Model: Toshiba Satellite M300
Fault: System failed to load up explorer.exe after startup, resulting in a blank screen(black screen) after booting. Started Task manager via Ctrl+Alt+Del and executed explorer.exe manually. Laptop continued to boot as normal. Suspected system files bug, owner preferred to reformat the system because of the hassle of going into task manager and executing explorer.exe time and again.
Tried installing with windows vista CD, found out that installing of the drivers was a hassle, so did a 2nd reformat with system recovery option(partition) found on hard drive.
Tech Geek SG How to: Accessing Recovery Option for Toshiba Satellite laptop.
Found from Yahoo! Answers:
To access the Toshiba recovery partition, power off laptop. Hold down the 0(zero) key and turn laptop on. Keep holding down the zero key until the Toshiba logo appears, where you should start tapping the zero key repeatedly. Stop when the unit beeps or when the Toshiba logo disappears. The screen should flash **HDD Recovery Mode** for a split second, then load the Toshiba Recovery program right from the hard drive
Performed factory default erase and recovery
Installed updates.
Laptop returned to owner with no complains
