Hi Ivan,
Glad to read to originator of the thread is back after 2 years ! Too
bad we still don't have a solution after such a long time...
If I remember right the problem is due to the Phoenix/Microsoft BIOS
that Toshiba chose at the time. There is something about that
particular BIOS.

How can this not be a Ubuntu-Linux related problem.?
Just because Toshiba haven't come forward with an explanation and a fix to
restore a computer system
after it was "apparently" damaged by a software installation is their choice.
Explaining why and what the software installation damaged is
Please don't close the report. The more reports that come in the more
likely Toshiba will help. Agreed that it is a serious Toshiba-related
problem not a Linux issue, but Ubuntu, and Linux users in general, will
benefit from knowing the dangers.
In my opinion, Toshiba needs to make good on these
Hello
This seems a serious and hidden hardware problem in Toshiba's computers running
various Operating Systems, not only Linux based.. Only thing that I can suggest
is to rewrite your bios.

I've contacted Toshiba Italia, thei says : it is possible to repair the
notebook but only at their lab.
So I'll try to undestand how much is the price for reparing.
I'll tell you soon.

I have had the same problem. In fact, I didn't even try to install
Ubuntu, I tried to boot to Ubuntu on USB, and on reboot my computer
booted Windows and the Ubuntu app said it could help me to boot to USB.
That worked successfully one time, and then I got the BIOS block/ call

Excuse me for the multiposting. I realize we have three chances:

If you run a computer flawlessly for years and then install a different
