• Satellite Pro L650: Windows could not complete the installation on the new HARD drive

  At the present time, I have a 500 GB HARD drive installed. As soon as I got it, I did a recovery on 3 DVD media.

  I just tried to replace the HARD drive with a 1 to one. All copied OK and after dvd 3 that I was told to release the dvd. I did this and the computer turns off. I turned it on and it started to (don't remember the exact words used) set the drivers.

  However I have now received the message that "Windows cannot complete installation" and telling me to reinstall. I did it, but after the steps above have repeated the same message appears.

  Pls help.

  I don't see why my computer should be limited to a 500 GB HARD drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The computer is NOT limited to 500 GB HARD drive
  You can use more big 500 GB hard drives. You have confirmed that the laptop supports 1 TB HARD drive and the system recognizes the 1 TB HARD drive.

  The problem could be the use of the recovery diskette. Why?
  Because the recovery disk creates the same partitions that were available on the 500 GB HARD drive. This could create problems of system due to the large size of HARD drive.

  Solutions?
  Well, I think that you could install the system by using the clean installation of Microsoft Windows disk.
  Missing other drivers or tools can be downloaded from Toshiba page.

• Satellite Pro L300 - Windows does not start

  Silly person I am, and being computer illiterate I turned off my laptop while it was downloading updates.
  Now when I turn it on it shows a black screen with 2 boot options.
  1 to start repair/restore mode,
  1 to start windows normally but does not work.

  I made the recovery discs after that I bought the laptop, but I am wary about its use.
  Although I don't do a lot of work that needs to save, I only surf the net and make emails.

  There are other safer options for marketing?

  Hello

  If you have any important data on the HARD drive you can use the recovery disk to reinstall the OS again and set up the device to the factory settings.
  The recovery disc will format the HARD drive and erase everything from the HARD drive.
  The installation process does not take long, you need to boot from the recovery disk and having to follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

• Satellite Pro U400 - WXP does not start & cannot run recovery is

  Help please!

  I tried running the recovery disc using the F12 key, I kept getting WARNING 'this HARD drive is not initialized' - initialize HARD drive & restart. are you sure you want to continue? I clicked on Yes-error F3e1000001 (HDD not not found) - I clicked on none he turned off the computer!

  I tried a different way by pressing the 0 im power on, because then I can no longer load window XP, it automatically runs 'Virtual disk Image', then by loading the tool recovery & followed the same HDD warning is not initialized & etc. and then eventually turn off the laptop itself!

  Please help if you can! Thank you!

  Hello

  I guess that your HARD drive is defective.
  The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?

  If this is not the case, replace the HARD drive and then try the recovery disk.

  > My question is, is - this easy to fix & if not where is the best place to consider to get fixed. Said I was pretty dense

  I think its easy to correct, but you'd need a Toshiba recovery disc.
  Have you created one in the past?

  If not, try to start the HARD drive recovery: turn on the device, press F8. Now choose fix my computer.
  Now new window should open, and here you must select Toshiba HDD recovery option. This would create the laptop back to factory settings.

  In case this isn't possible, you will need to boot from a recovery disk to reinstall the system.

• Windows could not start on Satellite L510

  HI :)

  I'm not very tech savvy, I've only had my laptop a month. And yesterday, when I turned it back on I got this message...

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem: Insert your windows installation disc, and then restart your computer
  If you do not have the disk, contact your manufacturer computer or system administration.

  file: \boot\bcd
  status: 0x000000f
  Info: an error occurred trying to read the boot configuration

  I have been all over these forums and the internet looking for a solution, but no luck. It's the weekend, so I can not communicate with the service line.
  I would appreciate a process step by step what it is, that I need to download or reset. I do not have the windows installation disc, because it did not come with my laptop.

  I really appreciate your help in advance ;)

  Hello

  Well, the error message says everything to me. Insert the Windows disk * or * contact manufacturing (Toshiba). ;)

  By the way: it would be interesting to know if you can boot into safe mode. Check it!
  If so, you may start the HARD drive recovery. Therefore, select Repair my computer in the Advanced Start menu and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Yes, with the laptop didn't come a disc, but you can create one!
  Please read the operating manual always first.

  Now it s too late to create such a floppy, but you can order directly into a new Toshiba:

• Windows could not start. Winload.exe corrupted

  Been having some problems with my Equius has therefore decide to start, F8 and do a system restore toshiba.

  Started and started to format the drive. All of a sudden he projected blue.

  The problem is now I can not even start until now to get the recovery/restore option. I get: -.

  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
  cause...

  File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
  Status: 0xc000000f
  Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
  missing or damaged.

  Not sure how it all works, but I guess that recovery stuff are stored on a separate partition. Problem is I guess you must be able to start to load windows before you even get to do this?

  I downloaded and tried a boot with no joy, and of course vista recovery disk, toshiba provide a vista disk. How the hell can I recover from this situation?

  Hello!

  If you are not able to get in the boot menu for HARD drive recovery, you must use a Microsoft Vista disc to reinstall the OS.
  Or you use the Toshiba recovery disc but I think you forgot to burn the disk because normally you get a message (recovery point) you want to burn the disc.

  However, you can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

  What do I put here?

  You must first start on doing something so USB drive a bootable Hiren.

  Here's how:

  I'll recommend you use Hiren boot CD (it will go also to a flash/USB stick/USB).

  It's good for you, because there a lot of tools more on that on the Recovery Console CD of XP, doesn't your administrator passwords and you will not have to futz round in your BIOS, if any afflicted system has SATA drives - Hiren can deal with this.

  You will have a bunch of great tools that you have in XP... Recovery Console an editor of the register, adjustable password and an office that resembles Windows XP so you will feel comfortable flexibility.

  You can easily copy your personal data (documents, pictures, music) to an external drive.

  A system of work, start by downloading the latest version on Hiren Boot CD from here (it is a substantial download but worth it):
  http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/    (look to the bottom of the page).

  Unzip the Hiren to a folder where you can find it.  There's a Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have to then.

  Hiren was instructed to make a bootable USB drive that you can use, but it takes you first burn the .iso to a CD image file and a few other measures, so I suggest another way and here's how:

  Download RUFUS 1.3.2 or whatever the latest version is here (read a few things on the page so you can learn more on this subject):

  http://Rufus.AKEO.IE/

  I will warn to be careful that don't accidentally format you a hard disk - don't forget your USB key is in and know what the drive letter!  This part makes me still a little nervous, so be careful.

  Launch of RUFUS and all default values should be fine for the device, choose letter of your USB drive, quick tag format FAT32, it if you want and in the Format options box, click on the little icon that looks like a CD and a window will open.  Navigate through this dialogue to point to the folder that contains the Hiren. BootCD.15.x.iso that you have unpacked above and the box should change to say the image ISO (RUFUS includes the Hiren ISO file).

  Double check you have the right device selected in the top (NOT you HDD) click Start, acknowledge receipt of the warning and let it finish (it will take a little time) it copies the files.   Hiren ISO is also a good size.

  When RUFUS is finished, it will say "DONE" at the bottom.

  Put the USB in the afflicted machine and reset/reboot and regardless of the button you press to get a boot menu where you can select the USB drive as first boot device (it's F11 for me).  If you do not see a start menu choice, you will need to set your BIOS to boot from USB first instead of the HARD disk.

  When the Hiren menu displays, choose the XP Mode of Mini and it will start loading (slowly from a USB key) and finally, you should see a windowsy looking for office.  You should recognize the part and feel uncomfortable, but it is not your office - the office of the Hiren!

  Remember: you do not start on your hard drive, - you started in the Office of the Hiren.

  A way to check the drive for errors is to open my computer and right-click on your afflicted player and choose Properties, tools, error, check checking now... put a check mark in the boxes and then start.

  Sometimes that works, then you can also click on start, run and in the type box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window and enter the following command (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive)

  CHKDSK c: /r

  This disk check can last a long time (perhaps several to several hours) depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume and what the disk check finds to do.  You may need to run more than once.

• Windows error recovery. Windows could not start... _

  My Dell laptop I have from 10th July indicates the following:

  Windows error recovery

  Windows could not start.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.

  If windows files have been damaged or misconfigured, Startup Repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.  If the power was interrupted during startup, chose to start windows normall7

  Start the reboot system (recommended)

  Start Windows normally

  The two options to return to the same screen.

  I tried the menu under the F keys, but all options listed do not seem to do anything.  I talked to Dell who ran a diagnostic test on the portable equipment and everything was ok.  They wanted then £70 the issue above which I am unhappy that have not had the laptop for a year yet!

  Hello mtb123,

  1. have you tried the steps suggested by Srinivas R in the previous post to make a startup on your computer repair using the Windows installation disc?

  2. you remember what changes you made to the computer before you start this error?

  I suggest that you access the system recovery options using a Windows Vista installation disc and do a startup repair and if this fails, you can do a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment.

  You can see the previous post of Srinivas R to verify the information on the system restore.
