• 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.

  He wants to boot from the DVD, but I have the HARD drive as the number of boot option in the bios. What's new?

  The symptoms you describe seem to indicate that the startup information has been lost of the HD.  The HD is faulty or something destroys the startup information.

  Try to do a repair from the installation DVD.

• Z575 will not boot from the hard drive or restore DVD

  Need help on a laptop Z575 age of 2 years that immediately after an automatic update of windows, will not start either from the hard disk or restore DVDs (blue screen). Does not start in safe mode, not booting from a rescue of third party DVD. Attempt to start, it will show you the ability to start the Startup Repair tool. Repair shows that it is unable to fix with the detail following problem error messages:
  Signature of the problem 1: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of problem 2: 6.1.7600.16385
  Signature of the problem 3: unknown
  Signature of the 4:21200196 problem
  Signature problem 5: auto failover
  Signature of the problem 6:7
  Signature of the 7 problem: bad driver
  OS version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1

  Normally think that the hard drive has failed or that windows update caused a software problem, but the inability to boot from any restore disk that makes me think that there is another serious problem with the hardware of the laptop.

  Any help would be appreciated. THX

  Additional note: when you try to boot from a restore disc, blue screen, error message:
  Stop: 0x0000007B (0xF78DA640, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  It is a hardware failure that cannot be restarted soft.

  I also removed the hard drive and RAM, reinstalled and rebooted, no change.

  Additional note: I was able to access the hard drive with a recovery of old program, focused on the (SpaceFM) ram charged through the DVD player. Hard drive data appears intact. Still does not start from the hard disk or a DVD of windows system.

  Thank you. Rather than buying a 4 GB or more large key USB comes from put this into hard drive replacement. Installed correctly, boots very well now. No other error of the optical drive... and no explanation I can see, but that's it.

  Unless something else pops up we'll just call cela a HARD drive failed after 2 years of common use. Thanks again.

• A33 satellite will not start on the hard drive even after the installation of the new system

  Hello, I need help, my A33 does not start on a hard drive. It is to see the drive hard in the bios and even by operating the drive when you go to install. But as soon as it will boot to the hard drive, it is just a black screen. It is very strange that you can see the hard drive in the bios and even with a diagnostics disk. I can see, scan it and check it by starting with a diagnostic disk, but when I start the computer, it doesn't do anything.

  Help please!

  Stand by. Your ad is so confused. When you read can you understand what you wrote?

  BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly, no?
  When you use bootable disk for the installation of the OS is properly recognized HDD?
  You can install OS using the original recovery disc or by using the Microsoft installation disc?

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.

• Satellite Pro 460 does not start with the new drive in

  I recently received a Satellite Pro 460, but he had no hard drive.
  It starts great without a disc in but as soon as I put a new hard drive in it does not start.

  I thought that it might be again a hard drive, so I pulled out my old Toshiba Satellite with my old drive to work, and yet, it does not start.

  Someone has any ideas why this is and what I can do about it

  I think that you can not do much. Satellite pro 460 CDT, for example, comes with 2 GB of HARD drive. If you try to get it work with similar HDD without success, it may be defective IDE port on the motherboard.

  What HARD drive you are trying to use on this good old classic?

• Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

  Hello
  I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
  Problem still exist.
  The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
  because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
  Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

  I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
  The problem still exists.

  The other post:

  Another interesting fact:
  After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
  for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
  I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

  The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

  INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

  UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

  Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

  Select Services

  Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

  Stop Windows Update

  In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

  Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

  Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

  Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

  Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

• 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 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.

  See you soon

• Satellite A105 does not start from the CD Rom

  Today WinXP fall & I decide to reinstall.
  I change in the Bios to boot to the cd-rom first.
  But she continue to start the hard drive first. I don't know what to do, because I don't Win & I can't boot from any device except the HARD drive.

  Any body can help me? Can be extracted bios battary motherboard...

  Hello

  If you want to boot from the CD Rom, then a bootable Windows CD must be inserted in the first place.

  Immediately after starting the laptop, press the F12 key.
  This should allow the start on-screen menu then you could choose the ODD (CD/DVD drive) and the laptop should boot from the drive.

  Good bye

• Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

  My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

  Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

  and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

  Hi all

  This morning I was not in box a new Elitebook 8640 p and instantly replaced the hard drive with a new 128 GB crucial disc M4.

  Machine installation installation clean Windows, restarted etc. I then installed the drivers, restarted etc. Have a windows index score and I was immediately impressed by the 7.9, but...

  The laptop won't start. Right after that the first portable screens it just stops at a black screen where it should show the logo "windows". I put the original hard drive in and the machine starts very well and I put the M4 in my office and it begins to start.

  It seems so the reader is fine and the laptop is fine, but the whole... Nope.

• Left without head does not start from the phone.

  Hello

  I have a problem with the part without a head.

  When I try to launch the app to Eclips, the app will be charged for phone and rotate the UI and parts without a head.

  Now if I restart the phone, headless part does not start even when I open the UI part,

  The headless part is to call the block function.

  Any idea will be very appreciated!

  Thank you!

  Your HL will start automatically in these two scenarios:
  (1) the application is installed on the device (there is no front)
  (2) the phone is restarted-> which is the magical part where your file bar - descriptor.xml is to record your target without head to call when the OS up bb.action.system.STARTED action.

  If you want your HL to be launched at the start of the user interface, you must manually call.

  Look here for an example of coding:

• Satellite P300 does not start because of HARD drive password

  I have a Satellite P300 laptop and it seems to be frozen.
  When I turn it on a blue box rises and requires a HARD drive password before windows turns on, but I can't type the password because there is no cursor.
  None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.

  I was wondering if I have to buy a new hard drive and if I do, can get one with more capacity that it is only 149 gb?

  I don t want to buy if its repairable,.

  Thank you

  > None of the buttons work. There is no way to type the password.
  Connect an external USB keyboard and check if you can type the HARD drive password.
  Generally, if you know the HARD drive password, the use of the external USB keyboard should work

  Would it be possible that your keyboard is broken?
  You can access the BIOS F2 press during the startup of the device?
