• Cannot complete the recovery process after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I changed my hard drive it for 15 days because he showed abnormalities, so I bought a new hard drive Seagate Western brand with the same technical characteristics as the existing hard drive (product for the product).

  I was then on TOSHIBA HDD RECOVERY to burn to CD system recovery disks, then I went to replace the hard drive.

  After the change, I raised my PC with system restore CD.
  The procedure is successfully completed and orders of comments asking me to remove the disk and restart the PC.

  I raise the PC, everything goes well, launch windows, installation of perfect records system then comes the stage of installation and settings of the system here after the error message:

  "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on the hardware in the computer."

  Then it asks me to restart, then it comes back every time on this message, I'm stuck on this step.
  I tried to change the mode of the disc source hard 'compatibility' instead of 'AHCI' but it's even worse, it completely without error buggy.

  Please give me an explanation of this phenomenon.

  Sincerely.

  Guillaume

  Have you tried to repeat the whole recovery procedure?
  If this is not the case, do.

  I recommend to format the whole HARD drive and create an NTFS partition.
  Then start the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.

  I read about the problem of disk HARD similar in the past and especially NFS partition creation has helped to solve these problems.

• With the help of product recovery CD when the hard drive replaced

  Hi all

  It seems that my hard drive is defective, so I bought a replacement, installed in the laptop OK and tried to use the Toshiba product recovery disc. The laptop started with the disc OK and recovery of product starting screen appeared and I started the process. The process starts, but then crashes and no matter how much time wait nothing further happens.

  I put the defective hard drive, back to and started on the recovery disk and it started and the process started OK.

  The recovery disc can not be used on a replacement hard drive? Surely, this is possible, as hard drives do fail and must be replaced.

  Can someone tell me how to fix it please?

  Thanks in advance!

  In General, you can use recovery image after replacing HARD drive. I did the same thing on my machine.
  It was: is the new HARD drive recognized properly? After Exchange of HDD enter BIOS and check this.
  Before you begin the recovery image installation if please try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try reinstalling the recovery image.

• How to copy the recovery on the new HARD drive partition, HARD drive failed?

  Hallo,

  I have a Compaq Mini netbook with Windows 7 Starter.

  The HARD drive has failed and it is not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.

  I want to buy a new HARD drive, install the driver on the netbook, and then use the tools/recovery partition to install windows 7 on a new PC.

  So, the question is simple: how to copy the recovery for the new HARD drive partition?

  Hello s91066.

  If your hard drive of your laptop doesn't have? If this is the case, what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok? I doubt that this laptop has two hard disks, so if you are able to see this partition of your hard drive may still work.

  You will need a set of recovery disks to restore the partitions on the new drive. If you can start Windows, which you can probably not with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.

  If you are unable to boot into Windows, you need a set of disks. You can order it directly from HP. The number of the United States / Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another domain, you must visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your region.

  I hope that is useful; have a great weekend!

• Time Machine backup to two separate hard drives

  I want to have two full backups separately on two different hard drives, and I want to Time Machine for updating each drive separately so I always complete backup two drives.  How is that possible?

  Depending on what version of operating system you use, go to System Preferences/Time Machine and click on add or remove backup disks. After you add the first diskette, click again and add a second drive. The ability to add 2 or more drives has been implemented in Mountain Lion.

• What are the BCD entries to TWO instances of dual boot of Vista professional in TWO separate hard drives?

  What are the BCD entries to TWO instances of dual boot of Vista professional in TWO separate hard drives? -Dell Vostro 1710, my wife had to be returned to Dell, I installed its Vostro hard drive in my Dell Vostro 1710 SAME, but I don't get a menu starting double when I turn on my Vostro.

  The easiest way is to use the DualBoot Pro.  He has the tools to write the necessary code automatically.  It is excellent for managing the tasks you want to do.

  However, you have a potential license problem.  Even if your Dell has the exact code in the BIOS to activate the copy of Windows on the hard drive of your wife, the computer is only allowed for an OEM copy.  If Dell is back after repairs then you should be OK once you have turned on the hard disk in his computer of your wife. You can delete the entry of additional start with DualBoot Pro menu,

• With the help of recovery on the new hard drive disks

  Hello

  I have an old t160.uk of Pavilion.  The hard disk starts to sound a bit grumpy.  I have a spare I want to replace it with.  Can I create recovery discs using the partition, and then replace the hard drive and reinstall windows xp on the new drive? or the recovery disks only works on the original hard drive?

  See you soon,.

  Hirroshi wrote: what determines if the new hard drive will be compatible with the recovery disk?  Could I connect the new hard drive in another Bay and try to use the recovery disk, before removing my old hard drive?

  Hello Hirroshi, it seems that drives hard very little HP only work in an HP computer, or so I said. I think it has to do with some code that HP puts in the Master Boot Record, but that's just a guess. I read on the Forum that this is the case.

  I suggest that you delete the partition on the replacement hard drive, and then create a new partition and format the hard drive. You should be able to use the recovery disk, if they are not damaged and that you have a valid burn.

  You can try to install the replacement hard drive in the system you propose, and it can work very well. It's certainly worth a try.

  Here is a link that shows how to perform a recovery facility when a hard drive is replaced.

• recovery after replacing the hard drive - pavillion dv6 notebook

  Hello

  I'm about to replace a defective hard drive on my pc, but I'm not sure how to continue the process of windows recovery. I was wondering if I need to contact HP for recovery set despite the fact that I have a recovery disk (D :) on my laptop. I replace the local hard drive (c :)) and I was wondering if the recovery on my pc drive is enough to drive the recovery process?)

  Thanks for your help,

  Hello

  The recovery is actually just a partition on the same physical drive as your operating system, so when the HARD drive is replaced, it will be gone, however there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition D.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct disk Image ( must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - IE Home Premium, professional etc. ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  You may need, additional drivers and software are in entering either the complete model number or product of your series dv6 notebook no here.

• Re: Satellite A65 will start not because of recovery CD formats the HARD drive?

  1. my Satellite A65 WinXP seems to be corrupted and does not start.
  2. my system is dual-boot, Windows XP (16 GB) and Xandros Linux (24 GB)
  3 Xandros boots. Windows XP has been removed from the start menu.
  4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will enter and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?
  5. are there instructions online for the recovery CD?

  > 4. If I run the Toshiba Recovery CD, it will seize and reformat the whole disc or only the first partition WinXP?

  Well, if you have an older version of recovery which provides two options; standard recovery and recovery expertise, so you could choose the partition on which the operating system must be installed and ONLY that partition is erased and formatted.

  But if you, recovery CD doesn t contains options then the recovery CD will format the entire HARD drive!

  So be careful

• Satellite L670D - issue of recovery on the new HARD drive

  Hi all.

  I actually sent this support Toshiba has a few days ago, but still have received no response and thought I would try this forum.

  That's the problem; the hard drive of my laptop is a failure, I had warnings to create a backup and replace the drive hard as soon as possible. I have done this and have mounted with success the computer with a new brand Hitachi 500 GB hard drive, with no problems.

  Then, I entered the program installation and makes the dvd the first boot drive. The first disc of recovery in the drive and it starts perfectly and started the process. I then went through the recovery procedure with the DVD 3 x on my computer, it seemed to work flawlessly, and after inserting all 3 disks in the order as requested, I was instructed to remove the final support.

  I have reset the boot hard drive and windows started normally until I got to this point. "the installation program starts services. Then comes a pop-up window saying; "windows could not complete the installation, to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer.

  Of course I tried to start in a few other ways to the f8 advanced boot options, but he always does this same thing.

  I can't imagine what the problem is that everything seems to go well until this?

  Hope you can help me solve this problem.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Only thing I would say is that you need to install recovery image again. Please try it out and post comments.
  It will be interesting to know if the same thing will happen again.

• Satellite C650, media recovery fails after replacing HARD drive

  I have a 3 years C650, and the HARD drive has failed. I got a replacement drive and sorts to recover from the recovery media disks that I created and although he claimed to have re - partition the drive and reinstalled windows, windows startup fails when tried to configure the devices "could not configure windows to run on this hardware.

  After this error, the boot sequence goes into an endless loop, asking to start the installation procedure.

  Thinking that my records may have been corrupted, I ordered a set of Toshiba recovery disks. Once again, these go through the recovery process and still once, Windows startup does not exactly in the same place.

  A little annoying to have spent £30 for nothing.

  I have a picture of Windows system on my external HARD drive, but I can't get the machine to a point where it will actually start so I can recover from that.

  Any suggestions on how to proceed is welcome!

  Thank you
  Martin

  Hello

  Of course, this isn't a problem of recovery disk.
  I guess there is a problem with the HARD drive but I n t think that the HARD drive has failed I think there is a problem of setting

  First, you should go to BIOS and check if the SATA set to AHCI.
  Then you should also format the HARD drive again.

  I recommend to use the freeware tool called GParted. You could create a live USB stick bootable flash memory which will allow you to start the unit and start GParted tool.
  Format the HARD drive, and then create a partition.

  After that, take the recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.
  Good luck
