20 Most Recent Gateway 6510GZ Notebook Questions & Answers

First of all I'm not this smart. I found it and pasted it here for you from:
http://www.pcpowerguide.com/windows/damaged-mbr-error-message/

They get all the credit!

MBR is the acronym for Master Boot Record. The master boot record is located in the boot section of your hard drive, which is the first sector on the first platter. When you boot your computer, the master boot record tells the computer's BIOS (Basic Input Output System) where to find the bootstrap code for the operating system.
So if the MBR is corrupted, the BIOS can't find the operating system and you can get error messages like the following ones:

• Missing operating system
• Error loading system
• Invalid partition table

Looks pretty scary, doesn't it?
However, it is usually not that hard to fix a corrupted MBR and usually the rest f the hard drive is just fine and will boot normally once your fix the master boot record.
What Causes Damage to the MBR? A lot of things can cause damage to the MBR such as viruses designed to corrupt the boot sector. Some of them copy the original MBR to another file. Others do this by overwriting the MBR with virus code. In fact viruses and malware are one of the most frequent causes but, any file can become corrupted especially files that are accessed as frequently as the MBR.

You need to get a new battery i had the same problem for my laptop and it turned out that there is no real way to tell unless your battery is leaking battery acid

sorry i couldnt be much of a help and good luck!!

Can be a lot of things.
Try with removing battery for 10s.
If that doesn't work, access RAM, remove it and install it again.

You need to check first if the wireless switch is turn on. You cann see that infront or the side of the laptop. If it is on, check the function key for the wireless. Some computers have function key. Sometimes it is combination of fn and f5. Press those keys at the same time and you should see a pop up window and check if the current status is on. If it is on, uninstall/reinstall the wireless driver in device manager. and restart your computer. If this didn't work. You need to do re installation of your operating system.

I think it is problem with your power cord

you should get it replaced soon so that your battery does not get short

If the outlet is properly grounded and connected and the battery charger is properly connected I would look at the Power Supply being bad unless you've had damage to the plug.

hi,
goto device manager, start - run - sysdm.cpl , check wther usb drivers are installed or not.

Have you tried the following site

send it back to toshiba, it wont be under warranty, /me slaps the person who bricked it. thanks for being my 50th soloution.

remove the battery then connect the adapter and try to power on...

you need to check your device manager and make sure the device manager is reading the USB ports, if not, you will need top get a USB driver or go to ADD NEW HARDWARE, and search through there until you find universal serial hub or bus then click ADD

You don't need a recovery cd. You just need to remove the hard drive and insert it into an external drive caddy. Then it will become just like an external hard drive. You can browse the drive to copy over your new files and then use the drive for backing up your new files in the future.

Well I'm glad everything worked out.
So you just pried the DVD tray open with a paper clip and it opened releasing the DVD and computer worked again?
I'll have to try and remember that hahaha
Hope you have a great week too ^_^

Try This:

1. Press Windows Button & Pause/Break to go to the System Properties (or right click on My Computer and choose Properties, but the other way is more fun.)
2. Choose Device Manager.
3. Expand the Universal Serial Bus controllers section
4. Right click and choose Properties of one that says something about PCI bridge (I forget the exact name and after you fix the problem, this item goes away. If you aren't sure, you try step 5 and 6 on all of the USB items in that list.)
5. Click on the Driver Tab (it's kinda slow loading).
6. If the driver information on top says "Not found" or "Not installed" then click Update Driver... and let it look for the driver itself (I didn't need the XP CD but that might be because I keep a copy of it on my hard drive just incase. You might need it, I don't know.)
7. After it finds the driver, click Okay and USB should start working immediately - no reboots needed!
