• Satellite C650, media recovery fails after replacing HARD drive

  I have a 3 years C650, and the HARD drive has failed. I got a replacement drive and sorts to recover from the recovery media disks that I created and although he claimed to have re - partition the drive and reinstalled windows, windows startup fails when tried to configure the devices "could not configure windows to run on this hardware.

  After this error, the boot sequence goes into an endless loop, asking to start the installation procedure.

  Thinking that my records may have been corrupted, I ordered a set of Toshiba recovery disks. Once again, these go through the recovery process and still once, Windows startup does not exactly in the same place.

  A little annoying to have spent £30 for nothing.

  I have a picture of Windows system on my external HARD drive, but I can't get the machine to a point where it will actually start so I can recover from that.

  Any suggestions on how to proceed is welcome!

  Thank you
  Martin

  Hello

  Of course, this isn't a problem of recovery disk.
  I guess there is a problem with the HARD drive but I n t think that the HARD drive has failed I think there is a problem of setting

  First, you should go to BIOS and check if the SATA set to AHCI.
  Then you should also format the HARD drive again.

  I recommend to use the freeware tool called GParted. You could create a live USB stick bootable flash memory which will allow you to start the unit and start GParted tool.
  Format the HARD drive, and then create a partition.

  After that, take the recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.
  Good luck

• Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

  Hello

  After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

  After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

  Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

  Hello

  Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
  If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
  If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

  But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
  Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

  The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
  Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
  If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

• need recovery osx, after replacing hard drive

  replaced the hard drive in our mid 2009 Macbook pro.   Bustbuy said we have just led connect our external hard drive that we used with time machine, but mac is not initialized.  We have a disc of snow leopard, but were running mountain lion. can we reboot with snow lepard floppy then redownload mountain lion or will be this goof things up?

  Your Mac is too old to use the Internet version of recovery and steady recovery was on the disk that you took.

  You will need to install your drive 10.6 snow leopard, upgrade with software update until you run 10.6.8 and only THEN the Mac App Store will appear and you can re - download and re - install any system (10.7 or higher) you are running. Your 'Purchases' page allows you to download again.

  --------

  I would just add that they are SCUM does not start the installation for you in the store when it would be very easy for you and get you through these hoops. The Apple Store generally won't do that - they will make sure that you got your re - install before you leave the store, except if you decided not to do it here. And the Apple Store Wi - Fi is really fast and downloads are buffered on the computer store in the back.

  Hello.

  Installed a new hard drive. How to install an operating system?

  I thank.

  Hello

  You have a Toshiba Recovery disk?
  If so, then start on this disc.
  The installation process should start automatically and you must follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you n t have such recovery disc, then you will need to use a Microsoft Windows disk in order to install the operating system.

  Satellite 5205-S505 is a series of laptop Toshiba us and old drivers can be found on the Toshiba U.S. driver page:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

  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.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• Recovery value creation after replacing hard drive

  I am running Windows 7 on a laptop Pavilion. I have a recovery of the value that I created a few years before on the DVD-r. In the meantime, I had my hard drive (and then my processor) replaced under warranty. Do I need to recreate a set of recovery, or the existing set will work?

  Hello

  As long as the motherboard has not changed, your existing recovery disc set should work fine.

  Kind regards

• Reinstall Windows XP after replacing hard drive

  I had to replace the hard drive on my Lenovo 3000 n200 laptop. The old drive was unusable and recover nothing from him. I have backups of all the files and folders to an external drive, but this does not have to reinstall XP Pro on the new hard drive. No CD of the operating system that is not supplied with the laptop. I'm trying to reinstall using the original disc I386 folder but WINNT32 ends without any indication of the reasons why after asking for a key product and running for a short period. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  oldrah

  Has received recovery disks (2 discs) and ran the recovery process. Win XP installed and Setup took place, but lacked 9 pilots. A call to Lenovo support has led to a very nice lady to help me to track down and install the missing drivers. In order to facilitate its work, I enabled him to use a remote access facility to support my laptop and do what was necessary to install the drivers. Later, I've updated Windows for common maintenance and has started to re - install some software that had been on the laptop. Everything on the laptop is roughly back to where it was before the hard drive is dead, or better. Quite a learning experience.
