Windows 7 will not boot on new Satellite C660-195

Hi,
I have just purchased a Toshiba Satellite C660-195 with Windows 7 pre-installed.
This morning I have switched it on and it came up with a black box with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe in it. This box then disappeared and Startup Repair kicked in. It then told me Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically. The advice was to remove any device which had been recently attached to the laptop (such as a webcam or music device) but I have not installed any hardware or devices. I clicked finish and it shut down the laptop.
I switched it on again and the same thing happened (again and again!)
One forum suggests trying the following: Click the 'view advanced options for system recovery and support' link which asks me to choose my keyboard configuration but then when I do & click next it tells me "You must log in to access system recovery options" I am never given the option to log in!!
When accessing the Advanced Startup options using F8 I am still unable to solve this problem. The same thing (above) happens when I try to start in all Safe modes, Last Known Good Configuration (advanced), Debugging mode, Start Windows normally etc. I just don't understand it.
Upon searching other forums they have suggested holding down zero whilst switching on and then chosing Windows 7 to restore the laptop to its factory settings but the same thing happens - it just shows the black screen with x:windows\system32\drvload.exe then launched Startup Repair, which does not fix the problem.
I do not have a windows 7 disk to restore from as I only purchased the laptop 6 days ago and have not had time to do one yet. Also, the laptop should have the restore/recovery on its hard drive but I cannot access it to restore windows.
I am only a home user so do not understand all the technical speak. Please can someone help me?

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Unfortunately I have already tried this and it does not work.
in F8 I can chose 'Repair your Computer' as in screen shot 1.
I can chose my keyboard configuration as in screen shot 2 and when I click 'Next'
I am presented with the message "You must log in to access System Recovery Options. If you are having trouble logging in please contact your computer administrator . . . . . . ." etc
It does not give me the option to log in like screen shot 3 so I cannot progress.
Any further ideas gratefully received!

  • Windows will not boot GTX 770

    Hi there,
    I recently bought new MSI gtx 770 lighting edition LE. When i choose in uefi as a primary gpu - PCIe, windows will not boot, and after few seconds screen goes black. If i go with primary gpu as integrated in processor i am ok to boot even i can play on monitor connected to GTX770. When i ran passmark benchmark, i get for VGA 3600 points, againt average 6300. Is there something wrong ? Thank you. Motherboard Asus sabertooth z77, cpu i53470k. PSU 600W, 8GB ram...

    Silly questions as this should be a no-brainer, but have you installed specific drivers for the 770 from the geforce website?

    Hi,
    I got after couple of years perfect comp. an terrible problem. The Windows will not boot, i can start it only with CD or sometimes i am getting message: how I wish to start Windows . I already tried to repair it, but no success. In the event log I could see only one notice : Service Control Manager event 7026, but this I had before with perfect comp.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi guys.
    here i foud the cure:
    * Power off the PC
    * Power off the monitor
    * Disconnect all cables from the monitor (USB, power, etc.)
    * Disconnect all monitor cables from the PC (USB, VGA, DVI, etc.)
    * While disconnected, press and hold the monitor power button down for 3 seconds
    * Reconnect the power cord to the monitor
    * Reconnect the monitor VGA or DVI cable to the PC video card
    * Power on the monitor if it does not power on by itself
    * Power on the PC
    * Once into windows, open the Device Manager (Press the Windows key and the Pause-Break key)
    * Click the Hardware tab
    * Click the Device Manager button
    * Click the plus by Universal Serial Bus Controllers (notate what is listed)
    * Connect the USB Uplink cable from the bottom of the monitor to a USB port on the rear of the PC
    * Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, you should see additional Generic USB Hubs
    * This means the monitors USB Hubs were seen by the operating system

  • Windows will not load on a Satellite A350 with 500GB Seagate external HDD

    There is an issue with this A350-043 Laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bits, part number : PSAL6C-04S015
    Simply put: when connected to a SEAGATE 9NK2AL-510 500GB SATA DRIVE EXTERNAL USB (s/n: 5QG1YH1E) Windows will not load, it goes upto and freeze just prior to the green moving bars. If the USB cord is pulled out and put back in for a second, Windows continues to load normally and all is well.
    Otherwise, the OS will take up to 15 minutes to load. Looking in the BIOS features, there is no option to boot from USB available, so it cannot be disabled. I have upgraded the BIOS of the Toshiba to the latest version with no change in that issue.
    I have tested and confirmed that the issue persist no matter which USB port is used.
    The external drive is fully fonctional and there is no errors or issues with it when Windows is loaded. I am reported this issue to Seagate as well as Toshiba in the hopes that a solution can be offered on that, but did not hear back on anything as yet.

    You mean the notebook needs 15min to load the Windows OS even if the external HDD is not connected?
    This sounds weird and I doubt this can be related to any software issue
    First of all you should check the booting order in the BIOS the USB should be set at last or second last position.
    Secondly you should check if the same issue would still persist after an new OS installation in some cases the booting procedure could be affected due to installed software and background processes.
    But if the new OS installation does not help and if the issue will still persists then I assume that an hardware problem (motherboard????) could be the reason for that and therefore an notebook technician should be contacted!!!
    Thats my opinion

  • T410 will not boot with new SSD

    I've cloned my HDD to a new SSD, but it will not boot.  It goes into a Lenovo Think Bios splash screen / Black screen loop.  I booted off a repair disk and performed a repair, but it is still doing the bios loop thing.  This has happened with both an OCZ and a Kingston SSD.  Any ideas? Thanks...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm going to venture a guess that the drive was not cloned properly.
    The "new" drive must be in the machine's HDD bay, and the "old" one in the USB enclosure.
    I always use Clonezilla for the rare occasions that I actually clone something, but Acronis should do just fine as well.
    Good luck.

  • Windows will not boot. Recovery media not working. Satellite L675D-S7052

    I am using a Satellite L675D-S7052 with Windows 7. When the laptop is powered on, it will only run to the Windows loading screen (windows logo on screen) and will stop. The logo remains animated but it will not load any further.
    I attempted to reset to factory settings using the recovery partition. It will run through "Windows is loading files" to completion, but it will then go to a blank screen with only the mouse cursor showing.
    Finally, I attempted to recover from recovery DVD's I made previously. It loaded through the same screens as the recovery partition, halting again on the blank screen with the mouse cursor.
    I backed up all important files on an external hard drive already. I was able to successfully boot an Ubuntu 12.04.2 live disk and it ran correctly. I can access the files on the hard drive for back-up from Ubuntu. I have not altered anything.
    That's as far as I can go on attempting to fix this. If anyone can help me find my next step, please advise.

    Hi! Sense you're not getting any replies, I will offer my opinion. Sense you can boot Ubuntu OS and it runs correctly,what else could be the problem but bad software?? You tried the recovery partition and the recovery DVD's and they reacted the same?? It's good that you can recover your important files. The recovery options are great, but a back up image on a external USB is your best protection. I just don't understand why people don't create a back up image of their OS. It's so simple!! When did you create your recovery DVD's?? Sense both recovery options act the same, I suspect corruption. That's the only thing that makes sense to me??
    Dokie!
    I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

  • Bootcamp - Changed partition settings now Windows will not boot

    Hi,
    I suspect I've created a problem that I've made progressively owrse in trying to solve... Any help appreciated!
    A month ago I created a bootcamp partition (about 850Gig OS X and 150Gig for Win7), successfully installed Windows 7 and everything was fine.
    After an acciental delete of itunes media incident I thought I would create a Time Machine backup partition on the OS X part of the drive so used the Disk Utility to do so, making sure I "took" from OS X and not the Bootcamp partition. I now had three partitions: OS X (500Gig), a Backup (350Gig) and a Bootcamp (150Gig) (I now suspect some of you might be screaming I've created the problem here already...) noting that the 150Gig Bootcamp partition is still as it was and the diagram in Disk Utility has always shown it as the bottom section.
    Perhaps I'm being naive here but it never occured to me that splitting the OS X partition would have any impact at all on the Bootcamp partition!
    Anyway, now I'm unable to boot to Windows (black screen "No bootable device" etc message).
    Checking Finder, all the files on the Bootcamp partition still seem to be there - User settings/accounts, Program Files, the lot.
    Is there anyway I can easily rectify this? (eg put the Windows 7 disk in and repair the install or something?!)
    I tried deleting the extra Backup partition I created without luck (the space just gets greyed out and unallocated)
    Help! I really don't want to have to go through the whole mess of reinstalling Windows 7 on to the Bootcamp partition (that to my mind still hasn't been touched!)

    Your Boot Camp partition number probably changed, Windows does not like more than 4 partitions, you had 3 + Lion Recovery and one that Windows makes, and that is one too many.
    You can try running Windows startup repair from the disk, but>
    Before you do anything make a backup (a clone, for speedier disaster recovery)
    If startup repair fails then reinstalling Windows is called for, so while you are at it I would repartition the drive completely, put your Lion installation back on the Mac from your clone, make a new prtition in Boot Camp and reinstall Windows. Then if you have backups of the Windows side (Windows Backup or similar) restore the data.

  • Original iMac will not boot from new disk

    I am having considerable difficulty getting a new disk to boot in an original 'Bondi blue' iMac.
    I think I have researched this issue reasonably well and found a few references to it but no solution. I have more resources than most and have tried every trick I know. The story at the following link is not dissimilar to my experience:
    http://www.applefritter.com/node/20518
    Details:
    iMac - original 233 MHz revision A with 160 MB RAM
    New disk - 120 GB 7200 rpm Western Digital disk type WD1200SB
    Format - HFS+ with 7 GB first partition and 107 GB second partition
    Jumpers - both CD and disk set to master - normal for this iMac I believe
    The iMac will seldom boot from OS X 10.3 on first partition or OS 9.2.2 on second partition with or without the other OS totally removed. I have reformatted several times and played with several disk drivers. I have zapped PRAM a few times. I sometimes get a grey screen but more frequently get a flashing question mark.
    I can mount both volumes when booted from a CD and every test shows that they behave as expected. The disk boots properly in a G4.
    I am prepared to try anything but I would particularly appreciate advice from somebody who knows what the problem is.

    Eureka - it works - thanks very much.
    It now boots from OS 9.2.2 on both partitions every time. I have yet to replaced the OS X that I removed earlier but I am not expecting difficulties.
    My view is that http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25249 is badly written. I assume that item 4 should read 'OS X' and not "Mac OS". It may have been written on the assumption that users only want OS X and Classic on a single partition. My experience, particularly with early iMacs, is that it pays to have 2 bootable partitions and it is expedient to have OS X on one and OS 9.2.2 on the other with the OS 9.2.2 being used for Classic and for direct booting into OS 9.2.2.
    My error was in paying insufficient attention to
    http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=1277&pcreated=1095792241#jumper
    which clearly indicates jumper positions for single drives although a few words about it would underline the point. I had already discovered that these iMacs normally have both CD and disk set to master so should have realised that strictly they are 'single drives'. I had initially used the clear, but misleading, drive silk screen printing, ie CS, slave, master to set the jumper but should have changed it when checking the WD site later. Perhaps they could use this thread to update their FAQs - I will mention it to them.
    In answer to those, on this thread and elsewhere, who were not happy with my sloppy copying of OS 9.x, I discovered some years ago that as long as you 'blessed' the end result in situ with one of the free OS 9.x updaters it is surprising what you can get away with. - I am not advising anybody to do this unless it is within the terms of their Apple license!
    Now I wonder if I should stick with OS X 10.3 or if it is worth trying OS X 10.4 with
    http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto.htm l
    Does anybody know how satisfactory it is and if it has serious memory or speed implications? My only slightly unusual software is Cisco VPN client.

  • Windows does not boot on new motherboard

    Hi everybody.
    I am lost here.
    I made an upgrade to my PC: replace motherboard, CPU and RAM. Keep everything else.
    I went from a celeron400 w/ intel chipset to 865 neo-2 PFISR.
    The BIOS run fine. I can boot on CDs. But windows refuses to boot from c:. It looks like the MBR is fine, because I get the screen that says: "windows failed styarting, how do you want to start, fail safe mode or normal mode?" From here, any option I choose reboots the PC very quick.
    I think the problem is that the geometry (CHS) of my disk is wrong. But I don't manage to find the correct values.
     Does anyone has any idea of what is going wrong?
    - The hard drive is a 15GB IBM DTLA 703015 (desktar 75GXP)
    - I don't want to format everything....
    - The drive still works on other computers.
    Additionnal question: any link to installation of Windows XP pro on a SATA disk?
    Thank you for any idea you might have!

    In bios under Integrated Peripherals, On Chip ATA Operating Mode set
    Native Mode
    ATA Configuration - PATA only
    SATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA channel selection - both
    You can't boot using a hard drive with windows installed on a different motherboard. There are too many differences to be successful.
    Connect the SATA drive to SATA1, don't connect any PATA drives, and use the settings above. After you install Windows you can connect up the PATA drives (if any) to use for data.

  • Satellite A110-293 Windows will not boot up. ntoskrnl. No recovery CD

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-293 with Windows XP. I upgraded to Vista a few months ago. One day I turned on my laptop and got the following error message:
    +"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:+
    +1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.+
    +2. Choose your language......+
    +3. Click "Repair your computer"+
    +If you do not have the disc, contact your system administartor or computer manufacturer for assisstance.+
    +File ntoskrnl.exe+
    +Ststus: 0xc0000098+
    +Info: Windows failed to load because a required file is missing, or corrupt+
    I do *not* have my original CDs or Vista upgrade DVD, since I'm overseas for a few months.
    I tried to get a Recovery CD through the website (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx), but it stated:
    +"For your device no recovery medium can be ordered, because it comes either not from the region of Toshiba Europe, or it is too old for this service. "+
    HELP!

    Hi
    I presume you can order only the newer Toshiba Vista recovery DVD using this Toshiba website.
    If you need a Recovery CD (Win XP) for this older Satellite series then you will have to contact the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country.
    At the other hand you could use an original Microsoft XP CD to repair or to reinstall the OS.
    By the way; did you try to boot the OS in safe mode pressing the F8?
    Please check this. Maybe its possible.

    It has and can be done but backup to the same drive is rather pointless, shadow copies and file revisioning... external and separate. I thought with Lion and notebooks that there already is a temporary hidden backup folder, hidden, check iwth Lion Comm. already.
    Boot from Windows DVD and do some BCD magic to get it back.
    You changed the partition ID number.
    I wish we could be more flexible:
    OS X
    Windows
    Data
    so that Windows wasn't relegated to the inner slower platter tracks for one.
    you can get it repaired.
    Also, there are programs and even Windows 7 will create a system recovery CD and image... something you should be doing already so you never face loss or if a worm/mal/trojan/virus should cause havoc.

  • Windows will not boot to my boot camp partition on a DIY fusion drive - gives "No bootable device found" error

    I have a MacBookPro 9,1 (mid-2012, non-retina) running OS X 10.8.2.  Here is what I have done to my system:
    Installed Windows 7 x64 Pro to a boot camp partition; installed all windows updates.
    Using WinClone, save an image of this boot camp partition.
    Removed optical drive and HDD.
    Installed HDD in place of optical drive.
    Installed SSD in place of HDD.
    Booted to recovery partition, installed OS X on a flash drive.
    Booted to flash drive, created fusion drive using [MacWorld's instructions](http://www.macworld.com/article/2014011/how-to-make-your-own-fusion-drive.html)
    Booted to recovery partition on flash drive.
    Restored system to fusion drive from a Time Machine backup. Unfortunately, it seems that because I never installed OS X on my fusion drive, I do not have a recovery partition. But that's an issue for another day.
    Using Boot Camp assistant, created a boot camp partition on my HDD.
    Using WinClone, restore my Windows installation from the previously created image.
    Now, Windows boots to a black screen telling me that it can't find a bootable device. I have tried a few things to resolve this, all without effect:
    I know that VMware Fusion has to prepare a boot camp partition in order to virtualize it, so I figured it might inadvertently fix things. Alas, while it *did* successfully boot my boot camp partition into a virtual machine, I still can't boot into Windows.
    I figured I'd just try to reinstall Windows. Surprisingly, my system booted to my Windows install disc, which was in my original optical drive (which I had put in a USB case). But, Windows refused to install, giving me a an error 0x8030024. It seems the solution to this issue is to disconnect all drives but the one on which you want to install Windows, which is something I would dearly like to avoid. It would be a pain, but more than that, I'm afraid it would bork my fusion drive, even if I'm careful to never boot to OS X with the SSD disconnected.
    A lot of places said that this error results from a borked MBR, and suggest using a tool like gptfdisk to rewrite it. I followed the instructions [here](https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4144252?start=0&tstart=0), but *that* didn't work either.
    I am now completely at a loss as to how to proceed, and Google isn't much help either.

    My setup is very similar to your's, Ryan, on a Mac Mini5,2 and the ordering is different and Winclone was not used.
    1. New Mini with internal 500GB with Mountain Lion(ML), put into an external FW enclosure, so the Mini can/could be booted using an external drive for contigency.
    2. Replaced internal stock HDD (500Gb/5400rpm) with SSD/HDD (256Gb SSD/1TB 5400rpm).
    3. Installed W7 x64 on 64GB partition on HDD, which was a single-partition drive to begin with.
    4. The remaining HDD partition and the entire SSD was put into a Fusion drive.
    5. Using Command-R, new ML installed on Fusion HD.
    Here is what I currently have...(Disk0 - SSD, Disk1- 1TB HDD, Disk2 - Fusion, Disk3 - External FW).

  • Windows will not boot (SSD in optibay with OSX/Window, HDD in main bay for Mac storage)

    Main bay: HDD for storage (Mac-formatted)
    Optibay: SSD for operating systems
    Version: OSX Yosemite
    Description of issue:
    I removed power from internal HDD so Windows install would work properly on SSD. I didn't think/realize that once it was installed and I plugged internal HDD back in that I would not be able to boot into Windows.
    This is where I am now:

    I had boot camp set up previously, but I think this may have been before I installed the SSD, and maybe I just had it running on the HDD.
    I've seen what seems like this same issue posted many, many times, where it is an issue of Windows seeing a GPT partition/drive, so it won't boot. Is that not what's going on for me, too?
    1. I have Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X v12.2.313
    2. Yes.
    3. I can only see the Mac partition (but when I hold option when booting, I can choose Windows from there. Will boot if HDD unplugged) :
