Re: Failure of Satellite M30 recovery disk write sector

Hello

While trying to reinstall XP through the recovery discs, I get this message:
write the result of power failure = 1 disc = 128 sectors 14975-15039
and I am unable to continue.

I would clean the disc using Darik Boot and Nuke (DBAN), but cannot get this to start. The only software that has started successfully is Puppy Linux (which works on the RAM as a live CD), so it is really not installing on the HARD drive.

Have you noticed that there is option 2 on the recovery disk: Expert Mode of recovery, but I don't know how to use it.

Any ideas?

Thank you

When you use recovery media that you have two options, a standard and expert mode. When you use standard mode that OS will be installed on a partition and you can not set anything before development begins. The whole HARD disc will be deleted.

Using the expert mode, you can create a clean partition and also to install OS on already persistent partition.

To be honest expert mode will help you any. If the HARD drive is not defective installation in standard mode should work too.
I'm afraid that the HARD drive is there problem.

  • Satellite L30 recovery disk failed: could not do language input error

    I have a L30-101, which has been slow to turn on. Another forum suggested going in ms config to ensure the maximum memory used to initialize and uncheck that some elements to start. When I rebooted, windows icons have been expanded and slightly blurry, so I undid the changes I did but windows is still not clear. The laptop works well otherwise, so I recorded that restore data, I needed and tried a system, but the computer can't find any restore points.

    As a last resort, I tried the Toshiba product recovery disk which I had never used it before. He begins to read it ok, then asks for the choice of the English language. About 10 minutes later it stops with the error message "could not get a writing of the language of the INI file! Article: [Commom] key InstallCMD file D:\Setenv.ini.
    When I hit OK to clear the message the Administrator page says could not initialize the raid class no RAID-continue normally.

    When I restart the laptop it brings back me to my previous state with blurry icons, another way to work laptop and all my old data is still there.

    I have since bought a new portable Satellite L450D that I write this, but I'm eager to try to lift my L30 and working again as a spare. I contacted Toshiba UK in case there was a problem with the recovery disk, but due to licensing issues they can only redirect me to the support of EU toshiba backup site to buy a new recovery disk. As I already have a recovery disk, I don't want to buy another for the same results. Does anyone have ideas on how I could get the recovery disk to load entirely and recover my laptop to its factory settings?

    At first, I must say that you should back up all your important data to an external device like external HD or USB. When you use the recovery facilities disc all the partition is deleted.

    I don't know why you cannot use livery recovery disk, but the only thing to do is to visit nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and show the problem. If they can confirm recovery DVD is defective, I assume that you will get a new free of charge.

  • Satellite A200 - recovery disk problems

    I just bought the (all new store big tech) Satellite A200 for a few months and not used because I was on business trip to take. This weekend, I opened it up and running for a while.

    After that I read the manual and found that I need to create a recovery from the tools provided disk. However, the problem start here:

    1. when I click on "Recovery Disc Creator", a message is display "no HDD Recovery area!, the toshiba Recovery Disc creator cannot be launched."

    2 then I call center service support and to inform that there is a problem with the "recovery disk creator" and I have to retrieve the laptop using the hard drive partition recovery (waiting when 0 turning on the system) and the next step is complete:
    a. the laptop's boot in the recovery screen function.
    b. when I try to "restore windows PC" (option 3), it is display and error message on file not found.
    c. when I try to click on "restoring the recovery disk" (option 5), it asks me to put in the recovery disk which I do not have?

    NOTE: I'm sure that the hidden recovery partition is therre. 1.46 GB. There is no way that I can access the hidden partition from a normal windows vista screen (without drive letter).

    Then, I called the support center again (now what difference person support) and to inform you that:

    1. my recovery partition is corrupted and I need to get the recovery disk again (which I did not), it's going to cost me AUD $66 (I got from HP one and cost me AUD $15 and will be free if I come and Pick-up) for administrative costs. And it is a procedure.

    2. I explain to the support staff that it is brand new in the box laptop and I consider it as defective on arrival (DOA or FOA.

    3. I also ask what causes the problem and has been a consultant with the following reason:
    a. I may have deleted the partition accident (impossible because I still can start on the recovery partition, but can not recovery which all).
    b. There may be a virus infect in my laptop which was remove my recovery file in the hidden partition (ridiculous, you can delete some files in the drive on which you cannot yet access).
    c. I should create a recovery disc when the first time LAPTOP computer service. Which it is recommended, I get a question that if I do not, or I forgot to do so, this means that the software will automatically delete the system restore image file? I have no answer for that.

    State (when I try to post this messgae), I'm still waiting for the staffs of complaint call fomr back (very tie when you talk in support of service these days).

    NOTE 2: I would like to raise these issues, not because I want something (I do both IT support) complaints but I just want to solve the problem:

    1. is there some sort (software) allow me to access the hidden drive in and out of recovery disc image, my laptop still have the partition.

    2. is there a link I can download image recovery (in iso format) disc again? I've known it is not a question of wise, but when I ask the support staff that can re - install windows vista with the license key from the bottom of the laptop and has advised that it is not work or turn on.

    3. is there someone out there has similar problem

    Hi Thomas

    I have a European model A200 (don t know what you model is) and the A200 was NOT equipped with the option of HARD drive recovery! This means that you cannot create your own recovery disk!
    My laptop came with the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs!

    Still is it that your 1.46 GB hidden partition is not the Toshiba recovery partition but Vista hidden partition. It contains the WinRE files that are useful for repairing the operating system if something will go wrong!

    Second, the Toshiba Recovery folder is too big for the partition of 1.46 GB!
    So it is not possible that it would be placed on this s partition!

    So finally, it seems that you will not be able to create the own recovery disk and therefore, you have to order it from the ASP in your country.

  • Satellite 5005 - recovery disk not recognized

    I'm trying files my satellite 5005-S504 but when I put the original disc, one in the computer does not recognize say 5005 series disc and is not compatible with this PC.

    Help, please!

    Can you tell us more about your laptop?
    Is this laptop your day or you have bought used?
    East - the first time that you use the recovery disk?
    Maybe is exchanged mainboard?

    In any case, visit Toshiba US page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp for assistance

    There you can find description and DMI tool how to use it. After using this tool, the motherboard will have good information. Before the start of the recovery procedure this information is compared with the information stored on the recovery image. If these two pieces of information are the same, you will be able to install the recovery image.

  • Satellite A200 - recovery disk will install Windows?

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200. Hard drive is dead and he changed a new.

    If I buy the product recovery disc will be functioning and install windows vista family premium provided with the machine?

    Hi spiropi,

    Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk will install the original operating system supplied with the notebook. Toshiba Recovery disk always works, even you changed the HARD drive. The disc contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, then everything will be installed automatically and you get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

    Thus, you can order such a disc and you can the original settings on your new HARD drive. :)

  • Satellite M100 recovery disk failing after loading ramdisk image

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite M100 (bought mid-2006), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, Intel CPU T2050.

    I decided to have a cleaning and use the restore disc to return the laptop to factory settings, and then reinstall only what I really wanted.
    I had this done yesterday, I had forgotten something, then he ran again about 4 hours later.
    The first time that the restore worked, now it reboots once the progress bar reaches full when he says "Loading RAMDISK Image".
    After the progress bar reaches full, the mouse pointer appears for a few seconds then restart the computer.

    Nothing has changed with the hardware or BIOS, and what is on the HD should not have any effect because I am booting from the DVD.
    Can someone please help? I am at a loss to explain what happened in this interval of 4 hours.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma.
    Sometimes I can read here on this problem and I know you should only remove the partition on the HARD disk. Therefore, you can also use a Windows XP CD from Microsoft or the FDISK utility.

    After you delete all the partition, you should be able to run the recovery disk.
    Check it!

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite L750D - recovery disk installer fails

    So, I bought a L750D Satellite today in a chain store.
    They had a double the RAM for free offer.
    There is no disk in the packae and when you start the laptop, it goes into windows 7 and asks if you want to install the 32-bit version or 64-bit.
    I understand that this example uses a recovery of the windows installation to install the required version.

    My problem is that it breaks down. It crashed on the first machine to which I took and it crashed on the second they gave me too much.

    Now, I tried to use the Windows 7/repair of my desktop PC Installation disk and that does not work either. A friend suggested I bring the machine, re - install the original 8 GB of RAM and then redo the installation. I suspect that this might be the problem, like rising to 16 GB might be the problem when you use a Windows restore Toshiba seems to have adopted as the ONLY way to install the OS of the computer.

    I'll try it tomorrow, but that someone has other suggestions that I desperately need to have this machine work tomorrow.

    I read a lot of discussion about this stuff all over the web, but no solution beyond buying a disk recovery tool. Seems a bit of a scam really.

    TIA.

    Hello

    First of all, I doubt that the 16 GB of RAM would be supported on this laptop.
    Then it was wrong to upgrade to 16 GB of RAM, and I guess that was the problem, why the Windows system can be installed for the first time.

    Second: the disks are not part of the package, because all laptops from Toshiba (also from other manufacturers) supports a recovery system. Means that you must create a clean recovery disk if you buy the laptop. There is a Toshiba Recovery Media Creator called tool that creates the recovery disk.

    I'm not sure if the recovery files would be still available on disk HARD because you said that you tried to install win 7 using a disc belonging to your desktop PC, so eventually the recovery files are now removed.

    However, check if it is possible:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm7

    Otherwise: order the CD here:

  • Need Satellite M70 Recovery disk

    Hello

    whenever one make a post the next day, it will be deleted...
    Could someone tell me why... ?

    I need a recovery CD for my Satellite M70.
    No doubt this question is asked before... But I really need a help?

    Jerry

    If you need a recovery disk, then you need to ask your ASP in your country for this disc.

    In very rare cases, you will not be able to order a recovery disc, if the laptop series is too old. In this case that you will need to install the Windows operating system using the disk from Microsoft and then you can download and reinstall the driver from Toshiba which you might find on the page of Toshiba Europe.

    You have all the Norton/Symantec products installed and if so, do you know which ones and versions?

    You start with a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.

    Here's how:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.
