Thanks to an online post I was able to recover from an unstartable situation.  And no help from Toshiba on the problem that they started.
Here is the fix that worked for me:
"The workaround I have found is to change the Boot speed setting in Bios to "normal" instead of the default "fast"
To get to the System BIOS
Press and hold the F2 button, then power on the Unit. That should bring up the BIOS, from there you should see a setting under the Advanced tab called boot speed, just set it to normal and you should be able to load windows normally.

  • Hard Disk issue with Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390

    Well, I'm at my wit's end on this one so after several months of searching for an answer I'm presenting this one to my fellow Toshiba users.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P755  that I purchased around March of 2012 so it is well out of warranty unfortunately. I'm having an odd issue that could just be a faulty hard drive but I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas that might lead this to be a recurring issue with other Toshibas.
    The first symptoms my laptop experienced were the computer locking up and the hard drive light staying lit constantly. This first happened right after I was using WIn 7 disk management to shrink the main partition so I could create a second partition. The exact step this happened at was when I had already shrunk the main partition and had just finished creating the second partition. It hadn't even refreshed the disk management screen when it just locked up completely.
    I left it locked up for almost a half hour and then did a forced shutdown and when it came back up it was really slow and the hard drive light was staying lit constantly. Eventually it wouldn't even start up and the drive light still stayed on constantly (not even blinking, just solid on).
    My first thought was obviously hard disk failure so I grabbed a spare that should have worked perfectly as it was just harvested from a perfectly fine little netbook. I popped the drive in and reinstalled Win 7 and it worked fine...for a few weeks. Then it did the exact same thing except this time it eventually just wouldn't recognize any boot media. I cursed my bad luck in having two failed hard drives and used an older one that I had spare that, as I recall, worked fine when I harvested it from the old laptop it came out of. It worked again...for a couple of days. Then it did the same thing as the first (hard drive light staying lit, not responding hardly at all). I even hooked all these little laptop hard drives up to my file servers SATA ports and they loaded fine and I was able to back stuff up.
    My dilemma here is that I know it could just be that I was using old hard drives and maybe by some chance they all failed because they were old but I'd hate to buy a new hard drive if that's not the problem.
    Has anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas? I even tried testing the RAM and even removing one module at a time. I also tried pulling the battery and running it straight from the charger thinking maybe it was shorting something out.
    As an additional note. One interesting thing that happened after the third drive went bad was that I plugged in the original hard drive thinking I could further troubleshoot and it worked perfectly fine for about a month. It then proceeded to do the same thing again. That's about where I am now. The only other thing I did was yesterday when I pulled the battery and tried it. It did respond very well for at least long enough to almost finish the reinstall to factory partitions but it failed at the last minute and rebooted. It then loaded the Windows startup screen and locked up with the hard drive light staying lit solid.
    Sorry for the novel but I wanted to make sure all my troubleshooting steps were documented so no one suggested those. My last step is to pop in another used drive and install Ubuntu and see what happens then.

    How did you reinstall Win 7 on the replacement drive?  Did you use the the Toshiba Recovery Disks you should have created as per the directions on page 74 of your User's Guide, following the recovery directions on page 76, and return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup? What happens if you return your unit to its factory default set up? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have a hardware problem/failure, as opposed to a driver-software-conflict problem.
    You seem quite familiar with Windows Disk Management software, yet you don't mention running the built in disk 'Error-checking' utility.
    If you believe you may be suffering from some kind of hard drive problems, this would seem a logical step. You can access this utility by clicking on 'Start' -> click on 'Computer' -> right click on 'C:' drive -> click on 'Properties' -> click on the 'Tools' tab -> under 'Error-checking' click the 'Check now...' button -> put check marks on both the 'Automatically fix....' and 'Scan for...' options -> click the 'Start' button. The utility will inform you it can't be run now and ask if you want to schedule for the next restart, agree and restart your computer. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the problems the utility may encounter this could take from 20 minutes to several hours.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Can't create the recovery discs for Toshiba Satellite C55-A5387 Laptop

    Hello, I just got my Toshiba Satellite with Windows 8 and have barely used it. One of the first things I did was go to the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator to make recovery discs but I get error messages when burning the DVDs.
    Toward the end of burning the DVD I see this:
    "Failed to read the following file.
     D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install25.swm
    (error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
    Or this slightly different error messages:
    "Failed to read the following file.
     D:\ZZimages\ZZimages\install16.swm
    (error Code: 02014F-20-0000000)"
    Lost

    If the problem is the recovery partition on your hard drive instead of the DVD's you will have to call Tech support 1-800-457-7777 , Call while you still have 90 days free tech support.

    Instructions for changeing to from Windows 8 to windows 7.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    First - Burn recovery media before you make any changes! -You may want or need to go back to windows 8 later-
    Update BIOS to newest bios version, the C55 and possibly other models will not support CSM boot mode with the older bios versions.
    Second -
    Important Bios changes when changing from Windows 8 to Windows 7:
    Completely shut down laptop (Shut down Windows 8 while pressing the Shift key to completely power off.) then restart computer and hold f2 when the screen goes black and wait for the bios setup utility to launch.
    Select advanced, then system configuration, then boot mode
    UEFI and CSM or legacy  (UEFI for Windows 8 and CSM or legacy for windows 7)
    For windows 7 change to CSM or Legacy mode.
    Third - Also in bios setup utility select - Security, then Secure Boot, then you have to disable secure boot for windows 7.
     You will need to delete all partitions before installing windows 7 this is done forth step.
    Forth - Insert your windows 7 disc and select custom install, your partitions should show up - click on each one and below you will see advanced drive options, click that and you will have options to format - format each one, then delete each one. You will be left with one raw partition, select to install and windows will do the rest while installing the operating system.
    Fifth - install drivers
    Installation order is important:
    Install chipset driver then video driver before other drivers. Then install Toshiba Value added package before other applications
    -See attached pictures that show installed applications-

  • AC Adapter for Toshiba Satellite M40X-129

    Hello guys,
    hope this is the correct forum to post my question in:
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M40X-129 (Model No: PSM4XE-01600CGR). My AC-Adapter is buggered so I need to get a new one. Bought the machine in Germany, am now in Tasmania / Australia. Being in a remote area camp till April, I wont be able to go to a shop with my laptop to try and or figure out, what AC Adapter is suitable. We do have internet here as our only communication form, so it is quite important for me to sort that out.
    Can anyone tell me, what kind of Adapter / power supply is suitable or where to look it up?
    The one Ive been using before is a LITEON, Part No.: PA3432U-1AC3, Model No.: PA-1750-09, Input: 100-240V, 50-60Hz, 1.5A, Output: 19V, 3.95A.
    Thanks for your help and have a nice day
    Peter

    Thanks for your answer Andrej.
    Being in a remote area camp, I cant go to the shop with my old adapter, but I can get someone for me to go the shop, buy (or order) the adapter and chuck it on the next supply chopper.
    I sent all the details posted above to my favorite shop and the lady answered me, as my laptop is an overseas one, it might be possible that the ones they have dont fit. Now I read about plug sizes etc. and thought I could send her some more information to verify, if the stuff they got in stock will do the job for my lap.

  • How can I make a bootable CD containing a BIOS Flash for a Satellite A40-151

    My BIOS is corrupted and requires reloading, but my Laptop does not have a floppy disk drive. I can't find any instructions on how to create a CD to load the new BIOS within the Toshiba site accept a reference to follow the instructions in the Toshiba folder on the Laptop. This I can't view as Window XP has not started because of the BIOS failure.
    Has anyone any ideas or could someone e-mail me the instruction please.
    Waiting in anticipation.
    Kind regards,
    MikeyT.

    Markus,
    Thanks for replying.
    Yes I have been to link you suggested but the section for a A40 only covers the process with a floppy disk, there's no mention of a process for CD drive only machines.
    The reason I believe this a is a BIOS problem is that many web sites talk about resolving my problem by reloading the BIOS. They also talk about hardware checks which I have done.
    Here is some more detail. My laptop crashed overnight whilst online. Possibly caused by a windows update as they are turned for auto install. Since then when I re-boot windows fails to load and I am left with the screen with the windows safe mode options. When I choose any of these windows starts to load but stops at the file MUP.sys.
    I can load the windows recover console and have tried the repair option but this made no difference. I have also used CHKDSK \p and \r, they both found no errors on the HD.
    I have checked the BIOS settings and they are all the same as factory default but there's no reset option.
    So as you can see I'm bit stuck.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Kind Regards,
    MikeyT.

  • Bios Recovery For ideapad laptops!!

  • Bios recovery for HP dv5-1235dx/Vista (64-bit) crashed during update

    My HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx which ran windows vista (64-bit) crashed while updating bios (after my old bios was deleted).  I have tried the start+b+power trick to recover but that option did not work.  HP Support suggests to create a usb key to install bios, however I have repeatedly failed in recovering/installing bios because the instructions are very limited. They mention a "create a usb key" option that I have yet to find that would make the key.  After using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and extracting files from the bios .exe file, I found the following:
    1 folder (sp45138) with contents below
    3602F21.fd
    3603F21.fd
    ding (wave sound)
    InsydeFlash (application)
    InsydeFlash (text document)
    iscflash.dll
    iscflash.sys
    iscflashx64.sys
    platform (configuration settings)
    So, my questions are as follows:
    Where is the mystery "create a usb key" button?
    What files should I have installed on my usb drive?
    Does anything have to be renamed or formatted?
    Thanks for any help given!

    Hello Ceelion21.  I understand you're trying to recover your computer from a failed BIOS flash.
    I see this question get asked a lot so I have made sure to bookmark the instructions which I found on another website.  Here is a link.
    You should be able to download the BIOS file from HP Support.  I believe you'll need to use an application such as 7-Zip to extract the BIOS file and locate the *.FD file.
    If this doesn't work you'll likely need to have the notebook repaired.  If you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP Support and are in the US/Canada you can give them a call at 1-800-474-6836.  If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
    Let me know the result of the BIOS recovery.  I hope you have an excellent night!
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
