No Boot, or safe mode

[deejaydee]

Hi readers,
Needing some help rather urgent. I have a laptop
just 3mths old
when i power up ,I get as far as the Toshiba logon ,enter pasword but it
fails to go through
the Bios check. The cursor just hangs top left corner. I cant get through F8
to the safe mode
I used the laptop Sunday lunchtime, set a system restore before installing
some Utilities, then
shut down. I go on holiday next Tuesday, hopefully with the laptop
When i press any key ,there is a loud series of beeping ,thats just about
it. also posted on
Toshiba forums.

Ha! the laptop is Sat Pro A200 series , with XP Prp OS

Does it stop at a Toshiba Logon? or the Windows Logon?
If it wants a password before the Windows Logon, then you have a BIOS password set.
If it wants a Windows Password, then you have boot problem.
The use of the F8 key for a startup menu has to done before the Windows logon ever comes up.
Start tapping the F8 rapidly as soon as power is turned on.
