Windows does not start after recovery

Hey, satellite 1800 started son to have more and more slow to the point where it took close to an hour to boot in Windows. It got to the stage where it seemed that recovery from the CD was the only road - so we did. Everything had to look successful from the point of view of recovery but the installer of Windows XP displays "Please wait...". "with the normal activity of the disc looking for 20-30 seconds and then hangs - no disk activity, the mouse is not responding. I went through the recovery in "expert" mode and don't see any problems with the recovery process. Issues related to the:
1 no matter who else seen elsewhere?
2. what else can I do diagnosis-wise?
3 which, basically, the recovery process not / (fact he re - format partitions, could it have left a virus?)
4. I'm better h/w or s/w diags?

Bitshifter

Hi Bitshifter,

topic of your question 3:
The recovery process replaces the whole HARD drive or even a partition with an image created by Toshiba. This image contains an operating system, drivers, and a few basic programs. All other data (including viruses) in this partition will be deleted.

question 4:
I don't know the cause of your problem, but I think it's a hardware problem, because after recovery, there may be incorrect or missing software.

Sorry I can't give you more information.
Good luck!

  • Windows does not start after the update...

    Hope someone can help with this,

    I just installed the update sp1 for my computer for Windows Vista Premium Home dir all installed with no problems, but when I restarted my pc, Windows wouldn't start. The only thing that is on display is a black screen with Windows Error Recovery on top, then he said "Windows does not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. I tried to restart it in different ways, but nothing. Then he said: I have to insert my OS drive to try to fix, but that's not even start. Everyone knows about this problem? This has happened right after that I installed the update...

    L.Butler,
    Are you able to boot from your Vista DVD or recovery partion and run the Startup Repair tool?  If you do not have a Vista disc so make sure that your computer is configured to boot from the CD drive before booting from the hard drive.  Once you start with support for Vista select the "Repair your computer" option and first run "Startup Repair".  If that is not correct the problem then boot with Vista support and select the option "System Restore" and choose a date prior to the update install.
    Once you are able to boot normally again, then I suggest that you are looking for virus\malware.  SP1 was released in April 2008.  So if you install earlier means there may be other problems on your system.  If you have a backup of your current personal data then I recommend to do a clean restore to install\factory.  Then immediately install antivirus software, and then do all Windows updates before installing other software.

  • IdeaPad Y530: windows does not start after that laptop went to sleep mode.

    Hello

    More great frustration in my life have laptop brand new, this for me.

    After that the laptop goes into mode 'sleep', I'm not able to go back to Windows. All light are there and watch as usual, but there is no Lenovo Welcome logo or any other sign of normal behavior. I can turn it off by holding the button market / stop, but when I turn back the problem is still there. Windows does not start.

    I was able to go back to Windows that day after leaving just laptop without any power and battery.

    I called Lenovo and they suggested to disable the standby modes use put into hibernation. I did it. When the screen saver started, something went wrong, computer got froze and I had to restart, but then again, black screen and no reaction.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply.

  • Portege R830 - Windows does not start after I have install Comodo Firewall

    Good afternoon

    I bought today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration, the first program that I installed was the popular free Comodo Firewall. After that I restarted, Windows 7 unbootable. It would be stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I do a system restore to the restore point created by Setup of firewall, windows restarts.

    So I ask if there is any inconsistency between the firewall and software on the Toshiba. A that someone already had this problem? I tried to solve this problem throughout the day with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba Recovery and the problem persists. I really like the Comodo and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows does not just start!

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Hi jillefsky,.

    Have you disabled the Windows Firewall before you start with the installation of Comodo Firewall? As far as I know, Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you must remove this program before you install other security tools.

    Generally this has nothing to do with Toshiba and it s advisable to contact Comodo directly. They may know about this so they can give you a proper answer.

    But I put t understand why this program is so important to you. Windows already has an internal firewall so that these programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus like AntiVir and enable the automatic updates of Windows. All that s!

  • Windows does not start after Windows updates downloading

    I have an IBM Thinkpad R32 with Windows XP, 512 MB of ram and a Pentium 4 processor. Wednesday night, when I stopped, Microsoft downloaded a bunch of updates - 13 to be exact. When I went to start my computer the next day, I got a black screen saying "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully.

    When I select 'safe mode' I get a series of files. When I select "Last known configuration" or "Start windows normally" I get a blue screen with "a thread tried to release a source he did not' and the error code that goes in the bottom" STOP: 0x000000E3 "(0X80558BE0, 0X82FCA548, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000002). "When I press F8 for advanced startup options, I get the same result to choose 'safe mode' as before, but also the blue screen to 'last known...". "or"start windows normally ".

    I have a recovery disk but it seems to be the 2nd of the 2 discs, and I can't find the first. More I am concerned about the loss of material on my computer (have not saved in a while). My technical skills are marginal - I'm good at copy what is on the screen but that's all.

    Needless to say, I'm a little upset with Microsoft for burning my muddy computer with its updates. I set it so that I have to approve the updates, but I wasn't paying attention when I hit the button turn off with the updates.

  • Windows does not start after the use of CD "" Toshiba Recovery and Applications/drivers ".

    Well my Toshiba Satellite A205-S5814 laptop was very slow and I was getting very frustrated with it, so I decided pop in the CD "Toshiba Applications/Drvers" perhaps to restore my laptop to factory settings and run perfect once again.

    As I was doing this operation and tried fixing it, the thing finished and off the laptop. And when I turned it back on, Windows will now start and give me the Windows Boot Manager screen. My laptop had Vista on it and I even tried to install Windows XP Home Edition on it with a disk I had. But whenever he's going to do, he says he can find t any hard drive? But for sure, there is a hard drive!

    I do not understand what has happened and why this Toshiba drive ruined my laptop. Before I used this drive my laptop has always works and works OK, it has been slow but still booted Vista and stuff ran. Can someone please help me or tell me what to do, I think that Toshiba has messed up my laptop with disc here, and I don't think that we should have to pay so he can get fixed.
    Please help me.

    Hello!

    I don t think that the Toshiba Recovery disk ruined your laptop.

    If I am right on the recovery disk is Vista and it was installed before. I think the installation going something wrong.
    When you get the Windows Boot Manager you can fix your computer? You can reinstall Vista without the recovery disk when you choose this option, then Toshiba product recovery.

    When you install Windows XP, you need a SATA driver. If you don t use one, you will get this error which can t find hard drives.
    You can download it on the Toshiba site and after booting from the XP CD, you must press F6 to load drivers from a floppy external drive or use you nLite to create a disc with drivers.

  • Pavilion DV6-2140ED: Pavilion DV6: 10 Windows does not start after the upgrade memory (4 GB-> 8 GB)

    After I upgraded the RAM in my HP DV6 from 4 GB to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB Kingston KTA-MB1333 / 4G), Windows no longer starts. I get a blue screen and it keeps restarting.

    I think that the memory specifications are similar to the Samsung M471B5673EH1-CH9 original memory: Ghz 1333, non - ecc, 1.5 volts, case latency 9 etc.etc.

    It's a laptop DV6-2140ED HP with a processor Intel i5 - 430 m and Intel mobile chipset HM55.

    The bios detects 8 GB and it also passes the check/test of memory. As far as I know that I have also installed the latest bios firmware: F.1D. Reinstall my Windows 10 64 bit does not work either: with 8 GB I also get blue screens, after I try to boot my Windows 10 bootable USB drive.

    I read other people having the same problem, but I have not read a solution yet. What can we do about it?

  • Windows does not start after the installation of NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500. Help!

    Before, I had a Sparkle GeForce2 MX400 64 MB AGP Graphics Card with the installed driver. I have not had any problems with him, but I need to upgrade, so I got a NVIDIA Inno3D GeForce FX5500 256 MB 128 bit AGP graphics card. So, the thing is, before I installed the driver for it, the computer was working fine, but of course I can't play games. So I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA (175,19 I think), and I installed it in safe mode to avoid any conflict with my antivirus. The installation is complete, and the system restarted. Everything was going well until after the windows logo (by the way, I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3), when the system crashed all of a sudden. The screen turns off, the unit of the system itself was still on, but it does not. I tried enabling / disabling the NumLock, CapsLock button to check if there is an answer, but I have nothing. I manually turned the computer off, waited for about 3 minutes, the market again, but again, the system crashes after the screen Logo of Windows XP. I started in SafeMode again, uninstalled the NVIDIA driver, restart the system and everything went back to normal. I retried my old 64 MB AGP card and it still works fine. I really need to install the driver to make the most of my 256 MB graphics card. Can anyone help please?
    So far I did the following:
    1. re-installed Windows XP
    2 re-installed the driver NVIDIA about 5 times already.
    3. update all the drivers of my motherboard.
    4. completely removed all traces of NVIDIA using Drive Cleaner and put it back.
    5 installed DirectX 9.0.
    Still, none of them worked. Help!

    Here are my computer specs:
    OS: Windows XP Pro SP3
    Motherboard: ECS 661FX-M rev 1. 0 b
    Processor: Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
    RAM: 768 MB
    HARD drive: 1x80GB IDE slave, 1x20GB IDE Master
    BIOS: Phoenix Tech, LTD 6.00 PG 01/18/2006 v2.2
    Antivirus: Avast free Antivirus v6

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! :)

    PS: I know that my computer is really old. But please don't advise me to upgrade the entire computer or something like that. I can't afford to buy right now a new. Thank you.

    Hello

    I suggest to start the computer in safe mode and check if you can start.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true

    If you are able to start the computer in safe mode, then go to Device Manager and uninstall the drivers for the graphics card and restart the computer.

    If it boots fine in normal mode and then try to install the latest drivers in normal mode and check if that helps.

    Check if that helps.

  • Windows does not start after update, but starts in safe mode

    last night my laptop set to day, I turned it off and when I started today he went straight to the safe mode selection screen. I chose to start in normal mode where it just went to blue screen, just a flash so I couldn't read what is on it and then restarted itself. I then chose safe mode with network boot and he finished making the update without problem, so I rebooted and tried to start up normally, but still it restarted itself, so I went back to safe mode which is what Im use it as today.

    as far as I know that it does not crush power or coward during the update and cannot think it's updating itself that causes the problem. Ive tried to do a system restore but it says theres no restore to restore points.
    Can someone please help me because running in safe mode is maddening as theres no graphics driver and the resolution is horrible.
