Equium L300 - bootable media fails

I have an Equium L300 Windows Vista 32-bit.

I turned on my laptop this morning to find that it wouldn't start.
After doing the recovery DVDs I've inserted into the laptop and asked format etc.

However, when he got up to a certain point in the process of "HDDPREP" the process fails due to the error: "Data error - Error creating file" now I can't start my laptop always like "BOOTMGR IS MISSING".

I need the laptop as I m a student and use for College. I can t use recovery integrated on my HARD drive. The laptop is still under warranty but don't want to have to go to the place I bought the system because they are a pain in the *. I just want to know, can I get the SUPPORT of ORIGIN without the warranty is less than 1 year. That way or maybe some other way to do it.

Thank you.

Hello

I'm afraid that there is a problem with the HARD drive. HDDPREP formatted the HARD drive before the start of the recovery image facilities. Why this error occurs I can't say with certainty, but is not visible HDD inside the facilities or is there a problem with the comparison of data recovery and HARD drive.

When the data structure is different, it can end with CRC error.

Please contact the nearest service provider as soon as possible. I imagine that you will get a new HARD drive.

Good bye

    Hey Omegauk,

    Can you please tell us which version of Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), you installed this Equium L300 model you have exactly?

    In your case, I'll try a different driver. Currently for Equium L300 no webcam Windows 7 driver available but for similar L300 Satellite you will already find a webcam driver. You should try this one and post your result. Maybe it will work. :)

    Hello

    Usually, you should be able to access the BIOS by pressing F2 when starting the unit.
    I can't say for sure, but it seems to me like a serious equipment malfunction if you are not able to access the BIOS.
    Such a material problem serious may be related to motherboard problems, but also modules of memory RAM.

    In case you are able to access the BIOS, check if the HARD drive is still visible on the first page of the BIOS.
    If the disk HARD isn't visible, then the laptop cannot find a bootable device and therefore no error checking media is displayed.

  • Pavilion dv6: create recovery disk media fails

    The disk is failing - takes forever to start and the PC hangs when I try to access it using Explorer. I have another drive, removed the PC drive and mounted in a USB SATA disk drive.

    I can see the recovery partition, there look OK, contains a lot of files, among them a 22Gig. A file 'bootmgr' in the root and a startup directory, especially of the WIM file.

    Can I use this partition to create a bootable USB drive that can recover my OS on this new hard drive?

    I know that I can buy a recovery kit, but if I use it, I'll save some money and the day 6-10 wait as the press kit...

    Waiting with hope in my eyes

    Kind regards

    Here's a way you can reinstall W7 by using the product key of W7 25 characters on the bottom of your PC case.

    Make your own plain W7 x 64 installation media.

    Here is the link to the download site of Microsoft for the W7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 ISO file.

    http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209. ISO Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 English

    Make sure you get all the 3. XX GB of the file to download.  Sometimes it reports 'Download complete', but you do not have the entire file.

    Burn the file on a DVD using the option of the program of your burner burn DVD file ISO then the DVD is bootable.

    Or you can use this tool to transfer the ISO to a flash USB 4 GB or DVD drive.  The tool also performs the bootable media.

    Then install the drivers and software available that you need your PC support and driver page.

  • How to upgrade the Equium L300 - 17Q to make it better

    I recently got an Equium L300 17 Q.
    What improvements could do for that laptop work the best it can.

    What is the more memory (live RAM) can I put in it?

    Also, what is a good graphics card I could use because I love the game!

    Please answer as soon as possible
    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can't spend a lot of things.
    What you can do is upgrade the memory and the HARD drive. But as much HARD drive will not improve the performance of laptop computers, but only the HARD drive space.

    The RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB.

    The GPU (graphics card) can not be upgraded, because it fixed s (welded) on the motherboard.

    Best regards

  • Force wireless on Equium L300 - 17Q issue

    Since late 2008, I have this Equium L300 BRAND / 17Q. Since my laptop wireless resistance lower then any other pc. I'm even so close to the wireless router, but it is still 3-4 bars.
    I'm the only person at home using modem router
    My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, installed license. All drivers up to date.

    Also why Toshiba does not provide any what BIOS more updated for this model.
    The latest version of the bios dated 2008, another way 3 years ago.
    Is the authorized Toshiba read these forums?

    They need develop a newer bios.

    If there is no reason why offer the new BIOS? Do you really think THAT BIOS is a magic bullet for every hardware problem?

    The old model works well with Vista and Win7 perfectly. A few months ago, I installed Win7 32 bit on friends L300. No problem at all. One thing was embarrassing for me, and it's HARD drive.

    OK I've updated HARD drive with more capacity and it was pretty hot so I put aluminum foil in order to reduce the temperature on the plastic cover.

    We tested the WLAN functionality also and everything was OK. If you use the WLAN without problem I think there is no reason to panic. Have you checked all the WLAN settings on your laptop?

  • Equium L300 - 17Q does not not fullscreen in games

    I just bought a Toshiba Equium L300 - 17Q and I just saw that absolutely no game does run mode full screen.
    There the video card Intel, latest drivers, but nothing.

    He is already in full screen (no border).
    I open this thread simply because others have the same problem and I really want to know who is to blame.

    Do you really have the same problem on all games?

    In your case I update the version of DirectX to the latest, be sure that you have all Service Pack and hotfixes installed and update your BIOS.
    Visit the Microsoft update Web site.

    The version of the BIOS, you can check on the Toshiba site:

  • Equium L300 cannot read Photos on CD

    Equium L300 = I have a number of CD containing photos (mainly of the high street Max Spielman and Klik photo printers) that will run on this laptop. They used to run on my old PC

    Can anyone help?
    They are cherished vacation photos, etc. and probably date back to 2003.

    What I need to change some settings or can they somehow be updated on the new disks.

    Hello

    Maybe the discs are not readable by the CD/DVD drive due to a compatibility problem,
    Not all records from all manufacturers are compatible with all CD/DVD players
    It is a common problem in the computer world

    I recommend you copy the cd photo on another cd from another manufacturer.
    You may want to use a different computer for this procedure
    I use TDK CD - R. I had no problems in the past

    If you believe it, contact your authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and try to reflash the BIOS. Technicians are really experts and so this should t be a problem for them.

  • Equium L300-146: noisy fan

    For more than a month, I bought a Toshiba Equium L300-146.

    The computer was not very hot before and the fan was quite calm, which was nice.

    However, since last week, the fan is working tremendously boring ly with so much noise (like more than 3000 rpm) and made me feel so headaches.

    When I use Speedfan to check the temperature, the temperature drops a bit, but it's really so loud.

    What should I do now?

    Hello

    I think that is nothing unusual.
    The fan must work more quickly to avoid a temperature more high which could lead to serious overheating problems.
    Please don t forget that these computers laptops support high performance CPU and GPU which produce a lot of heat. This heat must be removed inside.

    Of course noise could also be related to a hardware problem of fan, but the chances are very low.
