mid-2013

So I thought to do a factory restore and reinstall windows, but because this machine has been shipped in mid-2013, it has been bundled with windows 8 and 8.1 not. I cannot recover my system with the options of windows using the boot disk, I received when purchasing.

Or reinstall the system via the DVD starts works. Installation could not see my hard drives correctly or missing drivers.

Now, I did a system restore (Yes surprisingly has started up normally this morning) but I am always a little scared and would have preferred a clean install.

Decided to buy Alienrespawn Premium to try to restore my original recovery Image and reinstall the original windows 8 from scratch. But during the selection of these options, I get the message that the image is missing or incomplete. When I try to select another HARD drive he asks to insert a disk external HARD at least 100 GB on this subject. Is there an internal HDD option and select put this system up? I've got 2 750 GB SATA HARD drive and the other has been completely formatted for backup reasons...

Could someone please help me and tell me what to do in this case?

A clean install would be the best way to go, but I tried everything I found on google in communities and to but still do not get them to factory reset my PC...

Thanks in advance

My warranty has expired in order to request a backup CD is not going to work I'm afraid...

I have a cd provided dell with the laptop, but as said my laptop has been delivered with WIN8 not earned 8.1

I can't do a clean install, as described in the article, because it tells me to load the required drivers and there is a missing part so that my cd is in the laptop...

I need to find a way to recover the original recovery on the HARD drive in order to reinstall the complete system with the factory settings...

Please tell me how to do this.

It looks like your BIOS may be on the RAID.

The value of the BIOS:
 
SATA Mode = AHCI Mode
 
= UEFI boot mode

DVD Win7, Win-8-DVD, or a USB flash drive should now start. Use the one-time-starting F12 menu.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to start the recovery image installation. The data saved on unusable USB on this path. It must be the startup created by Toshiba recovery disc creator device
    You can only install recovery image using the recovery disk.

    > I was wondering, if I install a new clean Win 7 on my NB550D I keep TOSHIBA recovery on the HARD drive and when I need to use it.
    You can keep it, but after installation of clean operating system, you will not be able to start the installation of recovery more. Now, when you press F8, you repair my computer option. After the installation of clean operating system this option will disappear.

    What you need to do is to create DVDs of recovery or recovery USB key before you install own OS. Be careful about this.

    Hi guys,.

    After searching the net, I finally found a forum in which I hope you can help me.
    I tried to search this forum for an answer but couldn't find him.

    I have a toshiba satellite a110-159, who, after a setback, did not start.
    CHKDSK discovered many problems when I plugged the hard drive to another pc, but the laptop could not even boot from the disc.

    Anyway, I copied the most important data and back up the disk in the laptop. with product recovery center of disks that I was able to reinstall windows xp installation support, but after the first reboot, the laptopt did not find the hard drive, it is not displayed in the bios.

    strange, although the recovery disks installed... anyone know how REList the hard drive in the bios? It has been listed here before reinstalling windows xp mc...:(donc c'est comme il a fait quelque chose avec le bios ou presque.)

    hope you guys know what is the problem with this one.
    thnx in advance!

  • Starting from installation, recovery - on - external hard drive

    Computer: Gateway MD2614u laptop, AMD Turion X 2 64-bit processor, designed for Windows Vista

    External hard drive: WD My Book Essentials (surrounded by Western Digital 500 GB drive external hard)

    Background: laptop was dropped, crushed physically the internal hard drive, all other aspects of the laptop appear to be in working condition.

    Vista says: Windows Setup cannot install another USB or IEEE 1394 device.

    It is important to note that the external drive is a SATA.  ALSO that there is NO hard drive internal to the computer right now.

    I pulled the drive from its casing and place in my desktop computer.  I have installed Vista in this way, and placed the disc in its case, confident, would solve the problem.  "The found operating system"

    I wiped the drive and tried again, this time using my Windows 7 to format the drive make a primary partition active and used the WD SmartWare to disable the password on the external, as well as VCD (Virtual CD, which contains the software for backup on and retrieve the external hard drive) on the outside.  Then installed Vista back once again, the drive in the enclosure, and again, I got 'the operating system not found '.

    I tried to use the "gateway recovery disc" the computer asked me to do immediately after I ran it the first time.  They have installed the Vista gateway on the external hard drive without any problem, the recovery software has taught me that I had to press OK to restart the computer, but again once 'the operating system not found"happens.  I advanced and rebooted the computer out of habit and that the computer starts in what concerns the loading of "microsoft" bar (the green bar moving left to right while loading vista), and then it restarted itself.  This new responsible for the 'green bar' and restarted again.

    3 times I let him, then I placed the regular 64 bit Vista disc in the status bar and try a startup repair.  "Windows cannot resolve the problem, do you want to send the information to Microsoft" or something that nearby.

    I then tried using the disk for 32-bit Vista in the same way.

    32 bit Vista disc completed the repair, but now the 'green bar' vista loading screen comes up, runs for a few seconds, and then I get a quick flash of a blue screen, and until I can see what he says, the computer restarts.

    Help!

    Hello

    I ve checked specification for your laptop and it says that your laptop has been delivered with the 64-bit version only.

    Something like this is NOT possible. You can have the 32-bit version only if a 32-bit version using Microsoft OS installation (clean OS install). Best evidence missing original 64-bit recovery image.

  • How to create a recovery media from HARD drive recovery image?

    When I tried to recover a fresh HARD disk recovery Windows, my little son stopped the proccedure by accident.

  • HP620 damaged HARD drive

    Hello:

    Our HARD drive was damaged and lost everything.

    No matter because I have a backup of files, but I've lost my Windows 7 recovery partition.

    I have exactly 5 computers of this model.

    Is it possible to create recovery disks from any application of HP (of a good template HP620)?

    Is it possible to create a partition for recovery of one of our HP620?

    In HP630 there is an application called Recovery Manager, but not in HP620.

    Please help us.

  • Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.

    Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.

    Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?

    Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?

    Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?

    A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.

    Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?

    Thank you

  • Options of data recovery for crashed HARD drive

    My friend HARD drive gone bad. She has not saved. She has her thesis on it (any resemblance to characters from the fictional movie, living or dead, is coincidentalt. "It's true).

    I know there are options to recover the data. But I'm not familiar with all of them and how much they cost.

    One of her friends which is a network administrator, and continued his studies of masters in computer security will attempt to recover the data for it. I fear that it may just try to boot from a CD and try to read the data, which can worsen the damage.

    What other options does have?

    Thank you

    If it crashed, she may need data recovery specialists.

    These are some $$$.

    You can read this:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

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

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon.
