Portege Z830 - Recovery DVD won't boot to the top

Hello

I buy the Toshiba Recovery DVD to restore my Toshiba Portege Z830. I tried to start by using a USB external DVD drive, I select the device in the boot menu, but the computer is found from the HARD disk in any case.

Any help?

Thank you.

Have you tested it with some other bootable discs?
The same thing happens again?

  • Satellite L20 260 won't boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my satellite of sad, after 3-4 days I installed a new operating system (tried with XP SP2 and Kubuntu) system does not boot to the top, every time it freezes with no reason, the only way is to perferom a new installation of the OS. What is a hardware problem, perhaps related to the RAM or HARD drive?

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell if the problem is software or hardware related.
    You must install the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD and again test the functionality

    If the laptop won't boot again freezes immediately after that installation of recovery CD, and then it could be a hardware problem.
    You can try using MemTest 3.5 tool.
    It checks the memory of a malfunction.

  • Re: My Satellite P200 won't boot to the top

    Hi all
    Noobie here,
    I think I caused a problem wher my P200, it won't start, it was very slow and I went into the Task Manager and deleted some programs that were not running, but using the memory.
    In my view, there is a good chance I can I have deleted something that the system needs because it will not load upward.
    I turn it on and I get a light on the HARD drive to the front and a light in the dvd drive, but nothing else, I tried pressing F8 and put the recovery disc in but nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Appreciate any help.

    I guess you are using the "F8" key to access Windows boot options and Windows is not to leave you. If this of * definitely * the case, then you must insert the recovery CD and change the device to boot from the screen as the laptop boot - can't remember which affects it is than its displayed on the bottom line. I think its possible that W7 can be repair o the problem and a full installation will be unnecessary

  • Satellite A30 won't boot to the top

    My computer does not start at the top. Yesterday, I had the blue screen but then restarted and everything was OK. Woke up this morning to the computer does not start. I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. I got the Toshiba screen, then the black screen to choose 'Start normally', 'last good settings', 'safe mode', "safe mode with network" etc.

    I chose normal startup, then I get the Windows XP screen with the blue bar. When that has been loaded, he went back to the initial screen for Toshiba and then continues to repeat. I also tried safe mode, but that charge or the other.

    What should I do? I don't want to erase the hard drive because there a lot of important data (family photos, work) etc. Please help me

    Thank you!

    You can remove the HARD 2.5 laptop drive and you can connect it via USB to another PC. Then you may be able to save any important files.
    After this procedure the plug back in the HARD drive and boot from the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

  • Acer Aspire won't boot to the top! Help please!

    Hello! I really hope you can help me on that because I don't know what to do... so this is what happened: I was playing a game heard music etc. (laptop: Acer Aspire E1 - 772G). However nothing happened, but then 2 minutes after my laptop froze and I waited patiently. After some time, he said something I don't remember and at first there was a sad Smiley biiig [ ]. downstairs he said some .sys arrested or something, I don't know... However, I turned off my phone and he did it again. Normally there must be the Acer's Logo and a Slogan just after clicking the power button, and some quarters would begin to turn around. Well this time it was no small circles and I started worrying. After like 1 Minute of waiting my screen just blacked out and 2 seconds after the logo was back once again, but without the circles. Then a black and blue message popped up, which says: "boot device by default lack or failed to initialize. Insert the recovery media"(I don't remember the rest). Well what I have tried is the following:
    ALT + F10 (absolutely no reaction)
    F8 or F12 don't know (shows me the error Code and what to do. He also says to put in my Windows installation, which I did not. I don't have any recovery media)

    After the message appeared I pressed Enter, and there was a menu where I couldn't do anything. He only told me to press any key, if I put in any recovery media. As I said I didn't, so I just close the laptop. After that, I pressed the power button to restart my laptop... Well, it was the same thing. After that, I turn it off again and tried the things I listed before. I hope you can help me, quick if possible I need my laptop for many other things that are more important than to play haha ^ ^

    I look forward to a quick response,

    try to boot to the BIOS by pressing F2 at startup, check on the home page if your HARD drive is listed.

    If it listed to go to the exit of tav and choose load setup default, press F10, Save and exit

    try to start

    If you still having problem with missing starting device, your HARD drive is probably dead or having some bad problems; If you are still under warranty, please contact Acer support.

  • Satellite P100-434 won't boot to the top

    Hi Ive got a Satellite P100-434 and Ive had for more than a year.

    Unfortunately today I couldn't get started.

    The power led lights up, the HARD drive makes light very briefly.
    The display lights. If she does not even there to boot in the bios.

    Any idea what the problem might be? Im hoping that the CPU or the motherboard is not fried.

    see you soon

    John

    Unless you bought the extended warranty, I don't think you have a lot of luck. My suggestion is to return to the place of purchase, if you still have warranty.

    However, try to remove the battery for 1 minute and then replace the battery again. Try it turn on.

    Also try with the power cable plugged in power and remove the battery.

    If all else fails, then you have a very expensive paper weight.

    Good luck.

  • Equium L40 - 14L - won't boot to the top

    My laptop crashed and now don't initialize just comes up with disc read error.
    I tried the restore disc but it goes as far as the language selection and then seems to hang again any thoughts on what is the problem?

    Hey Buddy,

    You wrote that your laptop has crashed, but what exactly? Do you have a BSOD or didn't it immediately?

    For now, I guess that your HARD drive is may be defective because you got an error reading disc and you can install Windows from the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Have you checked the HARD drive with a tool of diagnosis as Drive Fitness Test?

  • Satellite L350 won't boot to the top

    Satellite L350 my daughter does not start. When you press the power button, the HARD drive light and there is no HD activity.

  • My Sat Pro M40X won't boot to the top

    I have a new laptop of MX40, and it starts up at all when I turn on the power.

    Most of the time it won't do anything, not even open the test page, and the screen remains black.

    However, sometimes it will start by a long beep, then two short. You can here to windows that open towards the top, but the screen remains black.

    Anyone any idea how I can fix this.

    Thank you

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    This is a hardware failure (as indicated by beeps when you turn on) and indicates that a component has failed to POST.

    As the device is new I would stay there a repairer authorized for repair under warranty or outlet where it was purchased.

    Kind regards

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Steve

    Sorry, but if there is any sort of reaction and if you are not able to enter the BIOS settings which suggest serious hardware problem. On this path, it is not possible to say what the problem is. Unfortunately I put t see any solution it and I guess the unit must be sent to the service partner.

  • Satellite 1410-401 won't boot to the top

    Hi all

    A friend of mine asked me that if I can settle on his laptop, it does not start, when I click on the button that lights up the screen Toshiba but remember to come and on every 2 seconds!

    I can then get to a screen if I press the esc key who is black and said "system to check.
    Then press F1, it stays that way until I press the F1 key, if I press the F1 key I get the system set up the page to the top, but when he says: you want to get out and I press Yes it just goes back to the flashing start screen!

    Any ideas what the problem might be, it is a fairly old laptop a Toshiba S1410-401.
    I tried to boot mode safe but still no joy!

    He has XP Home Edition installed with no disc re install, I have XP Media Center edition with a boot disk installed on my home PC, the laptop has a license code my hot spare could be installed on the laptop and the use of license he key to activate it or isn't it possible?

    Maybe this isn't a software issue at all, any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I can confirm the information published by naccioman.
    The serial key you will find at the bottom of the device will not work with discs from Microsoft. The serial key belongs to the Windows operating system that is pre-installed on this laptop and it s an OEM license.
    So you only chance is to reinstall the OS from the original disc of Microsoft.

    First you should check if the laptop boot from a Windows CD.
    If it will not start and that installation would not start so a hardware problem couldn't be the reason why the laptop doesn't work properly.
    In this case I recommend that you test the RAM and HARD drive.

    Are most of the cases the defective or not compatible RAM causes issues.

  • My Satellite 2410 won't boot to the top

    I have the original disc to start but I can't boot from the CD drive and when I press 'r' in the first screen, nothing happens it loads just backward on this black page that tells me I have an error.

    Any help would be appreciated, I have all the files I need sustained if I just need to know how can I reformat from here.

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all the good news: it seems that there s nothing wrong with the equipment and the installation of the new operating system should solve small problems starting.

    And now for the bad news: I think you need to format the HARD drive and you will lose the files and stored information.

    > I have the original disc of starting but I can t he can start from the CD drive
    How have you tried to boot from the CD? Don t press the R key, but you have to either press F12 for the Boot Manager or press the C key immediately after starting the laptop. (The CD should be pre-installed)
