejects, and I have to force a shutdown, then eject the disc immediately when I start her for it boot on Vista.

  Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery disk Toshiba?

  Fact is if you try to install the Windows operating system on the new laptop series, you must install either the drivers SATA or you must set compatible SATA to AHCI mode in the BIOS!

  That's why check first before you would contact any ASP guy to replace the STRANGE.

• VM does not start from CD/DVD

  Hello

  I just finished installing Hyper-V on my windows server 2012 and I created my first VM. I try to install the operating system of the CD/DVD drive, but it does not start. It displays "Boot Failure. Restart from a proper boot device... ».

  I tried setting up another server in the same way and the virtual machine on the other server also shows the same error.

  I have the CD as first option in the BIOS to boot. I have only one CD drive on my server that I put my VM to start stand with.

  So, what could be the problem?

• Satellite C870D-119 does not start from CD/DVD drive

  I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to the optical device is referenced to boot the system before the hard drive. The bad news is that the CD player is started but after 30 seconds, the system hard disk takes over and starts Windows 10.
  I need to create a full backup of the system offline.
  How can I make the labtop will boot from the CD drive?
  Thanks for any help.

  What is on the CD?
  If the CD is MSDOS, Vista or XP or Win7 based, you must set the startup Boot of MSC mode.
  If the CD has Win8 or Win10 then you start in UEFI boot mode.

• Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

  Hi guys.
  First timer here.
  I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
  It seems I have the same problems as keith.

  I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
  Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
  Both options end with no joy.

  The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
  The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

  Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
  I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
  other options?

  My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
  have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

  Are there any other suggestions?

  Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

  is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

  is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

  see you soon,
  Martin

  Hello Martin

  To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
  Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

  If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

  In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
  > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
  It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

  > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
  I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

  > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
  You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

  I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

• Portege R100 - does not start from CD player

  I have Toshiba Portege R100. I want to format and start all over again

  I use killdisk, excellent utility program, normally takes place the disc cd but the machine does not start from cd player, even when it is said in the bios, it says 'error of cable' & drive still works fine when the system is installed & running

  I want to remove unbuntu & just xp, thought that I would start plus-plus easy or simply to remove unbuntu?
  If remove unbuntu, how can I do this?

  Best regards, TIM

  Hey Buddy,

  If you want to have XP only, try to boot from a XP disc. You can format the drive HARD whole with XP disc that even Ubuntu is installed. I put t understand why you use another program to format the HARD drive

  Then boot from a XP disc and follow the instructions on the screen. If it doesn't work, it seems to be the material of your player to malfunction.

• CD player passes all tests but the computer does not start from cd player

  CD player passes all the tests, but the computer does not start from cd drive. entered the bios and it specifically indicate to boot from the cd drive. Windows 7 installation disc does not start. Win 7 disk works in another computer to start. Why is it not this cd player read the disc and from the win 7 installation process?

  I see this problem on systems having older IDE and SATA drives requiring firmware updates and assigned to the region 1 aka they boot from XP CD, but not DVD windows 7or media.

• My C50 - B Satellite does not start from the HARD drive

  Details of the machine: -.

  Model number: PSCMLA-03F07Q
  Serial number: XE343127P

  Computer does not start from hard drive. No error message, just the start Toshiba at the end of self-test screen.

  Sometimes a reinstall of the operating system seems to correct the problem, but then he would go again, now the problem is consistent.

  I reduced the possibilities to a fault of BIOS, reasons.

  System boots from USB with no problems. Installation of operating systems is done without error. SMART hard drive data indicates a perfectly healthy hard drive. Memcheck will return no error.

  The obvious solution is to reload the BIOS, just reset it doesn't help. But that is the problem.

  1.4 BIOS update that the Australian site offers is a Windows program and the computer cannot start Windows.

  Obvious answer is to use a bootable USB key with an operating system 'live' on this issue, but all of these systems are Linux and the update of the BIOS is a Windows program. So much for smart solutions.

  Downloaded Bios version 1.7 of the European site but the iso inside the rar file is empty, 25 MB in size but nothing in there according to Linux. Tried to run his program on a Win7 64 bit computer and it returns an error that it could not find the correct iso file.

  I submitted a support request by email to Toshiba, but they believe that it could take three days to get a response, so I thought I would ask here as well. Can someone tell me please to a working copy of the latest BIOS update disk for a laptop Satelite C50 - B? Note: this model does not have a CD player so iso should be compatible with USB boot.

  See you soon,.

  Andrew.

  Hello

  From my experience that I n think that BIOS update is the final solution for you. When you set the default settings of the BIOS disk HARD appears correctly in the BIOS settings?
  HARD drive is also offered and listed as boot device when you enter in the start using F12 at startup menu?

  What happens when you start using recovery image installation created recovery USB key (I hope that you have created a)?

  Offer BIOS updates are versions of WIN and can be performed by running the Windows operating system.

• Tecra M2 does not start successfully - zeroes appear all over the screen

  Help!

  My Tecra M2 does not start. After the toshiba logo, a series of zeros (0) appear all over the screen.

  -suspect it is caused by a virus, I formatted the HD (in another PC), but still the zeros appear
  -I might want to start in the DVD player, it seems to read the disc, but nothing happens, just a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen
  -J' I reset / replaced the RAM, but still no effect.
  -the power button works, lights and shuts the laptop but does not start.
  -CPU fan works
  -LED indicators of work are power, battery, dvd, wireless. Does not have HD LED light on.

  Any suggestions on how to solve this problem is greatly appreciated.
  See you soon!

  Hello

  I think we can exclude HARD disk failure because you are able to format it in another computer.
  As you suggest the RAM modules has been replaced but the problem persists
  So in my opinion, a motherboard problem would be possible

  But as you know, it of really difficult to say what might be exactly wrong
  I think that the technician should check the laptop then it would be possible to say what part is malfunctioning

  In any case, I think a motherboard might be affected

• Lenovo Z585 does not start on a DVD - jump directly to Windows

  Hello, I just got a new IdeaPad Z585 from newegg, and I can't figure out how to boot from a disk in the drawer of the DVD.

  I tried to open the BIOS and change the boot order, as well as simply go directly to the start menu. I tried with UEFI both active and disabled, as well as Secure Boot both enabled and disabled. No matter what I try, it does not start in any DVD.

  I try to install Linux and tried different discs and distributions of this. When no even reached GRUB, I tried a Windows 7 installation disc, and even that is ignored.

  What should I do?

  Hello
  The secureboot and uefi must be handicapped simaltaneously. You can try if you haven't.
  Also, could you try pressing the novo button to power your laptop. The novo button is the button of reocovery key a small next to the power button. Has then access Startup menu see if it helps.

• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

• Tecra A6 does not start with battery only

  Hi all
  I'm having a strange problem with a Tecra A6 I picked up recently at the refurb because it does not start with a battery only: it starts only when / sector is also connected, but eventually DΘmarrer on battery alone (and works fine) with the power cord removed shortly after pressing the power button. It's just on battery alone, I get no answer by pressing the power on button (so the power outlet must be set at this first stage or I don't get anything).

  Now I'm wondering if maybe it's the battery voltage? It seems that there are 2 options for this model, a 10.8 v and the other at 11.1V. With loaded Windows and Hardware Monitor reports running the battery is at 0% wear level and cool until completely (so I don't think that the battery is faulty), but it indicates that the battery is running at * 11, 1V, * but the battery installed is actually the * model 10.8v*. Could that prevent any power on only to batteries?

  More information on the model I have:
  Tecra A6-PTA60E-0EJ013EN
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2.0 Ghz
  2 GB of Ram.

  Thanks in advance for any help on this one. Essential, I would like to know is if I have a 11.1V battery to run this model correctly (and get it) on battery alone. If the voltage makes no difference so I guess it must be a weird motherboard problem and I need bother not buy a new battery.

  > Will have to buy another battery and see if the same thing happens (I'll know then if it is the motherboard), but in the meantime if anyone can let me know if the voltage is serious I would appreciate it.

  To my knowledge, the batteries for Tecra A6 should take in charge 10.8V
  There's piles more strong for example 5200mAh but the voltage must be the same 10.8

• Tecra M2 does not start

  I'm new havoing problems with my Tecra M2. can someone point me in the right direction with regard to breakdowns, I had a glance on the forum and the threads associated with the Tecra range but cannot find all threads that match my problem.

  In a short time, less than three days, I had a problem that began with the laptp re start when it has been moved to now does not start at all. All the lights are what I expect of them with the exception of the HARD drive indicator, that does not illuminate at the start of the boot sequence. Does that mean that my HARD drive or the connection at the disk has failed, measures of observation of fault that I can follow to confirm or deny my fears would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  If the HARD drive is faulty, then you should not be able to start the operating system, but you should be able to see the BIOS splash screen.
  You see that? Are you abele to access the BIOS?
  Please check this!

  To access the BIOS ESC and F1 press immediately after the laptop has been powered! If this is not possible then there might be something wrong with the motherboard or any other piece of hardware like RAM.

  If you are able to access the BIOS, then you should check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
  You can also use the tool called Drive Fitness Test to verify the HARD drive!

• Tecra M4 - does not start, no image on the monitor

  My Tecra M4 will not start.
  When I turn it on, all I hear is a quick check of the DVD player, a hum of hard drive and fan.

  I tried an external monitor and still see nothing.
  I also changed the ram, tried to start with disconnected HARD drive disconnected RTC battery for a while.

  I don't see anything on the screen at any time.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi TheXenon,

  In your case, I'll try this:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then reconnect the two and try to restart your laptop.

  But at the moment for me that sounds like a hardware malfunction and you need help from a service allowed in your country. :(
