Can I create bootable disc for my Satellite A10?

Hello! I run Windows XP (SP1) on my Toshiba Satellite A10/15. I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive. Manifests problem as very slow system attempts to write something on the hard drive and multiple messages on ' missing config32, lack of attempts to write MFT$, bad clusters ' etc. I'm not too well known, so I'm rather lost in the bunch of info on all the these chkdsk/f, Testdisk, Bart PE, Hiren's BootCD, pressing F12 or F8, primary and logical partitions the user etc. Please help me with some basic things in my head!

1. I have Toshiba Recovery DVD. I think it gives me a single opportunity: to lose all my files and restore the Virgin system I got when I bought my laptop. If I can make a bootable CD (I have CDRW/DVDR) and boot from it? (I have a urgent translation work for a client cross now and would like to put my extra computer education until I give him the satisfaction.)

2 if I download XP2 or XP3 on Microsoft site I will be able to make my own bootable CD? (My internet connection is slow and it is difficult to download large updates whenever my system is reluctant.)

3. What is the right path to solve the problem with the bad clusters? Is there a proper sequence for through remedies that I mentioned above? Or should I try all the remedies I mentioned above to my own sweet will (as soon as I read about them)?

Hello

The A10 is a former, and it is not impossible that your HARD drive starts to malfunction.

(1) it seems that you have one of the oldest recovery disk that supports the standard recovery procedure and expert recovery procedure. The standard collection format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions from the disk. Recovery expertise formats only the partition where the operating system will be installed.
So you can use the recovery expertise to reinstall the operating system on the partition.

> Can I make a bootable CD (I have CDRW/DVDR) and boot from it?
Yes. You can create this disk. For example, Microsoft Windows PE can be useful. Google a bit...

(2) you can not download the Win XP... you can download the SP2 and SP3, but this service packs are can be used in the framework of pre-installed Win XP OS.

(3) the /F command chkdks corrects errors on the disk... also deliver the bad clusters...

  • How can I check the disc for physical integrity on Satellite P305?

    I have P305-S8838.

    I had some freezing problems earlier this month, and on the notice here, I nu start-up and reduced services a little at a time.
    Now, I have a few more crash but don't know if it's a physical disk problem.

    For example... I have run CHKDSK and does many things and happens at the exact same spot and hangs at step 4 file 5 3498 or 421168 processed.

    I tried to run CHKDSK in SafeMode but tells me drive is locked and it will run when I restart. But the restart put back me in normal mode and get the same hang.

    Now, for more suspicion of a physical problem. I tried to make a disk image with ACronis and same problem occurs because he says impossible to reading data 226 964, 072 sector and ask if I want to ignore and continue. I say yes to everything. Log shows he made about three of these attempts and crashes.

    I ran sfc/scannow and it says found problems that he was unable to fix. The newspaper isn't so long and complex course that all means. I could send these log files if someone can help me understand.

    I ran the test of memory OK.

    I if I could put in DVD Toshiba and certain diagnoses, but when I put in the disk I get this big warning I'll crush, etc and I have chicken.

    This didn't stop me to use the computer, but its all irritating.

    How can I check the disc for physical integrity?

  • How can I create an object for the vista HP 64 bit operating system installation disc?

    My PC shows signs a failure and I want to save my 'operating system', so I can "reinstall it later." Everything I saw in the forums are just consider my manufacturer. My Builder can not handle make me backups. I had to send them back 7 DOA (dead on arrival) and they never gave me a working copy. So in the end I just receive a refund. and geeksquad is way to expensive. so, how do I go about creating a disc of resettlement?

    Also the backup center and repair is more than the option to backup my operating system.

    Hello

    If you have a recovery disk partition hard HP are the people to contact about this

    It's their recovery partiton not microsofts

    and they have their own special way to make the recovery partition recovery disks

    If as you say your backup centers is not more work you can use 3rd party software to make a complete picture pc

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/

    or if you just want to reinstall a new copy of vista, read this:

    borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • Can I create a hotspot on my Satellite L300-11th?

    Hello!

    I have already installed the drivers for my wireless card (laptop is Satellite L300-11th) and I can connect to any access points.
    But I have question: can I create an access point on my laptop. If so tell me please how I can do it.

    Kind regards
    Andrey.

    As far as I know that's not possible.

    If you want to throw a ranger superior of the router, you can use a Repeater. It receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power.

    And if you want to connect between laptops without router you can assign access to the ad hoc network in the advanced settings WLAN.

    Hello

    You need to buy a compatible player!
    Not all slim drives are compatible due to different master slave / parameters c - salt!

    Generally, your user manual must contain a list of compatible drives.
    If you have no user manual to use this device, then you can download it here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> support downloads & -> Toshiba operating manual

    Here, you have to choose Archive as first option!

    On the other hand, you could get in touch with a local ASP from Toshiba.
    Guys might provide a good information on the supported disc!

  • How to create bootable CDs for Tecra M7?

    Hello

    I just got my Tecra M7 and want to split the drive into 2 partitions. I found several tools to do this without losing the data on the existing partition, but they all seem to rely on the use of a boot disk. I don't have a floppy drive, so I tried to create a bootable CD.

    I use CDBurner XP Pro and this tool gives me the ability to create a bootable XP image or emulate a floppy disk. If I select the programs that I want to run after startup (the partition in my case manager) and use an XP image and start the laptop (by pressing F12 and selecting the CD player to start), nothing happening, just a flashing cursor, but the system does not meet all the keys. If I use the emluation floppy the system starts and I get an A: cursor. If I look at the contents of A:, I see several programs, such as format and fdisk (according to the .ima file that I used during the creation of the CD). But I do not see the files I added, so I can't run the partition manager.

    How can I create a bootable CD that contains the files that I want to run after starting?

    Thank you

    Hi SilentEngima,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    You can try to create another administrator account and then you can keep the new account and delete the old one (be sure to copy the necessary files in system folders is first!), or you can use the new account to set the password for the old account (e.g. from the control panel-> user accounts).
