• Portege 660CDT "non system disk error"!

  I just bought a used 660CDT and placed a new hard drive in it. Now, I can't load an OS due to this "Invalid System Disk" error. I tried to Boot on my XP Cd, but all the same. I tried to boot from a Disk Norton and nothing more... I have no idea what is wrong...
  I made sure the Bios is set to start first with the drive and not the HARD drive.
  I would use this system someday, but right now I don't see what is happening.
  If anyone can help I would like to thank very you much.

  Thank you

  Hi Robert

  AFAIK This oldie can treat only 1.3 GB HARD drive. How much capacity has a new HARD drive?
  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what is the problem, because who knows what you do exactly and what operating system you want to use. Just for info. This old Portege comes with Windows 95 and you should try to use the same operating system.

  "Invalid system disk error means that Windows Setup could not copy the system files on the hard drive.

  Also, check the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU and under archive, you will find some useful stuff for this old book.

  Good luck!

• "Non-system disk" - Satellite 4100XCDT

  I recently acquired an old Toshiba Satellite 4100XCDDT. When I turn it on, it says:

  "Non-system disk".
  "Replace the disk and then press a button any."

  I know that the HARD drive has been formatted and he lost the operating system on it. I tried to insert the copy of Windows 98se that accompanies it, but nothing happens. I think it's looking for a floppy disk. Everything that goes with it have been the copy of Windows 98se, a charger and the laptop. I have no idea of specs is because I havn't been able to run it again. Can you help me?

  Hello

  Especially this message appears if the laptop can not find a bootable data carrier or the CD-ROM or the HARD drive is not able to start.
  You have a boyfriend of good feelings. If you want to install the Win98, you first of all the accompanying disk. (see the page of the Toshiba driver)

  The accompanying disk contains programs to set up Toshiba computers
  installation information and test equipment. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most out of your Toshiba computer and are capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the Toshiba computer during the boot process.

  If you have not already done so, put this disk in the A: floppy drive
  Restart your computer by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE. This will activate the Toshiba companion disk utility.

  If you need access to your CD-ROM drive, then remove the word "rem" out the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)
  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

  good luck my friend ;)

• Non-System Disk, press any key

  Hi, what it isi have a ST3500320AS. I was on the web site of Seagate and downloaded this ms-sd1autitity that checks the updates of your player. When he starts an application needs to open, but it does not work. What happens now, the Dell splash screen appears, the next screen said, "Non-System Disk, press any key". Well, I do this and the system boots. How can I get rid of this message disk not system. PS I used this "Download SD1A Firmware Update utility". Thank you

  Hi ejn63, yes my BIOS still sees the 2 hard drives. Hard drive 1 is Vista and Win 7 RC and drive 2 is, Win XP and a data partition. When I go to the messagec to press a key, it starts normally in my boot options, which gives me the ability to start in Win 7, Win Vista or Win XP.

• Using HP restore - error Non system disk media

  Recently, I received a HP desktop computer that had a bad hard drive. I buy a Seagate 2 TB disk and I also bought the HP recovery media to restore the machine to factory default.

  From the start until the recovery media, I was presented with the option to restore the default settings, walking on the GUI informs me that it is format the drive and reinstall applications, he invites to indicate the disc #2 as expected and ends so ask for a reboot. Date that the system fails to boot with an error message "Non-system disk".

  I started the system with a linux live CD and checked the disk through fdisk to see if it was something simple. I noticed that the first partition is not bootable, and the second partition was. I have enabled the flag of boot on the first partition, without change. I have advanced and reconfigured the drive with fdisk, partition table creation and formatting of the first partition, and then rerun the recovery disks. No change.

  I found a few entries discussing the disks seagate and HP machines, as well as a firmware fix, but I see nothing announces a 2 TB as a problem drive.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks for your suggestions, but I fear that they have been without result, and I have some additional information for others with similar problems.

  (1) in the disc of recovery there is that something called a Menu "manufacturers", he is now CTRL in the CD is loading, pressing the BACKSPACE key at the right time. This menu has several options, including wiping them out the hard drive and the 'DMI system info' copy of disc 1.

  I followed a few guides to use this menu to try to get my new hard drive, or the spare WD 40 GB working, all without success.

  Thus, this menu has not solved my problem, but to know there lead me to this bit of information.

  (2) HP participates in a process called "Tattoo" the MOBO or HD. This process essentially makes the only function of system with the original equipment, including the hard drive. According to 2 people separated from the HP support, I spoke with, the only way to get this system running and upward would be to buy a hard drive directly from HP. I couldn't find enough documentation on this to be useful anywhere, apart from the realization that it has NOTHING to do with the hardware compatibility and from my point of view, everything about HP, forcing consumers to buy directly from them, thus hindering competition.

  Now for the rest of my rants:

  Booting from a temporary copy of Win 7 allowed me to update the Firmware of the HARD drive, but the Seagate firmware update are listed says "no update firmware of your player"(not exact verbage). "» I was able to get the old HD to boot, unstable but it started and I was able to do a restore system to it and got the update of the BIOS installed, but once when I tried upgrading the firmware on Seagate it said was not an update of my drive. I confirmed the new model number and this is the only one listed.

  Must the drive be formatted for the update of the firmware to take? That doesn't seem like it should be...

  I'll try to copy it to the partition on the new disk of tonight, but honestly, I feel that I lost my money with restoring HP discs, so I'll just go buy a retail copy of Windows 7 upgrade and use it as the operating system.

  Very pleased with this HP product.

  Hello

  MY Z820 workstation is equipped with an Intel 520 240 GB SSD as boot drive, on the integrated LSI SAS 2308 controller. It is a GPT disk.

  I just tried to update my BIOS Rev 02.08 Z820. at 02.55 a. rev.

  The update succeeded, and in the BIOS, I check that all the settings are the same as before the update. On the boot, however, I get an error saying "Non system disk or disk error."

  Mass strorage option ROM is set to EFI mode.

  No matter what the settings, it does not start in Windows.

  I started 02.08 BIOS Rev A and now all is well again.

  Is there a compatibility issue with the BIOS 02.55 Rev A combo, Intel SSD 520 and LSI SAS 2308?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  ·         Are you referring to restoring the system or restore to factory setting?

  I suggest you visit the link provided below for more information on system recovery option in Windows Vista.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

  If you are recovering system of built-in hard drive, then you may lose all data on the system but you will not lose the hotmail account as it is stored on the server.

  If you are referring to the system restore option then you will lose all data in the system, but you may lose the application that you installed after the date to which you restored the system

  For more information about system restore, see the below given link

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

  In case you're talking about restoring factory setting then you will lose all data on the system and your system would be restored to factory settings.

• Satellite M30 is not unbootable HARD drive and I can find no error

  When I start the laptop, I get only a black screen (after the Toshiba/Bios screen) and a flashing cursor. Nothing else happens. I didn't like the change of configuration, updates etc. before that happened.
  I am able to start the computer from the CD (with a XP pro CD or UBCD4win) drive and access the hard drive (so I was able to copy all of my data to an external hard drive), it does not start only windows (XP Professional SP3) from this drive!

  Using UBCD4win, I ran diagnosis tools like memtest and TestDisk, without any reported errors. I also ran DFT (drive fitness test) of Hitachi (which is my hard drive manufacturer). Have not found errors, too. I also tried the repair install of windows, which went very well, but has not changed the situation at all. Also, I tried fixboot, fixmbr and bootcfg/rebuild of the recovery console, does not solve the problem. Load default BIOS - no change. I'm out of ideas...

  So does anyone have an idea what's wrong with the system? I find no error, but this thing just does not start from the hard drive. Any idea/input is very appreciated!

  Hey Buddy

  > there must be a way to solve the problem without having to reinstall the entire system.
  I doubt that!
  Not all problems can be solved without having to reinstall Windows.

  I know this is strange and it takes a lot of time to install all your programs, but I think that in this case, it is the only solution for this. I mean you have tried many things and if a Windows repair installation does not, for me are obvious: a relocation complete!

  You can spend more time to solve this problem without having to reinstall Windows, but don t forget you can do a complete new installation at the same time.
  Think about it! ;)

  Good luck!

• Need help: invalid system disk error

  I must have left my laptop on the week last with only a small battery backup as victory, that I woke up in the morning, he had absolutely no power.  When I plugged the laptop and I tried to reboot it wasn't going to the normal microsoft vista home page.

  Instead of this turned back or the system bios and on the top of the screen, he said.  Invalid system disk error.  I pressed ESC and immediately thereafter loaded up normally.  Once on the page of windows, he showed he was about 8 windows updates.  (this every way - when I left my computer on automatic update of windows, running and starting to update my computer.  Since I only had a remaining battery minimum computer must have lost all power during the update.  Because update has not been completely loaded my computer now has a problem starting).

  Whenever I turn on computer, need me the black screen with the comment of the system disk error.  While hitting escape when this screen is easy to do and makes windows vista starts normally - I'd rather have a completely normal vista installation program.

  Help, please.

  What should I do?

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• Satellite Pro 4320 unrecognized HARD drive

  Hi all

  Please bear with me while I explain the disorder, that I am.

  I am a newbie in things pc & they gave me the laptop above to play with. He had only a small 6 GB HARD drive, so I bought a 30 GB internal disc used to install.
  I have the disc and followed the instructions on the internet on fdisk and formatting.

  Put the CD with the XP operating system and put XP on the drive. It worked fine for a few hours until I installed a network thingy usb dongle... then I'm nasty BSOD screens and couldn't go in the disk at all.
  The laptop refuses to recognize the drive.

  I tried to use an old Win 98 boot floppy in and none of the commands fdisk or format will take place, he said that there is no drive C.
  I also tried the XP cd, but will go only where the loading of drivers/utilities, then it stops and says that he does not find the disk, then press F3 to exit.
  I updated the BIOS to new supply & even that did not help. I must have done something wrong for lack of experience to get to this stage that the disc was recognized first.

  BTW, it will still recognize the old small hdd
  Someone at - it suggestions how I could get this disc recognized again?

  Thank you for taking the time to read this

  Hello

  Have you checked if the 30 GB HARD drive is distinguished by the BIOS?
  You need to access the BIOS settings and the full name of the HARD disk and the size must be visible in the BIOS.
  If this is not the case of the something might be wrong with the new HARD drive

  So please check it first and report the results

• After you have reinstalled a new hard drive, my system is slower than before

  I have a dv6000 HP Pavilion with Windows vista 32 bit.  My hard drive crashed and we bought and upgraded to a 500 GB.  I reinstalled all my software and update everything, but it seems that it has not been installed correctly (vista).  This is my 2nd hard drive and the 1st time, we have not had any problems.  This time it does not appear that correctly reinstalled Vista.  None of my previous icons came back, I had to do these myself.  My system is "slower" than ever.  Commissioning is slow, clicking in IE is slow.  My system seems to freeze and lock up a lot now then that on the internet or turned off.  Sometimes just clicking on IE or even one of my programs, it takes a very long time to come.  No information has no reinstall my external hard drive, everything here is new and fresh.  I'm just uninstall everything and try everything again.  I am completely frustrated.

  Hi Jan,

  Do you have more details on the hard disk that you purchased? These can be signs that the drive is defective and fails.
  Usually, if a car goes to the failure of your computer behaves strangely. This could be anything to take time abnormally long starting or opening programs to receive errors trying to save files.
  Since how long have you bought the new drive? If he was recently, which means the last month or so, I think it would be better to return it to the store that you bought it and exchange it for a scratch disk.
