• Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

  I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
  I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

  As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

  But there is something else:

• Hard drive replaced, but the recovery disc may not work properly

  Oh here, my laptop (Acer Aspire 7730) will not start.

  I believe that I made the correct recovery disks when I got the machine before he fell, but I recently replaced my keyboard and hard drive with the same components after damage was inflicted on my laptop and I tried to run the steps in Acer recovery since the restore disc 1. He seemed fine, but after installing the 2nd disc I have now "BOOTMGR is missing" "Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart" and cannot get it to load the backup that I did when the machine was working before-hand. I can get into setting up and see that the hard drive is now identified in the list of hardware (it was empty when the broken hard drive was still mounted), maybe someone can suggest some options to solve the my problem please?

  I just checked the recovery disc 1 on another machine and found these folders and files on it...

  http://i812.Photobucket.com/albums/zz48/Vanguard_01/VistaBootdisc1.PNG

  Is it possible that the backup that I did was for a specific hard drive, and because this HDD is different it won't find anything?

  Thank you

  Hi Debleena5 and thanks for the suggestions, but I've reached the re-installation of the disc by using a bit 'out of the box' the thought process.

  I bought a box 2.5 "SATA to connect to any computer via the USB port to try to get something on the corrupted hard drive, but this failed. I then removed my new hard drive (which began at start up OK, as I mentioned in the question above) and placed in the case and plugged into my Windows 7 laptop. Once he had run up to speed I started to explore to see what files (or even at all) had been transferred during one of my recovery disks. I've not found much until I changed the "do not show hidden files and folders check" save a file that has been locked after you change the permissions, I went further and ended at the request of then ran CHKDISK and of course he scanned my drive and found and corrected some errors very quickly. After that, I unplugged then I went back to my Vista laptop and re-inserted the new hard drive in the broken machine.

  At this point, I was wondering if the disk drive on the machine may also have been damaged so I plugged a DVD player external via USB and changed the sequence to boot to the USB device. I started the laptop and the drive started to load the files and I could then complete the resettlement of these two disks and then to set up the machine as if I had just bought it.

  I'm very relieved that I managed to sort it out and now I have to upgrade to Windows 7 on this laptop that I read on and seems easy. Just a shame I can't copy the installation of my 2nd, portable more recent.

  Thanks again,

• HP S3120N. I replaced the motherboard and the power, now the recovery disks do not work.

  I'm not so happy owner of a HP Pavilion S3120N. I am running windows vista home edition. The motherboard went out so I replaced it with a Zotac GeForce 8200 - ITX Wifi series. Now the computer says it is noa a hp solution valid, and the recovery disks do not work. is there a way to fix this without buying a new operating system?

  Yes, return the Zotac motherboard and get an OEM HP/Compaq M2NC51-AR / HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but the recovery discs are locked to a specific set of HP/Compaq machines with specific HP OEM motherboards. Apart from this, you will need to buy a new OS.

  Hello

  What is the installation using another CD; That is to say the Microsoft Windows XP disk?
  Have you tried that?

  In my opinion, this would help to pinpoint the problem
  The error message can be linked to different issues; I mean the HARD drive or a single partition problem could also be possible.

  Try to format the drive HARD whole again. Delete all partitions from the HARD drive and check if you can proceed with the installation.

  But if you will not be able to install the OS by using the recovery disk and other disks then a question must relate to a part of the material. (possibly HDD)

• System recovery disks do not work.

  I have a HP G62 339WM Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I bought by mail, system recovery discs and they do not work.   And my HP Support Assistant displays "an error has occurred" and end not updates.

  The Troubleshooting Guide for the recovery started from CD or DVD says: "update the firmware of the drive. This is especially true if the disks were received from HP customer service by mail. The firmware of a DVD player (the pilot) isn't able to recognize the support of recovery disk which was created using a newer DVD manufacturing process. Download and install updates on the firmware of the DVD available at HP that corresponds to the type of DVD drive on your computer. »

  How do I update the firmware of the player when my HP Support Assistant would conduct no updates.  I downloaded the latest Hp Support Assistant and he always always says "an error has occurred."

  My laptop model has no updates from HP.

  As new as your laptop is I doubt you need a firmware update for the CD/DVD drive.

  Could you give a little more detail also the recovery disks do not work. For example you get an error, or is the laptop just not boot from them and goes directly into Windows?

  Have you tried to put the first disc in the drive, shut down the laptop, wait a minute or two and turn on the laptop, start typing the ESCAPE key to get the menu. Should be an option of F9 to select the boot device. Select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
  re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
  
  Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
  Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

  Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
  Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
  drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
  stack.

  You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
  issue.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
  where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

  Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
  and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
  rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
  installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.
  
  Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
  operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
  ADMIN - Reboot

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
  to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  ---------------------------------------------------------

  After the updated driver.

  Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
  Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
  then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
  other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change.

  Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
  is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.

• Change HARD drive can always use recovery disk to reinstall Windows?

  I have a HP dv7-4296nr, partition recovery and recovery disks. Now, I want to change the current HARD drive to the new HARD drive. But I wonderring after I change the HARD drive, can I use the restore disc I burned before reinstalling windows?

  Hello

  Yes you can.  Your existing set of recovery disks will not only install the operating system on the new hard drive, but will also reinstall all of the original software that came with your laptop as well as re - create the Partition D of recovery on the new drive.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 230cx: Question about HARD drive, memory and CD recovery.

  Can someone tell me if I can get a recovery for a 230cx disk? And what is the max hard drive that I have and RAM.

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Well, it is a very old unit. I think that it s about 8 or 9 years.
  However, I found the information that this unit has an internal memory of 16 MB and it of possible to upgrade the memory for max 144 MB (16 + 128MB)
  Also, this unit has been delivered with a 1.37 GB HDD part Nr.: P000229560
  I don t think you will be able to use a big HDD like 10 GB. The BIOS couldn't t recognize the HARD drive. Sorry but there is no information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

  The recovery CD, you must order the Toshiba service partner.

  Hi, Nick:

  Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in troubleshooting these special software installations.

  We should expect to download and install.

  If they are not, I have no tricks up my sleeve for you to try.

  I recommend starting a new thread describing your questions with this software and hope that someone else in the support forum can help you with these items.

  See you soon,.

• Satellite P10-304: 2nd recovery disk does not work

  I'm selling my laptop.

  Went to use recovery of original product CD provided along with the PC.

  1 disc worked OK - unfortunately 2nd disc (undamaged) stops at about 60 percent and gives the following message;

  Help, please!?!

  I have a buyer waiting and everything seems to be Dutch!

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what's wrong with the 2nd recovery disk.
  I would recommend formatting the HARD drive completely and try again to recover the operating system. If it doesn't work, well try to contact Toshiba. Here, you can order the recovery CD. Maybe the problem of recovery will be solved as a gesture of goodwill.
  Nevertheless, the recovery cd is not expensive.
