Two days ago I was working on my laptop and I ran into a problem (forget what it was) and a pop up said I should run the chkdsc utility. I did as it said and after running it, it said I needed to restart the computer. When I restarted it, it just froze on the start-up screen (the Toshiba logo screen). My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5331 and Im running Windows Vista ( which I think sux).
At the bottom of the Toshiba logo screen it says hit f2 for set up or F12 for boot device selection menu but neither works. I hold the F2 as I power it on and it just says please wait and does nothing else. When I do the F12 it just says entering boot device selection menu and then nothing happens. I also tried removing the hard drive and it does the same thing, I tried removing the ram and replacing it. Tried holding the power button for 30 seconds and nothing seems to work. I would be eternally greatful if someone could help me. My laptop had alot of my 6 year old sons pics and my husband who is in the mid-east. I really hope they arent lost. Thank you in advance for any pointers you could give me or ideas of things to try.
