• 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!

• 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.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  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.

• Malicious software removal tool and system disk errors

  I ran a full Scan with the MRT tool last night and noticed that there are a bunch of disk errors in the observer of events during the same time period. Is there a reason that this may be the result of the analysis? Running the disk errors and tool MRT in Event Viewer.

  Disk errors can be supported if it is a simple configuration problem,

  But if its due to "bad sectors" on the hard drive, then the hd is a failure. Or the other

  for example, to chk on the hd & fix, go to run, type: cmd cmd, type:

  CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart, type: EXIT restart pc... The disk check

  work on restarting the pc, once he finishes, look at the data "bad sectors", if its zero, then

  you are in ok shape...

• I try to remove the system disk error memory dump files clean up, usually around 350 MB but not cleaning cleaning!

  How can I get rid of these files? What do I do? seems to be a waste of space if I don't empty them.

  Hi russellinspain,

  Run the disk cleanup utility should delete these files. You can remove the files if you want to save space on the hard disk.

  Try to delete the files as an administrator. To do this, try the following steps.
  a. Click Start, type disk cleanup, click with the right button on disk cleanup and click Run as administrator.
  b. place a checkmark on "System error memory dump files"
  c. click ok and check if the files are deleted successfully.

• Disk error non system at boot when using the external USB disk

  Hello

  I use Windows 7 Pro.  I have a Seagate external USB disk causing a "Non-system disk error" at startup.
  I had the same problem with a Clickfree drive.
  The problem occurs on my other PC with different versions of Windows.
  How can I get my computer to start and not give me this error message for my backup drive?
  At startup (when the drive disconnected), I get a screen of BACK indicating "Client Mac Addr."... GUID..., DHCP. "I think it's looking for a disk boot from.
  I just need to boot from the internal hard drive.
  Thank you
  AS

  USB external references aren't desingned to be connected on startup, you must also use the safely remove the procedure and disconnect the USB key before closing.

  If you get such a screen "Client Mac Addr... etc" at the start (with usb unplugged), looks like you are using a very old motherboard. If the system starts only with connected usb, then your initial installation of victory is defective or damaged

  Hello

  Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
  This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

  By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  If this is a new laptop, chances are that there is no available for this purpose XP driver to make it work correctly with XP.

• I can't export the registry, I get an error writing the file., it is said, "there may be a disk error or system files" what can I do?

  I kept getting an error of my Norton internet security. When I call there suport tech, they made me do somethings, but nohong has worked. Then they wanted me to try to export the registry. When I wnt in regedit to export it.  He said that there was an error writing the file, there may be a disk or FFL system error.

  Assuming that there really may be a disk or file system error, try to perform a 'chkdsk' on your hard drive.  Use the /R if running chkdsk or check both options if you use the GUI version.

  Be forewarned that control the boot volume occurs at the next reboot after you set up, it runs before Windows starts perfectly, cannot be interrupted and can take more than a few hours to run according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption, as appropriate.  Run it when you won't need your machine for awhile.

  Hello

  You can view these methods:

  Method 1: As a first step, check to see if the hard disk becomes detected or listed in the Basic Input/Output system (BIOS). Also, be sure to change the boot order in the CMOS settings so that thehard drive is the first on the list.

  Note: To learn how, see the documentation provided with your computer or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Note: BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from configuration can resolved BIOS/CMOS settings. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Method 2: If the manufacturer has installed the Recovery Console on your computer, perform the check disk to fix this.

  At the recovery console command line, type:

  Chkdsk /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  Hi Kim,
   
  -Have you done recent changes made to your computer after this problem started to happen?
   
  If your computer has just been formatted, your computer might need to insert the boot CD in order to run it. So you can get the error message Disk Boot Failure-press and insert disk entry displayed on the screen whenever you try to run it. This could be related to:
  • Startup options is incorrectly set in BIOS Basic Input Output System ().
  • A non bootable CD is in your CD player
  • You don't have any boot device
  • You have installed a new hard drive
  • The hard drive is not properly connected
  • Your system files have been infected

  Verify that one of these reasons may be the cause of your problem and post back with the details to help us to help you better.

  Hi papajoes,

  You did it all change hardware or software on your machine before this problem?

  This problem may occur if your boot device (for example, a floppy drive, hard drive or CD-ROM drive) does not contain startup files.

  You can follow this link & check if you are able to start correctly on the desktop.
