Computer won't boot after last BIOS update from Toshiba.

It was working fine before the update. Shut down and can't boot; blank screen with blinking cursor. I have followed the suggestions of getting into the computer but the HDD cannot be found. Finally got into BIOS but when I run repair I get error: 08-0E89-0000---Partition Creation Failed. Any help would be greatly appreciately. I have a Satellite A665-S6086 running Win 7 Home 64-bit.

Thanks Peter for your reply but that is a non-issue now as I purchased a new HD WD750 Black to replace the one I was having problems with and the recovery worked fine, so I thought. When the computer goes to sleep or hibernate, I don't know which the HD fails on waking. I was going to try recovery again but instead I reseated the HD and it booted. This has happened a couple times since the initial 'fail' but seems to Restart fine. but I have only done it once. Of course all of these problems started after BIOS 2.30 update last week.
BTW I had tried all the steps provided to other members having the same problem (Puppy, recovery disk, pressing 0 and removing battery while holding something down) but was getting nowhere and it seemed to me that all HDs can't all fail at once. So that's why I added the part about the BIOS update that no one seemed to acknowledged. computer working, install update and restart and the HD failed; yes to me it was questionable. Additionally, judging by some of the repair technics it is assumed that we members are more advanced or that buy our recovery disk will fix the problem but it does not fix every problem especially if the HD is not recognized. But what do I know.

G4 won't boot after last Security Update

I have an AGP G4 tower that's been running 10.4.11 fine until today. The last thing I did was Software Update. The only things on the list were an iLife update and a Security Update. I don't know the update number but since I always keep the system updated, I can only assume these two updates were the latest available.
So after the update... I hit the "restart" button but then I get the grey screen with a prohibitory sign and a spinning wheel.
It's not a hardware issue... I can reboot this machine into an alternate hard drive just fine.
I fixed permissions.
I ran disk utility - hard disk checked out ok.
Still can't boot using this drive.
Obviously this last security update broke my system folder because it's as if it can't find a valid system.
So now the question is, what can I do to fix my system folder?
Thank-you.

Simple fix.
I downloaded and installed the 10.4.11 Combo Update onto original drive while booted into the alternate drive. I then downloaded and installed the Security Update 2008-0001 onto the original drive. As a precaution I repaired permissions on the original drive.
Successfully booted into original drive.

The flash program is rarely the issue with a windows flash. The problem is instability cause be anti-virus, virus, etc
Why are many people flashing their bios? Because something isn't working quite right usually right? So it is always best to eliminate any type of software instability for the equation.
Ahhh right! I guess I probably didn't have any issue because I use the shunned Windows Defender that comes with 8/8.1... :P
Worked right off the bat though..
Always made me nervous updating the bios, a 2nd bios chip on-board is a step in the right direction for sure!

Problem with HP Media Centre M7670.UK-a - won't boot after installing an update to Apple Quicktime

I just installed the latest update to Apple Quicktime (after an update message appeared on the screen). When asked if I wanted to re-boot the PC now, I clicked on Yes.
Now the computer won't boot. The power light comes on, then the disk drive light flashes for a moment, then nothing else happens and the PC starts to beep. The beeps are repeating, with 2 short beeps and one long beep. What do the beeps mean?
This question was solved.

Then a clear CMOS would be the next logical troubleshooting step.
Here is a link to your motherboard specifications.
The information on clearing CMOS is at the bottom of the document.
This is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.
The problem you are facing is motherboard hardware firmware related.

Computer won't boot after installing MFP M127FW

My computer won't boot to my hard drive after installing my new MFP M127FW printer unless I first unplug the USB cable from the printer and then turn on the computer. My BIOS is set to boot from my hard drive, not from a USB drive, so what did the installation of the MFP M127FW drivers and software do to my computer? I assume this has something to do with the Smart Install feature.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @frcraig ,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the computer booting up when the printer is connected by the USB cable.
I would like to help you out with this issue today.
Most likely it is the Smart Install on the printer causing this. The printer looks like a disk drive.
On the printer, touch Setup, Service, Smart Install and turn it off.
If you are still having issues, in the system BIOS, disable the Boot from USB device option and the USB Legacy Support option. Doing this will allow the PC to complete the boot process to the internal hard drive and allow you to enter Windows. If this does not work for any reason, you should boot your PC before connecting the USB drive. Once the computer is fully booted into Windows, connect the USB drive and wait for the operating system to detect the drive.
Important: Do not disable the USB Legacy Support if you are using a USB Keyboard. Doing so will prevent you from being able to use the keyboard during the booting sequence.
What kind of computer do you have?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Blank screen & no booting after running BIOS update on Satellite A200-1AE

Here is my problem with my A200-1AE (PSAECE) Notebook:
I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the Toshiba download drivers library to install Win XP since finally the drivers are realized. (Note the update clearly stated to run ONLY if you want to install XP on you NB).
So I unzipped the file and after hitting the .exe file it started updating the BIOS on its own without me giving the liberty to do so. Half way the N/B froze for about 20 minutes and as I didnt know what else to do so I reset it.
Result? The NB does NOT boot. I press the power button, the Hard Drive icon flashes 2-3 times as well as the DVD drive, I get a blank screen and the power cord & power button icons constantly on. I removed the battery and the power cord for 48 hours hoping it will reset the BIOS on its own to no avail.
The BIOS battery is under the touchpad which means I have to disassemble the whole laptop and I am not ready to do so. I dont know if on the motherboard there are BIOS reset jumpers and I need someones help as to what I should do. I am starting to think that things where MUCH easier back to when I just had a desktop PC.
THERE must be something I can do other that taking it to the service center and pay half the value of the laptop in repairs.... PLS HELP Im desperate....

Hi there,
first of all: a notebook is not a desktop and such mobile computer does not have jumpers like a deskop computer. They surely have something to delete the BIOS but I am not so sure IF resetting the BIOS could help you.
I guess you will have to send your machine to a service center for repair because in such cases you will have no other option. Do you have still warranty on this machine?

Satelite P300 does not boot after failed Bios update

Hi everyone,
I have tried to update the bios of a P300 using this :
18/03/10
BIOS Update
Toshiba Windows 7 - 32 Bit 4.20-WIN32 World Wide
Which I downloaded from here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK after entering my laptops specifications.
The flash process hanged during the update and the laptop became unbootable, blank screen when powering on and nothing else...
I tried using the Phoenix Emergency Crisis application, created a floppy disk with the Bios image file that I have earlier downloaded but managed nothing.
The USB floppy driver access the floppy when entering the recovery mode, I hear some beeps that indicate that a process takes places, but when everything stops and reboot...the problem remains.
-Has anyone got a clue what to do next?
-Is the warranty void after a bios update attempt?
Thank you for yor time.

Hi buddy,
You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.
The same question was asked here:

Macbook won't boot after installing Security Update 2008-007 (Intel)

I installed security update 2008-007 (intel) on my MacBook last night using Software Update, but now my machine won't boot at all. All I get is the gray start-up screen with the dark gray apple, but there's no spinning progress bar or anything. After 5 minutes or so, the machine auto-restarts, but again hangs on the gray start-up screen. It does this over and over again until I shut it off. I tried to boot into safe mode by holding down shift right after the chime, but it still wouldn't boot (again, not even a spinning progress bar). Can anyone please help me? I really don't want to lose my photos/movies, etc. I'll backup everything promptly if I can just get it to boot. Thanks.

Hi jared-lee, and again, a warm welcome to the forums!
First for safety, "Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

This may or may not fix the problem, but may.

Computer won't boot after windows 7 install.... :( [Solved]

I have 2 hard drives. The first drive is my main arch linux install. The second drive I use to install various operating systems. My school was selling windows7 for $30...I couldn't resist the cheap price...now I'm paying for it ><
I unplugged the hard drive with my arch linux install from my computer. (sda) Then installed windows 7 on the second hard drive. I reattached the first hard drive to my computer. (this was so i could avoid having to re-install grub)
My computer would not boot. I decided to install linux mint -- something I was going to do anyway -- that way I could boot into arch linux and fix things. Mint installed fine. But my computer STILL won't boot. I get grub error 22. What's up with that? Is this something to do with windows7?
Hard Drives:
/dev/sda1 ext2 /boot 100 MB
/dev/sda2 extended
/dev/sda5 ext3 arch / 130 GB
/dev/sda3 ext3 arch /home 166 GB
/dev/sda4 swap 1.72 GB
/dev/sdb1 ntfs windows7 65 GB
/dev/sdb4 ext3 mint / 19GB
/dev/sdb2 swap 1GB
/dev/sdb3 ext3 media 900 GB
Should I install grub to the MBR?
I checked to make sure that nothing in my arch linux install was erased using the arch install cd... I really need to get this fixed before classes on monday so any help would be appreciated.

I was going to say, even at $30 you still managed to get the full windows experience at first boot!
Meskarune wrote:PS. I heard that windows will override the MBR when it updates... so consequently it is bad to install grub to the MBR in a dual boot system. Will I have to be reinstalling grub all the time?
God i hope not. just stay away from windows if that happens
just thinking about tihs is giving me headaches.

Because of was the same as me, infinite loop like 4~5 times and after continued to install.
Here for an explanation look at page 4 > http://event.msi.com/mb/22nm/Bios_ME7_to%20_ME8_update_SOP_EN.pdf
If you didnt seen this part, failed and.... I dont know what can you do at this point.
in fact the problem was after this last update mentioned on page 4 of SOP guide that you linked and that i was read ... all ... but what is strange is that i have no display error during all update .. alla goes fine ...after last reboot ... dead.
someone can tell us what's happened? i'm not newbie about this procedures of bios update ...without any problem.

PowerMac won't boot after latest Apple update

After downloading and installing the latest Apple update I rebooted the computer. The computer doesn't boot up anymore. It starts, I see the grey screen with the Apple on it, the spikes start to spin and then after a minute or so the Apple turns into a circle with a line through it. I have tried resetting the PRAM and reset the SMU, still the same results. I do hear the hard drive spin up, and start to be accessed like usual, but then it stops when I get the circle with the line through it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This must be related to the 10.4.11 update. I am able to boot from my other disks with OSX installed in the computer. I have downloaded the patch and tried re-applying it to the damaged installation but it still doesn't work. I don't have a computer with boot camp installed, so I don't know why this is affecting me. I also have a G3-750 that is now disabled due to the update and it only has 1 disk in the system.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how to fix this so I can salvage the installation or do I need to re-install OS X and everything along with it?

X240 will not boot after latest bios update

I bought windows 8 .1 machine from factory. Then I had local shop install 8.1 on larger ssd. I just performed latest bios update and now machine will not boot. I am sure this is uefi related but I am not knowledgable in that area. The boot parameter returned to me by the shop was "legacy only" and secure boot was disabled.
Solved!

Since doing the BIOS update are the settings still as you noted above? You also didn't mention which SSD is now installed in the system.
Just as an aside, installing Windows 8.1 in legacy mode isn't exactly optimal. Were there any particular reasons for this? Just being curious.
