• Error System Recovery Options while trying to install Windows 7 on your laptop white (without os)

  I bought a Toshiba laptop satellite c55-c-174 with no OS on it. Downloaded Windows 7 from msdnaa and bootable usb drive created with PowerISO. Had a lot of trouble with the usb as a boot recognition, but then I changed the boot order to usb is just after the drive hard (i.e. second). Also in the configuration system changed boot at CSM Boot Mode. And it's system BIOS version 5.10.

  Finally, he started installation, but found no drivers. So I tried Startup Repair option. Didn't fix it, just at the point where I tried to access the repair your computer option again it says error System Recovery Options: this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows that you want to repair. Try to use a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows.

  Someone has the power to deal with this?

  Thanks in advance.

  ISO power not recommended to bootable media.  The prompt for drivers almost always means that the media is bad, because all modern SATA drivers are in the installation media.

  I create flash support using Rufus for UEFI/GPT, then start using only the Key of the BIOS Boot Menu.  Choose the UEFI version to the flash stick, then custom Setup, remove all partitions until the space unallocated click beside the AutoShape and start.

  If you have changed all the UEFI BIOS configuration settings, set them in the UEFI firstly, turn off Secure Boot, CSM disabled, Windows Boot Manager set first to start.  If, in case of doubt poster of photos of back and we will help you sort the parameters correctly.  It would be good also update the UEFI firmware like this can matter.

  All this is covered and much more still to ensure a perfect clean reinstall Windows 7

• change password System Recovery Options prompt system

  I am unable to boot in my system and, after my password is requested, it takes me to the menu Options for system recovery .  Not sure what I can do to solve the problem, I decided to leave a friend to take a look at the computer.  Only problem: I don't want to give that friend my password.  I want to change my password and then turn the computer back to this friend.

  My question is this: How can I change the password?  I was invited for the passwords to one of the two users - my name and some other account that I did not recognize (probably a system account).  I enter the password, then, in the System Recovery Options menu resulting I select command prompt and type net "user".  The only two users I see are admin and guest.  The user I selected when you try to access System Recovery Options is not there.  So, how can I change this password to users?  I can?

  Hi Terrafrost,

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop normally?

  2. what happens when you try to boot to the desktop?

  3. you cannot change the password for a different user from the recovery options account

• Re: Equium L40 - 14 l - System recovery option missing

  Hi all

  I have an Equium l40 14l that I finally decided needs to be restored "out of the box" status.

  I can boot to the system recovery options page, but the widely mentioned drive HARD recovery option has been replaced by the option system restore of full Windows OS.
  When I choose it is telling me that is preinstalled files are damaged you can use the recovery dvd - rom product. All I can do is click OK and return to the previous screen.

  I ran a few software partitioning and the hidden partition appears. I don't have a disc of recovery with the machine as she had the hidden restore partition.

  I don't have a backup when I first booted the machine. I think now that it was a good idea, but as I thought I had the hidden partition to rely on I don't bother.

  Ideas if there is a way I can get the system recovery to display HARD drive recovery option?

  Thank you Tom

  Cool. Glad to hear this. Now you can remove all the stuff, you don't need and optimize the preinstalled recovery image.

  Good luck.

• Loop system recovery options

  This morning Satellite 100 my wife running Windows Vista itself got in a loop of the system, with absolutely no discernible way out recovery. I have so for you guys to see if anyone has had the same problem.

  First of all, the system stops (battery problem). It restarted, he and the Vista loading got a message box with the "System Recovery Options" section, just an OK button and the message "Cannot load this program click OK to restart" or something to that effect. Something off the machine.
  I tried F8 at startup upwards and all options in the recovery (including repair system tools) menu restart Vista and get the same message.
  I've searched the Toshiba support site and found nothing.

  I have a disc of recovery but that would reformat the hard drive and it has a lot of things not saved.
  I suspect it's to go into Recovery Mode and find a disk on the "hidden" partition error So, I just want to stop making so that I can start the machine and backup files. Any ideas?

  Hey Buddy,

  You can start Windows in safe mode?

  I think in the worst case it s necessary to reinstall Windows if it doesn t start more. I mean there is nothing you can do

  I m wondering that you didn't make a backup of the important files, you can save if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can connect to another computer and make a backup before reinstalling Windows.

• In the System Recovery Options administrator password?

  Hello dear users of Toshiba.

  I'm willing to use the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" in the "System Recovery Options" (after pressing F8 when the computer starts) but when I select Administrator as a user, he invites me for a password.

  I double checked my Vista user accounts and the administrator (me) is certainly not no matter what password that are bound to him.
  My problem is that I can't use recovery tool if I don't log in as an administrator...

  Can someone please help? Y at - it factory default password?

  Thanks to you all!

  Hello

  To be honest, your announcement confused me a bit especially the part where you wrote: but when I select Administrator as a user. I don't understand what you mean with it.
  But first some basic information:

  Can you imagine you use Toshiba notebook with the settings and someone will make a joke and use the F8 option and reinstall Vista. All of your settings, data and pre-installed software will be gone. Or can someone just use cell phones stolen to get around Vista secure password for laptop and do clean install of Vista using F8 option.

  To avoid this Toshiba has this security feature and each try to reload Vista password OS will be refused. So if you use the password to log in to Vista the same password will be required before the installation of recovery begins. By default, there is no password and the name of the administrator account will be shown when you start the recovery procedure. When you enter the correct password, the installation will continue.

  So much about the theory. I don't know how you do and which account you use, but the fact is, without administration account name and correct password, you won't be able to install Vista using this HARD drive recovery option.

• System Recovery Options - no operating system listed, need to load the drivers, but don't know where to find this (Windows Vista 64-bit)

  It is a gateway M6866 laptop running Windows Vista 64-bit.

  The computer does not start up--gives "BOOTMRG is missing" error at startup.  I'm trying to boot from the 64-bit of Windows Vista recovery disc.  I clicked on the "repair your computer" option, and it shows the computer loading files.  Then the "System Recovery Options" box appears and asks me to select the operating system to fix it.  The problem is that nothing has listed.  It is said that if your OS is not listed click Load Drivers.  I did, but it is said to insert the device installation media, and then click OK to select the driver.  I clicked on OK and then opens a browser window to select the file.

  I don't know which file I'm supposed to select here.  I searched online for an answer, and someone told him to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the driver for RAID controller.  I tried to go to the site of the bridge to find it, but it doesn't seem to be one for Vista 64-bit.

  Please please help!  I have to at least be able to extract the files to the hard drive before reinstalling windows.

  ·        Have you Configure RAID on the system?

  If you have not configured then RAID on the system, I suggest you to disable the RAID/eSATA (SATA improved) in the BIOS. Once you turn off the RAID/eSATA on the system that your basic hard disk should be recognized by the system because it doesn't require any drivers, it will act as an IDE. Once you have disabled the RAID/eSATA then booting into the recovery environment and build the Bootrec and check if the problem is resolved. I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below to rebuild the bootrec.

  Rebuild the BCD store by using the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows recovery environment. To do this, follow these steps:

  a. get the Vista installation DVD and pop in your drive.

  b. then restart your computer.

  c. press a key when you are prompted.

  d. Select a language, a time, a currency, and a keyboard or another input method, and then hitNext

  e. click on repair your computer

  f. click the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next

  g. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt

  h. type bootrec /rebuildbcd and then press the Enter"" key.

  ·        If Bootrec runs successfully, it will present you with the installation of a Windows directory path. To add the entry in the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry has been added successfully.

  ·        If Bootrec cannot findany lack of facilities of Windows, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order shown below: (remember to press ENTER after each command)
  bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup
  Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old
  Bootrec /rebuildbcd

  i. restart the computer.

• Cannot perform a system recovery option "repair your computer".

  I have an ADVENT PC with preinstalled vista. I had problems with my computer and it won't start in safe mode. I really want to do a destructive recovery of the entire system, but my computer won't let me even do.

  I start my computer and press F8. I select "repair your computer". At this point, according to my vista manual, I should get a selection menu language and the "Microsoft Windows start repair Environment. Instead, I get the windows logo, and then the log in screen. But instead of the usual choice of two user accounts, I have one option "Other user" very boring, with user name and password required. I tried my regular username and password, but it does not work. It says invalid or unable to connect at this time.

  So what's happening? Is there a way I can get into the system recovery options?

  Thank you, but finally I solved this problem by using a DVD I had been recommended to do when I got the recovery computer.

• Cannot acess System Recovery Options, need help with the registry. Kindly help.

  Hi, sorry for the long question, but please help.

  To start off the coast, one day out of nowhere, my PC showed a "Login process initialization failed" error As a result, I am able to go pass the stage of "Starting Windows" but can't see the login screen. The way to remedy this problem is to restore windows. Now I'm able to reach recovery system (F8) Options, but it does not allow to login me as "admin". As soon as I select the language and keyboard input mode he asks me user name and password. The strange thing is there are two options for the username "admin" and the other is 'Office' (I did not have any accounts with these names). I read an article on the Dell (my pc manufacturer) website that said to log on as an administrator. But the Recovery Options does not give me access as 'admin' for any password I tried. I tried all the standard passwords and password for my account admin on PC (which has not been named admin btw). I also tried to leave it blank, but Recovery Options points out "the user name or password is incorrect" every time. Now, I tried to find a way to work around and reached here

  I quote an answer ' I ca, however, access the Recovery Console: . 
  I found a tweak on the Internet to change the registry for a password is not necessary to enter the Recovery Console. I proved that this tweak works as expected by switching between the registry by default DWORD definition ('0') and the twisted DWORD setting ('1').  When the DWORD value is set to '1' I can access all the functions of the Console recovery, but when the value of the default value of '0' without password allows access to the Recovery Console.  The tweak I used is as follows:

  Please just help me to implement this tweak. How can I access registry without the need to log in.

  Sorry for these elaborate details, I didn't want to leave anything. Thanks in advance.

  The way to remedy this problem is to restore windows.

  It is correct. To call the system restore, follow these steps:

  1. Use your repair Windows CD to start the computer in Windows Repair Mode. You will not have a password.
  2. Use the system restore to solve your problem.
  3. Plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key. On behalf of alternatives would easily get around your current situation.

  If you do not have a CD to repair Windows, ask a friend to burn you through the control panel / backup and restore.

• Pavilion p6506f: System Recovery option grayed out when you use the recovery to factory default reset disk

  Dear experts,

  Please help me on what I am making a solution for about 4 hours now...

  Somehow my recovery partition is damaged, so I use the recovery disk that I created when I bought the computer.

  I used the disc to start the computer and after loading files and everything on the menu of Recovery Manager "System Recovery" is grayed out.  Note that I have not changed any hardware on the computer.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You did do the right thing. But you created a Win 7 recovery disk, not the game of HP recovery disks.

  You can switch to Win own 10.

  You will need the product key Microsoft of the COA sticker attached to the frame of your PC of 25 characters.

  Images of example COSTS:

  

  Do a clean install of win 10 If you do not know the product key of Windows 7 on the certificate of authenticity.

  Win 7 PC sometimes have problems updating to Win 10.

  I really think you should get support from HP Win 7 recovery. If the Win 10 upgrade fails you can always return Win 7 If you have a Win 7 HP recovery media.

  Your choice.

• Cannot access the System Recovery Console invalid password

  System Recovery Console insists that I use a "invalid password". I installed Win7. I make a written record of all used passwords so I'm sure I know the password I put in the first place; It is a simple word, that I always use for low security situations.  However, I tried all variants of logics of this password (upper and lower case, etc.), but nothing works.  I loaded 'ophcrack LiveCD' and found that the password is .  I tried to use no password and this also fails.

  What can I do to pass in addition to "invalid password" so I can't enter the System Recovery Console?

  Thank you.

  Hey Ron,.

  I finally got some time to focus on this and learned something that could explain the difficulties you encounter!

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-happened-to-the-recovery-console

  It seems that the Recovery Console has been taken from Windows Vista (and 7). Personally I did not know this, but then again I don't use it every day! :) So in short, it is not designed to work with Windows 7, and this issue is the result of this.

  Sorry it took me so long to find! I hope that answers your question!
