Windows XP freezes at bootup
Toshiba Satellite notebook A60 WMI system unit
Computer was shut down and when I went to start it it freezes at the bootup. Can`t get into safe mode or anything just comes up with all those lines that it checks and than stops. Hate to have to do the recovery if their is another way. Using windows XP Thanks for help |

Hello ruth29 give this a try:
XP Reset the CMOS jumper on the motherboard. This jumper is usually located near the battery and is labeled CMOS stamped on the board. The jumper is on pins 1&2. Move it to pins 2&3 (clear). Leave it for a few moments and then move it back to pins 1&2. This will clear the bios and all settings will go back to default. Then select CDROM as the first boot device and boot to the XP CD and run install. **Note** Some older CDROMS are NOT bootable...and if this is the case you will need to use the 6 disk setup (From MS Site) to boot to the XP CD. Also be aware if this is an older system....USB keyboards were not supported in a DOS enviorment so it may not work in the bios. Use a none USB keyboard. Hope this helps.

Codered, this is a laptop, not a desktop computer, and it does not come with a standard XP CD, just a restore CD, if that - it may only have a restore partition.

I do thank you and as you said if it was a desktop might have worked. Anyway found out it is still under warranty so called Toshiba guess its a bad hard drive so computer will have to get a new one. Guess lucky it happened before the warranty was up.
Thought it might have been a windows problem. Thanks |
