• Cannot start Recovery on my Satellite A200-1N5

  I need help please

  I can't do the recovery of my Satellite A200-1N5.
  When the recovery DVDs starts is a message says that windows couldn't start .a recent hardware or software change might be the cause (and then I followed the instructions but no change coming)

  Best regards

  Thank you.

  Hello

  In my opinion recovery didn't start at all. Please, start your laptop and press the F12 key. Keep it down for a few seconds and the start menu appears. Choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  If all goes well you'll hear running the CD/DVD drive and the activity on the screen.

• I reformatted my T520 with the recovery disk, but Windows cannot start

  I reformatted my T520 with my recovery disk. When the computer restarts, it says that Windows cannot start properly. Help, please.

  I finally solved the problem; Here is my solution:

  I have determined that the backup image has been bad, and this is perhaps why the recovery disks have been as bad. I tried to use both to reformat the C:\drive several times without success. Fortunately, I had a Windows 7 disc from another computer that I no longer use. However, the T520 would not be updated to Windows 7 using this disk, so I run Diskpart to reformat all (this removes everything, including the image.) Then, I was able to reinstall Windows 7.

  With this new facility, would not any responsible drivers, including LAN and wireless drivers. I went on the Lenovo Web site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?selector=expand to download the driver for "Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg). This provided wireless access to the computer. (Downloaded the driver on another computer, saved on a USB stick to transfer to the T520.) Restarted the computer in case where. Then, I went to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE to download ThinkVantage System Update 5.0. After you have installed this software and reboot, all the necessary drivers would be so loaded.

  Unfortunately, if you don't have any Windows disk, you will need to pay 50 dollars to get one from Lenovo. Lesson learned? Next time I buy a new computer, the first thing I would do is to reformat and reload the computer by using the image while still under warranty. I did several times with my other Lenovo laptops without fail. I have to do this once every 3 years each time my computer seems to slow down. This is the first time, it didn't work.

  I hope this help anyone who is in the same situation.

• HP media center m470n cannot start the recovery. F10 no work. HP pc system recovery isn't in the menus.

  This m470n was seriously infected by malicious software.  After disinfection with MSE and ClamWin, works very well, but I would like to do a system recovery.  The fact recovery partition exists.  But the F10 at startup does not receive me at the recovery, nor is he a "HP PC System Recovery" entry in the tree of programs on the Start Menu.  (I tried another function key I can get to the BIOS OK menu.)  Is there another way to start Recovery?  What is the name and the path of the exe that runs 'HP PC System Recovery?'  Thank you for any advice you can give on this old machine, but still very useful!

  Thanks for another excellent suggestion!  Use the Partition Wizard bootable CD, I see two partitions.

  One is named HP_RECOVERY, FAT, about 6 GB, and it is the active partition.

  The other partition is in anonymous form, NTFS, about 145GB.

  I wasn't expecting to see the active recovery partition.  I guess that explains why the Windows computer management disk management Panel did not have the option Mark as active, because it was already active.

  The c:\windows\sminst directory is missing, probably because the damage malware cleaning.

  CherylG, you have been very helpful!  I don't want to take your attention to other people's questions, and the option of replacement drives $27 is a simple solution, so unless you're really intrigued by this weird problem, we can close.  Thanks again!

• Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

  Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

  No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

  This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

  I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

  Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

  Any help is very appreciated!

  Thank you.

  If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
  I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

  The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
  In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
  + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
  + Gets severely damaged.

  However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
  In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
  Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

  If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
  To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

  I hope I could help you.

• Vista cannot start because of accidentally deleted system files

  Hello

  my laptop was working very well until some files were accidentally deleted and now Vista cannot start.
  There is a message saying that I need to contact the system administrator or the manufacturer of the pc.

  Is there anything you could recommend?
  I would appreciate if you could help me find a way to record all of the information contained in hard drives.

  see you soon

  If you are not able to boot up the laptop and refuse it to Vista to start then take recovery in hand, insert it and start on this CD from Toshiba.

  Then the cell phone should boot from the recovery CD and reinstall the whole OS again.
  This should help, but the HARD drive will be formatted.

  Hello

  You can download the Setup from the Microsoft page of WIindows disk:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310994/

  Then you could install the Microsoft recovery console that helps you use the commands * Fixmbr and Fixboot * to fix the Boot Manager:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307654/

  I think this should help other rational use the Live like BartPe or WinPE disc to boot up the laptop.

• Satellite A660-158 - cannot start Windows

  Toshiba Satellite A660-158

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A660-158. It has served me less than a week. I think it's the broken hard drive.

  My problem:
  Once I start the computer, it started and has worked for a while, but suddenly, there was an error reading that I didn't have the time. Computer has been restarted. And does not load... Until the boot mode does not reach. But the initial test (with logo) succeeded. Takes a long time and finally gives an error:
  -----
  Cannot start Windows. Maybe it was because of the recent small difference is the hardware or software configuration. To fix this error:
  1. Insert your Windows installation disc, restart the computer (the complete transmission wasn't)
  2. choose the language settings, and then click Next.
  3. Select "repair your computer".
  If this disk is missing, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer (he turned and said to wear to the DEPOT, but I do not have this feature).

  Status: 0xc000000e

  Details: Unable to start menu, since the required device is inaccessible.

  Hey,.

  And why do you think the hard drive is faulty?
  Have you ever tried the repair your computer option? Usually with this option you can restore factory in a few minutes.

  Also if you have the Toshiba recovery disc you can also restore the factory of this disc. Just boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. You need to do a few clicks only, installation with all the drivers and tools happen automatically.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

• Satellite L300 - 16L: bootmgr image is corrupt. the system cannot start

  Bootmgr image is corrupt. the system cannot start

  Why is this?

  Have we lost all files etc on the laptop?

  Its a Toshiba L300 - 16L 'versatile Base '.

  Any help would be great - thanks

  Wayne

  Well, the system on the HARD drive seems to be corrupted.
  Who knows why, but it happens sometimes, it s nothing unusual and, therefore, it s always recommended to backup the data always

  The files are not lost, but you are not able to start the unit.

  What you can do?
  Well, you can grab the laptop again.
  By using the HARD drive recovery option (press F8, repair my computer, drive HARD recovery) or by using the recovery disk

  But this will format the HARD drive and you will lose data.
  If you want to get access to the data, I recommend booting of live CD WinPE and BartPE.

• Satellite L40 - cannot start Windows

  Hello

  hope you can help, my computer Toshibal L40 laptop on commissioning began by displaying the following error message:

  * "Cannot start Windows. a recent change in the software hardware might be causing... » *

  It offers the possibility of:
  "* Launch Startup Repair option" * "

  I chose this. WIndows seems to load up, but then I get the following error message:

  Installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer *.

  I lost the recovery disk, but attempted to load the recovery console by using a windows XP disk, but it gave me error message more. Advice would be very welcome.

  For the installation of Vista you don't need SATA driver but for Windows XP Home edition you need. Is no problem at all.

  The question is what you want to do now? If you want to use Vista just use recovery media and you will have factory again.
  No problem at all.

• Satellite M30: Windows cannot start because a file is missing

  Error message: Windows cannot start because a file is missing.
  \Windows\system32\config\system

  You can repair from ordinary cd and use "r" for repair.

  How to use recovery cd for this... It does not work.

  Hello

  It's not easy to use the repair mode because the recovery image file CD. The other way is that you try to start the operating system is the safe mode and look if the lack of files exist in the C:\I386 folder. If not, well I think that the only way is to recover the system with the recovery CD.

  Good bye
