when i turn on my Toshiba Satellite L5050-s5965 laptop, it comes on then goes black screen w/flashing white curser. However i can i can go to boot menue and set up F2 ,F12. It is windows vista . Can i fix the problem using one of these methods
I would try F8 first & choose Last Known good config
or safe mode.How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
Hi sassynen, Ensure that you unplug all external peripherals and then turn on the system.
Let us know the following details:
1. Is the hard drive detected in BIOS?
If it is detected, ensure that hard drive is selected as the first boot device.
2. Have you made any hardware change recently?
3. Are you able to boot the system in safe mode?Turn on the system and tap F8 for advance boot option. Select Safe Mode.
Thanks & Regards

Hi sassynen, Unplug the adapter and the battery. Press and hold power button for 10 seconds. Plugin the adapter. Turn on the system. Check if the hard drive is detected in BIOS.

If you have a Vista disk you could attempt a repair install:
