Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

What would you recommend I do?
My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

Hey,.

Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

  • Satellite L650-11F - how to access HARD drive recovery?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

    The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

    So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

    Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

    My daughter dropped the laptop. Now, I get a blue screen that says I need to press F8 to start the recovery process. But when I press F8 nothing happens... Any ideas? I would really appreciate any comments.

    > My daughter dropped the phone. Now, I get a blue screen that says I need to press F8 to start the recovery process. But when I > press F8 nothing happens.

    According to me, that there is still something wrong with the hard drive after release. You can enter the Bios (f2 at startup) to check if the hard drive recognized. You can see on the main page or startup option.

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

    Hi guys.

    I have a question.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
    Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
    After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

    My question is this.
    Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

    Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
    I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

    The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
    Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thank you for your time.

    OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
    This article was really helpful:

  • Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

    Can I reinstall windows from this folder?

    Hello

    You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
    If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

    Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
    So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

    Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

    But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

  • Satellite T130 - failed to restart after HARD drive recovery

    Hello

    I used the Toshiba HDD Recovery tool for reinstall windows 7 on a recovery partition. Everything went well until the end when the pc restarted and would not restart. So now that I'm stuck, I can't access f8 more.

    Any suggestion?

    Thank you

    Hello

    And what exactly is happening now? You have a black screen?

    To me that sounds like it, something goes wrong in the installation of HARD drive recovery then I recommend reinstall Windows again since the middle of recovery that you created on USB or external CD/DVD drive. This can restore Windows again.

    Theoretically, it could also be a hardware problem but I would try the middle of recovery recovery facility that s my personal opinion. ;)

  • Satellite L350D - 213 Desktop gel after HARD drive recovery

    Hello

    I'm trying to help a damsel in distress. Its Satellite L350D-213 would not start. Although I could boot mode safe, that's all I could do. I tried to save all its data, but could not do it anymore. I did a HARD drive recovery and everything seems OK until I started as usual, but when I tried to open programs and they did not open. Finally, I called for a Shut Down. It took more than 10 minutes.

    I restarted in Mode safe mode and tried to open the pre installed on the desktop programs and there seems to be no problem. Closing together took 13 seconds.

    Tried rebooting as normal and the same problem occurred.

    I just feel that one of the system files is corrupted. More likely I'm wrong, so is there anyone out there that can advise?

    Thank you

    Stokkers

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. The programs that you try to start?
    Corrupted files? I don t think so. You have installed the own recovery image and if there is a corrupted file even should arrive as soon as the first day.

    Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings, set the default value and reinstall the recovery image.
    Configure Windows and wait for the operating system to start successfully. Don t connect the laptop to the internet and check again. Don t connect some external devices.
    What you can try is to open the Task Manager and see if there is a background activity which needs a lot of CPU usage. You can try to stop it.
    You can try to disable some applications at startup.

    Play a little with it.
    There must be a logical explanation why this happens.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  • Satellite A300-Y00 - how to use a joystick for games?

    How can I connect my Satellite A300/y00 with joystick so I can play without a keyboard because its very difficult to use?

    What one should I get, like joystick ps2 or gamepad xbox since the microsoft xbox and im using microsoft software such vista...?
    But my laptop has what we call the game controller in the Control Panel, it means that I always install the software to use the joystick?

    Thanx

    It s your choice what joystick you want to buy. Go to a computer store and take a look at all the joysticks and buy one of them.

    Normally you need a driver for the joystick, but the joystick should be bundled with an installation disk that contains the drivers.

    Good luck!

  • Can satellite A300 - 1 5 - I change HARD drive?

    Hi everyone;

    I have this laptop: [Toshiba Satallite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]. It has the standard specification, no upgrade.

    I thought if it is possible to move the disk from its housing (which on the left side of the laptop) on the side right from your cell phone, because my model can have 2 separate HARD drive. This idea came to my mind because that the CPU (cooling module) is actually on the left side, but also the HDD. As everyone knows, CPU generate much of the heat from the laptop, so I thought that I can reduce the heat by moving the HARD disk to the right (where its only contains the DVD player). A matter of fact, the left side of the laptop is always hotter than the right side.

    Yes, is there any body agree on that? The HARD drive fits on the right side? If so, can u people help me on how I can move the HARD drive on the right side?

    Thanks in advance...

    I think that means shipped such a HARD drive chassis:
    [Portable HARD drive chassis | http://supcontent.gateway.com/support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2007/Tempest/Graphics/Tempest_HDD_BUMPERS_02.JPG]

    I recommend you check out it for yourself. Throw in the two slots in the HARD disk and then you should see the difference.
    HARD drive cover is normally set by one or two live only, so you can check it in a few minutes.

    When I bought my computer last year, I couldn't create a recovery disk, I tried so many DVD, but there's an error in the end every time! : s I dropped the banding I'll ever need...
    Hem hem, now I would like to (reformat?) restart my computer to make it clear to all my HD programs, docs and other...
    Yesterday I bought an external HD (1 TB) and I would like to create the famous recovery file in my new product...

    Is this possible? How can I do?

    > Create a recovery disc (external)?
    No, it will not work. HARD disk image is designed to be used from the second partition only and only with the factory settings.
    If you install own OS you will lose F8 option to fix my computer.

  • Satellite A300 - cannot read the second HARD drive

    Greetings from the Spain,

    I got 1 month there is a serious problem with my laptop (which is 5 months old), associated with crcdisk.sys.

    I gave up after several hours studying, and send the computer serving techniques. (Vista was does not load and no recovery was possible)
    Technical services changed 1 hard drive and the motherboard (don't ask me why)
    This computer cams with 2 HD (these 2 devices)

    The first has a recovery partition.
    The problem now is that I see the second HD (D :) but I can't read or access it.)
    However, McAfee, it can scan and I can see the names of files (they were there before sending it to T.Service) during the scan.

    The only solution I have Toshiba is "send it back", but with the previous experience I've had with this guy, maybe now they put a new keyboard and wait another month...

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Now I can read the second disc of Internet expolrer..., i.e. D:\documents... I read a few videos, I got there and seems to work.
    However, I cannot read with ordinary windows Explorer or cannot write files from any program.

    BTW. I can access from the Explorer, but just the files, i.e. d:\documents\letters, but not to the root?
