Satellite L655 Stuck in Startup Repair mode

My laptop is stuck in Startup Repair mode. A blue bar has been crossing the screen for over 24-hours with a dialogue that says, "Repairing disk errors. This might take over an hour to complete." If I try to cancel, I get a pop-up message that says, "The current repair operation cannot be cancelled." Shutting down using the buttom and restarting takes me back to the same screen. Shutting down, and using F-8 takes me to the same screen. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to escapte from this "loop"?

Which Satellite L655? There is a label on the bottom.

In BootCamp Stuck in Startup Repair.

Hello I've Been using Bootcamp to play my windows games and becasue of its automatic update It turned off and i tryied to boot into it and now it's Stuck in Startup Repair and Now its Looping. Can anyone please help me get out of its annoying loop so i can play with my friends.
Thank you on whoever Helps.

Backups are always handy.
You tried booting from the Windows 7 DVD and that too isn't helping?
F8 Safe Mode can sometimes work and get you through.
If checkpoints were being made, which is automatic default, you might but some driver updates and others can be trouble.
If you can run chkdsk that is also sometimes able.
If you are low on disk space...?
Paragon Software CampTuneX $19 can redistribute space and check and see if it does more, like make an image.
WinClone 4.x $29 is Mac utility to make a disk image of Windows (be sure to have non-system drive to use to store it on) and while slow and can fail on restore sometimes does have its uses.
But try with Windows DVD -- and be prepared to reinstall. Windows 8 has improved the ability to refresh the OS and leave files intact, and added a better File History that is automatic once setup to make backups (but not a system image) and works similarly to TimeMachine in some respect.

Computer Stuck at Startup Repair

Last night I ran a chkdsk. It took awhile, and it was towards the end of the night and I fell asleep. When I woke up it said chkdsk complete but under it said an error occurred. I reset using the power button. When it booted back up it would stay stuck at a blue screen with the cursor. I tried safe mode and the other options in f8 and still the same issue. When I tried it again, Startup repair came up and now it's taking forever saying, searching for problems.

Hi,
Do you have recovery media with you, which you must have created after setting up the laptop first time?
Please test the hard drive - quick & extensive from BIOS, tap away f2 or ESC key as soon as you power on the laptop, enter System Diagnostics and do the tests. Wait for it to finish.

Persario cq57 i startup repair mode, nothing happening,

Daughters computer shut down, when i started it back up, gives me the choice of launch startup repair or start windows normally, arrows on her keyboard are not working, can not switch it to start windows normal. is there a way to bypass this screen to get back on the computer normal. or how do i put it into safe mode so i can fix her keyboard. the startup repair goes thru the process then just sits and does nothing.

Hello darryell,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that when starting up your daughters Notebook, its only going to the screen with "launch startup repair" or "start Windows normally". That when this occurs you cannot use the arrow keys to move up and down. I will try to help you with this.
Something you can try, is plugging in a keyboard to the Notebook (if you have one). This may allow you to bypass the built in keyboard. If you are already using an external, try unplugging it and using the built in. Also, just simply connecting and disconnecting one may "trick" the Notebook into correcting that issue on its own. (Note. you may need a USB keyboard for this).
Aside from that suggestion to provide you assistance with this could you please provide the following:
Model and Production number of the Notebook. (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?)
Operating system currently installed.
Please let me know if you were able to do that or not and I shall await your reply.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

HP Pavillion stuck in startup repair

Hi. I have a HP Pavillion g6 1d21ca. I think it was running windows 7. I started having problems with a blue screen that popped up a couple of times during start up, however the computer always continued to boot. I think the blue screen said there were errors, if this is the first time continue to boot. Then yesterday, the computer failed to boot. I got a black screen that said boot windows normally or launch start up repair. I tried booting windows normally however it was stuck on a grey screen. Then I tried launching start up repair which ran for a whole day and didn't seem to ever finish. I tried this a couple of times, same results. As I was writing this, I turned the laptop upside down to look at the bottom and now it won't even power up. My daughter received this as a Christmas gift last year and it was hardly used. I was using it to write papers for university and I need info off of it. I'm hoping someone can help.
This question was solved.

Satellite C850 stuck in automatic repair loop

Hey Everyone,
So I have a issue that really causng me problems.
Many times, my laptop goes to the blue screen of death and restarts.
This time, it randomly said "your PC did not start correctly" shut down and went directly to automatic repair.
Now, Im not able to get it to start properly. It keeps restarting and every time it goes to options such as doing system recovery, start-up repair, start-up setting, restarting etc. it just keeps looping with no way out. The problem is, my laptop is telling me I don't have an administrator account on it so I am unable to do any of the advanced options.
I really need to get my computer to work because I have files on it that I need. recovering those files is my number 1 priority.
Please, help. I would realy appreciate it.
Thanks

Ok so in the first picture
it shows what happens when i click system restore. What its displaying there is, i have no administrator account. So at the bottom it displays "Forgot your password or dont see your account?" I click on that to see if i can find my account, instead it tell me to restart (as you can see in the second picture)
which just loops and brings me back to the beginning.
In the third picture
it shows what happens when i click Command Prompt. What its displaying there is, i have no administrator account. So at the bottom it displays "Forgot your password or dont see your account?" I click on that to see if i can find my account, instead it tell me to restart (as you can see in the fourth picture)
which just loops and brings me back to the beginning. So both System restore and command prompt just loop after being clicked.
Then there is Start-up Setting. Here when i click it, it displays the options shown in picture 5.
Then after clicking any of the f1 threw f10 options it restarts and goes back to the beginning.
Any more questions feel free to ask. If you still dont understand i shall try to make a video.

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.

I factory restored my iphone and now it is stuck in repair mode. i cannot connect to itunes to restore as i get error "itunes cannot find disk"

i restored my iphone4 to factory settings because it was running slow and some apps werent working. My phone is now stuck in repair mode and is continually rebooting itself. I know the usual solution would be to restore via itunes but itunes will not allow me to do anything as i get the error "itunes cannot find disk"

Place your phone in DFU mode (search Google) and restore

Toshiba Satellite C50 Startup Repair not working

Right, first off I am not very technologically savvy so apologies if I sound like I've no idea what I'm talking about because, really I don't.
My Toshiba Satellite C50 froze last night and I had no other option but to hold the power button down to turn it off. When it switched back on again it froze at the start screen as Windows was opening. Alas, I had no other option but to press the power button down again, this time taking me to the Startup repair screen. Now I've ran this about 10 times and it keeps running forever, not solving any repair issues at all. Every time I try to start Windows normally it freezes at the same Windows is loading screen.
Also I cannot find the recovery disk that came with the laptop and have tried F8 but every option seems to take me to the Startup repair screen again which isn't solving anything.
Please help!

There won't be a physical disc, no manufacturer's provide those nowadays. You can access the hard drive's recovery partition, which provides similar functionality, by holding the zero key while booting up, form there you can restore to the out of the box state. That will wipe all data on the drive, but if the hardware is still functional that should resolve the issue.

My ipod is getting stuck on startup and i cannot even access the recovery mode. what can i do to resolve this problem?

Hi.
My ipod touch 5 is getting stuck on startup and i cannot even access the recovery mode.
what should i do to resolve this problem?

Try what you missed here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

System won't load after startup repair - Satellite A500

Hi guys,
I've got a problem with my laptop. I shut down my laptop directly by switching off from the switch. After I start the laptop the system recommends startup repair but it was unable to repair and after that it just went up to the welcome page and it won't load anymore.
Do anyone have any idea what is the problem?
Thank you

hi plioe,
can you run chkdsk on the hdd?
do you hear unusual sounds from the harddisk?
it seems that your harddisk has some problems...
this causes a slow startup or failure to boot...
but to be sure a recovery is recomended in some cases the software configuration went bad...

Yosemite stuck at startup

I Have a MacBook pro with Yosemite installed and Windows 8.1 via Bootcamp. Couple of hours back I had used Windows and then now when I tried booting to Mac it's stuck on startup. Basically I see the loading bar go approximately 40% and then the display dims with a loading circle showing up below the bar. This circle keeps rotating for sometime and finally just stops. Leaving it idle for 15 mins causes the display to dim to go off until I tap space bar. I tried resetting PRAM and also checked disk and repaired the disk using disk utility but still no luck. Attaching screenshot of the screen

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Display Driver Issues on Satellite L655-S5150 with Win10

I upgraded my Toshiba satellite (L655-S5150) to Windows 10 last week. Upgrade appeared successfully initially however shortly after the Win10 interface loads the computer will shut itself off. After exploring a number of possibilities it turns out the computer runs fine in safe mode or in low resolution mode selected from the mainteanance menu. So I feel quite certain like other issues I have seen with Win10 that have similarities to this one the issue is with the display driver. I tries updating the driver through device manager but it said I had the latest. Tried the Toshiba support pages and seem to be nothing new there for the "Intel HD Graphics" display driver. So seems at the moment I am stuck at low res mode if I want to have a functioning computer. Any ideas if there might be an updated driver out there, or can I change to something a little more generic that at least might allow me to boot in to normal mode and stay running?

Yes, have tried "update drivers" option and Windows Update option. No luck yet. Also searched manually for an updated driver on the Toshiba site and Intel site (Intel HD Graphics display adapter). I wish I could just load a generic display driver but every time I remove the Intel display driver and reboot it comes back after boot. Really a fix to the problem would be nice by anyone..... Microsoft, Toshiba, Intel, anyone......

How to install recovery image on my Satellite L655-121?

I Have a SATELLITE L655-121 Toshiba's labtop ,,,
I've made a Recovery to get rid of the problems i faced in Windows 8 beta ,, but the recovery didn't completed :(
Now i can't either repair or remake the recovery !! I've stuck !
I can't use the HDD Recovery that presents on ' D ' Driver !! and i don't have the CD on which the copy is present ,, i just have the Serial Number :D
The Widows is " 7 Home Premium OA "
The laptop is useless now ,, what should i do ? if i downloaded this Windows from Microsoft and used the S.N I have , should this work correctly ??

>... but the recovery didn't completed
How to understand this?
> if i downloaded this Windows from Microsoft and used the S.N I have , should this work correctly ??
No. serial number has nothing to do with recovery image.
If you want to have original Toshiba recovery image installed on your notebook you must order Toshiba recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Other option is to install own OS version and later install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities additionally. All of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
