• Need help: invalid system disk error

  I must have left my laptop on the week last with only a small battery backup as victory, that I woke up in the morning, he had absolutely no power.  When I plugged the laptop and I tried to reboot it wasn't going to the normal microsoft vista home page.

  Instead of this turned back or the system bios and on the top of the screen, he said.  Invalid system disk error.  I pressed ESC and immediately thereafter loaded up normally.  Once on the page of windows, he showed he was about 8 windows updates.  (this every way - when I left my computer on automatic update of windows, running and starting to update my computer.  Since I only had a remaining battery minimum computer must have lost all power during the update.  Because update has not been completely loaded my computer now has a problem starting).

  Whenever I turn on computer, need me the black screen with the comment of the system disk error.  While hitting escape when this screen is easy to do and makes windows vista starts normally - I'd rather have a completely normal vista installation program.

  Help, please.

  What should I do?

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• Portege 660CDT "non system disk error"!

  I just bought a used 660CDT and placed a new hard drive in it. Now, I can't load an OS due to this "Invalid System Disk" error. I tried to Boot on my XP Cd, but all the same. I tried to boot from a Disk Norton and nothing more... I have no idea what is wrong...
  I made sure the Bios is set to start first with the drive and not the HARD drive.
  I would use this system someday, but right now I don't see what is happening.
  If anyone can help I would like to thank very you much.

  Thank you

  Hi Robert

  AFAIK This oldie can treat only 1.3 GB HARD drive. How much capacity has a new HARD drive?
  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what is the problem, because who knows what you do exactly and what operating system you want to use. Just for info. This old Portege comes with Windows 95 and you should try to use the same operating system.

  "Invalid system disk error means that Windows Setup could not copy the system files on the hard drive.

  Also, check the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU and under archive, you will find some useful stuff for this old book.

  Good luck!

• LAN and PCMCIA satellite 1700-300

  Hi, I have a 1700-300 machine I upgraded to Win XP. I tried to connect to the internet through the LAN port directly into my router, but can't find any reference to local network settings or network on your laptop. Any ideas?

  I thought I would try my Belkin PCMCIA wireless card, but cannot get to be recognized!

  There, someone can help me! See you soon.

  Hello Erika

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that your device has no network adapter and you must use an alternative like the PCMCIA card.

  As far as I know your unit is shipped with Windows ME and I really don t think that hardware configuration is not one that is suitable for Windows XP Home (not a lot of RAM) and I think that unity will be very slow.

  Anyway, in my opinion, you should try other card (another producer). One of my friends had the same problem with the Belkin card.

  Good bye

• Satellite 210ct does not start - insert system disk and press a key

  I have a very old laptop and want to move down. It is a 210ct Satellite. When I start upward, he goes and initializes memory and then after about five minutes, to be on that screen it said to insert system disk and press a key...

  It is not the disk hard as I tried it in another laptop and work very well. And then just sitting there.

  I really want to make it work again!

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me the description sounds like the laptop can not find an OS on the HARD disk bootable.
  The laptop trying to boot from the HARD drive and Windows has not been installed on the HARD disk or portable computer booting from the drive, but the environment is not bootable.

  Have you tried to boot from the recovery delivered CD or have you tried to reinstall the operating system?

• Get the message of invalid system disk

  When I turn on my computer I get a black screen which includes the message 'no system disk. Replace the drive. "A press any". I had this p7-1020 since August without problem. This is to say that today.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello:

  You have a CD in your CD drive or a floppy disk in the floppy drive?

  If this is not the case, go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen.  If there is a hard drive diagnostic menu, run to check your hard drive.

  Hard drive or damage failure may be a cause of this message.

  The PC is looking for a drive (or the boot device) boot from and can not find a.

• Malicious software removal tool and system disk errors

  I ran a full Scan with the MRT tool last night and noticed that there are a bunch of disk errors in the observer of events during the same time period. Is there a reason that this may be the result of the analysis? Running the disk errors and tool MRT in Event Viewer.

  Disk errors can be supported if it is a simple configuration problem,

  But if its due to "bad sectors" on the hard drive, then the hd is a failure. Or the other

  for example, to chk on the hd & fix, go to run, type: cmd cmd, type:

  CHKDSK C: /F agree to restart, type: EXIT restart pc... The disk check

  work on restarting the pc, once he finishes, look at the data "bad sectors", if its zero, then

  you are in ok shape...

• Satellite 1700-300: No. Lan port in Device Manager

  Hi Forum.

  I am currently repairing a 300-1700-Sat and reinstalling windows ME (Yuk I know but that's the preference of customers), however it does not show that there is any ethernet on the system hardware. There is an ethernet port on the back of the laptop, but it just does not appear in Device Manager.

  My first was, however, that it can be disabled in the Bios, I checked and there is no option for ethernet.

  Any idea people?

  Hello

  I'm not an expert, but you are sure that the laptop has a LAN port to 100%?
  The laptop is an oldie. That's why I didn't find a lot of information in the internet, but I studied a bit and found that the device supports only:
  Parallel port, PS/2 mouse or keyboard, 2 x USB modem RJ11, speaker/headphone, microphone (no internal) port, PCMCIA port and external monitor port of CRT.
  There is nothing of LAN port

• Satellite C660-24F: win 10 BSOD - system thread exception unhandled

  I upgraded my Toshiba Satellite C660-24F to windows 10 pro. After the upgrade it restarts again and again showing the dead blue screen with the message
  SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. (athwbx.sys). How can I get rid of this error?

  athwbx.sys which is mentioned in your message, belongs to the Atheros WLan driver...

  So, I think that the BSOD appeared because of compatibility problems between the Win 10 and driver Atheros...

  Possible solution:

  I think that deletion of the Atheros driver in Device Manager should help you to solve this...

  Please keep the device connected to the internet using LAN.

  So after uninstalling the Atheros WLan driver and you restarted the laptop, Win 10 should automatically find a driver compatible WLan to internet automatically...

• Satellite C660 - 23 M Windows 7 hard disk error

  I've only had my laptop (Satellite C660 - 23M) for three months, I started to have problems with him about a week earlier, including a time Blue Screen of Death, but I got the computer Safe Mode and did a system restored and it has been fine since then. Then earlier today, I had a Windows hard drive error, telling me to back-up and then repair or replace the hard drive. The back-up goes on an external hard drive as we speak, so fingers crosssed I can't stand to lose all my data.

  I created a disk backup media when I got to the laptop but every time I tried with validation, it would fail, but in time, I don't think I should be so little time, just so created a non-validated copy and thought that would be nice (I'm now concerned!).

  Should I restore my hard drive? If so, how? What has caused this? And because it is only 3 months old, am I stuck with a laptop to duff who will continue to break down on me?

  Hello

  In your case, I would recommend to check the capacity of the HARD drive.
  This can be done using the freeware tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Utility.
  I guess that this software can help detect HARD drive errors.

  If the HARD drive would be affected, then you need to replace the HARD drive.
  Here you will find a nice instruction how to do this:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=138

  the laptop seems to be covered by the warranty, if the HARD drive can be replaced under term average conditions, this can be done free of charge
  I would recommend asking the ASP (partner in your country) for this HARD drive they could send you this HDD.

• I try to remove the system disk error memory dump files clean up, usually around 350 MB but not cleaning cleaning!

  How can I get rid of these files? What do I do? seems to be a waste of space if I don't empty them.

  Hi russellinspain,

  Run the disk cleanup utility should delete these files. You can remove the files if you want to save space on the hard disk.

  Try to delete the files as an administrator. To do this, try the following steps.
  a. Click Start, type disk cleanup, click with the right button on disk cleanup and click Run as administrator.
  b. place a checkmark on "System error memory dump files"
  c. click ok and check if the files are deleted successfully.

• Disk error non system at boot when using the external USB disk

  Hello

  I use Windows 7 Pro.  I have a Seagate external USB disk causing a "Non-system disk error" at startup.
  I had the same problem with a Clickfree drive.
  The problem occurs on my other PC with different versions of Windows.
  How can I get my computer to start and not give me this error message for my backup drive?
  At startup (when the drive disconnected), I get a screen of BACK indicating "Client Mac Addr."... GUID..., DHCP. "I think it's looking for a disk boot from.
  I just need to boot from the internal hard drive.
  Thank you
  AS

  USB external references aren't desingned to be connected on startup, you must also use the safely remove the procedure and disconnect the USB key before closing.

  If you get such a screen "Client Mac Addr... etc" at the start (with usb unplugged), looks like you are using a very old motherboard. If the system starts only with connected usb, then your initial installation of victory is defective or damaged

  Hello

  Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
  This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

  By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

• "Non-system disk" - Satellite 4100XCDT

  I recently acquired an old Toshiba Satellite 4100XCDDT. When I turn it on, it says:

  "Non-system disk".
  "Replace the disk and then press a button any."

  I know that the HARD drive has been formatted and he lost the operating system on it. I tried to insert the copy of Windows 98se that accompanies it, but nothing happens. I think it's looking for a floppy disk. Everything that goes with it have been the copy of Windows 98se, a charger and the laptop. I have no idea of specs is because I havn't been able to run it again. Can you help me?

  Hello

  Especially this message appears if the laptop can not find a bootable data carrier or the CD-ROM or the HARD drive is not able to start.
  You have a boyfriend of good feelings. If you want to install the Win98, you first of all the accompanying disk. (see the page of the Toshiba driver)

  The accompanying disk contains programs to set up Toshiba computers
  installation information and test equipment. It also contains files and utilities that allow you to get the most out of your Toshiba computer and are capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the Toshiba computer during the boot process.

  If you have not already done so, put this disk in the A: floppy drive
  Restart your computer by pressing CTRL-ALT-DELETE. This will activate the Toshiba companion disk utility.

  If you need access to your CD-ROM drive, then remove the word "rem" out the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

  REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)
  REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

  good luck my friend ;)
