Toshiba Laptop Boot Menu Loading Instead of Startup

[farhaj]

I opened Toshiba Laptop - (Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065) maybe after a period of around 4.5 Years.

All my very Important Data is in it and I want to get it.

But, now when Opening the Laptop; the Screen goes on to the Boot Menu and asks for the Option to either go on to the Hard Drive or the CD/ DVD Option.

The Hard Drive which Shows up the name is ( Hitachi HTS545050B9A300).

Specs:

1) Windows 7
2) Toshiba Satellite A665-S6065
3) Hitachi HTS545050B9A300

Please, tell me a Solution to the Problem where I will be able to login to the startup Screen Easily without losing my internal Data.

Attached are some of the images of the Laptop Screen and the Laptop ID details..

You might need to repair the boot loader. But before you try that, in the boot screen there, is the hard drive selected as the first boot device?

All is not lost. You can access all of your unencrypted data by attacking the hard drive to a USB to SATA connector and accessing it via another computer.

I would delete that screenshot of your Windows product key unless that's OEM.

Edit-

Okay, I see from the screenshot that the hard drive is the first boot device. Follow these two tutorials.

Before you try that, open the bottom of the computer and reseat the RAM slots. You may need to read your manual, but the RAM should be in the bottom of the computer and the plastic cover comes off with a few screws. Do not touch the RAM copper contacts. Hold the RAM on the sides.

The boot menu screenshot says at the bottom that...


[ HDD/SSD Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 ] is failed


...which suggests that the bios cannot boot from the drive and has displayed the boot menu to let you choose another device to boot from.


You may be able to recover your files by following F22 Simpilot's suggestion to use a usb adapter to read the drive on another PC.

You Mentioned "You can access all of your unencrypted data by attacking the hard drive to a USB to SATA connector and accessing it via another computer."...

What is the way to do it..? Can you explain that out to me..?

You can use a 2.5" HDD as an external usb drive and connect it to another PC with an adapter cable such as this one on Amazon
or an external enclosure like this one.

Does this mean that now AT ALL THAT I CANNOT BOOT MY LAPTOP itself from the Boot Menu or some other way without the need to open the Laptop

 

[farhaj]

F22 Simpilot & Bree...

1) do you think that opening a laptop after 4.5 years; can make the boot file go away from the Laptop and now it won't open up till the start up..?

2) If Not, what else could be the problem behind it..?

3) can You advise and also answer remaining of my queries which I asked earlier.

Both of the Links which you showed, does it require manually to pull out the hard drive from the Laptop and then insert it into the case and access it with the cable.:shock:

Is, their any way to access the Laptop Hard Drive without the need to Extract the HD manually from inside it...

and what is SATA HD... the Laptop's HD is Called as SATA..?

Yes, if you remove the HDD you could connect it to another PC. If the drive is not corrupt and still readable you could recover your files and documents from it.

Is, their any way to access the Laptop Hard Drive without the need to Extract the HD manually from inside it...

Only by booting from something else, either on a CD/DVD or bootable USB. You can boot the Windows install media and get a command prompt, for example. You could then copy files from the drive, if it can be read. Or you could boot from Kyhi's bootable rescue drive which gives you a Window-like environment including useful tools like Recuva, should they be needed.

and what is SATA HD... the Laptop's HD is Called as SATA..?

The standard interface used by most modern drives.

Serial ATA (SATA, abbreviated from Serial AT Attachment) is a computer bus interface that connects host bus adapters to mass storage devices such as hard disk drives, optical drives, and solid-state drives.

I think now I have one more issue to it.. I think the Hard Drive has been formatted and then placed in my Laptop..
Is their any way to extract those data which was once their and now the drive is also not booting.,...

Recuva claims to be able to recover files from formatted disks. It would be simplest to install Recuva on another working PC, then remove the drive from this PC and attach it to the other PC by usb.

Recuva may also help with your other WD drive that may also have been formatted.

Can you tell me that does formating have to do anything with a hidden partition which if deleted, cannot be done anything about recovery from a formatted Drive...

And I checked with 2 other programs for the recovery mode which didn't work out for me ( For a 7 GB flash Drive which was also formatted and was asking to format , the moment inserted inside the laptop )..

Those 2 programs were:
1) easeus recovery
2) data drill recovery..

But, both of those; I used it the freeware version
..

Now , I need your guys comments and reviews on this one..

After around 4.5 Years your CMOS battery must has discharged. Enter BIOS to check if it has the current date.
Your HDD has a problem. It can be dead, or partially damaged.
Install on an external enclosure and attach on another computer to try to retrieve your data.

With what computer are you working now, a desktop or a laptop?

Your options:
- Remove the HDD from the laptop and install it on a desktop or on a USB caddy so you can test it.
- Boot from a USB drive with the tolls to test it in same laptop. This is a good tool
