Re: Satellite C650D-12J refuses to boot from the recovery DVD

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite C650D-12J which has recently been ravaged by a virus and now refuses to start. Whenever he tries to boot into Windows, it restarts and blue screens.

I ordered the Toshiba recovery media as the most simple solution is to recover the laptop and restore the default settings.

However, when I insert the recovery DVD and choose to boot from the CD/DVD get them all is a loading bar that turns to a black screen with the white cursor. It's her!

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Kind regards

Chris

Hi MrChris,

You have the same problem if you try to reinstall Microsoft Windows or just Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Hello

    If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

    But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

    But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

    If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

  • Satellite 5205-s705: How can I boot from the CD/DVD drive

    I can't run Setup from my cd/dvd rom, there is no such option in the BIOS Setup. How can I boot from the cD or DVD?
    Please, help me!

    Hello

    You are not able to boot from the CD/DVD drive?
    If you are unable to change the boot order in the BIOS, I would advise you by pressing the F12 key immediately after starting the laptop.
    A start menu should appear, then you should be able to choose the reader of CD/DVD (ODD).

    You can also try clicking on the C instead of the F12 button. The C button the STRANGE start.

    Check this back and forth!

    Good luck

  • Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

    Heres one in your brain is going...

    I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

    Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

    The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

    Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

    However...

    When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

    Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

    If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
    The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

    This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

    This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

    Any suggestions would be welcome

    Hello

    Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
    I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

    To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

    > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
    Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?

  • How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

    How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

    @AirForce9731,

    You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

  • Vista 64 does not start after the bios screen. Can not boot from the recovery cd or help

    Last night a MS pushed a windows update and my pc restarted automatically.  But it does not actually restart.

    The PC goes through the bios tests, passes and then crashes and does not start in Vista.

    I can't start at all, including safe mode.

    I can't the system recovery option in HP bios to load.  Can I only use my Vista64 system recovery bootable cd or actually start.

    First of all, I thought it was a HARD drive problem, but tests of the bios disk hard that all spend, even the 2 hours 'SMART' test that he was running.

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

    Hey all,.

    I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

    Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

    I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

    The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

    I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

    When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

    What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

    Help!

    Hi Jamie,

    Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

    If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

    Kind regards

  • Qosmio G15 never boots from the recovery CD-ROM

    Hi all

    I have Toshiba Qosmio G15 (Win XP Media Center Edition). I installed Phoenix Recover Pro 6 with success. Now the laptop restarts and after the manufacturer LOGO all I get is ERR: TOS0002

    I tried using the recovery CD and it never boots up the CD.
    I tried to use the boot CD boot and always get the ERR: TOS0002

    Help, please.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure if the laptop supports the RAID or not but most often the boot from the restore CD should work without any problems. As suggested by Reavers, there could be a conflict with the partitions on the HARD disk.
    You should try to format the whole HARD drive and then try to boot from the Toshiba restore CD.

  • No option to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM in the BIOS

    Hi all

    I was pleased to receive my computer H8-1485EA this week!

    I entered the BIOS setup by (by pressing F10) to allow booting from a device of type CD. I changed the boot order so that my DVD SATA drive was the head of the list. When I tried to boot from a CD, I got a starting message startup security protection has been activated and prevented me to boot from the CD. I entered the BIOS again and disabled security start-up (by entering a code) and booted from the CD. Unfortunately the I was booting from a disk to answer stopped, so I ejected it.

    Some time later, I decided to reactivate security startup in the BIOS. I did it successfully, however, my SATA DVD drive has disappeared from my list of boot device. It is still detected by the BIOS and will appear in the Windows Device Manager. It is also absent from the startup list when I press F9 to start.

    All the tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    This may not apply to your case, but here goes: I about went crazy looking for the (HP Envy Phoenix) option in the UEFI BIOS to boot from my Blueray disc. I tried to put the Blueray disc to start first in the boot order, but I couldn't find that he listed in the BIOS. (My computer is 2 days old, straight from the factory. Reads Blueray disc under the operating system very well). Turns out I had to insert a floppy in the Blueray to energize, then restart the computer, then go into the BIOS and - magically - BIOS now showed my Blueray and I was able to boot from it.  (In the past I have configured all my computer equipment statically in the BIOS and it al showed there and he was.) I had never seen one * new * material option appears in the BIOS that did not previously exist. That is until I met the Phoenix BIOS)
