• 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:
  > I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other computer acer laptop...
  Sorry, but I don t understand this. Can you please explain what you did exactly?

• 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.

• Pavilion 4070 - us: new hard drive for the recovery disks do not work! Help!

  Hi - the hard drive on my Pavilion 4070 - crashed us, so I bought a replacement - a Samsung SSD 850 EVO, 256GB drive.  The problem is that I can't seem to get the recovery disks to work, and neither Microsoft nor HP is willing to help me.  Of course, Microsoft tells me they don't give me any help for Windows7 OEM versions and HP said that my product is no longer supported so they do not help me.  This is ridiculous - I own a legal copy of Windows 7 and I can't get any help from the company who sold me the computer?

  What happens when I go through the process of installation with the recovery discs, is that instead of the Windows installation continue as it is supposed to, I have "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."  I'm desperate, I tried two different options - one was the minimum image recovery, the other was a factory restore.  Nothing seems to work. What can I do?   Moreover, the original hard drive is not * completely * dead - I can still access most of the data on it.

  Hello:

  Yes... It works fine for me.

  Here's the source Web page.  Select the download link of W7 Home Premium x 64 from there...

• Satellite Pro M40, failure of the hard drive - the new disk restore disk?

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro M40 hard drive died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately, my old drive is 60Gig and the Web of Toshiba parts site has only 40 GB or 80 gig drives.

  I have problems with the recovery disk if the hard drive is not exactly the same thing?

  Your advice would be appreciated.

  C

  No, he should t be any problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  On the recovery CD, you'll find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and software further.
  These entire applications are packed into image files.

  You should only be sure that the HARD drive is compatible with your laptop and it will be recognized in the BIOS.
  Then simply to boot from the recovery and installation CD must start.

• The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

  Hi all

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

  Hello:

  If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

  Here's how.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Recovery disk does not work now I have installed a new hard drive.

My recovery disks do not seem to work now, I get to 62% completion and then the error message "Recovery Manager is unable to restore your computer by using the original image. Please contact HP support. "Error code: 0xe0ef000e" do I need to buy a new HP recovery discs? Thanks, Nick

  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,.

• New hard drive and recovery disks

  Hello!

  I will replace my origianl HD with a new in a NC6400 laptop.  I have the recovery disks created when I received it.  Is it just a matter of changing the drive and running recovery disks?  Will be - this re-install all the drivers for the laptop as well?  I know that all data and installed programs will not be there, it's the drivers I'm worried.

  Thank you

  Wine

  Hello

  Your recovery disks will reinstall your operating system, all the drivers and all the software that originally came with your laptop.  They will also recreate the Partition Recovery D: on the new drive.

  I hope this helps.

• Vista will not start and the recovery disc does not

  Hey all,.

  Vista has just started to freeze during the boot at crcdisk.sys today

  I tried using the recovery disk, but it won't work, says the root prolem is corrupt system or something like that.

  If you need more information please ask!

  Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Yes, it would make a difference to what is the Startup Repair tool. Vista startup repair only works on his own Bootstrapper. You replaced one with GRUB, so you should use the ' nix tools to fix it. However, you indicated earlier that the problem occurs after the start load Vista, so this isn't something the Startup Repair tool will correct and is not likely to solve your problem.

  Your running recovery disk will also likely be wipe the GRUB bootloader, but you don't really have a lot of options when it comes to a corrupted installation. If you are unable to correct the problem to running chkdsk, then it is unlikely that any other action will work. You're stuck with the relocation.

• Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

  All,

  I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

  My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello:

  There are many models of dm3.

  I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

  Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

  You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

  http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01893277/c01893277.PDF

  Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

  Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

  If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

  The error code 24 characters ( 0K2B3L-6QL80X-MFPX1A-6-0UD03) is a faliure of the short test (DST) disk Self and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 62 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  As your laptop is only 6 months old, it should still under warranty, so contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check your warranty status.
