Satellite A doesn't boot up - Windows cannot start

I got an update for windows internet explorer but it never started to download and i couldn't close the download window.
Then my laptop froze so I switched it off and tried to reboot.
It comes up with all kinds of options but non work they either freeze or at the end reboot the laptop and then it says windows could not boot and it does a check but this stil doesn't work.
Please help its only 20 days old.

Hello
You can try to start your notebook in Safe mode (F8) and when notebook starts use systemrestore option and rollback operating system to the earlier time before you done this update.
Maybe this will help.
If not I recommend you to install OS again using recovery image. If you have brand new notebook you can do this using F8 option Repair my computer.
If you need more assistance how to do this please let us know.

Windows cannot start the installation process

I have windows server 2012 datacenter with hyper-v role that I tried to upgrade to R2 RTM.
All went fine until the reboot and the error "windows cannot start the installation process"
I can start windows server 2012
I must say that I used a ISO file using DRAC for the install.
Is there a log to check for errors?

Hi,
Just a thought, check to see what your BIOS settings are on your computer.
This problem is usually related some potential problem in the disk or BIOS or faulty hardware. The BIOS sometimes limits the read/write scope of boot sectors, to avoid virus attack.
Review the BIOS setting, if there’s any Anti-Virus settings, just disable it, and then start the install again.

CD/DVDW SN-S082D issue - Windows cannot start this hardware device Code 19

I've had my laptop for a little over a year now and it's had it's fair share of problems, most of which are fixable or there is a workaround.
Earlier today I inserted a disc into the drive and tried opening it up, went into "My Computer" and found the disc drive was not listed.
This has happened once or twice before and a simple restart fixes the problem.
I've restarted twice and this time the problem wasn't fixed, after going into "Device Manager" I found there was a problem with the device and it gave me the following error
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
As usual 'Check for soulutions' is useless and returned no results.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
Some info that may help
OS: Windows Vista Home Premuim
Laptop Model / Number: Medion MD 98300
DVD Drive: TSSTCorp CD/DVD W SN-S082D ATA Device
Thanks

First of all I wonder why you post this here in the Toshiba forum if you dont have a Toshiba notebook
This is a little bit strange for me... anyway I will try to help you.
It seems that the registry keys are corrupt and therefore your CD/DVD drive cannot work properly.
Try simply the solution proposal mentioned here in the Microsoft doc:

Kindly guide me how do i identify which is blocking the device to start. What are the logs should I refer and solve the problem.

Hi,
Let's verify these things:
Did it work fine with another USB cable or port, or on another computer?
If the drive does not work on the 2nd computer, the drive is probably defective.
If the drive works fine on another computer, there are a few steps to follow while the drive is connected to the original computer:
1. Right-click on Computer and choose Manage.
2. Double-click on the Device Manager.
3. The device will usually appear under "Other Devices" or "Unknown Devices"; right-click on it and choose Uninstall.
4. reinstall it for test.

Satellite L500D won't boot up Windows Vista

Hi. I have a Satellite L500D which failed to boot up Windows Vista (Home Premium). It shut down normally the previous night, with no power interruptions or other abnormal events during shutdown. The following day, it failed to boot Windows and went into a diagnostic screen. This diagnostic attempted to resolve and fix the problem, but failed. It didn't give me the option of Windows "Safe Mode" either.
As the laptop was under warranty, I returned it to the retailer. By hitting F8 at bootup we got into Safe Mode, then copied my folders to an external hard drive. They then "recovered" the laptop (not sure if that meant re-formatting the hard drive and re-installing Vista?)
Q. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a preventative measure?
I would really appreciate any advice on this problem.
Regards
Mark Brymner
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You asked if that has ever happened to someone before. It's almost like asking if you ever had a flat tire. It's happened to someone at least once, or in my case, many of times.
You didn't mention if there was a specific error code, but most failure to boot into Windows problems are because of a corrupt or missing boot file(s). I know within the last few months, Microsoft has pushed some updates that cause people's machines not to boot properly. There really is nothing you can do about it. Just ensure you are not shutting the machine down while the computer is updating.
Keep your important documents/pictures/music backed up just in case.

Satellite L850 doesn't boot

Hi, I'm having problems with my L850-150
The thing is it doesn't boot. Power led turns on, Nums Lock led turns on, fan turns on, and nothing more happens, so it's not a power supply problem.
I've been reading in this forum that updating the bios could solve the issue, but as I've seen in the instructions, it seems that the update needs to be done on Windows environment, and as I've said, the computer doesn't boot, so I can't do the BIOS update.
Is there any other solution? Is there any other way to update the BIOS?
Thanks in advance.

Can you please tell us more about your notebook and all you have done last days?
Do you use original OS and factory settings?
Have you done anything that can be responsible for this (software or hardware update/upgrade)?
It is hard to believe that something like this happen for one moment to another without any reason.
You are right, it has nothing to do with power supply, there is something else but on this virtual way it is not easy to offer some precise diagnostic.
In worst case contact nearest Toshiba service provider or your local dealer and ask for help.

Satellite L300-135 not booting into windows!

bought it about 2 years ago everything worked perfectly until today where it's even unable to boot into windows vista...I just turn it on when the windows loading bar is loading then it shows blue screen for 0.1 sec and it resets itself... even the safe mode wouldn't start and restore mode (last good known config) couldn't help it to start...i tried using an ubuntu linux live cd to save my datas but couldn't boot either, gave an error stating something as abnormal.
so where's the problem ?
Windows boot manager tried to find the problem and is telling me this:
status: 0xc00000e9
info: An unexpected I/O error has occured.

> so where's the problem ?
Who knows??? Do you think its so easy to say whats exactly wrong without running any tests???
Maybe its just a software issue but a hardware issue (RAM, motherboard, etc..) can be possible too.
As I understood your message, you want to access the data and to backup the necessary files
Well, the Toshiba recovery disk would format the whole HDD therefore you should backup the data before usage of recovery disk.
You could remove the HDD from the notebook and could connect it to another computer using an external USB HDD case.
After backup, you could use the recovery disk to reinstall the Windows.

Re: Satellite A300 doesn't boot

Hi!
I have a Toshiba A300 for a few years. I have upgraded it with a new RAM module last week. I tested it with memtetst 86, and everything was fine, but this week it started to act strangely.
The notebook doesn't boot up properly, just spinning the ODD drive (the orange led is flashing), however the ODD is the last boot device in the bios.
Has this problem a connection with the new ram, or is it just the ODDs fault?

This means, that the machine doesn't boot. I have just black screen, no toshiba logo. I found a thread [here|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=63497&tstart=15] and my problem seems similar to it.
I'm going to try to remove the ram next time the problem occurs.

Satellite L300-19F doesn't boot up - Windows failed to start

My notebook doesn't start up, "Windows failed to start. To fix the problem: restart with recovery CD".
I may do this, but first I do want to try to save data (and pics) from hard disk.
Is it possible, for example, to go to DOS during start up with recovery CD, and copy data to USB-stick?
By the way, all my data is on E:\ partition. Will this be overwritten when installing from recovery?
Please advise. Regards.

> Is it possible, for example, to go to DOS during start up with recovery CD, and copy data to USB-stick?
No, this is not possible!
If you would boot up using recovery disk then the recover procedure would be started and the whole HDD would be formatted!
You can try to boot using an WinPE
http://www.livecd.com/
This will allows you to boot up the unit and to get access to the data on the HDD
You could also built own Windows live CD

Satellite L450-171 - Dual boot with Windows 7 and Windows XP

Hello all,
I bought a Satellite L450-171 with Windows 7 pre-install. For reasons of compatibility, I installed Windows xp on on another partitition of the computer.
But in the starting up, I do not see both operating systems. I see only Windows xp.
Please how could I make to have the option of run also the Windows 7?
Thank you in advance.

Hi
> But in the starting up, I do not see both operating systems. I see only Windows xp.
This happened because the Win XP has overwritten the Win 7 boot manager.
The EasyBCD is great tool but you have to install this in Win 7.
But how to do this if you cannot boot into Win7???
Well, for this you will need an original Win 7 disk (not recovery disk).
You could boot up using Win 7 disk and this will repair the Win 7 boot manager.
Now you could boot into Win 7 and could install the EasyBCD.
Then start EasyBCD and insert the Win XP OS entry into Win 7 boot manager
After new restart the Win XP and Win 7 should appear in boot manger and you could switch between both OS.

Satellite A10 - doesn't boot up properly

I have an A10 Satellite and i can't boot up even last known good configuration or safe mode doesnt work and if its booting up it will take a long time but a blue screen appears and says that an error occured and its preventing any harm to the hard disk.
I put in the recovery cd but i didnt get the xp cause it says starting windows 98 but im running an xp pro which i got when i bought the laptop. So if any one out there can help???

HI Johan,
If you are unable to boot from your hard drive then your only other option will be to boot from a CD-ROM.
Most commercially available backup utilities (Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, etc.) include such a bootable CD. The Product Recovery CD supplied with your notebook is most likely a cut-down version of Norton Ghost which is specifically designed to format your hard drive and then restore a 'Ghost' image of the original OEM software.
It is quite possible for your hard drive to be damaged and still have the LED come on when it is being accessed. The damage could be to the physical mechanism of the drive, or to the surface coating of the platters etc. A bootable CD from one of the backup utilities will probably include a version of CHKDSK which you can run to test the integrity of your hard drive. Norton, for example, include a copy of Disk Doctor.
If you have a copy of the original Windows installation CD, you can boot from that into the recovery console, and try to repair whatever is damaged on your hard drive assuming the problem is only corrupt or missing files. In principle, you could use the XP Home Edition CD to do this only if the damaged files are not specific to XP Pro in which case they will not be on the HE disk.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Satellite A300 doesn't boot - black screen afer Toshiba splash screen

My laptop (Satellite A300) has recently a big problem after when i turn it on.
When I turn on my laptop, after big logo of Toshiba in red i should go to Windows but it just stop and i only see a black page and nothing happens after that, even if i wait for ages, that black page stays same.

Once i notice this issue, i installed the Windows vista again and i still face with this black page... but let me tell you something strange... this can fix temporarily when i press F2 button when i see the Red Toshiab logo and then i go to exit to save and chagen and then i restart, and windows runs....it's quite strange because i change nothing and i just save and exit.!!!!!!!! I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS BECAUSE I AM SORT OF SUSPICIOUS THAT SOME HARDWARE IN MY LAPTOP HAS SOME PROBLEM..... I DON'T WANT THIS TO GET WORSE :(

Satellite L doesn't boot up after restart or shutting down

Hello,
My laptop after restart or shutting down doesn't starting.
I need to turn off the computer and wait 10 seconds and try again, after that it start ok.
Any suggest?
Thanks,
Dvir

To be honest I dont know if there is the problem actually. Most important thing is that your notebook starts. I dont know if this is so important if this happen after 5 or 10 seconds.
We dont know which notebook model do you have, how old it is, since when you have noticed this strange issue, so it is not easy to understand the problem.
>My laptop after restart or shutting down doesn't starting.
It is not easy to understand this statement. Does it mean that when you click on restart or shutdown option in start menu notebook react properly but cannot restart or be switched on immediately?
