It doesn't even get to the Toshiba logo. It had really been fine up to this point and this has come as a bit of a mystery.
Help us out please and save our marriage!!!

i just met the fit hitting the shan....
it had win xp and an 80 gig hard drive.
the hard drive is making the horrible noise of a RCcar. the tilting of the laptop is also causing the noise to change. i am hoping to get it to boot one more time and transfer everything off with one large file transfer.
i would like some thoughts on an os and i have the key code for xp but no cds came with the product at all.
any suggestions or ideas would be helpful.

If it is legit copy of OS (ex. HP laptops come with recovery partition, instead of CD/DVDs, making it all depend on HD) then contacting your manufacturer for the recovery disks would be the way to go.
Are you sure that the HD is source of the noise? It could be CPU/GPU fan as well. Especially with the tilting. If it is HD, then saving the data is next to impossible, unless you pay the specialized ppl for the service.

Are you talking about that Toshiba laptop?
Does it boot at all?
Maybe you should take it apart and clean out any sugar that is left in it.

Re: Toshiba beeping
My Toshiba laptop (3 mths old) beeps once every 10 minutes or so whether it's on or not. I checked the connections and they seem okay. This started yesterday and looks like it's about to continue! Help??!!! Thnks, Rennie
