Problem with the Vista recovery disc

I downloaded the neosmart Vista recovery disk.  I also downloaded the iso burner to create a bootable disk.  The first time, I used a DVD to make the bootable disc.  I then went to defective laptop (my dads - will not go beyond the page that is displayed when you stop suddenly).  I went into Setup to make searching the disk first to start.  I inserted the disc and everything works well, but only for the first, a short walk.  It tell me that windows loads the files and I see the bar moving across the screen.  Then I get the screen you see green bars that cross as if its about to start.  Next, I get a screen with a great slider and a small box saying error of Setup.exe.  If I do nothing, nothing happens, if I click OK it starts the whole process.  I decided to try everything from scratch and delete my copy of vista from torrent and re downloaded recovery disk.  I then burned on a CD using the standard iso-burner and exactly same problem again.

I'm going wrong somewhere or is the computer of my father beyond saving?

I got Dell fixed in my mind, for some reason any!

  • cannot restore the system with the Vista recovery disc, computer stuck in step 3 of 3 loop

    Hi all

    My computer has been blocked in the formidable step 3 of 3 loop. I followed the advice of Mr. Murphy and created the Vista recovery disk. I loaded it and followed the instructions. Everything was fine. I chose a 5 days ago restore point, and it went well until he must "finalize the restoration of files...". ». That's where he stayed - it would not be completed. I tried the restore points different, all with the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try to make with her startup repair.

    With this CD, you can also do a startup repair of your Vista OS with it.

    If she can't do a startup repair and system restore has failed, it is time to consider doing a re-install of the Vista operating system.

    See you soon.

  • Pavilion 20-b313w: HP Pavilion 20-b313w reset and reinstall with the full recovery disc

    I tried to remove malware from my system so long, so I decided to do a complete reset. Before I have it I order the recovery for my computer disk to reinstall but unfortunately reinstall option disc never came. The recovery partition has been used to reinstall so my computer. I think my computer is still infected because it is in the partition. And because after the reset there are 3 programs in the control panel to uninstall the list of programs that have been updated without an internet connection because I unplugged my computer to the modem during the reset process everything and I am 100% sure that I have not reconnect before seeing these programs. Also, list of updates installed on the Control Panel showed that the 3 programs had updates installed. As these data are still on my system please tell me it is possible for me to do a true thorough reset that removes hard disk and recovery partition then and I can reinstall everything with the HP recovery discs. And please also give advice on the update after. Should I do Windows updates first or updates of HP first. And when it comes to updating the BIOS there are 3 available updates. Can I download and install all 3 starting from the oldest to newest or just the new version? Then when my Windows 8 is fully updated with the HP and Windows tips on how to reinstall Windows 8.1 (free update of Windows Store, no disc) and update? I know I'm asking a lot, but I want to just make sure I do this right so I can enjoy my computer again and if there is a problem, I'll have some kind of reference to look to see where I was wrong. Thanks to all who read this and I am particularly grateful to those who take the time to share their knowledge with me in response.

    Thank you for the additional information.

    Your best option is to use the recovery media that you should have made when you purchased the computer.  If you do not do this, the only other option you have is to buy the media at HP.  The recovery media will restore your computer to its original configuration and reinstall the recovery partition.

    Hello

    It looks like a problem with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    Have you tried to repeat this procedure?

    What of the HARD drive? You format the HARD drive using an original CD of XP MS?
    It s very interesting if a format of HARD drive could allows to perform the installation of the OS since the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    I remember that something like this has happened on my laptop s friend was not able to recover the operating system using the Toshiba CD. Finally, we found that some sectors on the HARD disk has been corrupted. Format drive HARD allowed integer and my friend was able to install the image of Toshiba.
    It's worth a try ;)

    But of course, this error could occur because of the faulty recovery CD.

    Have you tried to boot from another drive? Perhaps the recovery disk is scratched and t can be read more.

    You should also check if the CD/DVD drive is properly recognized in Device Manager and try to load the BIOS default settings may be it helps ;)

  • Satellite L - cannot create the Vista recovery disc

    Hello. I am trying to create the recovery disk. Takes 2 DVD, no problem with the 2, but when I am burning nr.1 and is about to finish showing me the error message:

    The following question has occurred during the recording of the data on the disk.
    The current process will be stopped.
    A power calibration area error.
    Please check if the disc is scratched dirty.
    If so, please try again with a new disc.
    (error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304)

    I tried 3 or 4 times, brand new DVD each time. Any ideas?

    Hi zombi71,

    What brand of DVD that you've already used? These burning questions can be linked to the mediums of poor quality so it s recommended using mediums high quality only. I have pretty good experience with Verbatim and TDK discs and especially with the DVD-R DVD + R. So I would recommend Verbatim DVD-R. With this brand, it was possible to create the mediums of recovery on my laptop. :)

  • Problems with system restore recovery disc

    I accidently turned off my computer when starting, so now it doesn't start any more.
    So, I finally burned an ISO recovery disk, and I use recovery tools by booting from a CD.  I have a system of two days, which has the chance to restore.  However, he says that the disc is damaged.  To restore, I must check the C drive.  However, I can't check that right now, because it is in use.  So I have to schedule a check disk for the next boot.
    However, the next time I start, it starts on the hard drive and then returns to the black screen - the original problem.  So, I have to turn it off and try something else.
    I'm really close, it seems and the files are there, I can't access it.  It is quite frustrating.  What should I do?  Don't forget, I have access to a prompt from here.
    So is there a way to recover my system, or what I need to get a Vista disk and reinstall? I have all my backup files, via Ubuntu, so if I have to, I can reinstall Vista.  I would like to avoid this if possible, however.

  • Problem with the Toshiba recovery process

    Hi guys,.

    I had some problems with my laptop and decided to return to the factory settings. But during the process, because of a few mistakes that I didn't understand, formatting process was broken and I guess that the recovery in my hard drive section was damaged. So, I could not use boot from the hard drive. Becacuse Toshiba did not give me recovery disk when I bought it, I had to boot the pc with cracked windows. I never use illegal software, but I had to do this temporarily. In any case now Toshiba has sold me an extra price, thank you Toshiba!

    Today, I had the cargo, and Toshiba Turkey sent two recovery disks. In the first disc, there are preinst.swm files under the ZZIMAGES folder. And in the second disc, there are some files named as bin, efi, planfolder, boot, sources etc.

    What should I know? Hot to go back to my original windows? And how can I do a recovery of these two DVD recovery usb drive?

    Thank you, best regards better.

    Any help pls?

  • create the VISTA recovery disc

    A friend set more than his HP Pavilion dv6226us running VISTA laptop.  The hard drive was full and the machine could not be used for anything else.  Keep wiping the dirve and start over, but there's a VISTA disk recovery for the machine.  The D: partition where HP backup files has been deleted from disk Recovery manager is not an option.  Check the HP support site and there is no the recovery disc for HP for this laptop model with VISTA, at least when I entered all the information on the site it does not list anything.

    Is there anything that can be done by copying the correct files in the WINDOWS directory on drive C.

  • Re: Partitioning is a problem with the Toshiba recovery system?

    I'm french, so don't be afraid of mistakes.

    I wonder if I can I repartition my HARD drive I want

    First, I explain what I realized with the FAQ:
    If Vista wouldn't boot, Toshiba Recovery in WinRE (eisa configuration) hidden partition offer we have to fix, and then use the DVD burn or HDDRecovery directory in E: to repair partition.

    My question is if I don't have the DVD (or I lost it):
    If I can I repartition my HARD drive (not the partition recovery, but expand the C: partition to reduce E :) partition without causing problems to recovery?)
    In other words the recovery to the boot partition will update the position of recovering files in E:
    And if it works, can I just copy - paste the E: c: HDDRecovery then E: while I format E:
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello!

    If you copy the folder of disk recovery HARD complete with all the files it should normally work, but I do not know Mr. I had never tried it.

    But if you have the Toshiba disk recovery is on the safe side. So, you can restore the factory settings whenever you want.

    Good bye

  • Where can I get the Vista recovery disc - Satellite P205D-S8802

    Hey guys,.

    Last year, I bought my Toshiba Satellite P205D-S8802
    I got no CD Recorvy, but if I want to do the training, the HARD disk I need the disk
    Where can I get the disc?
    I have the original Windows Vista Home premium (the button on the laptop is a Microsoft label)

    Thank you for the help

    Hello

    To me, it seems that Satellite P205D-S8802 is a series of portable US.
    You should be able to order the recovery of the ASP disk in your country.
    Otherwise, you need an original Vista from Microsoft and the pilots could be downloaded from the American pilot site.
    But note; You may not use the Vista serial number which is placed at the bottom.
    It belongs to the preinstalled Vista and it s version just an OEM

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  • Problem with the preferences of disc scratching?

    Hi all

    I have a problem. Recently I had to reinstall my Windows and also all programs - including my Photoshop 7.0.

    Everything went well with the installation but when I start Photoshop pops up message "could not initialize Photoshop because the"scratch disks"is full"

    I have search the Internet for the solution and found a very easy answer ""press and hold CTRL + ALT + SHIFT as soon as Photoshop starts to make this menu: " "

    When I try this there appears another dialogue box "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?" Yes/No

    Regardless of whether I choose Yes the 'no disc' preferences appear and bring me the message "could not initialize Photoshop because the"scratch disks"is full."

    What should I do?

    Is your hard drive 1 TB or more?

    Photoshop 7 is old and does not understand that the great readers and think that they are full.

    You can make a partition smaller than 1 TB and use it for a scratch disk or use an external drive.

    Then launch Photoshop, immediately hold down Ctrl + Alt keys until a dialog box appears that allows you to assign a drive work.
