Satellite L350D PSLE8E Stuck on windows 7 startup screen

HELP! can't get the computer to go pass the Window 7 startup screen. Just upgraded from Vista to 64bit Windows 7.....bad idea please any help?

Hey,
It seems that something went wrong during upgrade process I agree with Silas: You should try to use the HDD recovery or take Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings where everything will work properly again.
Last but not least let me give you a word of advice: If you want Windows 7 instead Vista, I would try a new and clean installation (no upgrade). I dont have good experience with upgraded OS. Usually new installation works as best.

Satellite L350D - How to recover Windows?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my L350D and I removed Windows Vista (and all of my files) by mistake..There was not a windows recovery cd rom when i bought the L350D. What should i do to recover windows vista? Is there any way to have Windows Vista again on my computer without buying the software for a second time? Thank you very much

Hey,
> There was not a windows recovery cd rom
Yes because you have to create this disk yourself using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disk creator but everything about this is mentioned in your user manual.
> What should i do to recover windows vista?
There is only one way to restore the original settings from Toshiba: Its Toshiba recovery disk and if you dont have it you can order it here:

Satellite 5100-201 Problems Installing Windows XP (Blue Screen)

I got this computer and unfortunatly I do not have access to the cd that came with the computer because my cousin lost them. I tried to install Windows XP Professional that I bought and when the first installation of Windows XP is about to begin i get this blue screen of death message: 0x0000007B (0xF7AFC63C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
The Computer was working before but but it was extremly slow and the dvd-rom was not recognizable by windows. I tried all the known windows corrections related to missing cd-rom drives but nothing made it work. I can boot from the cd in windows boot cd. and i even updated then bios to 1.90 from 1.60.
Must I have the Toshiba installation CDs? There is no other way to install Windows XP Pro?? Must I use the Toshiba Recovery CD?

I did format it, I got the original recovery cds as well. and those are not working either. You can boot on a cd, it starts windows 98 and then it does not recognise the dvd-rom:S bummer. it says cd-rom not found. I can't understand. if i could update the bios with the cd bios update, boot from cds whats the problem and the OSs' cannot recognise the dvd-rom

Late 2008 iMac stuck in continual restart, startup screen issue

So, I come home last night and my iMac has shut itself off, not terribly out of the ordinary, so I start it up. However, the screen is covered in black blocks of pixels, with some color thrown in. The little wheel spins for about a minute I guess and then the next thing that pops up, although barely visible through the mess, appears to be the "new age" style kernal panic warning. It just cycles through this over and over without stopping, never getting any further than the first start up screen with the Apple logo on it. After hopelessly trying to restart a few times thinking it would go away, I hook it up in Target Disk Mode to my MBPro and start pulling stuff off the hard drive. Running Disk Utility on my iMac throws three errors, "incorrect number of file hard links," "invalid directory item count," and "the volume Hard Disk was found corrupt and needs repaired... Error: this disk needs to be repaired. click repair disk."
Originally I thought it was a graphics or logic board issue (I remember a similar looking display issue years ago on my G4 Cube), but now these errors make me think its a directory issue? I really don't know.
Here are a couple pictures of what I'm talking about:

sorry about the external links, pictures were too big to be embedded.
Cheers
Edit: I should mention this is a late 2008 iMac, running OS X 10.8.3

Run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode 3 times. If it reports errors take it in for repair, Apple does not publish the error codes so please do not ask what they mean. Only an Apple Store or AASP will be able translate them for you. You can find instructions for AHT at:

Good luck.

Satellite L500 - System hanging on startup screen after Windows update

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help. My Satellite L500 is hanging on the blue startup screen after it restarted after a windows update, the mouse arrow is moving, and there seems to be some hard drive activity with some flickering in the system indicator lights. Other than that, nothing? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Denise

It was stuck on the Windows 7 welcome screen, all I had to do was hold the power button down for longer and restart it properly. I was just concerned as they always say not to turn the computer off during an update.
*All good now* thanks anyway :)

Macbook stuck at the startup screen

Yesterday I was prompted to install updates on my macbook. After the updates were installed I was told to restart the computer. Once it restarted, it was stuck on the grey startup screen. I let it sit for hours because I thought it was loading. It never went past that screen so I shut it off. This morning I turned it back on and it is stuck at the same screen. What is wrong? and what should I do?

Hi Justin,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Insert the first of the two disks that came with your Mac. Restart the computer while holding down the C key. This will boot off the DVD. When it's booted, choose "Disk Utility" from the menubar at the top of the screen. Select your hard disk in the left pane of the window and click the Repair button.
After the repair process is complete, reboot the Mac normally and see if it starts up off your hard disk. If not, try booting in safe mode. To do so, hold down the Shift key as you turn the computer on and continue holding it until you see the spinning gear below the Apple logo. If the computer boots in safe mode, restart and see if it then boots normally.

Stuck on Startup screen with 10.5.2

I've tried to install the 10.5.2 update on a G5 iMac ppc, but get stuck on the white startup screen with the apple logo. I've tried re-installing (archive and install) successfully, then applied the 10.5.2 combi update, with the same result. Am I stuck with 10.5.1?

I was able to get past the Apple logo startup screen lockup by repairing my directory with DiskWarrior.

Macbook Pro stuck at startup screen.

I've ran Disk Utility, there were problems that were fixed, but it's fine now (I've ran it again to double check), and I've ran Apple HHardware Test and I received" no trouble found".
But everytime I try to start up it gets stuck on the grey startup screen with the apple and the oration under it. So I'm at a loss at this point.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

System files are missing or damaged so you need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.
If you have an earlier version of OS X installed then do this instead:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

My mac is stuck on the grey loading screen?

My mac, is stuck on the grey startup screen. I have tried everything that everyone has said. Yes, I have reset the PRAM, I have tried a safe reboot, I'm NOT resetting it! It just won't start up, I have a seagate 3TB backup drive, but I have no way to get inside the computer, so I can't activate it.
Please help!

Not resetting?
Well that presents a problem because you need to check the startup disk, repair the disk if necessary, or restore OS X using OS X Recovery
You can resstore from a Time Machine backup using OS X Recovery if necessary.

PowerPC Mac Mini gets stuck at grey apple logo screen, wont start

I have a bit of a problem and would appreciate some help, im not especially good at this stuff.
My Powerpc Mac Mini froze up recently, having left it on for a few days without shutting down/resetting. I impatiently turned it off with the power button at the back. When I turned it on again, it only got as far as the grey apple logo screen, it now refuses to go past this screen despite numerous power resets, and unplugging at the power.
I have reset the PMU and the PRAM as suggested by the troubleshooting, to no avail - the PRAM did work as it changed the resolution of the apple logo, but still got stuck at the grey startup screen. Its out of warranty so I have to pay for technical support. Can anyone help?

If you have the original install disk that came with your mini, the first thing to do is to insert that, and then boot the system holding the C key down. This should force it to boot from the install disk rather than the internal drive. The reason you want to do this is two-fold: firstly that if it boots OK that way, it shows the basic hardware is OK, and secondly, it's possible that the hard drive has developed errors (likely directory damage) and the tool to check for that and attempt to resolve it is on the install disk.
Once you've got the system booted to the install disk, exit the installer and run the Disk Utility application. That should display the internal drive (and the install disk) on the left. Select the internal drive and then click 'Repair Disk'. If no errors are found, the drive is fine and the problem lies elsewhere. If errors are reported and the disk is fixed, then you should be able to reboot normally afterwards. If errors are found and Disk Utility reports 'error on exit' not having fixed them, then run it again just to be sure, but otherwise it means the drive is damaged sufficiently that Disk Utility can't fix it. A third-party application such as Alsoft's DiskWarrior will then be needed if you want to try and fix the drive and recover data, or you can simply elect to do an erase and install, meaning the drive will be reformatted and a new copy of MacOS installed. Do not do this if you have data you need to get off the drive!!

Satellite A210 - Screen turs off after the Windows startup screen

when I boot my windows there is the startup screen. After this my screen turns off and can't login to windows.
Satellite A210
ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600
Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?

> Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, which I can install without starting windows?
Please dont understand me wrong but I think you are on the wrong way.
Device drivers (graphic card, LAN, etc.) have to be installed within running system (i.e: Windows OS, etc)
Im sure; driver isnt the problem if nothing is visible on the screen.
First of all I would recommend you to connect the notebook to an external screen/monitor just to check if something would be visible on the 2nd display.
But just one question: did you try to boot the notebook using a bootable disk (windows installation disk, Toshiba recovery disk or similar???).
Maybe the Windows system is muddled up and therefore you are not able to boot up the system? In my opinion you should test this option.

I need some XP drivers for Satellite L350D-110 PSLE8E

Hello there.
I have now my brandnew Toshiba notebook. It comes only with VISTA, a very nice looking system.
But I want to use my notebook in our office too and then I need to install XP Professional.
XP is already installed, but i need some drivers to complete the system installation.
Here is screenshot from my hardware manager (hope it will work in this forum):
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screengmhv9.jpg
Can anybody help me?
Or is there a chance to get a downgrade option from Toshiba?? Without a downgrade I cannot use my brandnew notebook.....

For the Satellite L350D and Windows XP there are all drivers available.
I think you forget to install two or more drivers.
Here you can download it:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Search for your model and you will get a list of all drivers. Then you can compare which drivers you didnt install yet.
As Jeffrey said, I should be the AMD Processor Driver, Realtek driver and the card reader.

Satellite L350D-214 - Windows 7 setup doesn't finish

My Satellite L350D-214 wont set up properly.
I've looked in the manual and it says follow the on screen set up and I do. It comes up with language so I click english and then next, it then comes up with Windows 7 install, so i click next. then it comes up with a large black square, with white writing, it says press any key to continue so i did. Then it does nothing.
At the bottom of the screen theres another boz which I've opened and also tried pressing any key because this one also says that i should.
It just doesnt do anything!

Hi
Do you try installing Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk or Windows upgrade kit from Toshiba?
I dont know if you make an upgrade or new installation but you should try it with a new installation.

Stuck in Windows Startup Repair Loop - U410

Hey guys, back with another problem. I'm this close to just giving up on this laptop.
I had used the laptop last night like to normally do - emailed some people, checked the mail, wrote some homework up. Shut down normally when I was done. I opened it this morning only to find thecomputer going into Windows Startup Repair.
I shrugged and said okay. the repair happened quickly and it then took me to the normal loading screen.
At which it stayed on loop for about an hour (I was able to watch a movie in the meantime on my phone only to see that it still wasn't done). I then forced shut down through the power button. Waited roughy a minute and then started t up again. This time I picked the option of Start Windows Normally hoping to see if a shut down from there would fix the problem. Only it was stuck on the loading screen for about twenty minutes.
Force shut down again. I went back to starting windows repair like it prompted me to do. Another hour wait at the looping startup screen.
I wish I could post a picture of the thing for you to see.
This is roughly my sixth or seventh time trying to start the computer.
I've also tried that method with the NOVO button as some posts say to do, but nothing is happening.
Should I just take the laptop into my nearest bestbuy or future shop??

I can't seem to access safe mode at all - I did the option of pressing F8 repeatedly but it seemed to ignore it and go into the option of either starting the Repair or running windows normally.
Once it does the repair, it stays on this screen indefinitely. The same goes with trying to start windows normally - it stays on the Loading Windows screen.
