I am trying to restore my laptop to factory default settings and I pressed the 0 key when starting up and I hit HDD Factory settings and now I get the following information:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)

No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I do not have a boot disk as it did not come with one and I did not download one. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Can I fix it without buying a disk or do I need to buy a boot disk and if so..where?
I'm having the same issue with a toshiba. I went into bios and the HDD is set as number 1 in boot order. Still can't get past this black screen with boot error. Hitting zero is not allowing recovery either.
Try hitting f12 during reboot as soon as you see the Toshiba screen appear. More information about restoring to a factory without the installation disk on page 64:

When the computer is booting up, there is a brief moment where it says "press F2 or DEL to load setup or BIOS". If you go into the BIOS there is an option to set the boot order. You need to set the hard drive (HDD) to be the first boot device. If a computer attempts to boot from the network then this PXE boot error occurs.
the message you're displaying is telling you that your computer is trying to boot to a network device. Typically this is used in a business environment when an administrator is trying to roll out an image across multiple computers. Also known as pixie boot (PXE).
Can you computer boot into windows at all?
if you, if you go into My Computer do you have a separate partition (to C:) called RECOVERY?
Can you go to Start > All Programs > and find toshiba recovery software here?
when you got the laptop it will have come with instructions for recovery.
I can't get to my computer at all. When I turn on the computer it goes straight to loading windows... then the Toshiba screen and then the black screen with the white typing above.
I cannot get Windows on my laptop C655 and I have tried hitting the zero, f2, f8, f6, and nothing happened, blank screen. I am not sure what I did but I got into another screen but cannot get out of it and it is asking for a bootable device, to insert boot disk and press any key.
The hard drive is dead. There may have been a power surge, you may have touched the hard drive when you weren't grounded, or you were grounded but forgot to remove the battery(like me!!!). Anyways, sorry about your luck but that is what happens sometimes.
I have 2 toshiba lap tops down same symtoms. All the reading I have been doing these last few days, really seems like Toshiba is a piece of garbage. I wonder how to go about a civil suit against this company for the garbage they sell. My one toshiba was only 6 mos old.
