Recovery disk error message? Try reformatting SL400 for sale

Hello

I have a SL400 I want to reformat and sell. He has XP Pro sp3 installed top of the plant. Recovery disks, he came up with that are for Vista professional.

There are 3 disks for recovery, it is labeled start recovery, the next is the disc of the operating system (Vista professional), and the third is the drivers.

When I boot the disk 1, it launches the recovery software. Then it tells me to put the recovery disk 1 in drive D:, then click Yes. The disk is already there. When I click Yes, a dialogue window tells me it's the wrong disc.

How to operate?

Thank you

Scott

I called technical support from Lenovo and here is the solution for this problem, if anyone finds this research for this problem:

  1. Reboot and press F1 to enter BIOS
  2. In the BIOS, go to the Configuration tab and navigate to the ATA (SATA)
  3. Change the compatibility mode
  4. Reboot with recovery disk 1 in the drive
  5. Now, when he asks you to disk 1, put in disc 2 and click OK
  6. It should start the formatting

  • Error message try install drivers for Toshiba Multimedia Center Audio/USB Hub

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite P100-102 and a Toshiba Multimedia Center Audio/USB Hub SB0500 with the new Windows Vista Ultmate.
    When you try to install the drivers for the multimedia center the following error message appears:

    A service install article this INF is invalid.

    I also tried to install the Center Multimedie with the installation CD, but it doesn't, because the installation program could not identify the USB hub even if the USB cable is connected to the Media Center and the laptop.
    I also tried to find drivers for Vista on the Internet, but without success.

    How can I solve the problem?

    I would be really happy if you could help me!
    Thank you!

    You are 100% sure that this driver was designed for Vista?
    Maybe it s is not compatible with the new Vista operating system and it works only with XP

    I stopped the weird service (in this case, it was Hello) because I didn't need anyway, and went into the properties of this service and past earlier in "Manual" "automatic".

    Sorry to bring bad news, but... If you have a SMART hard disk error then the drive is toast. There is no way around that.

    The INTELLIGENT notification system gives you a report that the BIOS sees when it queries the hard disk during the Power On Self Test, he always does before the start in the Windows operating system.

    I hope that you have created a set of HP recovery cd. If you did, then you still have your operating system intact. If you do not, you can buy a replacement of HP recovery disk. They are inexpensive.

If I connect & Download emails from my Tiscali account using the PC of my wife (via Windows Live Mail) all right. If I then try (with your PC off) the same thing on my PC (using the same router) I receive messages if I started the 'cold' PC, but when I downloaded the messages, the POP3 server crashes, causing a blockage of POP3. As a result, I can not any more messages (or send) until I turned off the PC and restarted. I tried to set up a completely new user account and also to move all my emails to a safe place, uninstall Windows Live Mail and then re-install, but neither radical movements has solved the problem. I also tried to switch to Thunderbird, but that didn't fix it either. There is obviously something 'beyond' Windows Live Mail which is not challenged after that the last message was received, which causes the POP3 lock.

    Well, I'm quite sure that committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' is just send you on another of their many wild goose hunting.

    Surely, Imran M will come up with some other ideas - it's their job and they are the ones that Microsoft hired as their "experts".

    Tell us exactly the message that see you in its entirety, follow this:

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time) and remove all threats:

  • Failed to create the recovery disk - error: differences between the following files

    Hello, I am using the recovery disc option, but during the creation of the third disc, I get this error repeatedly (I tried to create 4 + times now, using the same type of discs that worked well with the first 2 discs). The full error message is:

    "differences between the following files. "Source path: path:F\ZZImg\09753XSP2.swm E\HDDrecovery\SWImg\0975XSP2.swm target (error code: 02016F-3 c-00000000)"

    How to solve this? I want to reformat my laptop, and the thought that it would be better to create these discs first. It is recommended to have the front discs I try to reformat? This error would prevent me to use the option 'restore factory settings' which is present by pressing the 0 key during the loading screen?

    (I'm not very technically capable, so I am greatly worried something bad).

  • Windows hard disk error message

    I just got a strange error message that popped up while I was surfing around Facebook.  Before you do anything, I want to be sure that it is legitimate and not somebody trying to make me install a virus or something like that.  And if it is legitimate, I want to know what I would do to this topic.

    The error message says:

    "Windows has detected a hard disk problem.

    Back up your files immediately to prevent loss of information, and then ask the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk. »

    Then it gives me two options:

    "Start the backup process."

    "Ask me later".

    If the drive fails before the following caveat, you may lose all the programs and documents on the disk. »

    So, if I click on the button "Show invisible characters", he says:

    "For immediate action."

    Because a disk failure will make you lose all programs, files and documents on the disk, you should back up your important information immediately.  Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced the hard drive.

    Which drive is a failure?

    The following hard disks are fault condition:

    Name of the disk: Seagate FreeAgent XTreme

    Volume: I:\ »

    I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and the hard drive in question is a disk Seagate external, as indicated by the error message.  Also I screenshotted the message box if this description was not good enough.

    Disk problems can take seriously very quickly so I carefully check the disc now and do not forget
    to keep redundant backups of your important data (use several methods).

    Inside the Windows - Regular or Safe Mode (repeatedly press F8 as you start).

    Run checkdisk - schedule it to run at the next startup, then apply OK then restart your way.
