    I can't boot my Toshiba lap top...at start up I get a blue screen that says something about a bad BIOS...I can't boot from my XP install disk from my D/D...I can't mount from a USB hard drive that has XP system loaded...I can't boot in safe mode...I can't boot from the "after bios screen" choices...

    I'm dead in the water...

    I need help...

    I'm sorry if I am starting to may threads...I don't know how else to ask questions...I'm really trying to figure out how this site works...

    What is the exact error message?
    Were you doing anything relating to the BIOS before this happened?
