A satellite crashes during installation of XP after replacing HARD drive

Hello

I'm trying to install a new hard drive, I boot from a CD of XP.
Everything goes well until the moment when the system reads "Windows starts now" and then my laptop crashes.

What I am doing wrong?

Hello

First question; What model of laptop do you have exactly?
Second question; New HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

If you have a series of laptop latest then you should check if the SATA in the BIOS mode was changed to compatible.
You can install the operating system without previous SATA driver installation.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to start the recovery image installation. The data saved on unusable USB on this path. It must be the startup created by Toshiba recovery disc creator device
    You can only install recovery image using the recovery disk.

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.

    What Vista did you use? TOSHIBA recovery disk or a disk of Microsoft Vista?
    Format you the new HARD disk before starting the installation of Vista?

    It is possible that the new HARD drive is not good and therefore the system can not be installed properly
    You can check the drive HARD using a tool called Drive Fitness Test download this as its a freeware program and test your HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A10 (PSA15E) - no card after replacing HARD drive wireless network

    Hello

    just a spare hard drive was fitted by an expert, all drivers and update of the BIOS installed on the site of Toshiba, but my wireless network card does not work.
    When I try to connect via a router it says that the card is disconnected?

    I went into Device Manager and of what follows is listed under devices Details ld:
    PCI\VEN_10B7 & DEV_6001 & SUBSYS_600110B7 & REV_01\5 & 36 D 029F7 & 0058F0

    Can someone please tell me which card is installed and where / how do get me to it.
    I don't understand how it can be unplugged?

    I use a 3com officeconnect wireless 11g PC Card which works fine until the hard drive failed.

    Help, please... I am due to go to the hospital Monday and I wish I could take it with me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry if I write this too late. :(

    He's old enough for laptop and I don't know with certainty what is the card inside, but all notebooks with wireless network inside card have a small stick of Wi - Fi at the bottom with number of WLAN card. Using this number in Google, you can identify the card.

    Anyway, there is not a lot of possibilities because on the Toshiba support page there are two WLAN drivers listed for your model of laptop. Try to install both of them. One of them must be good.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
    So, how can I put the o/s back on?

    Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
    But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

    But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
    After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

    Thanks for help.

    Hannu

    Hello

    I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
    I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
    Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

    Hello

    After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

    I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

    How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

    USB mouse works fine.

    See you soon

    The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

    You need to create the own recovery in the past disc!
    This recovery disk allows you to install the Toshiba image after the HARD drive is dead or has been replaced.

    In case you have not created this disk, it is possible to order this support:

  • Satellite A50 - message from system disk insert after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have an old A50 and the HARD drive comes with it's very slow and cracking now, so I'm trying to replace it with a new HDD - Hitachi travelstar 7200 RPM of 60 GB, with ATA interface.

    I took the old HDD and put the new, then on A50 and press F12, and then insert the CD recovery and restored (installation) everything on the new HARD drive. Once it's done, I rebooted A50, but what I got is then a black screen with the message "Insert system disk..." Does anyone know what I did wrong? I got tired of it several times, but I got the same results...

    Thank you.

    I think that Akuma is right.

    On FAT32 and Windows 98 should define the active partition, and then it should work.
    Then download a MS-DOS boot disk and burn it to a CD as Akuma has suggested. I tried it and it works :)
    It is quite easy with Nero.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

    Good day ladies and gentlemen!

    I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

    I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

    All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

    So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

    However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

    I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

    Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

    I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
    The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

    If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

    Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

    Hello

    I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

    But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

    Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

  • satellite 2520cdt is very slow after replacing HARD drive

    My Satellite 2520 CDT is the HARD Mk 4309 MAST 4.3 GB default disk. I replaced the with the Toshiba MK 2016 GAP of 20 GB.
    I use Windows 98 since the original installation CD. The laptop is now very slow, it takes minutes to start programs, etc.

    I installed the latest BIOS with no improvement. Probably the laptop cannot manage the size of the HARD drive.

    Is there a solution?

    Hello

    I had the same suggestion. I think that the large size of the HARD disk is responsible to slowly start performance. But I wonder why BIOS recognize the HARD drive?
    However, try to defragment the HARD drive.
