How do I enter Safe Mode on my Satellite U300?

Does anyone know how to enter safe mode on my u300. tried the usual F8 without success
Any Ideas?
Have got "The User Profile Service failed the logon." and was going to try system restore to resolve it.
Any help would be appreciatted.

Hi
You can enter the advanced boot menu only using the F8 button.
Did you try to press it several times in row?
You should press it immediately after the notebook has been powered up!
Sorry but other way is not known to me
You could try to boot using an Windows Vista disk.. this could help to repair the OS.
In worst case you have to reinstall the OS... :(

  • Satellite T135 How to enter Safe Mode and HDD Recovery if "F8" doesn't work

    Hello everybody
    I have a Toshiba Satellite T135 Laptop and it has recently crashed. Since then, every time I switch it on, Startup Repair automatically gets enabled. But it fails repairing the error.
    I tried to resolve the problem with System Restore, but that didn't work either. So I think I have to go through the HDD recovery procedure.
    The problem is, that I have a lot of data on my laptop that I need to safe first. I wanted to do this via Safe Mode which I supposedly should be able to enter by pressing "F8" while initializing, when the Windows logo appears. But my laptop doesn't react when I press F8, but rather begins to make a alerting sound, if I press the button for a longer time.
    Apart from how to enter safe mode when pressing F8 while initializing doesn't work, I do have a second question: Is Toshiba Recovery Wizard the equivalent for HDD Recovery Procedure? That's the only similar option I've been able to find...
    Thank you very much for your advice.

    Hi buddy,
    Yes, the Toshiba HDD recovery option will wipe the *first* partition of HDD. Thats the partition where Windows is installed so all files on this partition will be deleted to restore the original out of box settings. If you have stored the data on this partition they will be deleted but all data on second partition will not be deleted.
    You can perform a backup if you buy an external HDD case as MisterX suggested. Put the notebook HDD into this case and connect it to another computer. Then you can back up all files that you need. :)

  • How can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?

    QuestionHow can I use Safe Mode to troubleshoot in Windows 8 or Windows 7?
    AnswerWindows has a special mode known as Safe Mode. It is not fully functional, but it allows you to make changes to the laptop to hopefully fix normal mode. We're going to attempt to boot into Safe Mode to use it fix the laptop.
    For more information on how to boot into Safe Mode please see the following articles:
    How To: Safe Mode and other Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8
    Creating a System Repair Disc for Windows 8 (useful for entering Safe Mode)
    How To: Start your Windows 7 computer in Safe Mode
    Use Safe Mode to undo recent changes
    When a computer won't start Windows, it's usually due to a recent change. If you installed a new piece of software before your laptop began to have trouble booting, you may want to uninstall it. Similarly, if you recently made a change to any system settings, you may want to change it back. If you have antivirus software, you may want to perform a scan. If you're not sure what to do here, feel free to skip to the next step!
    Use Safe Mode to perform a system restore
    Windows includes a utility called System Restore that can help with many problems. While this won't alter or remove any of your personal files, it will roll back your system settings and files to an earlier date. We'll use this to attempt to fix Windows.
    To learn how to use System Restore, please check the following articles:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    How To: Perform a system restore in Windows 7
    Use Safe Mode to initiate a clean boot
    As Windows loads, it loads many additional components such as services and startup items. Some of these are not vital. For example, some tools start immediately with Windows, such as antivirus software. From Safe Mode, we can instruct Windows not to load many of these. This will help you determine if one is causing Windows not to load properly. Note that this step is more advanced than the previous steps. If it seems difficult for you, you may consider asking for help from someone who is more comfortable with computers.
    Please view the following article for more information:
    How can I perform a clean startup without my startup items to troubleshoot a problem?
    If Windows loads normally, you'll know one of those startup items or services was causing the problem. If this is the case, you may want to return to the System Configuration Utility and re-enable some items and services to determine which specific one caused the problem.
    Backing up your data
    If you're able to enter Safe Mode, backing up your data should be easy. Connect a USB flash drive or external drive to your computer while in Safe Mode and then copy your important  files to the flash drive or external drive.
    You may also want to consider taking your computer to a professional.

    Would love to know if this is possible. Found forums dating back years asking exactly the same thing, no solutions. And I do not want to change my headset (Sennheiser MM-50), or use the onboard mic (which sounds like you are using your Mac in a wind tunnel once the fans kick in).

  • Blackberry 9800 Torch not starting up or entering Safe mode

    Hi all,
    I am owner of a Blackberry 9800 Torch for about a year and now it does not startup. I turned the phone off last night and this morning it does not start up. I didn't make any changes to the phone so very strange. 
    The behaviour is that when I take the battery out and it turns on, the load screen start but the little white line only starts a little(2mm line) and then it restarts and does the same thing and loop over and over again in this till battery runs out. 
    I have tired to enter Safe mode by holding in the Escape bottom when the load screen starts or when the red light turn off but it does not enter Safe mode.
    Please can anybody advise how I can fix this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Stefan

    Are you able to restart your device in safe mode as shown in KB17877?
    I assume, since it's caught in a reboot cycle, when you connect to the Desktop Software it doesn't take a stable connection to reinstall your software?
    If that is case, remove your battery and keep it out when you connect to the Desktop Software. You will get a pop up that the device can't connect and there should be Retry, Update and Cancel buttons. Select Update and you will then be able to reinstall the current device software version.
    When the load is progressing, you will see a step that says "Wait for device initialization". At this point, insert the battery and the reload should complete.

  • Need old keyboard to boot off start-up disc or enter safe mode

    I have one of the first Core Duo iMacs, purchased on July 2006. I have since replaced the original keyboard with the aluminum version that is now standard issue. Whenever I need to boot from the start-up disc to repair my hard disk, or enter safe mode, I always need to go back and plug in my original keyboard. Is there some known hardware compatibility issue with these older iMacs and the aluminum keyboards? I'm glad I still saved the old one.

    Are you referring to the new bluetooth (wireless) keyboard or are you using a wired version?

  • Can't enter safe mode in XP

    Im5tryingtoenter safe mode on an older Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop, model no. PSAU-813000. I re had reinstalled the XP OS earlier this year and the computer appeared to run as new.however, I never tried safe mode after the installation. I'm trying to enter safe mode so I can eliminate the sign in password. As the computer is booting up I press f8repeatedly but it keeps booting up to the signin screen.. any ideas? Thanks.

    If you can boot into Windows XP... 
    1. You can get into Safe Mode this way. Open the System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe), check /SAFEBOOT on the BOOT.INI tab, OK, and restart Windows.
    2. You can bypass the Welcome (Windows sign-in) screen this way. Open the hidden User Accounts dialog by running this..
       control userpasswords2
    On its Users tab, clear the check box for...
        Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.
    You'll be asked for your password.

  • How do you enter recovery mode disc utility?

    On a mac mini server, how do you enter recovery mode disc utility? Before you roll your eyes, the problem I am having is obviously using bluetooth keyboard, on rebooting, it puts the keyboard to sleep so pressing CMD R whilst rebooting doesn't seem to register. Is there any way of doing this using bluetooth keyboard or do I need to get a wired keyboard?

    Thanks, I couldn't tell because I don't have a Restore partition.

  • Server won't finish booting...can't enter safe mode...won't read install

    My G4 XServe starts to boot, I see the Apple, then it shifts to the Starting Mac.... screen, and then it just stops on an empty blue screen. I see the server going through and checking each of the four hard drives, system activity lights do their thing, but the blue screen remains.
    I cannot get the server to boot from the install CD or DVD (using 10.4.8 and have the 10.4 disks). It will not let me set startup mode by holding down the system identifier button when powering up. I can't get it to accept holding down the C or D keys on the keyboard when starting. When I hold down the shift key it goes to the console and asks me to log in there instead of entering safe mode.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Are you able to start in Verbose mode?
    Hold down "apple" and "v" at startup. This will take you through a logging bootup and into the GUI. Try and see if you can mount it to another machine via firewire disk mode. From there you can check it with Disk Utility or Diskwarrior (provided it mounts).
    Or try start in single user mode "apple" and "s" and when you get to the prompt "#" type "fsck -f"
    See if any volume repairs are conducted. If they complete or if it works you type "reboot" when done and the server should restart.
    Good luck

  • IMac shutting down on startup - Can't enter safe mode as wireless keyboard doesn't connect quickly enough

    Hi all,
    I was planning to use bootcamp to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 21.5" iMac.
    Bootcamp recommended I usk disk utility to repair the drive. I had a snow leopard install disk in the drive, (I didn't realise Lion already had it's recovery tools built in to the hard drive.)
    Disk utility said it can't repair the drive and recommended I start backing up my data (because the hard drive could be about to fail). Fine, so I restarted, with the intention of backing up everything (all my work for the last 12 months). So I press the power button, grey screen comes up, then the apple logo, then a progress bar appears (found this odd at first, but later found out it has something to do with disk utility and a bad hard drive) it gets to around 20% and then all power is cut from the iMac and the hard drive stops/everything powers down.
    Now, I can't seem to get my iMac to boot into recovery utilities or into safe mode because it doesn't connect to the wireless keyboard in time before it shuts down. So, if I use a wired keyboard (I have a dell USB keyboard that I can take from the office), will I be able to boot into safe mode?
    Also, if the disk in drive is causing the problem, then I can't remove it because the wireless keyboard won't connect/register any keypresses.

    Ok so, status report:
    Wired keyboard is non responsive when I plug it in before/during boot. So i guess it needs to be plugged in before the iMac shut down. That's that out the window.
    Plugged in headphones and I can't hear the startup chime so don't know when to start holding buttons.
    To make matters worse, the wireless keyboard is no longer paired with the iMac, getting a green blinking light which indicates it wants to connect to a computer or device.
    So I can't enter any commands whatsoever, can't remove the disk in the drive or boot safe mode. It's my worst nightmare.

  • How can I disable Safe Mode permanently?

    I'm one of many people who use a Firefox addon called 'Leechblock' to help combat the tendency to waste time online by visiting time-wasting sites, or in my case - visiting porn sites. Leechblock helped, because it allowed me to ban the sites and search terms I would habitually go for. The only problem is that I'm now aware I can circumvent the whole ban thing by hitting 'Shift' when I click FIrefox and opening up the Safe Mode, this allows me to freely search for porn and\or disable the addon.
    I know that several other people use Leechblock for the same purpose, and we've all come up against this - if we could disable Safe mode on our own version of Firefox, it'd take considerably more effort to get back in and fall back to those bad habits.
    Others have posted instructions for disabling Safe Mode, but they've only worked with much older versions of Firefox. Is anyone with the experience able to dedicate a little bit of time to figuring out and explaining for the non-technical user how to do this on the latest version of Firefox?
    Your help would be much appreciated, not only by me but by others with the same issue. Thanks!

  • How to get into Safe Mode (win7)

    I have a user who installed Windows 7 on his Mac (natively). He now has a virus - which means he needs to run his AV software in SAFE MODE (running a scan in normal mode is usually a waste of time).
    But.... how in the heck do I get his computer to boot into Safe Mode? On a PC, I would hit F8 at the Bios screen. But the Mac Bios is completely different.
    Or will hitting F8 still work?

    EFI is still a 'basic IO system' and while you can't booted into EFI setup screen, you can do Safe Mode. All computers have to bootstrap the system and have basic firmware supported method. UEFI will though have a harder time be adopted - though support for booting from GPT and 2.1TB volumes may force it.
    For AV, I would strongly recommend Microsoft Security Essentials, free and darn good which was updated yesterday.
