Boot Problems I have a Toshoba Satellite 1405-S171, I used a disk cleaner due to virus. now it starts up and just keeps rebooting itself with the Toshiba logo starting first then, Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 4.1.03 Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. _ Then, Invalid BOOT .INI file Booting from C:\windows\ NTDETECT failed, I can't get the computer to boot from cd either. I push esc and it only gives me a F1 option, no bios setup.

    Thanks all for your responses. I have tried finding the option for that but a still not finding it(esc-ctrl.alt.esc-f1-f12). Any help.

  • ray_with_dal Apr 27, 2009

    after p ressing F5 and F12 it gets me to Windows Advanced Menu without a Advanced BIOS Features.

  • ray_with_dal Apr 27, 2009

    I may be in more trouble than I thought. I press DEL. with no change. I figured I may have done alot more damage that originally thought, any idea where I can download the Toshiba factory settings disk? I found a website but doesn't look to trustworthy. Thanks again for your help.

  • ray_with_dal Apr 27, 2009

    That's just it, I not only have the XP disk but also just bought a Windows Recovery disk from Spotmau.com but I can't get my laptop to read either disk, it just keeps restarting after the NTDETECT message. I did press ESC which took me to the system setup and see a menu called boot priority, just has CDROM-HDD-FDD-LAN. Just tried HDD first with nothing.

  • ray_with_dal Apr 27, 2009

    Agreed...I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you.

    I am not saying this is a solution, only a comment...On some toshiba laptops there are DLL files that get mistaken for a trojan virus.. and if that got deleted that could be related

Hi,

PXE means it will only boot while connected to the network,

You need to change the bois From network boot to Hard drive boot.

The system doesn't see a hard drive inside,

it thinks it is booting from the network only,

it boots to a server like this.

It is called a dumb terminal

    Hi,



    usually it's the delete key to get into the bios



    Then select boot from hard disk

    Hi,



    No, there is no such thing as a factory settings disc.



    The disc you are wanting would be an operating system disk,



    Xp, Vista, or something like this.



    You could use your own disc to try to repair the Operating system



    Either the recovery disc ot the O/S disc to repair

    Hi,



    there is a fault in the system, the system is not recognising the hard drive



    this is what NTDETECT is, detecting the hard disk to boot.



    The disc should boot any system, no matter how it boots network, hdd, or disk drive, once you put the boot disc in, it automatically goes to the disc drive to boot.



    This needs more attention than anyone can give over the wire, this needs a PC technician to look at it close up for you.



    Richard.

    Hi,



    No problem



    very difficult to diagnose over the wire,



    easier when it's in front of you.



    All the best to you



    Regards



    Richard

Power on laptop, push F8 until you get Windows boot options, and choose Last known good configuration, or Safe mode if this does not help. After that, you can try to delete viruses.

Toshiba Satellite 1405-S171 dead screen; external monitor works fine. How do I open case to check video cable connection?
Unless your screen's hinges (pivots) are busted, the video cable ain't gonna come loose on its own.

But if you have to check, it's underneath the keyboard. Remove the plastic strip above the KB, after that, it's three screws (L, middle, R), and you can lift up the keyboard. The video cable is the big bundle right behind the DVD drive.

Toshiba satellite A70-KL1 notebook shuts down
Scan the Computer using any latest updated anti virus program for any potential threat.

If the computer is not infected by any virus or trojan then you may also try performing System restore to the time when the Computer worked normally.

If the Computer keeps shutting down randomly after turning ON then the Power Supply Unit in the Notebook requires service.

Won't boot up, windows won't start successfully
In fact, your computer is restarting by itself after a problem. On Windows 98/2000 the blue screen was sitting there until you rebooted the computer. Windows Xp reboot the computer sometimes even without showing any error message. The thing is, if it reboots even if you select Safe mode, something may be wrong in your hardware (i.e. your memory or hard drive). I would bet on a memory failure but it's hard to be sure unless you boot your computer with a memtest CD, you can find it for free the internet and select your CD as booting device when the computer starts. If you cant do that yourself, you can bring it to a local computer store or anyone with good computer repairing skills. If you need more help with this, let me know
