OK
Good morning.
Last night was possibly my hundredth night over the past 18th months to try and boot up windows 7 ultimate WHEN IT FAILS TO BOOT.
I just get a blank screen; after the bios boot up screen.
I had this (similar) problem in the past repeatedly, and was a forgotten name user on this site.
Back then, the 3D Tosh laptop was repaired repeatedly by Tosh; even after the warranty ran out.
What I really hate is that when you buy Windows 7 laptop, there is no repair disc.
Its like buying a car with no speedometer; with the vehicle company telling you to make your own.

So I tried to burn a disc of a boot disc on my XP desktop.

Complete refusal by the XP PC to burn an ISO file for Win 7. Perhaps fifty attempts last night.

I now am trying on this Vista laptop (a Tosh).
All I want to do is scream.
Scream
Scream
I am lost in a fog of hatred for a system that fails hundreds of times.

I have to download softweare to create a disc. Then find and download the Boot Disc ISO then burn it then go to the PC and install it.
BUT
How does anyone do that if their XP (for instance) does not allow the buring on a Win 7 X64 ISO file? If that is the problem. XP flat out refused to do it no matter what I did; no matter what ISO software burning kit I used; no matter how many times I ran the disc cleaner; no matter where I tried to download the ISO file from. No matter what new disc I tried.

Now I am trying with this Vista laptop. It only gets used for things like this.

Where was I ?

Ah, yes. Microsoft and Toshiba.

WHY DO THEY REFUSE TO INCLUDE A SIMPLE (Start-up) $1 DISC IN A PC WHICH COST OVER $1,400?
I CANNOT ACCESS THE WIN 7 HELP WHEN THE PC IS IN A FAILED STATE.

The problem is my fault though and the computer has frozen perhaps 1,000 times and to re-start I pull the plug and pull the battery; which usually works to re-start the laptop.

Windows 7 is rotten to the core. It is an i7 core laptop.

Now I find this site again (at last) and have found the exact file (many thanks); bu I forgot the site and waded through hundreds of sites over the nights looking for a solution.

I tried fixing it through the night (Again) but no go.

My question is; DO MICROSOFT HATE THEIR CUSTOMERS SO MUCH THAT THEY DESIGN AND SEND STUFF LIKE THIS TO BUYERS/CUSTOMERS ?

Are the only people of value their shareholders?

Behind this laptop is the Win 7 laptop with a blinking cursor on a black/dark grey screen.

Rant over. I think.

What do I do to prevent it happening again?

I will look for an alternative company to use in future.

Or completely give up.

P.S.
Microsoft should use amateurs to test their hardware/software to actually see how the general public function under problems. Just to get an inkling about what they are doing wrong.
Using experts pretending to be amateurs is a fail.

The customer eventually abandons companies that appear to hate them.

P.P.S.
I CANNOT POST A FAIL FILE AS THE COMPUTER REFUSES TO BOOT; DID I MENTION THAT; AGAIN, AGAIN.

You should be able to burn the ISO. Unless it is corrupt of course.
Have you tried:
http://cdburnerxp.se/en/home

Or burning at a slower speed.

When you laptop boots, do you see the detection of the hard drive?

Hope this helps.

I thought I mentioned that I cannot burn an ISO file on a laptop that will not boot up.

I have downloaded the ISO file from this site now and burned it (on my Vista laptop) using a Cnet file burner; but the laptop just booted up to the bios password and then number-crunched a few minutes and is back to a black blank screen.

Coffee helps me respond as I been up through most of the night trying to get the pile of ***** working..

I get this... now

"WINDOWS IS LOADING FILES".

(from the ISO disc, I think)

They only give you a second to respond to a bit of text to "press any key" on the boot option to run from the DVD/CD drive or 'C' drive' or FDD or whatever.

Number-crunching away now with a black screen.

Maybe I missed the bit of text
("press any key") an hour ago as it eventually went back to a blank/black screen with nothing.

I got it to go to the CD/DVD drive to boot.

Still number crunching after this edit 10 minutes later.

There is still a blank/black screen with no indication about anything to the MS PC customer.

Just the occasional sound of number-crunching in the background.

Do I leave it an hour or a week?

Its a mystery.

Blank/Black screen with a cursor arrow I can move. Nothing else.



Wouldn't it be nice if computers were as reliable as tinned beans.

Mate,

The reason I am asking about the drive Manufacturer is because maybe the drive is on it's last legs.
And maybe a utility from the drive manufacturer will help.

Do you see any disk light activity? disk light flashing? That would be an indication that something is going on.

The "Drive" is a 650 Gig Toshiba factory drive; they installed it a couple of months ago on a "repair" after the laptop wouldn't boot for the 900th time.

The 'C' Drive light is on, on the front of the laptop.

I now hear number-crunching again.

Still hearing number-crunching sounds to the blank/black screen with the movable white arrow.
