I hope I am in the right section to post this thread?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-S121 Laptop; I went to turn it on the other night and all I get is a black screen with this message:
the system could not be restarted from its previous location due to a read failure.
delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu.
Now, when I shut it down, turn it back on, it will not allow me to use the F8 key to begin the restart, reboot, etc....
It ignores that command and just goes right to the black screen with the above message.
I do not have my start menu, mouse does not work,etc...
Do I need to insert a restoration disc??
Any suggestions on how I can get this taken care of??
Thank You!!!
Much appreciated ~
