Portege R100: question of recovery - disk partitioning error

My old portege r100 doesn't quite work.
I tried using the recovery CD product, but during the resumption of the process the following message apears:
Drive partitioning error!

What it means?
What can I do to overcome?

Thanks in advance

Hello

It seems that HDD might not be partitioned correctly.
Perhaps the HARD drive is not ok?

Check if the HARD drive is recognized and listed in the BIOS.
If the HARD drive is not listed, then the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

If the HARD disk is listed, then there might be a problem with the HARD drive partition table
You could test the HARD drive by using a tool called Drive Fitness Test.

You can also try to format the HARD drive first. You could fix this HARD drive on another computer by using a USB HDD controller. This allows you to access the HARD disk and format this drive

  • PORTEGE R100 CD-ROM recovery problem

    Hi, I had a few problems of recovery PORTEGE R100. My problem is that when I try to reinstall the system with the recovery of the boot disk CD, it does not recognize the CD. The CD-ROM is not a TOSHIBA product. Is there any solution for this?

    Hello

    It will be interesting to know if your external CD is a USB or PCMCIA device.

    You must make a Windows startup disk and add drivers for your CD-ROM BACK drive and then you should be able to recover the machine with this CD.

  • How to format and re - install Windows 7 using recovery disks/Partitions?

    Hello..

    My product-

    HP DV4-5109tx

    Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I have a free space of 78 GBs that I'm not able to use... As when I try to use the "disk management" and right-click on the free space to "format partition" this option has been grayed out... !!

    Please suggest if I can use this space without formatting? (I was suggested for formatting)

    In addition, due to some other issues too I want to format my Windows (and reinstall) IE drive C so that the free space problem can be solved... Also I don't want no data in my other drives to be formatted...

    I have the recovery partition and the recovery disks sent by HP...

    Please help me how I can use them to solve my goal...

    Thank you

    It's simple, as I suggested in my previous post.

    Once you have a drive like the one on the image management window simply click New Simple Volume. Create a new partition called "New Volume". Make a right click on it and the option to format it will appear.  The strips on the 75,38 GB of free space in your image indicates that the selected action will take place on this point in the disk management window. You can change the name for the new volume in Windows Explorer.

  • Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

    Hello

    I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

    I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

    I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

    Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

  • Question about recovery disks

    Hello everyone, Im a person retired and new to computers and the forums. My question is, when, where and why the recovery discs are used? My L series has 2 of them. Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Badhat wrote the very good display, but here's my little additional explanation:

    Each computer will be used with operating system. Operating system is just part of the system that works well. Preinstalled OS must have good communication with all available hardware components. For this reason, for each material single component must be installed right driver. OS with the drivers can work well, but this isn't the end of the story. Toshiba offers many additional functions for keys, power control and so on. For this Toshiba application offer and install the additional tools and utilities.

    As you can see the preparation of BONE can be quite complicated for people without good knowledge of PC. To avoid this Toshiba prepare all this. People who work in the service of software install OS on certain model of laptop, install the necessary drivers al, tools, utility and software additional (anti-virus software) and create the image of the recovery of it. Recovery image is a kind of fingerprint of the stuff all pre-installed so when you use image recovery everything installs correctly and when installation is complete, you will be able to use the laptop immediately without spending your time to configure anything. This condition is also called if the factory settings.

    In the past, that Toshiba has delivered equipped laptops of recovery disc in the box of you, but in recent years the recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and each owner of the laptop must / should create recovery disks only. It can be done using an application preinstalled called creator of recovery disk Toshiba.

    Take care of your disks. You can use hem many times and without limits every time when something is a crew up and you want to have own OS preinstalled and use the laptop with the factory settings.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

    Hello.

    I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

    Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much

  • Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

    My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

    So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

    I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

    Hey,.

    Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

    So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

  • Hard disk partition error

    I have an external hard drive that is partitioned into 2 drives recently I plugged in and saw that one of my player does not show their name of file system is displayed but size and other information are not visible, it opens either, the other drive works fine, what do I do if I want the data intact?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
    This is not possible because there is an error in the HARD drive partition. I suggest to save the data of the second partition and do a clean format, with a single partition and try to use it. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer, it may require repair.
  • Portege R100: Question on the maximum size of HARD drive

    Hello

    I understand the internal player on the R100 is an ATA5 (Enhanced IDE), I've only used the IBM (now HGST) readers, they do a decent-sized on ATA6 disc, I guess, it will take the player that will support ATA5 as the controller on the R100 is ATA5 only.

    As for the size, what is the maximum size can I ride in this unit?

    The orginal is 5.4 width x depth x 7.9 height 8 mm. Can I assume all 1.8 inch drive will fot or is it a mine field?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    AFAIK the R100 was delivered with a 30GB and 40GB HDD.
    I found an info that the hard drives are compatible:
