Cannot use recovery discs

• HP mini 110 cannot use recovery discs - BIOS insists the hard drive test failed. Drive works on another computer.

  My niece has a HP mini 110 that does not have a day. Do a check of the hard drive in the bios, it failed (7 on playback). I though I should get a new one so I ordered another. While waiting for that to happen, I had access to a usb SATA bridge and the opperating system was beyond repair and the unreadable disk from HP mini, I decided to try to repair the disk. So I reformatted the old disk using my desktop computer. Windows had no problem with the drive and it seems to work very well.

  I also had to order the recovery disks (intro to windows 7).

  In any case try to reinstall using the recovery via the DVD USB drive disks. It kept coming back with error 17 - I found a hard drive error. I also tried to install with a Windows XP installation disc and it was more explicit hard drive it said it had NOT installed it - or "it does not match the sheet material for unity" (or words to that effect)

  To get the new hard drive - the same problem. Even if both of these drives operate as USB connected to my main desktop drives. SO my conclusion is that the BIOS start inspect the hard drive, check the configuration of the formatting. that is the size and the partitions etc. and when they do not correspond to the idea of BIOS of good care he rejects the hard drive and finds it is not installed.  Or maybe to do some files on the hard drive of base. Whatever it is, the bios concludes that there is no hard drive and will always return a "failed" to the hard drive of the bios test.

  Any ideas on that? I need to know exactly which partitions are expected by the bios. Does anyone have these specs, or maybe you have a mini HP and can examine your hard disk and tell me the amounts of partition and the size?

  Unless I can get the bios to recognize the hard drive, I don't see how I can reinstall the operating system on it. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  HI David

  Well, I hope this is my last post here. I had already printed a return address for the recovery disks, being returned to the Netherlands. Just for the beggar of cast iron, however, I decided to try just once more would like to think that now that there is a kind of operating system on the hard drive it might work. But unfortunately still; no joy.

  All this time I would be considered may not be something wrong with the external hard drive because it was no problem to start the installation of XP. So I was just wondering maybe it does not receive enough power (it is a slimline portable DVD player that gets its power from a second usb) so I made a DVD player external adhock using an IDE hard drive enclosure (which has its own power supply and an old internal DVD burner I had put aside.

  To my surprise and joy; the HP mini started the recovery process. I am now watching reformat the windows partition and copy the files needed to restore the hard disk.

  So anyone with a similar problem to the HP mini not recognize the recovery disks is my advice; try an another external DVD drive, preferably one with its own supply of.

  Thanks for all your help and patience David.

• replacement hard drive and using recovery discs made by myself.

  HPdv6 mobile 2119tx. After replacing hard drive and loading the recovery discs (which I did) successfully, now it reboot something messages cannot locate the disc or load bootable disc (sorry, don't remember the exact wording, but back to the beginning). Could this be because I replaced a 650 GB drive with a 500 GB drive.

  Hello:

  Normally you cannot use recovery on a smaller hard disks.

  But you should be able to boot from the first disc of recovery at least and see what happens.

  To do this, you must have the first disc in your dvd player.

  Restart the PC and at the beginning of your homescreen HP, tap key ESC then choose one time start in the menu.  Since then, select the DVD drive and continue.

  If the ESC key method does not work, press the F9 key instead.

  It depends on the type of BIOS in your PC (normally according to his age) which key you need to type.

  I forgot my PIN for my iPhone and cannot use recovery mode because my sleep button is blocked. A certain predicamnet ik

  Only thing you can do is to let die and then hold the home button when you plug it into your computer to put it in recovery mode.

  Actually if the phone is on and that you have an icloud account, you can delete it at distance of icloud.com

  Go to find my iphone and erase the phone.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

  It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

  FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
  I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
  I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
  I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
  I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
  I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
  I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

  If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

  In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

  Hello buddy

  It is badly located now. Please try to do it once more.
  If the same thing happen there is nothing you can do. I'm not an expert for this kind of thing, but I noticed the image recovery recovery DVD will be copied to the HARD second partition disk) first and then the installation of recovery will go from there.

  If the adaptation procedure is not done on the recovery of end procedure cannot be started.
  Sorry buddy. In my opinion, you can try to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation. Take the DVD created as evidence and maybe they will order new media for free.

  Good luck!

• How do I create using recovery disc installed Vista - Satellite L300-190

  Can u please help me.
  If I had the factory installed default windows vista, then how to create the recovery disk and can also create usb recovery drive, while I was able to boot my system with usb?

  And also if I m even have another model of machine, then I can use the recovery disk in the other machine with the same model and OS. ???
  as for now, I have two same machines toshiba Satellite L300-190 model.

  Waiting for your response.

  I think that this has been discussed much time here in the forum.

  You can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator!
  This tool must be preinstalled on your laptop if the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.

  You can also try to restore the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.
  You must press the F8 key during switching on laptop and I then have to choose the option called fix my computer. Then new window should open, and you could choose the Toshiba recovery.

  If you cannot use the two procedures (disk recovery HARD and Toshibas recovery disk) then you can order the new CD from here:

• Cannot use Recovery CD XP for Satellite M70 168

  Hello

  I can't install XP Home with Toshiba Recovery CD for my m70-168.
  I did two years ago, but now it is impossible.

  I followed the instructions of the user manual. Initially, the system displays the loaded modules followed by a recovery utility menu
  There are 3 options 1-Normal 2 - custom installation - 9 altogether. But it is impossible to select one of them.
  CTRL-Alt-Del works only, then windows starts normally. Since the last restoration, memory has been upgrded to 2 GB.

  I have the same problem using my restore CD backup copy.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  Hmm sounds really weird I mean if the copy of the recovery disk is not working too, I doubt that this could be a problem of recovery disk. But nothing is impossible
  Are you sure that your HARD drive is completely OK?

  Have you tried to install Win XP using the Microsoft CD clean Windows XP?
  Maybe you should check to ensure that the problem is not related to floppy disks to install.

  Return to your recovery disk; As far as I know it of not possible to order a new recovery disk because this laptop model is discontinued
  So you will need to use a disc of Microsoft

  What is the cause. Is that it has nothing to do with the MBR?
  I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!

  Thank you all,.

  Hello

  In my opinion, the case is clear. If you install the laptop with a normal installation of Microsoft disk and the HARD disk works fine in another computer it something wrong with the Toshiba Recovery disk, maybe it s scratched.

  What you can do is to install the laptop using the disc of Microsoft. Then download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

  Alternative order you a new drive for recovery of an authorized service provider.

  It of your choice what you do. ;)

  Hello

  If you cannot use this contact Arvato to order it, explain the situation and ask if you can get a new one. I can't say for sure what the problem is, but I can imagine that this recovery disk is troublemaker.

  What else can be? HARD DRIVE? I don t think so.

• Satellite 1800-400: CD Rom is not working / can't use recovery discs

  Hello

  I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

  Thank you

  Hugues.

  Hi Hugh,.

  When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

  If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

• System Restore Win7 without success using recovery discs

  I have a Vaio VPCCW23FX under Windows 7 Home Premium. My original hard drive Vaio is dying (after a little more than 2 years). I tried to create recovery discs from my laptop, but that the process has failed. Sony support said that my recovery partition must have gotten corrupted and I need to buy the discs at home. Very well, I did. I also bought a new Western Digital 1 TB portable hard drive (same cache size and speed as the drive in the laptop, just more storage space). I WAS able to create a disc Image system to my laptop, even if I couldn't create recovery discs.

  The new hard drive installation was quick and easy and I had no problem. The process of recovery has been unsuccessful to date, however. It seems TO be going smoothly and successfully and run all 4 disks and nine copied files on the hard drive. I get to the end and it is said to remove the disk and restart the computer to complete the installation.

  As it is start I see some messages that look like this market (including the update of the register, installation of devices). Then at the bottom it says: 'The Installer applies system settings' and an error message box is displayed. It is said: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer." The only option is to click OK, how the computer restarts.

  When the computer restarts after this error message, the same things happen but I get a new error message: "Windows cannot complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, run the Setup again. "Again, the only option is to click OK, that makes the computer to restart, which makes this error message displayed, etc.

  I can hit F8 as soon as the VAIO appears logo and a menu of Windows recovery. I can boot into safe mode, I can choose to go in recovery mode, I can even get to a command prompt and see what is on the drive.

  There is a good bit of information on the disc (about 20 GB or more, if I remember correctly). Based on the directories that are here, it SEEMS like Windows is there and should work... but it doesn't and it won't tell me why.

  I can run the Startup Repair, and he tells me that it can not detect a problem. She even said, "State the start indicates that the OS booted successfully."

  I tried to put in the System Image disc I created, but the Startup Repair and recovery system do not seem to recognize it.

  I have screenshots of the various messages and info from the command prompt. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Again, what are the recovery discs for Windows 7 that I ordered directly from Sony, own my laptop model, and the only difference in the computer, it is that I bought a 1 TB drive to replace the dying 500 GB drive.

  Thank you in advance.

• using recovery discs

  I have a compaq S3100AN computer that I got from a friend. I formatted the hard drive and I want to use the recovery discs, he did to restore the system.  When I get to the second disc, it stops at APP\i386\APP31322.exe and runs over and over again trying to get the file. After a few minutes it will say abandoned or stop or something similar.

  I did once and managad to continue with other drives up to the arrival, but when I tried to restart the computer, it says it could not find the operating system and would not start.  I tried again with the same result but this time I can't go beyond disk 2 and it works for a while before getting an abortion without continuing on request. When he finally to have an abortion, it has two options, yes or no.  Which one should I click to bypass this file and continue on?

  Then towards the end of disk 5 or 6 it says error2: \preload\windows w32 missing and later, it says error 2:\C:\windows\cache\mbr.dll missing.  Maybe that's why it wouldn't start when it ended.  These are on CD - R discs, so I can't change all the files or change them, do you have any idea what I can do about it.

  I just install windows home edition from a cd of windows but it does not install the compaq drivers and, even if it starts successfully, if I restart it will lose all the necessary drivers for the video card and network etc, so that it operated on 16 colors and does not connect to the internet.

  Any help would be appreciated, thank you, Allan

  Allen,

  Just follow what Paul said of the to do and everything should be OK.

  If you still want to try the recovery disks, make sure that they are free of scratches, grease and finger prints. Who can help solve the difficulties of the disc to these problem spots. (Not recommended, but I found that using a very soft automotive polishing compound that is approved for use on plastic/plexiglas works well to clean a CD or DVD)
