Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

Hello

I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

Any help much appreciated

I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

  • Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

    Hello.

    I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

    I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

    First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

    So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

    (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

    So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

    So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

    Please, please help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

    Here's my explanation of how it works:
    Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

    As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
    -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

    HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

    Your questions:
    > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
    > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
    > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
    > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
    If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

    > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
    I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
    > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
    Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

    Follow these steps:
    -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
    -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
    -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
    -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
    -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
    This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

    Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

  • Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C660

    Hello
    I tried to restore a Satellite C660 factory settings because it be extremely slow to start.

    Using the original Toshiba recovery disks the process gets to half way through and then gives the following messages...

    Error restoring image
    The device is not ready

    ERROR: ImageX could not be Win7 V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\15489XSP.swm Index 2 HARD C: drive!

    If someone can advise?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately there is no workaround to force the recovery image installation runs correctly.
    All you can do right now is to set the BIOS to default settings and use the drive recovery again.
    Make sure that the disc is clean.

    Do you use the recovery disc for the first time?

  • Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C650D

    Hello

    I have a C650D who fell just out of warranty and died on me. I did the recovery discs to purchase then thought that it would be a simple matter to use and I would be able to use the laptop again... seems I was mistaken :(

    I tried the F8 key at startup to option and all I get is the following message is displayed:
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    I inserted the recovery disk and after an amount of noise from the hard drive and windows message takes over the files then I got a box asking me to choose the language I wanted, followed by an error message that there is something missing... I don't have the time to write down full seizure quit on me. After trying to load (incase there was something wrong with the first attempt) get the windows loading page then nothing...

    Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this please?

    Thanks in advance

    > No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.
    I fear this message has something to do with Mr. HARD disk HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?

    If so, the value please BIOS to the default settings and use recovery DVD again.

    By the way: you can see the language option, but you can not choose another language than the original language, you got with your laptop. In other words if you have BONES of the Spain, you can't choose another language. You have only BONE on the Spain.

  • Re: Cannot install recovery image on my Satellite L655

    Hey...

    Well, I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 windows 7 64-bit something when wrong with my hdd.and I try to restore to restore it to the factory... in the middle of the process, it didn't... and now I can't seem to start back... and I do not have a recovery dvd...

    I managed to get the partation files to recover, but it extracted, I do not think that all files add up to about 10 GB...
    These are the files
    BIN
    BOOT
    IMAGES_BOOT
    PLANFOLDER
    SOURCES
    ZZIMAGES
    ! V6_00_03.VRP
    BOOTMGR
    DATA. INI
    EDITAF. BAT
    PLANDATA. INI

    Therefore, because of this im changing the hard drive.
    so my question is can I make a disk bootable recovery of these files or to restore the system some how with these files?

    I will use that help and thanks in advance!

    > so my question is can I make a disk bootable recovery of these files or to restore the system some how with these files?
    Unfortunately not. It is now too late. Bootable recovery disk can be created with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I m wondering really you didn't he create in the past.

    Now, you have two options: either you use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc, you must order the new recovery DVDs.

    Hello. I have problems of replacement of a failed hard drive in my HP Pavilion dv7-6154nr notebook running Windows 7. New HARD drive seems to install OK, but I get a Windows Boot Manager error when I try to run the recovery disks created when the system was purchased. The message says "the boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible" "status: Oxc000000f.

  • Cannot depend on VM after upgrade hard drives

    I stop my VM to install two new hard drives for the RAID. After that I added the and expanded storage in VMware, I couldn't turn the VM on because it gives me the following error:

    Unable to start the virtual machine.

    Has no power on the virtual machine.

    Could not power on VM: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NO_SPACE.

    The current swap file size is 0 KB.

    The current swap file size is 0 KB.

    Cannot extend from 0 KB to 16777216 KB pagefile.

    I tried to change the location of the swap file, but it did not work. I could really use some help with this. Thank you!

    After the screenshot there are only a few hundred MB of disk space on the data store, i.e. you expanded virtual disk of the virtual machine for almost the maximum size available!

    Once a virtual computer is powered on some additional files are created that consume little disk space. The largest is the pagefile with - default - the size of the memory put into service. However, if you want / need this swap file you can set a reserve of memory for the virtual machine, which will reduce the size of paging file (swap file = provisioned, reserve memory size).

  • How to wear the Vista/Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 software after upgrade HARD drive

    Hello.

    Have ordered a Seagate Momentus 7200.02 200 GB SATA-300 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 "for my Satellite Pro A200GE - 26. Toshiba slow disk with this laptop ships is simply not fast enough so it is replaced.

    My question is this: can I use the recovery disc of the DVD came with my laptop to reinstall Vista and all the Toshiba drivers on this new album?

    If this is not the case-how can I do?

    If I can do it - could you give me a checklist of things to do?
    Are several factors I need to get used to exist on the recovery disk?

    I ask this because I know how to do this on a PC with the Original OS disc, but I was horrified when my laptop has been delivered and no original OS disk - I think it's very bad for any help would be accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you in advance,

    Kenny.

    Hello

    You should not worry about the whole procedure, just install the HARD drive, put the recovery CD in your CD/DVD drive, press F12 and start with your CD drive or just press 'C' (which automatically inserted CD, boots).

    The recovery is not limited to a specific HARD disk, it automatically adjusts the size of the partition and install EVERTHING on your disk as a preinstalled OS shipped directly from the factory. Don t you need some additional drivers or software, the only thing you need to do is to copy your personal data on the system drive and customize your windows.

    It is the intention of recovery media: put it in and it does everything by itself.

    That's all. :)

    See you soon

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    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.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

    I have a problem to restore my laptop.
    My hard drive is not working, I do not have the recovery disks, but I managed to save the HDD Recovery folder in a partition of DATA.

    Once installed the new hard drive, it is possible to recover my original without the cd, but with a pen drive usb installation?

    > Once installed the new hard drive, it is possible to recover my original without the cd, but with a pen drive usb 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.

    If you n t have it you can order a new one.
