Okay so.. I have a toshiba satellite m645 and the other day it froze up to where i had to turn it off.
Now whenever i power it on it loads up and takes me to the boot menu where this is listed.. HDD/SSD, CD/DVD, FDD, LAN, and under that it says enter BIOS setup. No matter what boot option i pick it brings me right back to the boot menu..
When i enter bios setup it takes me to 6 available tabs, when im on the "main" tab i see that it says HDD/SSD "Not installed" so im thinking great my hard drive is fried so i went out and bought a PNY CS1111 SSD.. Still says its not installed. No matter what i do in the bios setup i can not get around the boot menu!!! And before anyone tries to say hit F8 when starting it up or F this F that NOTHING WORKS!! EFF THIS lol.. I cant even get into recovery options to reset to facory defaults by holding 0 while powering on and this happens even with my old hard drive in.
When im on the boot menu and if i hit the escape button on my keyboard it goes to a black screen and then it says this..
boot failed. P4-HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT30F
boot failed. FDD. Then what do you know it takes me right back to the boot menu. I even have all the toshiba recovery disc from geek squad when i bought the laptop from best buy and i put those in and nothing happens.
Now heres something i have to let you know but i doubt makes a difference. A few months ago something happened to where my laptop would only start me up in safemode i figured out it was a windows update that did it so i unistalled it and went into system settings and turned boot into safe mode OFF and then i got back into my normal operation without being booted into safe mode. So if turning safe mode off is the problem then how would i get back in to turn it on????
Thank you for reading im really stressed over this and would love any type of help!!
