1.	Solve : My Toshiba Satellite 1800 fails to boot!?
Answer» -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When i power my laptop,the power LED indicator and the cd/floppy LED indicator LIGHTS up,and remains in that state,and also the laptop cant proceed with booting.Also nothing even SHOWS up on the sreen during this period..But if i put the power off and on repeatedly ,it may EVENTUALLY boot..Am confused ,can anyone give me a solution to this anomaly. What Operating System? When did this problem start? (any recent hardware changes or downloads/installations?)win xp,it started after my HDD failed.I changed the HDD still the problem is not still gone.To boot,i have to try several times.Bfore it can boot at all. Quote I changed the HDD You changed the Hard Drive? I think that may be a problem but does it work when you manage to boot into Windows? Do you have the Windows CD handy? Can you boot from the CD and PERFORM a Repair Install?The system normally comes up,but to start it is always very hard,after a lot of trials.And It is not recognising dvd rom on windows.Once i insert a PLATE,every thing ceases... When you boot into Windows, can you install the CD ROM Driver?If you replaced a HDD and re-installed Windows you need to re-install the laptop motherboard drivers... I'm suprised it boots at all.
