My Toshiba Satellite with Vista Premium 64 stopped working.I get the black screen and only F2,or F12 work(not F8)If I don't press anything, I get a message

"Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your pc.This error can be caused by unplagging a removable storage device...,or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM.Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your pc.

File:\Boot\Bcd

Status:0xc00000e9

Info an unexpected I/O error has occured."

Nothing is connected to my laptop.

Can't go to any safe modes.Tapping F8 not doing anything.Tried recovering my system with Vista recovery disc' with no luck.When I get to System Recovery Options screen,no systems come up.I tried trun System repair,get the same massage at the end.Tried to do restore points,get error message about not having any restore points.Is there a way I can restore it to factory settings with pressing some magic buttons?Or do anything else to get it to work.I must've spent at least 20 hrs trying to fix it,with no results.Thanks for any suggestions.

    The computer responded that the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error? What to do now.

    try to go to your BIOS setup. look for the SATA mode. change AHCI to compatible mode. this will bypass your i/o error..

    Yeah, apparently Deleena 5 didn't understand the problem. With a blank screen,kinda hard to even guess where the mouse  arrow is, let alone try to open anything. Have the same problem with my ACER Aspire 5750-6690. Working on it. That IT degree is finally paying for itself.

    Once I find the fix for it, I will post.
