  Hello

  What is the installation using another CD; That is to say the Microsoft Windows XP disk?
  Have you tried that?

  In my opinion, this would help to pinpoint the problem
  The error message can be linked to different issues; I mean the HARD drive or a single partition problem could also be possible.

  Try to format the drive HARD whole again. Delete all partitions from the HARD drive and check if you can proceed with the installation.

  But if you will not be able to install the OS by using the recovery disk and other disks then a question must relate to a part of the material. (possibly HDD)

• System recovery disks do not work.

  I have a HP G62 339WM Notebook PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  I bought by mail, system recovery discs and they do not work.   And my HP Support Assistant displays "an error has occurred" and end not updates.

  The Troubleshooting Guide for the recovery started from CD or DVD says: "update the firmware of the drive. This is especially true if the disks were received from HP customer service by mail. The firmware of a DVD player (the pilot) isn't able to recognize the support of recovery disk which was created using a newer DVD manufacturing process. Download and install updates on the firmware of the DVD available at HP that corresponds to the type of DVD drive on your computer. »

  How do I update the firmware of the player when my HP Support Assistant would conduct no updates.  I downloaded the latest Hp Support Assistant and he always always says "an error has occurred."

  My laptop model has no updates from HP.

  As new as your laptop is I doubt you need a firmware update for the CD/DVD drive.

  Could you give a little more detail also the recovery disks do not work. For example you get an error, or is the laptop just not boot from them and goes directly into Windows?

  Have you tried to put the first disc in the drive, shut down the laptop, wait a minute or two and turn on the laptop, start typing the ESCAPE key to get the menu. Should be an option of F9 to select the boot device. Select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

• HP S3120N. I replaced the motherboard and the power, now the recovery disks do not work.

  I'm not so happy owner of a HP Pavilion S3120N. I am running windows vista home edition. The motherboard went out so I replaced it with a Zotac GeForce 8200 - ITX Wifi series. Now the computer says it is noa a hp solution valid, and the recovery disks do not work. is there a way to fix this without buying a new operating system?

  Yes, return the Zotac motherboard and get an OEM HP/Compaq M2NC51-AR / HematiteXL-GL8E motherboard. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, but the recovery discs are locked to a specific set of HP/Compaq machines with specific HP OEM motherboards. Apart from this, you will need to buy a new OS.

• Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

  I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
  I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

  As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

  But there is something else:
  > I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other computer acer laptop...
  Sorry, but I don t understand this. Can you please explain what you did exactly?

  Sorry for my question but what you want to do exactly?
  You want to retrieve the laptop using the recovery disk or you want to create a recovery disk?

  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk using files in HARD disk recovery file that is placed on the second partition.

  If you want to recover the laptop, then you simply boot from the recovery disc.

  Hello

  The reader at the link below must be compatible with your laptop and will offer a little more storage.  You might well be able to install a hard drive with a larger capacity, but this should be a choice course.

• Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE - recovery disk does not work

  Hello

  My problem is that when I used the restore disk provided with the laptop it froze the computer when he was to "expand our files (0%). »
  I thought that drive was defective, so bought a new drive of Toshiba (£30) but get the same error.
  Machine is now starts rained because the recovery disks erased the hard drive before freezing.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, this is the first time I see this error
  I doubt that the recovery disk is defective or the drive HARD because as you say it was possible to install Win XP on this laptop

  I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again to erase all partitions and format the HARD drive using the Win XP disc. Then take the recovery disk and try to reinstall the new Vista operating system

Please contact HP support. "Error code: 0xe0ef000e" do I need to buy a new HP recovery discs? Thanks, Nick

  Hi, Nick:

  Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in troubleshooting these special software installations.

  We should expect to download and install.

  If they are not, I have no tricks up my sleeve for you to try.

  I recommend starting a new thread describing your questions with this software and hope that someone else in the support forum can help you with these items.

  See you soon,.

• Recovery disk does not work for Satellite A100-197

  I'm working on an A100-197, which would not boot into normal Windows, but was able to start in safe mode.
  I used MSConfig to disable all startup and other services. Not good.
  I used the system restore. Not good.
  I have scanned for viruses, rootkits, etc. None found. Not good.
  I copied data to another hard drive in SafeMode with network and inserted the recovery DVDs.
  Through unpacking and got message saying to remove DVD - did this and system seems to freeze.
  Click the exit button and it restarts, but Windows froze (the movement stopped moving blobs). Tried safe mode
  but got a message saying that the installation of the system has not finished.
  Tried the recovery again, but this time I left the unpacking screen 100% of the overnight to see if
  He has nothing. There can be no. Click on exit and got the same as above.
  HDD formatted in partition magic and I tried again. Not good.
  Created 5 GB FAT32 partition and DVD files copied to the FAT32 partition. Tried to run the decompression program
  back. He refused to run in DOS mode.
  I think that connects the hard drive on another machine and RecoUnpack.exe a work PC running to
  unzip the files on the laptop HARD drive image, but this is crazy - the recovery disk is supposed to retrieve the
  System. What else can I try?

  I would say that you have some serious hardware malfunction. Have you ever tried to check the RAM and the processor?
  In your case, I would try to run the UBCD4Win (www.ubcd4win.com) and superPI allows to see if the RAM is faulty.

  It could also be another component such as the motherboard or something on the motherboard (graphics, sound, some capacitors)

  It s just a suggestion, but you could really give my hint a chance. ;)
  I would also try another HARD drive in this machine, maybe the controller from your old HARD drive disappeared...

  Welcome and appreciate all comments

• For Satellite L450 recovery disk does not work

  My laptop's daughter was so slow, that we decided to take it back to factory settings. There is no disk recovery with the laptop because it has the repair work however when we did the computer is no longer started upward and when we started it in safe mode, the repair option was gone!

  I've then went to Toshiba.eu and bought the recovery disc, seem to work, load files etc and then says loading windows, but the screen just goes black.

  I can't find a phone number or contact point on the invoice and if I will have to consider in a shop to repair I don t want to have paid for both disks that do not work!

  I do something wrong or can any one help?

  Thank you

  New laptops are available with preinstalled operating system and without recovery disk but in user s manual is clearly described that you can create this preinstalled software recovery disk Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  I m wondering really you didn't mark this option.

  In any case, try to reuse this disc to see if the problem occurs again and again. If you will not be able to install the original recovery image I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
