Satellite A100: Cannot install recovery after having deleted the Ubuntu partition

Hello friends,

I have the Satellite A 100. I was using dual OS - windows vista home edition and Ubuntu. Now I wanted to remove Ubuntu and so I did the stupidest thing - directly delete the partition with Ubuntu which had the GRUB files. Then to the laptop computer restart of course the Grub bootloader wasn't there and if the computer is not started or load any OS. Then I thought that I will reinstall Vista with product recovery CD but the progress reached at 2% and then I keep getting error 1117 a failure to read. I tried so many times without success. I even tried to install XP, but it says Intel boot agent cannot make connection. And it also fails.

Please help to reinstall Vista or XP. I'm really stuck and I learned a lesson not to tinker in mobile when it isn't those of Cup of tea!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

> Now if I download EasyBCD how would I be able to run it or how should I use it?
You will not be able to run EasyBCD because you are not able to boot Vista.
EasyBCD can be installed only in Vista and will allow you to change the Vista Boot Manager.

I think you need to format the entire disk HARD again should erase all partitions and must attempt to reinstall Vista.

I recommend using a free tool called GParted LiveCD. Google for what it helps format the HARD drive!

    If you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a record of startup repair.

    If you follow the instructions to bleepingcomputer link below:

    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.

  • What Linked Clone VM after having deleted the Parent model?

    Hi all

    I deleted the models and all VM related clones still works fine

    Looks like that model files still sitting on the data store.

    It will be really difficult for me to keep track of which is where?

    It will be really useful if we could come up with a report or something to achieve exact file structures

    Thank you

    As long as a VMDK is necessary for all child VM still in Lab Manager (or a child of this VM) it will stay on the drive in its original folder.  You can eliminate some of the records/VMDK by consolidating the configurations that have been cloned from a template.  We do it with most of the configurations captured at the library.  You must be careful if or it will cost you a lot of space if

    In Lab Manager you can see this in a graphical representation on the way to resources, Datatstores and then choose the data store for configuration model / you want to watch.  The mouse on the virtual machine, and then select the context.  Not only that you get a graphical view, but when you hover over each box it tells you the name of the folder and the size of it.  He also tells

    I've been searching in the database to figure out how I can get this information and export it.  I'm only able to track down the parent folder for a current VM inside Lab Manager so far and not the parent of one that no longer exists (but always as a linked clone).

  • Satellite M70 - cannot install recovery disc

    Hello

    I had to remove the drive HARD Toshiba Satellite M70 for use on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after you have 2 left and used with a Compaq laptop with no problems. Now, I had a new HARD drive for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.

    Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.

    I have the recovery DVD-ROM product. F12 abd selection cd/dvd would not recovery.
    Error loading operating system is the message I get.

    I can even install with my other XP pro original cd.

    Once I put the HARD return drive to Compaq its job very well, I can even install XP.

    What is the cause. Is that it has nothing to do with the MBR?
    I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!

    Thank you all,.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    In my opinion, the case is clear. If you install the laptop with a normal installation of Microsoft disk and the HARD disk works fine in another computer it something wrong with the Toshiba Recovery disk, maybe it s scratched.

    What you can do is to install the laptop using the disc of Microsoft. Then download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

    Alternative order you a new drive for recovery of an authorized service provider.

    It of your choice what you do. ;)

  • Cannot install windows after reset of the partition

    I've literally been sitting to my macbook for the last 10 hours trying to get my bootcamp at work, however after tons of things difficult and research I found online I'm always at a loss. Initially, I had installed windows 7 a few weeks ago for the second time (after that yosemite deleted my previous one during the upgrade) and everything was fine. Then, I took the decision to uninstall my windows because I really wanted to expand the size of my partition, then backed up all my files and used bootcamp to delete windows and re partitioning my hard drive to a single volume. However after this, and then following the same exact steps as before (running bootcamp and sharing in a larger space) once the restarts my laptop that it comes up with the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" instead start windows automatically load (as it did before). I've repeated several times in the hope that it would work once however I can't help but feel that there is a problem with my hard drive and when I try to check my hard drive (not the 'Macintosh HD' a top one) sometimes - (I say sometimes because it does not say this error when you try to check) said this :

    I'm really not good when it comes to such things, so this information can be totally irrelevant, sorry! I had originally check my volumes a recovery when yosemite initially deleted to repartition my hard drive and reinstall windows. I really don't know what to do, any help would be appreciated. I have no knowledge in this subject what so ever but I feel that my hard drive is damaged somewhere (even if yosemite still works perfectly and all my files appear to be intact) or for some reason my boot loaders do not work...

    I can provide more information if necessary, but quite frankly, I have no idea what I'm doing.

  • Satellite L775 - 18Q - nothing works after having used the mode of intel

    Hi all

    I own a Satellite L770/L775 18 Q.

    Problem is that the screen remains black, no HD playback, nothing happens
    It all started with when I installed the program intel turbo boost should not do I guess.

    Looks like that the bios is corrupted or some thing, I don't quite know because nothing works, not with either F2.
    I know that my laptop is still under warranty, but perhaps it can be fixed somehow.

    Please, I beg you.

    Greetings
    Fred

    I doubt that an installation of an application, the driver or the software would result in such issue eventually it s simply a bad luck that happened after the Intel Turbo boos installation

    So I recommend workaround short but if this fails, don t lose any time and get in touch with the Toshiba ASP in your country for this problem under warranty conditions.

    + Workaround: +.
    Remove the battery and AC adapter
    Wait a few minutes (30 min)
    Then press the power button / stop along 30 sec
    Now connect the battery and the AC adapter and press the power button to turn on the unit.

  • Satellite Pro A10 CD Burning: after having burned the CD is empty

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 and my CD burner stopped burning. Someone at - it? I also had a problem earlier where he would burn only 1 disc immediately after startup. It says it burns and goes through all the motions, but in the end the drive has nothing about it. I use Maxell discs and have had no problem before using these. If the CD burner is broken it is possible to get a replacement and they are also easy to assemble.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is really possible that the drive is defective. Before Exchange you it the only thing, you can try is to check if there is some success if you use different empty media (producers) and burn it using a few different burning applications. I recommend you to use NERO software of engraving.

    Also be sure that the engraving option is enabled and not only option called simulation.

    Replacement should not be problematic. If I remember correctly from the drive is fixed with a screw and you can find it in the bottom corner near the drive itself.

  • Hard disk mysteriously "fills" after having deleted the files and programs uninstall

    My C drive is suddenly appeared full and I had a little flashing icon who said that I was running low disk space.  I checked and 92.9 GB I used almost all.  I started uninstalling programs and deleting files (move to an external hard drive and "erase the files in the C drive with 7 assists) to height of about 15-20 GB removed from drive C so far.  He started showing the space freed up in properties, but all of a sudden I'm at just 2.4 GB of free space.  I ran CCleaner and Norton 360 and have no bugs.  I use the Microsoft malicious software removal tool.  It's done more than 3 5ths and showing without problems.  Any ideas?

  • Repair your startup disk Bootcamp disappearing after you create the new partition

    . After some research, I found that it was the way forward to create a separate partition, and so I did another partition.

    I didn't know it would affect my Windows partition that I thought it was completely different.

    So now, when I start it up, there is no option to start with Windows. But when I boot the Mac and select Startup disk, it displays Boot Camp is still there, and all my files etc. are still there.

    I tried to create one separate partition (other than Bootcamp). After that its done and I started my computer, I found that the option to boot Windows (Bootcamp startup disk) has disappeared. But I still see boot camp Mac files. Any solution for this? Thank you.

    (I tried to find this solution on the discussion Forum, and I found: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition, however, I'm not able to follow these instructions. any help would be appreciated)

  • Satellite A100 - Internet becomes slower after 10 minutes

    Hello

    the Satellite A100 worked well for a few years, the internet has become suddenly too slow after 10 minutes of the start.
    The laptop switched on the first time that the internet works very well the 10 first minutes then becomes slower and slower until almost no packets are received but the connection does not completely down.

    Suspected spyware, rootkit, is cleaning up, and then installed from the disk recovery

    Then I tried the same thing. Uninstalled the connection to the local network and then reinstalled from the Device Manager, nothing.
    I figured that the Ethernet port is a failure. Then I used an adapter usb-to-Ethernet D - Link is completely independent of the integrated Ethernet hardware. Nothing, same behavior, working, first fine then Firefox displays a downtime

    The modem, cable, internet are all very well since I have tested with a PC and a laptop Fujitsu (5 years) and they all work very well. Even the D-Link works fine.
    The Toshiba pc diagnostic tool specifically says "Network Fail", but it crashes exactly?

    An idea or a similar experience?
