I have a Toshiba Satellite M115 S3094
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP2
After taking over 20 minutes to restart via Start/Turn of
Computer/Restart I got the screen saying that the computer may have
shutdown to save some files or a power outage or someother improper
shutdown occured. It gave me options on how to restart the computer
such as restart normally; last known good configuration; safe mode (3
or 4 different variations of that). Nothing would restart the
computer. Just kept cycling to that shutdown error page.
I rebooted the computer with the Toshiba Recovery Disk and re-formatted
the HDD. I scheduled a disk check and the first 4 steps cycled through
fine. At step 5, "Check Free Space" it hung and would not go past 0%.
I waited over an hour and nothing happened. I did a hard restart and it
went immediately back to the check disk utility. It hung again at step
5.
I restarted again and bypassed the check disk utility and the computer
booted fine. But something is wrong and I am leery about re-installing
all my software just to have it crash again.
Any ideas on what could be the problem and if so, any solutions?
Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
