Wont boot! recycle over and over!

toshiba 1805-s274

I have a toshiba satelite laptop and it sudden wont boot up! I mean it can power up and everything but once it shows the windows logo.... it just restart itself over and over..... and also it has blue screen sayinf dump of memory something something like that.

I tried to go to safe mode but same thing happend... blue screen and recycle itself over and over. I tried everything.... like boot in best configuaration that work ect.... but still no work.

I had a recovery disc that cme with it..... tried to reformat and everything with the recovery disc.... but my CD drive dont even work! it wont read! now im stuck! cant even use recovery CD! and cant boot up!

anyone have any idea?
 
you may need to get a new cd drive, or a external one. If you happen to have a different laptop, you can usualy find a screw 5 inches away from the center that will allow you to remove it. i believe most these days are compadable with others. if not you may have to get a external drive
 
You have a corrupt hard drive.

Get your XP disk, boot into the recovery console and at the prompt run "chkdsk c: /r"

It didnt come with XP disc and I do not have XP disc but I do have the recovery disc from toshiba that came with it.... is there any other way to solve it? also my cd drive somehow dont work.

How did the hard drive currupt? what makes it currupt?
 
my friend's sony laptop (tr series) had that problem and was fixed by using the recovery console. she used a spyware program that deleted a critical file needed to start windows.

hard drive corruption may also be the cause. especially if it had been making "metal ball in a tin can" noise.

if installing an internal is a problem then purchase an external and change the boot device to usb. try using the recovery console. if that doesn't work then perhaps it was hard drive failure. replace hd
 
Sometimes manufacturer recovery disks have the recovery console option. If not, just borrow an XP disk from someone (any one will work).

There's a number of reasons why disks corrupt. Just make sure you do a backup once you repair it. Western Digitals are particularly bad for doing that.
 
first you should google that model number and see if there's a recovery partition. for instance my vaio sz320 has a hidden partition and to access it i press F10 during boot. after doing so i'm presented with options like: wiping the drive clean back to factory contitions, reinstall all programs that came with the laptop, or recover. recover is what you want.

if you don't have that option then use your disks. read what it says. if it's anything similar to my sister's toshiba u series 1 is for the OS, the others are for drivers and programs. insert the OS disk in and choose recover. if you don't recover then you'll wipe your drive (assuming you didn't partition it)

if your cd drive is screwed up get an external or replace the drive. with the external choose boot with usb

and if any of the above doesn't work then it "may" be the hd.
