• Satellite L650-11F - how to access HARD drive recovery?

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

  The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

  So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

  Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

  Hi dakova,.

  Ist it Toshiba's original OS is still installed? I ask this question because it of necessary for the recovery of HARD drive. If you have installed another OS, you can access t HARD drive recovery option.
  In addition, recovery of HARD drive option is available if you press the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer. The exact procedure is described here:

• We get an error "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive

  * Original title: e/s problem

  I am not able to access my hard disk.windows that says: -.

  "D: / is not accessible." an i/o device error. "

  I also tried chkdsk but it says that it is not directly operatable.

  Hi Rishanpc,

  Thanks for the post. I am sorry to hear that you found a mistake "D: / is not accessible." a device i/o error"when trying to access hard drive.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

   

   

  To help you suggest several steps to solve the problem, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions:

  1. have you checked if the cables are connected properly?

  2 what is an internal hard drive or external?

  3 have there been recent changes made on the computer before the show?

   

  The most common cause of a non-accessible i/o error is a disconnected cable. When the computer tries to access a device, and it's no response after several tests, it will generate this error. Another common cause is when a program tries to access a file that has been removed or eliminated.

   

  Disconnected Hard Drive/cable misconfiguration

   

  Internal hard drives require a specific set up. IDE hard disks can have only one master. If another hard drive has its defining together correctly pin code, a user is perhaps not able to access the data, and he will receive a message that the drive are not available. Cables come off inside the case of the computer also cause a not accessible i/o error. The user can correct this problem by opening the case and attach the data cables for each drive safely at the back of each drive and the motherboard.

   

  You can follow the steps below and check if it helps.

   

   

   

  a. go to "Control Panel" in the start menu and choose 'performance and Maintenance '.

  b. click on 'System' then go to the Hardware tab and click on "Device Manager."

  c. find the device that records an error by developing the appropriate category nodes. If the device has a red "X" on the icon beside its description, the hardware is disabled; Go to step d to activate it. Otherwise, go to step e.

  d. go to the general tab and click on "Activate the device" found in the device status section. then press 'OK '. (Note: you may need to follow the guests, as indicated via an assistant of favorable device.) If you do, continue to click "Next" and follow the instructions until the process is complete.) Test the equipment. If an error is displayed, go to step e.

  e. click the general tab and click "Troubleshooting" found in the device status section and then press 'OK '. Follow the prompts to fix the problem. If an error is still displayed, go to step f.

  f. click the driver tab and click on 'Update driver'. Follow the instructions until the process is complete and then to test the equipment.

• Cannot access hard drive child

  Hello

  I'm relatively new to VMWare. I had installed a VMWare Server 2 times back. The host OS is Windows Server 2008 64 bit version. I created 2 virtual machines. The guest operating systems were Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, and Windows Server Standard. The host crashed yesterday. I had to reset hard. Once the host has increased, VMWare would not come to the top. I uninstalled VMWare. Help of the positions of the community how to uninstall and delete files, registry clean. Then I installed VMWare server 2 once again. The installation was successful. Now, I created 2 new virtual machines (there is no virtual machine appears in the VMWare server console). The virtual hard drives were available. I connected them to the 2 VMS newly created. Two of them connected. I began VMS and they can be started. But the Windows Server 2003 Standard do not have data on the D: drive. The D: drive is showing all the 165 GB on 165 GB free.

  Then, is not so much known, I tried to connect the hard drive of the child Win2K3Standard - 000001.vmdk to the virtual machine. It could not be connected and I got the error message. After through messages, I came to the conclusion that the good virtual drive to connect is Win2K3Standard.vmdk that corresponds to the parent of reader. This conencts to disk parent, but I think that the virtual machine is not at all to access the child disk.

  The parent disk is about 7.5 GB while the child disk is more than 70 concerts. And unfortunately, I don't have a snapshot backup of the machine. I got the suspicion that there might be something wrong with the machine of the child.

  Please help me.

  The snapshot of course - otherwise repeat you the same mistake.

  Then make sure the vmx has this line

  scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Standard - 000001.vmdk"

• Portege 3440CT: how to format HARD drive

  Hi all

  After suffering a little frustration, I decided to use the wealth of knowledge and experience which is available on the support forum.

  I have a Portege 3440CT which has been delivered to my friend a few years ago, by a company she worked at the time. When the company replaced the laptop, we were allowed to keep the old, we use very occasionally. Unfortunately, the laptop has recently experienced a failure total and irrecoverable from the original hard drive, which was not a huge setback because there was no essential data there.

  In any case, I have from a compatible spare hard drive - a Hitachi 30 GB ATA-5 / IDE 2.5 "9.5 mm 4200 RPM, Pt not ' DK23CA-30F - and mounted, but as the hard disk is not formatted the laptop does not see it is there. As I said earlier, the laptop was provided by the employer, so we are not in possession of any recovery disks Toshiba or Windows that may have been provided, the laptop was originally running Windows 98 Second edition, and the sticker detailing the product key is always on the underside.

  I approached one of the suppliers of services of Toshiba for help and they directed me to Toshiba.
  Toshiba says that the laptop is no longer supported so they directed me to a service provider, I went around in circles.

  My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive? I think that in Windows 98 Second edition, there was a function of FDISK. I was able to access the pages of the BIOS after looking through advice given here, I can change the order of boot with no problems

  What I request, essentially, is that now, I have installed a new hard drive, what do I do next?

  > My question is, if I bought a copy of Windows 98 SE, or Windows XP and installed on the external floppy drive, which would also include a facility to format the hard drive?

  Yes, definitely Yes! The installation of Win98or of other versions of Windows like W2K or XP provides an option to format the HARD drive before installing the operating system.
  Simply boot from the bootable CD to get this feature.

• How to delete hard drive partitions

  Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

  Hi Luke,.

  Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

  The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

  As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

  My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

• Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

  Hello

  Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

  Can I reinstall windows from this folder?

  I see that someone else already managed, using stormwater management files as the link below shows

  Hello

  You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
  If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

  Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
  So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

  Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

  But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:
  http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

• Blue screen error CANNOT ACCESS HARD DRIVE SPACE

  I'm trying to install windows xp after removing windows 8 of my computer and creat new partition using the boot disk windows 98se, fdisk, but the installation during windows startup I get in trouble when get a blue error message screen telling
  "YOUR COMPUTER'S STARTUP PROGRAM CANNOT ACCESS THE DISK THAT CONTAINS THE PARTITION FREE SPACE, YOU CHOOSE. CANNOT INSTALL WINDOWS XP ON THIS HARD DRIVE. »
  Image of the screen available message if necessary. There is no error due to this error code.
  Please help me to solve the problem, and I'll be really thankful to you.
  Kind regards
  Kay

  First of all, you need not use a setup of Windows 98 to work partition disk before installing Windows XP, Setup of Windows XP has the tools to do this job.

  Windows XP Setup cannot see the hard drive as it doesn't have drivers for the SATA controller on board.  To install Windows XP you must go into the BIOS and put the hard drive in IDE mode you will need to integrate the SATA drivers in the XP installation CD, or you need to feed them to the Windows XP Installer with a floppy using the F6 method drive.

  Your new PC does support Windows XP, it has Windows XP drivers available for it?  If this isn't the case, you will have a lot of crying by train to get there.

• E1550 cannot access hard drive NTFS.

  I had already posted about problems with the E1550 is not able to recognize NTFS formatted hard drives.  After several attempts and reformats I was finally able to run and has been able to back up my hard drive NTFS system files.

  Now, little more than a week later I set up to run my backup to run again and once more the E1550 not access the hard drive.  The same as he had previously recognized and allowed me to save in.

  Twhat he E1550 sees that there is a hard disk there, but all he says is «detection...» ', this does not change.

  I need this to be fixed and remains fixed.  If he's going to do every time I turn on the drive to make weekly backups, then I need to get another router wireless.

  Thank you

  I had to call tech support and the Department of advanced technology does a remote to connect to my network.  After a lot of control and looking around, they discovered that two of the hidden system files that the E1550 creates hard disk were corrupted.  Once these two files have been deleted the E1550 completed the connection and makes accessible drive.
