Satellite p75-a7200 error on boot. Please help ASAP.
Just bought this laptop for my daughter on Christmas. Here is the error information.
When I power on the system I get a blue screen with this on it.
Recovery
Your PC Needs to be repaired
The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.
File: \BCD\
Error Code 0xc0000034
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. (And so on)
Press ESC for UEFI firmware Settings (This only puts me into system BIOS)
How can I make this recovery tool(s) when I can not even get into Windows 8?
Note: I have another laptop that I can use, but im not able to make a Bootable USB for some reason in Windows 7.

In case Windows does not boot, you should be able to enter the recovery environment, which in Windows 8.x looks like the picture below.
From Troubleshoot you can go to System Restore, Safe Mode, Startup repair ("Automatic Repair"), a command prompt, the BIOS/UEFI, or even restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents from the recovery partition..
According to Microsoft, trying and failing to boot several times will eventually take you to the recovery environment instead. According to Toshiba, you can also get there by pressing F2 or the zero key on powering up.
Try many times.
Have you upgraded to Windows 8.1?

My Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot
Hi all,
tried to update my Satellite P75-A7200 to 8,1 .
Now it won't start up anymore. It said no BOOTABLE DEVICE. I've tried to press F12 when turning on the computer; BOOT menu come up, I don't have the HDD RECOVERY option.
Can somebody let me know how to fix it or where I can get the RECOVERY MEDIA?
Thank you.I found very interesting document about recovery options after system upgrade to Win8.1
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4403L30001R01.htm
I didnt test it because I have created recovery USB before I have started to change preinstalled OS and installed Win8.1 upgrade.
Please check it out and send some feedback. -
Satellite P75-A7200 won't boot
Hello all,
I've had my Satellite P75 for over a year and it's performed flawlessly. Recently though, when I power off the laptop before I go to bed and then turn it on in the morning, it takes over a half hour for the boot sequence to actually reach Windows 8.1. The laptop's power light and keyboard both illuminate, so the unit obviously still receives power. Now, though, it hangs at a black screen and won't reach windows at all after having left it running for over 2 hours.
I've tried removing and re-inserting the main battery, CR-2032 battery, and HDD, as well as multiple F2 and F12 button combinations on startup. The laptop still stays at a black screen upon power-up and won't reach Windows at all. I can't access the BIOS or the advanced startup options as it doesn't even reach the Toshiba logo anymore. I've made sure not to leave the AC adaptor plugged in as I know it can overcharge the battery; I've also experienced a strange electric current on the aluminium housing of the laptop when it's plugged in (Could this be because the AC adaptor uses 2 prongs and therefore isn't grounded?).
Any quick fixes or help for this would be much appreciated. Thanks.I found very interesting document about recovery options after system upgrade to Win8.1

Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change
My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
cannot re-enter bios.
Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple 1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
UPDATE
to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
3 download bios from toshiba website.
4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app.
7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win
8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery -
Satellite P75-A7200 Wireless Card Upgrade
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their Wireless Card in their Satellite P75-A7200. Until I got it home, I didn't realize that it was only a single band card and doesn't support 5ghz wireless N which is all I run my network on at home for bandwidth purposes since my neighborhood is flooded with 2.4 ghz users. It appears its a simple swap to change, but I need to know if if the Antennas support 5ghz.
According to Intel's Docs:
"Before installing Intel® wireless adapters supporting IEEE* 802.11a, verify with the laptop manufacturer that the laptop includes a 5GHz (802.11a) capable antenna..."
I was going to switch it out with a Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth
I'm just not sure about the midle antenna port that the 6300 has since the P75-A7200 only has 2 wireless
Attached is what adapter I currently have installed. (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230)
Any help is appreciated. I am a very technical person, so I'm not a noob at this. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.I was finally able to extract the screw very gently with a power drill and #1 screw extractor. I then installed the new card in under 15 seconds. Booted right up and I had 5gz connectivity with upwards pf 160mbps (and I'm not even close to the router). No need to update any drivers. Definitly worth the $30 investment. Thanks to priuscat for providing the information on what card to get.
Attached is exactly how the new card looks from Amazon

Satellite P75-A7200 hard drive mount connector
I am missing the hard drive mount that secures the additional hard drive on the Satellite P75-A7200.
Does anybody know where I could find this piece?About a month ago I replaced failed 20GB hard drive in a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 with a 40GB Samsung 2.5" Hard Drive that I bought from PC World for 45 (ordered via their website using the collect@store option). Since then the laptop has performed without problems.The only minor annoyance is that the recovery CD's formatted the new hard drive with 2 20MB partitions rather than a single one of 40MB. The main thing to check if you are not replacing drives on a like for like basis is that the power consumption of the replacement drive is no greater than that of the original otherwise you could encounter overheating problems.
The smaller (20GB and 30GB) drives originally fitted to the A10 no longer appear to be readily available. A 40GB Toshiba 2.5" hard drive is available from MISCO for around 49+delivery.
Hope this helps.

This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue. -

hi, I was trying to update my iPhone 3gS but when I turn it on again iTunes send me a message that says error 3194 occurs, please help me!!
If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios. -

I backed up my movies and rebuild my computer, and after making sure i'm using the latest version of itunes and quicktime and and making sure i still had spare computer authorizations, i still get error 23132. Please help.
I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole. -
Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).
