• new hard drive G41, factory restored, now stuck to always start at R & R

  G41 2886-79U with XP Pro.  Hard drive died last year, still under warranty then took to an IBM service center.  They have replaced the hard drive under warranty and gave me a set of R & R and product recovery CD.  Laptop computer R & RL ran OK for about a month.  He started to be right about the time when my warranty has expired, becoming slow example, 45 minutes to start.  Random crashes, most often when closing programs, the error message this program could not write to the hard disk.  Frequency of accident back.

  Abandoned, taken from the hard drive to install a new hard drive.  [Hmmmm, I notice that they in fact did not replace my original with a new drive, this drive warranty-replaced has a sticker saying "Good used State party"].

  Installed the new HD, started using the CD R & R, then followed the six guests R & R factory restore since the product recovery CD.  After the sixth disc, message box saying it needs to restart the PC, you click Yes or no.  There is no direction to remove the CD from the drive, at this point.

  It restarts at the R & R window, with the popup of restore factory warning that the product recovery program is only for the unrecoverable system problems.  This looks at where we started the process of factory restore, there are seven CDs.  Choices here are OK, Cancel, or help.  Clicking OK brings you back at the beginning of the factory restore procedure.  Cancel on your vacuum on the main R & R screen. By clicking on restart here restarts once again to the screen of Rescue and Recovery.

  Now the G41 is stuck, still boots to R R & does not start in XP.

  I pulled the HD and installed temporarily in another PC that has a floppy drive, this allowed me to start with Partition Magic.

  R & R 3 partitions on the new disk as follows:

  1. the label is IBMPSP, Type FAT32, size = 406 MB, used (s) = 290,4 Mb, status = None, Pri/Log = primary.

  2 no label, Type unallocated =, size = Mo 71738,8, used (s) = 0.0 MB, status = None, Pri/Log = primary.

  3 no label, Type unallocated =, size = Mo 4171,3, used (s) = 0.0 MB, status = Active, Pri/Log = primary.

  On this PC, I let him try to boot from the hard drive and got the message "Missing Operating System".

  I put it in the G41, it starts at IBM Rescue and Recovery as before.

  I've searched the web and this forum looking for this same issue, have not found something exactly like this.

  If anybody out there knows how to get a new HD to market, let me know.

  Thank you, Don.  I found the idea on another forum of Lenovo.  So far things are working OK.  The other hard drive will be float-tested as soon as I do not know there is nothing on it that I still need.

  As the professor said, it's just not intuitively obvious to the casual observer.

  A note, when the PC was bought, it came with Norton Antivirus installed, long expired.  After the factory restore, the Nortonware registered with the site of Norton and apparently it has been recognized as a new installation and got the last update.

• Factory restore

  I recently inherited a MacBook Pro. It runs on Mac OS X Version 10.6.4 Intel Core 17. In my view, that it was made in 2010.

  It will not update the operating system. Otherwise, it works great. I was told to hold the r/control/power button will restore the system, but it did not work. I believe that the factory restore will solve the problem of update, but I don't know how to do this.

  Before purchasing a used computer, you must have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.

  The first thing to do after the acquisition of the computer is to wipe the internal drive and install a new copy of Mac OS X. You - not the original owner, must do. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this very complex seemingly simple task.

  How would you do it depends on the model, and if you already have another Mac. If you are not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then, find the model on this page to see which version of the OS was initially installed.

  It is dangerous and may be illegal to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.

  1. If you do not have another Mac

  a. If the machine comes with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a Snow Leopard install disc (OS X 10.6) retail boxed and "Shrink Wrap" on the Apple Store or a reputable dealer - no eBay or something of the sort. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you need to add in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory can take, according to the technical specifications.

  (b) if the machine comes with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that accompanies it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media of the original owner, but if you do not, order replacements from Apple. A disc at retail, or the gray discs of another model, will not work.

  To start from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, and then restart the computer and hold the C key to start ringing. Release the button when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.

  c. If the machine comes with OS X 10.7 or later version, you don't need media. It should start in the mode of Recovery of the Internet when you hold down the key combination option-command-R to start ringing. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe. Note that Mac Pro models turn over end of 2014 (with the box of "cheese grater") cannot use Internet recovery, regardless of what version of OS they shipped with. The Mac Pro round (2014 or later) can use it.

  d. some models 2010-2011 comes with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, allowing them to use Internet recovery. If you have one of these models, you cannot reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and recovery of the Internet won't work either without Apple ID of the original owner, in this case, contact Apple technical supportor take the machine to an Apple Retail Store or other authorized service provider to have an operating system installed.

  2. If you do not have another Mac

  If you already have another Mac which has been upgraded in the App Store to the version of Mac OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use the recovery disk wizard to prepare a USB device, and then starts the new Mac of it by pressing the C key to start ringing. Alternatively, if you have a backup of OS X Time Machine 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a time Capsule or other network device), you can start by holding down the option key and clicking in the row of icons that is displayed. Note that if your other Mac has never updated in the App Store, you can not use this method.

  3 partition and install OS X

  a: If you see a lock screen trying to boot from the support installation or recovery mode, then a firmware password has been defined by the previous owner, or the machine was locked remotely via iCloud. You will need to either contact the owner or by the machine to an Apple Retail Store or other provider of service to be unlocked. May asked you proof of ownership.

  b. launch disk utility, and then select the internal drive icon - no volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a partition table GUID with the volume of data in Mac OS extended (journaled) format. This permanently deletes all existing data on the disk.

  c. an unusual problem can occur if all the following conditions apply:

  OS X 10.7 or later version has been installed by the previous owner

  The boot volume has been encrypted with FileVault

  You start in recovery mode (that is, not of a 10.6 disk installation)

  In this case, you will not be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for advice or see this discussion of the CSA.

  d. after partitioning, quit disk utility and run the OS X Installer. If you install a version of OS X was acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password you used. When the installation is complete, the system reboots automatically in the Migration Wizard, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have all the data to be transferred, it is usually the best time to do it.

  e. run the software update and install all available Apple system updates. To upgrade to a major version of Mac OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can not keep an improved version that was installed by the first owner. He or she cannot legally transfer to you, and without the Apple ID, you will be able to update in a software update or reinstall, if it becomes necessary. Is the same for all App Store products that the previous owner installed, you will need to buy.

  4. other issues

  a. If the original owner "accepted" bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) applications in the App Store so that he or she could put up-to-date, IRREVOCABLY linked to that Apple ID and you can download them without having to buy them. Reportedly, the Mac App Store Customer Service sometimes issued codes of reimbursement for these applications to second owners who asked.

  (b) if the previous owner has not Deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you will not be able to authorize immediately under your username. In this case, you will have either to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

  c. When you try to create a new iCloud account, you could get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of life of three configurations by device iCloud account. Erasure of the unit does not reset the limit. You can always use iCloud account that was created on another device, but you will not be able to create a new. Contact iCloud Support for more information. Configuration limit does not apply to the Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as iTunes and Mac App Store or iMessage. You can create as many accounts you want.

• Pavilion all-in-one Q214 23: factory restore on the new HP Pavilion all in one computer

  I have a week 6 old Pavilion Desktop all-in-one.  I wanted to do a factory install on it because I had a lot of extra things that I don't want anymore, I installed and I thought what a factory restore would be better.  I went to the HP Recovery Manager and no where in the choices he said 'factory restore '.  He used to have this option in the HP recovery environment.  I checked all the options and nothing on the factory restore.  I made a set of recovery discs, but I always remember that HP still had the opportunity to do a factory restore.  I have tried F11 and F8 and no luck.

  Answers or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

• For Satellite C660 factory restore

  I installed windows 7 pro on my laptop which made my longer laptop for start and stop time down and little slow. now I just want to go back to the factory restore, how can I do this. the pre-installed recovery partition is not show in "my computer".

  Thank you very much

  You cannot start after installation of operating system HARD drive recovery clean facility more.
  You can do this via recovery DVD only.

  Did you create this disc by following the advice of Toshibas rappelling recovery or document s user manual?

  If you have this drive please use it for recovery image installation. If you n t have it you have a big problem today.

• Satellite A660 Factory Restore problems

  I have a Satellite A660 Ref. PSAW3A-14V062 delivered pre-installed with Win 7 not provided, but a hidden partition with disk recovery files.

  Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors. Removed the HD and connected to another computer.

  Using Acronis Disk Director, I copied the hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) to another drive and then formatted the drive and copied the partition hidden in it and reinstalled to the laptop.
  Downloaded an ISO image and tried to install it from DVD but received the message that windows cannot be installed on the HARD disk that the drive is about to fail.

  Bought new HARD drive and copied the partition hidden for her.
  I then tried to install from the DVD, but kept getting errors about unable to find files, after ISO more several downloads and burn 5 different DVD the furthest I got was the screen where it is "files", this remains at 0% and nothing else.

  I then tried a factory restore using the "hold 0 during startup", but when I took out the key pressed 0 when the Toshiba start screen showed that nothing happened.

  There was a small Partition 'System' on the original HARD drive I have has not copied. I have a few questions.

  (1) the "System" partition did not the files needed to start the factory restore and if so is there anywhere I can download these files?

  (2) probably a topic for another thread, but no clue as to why I have so many problems with ISO files.

  Cheers and sorry for the long-winded explanation.

  The installation of any recovery is quite complicated. It is designed to avoid a kind of manipulation so original recovery image can be installed either using recovery DVDs or HARD disk recovery facility which must be created with Toshiba recovery disc creator tool.

  To be honest, the whole story is complicated enough, but what confuses me, is
  > Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors
  If I understand you right, you have created a drive recovery, right? What exactly happens?
  You can use this drive with new HARD drive?

  This method with files recovery to cope with the new HARD drive does not work. You will not be able to access and begin HARD recovery disk image installation.

  If you have a new HDD only how to install the original Toshiba recovery image is to use the recovery DVD disc.

• Can I update the image of factory restore?

  Hi all

  I recently had the pleasure to make a 'factory restore' on a M100 and an A300.

  While the process went smoothly (even if the A300 recovery disk creator should not be put back first to make it work), data that has been restored were, of course, obsolete because he didn't understand not updates either the operating system (Vista Home Basic) or to one of the Toshiba Software (including drivers and tools utility).

  I know that you can return the system to Toshiba for a new image of the HARD drive by them (at great cost), but I don't know if that provides a picture of 'update' or if she simply replaces the original image (obsolete).

  Is it possible the 'factory restore' image stored on the recovery partition can be updated and a user, or a technician of the 'non-Toshiba"without having recourse to external software such as Acronis?

  Thanks in advance for all advice offered.

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you can update the image of factory restore t. Settings (Windows, driver, etc.) are stored in an image that can t be changed or updated because these settings are pre-tested on your laptop computer and any change would be not compatible. In addition, I think that Windows updates are made with two or three clicks, you need just to a good internet connection. Alternative, you install Microsoft's latest Service Pack which contains many important updates ;)

  By the way: I made my own image using Acronis image. After the installation of recovery disk Toshiba I removed all applications that I n t need (ConfigFree for example), installed the Windows updates and my other apps that I need (Skype, Office, etc.). After that, I tested the laptop a bit and finally and especially that I created an image with Acronis. So I can restore my own settings every time too. ;)

• On Satellite A105 - S2131 factory restore

  I have a series of Toshiba Satellite A105 - S2131. I'm in the need to do a factory restore, but I don't have a restore disc, because I never saw when I got the computer, and when I tried to create a floppy disk to the computer that it does, I get an error that says in cannot find the file to create the disc. Now I don't know what I can do to make the factory restore.

  Any help would be great.

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me, there is a clear situation you need to order the new recovery media by the nearest authorized service provider.
  But you have another way to get own laptop preinstalled, use CD original Microsoft facilities. All the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba support site.

• K1 "unrecoverable error bootloader (0 x 19000008) after the factory restore".

  «Erase Userdata...»

  Boot loader fatal error (0 x 19000008)

  He sat there for a while. I tried to hold the power button, but nothing. This tablet has been updated to the latest version, it has not rooted or anything else. Just completely factory & updated. The problems I had when I decided to restore it was running mostly just super slow. Took forever to get the apps to arrive on the screen & such things. Thought I just having too much junk previously installed on it, so I tried to restore it & start over. Bad idea! Any idea? My 2 weeks im slammed all day every day & cant slow to call assistance & wait always hold to try & fix it (assuming that they can even repair). Would be delighted to hear that its an easy fix but I'm sure used to be the case. I bought it back in November 2011, so its only 6 months old.

• Satellite A500 - factory restore

  Hiya

  I was wondering if someone can help me.

  I had no end of problems with my laptop with one thing and another, and for these last months, I had a problem with my windows install. I can not install, download or update anything because it says that there is an error with the installation program. I tried various things to try and fix this, but think that the only thing for me to do now is to do a factory restore.

  The problem is its asking me a password that I don't have. Is there a way to get around this?

  Thank you very much

  PS - or maybe someone can suggest a way to fix the installer: o)

  If you use the Windows login password, use the same. If not, put your account without password name and click Next.

  After seeing that I wasn't getting updated and no could not remove all the accounts on my CLIQ, I did a factory restore and tried to sign in with my existing MOTOBLUR account. An error message pops up saying that the session has expired or the password is incorrect.

  The password cannot be wrong, because I can access my account online. The message appears whenever I'm trying to connect. I use only a wifi connection.
  What should I do?

  To sign in blur, you will need to use 3G or wifi. You said you use wifi, make sure that the wifi icon is on the notification bar. If this is not the case, press menu and you can set it here when you register in blur of installation. If you still can not sign trying to join a 3G area, and then try again. The time-out error is saying that you don't send fast enough information on the server of blur. Password error appears but is not always the problem. If you arrive at sign always used the password and then follow the instructions to reset, then try again. Make sure that you use an e-mail address that you will be able to receive mail from.

• Problems with the 64-bit on Pavilion a6620f Vista Factory restore

  I had a hard drive failure and restoration on a new hard drive. The original HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 model ST 3500620AS. The new HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 model ST 3500641AS - RK. I bought a set of restore for this HP computer disks.

  First problem was that disk 1 does not start from the internal CD/DVD drive. My Seagate drive boots fine on the same drive! I used an external USB CD/DVD drive and restore disks worked well on that. I went through the process of factory restore and in the end, I get an error message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on this computer hardware." I tried to change the BIOS setting from ACHI and IDE to SATA RAID with no luck. I tried to unplug the USB CD drive before the first reboot. That no longer works.  I unplugged the internal CD drive and tried different combinations with no luck. Need help I have run out of things to try! Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

  Hello:

  I don't know how you can get your recovery discs to work.

  Looks like you have tried everything.

  I had problems with mine too and got the same error on a HP Elite 8200 desktop computer business

  It was the first time I've ever had a problem with recovery disks.  It's very frustrating.

  I have a workaround if all goes well, you can use to get Vista on your PC...

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.
