Toshiba Laptop Getting No Boot After Unsuccessful Updates?
Jun 23, 2010
I had my Toshiba Tecra M5 laptop all set up to use when the time comes to go in a home.I was downloading Microsoft updates last night rather lenghty download so I stepped away for a moment to watch a little TV. Well during the download the battery ran out. I plugged in the power thinking that the PC would continue with the download but no the only way to shut it down was to pull the plug. I then plugged in the power and the download did start but froze when about half finished. Only option was to pull the plug again.

I have a boot disk on cd,but my laptop wont boot from it.I have tried restarting it,and then pressing F1 and the delete buttons,to change the boot order but it doesnt take me to those options.What are the buttons to press other than the 2 mentioned ? Those keys always work on all my other pc's.Or do toshiba laptops not allow any changes to those items?

I have an old Toshiba laptop. I bougth a laptop enclosure for this 2.5 size. In order to fit the enclosure I had to remove a bracet that was needed for the laptop. After removing it, I inserted it into the ide connector of that enclosure...fine, but I cannot close the enclosure the way it should. It misses by an 1'16 or 1'8 of an inch. Looking at the hd ( IBM ) it has a metal cover with 6 screws. It has all the specs of that hd. Its possible It may fit of I remove it, but I do not know if that is wise to the hd.

I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite A85-S107. 40 gig harddrive. 1.4GHz processor. 256 megs ram.
A system check using MSinfo32 indicates that I only have 16 megs ofavailable physical memory and only about half of the 512 mb virtualmemory available. The shared video card takes the RAM down to 191 megs. Even when I disable every single file under Startup (msconfig)it only raises the available memory to about 26 mb. So, with virtually nothing running I have about a 75 percent memory load. Can this possibly all be attributed to Windows XP?
I realize there are other processes running in the background but I am not sure how and what to do about them. And virtualy all of them seems to be windows files. Should I just add another 256 mb of ram and not worry about it?

laptop is about to get a bit of an overhaul. Extra RAM should be here tomorrow then I'm gonna wipe it and reinstall XP. It's an Equium A60 as far as I can work out (similar/same as a Satellite A60?) running XP home. She can't find the recovery disk (if it even has one?) and I only have XP Pro, Can I use my XP pro the same way as I would on a normal desktop? Stick the CD in and boot from it to install a fresh OS? Is there anything I need to look out for on a laptop?

I have a toshiba laptop, it run XP pro, What I would like to do is add 2000 or xp pro onto a second partition, then at start up have the choice of which windows to use. I guess 2k should have been installed before xp, but I could use xp if this would allow me to do it, Any pointers in the right direction would be most helpfull.

I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite P20 (PSP26C-0JQRT7), it's running Windows XP Media Center. Even since my last windows update, it became awfully slow and it started giving me blue screen errors at boot time .once in a while. I would say that about 1 in 2 times, it wouldn't boot. Then I would try "last known good configuration" or just start normally and after a few tries, it would work. But since the last windows updates this morning (july 13th), I cannot boot without getting a blue screen error. The best I can do is boot in safe mode about once very two tries.

Where can I find drivers for my TOSHIBA laptop A135-S2286 mobo? I cant install the Radeon vid drivers for Xp Pro UNTIL I first install all the mobo drivers. CPUID gave me a cryptic Toshiba IAYAA brand mobo which I never heard of. I want to run XP Pro and right now the Device Manager shows NO vid display since the native vid driver is VGASave which sucks.

I want to reinstall Windows XP on our Toshiba laptop but I don't want to reinstall from the Toshiba disks due to the bloatware that the disks installs (like the disk utility, antivirus, etc software). I'd like to install the OS from a Microsoft Windows XP CD but wondered if the Microsoft disk would even install onto the Toshiba and if so, would the laptop function properly? Thanks.

Computer boots to blue screen after showing Windows splash screen and then immediately restarts. Windows Stop code 0X0000007E (0X80000003, 0X805C370C, 0XBACCB2B4, 0XBACCAFB0). Computer will not boot in safe mode or last known good configuration. I have decided that I will need to reload windows but have several very important files on hard drive that I need to get off first. As it stands, I have 2.5" drive loaded into external hard drive enclosure. Only problem is that 2.5" drive has drive letter of C: like every other computer I have in my house. Is there anyway to change this letter to view files via usb enclosure? Any way to change drive path of C: volume on any other computer?

My Laptop was working just fine last evening, and this am is now not booting successfully.Once powered off, when the on button is pressed, the following message appears."We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change may have caused this. etc, etc."
When safe mode is pressed, a bunch of prompts run, and then it freezes. You must then shut off the PC and then restart to get back to the menu choices. Another message we see now is General help in the Bios.

So, a friend is looking to get a new laptop with a 17" display. I found this Toshiba Satellite model at BestBuy for $699: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1212192350169It comes with Windows Vista pre-installed. I went to the Toshiba support page for the laptop and found only ONE Windows XP driver and that's for the built-in modem. The bulk of the drivers are for Vista.What would the chances of actually getting Windows XP to fully function on this laptop? Where would I go for XP drivers for things like the ATI video adapter, the network adapters (Wi-Fi and Ethernet), and so on?

I'm having problems with a 3rd party app. on WinXP Pro SP3, and their support staff recommended that I install the latest version of the app. .NET FW 3.5 SP1 is a requirement for the new version. However, installation of this update has been unsuccessful. Would it be better if I uninstalled all of the current versions, then installed 3.5 followed by patch 3.5 SP1?

I started to install sp3 and then changed my mind. I clicked "cancel" while it was trying to install itself, and it stopped. Now my machine still thinks it hasn't been installed, so I can't just delete the whole thing from "add/remove programs" because it doesn't appear. I did review the list of added programs including updates, and it's not there. How do I remove it so I don't get the yellow shield on the task bar?
