    Dear All,

    I have Hard Disk that has Win 8 loaded on it after many Month in using the Laptop. The Laptop show error "Data error and need to repair" Since then the hard disk have not been working.

    The problem am facing now is the Laptop does not boot again after the first screen (see attached picture)

    I have removed the hard disk and used External HDD Enclosure to extra the data, The Hard Drive shows but i cant access it.

    I have check online for other help but I could not find solution

    Regards
    Babatunde

    I just had to handle my cousin's Toshiba laptop with the same/similar problem. All repair/recovery options fail. The cause was a recent update from Toshiba or from Windows Update. I fixed his laptop by using system restore, selecting a restore point a week prior to the problem. Once back in Windows 8 I disabled that goofy Toshiba update software.

    Instructions from Toshiba here:

    Thank you.

    I have try this step but the problem i experience now is The HDD is faulty why i say this is because the hard drive boot for some mins after which it will stop. What am saying is when your hard drive start you will hear a sound from it and after few mins, the noise will absolute silent

    Why not? What happens when you try to open the drive? Error message?
