• Recovery disks will work on my new hard drive

  I bought recently a new Western Digital hard and I was wondering if I can use my recovery disks that I did on my old drive to the new drive, so it would normally be like my old drive before?

  Not quite, what you have to do is open the CD/DVD drawer, while the laptop is turned on, to leave the drawer open and tap down.

  Insert your first recovery DVDs and close the drawer.

  When look for a starting message down to bottom left of the screen that says "press the ESC key to start options" to do this, and you will have a number of choices. Go to f9 and press ENTER.

  Choose to boot from the CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and press to enter.

  Now, who will start in your first recovery DVDs. It ejects automatically when finished and ask for the other two.

  You could also simply start typing the key f9 to start upward, that you will also get the right window.

• Satellite A200-1TS - Win XP does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Dear Forum,

  My HD crashed, I installed a new, but XP will not recognize.
  I created a new partition with Partition wizard home edition, and with a Mini XP bootable CD I can access Hd, reading and writing, but if I try to install XP from the CD of origin of the system does not have a usable hard drive.
  Any part of the material blocking this new HD? How can I install windows XP on a hard disk new?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?
  Maybe you need to load the SATA driver?

• Portege R500-11Z: recovery disk to help prepare a new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive (SSD) for my R500-11Z and I put in an envelope with the USB cable before installation - I want to be able to format the drive and create a new copy of Windows XP before you get out of my existing hard drive.

  I'm looking for ways to use the recovery disk and it SEEMS that it should be possible... EXCEPT...

  I discovered that on the recovery disk there is an executable called recoUNPACK in the Tools folder, which should, in theory, restore the contents of the disc to the hard drive. However, because the new hard drive is plugged into my existing XP set up, he gets a folder called System Volume Information written in it. The presence of this file causes the recoUNPACK to fail. He gets, at 59%, every time, and then survey the error - System Volume Information already exists.

  Any person proposing the deletion of the folder should consider their knowledge of the XP - there is no way to do this, ask Mr. Google if you don't believe me. I also tried this with full of this folder write permissions so that, in theory, could replace recoUNPACK...

  I would be very grateful if someone knows a way of "forcing" crush the System Volume information folder or another way to 'restore' the recovery of my new hard drive disk (other that disassemble the laptop and substitute physically the disc!).

  I have reviewed various options for establishing a USB bootable drive, but as I will adapt it in my laptop I don't want running all versions of XP - so using the recovery disc supplied with my odd R500. All bootable USB I can find only programs, fat32 format, and I would stay in NTFS...

  And the reason why I want to do it this way, it is that I want to continue to use my existing hard drive until the news is ready - its supposed to be an effective way to work... but so far the time wasted, trying to restore the disks could have been better spent undoing the screws on the rear of the machine!

  Thanks in advance

  Hmm the right path and the letter of the partition or volume entitled did you use?

  As far as I know that the command should show something like this:

  + recounpack.exe d:\imagename.tpa z: f +.

  (z: is the letter of your external USB drive and may be different in your case)

• Pavilion P6-2260ea, recovery disks won't laod on new hard drive.

  I have a Pavilion P6-2260ea who started running very slowly and crash intermittently.  Self-assessment of DPS ran the disk, the drive specified result was suspect and should be replaced.  I bought a Seagate Barracuda SATA drive to replace the SATA Hitachi in the machine.  Unfortunately, that I had not created so recovery discs I bought at HP.

  The Seagate is now installed but when I put the recovery disk 1 in the drive ROM its starts to load windows files, then the error.  I ran the DPS Sef Test against the new drive and it is successful, then the new drive seems to be ok and recognized, I think?

  Windows is loading files...

  Windows Boot Manager

  Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

  This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as an external USB drive while the appliance is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM, which fails.  Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

  Status: 0xx00000e9

  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

  At any time the Ollie.

  I am pleased to have been of assistance.

  I forgot that your PC has usb ports 3.

  You cannot use those when you try to boot from a flash drive (at least not until the 3 Windows USB drivers are installed, which they were not).

  Sorry, the recovery disks did not work.  It was a lot of quid to spend on something that did not work!

• recovery disc will work with the new hard drive

  I have a HP Pavilion dm4. My hard drive died so I installed a new hard drive. The original operating system installed on the computer is Windows 7. I don't have a Windows 7 disc with the computer. If I order the Windows 7 HP recovery disk, it will install Windows 7 on my new hard drive? I got the info from COA. Thanks for any help you can provide.

  If the new hard drive is having even or a larger size than the old, recovery disks will reinstall the factory OS on your new drive.
  
  Thank you

• The recovery disks do not work for the hard drive replaced in my Presario CQ4010F desktop PC

  Hi all

  I have a Compaq Presario CQ4010F Desktop PC (Windows 7 64-bit) in which the hard drive went bad. I bought a new hard drive which is a 1 to, the failed drive was 500 GB. So, I ordered disks system recovery, four in total. The disk labeled 'Use this first!' appear to be running fine, then prompted me to launch the next disc, which I assume is the 1 of 3 system recovery disk. With the computer, always, I inserted the CD 1 of 3 and have waited and watched as nothing has happened. I restarted the PC with the 3 disc 1 again and that will inspire nothing happened. Any help is appreciated in this matter.

  Hello:

  If you can't get the recovery disks to work (don't make sure that the keyboard, mouse and monitor are connected), then you can make your own windows 7 installation DVD and use that to at least get windows 7 installed and your PC back to the operation.

  Here's how.

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• Satellite L305D-S5881 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  Ok. I've had this laptop for a while now.
  It crashed recently. So, I tried to start it up.
  I got "Winload.exe missing or damaged".

  Fortunately, I found an answer to this!
  I got the Vista installation disc and inserted.
  I had this "PAGE_ERROR_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I fixed too. Stick of 1 GB of RAM to my computer was bad.

  So I replaced it. And during the installation, it hangs. And beeps and undesirable.
  So I thought it was my hard drive. I have a new. (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=431567 please TAKE a LOOK BEFORE RESPONDING).

  I (try) to install and it does nothing.
  I turn it on and it goes to this page with as my enthernet info. Then I go into the BIOS and it appears. I think I could install it wrong.

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that the new HARD drive is not recognized, because you have not installed the SATA drivers!
  The new mobile phones support the new SATA controller and especially the drivers are not included in the Windows operating system.

  So, you must first include the SATA drivers before install you the operating system.
  AFAIK the L305D supports an AMD and ATI chipset and SATA drivers must be placed in the ATI graphics driver package.

  On the other hand, you could install the operating system without the use of SATA drivers.
  I think that the BIOS must contain the SATA mode option. Usually it s set to AHCI. Pass this option in compatibility mode and you should be able to install the operating system.

• Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

  I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
  I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

  The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
  Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

  Hello

  Don t need to change BIOS settings

  As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
  What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

  The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

  More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

• Satellite 2805-S603 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  The old HDD that laptop died a horrible, another bougth - HM040HC (PATA) of Samsung, but the HARD drive is not set! What?
  Too recent for 2805 controller?

  This HARD disk supports an ATA-5 interface and about 30GB.

  If you want to be sure that the HARD drive works in your laptop 100% please contact the service provider authorized in your country and order the HARD drive support.

• Windows 7 does not recognize the new hard drive during installation

  My Pavilion hard drive died.  I ordered a new identical and it arises.  Windows 7 starts to load (since a key USB as my DVD died a long time ago) and gets it Windows on the screen asking me to select a player.  But there is no choice to drive in the menu and I can't go any further.  Is the new drive dead too?  Someone suggested that I need to reinstall a 'chip game' and if that's the problem, how to do that?  Thank you!!

  I'm glad that the hard drive is seen now.  To the extent where the DVD player, if you have purchased a new DVD player for the laptop, and you have it installed, then there is something else involved here.  In this MANUAL, it seems that it is just a simple operation change out.  Must be another reason it does not work or is recognized in the BIOS.

• Satellite L350-235 a restore disk runs on a brand new HARD drive?

  Hello

  My hard drive is dead (completely) 3 days out of warranty.
  Recovery discs has not yet loaded, all I had was a black screen and a mouse pointer.

  So I bought a new hard drive. Problem I have now is how to install Windows on a new drive.
  What should I get Toshiba?

  I obviously paid for Windows Vista, when I bought the laptop, so I'm a little confused on what to do next.
  A restore disk will work on a whole new drive?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Didn t drive recovery does not happen with the laptop because you had an option to create one using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  You now have this disc which can be ordered here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
  The recovery disk works also with the new HARD drive!

• Backup Win XP does not recognize my external hard drive

  Windows XP Backup Wizard does not recognize my external hard drive and does not list it as an option for storing backups.  I suspect a registry problem because the backup wizard previously recognized this drive and saved on it several times before I was running ARO 2012 for cleaning the registry errors.  I can always open the player in windows Explorer and see the files it contains, but Explorer Windows XP now lists the drive as an "expansion disc" instead of a 'removable disk '.  When I right click in windows Explorer and open 'properties' for this drive, it shows it as a 'local disk' instead of a 'removable disk '.  The drive is ok when I click the button 'Remove hardware safely', and it reports "safe to remove hardware" after I click on "USB storage device - Drive (J :). ».  Help!

  Who did.  Thank you!  Now... I used Aero2012 to clean up the errors in my registry that's because my computer is desperately slow, especially when you start (8-10 minutes) and also with internet explore (move cursor to previous typos when you compose a new e-mail message).  Is there a safe way for me to speed up my computer?

• File Manager XP PRO SP3 will not recognize USB floppy A: drive

  File Manager XP PRO SP3 will not recognize USB floppy A: drive

  The system tray alerts "new hardware found" and "installed".

  In the system. material | Device Manager | floppy drives, the disk is present, activated and works

  If I pay BACK the drive is located and can be read and written.

  The drive is not the case in (windows explorerer file manager.

  The drive is not present in administrative tools. computer management | storage | removalable storage | libraries.

  In the removable storage service is started.

  If bottom line, the usb floppy is a material recognized, works under DOS, but there is no access to XP.

  This happens with two floppies different usb connected directly to a laptop (not a hub). When connecting to another XP computer, the disks are immediately recognized in the file manager and work as expected.

  Any ideas?

  It's embarrassing, BUT I solved the problem by using TweakIU. It seems that in the workstation. The floppy drives were not verified. Verification of A & B readers did the trick.
