Toshiba Satellite M50D-A-10Z boot failure












1















So I have a problem with booting up on my Toshiba Satellite.
I've been trying to install Wine for Ubuntu and in the middle of the process I've encountered an error message in my terminal saying that something malfunctioned in /etc/... directory ( I can't remember what exactly). After that I've tried several more commands but the same message would appear again. I restarted the laptop thinking that it would help but it couldn't pass the "welcoming screen" (black screen with Toshiba logo).
I have tried entering BIOS, holding 0 while turning on the laptop and few other methods that were recommended on some other forums but nothing worked.
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? Is it some weird software failure or hardware problem?
Thanks in advance!
