Recovery disk problem

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for help for my problem... If it is a worng place to write it please let me know

I have a HP DV3 computer that I bought about a year in the Nepal. It's so slow now that I can cook my meals so that it starts... I tried to use my restore disk but it does not accept it...

When I launch my recovery manager and select Restore my settings to factory... it restarts to reset my computer to factory setting, but then he does not accept the shed... its all just normally begins...

Help, please...

Hello

Tap away at f10 you start the laptop to access your bios menu.  Make sure that the CD/DVD drive is set as the first boot device if you do not need to change the boot order, press f10 to save the change, use the arrow keys to select Yes or Ok and press ENTER.  See if that helps.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A40-151 recovery disk problem

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    I bascially bought this new laptop altogether earlier and until recently he works very well, but a few weeks ago the hard drive, I think that then, it happened to the extent where everything would load and then the pc would lock or it would freeze on the windows loading screen.

    Now, I did a little research and from what I could gather my HDD disappeared.

    I then bought a new hard drive for this the same exactually that I had same model, same brand etc and even same GB, which is 30 GB.

    I placed in the new hard drive and went to install windows xp on the recovery disks, but now I get a problem it starts and tries to install the os, but about 15% in the disc stops spining and I get an error 437 that the file cannot be run or something like that.

    I did something wrong? do I need to buy a whole new operating system? I hope someone can help

    Thank you for your time

    If you have purchased this Satellite as new and quite while ago why you pay money for new hardware? If one of the pieces of equipment is defective warranty will cover the costs of replacement.

    As far as I know that satellite A40 is old enough laptop model, and I guess that it takes more than two years. Anyway, if possible try to install the OS by CD Microsoft facilities to determine if the OS facilities can be completed. Maybe faulty recovery CD is (some scratches).

  • Installation of Satellite P200-144 recovery disk problem

    Model Satellite P200-144 PSPBGE

    Hi all

    Today I received a 2nd recovery disk mail via UPS directly at Arvato distribution GmbH

    Yet once there not in the exact same place as the 1st disk that I received but returned and they replaced.

    My original recovery disk was lost around the House 3 months back, which I am now myself kicking on.
    Reason for restoring factory default settings was that I wanted my pc to be clean like a cell phone factory default as it was full of registry errors.

    In any case on the problem, after that 67% of image recovery happens with the corrupted file, here is the installation proc.

    Is there a reverse this problem?
    My thoughs is that the image is corrupt.

    The error that you declare, is a fault with the Vista disk image cannot be applied to the hard drive.

    Which you used 2 recovery discs of different product, which would indicate that there is not support for product recovery but a defective hard drive, possibly bad sectors on the hard disk.

    If the laptop is in it duration of warranty, then give Toshiba a call for the book on deposit for a repair of the equipment.

  • 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 A300D - creating recovery disk problem

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (extended A300D-11) and I would like to create recovery disk. Problem is that I can't run the Toshiba Recovery disk creation tool. There is no shortcut in the start menu.
    I tried to run Program Files.

    Program itself exists (or at least I think it does), there are files in the Program Files folder, in "Programs and features" program is also so I could remove it.
    Simply click on the file TosRDC.exe (or any other file *.exe in this case) and it does not start.

    For memory - recovery partition exists and has not been changed.

    System - Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    What should do?

    Hello

    I would say to pick up the machine from the disk and then, immediately after the machine, you should try to create a recovery disk. It could be that something in the meantime destroyed some piece of software in your operating system that could be the reason of this problem.

    Maybe not a very elegant solution but the only one that works every time.

  • Creation of recovery disks - problems

    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone can help me?

    I recently bought a used HP Pavilion DV6 (DV6-2110ea - product number: VY095EA) laptop and I have problems with the recovery system.

    When I bought it, I managed to recover the system to set up the laptop back to settings by default, and as an afterthought, I tried using the recovery software to see if I could create a set of disks.

    I ran the program expects to be told that the records had been created, but the software came with the message that he has split the partition to create the DVD.

    After a while, he came with a message saying that the disc 2 of 4 was created and asked for the next DVD.

    It seems that the creation of recovery disks never finished original owner and I was wondering if there was a way to start the process so I could successfully create disks.

    Any help you guys could give would be extremely useful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re the above:

    I have authorized the creation of recovery software complete two final discs that then created file "hpdrcu.prc" in both the location suggested above.

    I deleted the and represented software and it has allowed me to create a complete set of discs.

    Whether if they work, it is another matter altogether, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it (again - there's always Linux)

    Thanks anyway.

  • Satellite L300-147 recovery disk problem

    Okay, so I lost all of my drives for my laptop (story tl; dw) and then it dies. I have order a new Toshiba Recovery disk image and start running repairs to it.

    Pull upward, press F12, select CD/DVD from the Start Menu and press ENTER.
    It gives me a message "Windows loading flies... "and a progress bar.
    Progress bar ends, clears the screen, there are about 30 seconds of animation 'The thought of Microsoft Bar', the computer is hard drive/CD drive noises.
    Then...

    Nothing happens.

    For ten minutes, nothing happens.

    Except a piece of my electricity bill is consumed by the white backlit screen.

    All words of advice, support, etc. greatly appreciated.

    Mark

    Hello

    At first, I can say that this recovery disk cannot be used for repairs. You can only use it for the new operating system installation.
    Behavior described is certainly not OK and you should be able to see the menu with the language options listed.

    What you can do?
    I'm scared of m not big thing. BIOS setting to default and try several times to see if you're lucky and the installation of recovery will be properly implemented.
    For testing purposes, you can try to get the Microsoft installation disc and see if the installation of the operating system starts correctly.

  • HP Pavilion G6-1251se recovery disk problem

    Hello

    I have laptop HP Pavilion G6-1251se. It had windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.

    Recently the hard drive that get all the partitions deleted accidentally, including the recovery partition. I don't have the recovery CD.

    Searching on the HP support site I can't find the exact spot where I can download/buy the recovery CD.

    In fact this laptop was bought in the Middle East and currently I am in Pakistan and I don't think it's any HP support center.

    On the page downloads and the driver software of this laptop, recovery disk option is NOT available.

    Can any body if you please help me with this.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    There may be a work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the retail version accurate, you would need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key Windows located on the underside of your laptop when demand and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

  • HP Pavilion p6774y - recovery disk problems

    Hello

    I just receive purcashing House a new SSD for my HP Pavilion p6774y, when I met with this problem. Im trying to do the new SSD as main hard drive, it should be a nice update for this, but the recovery won't let me go ahead because its detecting the new hard drive less than the size of the factory, new ssd is 120 g vs the 1 original t. If I'm screwed? or is there some other way than to buy a new copy of windows 7?

    Any contribution is appreciated.

    Kind regards

    You have a number as three ways to proceed;

    (1) you can 'clone' of your current hard drive to the new SSD. This can be done with either the current installation of Windows or after you run the current hard disk recovery process. Please see PCMag - how to clone a hard drive for more information on the subject.

    (2) If you can still read the 25 characters on the COA affixed Microsoft Windows product key at the bottom of the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "how to install Windows 7 without the disc" to get instructions on how to download Windows 7 SP1, create the installation media and install Windows 7 SP1 by using the 25 digit product key from the COA Microsoft on your computer.
  • Decisions recovery disk problem

    I did a recovery disc on my laptop but one disks (disk 3 of 5) said no checked but when I took it out the process is complete. I don't know if these discs are good. And I'm not allowed to make another copy.  I'm under warranty (bought 2/12). Is it possible to make another copy without having to pay for them to Hp.

    Although varification failed does not mean the failed drive and in most cases discs works fine too, always, you can contact HP to get the disc.

    Problem could be linked to the media used, DVD or the application itself and so on...

  • Satellite A135-S4666 - recovery disk displays an error message

    The hard drive crashed while I replaced it. I am trying to use the recovery disk to take the computer to the "out of the box configuration.

    I chose to 'recover' rather than erase the hard drive based on this choice. Then it copies the files from the first disc and pushes me to the second. After putting the other continues to copy files. Finally, she moves more to 'recover now' she does and seems to be using the hard disk newly installed something between 35 and 50% of the task. At this point, I get an error message stating "error recovery" and invites me to press ok to shut down the computer and spits out the CD. The error message is coded 10-FC12-0002. I tried 4 or 5 times with the same result.

    Am I supposed to use disc erase first, and then use the recovery mode since it is a new hard drive? Or I have a defective recovery disc?

    Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated, I do not get the case at this stage.

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell if it s a recovery disk problem or if the new HARD drive is the problem. Have you tested a Microsoft disc for example? If the disc of Microsoft is, it seems that your recovery disc is noisy and needs to be replaced. Otherwise the new drive HARD cause this problem.

    Check this box to determine the cause of this problem!

  • Recover the system with recovery disks

    I have a Pavilion Elite desktop computer. I tried to reset/recover my system with the recovery disks that I created when I bought the system. But I get the following messeage: "system recovery disks do not support this computer. You cannot restore this system with these discs. "GOOD, then I thought that my disks must be bad and ordered a set of HP. I come from them and tried again to restore my system... EVEN COMING? What's wrong? Need help.

    The recovery disk problems Troubleshooter need effects?

    There is another thing that you could do that provide the Windows key is always visible on your COA sticker.  Since it was a multi-configurable system you should know it was professional, Home Premium or ultimate edition. Please be aware that what I propose will not contain the goodies HP provided with recovery disks, you will need to reinstall all your programs and data.

    Go to this site and download the version of Windows 7 ISO which matches what you had initially and have your key ready.

    I can't create a recovery using Toshiba picture disc. DVDs are dismissed as empty when they are empty. DVD R/W burning OK with Microsoft and Nero software. How can I get a fix for this problem? TIA ZIZOUETZIZOU

    TOSHIBA recovery disk can be created with preinstalled Toshiba media recovery ONLY tool creator.
    So I t understand why you use software from Microsoft and Nero.

    Did you check user manuals document s and the chapter on the recovery media creation?

    To create recovery DVDs I recommend you to use empty DVD-R virgins only.
