Windows 7 won't fully boot after recovery to out-of-box state

I have reinstalled Windows 7 by holding down the 0 key on boot. The installation finished, but when windows booted into the setup screen for the first time, it crashed halfway through the driver installation process. When the laptop rebooted, it went into setup and showed an error message, asking me to restart the computer and the installation. I have re-installed windows again by using the recovery media and by using the 0 key on boot/factory reset, but the setup will crash again and then ask me to re-install windows. I am using a Satellite c655, 4gb ram with a intel pentimum processor. Any help would be appreaciated!

Model Number: C655-S5543Part Number: PSC2EU-06D00L I decided to reset the laptop to factory settings because the laptop was getting slow, as this unit was given to me from a family member, with all of their programs and files still on the hard drive. The only things I have changed in the bios is the boot speed to fast,  and turned off the beep sound.  The First time I turned on the laptop after it completed the recovery/factory reset, it loads a toshiba recovery window, but  it then restarts. When it restarts,  the black screen with the windows logo animation appears. It then goes into another black screen but with the letters "Setup is starting services", with a white loading bar underneath. It then started loading the drivers, but then came up with a bsod screen when the setup was around 47% done loading the drivers. I can't remember what the bsod screen said. Now when I turn on the laptop, the black screen with the windows logo animation appears again. It then goes into the same setup screen but with a dialog window that appears and says "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the comptuer, and then restart the installation."

  • USB Ports on 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 do not work-even after Recovery to "Out-of-Box" state

    Hello - Hoping someone can help with another suggestion- it doesn't look good.
    Both USB ports on my wife's 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 are non-functional with any USB device. Flash drives, wireless mouse, and external hard drive (powered) that all work on all of my other computers, do not work in either of this laptop's USB ports.
    This problem seems to have developed gradually, and became noticeable previously as non-responsiveness in the wireless mouse, which gradually became a concern, with the computer appearing to freeze or lock-up - probably because of the number of times the mouse was clicked on shortcuts and executables before something happened.
    The ports are now completely "dead"- no recognition of anything inserted once the computer is up and running.
    There appears to be a thermal component involved, since I was able to get the devices recognized and working for up to a minute when booting the computer with the devices in the ports after it had been off for several hours after I did the default state recovery. The flash drive and mouse were recognized, drivers loaded message, but they then went to "unplugged" before I could get the cursor moving. I was able to access the flash drive, since I did it as soon as the driver loaded, but then it disappeared ("un-plugged" itself in the driver loaded message box). I can also get them recognized from this COLD boot state when I immediately plug them in once Windows 7 (64) loads, but they quickly disappear. If I wait a few minutes before re-booting, they flash during the Windows boot, but drop-out before it completes. If I wait 3-4 hours to re-boot, they flash (are recognized) for about a minute (Windows completely loads), but then they drop out.
    I tried all of the suggestions on this board (and others) before doing a Recovery to Factory Default state. I have tried it with the original version 1.20 Bios, and with the version 1.50 Bios update. All driver updates have been downloaded and installed. The laptop does occasionally lock-up at the Toshiba screen during boot, and is verrrry slow in some operations (2 hours to do the recovery discs). The only other noticeable problem (at this time) is an occasional drop-out of wireless (Atheros AR9285) connectivity, which I have been blaming on the router since it is sporadic and infrequent (not consistent with the thermal argument). These problems are all after the Factory Default State recovery operation, so my assumption is that they are hardware based.
    Any suggestions for a solution? This is a standard spec Satellite C655-S5049 that I was considering adding another 2GB memory to, but now I am unsure of its' future. A laptop cooler that runs from a USB port seems counter-productive.
    I am technically capable, so you can be much briefer in your response than I have been in trying to fully detail the problems. This isn't the NVidia chip, but it does bring back memories of laptops past.
    Thanks for any help,
    G

    I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL. I GOT THE SERVICE
    MANUAL AND I'M THINKING TO OPEN IT AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME PHYSICAL BAD CONNECTION
    INSIDE. BUT LIKE YOU SAID.  IT'S ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD.!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE WARRANTEE.
    BUT THIS IS VERY FRUSTATING. I WANDER IF TOSHIBA DOES THIS ON PURPUSE.!!! KEEP IN TOUCH AND
    IF YOU NEED THE SERVICE MANUAL CONTACT ME AT [email protected]

  • Windows 7 slow to boot after setting up windows backup to additional drive.

    I have an issue with windows taking forever to boot after setting up Windows backup.
    PC Setup:
    2 Samsung SSD Mirrored for Hardware raid on (MOBO OS/Programs)
    2 Seagate 4TB Mirrored for Hardware raid (Data storage)
    1 Seagate 4tb HD used solely for Windows backup.  (Have also tried with multiple other drives with same outcome.)
    If I have all drives connected without setting up the Windows Backup, system will boot up in 37 seconds.  As soon as I enable the backup to the additional drive, it kills the boot time.  Brings boot time to over 2.5 mins.  Brand new PC, clean
    installation, no antivirus or any other software that could be slowing it down.  If drive is just in PC as an extra drive there seems to be no issue, just as soon as I enable the Windows Backup to additional drive. Never noticed this issue on any other
    PC

    Log booting process (set it in F8 menu).

    Try and restore it 2 more times. If you continue to get error 1 (or -1), that indicates a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Installing clean copy of Windows 7 without out-of-box state software?

    I have the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6025 model and was wanting to do a clean install of Windows 7 on it. Without using the system recovery option and having it formated too out-of-box state. I was just wondering if it would effect the computer in any way? Because I know their are lots of system programs that come a long with it for key features. What do you think?

    Perhaps I can add some usefull information here.  Most, if not all, computer manufacturers no longer provide recovery disks.  Some provide these at a small cost.  They do provide intruction how to make these disks.  There is a great amount of free information available on the internet how to do this.  The hard drive on new machines usually has 2 partitions, 1 is the recovery partition (dive), the other is the system partition (generally drive "C").  These partitions also contain the product bloatwhere specific to there products.  Most users find these utilities very useful.  If you format the drive and install a fresh operating system (lets say Windows 7) you generally will only have 1 partition (drive "C") without the product utilities.  The machine will work just fine.  Keep in mind, you will have to download and install new drivers and operating system updates and perhaps will need to make some system changes, such as screen resolution. I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS FOR MOST USERS.  Most users are starting to understand the need to backup their DATA, very few backup the system.  Anyone that buys a new machine should first make the system recovery disks, then do all the system and driver updates and back up once again. I suggest purchasing a USB hard drive and a product such as CMS Bounceback.  Backup the entire system, perhaps weekly or monthly depending on your useage.  In the event of a hard drive failure, you can swop the drive and be back in business in less than 1 hour.  You can also backup from the spare hard drive.

  • Recovery out-of-box state

    hello,
    I have a toshiba satellite u400. I have used the system recovery (out-of-box state) multiple times by using the recovery disc and it worked. But lately when I try to do so, i get an error message, "cannot create or replace BIN: the path is too deep." This error occurs at the beginning of the recovery process while creating hdd recovery area. Is there a way around this?
    thank you,
    abdul

    It sounds like there might be a problem with the hard drive itself.

  • T40 doesn't boot after recovery to factory settings

    Hi all,
    I was going to install ubuntu for my T40. I had my system partitioned to Windows XP and Ubuntu. The windows was very slow and I decided to get back to factory settings and install only the ubuntu.
    However, after running the factory setting, I can't get over the GRUB-loading process. At the startup, after the first IBM-screen there is only a message:
    GRUB Loading stage1.5.
    GRUB Loading, please wait...
    After that, the whole system reboots. I can't get out of this loop.
    I have tried to boot Ubuntu from CD at the start (by F12), but nothing happens. I have also tried Master boot record from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?Legacy​DocID=MIGR-62978 . I have also tried EasyBCD.
    It seems that the system doesn't get any of these from the CD....
    And, I haven't got the original Windows XP installing CD
    What can I do?

    @TuuS:
    I don't belive, that this will help. Deleting all partitions will not "reset" the MBR. Grub still will be active in the MBR, if you don't use a tool which rewrites the MBR. The error still appears at the next boot.
    The easiest way is the MS-DOS fdisk /mbr or - if the recovery partition of XPor Vista still exists - the Rescue and Recovery - Recovery repair media (Windows 2000/XP and Vista) which rewrites the MBR and re-enables the F11 - key to boot the recovery-partition.

  • Reminders window won't show up after clicking in notifications center

    After clicking a notificytion in notifications center on Mavericks the APP Reminders opens but the application window is not showing up. Allways worked like a charme but not any longer for me.
    I tried to:
    1) uncheck the iClound sync for Reminders while Reminders.app ist closed which deletes all local data!
    2) logout my user
    3) login again
    4) open Reminders
    5) check the iCloud sync for Reminders again
    After this procedure, Reminder is working again for a day, then again the Reminders window is not showing up, after clicking a notification or open the Reminders.app manualy.
    Why is this, any hints?
    Cheers

    In addition: after I went thru the steps above the applications runs without problems until I close the app again. When now reopening the app will show no windows.

  • Out of Box Recovery doesn't match out of box state

    I am working to get my mom's Satellite A660 back up and running. I helped her buy it from Toshiba Direct last year and I chose the customization options because she doesn't like dealing with technology. I know that I chose the installed operating system to be Windows 7 Professional, and that matches the Windows sticker on the bottom of the laptop. We also chose to have it shipped with Office 2010 included. 
    Three days ago things went downhill for her system and it started running extremely slow, being glitchy, and windows explorer kept crashing. At some points it wouldn't get past the "Starting Windows" screen. After running the System Repair options, Windows troubleshooting options, and antivirus scans and not getting results, I decided that using the Toshiba recovery options would be best. 
    Not only was the recovery glitchy (it would have an error and have to shutdown and restart) but when all the recovery was complete, the "Out of Box" factory settings and system are NOT the same as when we first opened it from the box. The biggest descrepancy is that Windows 7 is no longer the Professional version but it is now Home Premium. Also, I notice that when I view the available drives in Windows explorer, the recovery partition that was listed is now gone. This would be irritating but acceptable, however, the computer is now just as clunky and glitchy but in different ways. 
    I'm actually on a different computer to write this because Firefox keeps not responding, Windows Update is not downloading any updates, and the computer is extremely slow. Does anybody know anything about this scenario? I am extremely disappointed with the recovery process, my mom needs her laptop for school, and I am trying to solve this for her before she really loses it! 
    How can I get the correct Out of Box recovery?? Why doesn't the OS match what truly came to us in the first place? Will this create licensing issues? Most importantly, how can I get the computer into a fresh, non-problematic state??
    Thanks in advance.

    If it's still under warranty, send it back. That would be my first option. I wouldn't be surprised if they put in the wrong OS in the recovery partition. It's typical copy and paste from their typical best selling system is what you have. You can always call their 800 number and see if they will support you even if it's not under warranty.
    Toshiba is making a lot of junk lately. I've owned 3 Toshibas prior to acquiring my latest POS last year.

  • Macbook 2.4 2008 after update 10.6.8 and firmware, won't fully boot

    Weird problem after updating to 10.6.8 from 10.6.0 (fresh install).
    I went thru Software Update, it downloaded 10.6.8 and the other updates. It also found that I needed a Firmware Update, which I also choose to install.
    The updates went thru okay, including the Firmware. Everything went exactly as it should. The machine booted as per normal.
    Afterwards, I checked that it had updated normally to 10.6.8 and everything checked out okay. 
    I left the Macbook plugged in and in Sleep. It was like this for probably 24 hours. NO BATTERY INSTALLED (don't know if this could be a problem, but I don't see how). I just came back now to find that I can't get back to the desktop from Sleep, nor can I boot to the desktop.
    Specifically, here's what I see:
    - first, on trying to Wake from Sleep, the screen remained black. The Superdrive spun up, the white light at the front of the Macbook was pulsing. But no desktop.
    - I then held the Power button till it shut down. Then rebooted. And here's what I got:
    a) no startup chime
    b) I could Superdrive and fans and HD spin up
    c) the display turned on, but didn't show the startup screen, no Apple logo, etc. It just went to the Desktop in about 10-15 seconds.
    d) on the Desktop I can see:
    - the Desktop background
    - the Disk Utility window open to Repair Permissions, which was the last thing I'd done on the Macbook (permissions checked out okay)
    - and THIS: I've never seen it before, but the Desktop is a bit "fuzzy", I can see the background and the Disk Utility window though, as well as a NUMBER OF SHORT BARS towards the bottom of the screen, and there's a BAR BY BAR PROGRESS from left to right (the first bar is filled in, then the second, etc.), BUT the progress DOESN'T make it to the last bar before the SCREEN GOES BLACK AGAIN  (*sorry for the caps, but I'm trying to highlight the salient parts).
    Any ideas?
    Is this somehow related to the Firmware update? I remember that the Macbook booted fine after the Firmware update, the long horizontal progress bar was filled in as normal and got to the end; IIRC the Macbook then booted fine. I believe it was at this point that I repaired Permissions. Then left the Macbook, only to return to find it as it is now.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Update:
    Installed 10.6 and did all the updates, am now using it with an external monitor. Working fine as a Mini, but a real bummer re. the black or blue screen.
    Without external monitor connected, I get this:
    - I can boot, with startup chime, from DVD or external hard disk, after holding Option at startup and choosing bootable volume on screen; I can also boot from the DVD by holding down C key
    - When I boot, the startup chime doesn't sound right away, as there's a short delay; in that time (a few seconds), the LED light at the front of the Macbook FLASHES 5 TIMES; there are NO error beep sounds
    - The boot screen starts up, I get Apple logo and spinning wheel, and at about the usual point where the screen goes blue for a couple seconds, before the Macbook boots to the desktop, the screen goes black
    - The Macbook seems to go to Sleep, with the screen black; the front light pulses
    - I can wake the Macbook from Sleep by pressing a key
    - Previously, after waking from Sleep, the Macbook went to the desktop -> in other words, the Macbook completed startup with the black screen;
    - When the Macbook woke from Sleep, there was a slight delay of a few seconds before the Trackpad and Keyboard became active; I then had a few seconds to use the Trackpad before the screen went black again, and the Macbook went back to Sleep
    - Now, though, when I wake it from Sleep, I get a Blue Screen, and the screen stays blue; i.e., doesn't turn black and the Macbook doesn't sleep
    All of this refers to booting the Macbook without an external monitor connected.
    When booting with an external monitor, everything works normally.
    POINTS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST:
    1) all of this happened from the time I updated the Firmware, as per Software Update
    2) the screen works during the boot process, then goes black
    3) boot completes even with black screen
    4) the screen works for a 10 seconds when Macbook wakes from Sleep, then goes black again
    5) now, the screen goes blue - and stays there - when the Macbook wakes from Sleep
    6) Macbook works normally with external monitor; the Macbook's internal display is not recognized when an external monitor is connected; the iSight camera is not recognized
    So, what the heck happened?
    I can understand the internal display and/or onboard video getting broken, but then it should simply not work at all, right? How is it that it works "partially" or "temporarily", during boot and when waking from Sleep, before going black?
    What is with the 5 flashing LEDs at boot or when waking from Sleep? (I can't find any info concerning the Macbook and 5 flashing LEDs, but only concerning the Macbook Air, and it refers to a battery problem).

  • Windows 7 no longer boots after upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion

    I got a late 2011 MacBook Pro, on which I installed Windows 7 with Boot Camp. After I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion, I can no longer boot Windows. If I keep the option button pressed during boot I only get the OS X and recovery options, and if I choose to boot Windows from the system preferences pane, I get a message that says that no bootable device was found. However, I'm sure that the partition is still there, because I can see it in finder and browse the files normally. How can I boot Windows again?

    "Easier" in this case as an alternative is defined as repartitioning/reformatting your disk, and restoring from backups (which for most people also means starting from scratch with Boot Camp Assistant and Windows since most users aren't backing that environment up).
    What you did is, in my opinion, easier and faster. But if you don't know what you're doing can lead to data loss. But then, by definition, blowing away your disk and starting over with a restored backup begins with data loss!

  • [Solved] T440s do not boot after recovery

    Hi all,
    I have a T440s lenovo laptop whose motherboard was replaced a few months ago.
    Today I wanted to make a clean installation (windows 8) using the recover USB key I created before the motherboard replacement (note that I already used it and it was working before changing the board).
    It goes through the different steps, deleting files and creating the partitions, but when it is done the computer is not able to boot on the hardrive. I have the following messages :
    Intel (R) Boot agent Ge v1.5.43 copyring (C) 1997-2013 , Intel corporation
    ............. initializing and establishing link...
    PXE-E61 - Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F - Exiting intel boot agent
    (so looks like it is trying to boot on the pci lan)
    Then it comes back to the boot menu where I have a choice between :
    ATA HDD0
    PCI LAN
    If I select the first one nothing happens, and the the PCI LAN gives the above error message.
    I tried to reset the bios parameters to default but it did not help. So I am wondering if it has something to do with some change in the motherboard ID, bios version....
    I also launched the lenovo quick storage device test to check the hard drive and all was ok.
    So if you have any inputs or suggestions of what I could try I would be very gratefull
    thanks!
    Edit : problem solved, I had to change a bios option to UEFI (the new motherboard was set by default to Legacy, messing up all the recovery process)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I finally fixed the problem.
    I spent a couple of hours trying to fix the bcd with various methods described on the web using Bootrec /RebuildBcd, Bcdboot and also to set the proper partition as active. However none of the methods worked as I always got various error message telling me it's not possible to access the hardware (or "Failure when attempting to copy boot files." after bcdboot for example).
    After what I realized that the new motherboard default settings were set to "Legacy" for the boot mode. I switched to UEFI, then went to the recovery process again (with new partitionning) and it was ok.
    I hope this will help others, avoiding to loose time trying to fix the dcb in the command prompt (actually i don't know if it could have been fixed this way...)

  • Safari won't fully open after X.8.5 update

    Thoughts, anyone?  I just did the latest update, and now Safari starts to open, but stops responding before I can type anything into the address bar. 
    I looked at permissions in Disc Utility, and there were a ton of Safari issues.  I hit repair permissions, and Disc Utility chuntered through a ton of them, and claimed to have fixed them.  But it made no difference to Safari, and when I went back to Disc Utility the same permssion problems were all there.  I tried it several more times, and still the permission issues were there.
    Other ideas?
    --Mike

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
