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!

  • Using HP restore - error Non system disk media

    Recently, I received a HP desktop computer that had a bad hard drive. I buy a Seagate 2 TB disk and I also bought the HP recovery media to restore the machine to factory default.

    From the start until the recovery media, I was presented with the option to restore the default settings, walking on the GUI informs me that it is format the drive and reinstall applications, he invites to indicate the disc #2 as expected and ends so ask for a reboot. Date that the system fails to boot with an error message "Non-system disk".

    I started the system with a linux live CD and checked the disk through fdisk to see if it was something simple. I noticed that the first partition is not bootable, and the second partition was. I have enabled the flag of boot on the first partition, without change. I have advanced and reconfigured the drive with fdisk, partition table creation and formatting of the first partition, and then rerun the recovery disks. No change.

    I found a few entries discussing the disks seagate and HP machines, as well as a firmware fix, but I see nothing announces a 2 TB as a problem drive.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your suggestions, but I fear that they have been without result, and I have some additional information for others with similar problems.

    (1) in the disc of recovery there is that something called a Menu "manufacturers", he is now CTRL in the CD is loading, pressing the BACKSPACE key at the right time. This menu has several options, including wiping them out the hard drive and the 'DMI system info' copy of disc 1.

    I followed a few guides to use this menu to try to get my new hard drive, or the spare WD 40 GB working, all without success.

    Thus, this menu has not solved my problem, but to know there lead me to this bit of information.

    (2) HP participates in a process called "Tattoo" the MOBO or HD. This process essentially makes the only function of system with the original equipment, including the hard drive. According to 2 people separated from the HP support, I spoke with, the only way to get this system running and upward would be to buy a hard drive directly from HP. I couldn't find enough documentation on this to be useful anywhere, apart from the realization that it has NOTHING to do with the hardware compatibility and from my point of view, everything about HP, forcing consumers to buy directly from them, thus hindering competition.

    Now for the rest of my rants:

    Booting from a temporary copy of Win 7 allowed me to update the Firmware of the HARD drive, but the Seagate firmware update are listed says "no update firmware of your player"(not exact verbage). "» I was able to get the old HD to boot, unstable but it started and I was able to do a restore system to it and got the update of the BIOS installed, but once when I tried upgrading the firmware on Seagate it said was not an update of my drive. I confirmed the new model number and this is the only one listed.

    Must the drive be formatted for the update of the firmware to take? That doesn't seem like it should be...

    I'll try to copy it to the partition on the new disk of tonight, but honestly, I feel that I lost my money with restoring HP discs, so I'll just go buy a retail copy of Windows 7 upgrade and use it as the operating system.

    Very pleased with this HP product.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Non-System Disk, press any key

    Hi, what it isi have a ST3500320AS. I was on the web site of Seagate and downloaded this ms-sd1autitity that checks the updates of your player. When he starts an application needs to open, but it does not work. What happens now, the Dell splash screen appears, the next screen said, "Non-System Disk, press any key". Well, I do this and the system boots. How can I get rid of this message disk not system. PS I used this "Download SD1A Firmware Update utility". Thank you

    Hi ejn63, yes my BIOS still sees the 2 hard drives. Hard drive 1 is Vista and Win 7 RC and drive 2 is, Win XP and a data partition. When I go to the messagec to press a key, it starts normally in my boot options, which gives me the ability to start in Win 7, Win Vista or Win XP.

  • How to fix error of starting non-system disk?

    I don't so much mind the error message. It's the loud beep that alerts you when this message appears. I tried to disable the sound by all means possible and it has not yet stopped. In addition, told me that changing the boot order would stop the error message, but when I went into the settings, boot order was very good. It really starts to annoy me. Need help as soon as POSSIBLE!

    Hello Holden,

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    1. What is the full error message when you say, "no system boot disk error?
    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?
    3. have you made any hardware or software changes to your computer recently?

    Because the boot order can be changed, it is possible that the computer accesses a no operating system disc in the optical CD/DVD drive. Follow the steps below to remove all the non-system drives and restart the computer.

    a. disconnect all USB or 1394 (Firewire) devices that are connected to the computer.

    b. remove all drives CD and DVD readers.

    c. press and hold the "Power" button for 15 seconds to turn off the computer.

    d press and release the "Power" button to turn on the computer.

    I hope this information helps.

    Simply answer the required information and let us know if you need more help.

    Hi there,

    You can enter the boot order in the BIOS and change the Boot order to hard drive as the first boot device.

    You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings.

    Important: Change the BIOS (Basic input output system) / 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 the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    For more information, see the article:

    BIOS: Frequently asked questions

    You can also get in touch with Seagate support and look for the same thing.

  • HP d530 - unrecognized HARD drive, "Non system disk or disk error"

    Greetings,

    It is a computer from a friend. It seems that he has lost the CD or diskettes shipped with the computer. I see that recognition of HARD drive does not seem to occur in the SETUP (BIOS), so I guess as a floppy disk or a CD some is necessary.

    Only startup options that are currently available are:

    CD-ROM

    USB

    Floppy drive

    No hard drive recognized. I was able to boot to the CD-ROM drive with a Linux LiveCD, but it also confirmed that no HARD drive is recognized at the time. I guess it is possible that port IDE 1 is dead.

    I have tried to reset the CMOS operating in SW50 5 seconds, but that has not helped to recognize the HARD drive.

    The model number is:

    HP d530

    SFF (DC578AV)

    p/n DC578AV

    Restore XP on this machine would be the best option, but if I can get the recognized HARD disk and install a version of Linux, it would be OK also.

    Thanks for any help,

    Doug

    Assuming that the hard drive is on a different IDE channel as the CD drive, try swapping them.  If the CD is always considered and the hard drive is not, it would make sense that the hard drive is faulty.  If the Linux Live CD can not see the hard drive after the Exchange, a sign that it's done.
