Incorrect operating system on the new recovery disc - Satellite U200-115

I have a Toshiba Satellite U200-115 model No.PLUA0E - 0970372N which ran from Windows XP Professional. Stupidly, I decided to reformat the hard disk to clean. When I got to use my original recovery disk I found that it was badly scratched and unusable. I just got a new recovery disk, but he installed Windows Vista not what the machine came with.

It says "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and that the "product key is invalid for activation. I don't have a product key for Vista only for XP Professional!
What should I do now?

> What should I do now?
Is your laptop comes with WXP Pro. In my opinion, you should communicate with Bertelsmann (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx) and ask what is the problem.

  • No operating system on the Windows recovery disc

    I'm trying to troubleshoot an Unmountable_Boot_Volume error that crashes my computer while booting.

    When I boot from the Windows installation CD and select 'Repair', I am prompted to select the operating system, I want to fix it. However, no operating system are listed.

    The hard drive with Vista on it is recognized in the BIOS and is connected to the computer through SATA.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    A.J.

    Disconnect your SATA drive, re - connect. Make sure that the connection is all set up correctly.

    If possible, connect the SATA drive to another PC (only if possible) and check for the presence of the IDF.

    Then run the Startup Repair.

    Also consider a check disk running.

  • Operating system and the new hard drive

    I have a question:

    I have a HP a4302f - with stock specifications:

    A computer virus has little or nothing to do with a hard disk crash. Please include the exact error messages and/or screens that remains stuck on the computer.

    A 500 GB hard drive at 7200 RPM SATAII should run around $ 45 to $ 70, and the operating system can range from $ 0 to $ 30 depending on exactly how handle you the situation.

    Is that what you had created your HP recovery disc set staff when you first set up your computer, you would be able to return the computer to a factory State even with a new hard drive. Since it does not appear that you have created these disks, you must buy a set of HP recovery disks or disk installation of operating system with COA and product key. None of these methods should work as expected and you will leave with an operating system on the new hard drive.

    You can order a set of discs of HP recovery directly from HP or third-party ComputerSurgeons.com. Purchase of a full blown Windows OS is not really necessary and you can actually download the Windows operating system to use with the key already on the side of your computer. For a hard drive, look at Frys.com Newegg.com, Amazon.com, etc.

  • 64 bit preinstalled operating system and 32-bit recovery disc?

    Hello

    I saw (somewhere) that if you buy a laptop Toshiba with a 64 bit OS, you can create your own recovery discs, and you are given a 32-bit recovery disk by Toshiba in case you want to switch.

    Is this true and if so what models does this apply to?

    Thank you.

    Hi mate,

    Yes, maybe this information is just, but I can say from my own experience on some laptops like Qosmio X 300 models are delivered with both versions. This means that on first commissioning you can choose between 32-bit and 64-bit.

    In addition, if you create the Toshiba recovery disc, it creates two different discs: one for 32 bit OS and the other for the 64 bit OS.

    You can check this in specifications detailed on the Toshiba site. Just look for the laptop you want to buy and you can see what OS is delivered. ;)

  • Operating system on the new hard drive recovery

    Hello

    The hard drive of my Satellite 1900 303 hangs almost (SMART), and the warranty has expired.
    Can I put a new hard drive in it and use the old recovery DVDs to put Windows XP on it? (I suspect it works only on the original hard drive)

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Randy

    You can do it. Features of the different operating system Toshiba tools don t depend on HARD drive.

    Change the HARD drive and install the OS using the Toshiba Recovery CD. This will work. If you have any problems please write again.

    Good luck!

  • Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

    Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

    Any advice would be very welcome
    Thank you
    NJ

    I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

    I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

    Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

    If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

    Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

    I hope that you have succeeded.

    Start by creating a recovery kit. See the following link for the procedure:

    HP computers - create a recovery Disk Image or save an Image recovery on a USB (Windows 8)
    Learn how to create recovery DVDs or to save a recovery image on a USB flash drive to restore all the original software, in the case of a computer problem major.

    Remove the 1 TB of HARD drive pre-installation and install 250 GB SSD. Use the recovery kit and perform the recovery of the system. See the following link for the procedure:

    HP computers - running a HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
    HP System Recovery allows to reinstall or restore a HP with Windows 8 computer to the way it was at a previous time.

    The hard drive is no longer achievable and will have been checked and declared "Kaput". I can get my hands on a fresh drive. But how to save the operating system that came with the laptop. Toshiba provides a free license? Is it possible that the licence can be transferred. I have the serial number etc. on the sticker on the back of the laptop.

  • cannot restore the system with the Vista recovery disc, computer stuck in step 3 of 3 loop

    Hi all

    My computer has been blocked in the formidable step 3 of 3 loop. I followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and created the Vista recovery disk. I loaded it and followed the instructions. Everything was fine. I chose a 5 days ago restore point, and it went well until he must "finalize the restoration of files...". ». That's where he stayed - it would not be completed. I tried the restore points different, all with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to make with her startup repair.

    With this CD, you can also do a startup repair of your Vista OS with it.

    If she can't do a startup repair and system restore has failed, it is time to consider doing a re-install of the Vista operating system.

    See you soon.

I went to the boot options and he set up to boot from the key USB didn't keep get no boot device found message. After trying several different ways to do it, I made a test drive and kept getting unavailable message.

Then went to another bank and picked up another.
