My Toshiba Satellite A215-S4757 laptop came preloaded with Windows Vista. After a Windows upgrade, my laptop failed to boot citing "SMART failure Predicted on Hard Disk 4" and to "Press F1 to Continue". The recovery disk will not work. It appears that the laptop does not recognize the DVD/CD-ROM Drive. After I press F1, I get the "Windows Boot Error ... File:\windows\system32\winload.exe ...

As you have found out, never try to update the Bios in Windows. You could try clearing the CMOS but I'm doubtful that will resolve your problem. Instructions should be in the owner's manual.

I tried and tried to no avail last night. I borrowed my friend's Microtech SmartFDD USB Floppy Drive and many combinations of phlash16 and bios, but nothing seemed to work. The main thing I noticed is that my computer will not seem to recognize the floppy drive. When I have the DVD module in, it spins. When a USB flash drive is plugged in, the light flashes. When my hard drive is in, I ...
