its not the hard drive my frined, its the boot loader it has been deleted or it has been compressed the only way to fix this is to use the recovery cd you have, to boot from cd-rom you need to go into bios which is usualy F2 or F5 key, then under boot manager or somthing is the primary and secondary boot, change the primary to CD-ROM, then save it and restart then it should boot from cd-rom then you have do a start-up recovery.

I want you to restart and then pressing F8 while in restart try to get into LAST KNOWN GOOD
if it won't boot that when then restart again pressing F8 then start in SAFEMODE
While in safemode open control panel and then users
click on your user name and make sure your settings are still there
close off user and open display click screensaver then power and make sure your settings there are correct change stanby to never and then go to hibernate remove check then click apply close it off.then see if you can restart

This normally happens when upgrading your operating system i.e. from windows xp upgrading to windows vista. But the problems is sometimes it can skip important things or maybe you skipped on something. A likely problem is it doesnt boot after bios because the booting order is incorrect. When you boot go to your bios. im not sure what computer you have so follow the guide on this site http://www.whitecanyon.com/how-to-change-boot-order.php and the reply to this with your booting order! ONLY DO UP TO STEP 3! then if not already selected change it to harddrive but remember what it was peviously just incase this wasnt the problem. When set to harddrive try and boot again and hopefully it will work. If not then i suggest phoning up the company and asking instead of sending it to the shop as it will cost alot and they will take your computer from you!

If you can get better picture by rotating your scree, then it could be wiring problem, which of course you cannot solve by your own.

Since you do not have the original restore CD more than likely you're missing the hardware drivers specific to the Satellite P205.

Have you tried:

The most general way is to reset your laptop using any recovery wizard that the laptop has, pls read your manual.
When doing recovery, backup your important data first to another storage. ex: usb flash drive, external harddrive, etc

cable plug possible defective, if possible plug into another computer and see if error occurs. since you did not state OS go into the Device Manager and insure 'network adapter' has driver installed and working. Is there an external media hooked up?

delete wireless connections and reboot,insure you do not have the wired ehternet cable also installed, and insure that wireless switch is off as well for now. when system reboots, turn on the wireless switch and see if the program for IP is corrected.

those are at the main toshiba website, under support by model number and operating system

ring toshiba again and this time make notes on how to complete these steps again ,so much easier and ask them about your MS office package reinstall.

Hope this helps

If it's games, or music, may need to install or update one or more of your installations, such as video/audio ( media players ) or Java or such as this. A prompt usually pops up when it's required to do but not all ways.OR A little more info please,, (-8 thanks. Or call AOL tech support.

is the laptop getting extremely hot on the bottom.
Could be thermal shut down (keeps the cpu from meltdown temperatures)

This is an issue with Black Planet's server. You'll need to contact Black Planet for support on this issue.

Look in your instruction book. They give the contact information for parts and service. Also, if you visit the Toshiba web page you can have all the necessary information.

In some of their models, the unit has to go back to them for service. When you try to order a new keyboard, they will tell you that type of information.

I have the same problem and I am tired...Please help.

you can try pressing f8 to boot on safe mode, then try to set the video cards resolution to low, its possible that the resolution rate is set to high when the computer is booting normally thats why you get a blank screen, the video card cannot cope up to the resolution, or could also be the drivers for the video card you might need to reinstall an updated driver.

Its the female reciever on the laptop from moving left to right and up and down the hole you put the metal prong into is now too loss and needs to be replaced

Check the BIOS version of your notebook. Then go to support.toshiba.com to check if there is an updated version. Then update ur BIOS. It might help. If your toshiba notebook is a canadian model, then visit toshiba.ca/support instead.

I am having trouble using the Kingston 2GB to transfer a file from my Gateway PC to my Toshiba laptop computer. Please help me.

This could be a problem with the driver, unistalling and reinstallingthe driver could probably resolve the issue. But if this doesn't help,there's an existing issue with microsoftwherein the webcam stops working or simply doesn't work after a while.They released a hotfix on their website that you might want to try todownload and patch your windowswith. The problem description might not be the exact same error thatyou are getting but it's worth a try. I've tried this patch on a numberof issues that isn't included on the description. This is also a bitsafer than downloading other patches from unknown third-party websitessince it is coming from microsoft themselves. Just click on thehyperlink below or copy and paste it on your address bar if it is notavailable.
