Toshiba A665 Satellite boot failed and recover disc failed to boot

For some odd reason after my computer froze up and I restarted it I get stuck on the black screen and then it says the boot failed. I thought I could use the toshiba recover disc to fix the problem but it wont work either. I can get in the
bios screen but that is about it. Is there anything I can do?
Says the HDD/SDD not installed in bios

i had this problem
and my discs were not working either
but if you press f12 while the toshiba logo it will bring you to the boot manager and you can boot the disc drive. a messege will appear asking you to press any key to boot the cd and press "enter" then windows will load youre discs and start the toshiba reformat wizard! so i hope this works

GTX 660Ti Pe 2GD5/OC driver fail and recover, artifacts on screen

Hello everyone,
Some days ago my pc started suddenly to show artifacts on screen, and a fail and recover message of the video driver showed in the taskbar.
This happened since I bought FC3 Blood Dragon (the game is very unstable, crashes),obviously I don't know if this is related.
This happened also during web navigation and the windows pc score test.
I have updated the nvidia driver to latest version, but it's still the same.
I have W8 64bit and MSI Z77 MPower, the VGA isn't oc.

[UPDATE]
Guys please help me,
this morning at the boot , the horizontal white lines appeared again (with the two stick of memory that yesterday I believed were good).
These lines, i don't know how,caused windows 8 crashing at startup, then I heared a bip form the inside of the pc, windows failed to recovery and then appeared a message that was necessary to restore from a previous checkpoint ! But the mouse was not working so I rebooted from the onboard button in the motherboard.
Now the mouse works, the system seems ok, but really i don't understand this situation.
Is possible that the bad ram sticks are more than one ?
that BIP: that may have been a bip to signify that the Graphics card had CRASHED.... (maybe your Graphics card may be the main Fault here and its got bad VRAM)
your RAM: totally possible that more then one is BAD which is why i said "test each pair or better yet test each Stick individually if possible!" that way you can find out if one or more are bad...

The blue screen message that I get a lot of time at windows closure is "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA"
page fault is a HDD error and may be as a resort of the crash and some bad DATA has been wrote to your HDD or SSD! could also be a RAM Error Sending bad DATA to your hard drive thats not clean....

Display drivers have failed and recovered.

First off I have a k450e that i bought in August. I started receiving the message "Display driver has failed and recovered" yesterday when trying to play several games. It will freeze just after starting a game revert to the windows screen and display that message. It was working fine the night before, no updates were applied that i'm aware of. I have tried a clean installation of drivers, rolling back drivers and have even recovered my system to how it was when I bought it. I have only had this PC for 3 months and have never encountered anything like this, especially in such a short amount of time of owning a system. Please help

Its only a driver issue
use a program called driver sweep to remove your gfx card drivers then reinstall the drivers
anything could cause a problem with the drivers for a program being install or uninstalled

SL upgrade installation failed and now macbook won't boot

Hi all,
I did some searching in the forums, but I couldn't find this answer -- I'm sorry if it has already been asked/answered.
I have a 2.5 yr old intel macbook that was running leopard, and I bought the SL upgrade.
My mac has been hovering around 0-10 gigs of free space for the past 6 months or more. It tends to stay very full since I have a lot of photos and music. When my HD reaches it capacity, I usually connect up to my timemachine (500gb) and dump off 10-30 gigs of pictures, then repeat the process.
So, I had around 4 GB free when I tried to install SL, it said it wasn't enough so I deleted some movies/downloaded content quickly, restarted, then tried again and with 7-10gb free (I don't remember exactly) it let me begin the install and choose my Mac HD to install it to.
I came back and it said there was an error and it needed to restart and try again.
After restarting, the mac can no longer find the boot disk, and I put the CD back in and did disk diagnostic. The diag said it needed to try to repair. I tried to repair and it said, this in unrepairable. You need to try to save off as much data as you can, clean/clear the disk and reinstall the operating system.
If I try to restart the system and let it load normally, it stays on the grey Apple loading screen with the spinning circle. After 30-60 seconds it just turns off because it is failing to mount or boot the disk (I'm assuming).
Does this seem strange? My computer is basically saying the disk is done and you need to reformat, but I don't feel like it's really corrupted. When running the diag test, the app unmounts the disk to test and then can never re-mount until I restart, so that's also weird.
I have not backed up my computer in 40-60 days so I would really be taking a step back if I just wiped it right now then tried to get some data back from my time machine.
Is there a way that I get access the disk somehow to move data to my time machine, or USB, or something, before I wipe it out? Also, can the SL disk wipe and reinstall the OS or do I need the OSX Tiger/leopard installation disks?
Thank you very much for any advice, sorry again if this is a repeat question.

This is VERY bad. you should keep at least 10% (better 15%) of drive space free at all times to avoid potentially serious problems resulting from disk fragmentation. they can lead to ALL kinds of issues including catastrophic directory damage which you likely got.
It tends to stay very full since I have a lot of photos and music. When my HD reaches it capacity, I usually connect up to my timemachine (500gb) and dump off 10-30 gigs of pictures, then repeat the process.
this is a VERY bad idea too. Time Machine is a backup tool, not an archiving one. using it as an archiving tool as you did can and will lead to data loss. TM constantly thins its backups. it keeps hourly backups for 24 hours, daily backups for 30 days and weekly backups till the TM drive is full. the backups are thinned without warning. and when the drive gets full it starts deleting old backups to make room for new ones. it's supposed to warn you about it once if you have that option checked in system preferences. but this warning is only given once and sometimes not at all.
So, I had around 4 GB free when I tried to install SL, it said it wasn't enough so I deleted some movies/downloaded content quickly, restarted, then tried again and with 7-10gb free (I don't remember exactly) it let me begin the install and choose my Mac HD to install it to.

no, it doesn't.

oh yes, it is. the only wonder is that this didn't happen sooner given that you were keeping the drive as full as you did.
When running the diag test, the app unmounts the disk to test and then can never re-mount until I restart, so that's also weird.

you don't need leopard or tiger disks. you can do a full system restore from TM using the snow leopard disk. you can try to get some data off the drive first. do you have access to another mac? does your macbook has a firewire port? if yes you can boot it in target mode, connect it to another drive by a firewire cable and copy what you need to a different drive from there. otherwise you'd have to either do it from terminal while booted from the SL DVD or install SL on an external drive , boot from that and do it from there. also, you can try using Disk Warrior or a similar tool on your main drive. It may work where Disk Utility failed.
Thank you very much for any advice, sorry again if this is a repeat question.

Satellite C850-1CF and Win 8 - need to boot from CD

Hello,
I need to boot from a CD on my C850-1CF which came with win8 preinstalled.
F12 is not presented at boot time. I understand this is because of UEFI.
To boot from a CD, what should I do (change boot to legacy ?). If so, how do I revert back to UEFI (Win8 does not start if boot mode is set to legacy).
Pierre

Hello
What you must do at first is to perform a complete shutdown .
After doing this start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot menu. There is option Enter Setup. Choose this option and enter BIOS settings.
After doing this follow instructions described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03F30002R01.htm and http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

Dual Boot Arch and Windows 8 from Windows Boot

I tried doing some research before posting but haven't had too much luck. I just upgraded to Windows 8, but after having a nice experience with Arch previously on VirtualBox, I thought I would dual boot this time... and this is my first post.
I followed the Beginners Installation Guide and the Win Arch Dual Boot and then did some reading on setting up the BCD manager in Windows following from the link in the Arch Wiki.
My setup is as follows
/dev/sda1 = Windows (>150 GB)
/dev/sda2 = /boot (100 MB)
/dev/sda3 = / (15 GB)
/dev/sda5 = /var (8 GB)
/dev/sda6 = /home (~65 GB)
The linux portions are all ext4, but after reading the above article on the BCD Manager, I realized I left out the FAT32 partition so Windows can see it (note... if I get this to work, I will try and update the wiki to mention that).
So the problem is I used up all my hard drive space and need to make room for the FAT32 section. I was wondering
a) how to resize the /home partition to make room for the FAT32 partition
or
b)if I were to delete the /home entirely and just add an sda4 (FAT32) and sda6 (/home) (since I forgot to use sda4), do I need to go through the pacstrap process again, or generate an fstab again, or just edit the fstab manually?
or
c) there is a possibility that I missed something where I shouldn't need to have an FAT32 section.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the help!
I was able to use GParted to add that extra partition and was able to generate the proper file for Windows to see, and then copy over to the C: drive (which is what's missing from the Wiki).
I unfortunately had some issues that kept me starting in emergency mode, so after some time spent in the fstab section and setting the right filesystems, I was able to get it to work!

Update failed and DVD install failed

Hi, this my first time to post something here.
My new MBP 13" troubles me for two days. Yesterday, i tried to update my system from SL 10.6.6 to 10.6.8. After i finished the progress bar, the computer stuck at a white apple screen. The wheel below the apple logo keep rolling for nearly three hours, but nothing changes. Then i reboot my MBP, and every time i stuck at the white screen. I also tried the 'Option+Command+P+R', but nothing changed.
I don't have a time machine for my system, so i try to reinstall my system from the DVD that go with my MBP. Error occurs and the install failed. The log shows that:
Failed to verify BSD.pkg
Retrying file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg after 1 failure(s)
Failed to verify BSD.pkg
Retrying file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg after 2failure(s)

Failed to validate file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg
Failed to download package from file://localhost/System/Installation/Packages/BSD.pkg and no alternate source.
then i try to customize the install and throw all the optional items(like printer, font, X11...). Similar error occurs: "Failed to verify Essential.pkg"
Since i don't have any important data in my MBP, then i erase the hard disk using 'disk utility' with the option "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and "Zero Out Data". Then another error occurs:
Looking for system packages
no system packages found
No or Invalid system receipts found on /Volumes/Macintosh HD

"com.apple.user*pictureCache*"
Now i don't know what else i can do about it. Did i take any stupid move? Is this the problem of the DVD disk or other hardware probelm?

Satellite U300-13U fails to boot and Recovery disc fails to work too

Hi All,
I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it has been nothing but a right pain since the first day we got it.
I have had it about 2 years & must have had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the Product Recovery Disc as laptop wouldn't boot.
The laptop runs Vista.
Anyway problem I have now is that once again laptop fails to boot but for some reason Product Recovery disc also fails to work.....
What can I do...
I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how/ what S/W do I use.....?
The laptop has a 160Gb SATA HD installed. How can I check this is all working.
I have no idea if current problem is S/W or hardware related..
Does Toshiba have a utility I can use...?
Many thanks for any help....
John

Hi Paolo,
Thks for the reply. I have made some success since I posted. I actually downloaded Ubuntu & created a boot up disk. I have managed to successfully load this alongside the Vista (which doesn't work) & everything seems OK - so all I can say is that it must be somekind of s/w issue or perhaps damaged sectors or something on the Vista install.
I am happy to use Ubuntu - it will be interesting to see if I have to do anymore reformats in future...
Thks, John

Computer and Recover program won't boot after virus forces me to format C: drive.

I recently got the MS antispyware 2009 virus which made me lose my internet, task manager, regedit, disk management, and rpc server. It also made my settings all retarded. I had the classic start up screen, and classic windows screens and taskbar. Even though I had my settings set to the newer windows settings. I tried to use the rescue and recovery program from windows and had no success in recovering. I also tried pressing F11 during startup to try and enter the rescue and recovery program again with no success. And by that I mean I couldn't enter the program. I got tired of troubleshooting and said screw it and opened partition manager and tried formatting my c: drive. I tried to do it from my computer but I couldn't. I turned my computer back on and it wont boot anything. It shows the think center screen and then goes to a blank black screen. F11 still doesn't work and I'm now at a stand still. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a similar probem,due to some virus my whole Think program got deleted including many other files and no chanse for recovery.
I thought of formating and reinstaling Xp but the cd dosen't boot.It comes to the ThinkCenter screen then the curser flashes and the error as follows "error Loading Operating System".Im searching the whole site to find solution since 2 days.I don't even have a recovery cd as the PC was second hand.Please hep.

TechTool Delux - VRAM Failed and Volume Structure Failed

So I ran TechTool Delux today.. my VRAM failed, as well as my Volume structure.
Now, it says that I should quit all apps, restart, check recently added hardware for proper installation, run the computer from another volume (if available), reinstall the OS, and finally contact applecare.
now, is it really necessary to reinstall the OS? i'm not even sure if I could, i'm not experienced with reinstalling an OS.
as for the Volume structure fail, it asks me to run techtool on boot, which is what i'm about to do.
anybody have experience with these fails? any help is appreciated.

When VRAM fails on a Powerbook, it means the logicboard needs replacement as the graphics chip is usually on the logicboard.
Volume structure failure may indicate a hard drive dying or simply a damaged directory. If your data isn't backed up, I'd get Prosoft Data Rescue and external hard drive to attempt to recover data from the drive. If your data is backed up, I'd get Alsoft Disk Warrior to attempt to repair the directory. To learn how to backup your data, see my FAQ*:

Dual Boot 32 and 64 Bit Xp Pro - boot.ini changes

Well I am up and running both 32 Bit and 64 Bit XP Pro and initially 64 Bit has a few lags up on me. System is as follows
MSI K8N Neo4 Plat with AMD Athlon 64 3000, 2 X Corsair 512-3200C2PT (1GB RAM), Western Digital WD2500JD Caviar SE, WD360 Raptor, WD2500BB Caviar, Seagate ST3300831A, Plextor 712A & 716A, Samsung 816A, ATI X600 All-in-Wonder with 256MB RAM, Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
I used the 32bit drivers provided on a disk and for 64 Bit I was able to get ATI, nVidia, and that is all. Bot 32bit and 64 bit are working well. On several occasions more often than not. i have to edit the boot.ini to add back in the 64 bit option. Why? I can not link the deletion to anything specific. Now if it is supposed to delete to option that woul dbe a new one.
Any thoughts?

Did you write the initial boot.ini file or is it one that Windows automatically wrote for you? Are the two OS's on the same HDD or on different HDD's? Which OS did you install last?
The Windows written boot.ini has always worked fine for me. If you installed Win 64 first and then Win 32, that could cause problems.

10.1.3.0 install on solaris em url fails and name resolution fails

Hi
I wondered if anybody would know this. I installed 10.1.3.0 app server on solaris and my hosts file is ok I can resolve mymachine.domain.com. The install is a clean 10.1.3.0 install. I have the 9.2.0.7 db installed elsewhere on the box.
Opmnctl tells me that my oc4j and http instances are alive (home) and i can get to the first http page.
http://<ipaddress>:7777
with no problems but when i click on the link on the rhs redirection to the http://<ipaddress>:7777/em url fails so i cannot get the console up.
Question is why is the em not responsiong but it appears to be running and installed ok.
Question 2 is why does the em link resolve to localhost when i go to the em.
Hosts file looks ok and seems to resolve with ping. Machine is on network but not in any dns.
Has anybody got any suggestions? There is absolutely 0 error messages in the logfiles.
I have installed other servers in the past without any issues at all at other places on other machines.
Thanks

If you check the logs of ons, you can check which IP opmn is bound to. This might end up being localhost, instead of public. This might have to do something with this EM issue. By adding <ipaddr request="$PUBLIC_IP" remote="$PUBLIC_IP" /> to opmn.xml this can be solved (please do check the documentation for the exact syntax!!!!)
Could you also check what servername is defined in your httpd.conf, this might have something to do with the resolving thing (also check useCaconicalName parameter)

NB100 - Boot failure and how to do a system rollback?

I have tried to do an update on my Toshiba NB100 11R (less than a month old) and it failed, and now I can't boot it.
I sadly know nothing about Linux based systems. Have tried to boot from the CD (supplied) with an external USB disk drive and can't find anywhere to do a rollback/early boot record to restore from, and I am now stuck with a dead machine.
Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks, Bill

When you switch on, press F12 a few times to enter the boot menu - from there you should be able to choose to boot from the recovery CD (not sure in your case if it would count as a CD or USB device - trial and error I guess!).

Unable to install Boot Camp and Windows 8.1 on Mac Mini

Hello,
My computer is a late 2012 mac mini with fusion drive. OS is OSX 10.9.1. Also an apple external optical drive and a Windows 8.1 full install DVD. I attempted to install Boot Camp and Windows 8.1 and failed.
I ran Boot Camp Assistant and first problem was when it rebooted the computer - I got a text message that said the OS was missing. After a while I tried holding down the Option key while rebooting, then I got several choices to boot from - I chose the windows disk, and windows installation started.
I was eventually given a list of 6 or 7 partitions to chose from, to install windows into. I settled on the one marked BOOTCAMP. It seemed the best guess. But the installer said that it could not install on this partition. Something about the wrong format or EFI or boot partition(s)?? In fact, the installer would not let me install into any of the listed partitions.
I restarted Boot Camp and it allowed me to remove the boot camp partition and revert to OSX only. Thanks for that!
My questions: is Windows 8.1 supported with my configuration? I know the FAQ says it is not. If in fact it is, did I do something wrong?
Thanks,
Doug

Poking around, I found an installation manual which was downloaded to my USB drive with the boot camp windows drivers. It says that when I reached the point in the windows installer where I'm given a choice of partitions, I should choose the one marked BOOTCAMP, and format it. Which I didn't think to try before. So I tried again, using Boot Camp Assistant from the top.
Failure again. This time, when the computer rebooted, I selected the Windows icon as before, but I got a text message saying that the boot manager couldn't be found, and a dead stop.
I also found that on the option-key reboot disk selection screen, I could eject the windows install disk and reinsert it. When I did that, I got the Windows boot icon and another icon labeled EFI boot. So I also tried that icon, with the same result.
So, I'm doing exactly what I did before (I think), but now the windows installer won't start.

HP laptop update failed, and now it wont stop undoing changes.

When I went on my laptop today it started updating, and after an hour when it finally got to 99% it said they the update failed, and it's now undoing changes. It's been like that for over 3 hours now. How can I try to fix this?

You can try getting to Advance Boot Menu by
1. Repeatly pressing f8when the laptop boot up (Disable FASTBOOT when you are tyring to get into Advance boot menu)
2.Shift and F8 (When the first options doesn't help at all )
then use the Keyboard arrow keys to navigate around Advance boot menu and select Last known good boot configration or restore this PC (Please be minded that if you choose restoring it will restore to a back to the last known backup , as data will be lost )
Please update here if there is still any problems
