Satellite U200-115 Failure to Boot

Our 2 year old Satellite suddenly refuses to boot.
Power is OK
I have a 'Product Recovery' CD but this seems to destroy all programs and data.
I've never had a boot disc
I'm running (was running) Windows XP
Any advice welcome.

Hi!
What do mean with refuses to boot? Do you have black screen or can you see anything?
If Windows fails to start (however) I would reinstall it with the recovery disk. Of course all programs and data will be deleted but you can backup it, if put the HDD in an external HDD case or boot with a Linux CD and save the data on an external HDD.
The recovery disk contains the factory settings. That means a preinstalled Windows with drivers and tools from Toshiba.
Bye

  • Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - can't activate the drive from windows

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some problems with my DVD rewriter drive on my Satellite U200-115.
    It works very intermittently and whenever I power up the machine, the first notice I get is 'cd-rom error' even though there is no disc in the drive.
    I can't activate the drive from windows either (icon in system tray).
    There is the odd occassion when the drive does work in windows but this is so infrequent that I can't remember the last time (I think it was back in Nov 08).
    I want to restore the system as I am getting a lot of windows file icons instead of the proper icons for images e.g. pdf, doc, etc. but am worried that the drive wont read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Best WIshes
    Nick

    If its a software issue the drive will not stop working during the recovery procedure.
    Do you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?
    You could try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If this work it would be a software problem and not a hardware problem.
    Maybe this article from the Microsoft Knowledge Base can help you:

  • Satellite U200-115: Vista found new device - PCMCIA MTD-002

    Booted up my notebook and am getting a Vista found new hardware screen looking for the drivers for a "PCMCIA MTD-002" device. Have no idea what this is...but I am certain that I haven't used the PCMCIA slot since I got the computer. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Emul

    Hey emul,
    I got the about the same problem with my Satellite Pro U200. After rebooting from "sleeping-mode" Vista is looking for a driver for the new found device PCMCIA MTD-0002, although there is no card installed.
    Did you get your problem solved in some way up to now?
    Thanks

  • Satellite U200-115: Does Recovery Disk contains WinXP

    Does the above disk also contain (XP) the windows operating software? or should I be making another back up disk?

    Hi
    Generally the Toshiba recovery disk contains an operating system, Toshiba drivers, utilities and additional software like WinDVD for example.
    If your notebook was delivered with Windows XP then the recovery CD will contain the Windows XP.
    If the notebook was delivered with Vista then the Vista OS was placed on the recovery CD!
    I hope everything is clear now!

  • Satellite L - system failure to boot and no HDD in BIOS

    HI all, my laptop for some reason doesn't seem to think it has a hard drive installed, it says none in the BIOS for hard drive.
    I made the mistake of not making recovery disks.
    Anyone have any idea of anything I can do to get this working again?
    Thanks

    Hello
    It sounds like that your HDD is faulty because the BIOS doesnt recognize it.
    I think you must replace the HDD and reinstall Windows using Microsoft installation disk. All drivers and tools you can download on the Toshiba website:

  • System Restore problem on Satellite C660-115

    Hello everyone,
    The Satellite C660-115 my niece has a problem and I would like to make it serviceable for his Christmas.
    Turning on the computer's voltage giving as final result the message: * Can not find the operating system will ", so I tried System Restore by first pressing the 0 key, and after many tests, changing the order of the boot and the other (with F2 or F12) ... But there was nothing.
    From there, I realized that I could not go further without original recovery DVD from Toshiba. So I ordered last Saturday and got today Thursday. After as indicated by Toshiba (boot sequence beginning on CD drive), the system begins to upload (Windows is loading files ...) and then propose, on a nice table, the available languages, and choose .. .dropoff window
    If, until then, everything seemed to unfold as it should, that's that clicking the "next" button to validate my choice of language an error message appears in a dialog box named RecoGUI:
    ERROR:. IOCTL_GET_DISK_LENGTH _INFO \\ \ PHYSICALDRIVE0 The device is not ready.
    When I press OK, then it is in French:
    The hard disk # 0 is not available or incorrect RAID configuration!
    I still presses OK (I do not have much choice) and then present the following window restoration that requires me to validate the language of the operating system to install ... French (Windows Win 7)
    and states: The current size of restoration is to: Expert Mode
    Again, I click OK and a warning box warns me that: All hard drives will be completely erased. Would you like to continue?
    OK ... and cmd prompt appears that says (in short)
    Checking for Drive V: V Drive not mounted ...
    Ckecking for Drive C: ... C: unmounted!
    ending with: ERROR Copying of Recovery Base files failed!
    Press any key to continue (if I do, I find the Toshiba screen, and another cmd prompt that says so;
    Waiting for ODD To Become available ...
    ODD Drive D: ready.
    Check for medium in Drive D; ...
    Continue ...
    Drvload: Successfully loaded X: \ Windows \ inf \ battery.inf.
    No RAID - Normally continues ...
    Installation in progress ...
    Press any key to continue ... which, if I do, then placed below:
    X: \ Windows \ system32>
    That's where I stayed, because I always come back to the same.
    Could someone be kind enough to help me solve this problem?
    A big thank you in advance ...

    From my point of few we should consider two possible issues.
    1) faulty image on the new recovery disk
    2) problem with HDD as well as the partitions
    In my opinion you should check the HDD firstly.
    You can run some tests, for example you could try to install the Windows system using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (image)
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit image can be downloaded here:
    http://msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net/msvista/pub/X15-65733/X15-65733.iso
    But of course, you will not be able to activate this system without a valid serial key
    So you can use this image just for testing purposes.
    In case the image installation would run flawlessly, your recovery installation problem might be related to the faulty recovery media.
    In such case you should try to contact the recovery media provider in order to get another, new good working media.

  • Satellite U200-181 Built-in HDD ERROR

    I've bought "Toshiba Satellite U200-181" 2 weeks ago. Recently (2-3 days ago) Ive got problem with built-in HDD.
    So the problem is that sometimes I'm getting the message "Built-in HDD ERROR" during Notebook startup. This message "Built-in HDD ERROR" appears from time to time and system stops booting from HDD, but can boot from other bootable devices. First time when message "Built-in HDD ERROR" occurred, it was accompanied by lot of strange clapper pop noise from inside of the Notebook. All other
    "Built-in HDD ERROR" messages were accompanied with not so loud and strange clapper pop noise, but still with some pop sounds (not as loud as at first time).
    To identify possible problems I saved S.M.A.R.T. data log (see appendix#1).
    Additional information: After I've purchased the Notebook Ive made successful BIOS upgrade from version 1.40 to version 1.50 strictly according Toshiba official web-site instructions. After BIOS upgrade system worked well, no ERRORS, no faults. But 3days ago I got "Built-in HDD ERROR" message.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    I recommend you to contact Toshiba service partner in your country as soon as possible. The unit is new one and something like this should not happen. Explain them the situation and you will see what they can do about it.
    You can also contact your local dealer and try to exchange the unit to new one.

  • Failure to boot after restarting, no distinct pattern.

    My Mac Pro has an issue where every third or fourth restart the mac will fail to boot, needing me to hold the power button until it turns off.
    I get the grey apple and the spinning progress wheel for 30 seconds, then the screen stays grey and the apple is replaced by what looks like a circle with a diagonal bar through it. I believe this means something along the lines of 'No Bootable Directory Found'.
    Before the 10.5.2 update this happened almost every restart. I'm using a Samsung Spinpoint 750gig drive as my boot drive, and the stock 500gig drive as a media disk.
    I have tried several solutions. Repair permissions, Disk Utility from CD and run verify and repair disk, AHT extensive, TechTool Deluxe with surface scan, Format and Reinstall (twice), Memtest, NVRam.
    Could the Samsung drive be bad even though I can't get any software to find a fault?

    Here is a console log of the most recent failure to boot. The events here are a restart, a failure to boot, a forced off and a power on. Hopefully this helps.

  • Re: Memory upgrade on Satellite U200

    Where is the memory located on this model as can not see it with any removableable panel?
    Ta

    Do you mean the Satellite U200?
    The RAM slots are placed under the keyboard. So you must remove the keyboard holder (between keyboard and LCD), remove the screws securing the keyboard and then remove the keyboard.
    On the right side are the memory cover and the RAM slots.
    I have no experience with notebook disassembling, to go an local ASP and ask an technician for help.

  • Re: Satellite C660-115 Very strange Wifi problems!

    I've been busy solving a wireless problem on a C660-115, still without success.
    Satellite C660-115
    Windows 7 - 64Bits
    The case:
    - Laptop is connected to the power supply: Wifi works fine, no problems
    - Laptop disconnected from power supply: Wifi won't work, although there sometimes seems to be a connection with the access point/wifi router.
    No internet/network communication
    - Laptop connected to the power supply --> wifi works, unplugging the power supply --> after a 1/2 minute or so, no internet connection...
    I tried to find a new driver, but we already use the latest version.
    Then i switched off the "This computer may switch of this device to save energy" function, without succes.
    Ideas anyone?

    I had same problem with C660 running windows 7 losing internet access but not network connection whilst using battery power, but no problems when connected to mains power.
    Solution; Change power plan to high performance. I found this sovlved the problem instantly.

  • Satellite C850-1j1 does not boot anymore

    my laptop Satellite C850-1j1 doesn't boot anymore.
    Happened after partition changes. shows a error screen telling me the computer needs to be repaired using recoverymedia,
    I've got a working hirens boot cd and usb (tested on other comp.) but the laptop is not responding
    op. system win 8 64 bit brandnew.
    suggestions are welcome

    Hi
    The message says that you have to install the system again using recovery media
    As far as I know the notebook was preinstalled with the WIN 8 64BIT system.
    You can use the HDD recovery option
    Power on the unit and press F12.
    Then choose HDD recovery option appearing in the boot menu.
    Follow the instruction on the screen
    Good luck!

  • Compatible DVD Drive problem on Satellite U200

    I am over in Iraq and my commander's cd drive quit on the Satellite U200 laptop. The drive that was in there was UJDA765 which cannot burn DVD's. The problem with that drive is it quit seeing DVD's and the CD part only worked sometime and then it made noise.
    I looked for a compatible DVD burner to replace it with and found UJ-822B. Several sites said it was compatible and I found people that say they were using it. Can anyone tell me if it really is? I already had the drive shipped here. Is there something that I need to do to get the laptop to see it? It does not show up in the hardware section, but it has power and opens and closes correctly. I have moved to the point of considering flashing the bios, I have done that many times but do not see any benefit as the changes in the new BIOS.
    If I was wrong, can someone tell me a DVD burner that is compatible?

    Thanks Barrie,
    I ordered the 765 and installed it, however now I am getting the pxe driver error on bootup and the drive is not found. I checked the in the bios and saw no problems, I did change the order of bootup and that did not resolve the problem as I found that recommended on several sites.
    I removed the battery and checked the connections but the plug it plugs into is soldered to the board so that is not a problem. The old drive had a cd/dvd (755 model), it is still found but only the CD works, the dvd does not.
    I thought about replacing the laser on the drive itself, but now that I have the new drive and it still is not working I am not sure. I am going to replace the bios with the newest version but other than that I think this laptop is just shot.

  • Mac Pro Display flicker & failure to boot

    Hello people who are smarter than me.
    I have a 2008 Mac Pro 3.2/ 8CX 8800GT with the original Geforce video card installed.  When I turn the machine on I get a grey screen with a black bar at the top, with no evidence of an actual boot (such as a darker grey apple in the middle of the screen.
    After a minute or so, the screen retains the form of the black and white horizontal bar at the top but adds a rapidly cycling/strobing organge red and yellow flicker reminiscent of the old Monty Python crazy title screens....  It looks like this if you blink fast enough... or take a still photo.
    I live in Haiti, where a fair amount of dust is constantly invading my tower, so I've had dust related issues before with memory... THis time, I don't think it's that.  I've cleaned out the tower with pressurized air, reseated the memory and reseated the video card as well, to no advantage.  The problem first came when the computer was working fine and while my daughter was opening a page on Firefox the screen just started jittering with this little color show.  At the time, though, you could still see the desktop behind all the flickering.  Now the computer doesn't seem to even boot.  If I have to fly to the states to fix this, I'd love to not have to haul the whole machine, so if we can get this down to a couple likely parts that I could travel with, test and replace, that would be great.  This is a hardware issue, right? Would video card failure make sense of this AND the failure to boot?  AND if I do replace it, is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit still the ticket?  If you help me, you'll be helping a lot of Haitians too, as I use this computer for humanitarian work with the Apparent Project.  Help me Obi Geeks, you're my only hope!

    Okay, so after doing all of the above, the computer still takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute or so to boot up, and the VersionCue messages still appear. However I discovered that the "kdcmond cannot retrieve..." messages disappeared after I disabled my ethernet connections. So at least I know that that had nothing to do with the extended boot-up time.
    I have heard that the more RAM you have, the longer it takes to boot due to the RAM count. Since I have 10 GB, maybe this is why?
    I've included the most recent Console messages below:

  • How can I see the quantity of battery cycles on Satellite U200-181?

    I have Satellite U200-181, and I use it hard, every. I want to be ready replace my battery, when it will have 400 cycles.
    How can I see the quantity of battery cycles on my laptop?

    You must not see this. You will see that capacity of the battery drops down and will be empty after short time. Nobody say that you will be able to use battery 400 cycles only. Maybe you will be lucky and the battery will have longer life time.
    My Tecra M1 is about 4 years old and still working with original battery.
    Your question is pretty unusual and I am really interested about further comments.
