Satellite A10: Cannot recover system with recovery CD

Hej everyone!

I was struggling with a strange problem lately, I can not understand yet, so if anyone has any ideas so pls...

I have 2 laptops Satellite A10. I lost the CD of recovery to one of them, so when I tried to reinstall the laptop I decided to use the other one recovery CD to do that because they are the same... at least I thought they were...

I repartitioned the laptop with fdisk and made the partition active, formatted and then when I boot with the recovery CD, it began, began to dump files, but about 20%, he just say 'impossible recovery' or something "partition is not active" and restart. When I rebooted, it saw that the format of the C partition was gone (he said unformated or damaged partition).

Now, I tried 1 partition, 2 partitions, FAT32 and NTFS, no joy... I think you must have some special configuration of partitions to ensure the success of the recovery, but I don't know how.

I have not tried to reinstall the other laptop with the recovery CD because I'm afraid that it's too bad...
Can someone help me pls?

Hello Linus

Before you begin the recovery procedure, it can't do anything. Simply start the recovery procedure. I don't really know why the recovery procedure stops after 20%, but please do not prepare HARD drive before using the recovery procedure delivered.

If I remember well you have two options before the start of the recovery procedure: standard and expert mode. If you use the standard mode is wiped the entire HARD drive and recovery image will create a partition (the whole HARD disk capacity). Using expert mode you can create a clean partition and later in management of the disks (under WXP) create the second logical partition.

Please try both options. If the recovery CD is not damaged I really don't see any reason why the recovery procedure can be done successfully.

  • Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

    Heres one in your brain is going...

    I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

    Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

    The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

    Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

    However...

    When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

    Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

    If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
    The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

    This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

    This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

    Any suggestions would be welcome

    Hello

    Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
    I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

    To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

    > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
    Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?

  • Envy 14 K110nr: Cannot recover system recovery media, associated with PININST_BBV

    I have a HP Evny 14 K110nr. In short, the system upgraded to Windows 10, started acting weird about a month after:
    Lose access to resources (Task Manager, desktop, Control Panel, etc.)
    Defective devices (wifi, bluetooth, etc.), suspended connections, System Restore gave a lot of mistakes.

    Tried to fix the system, nothing worked (even the DISM restorhealth was not working and suspended 40%)

    Long story short, I tried to recover the hd partition and could not complete successfully, same thing happened with my recovery media.

    At the end of the recovery attempt, I get a BSOD and system resets. It was a loop like that for awhile.

    Ran Diagnostics, no errors, but I suspect it was the HARD drive as the mentioned system errors on it before the collapse.

    I replaced the HARD drive and started the process again, this time I have not received any BSOD, but after completitng, I get a message saying that the recovery was incomplete. Just now my system is a Clipboard and consider Ubuntu if I can't up the widows, but it makes no sense. I read through several threads that referred to this issue and I don't know if I've seen any absolute solution to this issue (none have worked for me so far). Here are a few:

    You have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the HP Forums.

    I understand that you upgraded to Windows 10 and then the system started acting weird about a month later with the loss of resources. and malfunctioni devices. You tried to do a restore but received many errors.  Then, you tried to do a system repair, but no luck. You tried to do a recovery from recovery and recovery but Media Manager once again without success.  At the end of the restore process, you have a blue screen and the system resets and goes in a loop.  You have run a complete diagnosis and all spent and that you have received error on the HARD disk before you replace it.

    You proceeded to redo recovery and you do not have the BSOD, but after, you have received the message that the recovery was incomplete.

    Here is a link to HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 8) computers that can help.

    You can also try booting in safe mode.  HP computers - Windows Safe Mode (Windows, 10, 8).

    If the problem persists I try to clean the optical drive, and then try using the recovery again.  You can try to clean it with compressed air or a disc to clean the disc. Also, check your disk recovery for stains or damage.

    You can also try to boot any disk from Windows and reformatting the drive to start over with the recovery.

    If it breaks down again it is likely that the discs and you will need a recovery kit.

  • Satellite A100: How to reinstall the operating system with recovery CD?

    Hi guys,.

    My laptop (8 months) has been crashing (Windows XP) lately and I tried to use the product recovery CD but nothing happened (the laptop failed to boot from the CD, instead, she starts toward the window of connection for Windows XP Home edition). When I open the CD in windows Explorer, then I realized it was empty. Is it supposed to be empty?

    Even if the laptop came with a second CD, "Express Media Player Recovery CD", I think that's going to be for recovering pre-installed software supplied with the system.

    I guess I can contact Toshiba for another free product recovery CD (or are they supposed to be two?) my system is still under warranty.

    Please I need confirmation on this asap.

    Post edited by: [email protected]_UK

    Hello

    It's very strange, I can't believe that the Toshiba Recovery CD is empty!
    There must certainly be a ghost image.
    Very, very strange and mysterious

    The Express Media Player recovery CD retrieves only the Media Express Player but not the entire operating system!
    I also recommend to ask the ASP in your country for a replacement CD recovery.
    Perhaps you could send guys the empty recovery CD because they do not believe! ;)

  • Satellite U400 cannot create DVDs of recovery with the recovery disk creator

    Hello

    I have a Satellite U400 (a few years), and I never created the recovery DVDs.
    Now I want to do, but for some reason, when I run creator of Toshiba Recovery disk, nothing happens...
    The partition containing the files of recovery is there, as well as the folder HDDRecovery. I have add a few files on this partition, this could be the problem?

    Thanks for your help.

    > I have some files on this partition, this could be the problem?
    N ° if you didn t change the partition structure should not be the problem.

    It is: does this Toshiba recovery disc creator market or not? If you can not star this tool has nothing to do with the recovery files.
    You will find this file - C:\Program Toshiba Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator\TRORDCLauncher.exe?

  • Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

    Hello

    After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

    After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

    Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

    Hello

    Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
    If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

    But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
    Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

    The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
    Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
    If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Satellite C650 - cannot access the HDD recovery to restore Win7

    Satellite C650

    Windows partition has been destroyed, I have a copy of the recovery of HARD drive to an external drive, but using a disc of windows7 to start on windows does not recognize the recovery of hard drive as being any information system so will not restore the original windows and Toshiba Utilities.

    Press F8 and keeps O press the button of not raising the the menu with the option to restore.

    No clue as to how I can extract / use HARD drive recovery I

    Thank you

    Problem is this recovery saved disk image external DRIVE cannot be used. In s manuals document is clearly described that the owner of the laptop must create recovery media. This recovery media can be a DVD disc or USB key, depending on the model of laptop.

    What you can do now is to restore disc original order or to install the clean version of the OS with installation of Microsoft disk but it is also not the best solution.

    What do you think of all this? If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite L300 - cannot enter Windows and recovery disk will not stand

    Good evening

    I have a Satellite L300. A month ago, I bought and install an upgrade to Windows 7 (I had Vista). Last night, my laptop was working fine and this morning when I opened it I got this error:

    BOOTMGR is corrupt. the system cannot start.

    I did some research and tried to boot from the recovery disc. Laptop computer the disc I get the windows is looding files screen and then a company Microsoft is displayed with a bar above it and then I get a blue screen that says:

    PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED vista

    Now what can I do to reformat my computer and reinstall if I can't load the recovery disc!

    I tried to put my DVD of Vista I have for my other PC, but I have another error black screen...

    Can someone tell me what I can do now?

    Is it because I have a recovery CD for Windows Vista and not 7?

    Okay, so I read several post here and the only thing I can't think is the hard drive... but it had already changed a few months ago by Toshiba... now my laptop is not less guarantee more with Toshiba, but I have an extended warranty with my VISA... If anyone has any idea here, I'll try to bring it where they change HARD drive the last time...

  • Satellite U940 - 11b - need help with recovery files

    Madam/Sir,

    I have a question about a failure U940 - 11 c.

    The laptop crashed after be closed during recovery of windows procedures. I think that Windows is damaged, as a result, the laptop no longer starts. When turing the laptop on the following message is displayed: reboot and select proper boot device. See the image below:

    Files on the hard drive are very precious to me, so the hard drive can not be reset until I got the files. I tried to recover the boot files Ubuntu from a USB flash drive. Ubuntu began without any difficulty. The problem is that Ubuntu is not able to find the Windows hard disk. From Gparted, the following errors occurred:

    1. WARNING: / dev/sda contains the signatures of TPG, indicating that she has a GPT table. However, it doesn't have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. Maybe it has been altered - possibly by a program that does not include the GPT partition tables. Or maybe you deleted the table GPT and are now using a msdos partition table. It is a GPT partition table? :

    2. the GPT backup table is not at the end of the disc, as it should. This may mean another operating system to think that the drive is smaller. FIS, by moving the backup at the end (and revmoving the old backup)? :

    3. not all the space available to/dev/sdb appears to be used, van correct you the GPT to use all the space (special edition 39007920 blocks) or continue with the current configuration? :

    4. the disk is allocated:

    Do you have tips or advice that could help me get the files from the hard drive. I do not understand the errors and will not be able to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I suggest that you use the tool to disks in Ubuntu to mount your Windows partition.
    If the partition is damaged in an aborted recovery (or other reason), you will need to invest a lot of time and effort to successfully recover your data.

  • Satellite P200-RT2 - need help with recovery

    I made a Boo-Boo and need advice/help to get things fixed.

    My husband has a Satellite P200-RT2 running Win XP 32 bit (included with Vista, but had been upgraded). The battery needs to be replaced, does not load and he made the mistake to disconnect while it was closing, but had not closed completely. Laptop computer would not start even in Safe Mode.

    So, I thought to try to insert a disc Win XP Pro thought, he would work to restart the computer and start again. No, he took over and completely restructured the laptop. If great, now have Win XP Pro on it, but can not load all Toshiba drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site.

    I was not in a position to know if there is a specific order to load the drivers... have been reading and wonder if the BIOS should be the first?

    Needless to say that the Toshiba recovery software went on the P200-RT2, I can't find a separate drive that supposedly it contains, there are only two listed drives, drive C and D (for DVDs).

    Toshiba tells me that Microsoft sells the recovery software, MS told me that Toshiba sells. There are sites online that have the recovery disc for Vista I could buy or download, but I'm not sure on those that are reliable/safe.

    Have to mention that I have a Toshiba laptop latest (L675 - 40 X, Win 7) and have the recovery disc for it.

    Is it possible to use these recovery disks for Toshiba software loaded on the old P200-RT2?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    If I could get the XPPro to work, which would leave as OS... but I don't know where to find the drivers.

    Satellite P200 - RT2 PSPB0C is a Canadian model.
    But the same model was released in Europe under the model number:E PSPB0

    I can't say for sure why this happens. Try to please several times and don't forget, it stops every time after 25%. Post the output please.

  • Pavilion dv6t-2000 - cannot recover from the recovery partition

    Hey there. I'm trying to restore my laptop with Win 7 settings, but I can't seem to restore from my recovery partition. I tried the F8, F11 key and on the ways to office with no luck. In some of them, recovery option is grayed out, but using the recovery on the Desktop Manager, I have recovery option, but he says to insert disk 1 before continuing. I have no disc and I already have a previous restoration set the last time I got my laptop (about 2 years ago).

    When I click on my computer I see the c drive and d drive - what is labeled a recovery partition. I did a check of the recovery partition and there are no errors. It seems to work fine, except that my laptop is not to be used to recover. I know it's a major road, so I've never tested with it.

    Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated

    It is more likely that some of the files were corrupted on the recovery partition. At this point, since you have no recovery disc, I would phone HP to order recovery media.
