Equium A210-1AS: Windows BootManager Status unexpectedI/Oerror has occurred

Hi everyone, I'm really hoping someone out there can help me today!
My daughter is in the middle of her GCSE Exams and has a problem with her Equium A210 - 1AS.
It was working fine until last night and now all she gets when booting up is:
"Windows BootManager screen
Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.
Thiserror can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB Drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD Rom drive that is failing.
Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.
If you continue to receive this error message, contact the hardware manufacturer.
File: \Boot\BCD
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred.
ENTER=Continue"
She tells me she had her web cam plugged in and tried rebooting and replugging that in but this has not resolved the problem.
Can anyone out there help me please as we are desparate to get to work on her pc!
Many thanks if you can.
Regards,
A

> Toshiba has lost any future business from me, and the many others I have read about in various forums.
Sorry to hear this but I don't know why you think so. Fact is that Toshiba and any other notebook manufacturer has specific rules how all this works. In the whole story problem is that you, and many other people you found in Internet, are not familiar with all this and you build your opinion based on your interpretation. Unfortunately it is far away from reality.
When you bought your notebook you were obligated to create recovery DVD and use it for further OS installation. This was described in Toshiba reminder with clear instruction how to do this.
When you buy Microsoft installation disc and loose it you will not get new one for free although you have bill and evidence you bought it on regular way.
As I can see you have your opinion about all this and I don't want to disturb you anymore.
Good luck.

Re: Equium A210-1AS - Blue screen and can't start it

My computer was working fine, i shut it down, the next time i start up it shows the windows loading screen, then for a second a blue screen flashes by, it restarts and repeats, i shut it down and started tapping F8 untill the advanced boot options comes up, safemode ect... none of them work and all lead to the blue screen, if i select the repair option at the top "Repair Your Computer" it begins to load with a vista background and cursor and then shows the error "The installed program cannot start. click OK to turn off the computer."
in Advanced Boot Options i try "Disable automatic restart on system failure" and the blue screen stays up so i can see it, it shows a usual blue screen error, reading:
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
STOP: 0X000000ED (0X85DDA600, 0XC000009C, 0X0000000, 0X0000000)
I do not have a recovery CD as i believe there is a recovery partition, but i don't know how to access this-
I am using Equium A210-1AS
Part Number : PSAFJE-005005KS
Windows vista 32bit
Thanks,
I know know the recovery partition is accessed theough "Repare your computer" but just shows "The installed program cannot start. click OK to turn off the computer." :/

Hello
In my opinion the case is clear: If you cant start the HDDrecovery feature (btw, its not a recovery partition!!!) using Repair my Computer option, you need the Toshiba recovery disk to reinstall it and get factory settings back.
Im wondering that you dont have a recovery disk. You didnt create it? So you didnt read the user manual but this should always be done before you do something with computers.
Anyway, you can order a new recovery disk here:

Re: Downgrading Equium A210-1AS from Vista to WIN XP

I have a fully functioning desktop and a barely working Equium A210-1AS I have Avanquest Fix-It 10 working well on the desktop. I installed Fix-It 10 on the Equium and after a day or so the computer crashed. It would boot and after endless restore operations and uninstalling a not-needed program and Fix-It 10 the computer is sort of working with a peculiar message. I was too mean to pay an extra 30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now it so happens that I have a genuine OEM CD of WIN XP in my possesion. I bought it and used it on a desktop that I eventually took to the Council rubbish dump when it stopped working.
Can I create a CD with all the XP drivers downloaded from the Internet then just boot up with the WIN XP disk then insert the drivers CD?
I believe I could activate WIN XP by telephone and explanation. Would this work and what would the difficulties be? I do not need to save any data.
BTW I like XP and dont like Vista!
Thanks for any help,

I have another problem. When I use the other link supplied by Jeka-IL to the Toshiba website concerning an AHCI driver, and I went to Device Manager to find out which chipset I had the result was nothing like the example given by Toshiba. What I saw was as follows:
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
Ricoh Memory Stick Controller
Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
Ricoh xD Picture Card Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
IEEE 1394 Bus host contollers
Etc
etc
The processor is an AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
This I am sure is a processor that could operate 64bit but is currently operating Vista 32bit

Equium A210-1AS - After BIOS update it becomes hot

Hey, wondering if anyone can help here ...
Currently have a Toshiba Equium A210-1AS with BIOS version 1.80 ver 1.00PARTTBL 4/8/2008.
Since the BIOS was updated some time ago to this version 1.80 the computer has become hot very quickly and therefore performance of the laptop has decreased.
I looked on the Toshiba support site and the only version upgrade to 2.00 was not compatible with this notebook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The short model number is PSAFJE
Thankyou

Hi
I have checked the Toshiba website and I didnt see any BIOS update for the Equium A210 PSAFJE. That means a BIOS update was never released for this notebook normally.
For me it sounds like that you have updated the BIOS with a version for another Equium A210. So you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can install the right BIOS version for you (downgrade).
Bye

Wireless LAN Driver for Equium A210-1AS

Hi
The Toshiba TEMPO system alerted me to a Wireless LAN Vista driver update for my Equium A210-1AS. I've downloaded it, but it's an Atheros driver, whereas the wireless connection properties show the wireless device to be a Realtek RTL8187B device, driver RTL8187B.sys.
It's not exactly obvious why an Atheros driver would be relevant.
Any suggestions?

Reverse the Atheros WLan driver installation and use the preinstalled one.
I agree with Mores. Dont update anything if your notebook runs great.
By the way; some A210 notebook were equipped with the Atheros WLan card and therefore you have received such update.
I think you should take a look firstly on your notebook before doing any updates

Microphone issue on Equium A210-1AS

I recently purchased the A210-1as
I have tried to get sound from my microphone to no avail. I've tried all possible settings - a bit of a techie myself but still no joy
any helpers?
Thanks
Paul

First of all you should update the sound driver.
Check the Toshiba driver page for new versions.
Secondly you should access the control panel and should check the sound settings.
In the new windows you should choose the tab called Recording and there you could choose you external microphone.
You can also configure it as you want.
In the control panel you will find also the voice/speech recognition settings. This setting contains the mic configuration too.
Go trough the single options and check if something was disabled.

Every Firefox action works, but brings up a window saying "A javascript error has occurred."

for several months now, every Firefox action works but brings up an error message, "A Java script error has occurred." I cancel out the error messages (two identical error messages show up each time) and Firefox continues to work normally.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Equium A210-1AS wont boot from a CD

I posted before about the UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue screen and have now decided to restore the computer.
I can not access the recovery HDD.
I have created a windows recovery disc my self and have changed the BIOS order to CD first and after the Toshiba screen it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor (_) and i can hear the disc moving, then switches back to windows (leading to the blue screen).
I also tried creating a Live CD of SLAX so i could see if it would boot on that and could retrieve files but does the same black screen with cursor.
I am going to order a recovery CD from Toshiba, if my other 2 CD's don't work, will the Toshiba one work?
Thanks.

Hi
Hmm the Toshiba recovery disk (which you created) should contain the SATA drivers already so you dont need to switch the SATA mode to compatible
But I think you should try it
Go to BIOS and set SATA mode from AHCI to compatible
Then you should try to boot from the recover disk again
If this will not help and if you would not be able to recover the unit from the HDD using HDD recovery procedure then you should check if the recovery disk from Toshiba would help you
If this will not help, then an hardware fault is possible!

Re: Equium A210-1AS - picture rolls on start up

My picture rolls (much like a vhs video tape) on start up. It continues for anything between 30 minutes to an hour before settling down.
I reinstalled Windows and it was fine for a week before reverting to form.
Any advice?

Can you please test it with external monitor?
It will be interesting to know if this problem occurs on external monitor

Sticky Keys after sticky fluid has been spilled on Equium A210-1AS

Hi,
I accidently spilt some sticky fluid on my keyboard.
Luckily, I managed to dry it out and its ok, but my O, P, K, L, ;, 0 keys are really sticky undearneath.
I was wondering if it is easy to remove the keys to clean them.
Are they easily removed and put back?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi
You can remove only the key caps.
The key caps can be removed easily you need an thin object and can lever the cap from the bracket.
But do this carefully to ensure that the bracket would not break.

Equium A210 - After BIOS update the DVD drive stopped working

Any suggestions?

Suddenly black display on Equium A210-17i

The screen on my Equium A210-17i sometimes just goes completely black, although still backlit. This usually occurs after the computer has been on for a fairly long period of time (tonight after 3 hours) when in use.
When it happened tonight I was just browsing the internet. It has happened several times before, and the only way of getting anything back is to turn the computer off with the power button. My friend who also has the same laptop also experiences the same problem, and although it only happens approximately once a week, it is still annoying. Any solutions?

Well my recently new Equium A210-1AS would randomly go to a black screen (backlight still lit ...but no HDD activity) at least 2 or 3 times every day, leaving me with no option other than to press and hold the power button and restart.
I read several references to this fault on other forums that mentioned things like changing the power settings etc ...this made no difference at all.
The store from which I bought the laptop were less than helpful and blamed software that I'd installed on the laptop (even though I recovered the laptop back to factory settings and left it to run... it still crashed daily... they then told me to wait for Vista SP1.
Then Toshiba's "Tempo" software updates alerted me to the latest BIOS update, which I duly installed (now version 1.70) and (touch wood!) I've not had a crash since.
N.B After the BIOS update has been done and the laptop restarts you may get a checksum error... just press F1 for default settings.
I now rest easy in my bed at night :)
Here's the link that brought it to my attention...

Equium A210-1C4 freezes frequently during Windows 7 startup

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 laptop and upgraded it to Windows 7 a while ago. I have a problem whereby frequently the OS freezes up whilst starting. This occurs frequently and happens after the 'Starting Windows' text appears but before the windows logo appears. When this happens I have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reset the system and bring it back to life, Windows 7 starts normally after this.
I have tried reinstalling Windows 7 and it still doesn't work. I am using the 32bit version if that makes any difference. I have installed all the Toshiba drivers using the [Toshiba Software Installer|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2475695&pf=true] and the problem still continues.
Thanks in advance,
Caleb

Hi
Would recommend checking the HDD firstly.
There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test which could be downloaded from some 3rd party pages.
The tool is freeware and helps you to run some HDD diagnostic tests.
If the HDD would be ok, then the next step should be the RAM check.
The tools like memtest86+ could be used in order to test the memory.
But even if no errors would be detected, the RAM might be still affected I recommend testing the notebook with new RAMs
By the way: check if BIOS is up to date!

Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

Hi There
I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
waiting for ODD to become available...
ODD Drive F: ready.
check for medium in drive F:...
Failed to initialise the raid class.
No RAID - continue normally...
X:\windows\system32>
Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
CAUSE
FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
STATUS: 0XC000000E
INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
please help, I haven't a clue.
thanks

Hi
It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
If not you should definitely try this!
You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.
