Portege Z930-145 - unreadable HARD drive - how to restore Windows 8?

Hello...

I have buyed my cell phone 6 months ago in an online store.
A month ago he kissed the sky and was ready for the scrap of hard drive. The support of the seller wrote, that it does not appear a warranty issue.

Now I can not install the original OS Windows 8, which was preinstalled. Now, I have buyed a new hard drive and in time I use Ubuntu Linux. But I want to use Windows. No, my laptop has a license code.

What can I do?

Thank you...

Sorry for my bad English. I am Spanish.

Before anything please contact Toshiba service provider in your country and explain the situation. AFAIK you should get the new HARD drive.
List of service providers that you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
If you like it and I hope that they can explain how it works exactly.

Back to your question: each laptop with pre-installed operating system (factory settings) a small tool which create recovery media. This recovery (DVD or USB) media can be used for the original recovery image installation. I assume that you did not create this recovery media, right?

Anyway, if you want to have the settings to factory again, but you don t have recovery media you must order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • New HARD drive - how to install Windows?

    Hey guys,.

    I have a problem with my Dell Dimension 9150. A friend of mine gave me as a gift, because I built his new computer. We put his HARD drive in his new computer.

    The problem is: there is no CD of his computer.

    I have the original Windows XP and Windows MCE and CD licenses. The Dimension has a MCE key so I would like to install MCE.

    After installing a new HARD drive, I tried to install Windows. BIOS shows me the HARD drive. When I start the installation of Windows and choose "Windows Installer", I get to the screen where I can choose, what partition I would use. But installing Windows shows me no HARD drive!

    Don't know if I need SATA drivers? If I should need it, where can I find them? And how to get them in the Windows installation? I know that I can load pressing F6, but I don't have a floppy device.

    Would be great, if someone could help me.

  • Portege 3490 - new Seagate hard drive (20gig) - cannot install OS

    I bought a second hard Portege 3490 and the hard drive was broken. I got a 20 GB drive to spare by Seagate (model 92011). I have a USB and PCMCIA cdrom disk. I downloaded disk hard Seagate tools/drivers installation and launch the setup and set up all partitions etc..

    Whenever I try to install windows (XP Pro, 2000 or even 2000 Server), I insert the cd it works through the first step of the loading of the drivers etc, then as soon as it gets to the part where he says is now "setting" start ", where he would normally the first reboot, I get a blue screen error, it is usually the"Inaccessible_Boot_device"error message, but sometimes He won't say. I get the same problem with XP or 2000. The only CD that I have are version OEM of Windows 2000 or XP pro, not specific Toishiba.

    Please can someone let me know what this means? Is the disk hard not compatiable (my dealer says Toshiba it should be), or y at - it problems with the drivers, etc?

    Any help would be appreciated, I was stuck with this for centuries and make me desperate. The machine has no warranty dealer wants £150 just to take a peek. I'll happily pay cash for a working solution.

    Hi Rhodri,

    Check your BIOS settings to make sure that your list of boot device is set correctly and in the right order. Maybe it's that the system tries to re-boot during installation, but the bad device.

  • How to install a hard drive more on a Windows Server machine?

    Disable windows server and install the new hard drive

    I installed windows on a hard drive server but now I want to turn off and install on a new larger hard drive. How can I go about it?

    Hello

     
    There are a few options that you can try:
     
     
    1. format the hard drive.
     
    2. replace a new operating system. When media starts, you are presented with the option to format the drive before installation.
     
    3. If it is a separate partition, and you're dual-boot, you may need to set your boot options after formatting your partition WS2008. Demarrer start on your older operating system drive, and then select the boot option fix for your existing partition from the operating system.
     
    Note: If both the HARD drive is connected to the same machine, start from the media format of the previous installation on the old HDD and install the operating system on the new HARD drive.

  • Home Media Network Hard Drive, Cloud Edition on windows 8

    Hello, I would like to know how to use disk hard mid with a computer running windows 8, instalation CD software doesn t work

    Hello, configure your Media Network Hard Drive Cloud home edition Windows 8 (.1) is quite easy.

    You can consider installing the update 8.1 for Windows first...

    But nonetheless go to the Lenovo Web site and download the latest version of the LenovoEMC Storage Manager.

    1.4.4.14439 worm.

    It works somewhat like the Iomega software former.

    (Assuming that your device has the latest firmware installed and everything is set up properly it should work fine.)

    I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

  • Hitachi external hard drive not detected on Windows 7. Disk Management displays "No Media"

    OP: New computer with Windows 7 cannot display files on external hard drive Hitachi

    My Hitachi hard drive is compatible with Windows 7.  This hard drive was working properly with my old computer using Windows XP.  I can see the device in the Device Manager, but I can't view the files.  In disk management, the drive is listed at the bottom of the screen, but said "No Media", however there is almost 50 GB of data stored.

    The hard drive shows in the list of devices and printers when I opened that folder, but does not appear in the list of hard drives on my computer.

    I still don't understand what happened, but I've decided how to fix it.

    After trying my hard drive locked on 4 computers with Windows installed (two with Windows 7) and two with XP and having no success, I decided to plug it into a computer using a Linyx OS (Obuntu).  The computer recognizes my hard drive and open.  Then I was able to use the Windows System.  I managed to freeze hard drive again and he cured the same way.  Maybe this will help also, if you have access to a computer with this operating system.  Maybe a mac would also work.

  • Add a hard drive (SSD) and move windows with partition

    Hi all

    I'm running Windows 7 on a new PC, I built.  Current record
    Intel i7 3.5 GHz
    16 GB OF RAM
    HDD WD 1 TB
    I added a 256 GB SSD and another 1 TB HARD drive to the system (they will be here Wednesday), and I'm looking for more articles on how to move the operating system for the SSD.  It seems that most people replace their HDD rather than add to their systems, so I'm not the answers I want exactly.
    I want to move the operating system for the SSD (and partition such that I can also install Ubuntu 12.10 on it, which was also a giant headache for me today... but this isn't the venue...)  while keeping many programs (games, mainly) and storage on the HARD drive.  I saw some instructables on how use a 3rd party backup/restore to move everything...  My question is, what is lost by simply reinstalling windows for the new SSD and then uninstall the old HD?  Is this all simply impossible to install two instances of windows on a single computer bootable?  Or that would result in all my programs does not not on the new installation?
    Otherwise, the windows7 install disc will allow me to reinstall it on the new drive as a replacement/installation action?  I was under the impression that everything would be kept and still accessible in old "windows" folder after such facilities.
    Thank you.

    Hi spectrum,

    Thanks for the reply.

    As suggested above, to create a Windows 7 image and save the image on the external drive (do not save in the new hard drive). Once you install windows 7 on new hard drive, you can restore the windows image 7.

  • Cannot install windows XP it said hard drives are not connected & windows can not find the hard drives

    I got an asus computer notebook windows vista, upgrade from vista to windows 7, now I'm not able to do a clean install of windows xp, when I try to install XP, it says that hard drives are not connected & windows cannot find not the hard drives, so once again installed windows 7, is there a way to overcome this problem Why do I get the message windows xp does not detect hard drives? I even formatted the hard drive & tried to install Xp, but still, I get the same message.

    The answers will be appreciated...

    Thank you

    Because the Windows XP installation CD does not have the necessary disk controller drivers.  You will need a floppy drive to provide the drivers of controller for the installation program, or you will need to burn a CD of Windows XP with the controller drivers slipstreamed into the installation.  A CD of Windows XP with SP2 included may have the necessary drivers.
