Did you make sure you ran Startup Repair 3 times?

chose that option a few times. but it goes to a blank screen and nothing happens. seems to not be doing anything.


its not booting so I cant get to dos or safemode or anything

window boot manager. win failed to start. a recent hw or software change may be the cause.

status: 0xc000000f

info: a required device isnt connected or cant be accessed.

not sure what this means?

Work through the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/220165-troubleshooting-steps-windows-7-a.html.

If this is the original Toshiba factory install then that is the worst install of Win7 one can have in the first place, so I'd strongly consider using this opportunity to do a http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html#post1839164 with our help. You'll get and keep a perfect install as long as you stick with the tools and methods in the tutorial, which includes everything needed.
