Hello, I have a Toshiba L300, everytime I switch it on it comes up with loads of writing and says no bootable device, I want to restore to factory settings but all the stuff already mentioned does not work, I have pressed everything but the same lot of writing comes up on the screen and I understand none of it.
So to switch it on I have to press F2 go into setup utility then exit and then my windows vista starts up normal!! What is wrong? Why can I not get it working properly?
Please please please help me :-((

Hello Geri,
So that I don't repeat anything that you already tried and also not to waste your time and mine, could you please explain:
"...but all the stuff already mentioned does not work,..."
Regards

Hi Geri,
Toshiba does not come with boot disks anyway, they must be created.
Have you read this famous Kioskea tip on how to reset your Toshiba to factory settings? "F" is not the way.

Good luck

Yes I had to create the recovery disks when I fist got the laptop, but when I needed the disks for restore they did not work, at that time I was still under cover so I had assistance. I have just tried the 0 key but unfortunately it did not work, it just made a bleeping sound and went staright bacl onto the black screen with all the writing again:-( Thank you for your halp and advice :-)

Hi Geri
I am afraid that you have a harddisk failure which only a qualified technician can attend to.
Terribly sorry about that.

When I first switch on my laptop before pressing anything all the info of the laptop comes up on the black screen then after the Client mac addr, it says No boot filename received
then PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.
No bootable device --insert boot disk and press any key
But I have lost the boot disk as it never worked before when I needed it and I then had online support, it has since ran out.
