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 Manshu S #iworkfordell message edited by DellManshuS

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. Thanks & Regards Manshu S #iworkfordell

If you have a Vista disk you could attempt a repair install: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/8... But try #4 above first. Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Thanks for assisting me with fixing my lap top. However, I'm out of town for the holiday. I shall be back home Tuesday the 3rd at which time will attempt to try all that was advised to fix the problem with my toshiba laptop. Hope everyone enjoys their Holiday.
