Anyone have an easy cure for this?
Is this a fresh install?
Somehow it sounds like its using something from the boot info on the dvd
Tried a repair ?
Yes I have ran a repair and of course no go. Not a fresh install yet but it's heading in that direction. Virus maybe?
Boot from cd, fixboot /mbr
Yes I was going to try that also this morning. Thanks for the reply's.
That didn't work either.
Now this is just fantastic, I formatted the computer and it still does the same thing. Drive is set to boot first so that's not it.
Add more to the mystery a new drive does the same thing.
Called Toshiba and they said it is the motherboad which is what I had come to a conclusion to also. It's under warranty.
What conclusion can you elaborate?Quote:

If there is a multicard reader, disconnect it when installing windows. Re-connect it after windows loads. My guess is the windows installation is not c:.
When you say it will not boot up, is it just not making it to the log in screen or do you see nothing on the screen at all?
