Boot Problem

feg75 · 09-23-2008, 11:40 AM

Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop A65-S1068. I cannot boot up. When I try, it goes straight to the screen with all the safe mode start up options along with last known config, etc. No matter what option I choose, it goes to the windows splash screen and right back to the safe mode options screen. The drive is a Hitachi 60 GB drive I have run several utility programs to no avail. The ones that check partitions and MBR report no problems while Hirams bootable cd reports missing fat or fat 32 table.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Try and get into the Bios. Look for the SafeMode and disable it.
