Satellite A300 - BIOS settings incorrect error during recovery

Hello

New to the forum, I had a search around so im hoping someone can help me.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAGCA and trying to resize a partition my computer become unresponsive and since then I can not load Windows Vista. When the computer starts it comes up with the error "interrupted operation: insert the Recovery CD.

So I used the restore CD that was with my program of partition but I get a different error message saying "Incorrect BIOS settings change video buffer size" which I cannot find in the BIOS and no help from their support.

If im now doing a Toshiba Recovery and restore my laptop, but I can't get into recovery. Holding F8 during startup to show the boot advanced options, or not taking '0' as ive read its supposed to.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you

Can you please tell me how you tried to resize the partition?

  • Satellite 2430-402: 437 Application error during recovery

    Right, I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2430-402 (purchased new) for at least 3 years. I have formated several times before and re-loaded windows back on with no problems until now.

    The problem only started two days ago, when I noticed my CD drive was not recognized. So I decided to format etc, came out the disk Recovery Utility that came only with the computer to install everything, and it will not go beyond 12%. I'm greeted by * Application error 437
    Can not read the file.

    I left really stuck and cannot load anything. I fdisc / formatted /spinrite / kill the hard disk, just in case where there is something nasty on here and can still get nowhere. This is the first time I'm really stuck.

    This could be the engraver of CD or would it be the hard drive or basically the computer is nakered. I inspected the recovery disk, and they are all clean!

    Or is it because I made an update of the bios (you mind, it was weeks ago)

    Everyone please

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    to my knowledge, the Ghost image files are placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    That's why I studied on the ghosts manufacturing Web site.
    It s Symantec and found this information site:

    HM http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/Ghost.nsf/0/14579a4173691f8988256abf005f4f8f?OpenDocument&SEG= & lg = fr & ct = us

    According to this page this problem seems to be due to starting the computer incorrectly when you use Ghost with GoBack on the computer.
    This problem may also occur when you use a brand or type of CD that works well with your CD - R or CD - RW device. In this case, Windows or DOS might be able to read the information on the CD that other applications cannot.

  • Satellite A300 power suddenly goes out during the race for hours

    Dear users of the Forum,

    I am facing a strange problem in operation.
    My laptop Satellite A300 is suddenly down power during the race for hours.
    It is auto off not exactly. Not the way windows stop, is rather like strength to off (as when I press on & power button to stop force).

    This happens automatically, starting again, the screen saying "windows does not stop properly, start windows normally" is apperanig.

    I suspected virus infection, I tried full scan with nod 32, essential microsoft, kaspesky - 1 by 1 (previous uninstall and install the new), but all the antivirus intremediately scan stopped due to this power off.

    Watch movie also stopped in the Middle, attempted to convert the movie file format also was arrested several times because of this problem of automatic disconnection.

    I tried to run only on the power (remove battery) and got the same result.

    can anyone identify the problem? can you please give me the solution?

    Hello

    I put t think it is s virus.
    En me it looks like overheating. Eventually the high internal temperature requires the laptop to close. This is done automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
    I'm not quite sure what could cause this exactly, but in most cases the dust inside the fans affects cooling performance and lead to a temperature higher than m.

    Higher temperatures could affect the RAM modules too, and perhaps that is the reason why some applications don't work properly.

    What to say; try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and check out how the laptop would proceed

    Load default settings in the BIOS before you start the update?

    If you update the BIOS make sure you are logged in as administrator and unzip all files from zip archive before you start the update.
    Close all running programs, also the firewall and antivirus and try to update again.

  • Satellite A300 - 1 M 1 - Format without recovery CD?

    Hello!

    I have my Satellite A300 with Windows Vista for a while now, but it started to give me some problems a few days ago.

    All of a sudden, windows not to load, it frozed on the windows logo screen. Because I needed to retrieve files I have installed ubunto from a cd and I was able to get the files on the trunk. Now and ever since I have this partition whenever I get to the screen where I chose the partition and that you try to start windows, a black screen and nothing happens! So I thought let's all format, but I just can't do the recovery or the terminal screen. I tried each key and the thing I could find or remember, but he still goes to the partition screen.

    I lost track of my recovery that CD so is there a way I can format without the recovery CD?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you want your only chance to return to factory settings is Toshiba recovery disc. Generally speaking, it s not a problem if you lost because you can order from Toshiba, but this service is not for free:

    Alternative, you can use a normal Microsoft Windows disk. All the drivers and tools that you can get on the official website of Toshiba.

  • Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

    Hello world!

    Need help with my Satellite A300. I lost the recovery disc optical I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I try to burn a new disc of recovery can't get the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the left recovery files - a folder named HDDRecovery with 4.5 GB size. The problem is to know how to burn the disc.

    Can anyone help?

    iMate, Sweden

    Hello!

    You have reinstalled the laptop with your own version of Windows?

    The problem is that the recovery disc creator can t be downloaded. So I think you use HARD drive recovery function to restore the factory settings. After that, it is perhaps possible to burn the disc of recovery again.

  • Satellite A300 - CEC_MAIN. EXE error at startup

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 network and when I run Windows Vista and the error message is displayed. This error is cec_main.exe.

    I have remove the camera assistant software and restart the computer, restart when Windows the message not to apears. I have install the camera assistant software, and this error again.

    Does anyone have the solution?

    Hello

    The CEC_MAIN. EXE application belongs to the software of the camera, and if you have already tried to reinstall, you should check your firewall and security software.
    I think that your security software is blocking this application in order to check this!

    If it doesn't work remove the software and reboot the laptop. Use CCleaner to clean the system and reboot once again. After that, install the latest software for the Toshiba page.

  • 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:
    http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

    You get Win7 to older models of laptops. Everything you can possibly do is to order Upgrade DVD but hey Win7 Toshiba DVD facilities can not be ordered.

    Of course, you can get Microsoft Win7 DVD facilities and clean OS install. Download page for all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba.

    Hey,.

    You can start Windows in safe mode?

    In addition it might be interesting what you have installed or changed the software/driver. Perhaps restore the system to an earlier point might be useful.

    By the way: did you use a Microsoft Windows 7 disk?

  • Satellite L550: BIOS settings after upgrade of security suite

    I have two of my machines restarted two nights there after an upgrade to my security suite.

    Now my office restarted without a hitch and the upgrade went through without incident.
    However my L550 rebooted to a screen called "Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup" and I notice in the BIOS system Toshiba 1.70.

    Now knowing what to do, I ran across the screens that lists the components that were in the machine and after that just after the installation itself.
    Now the machine reboot ok and it seems to work more quickly - I have no beef with that, but I would have thought that Toshiba would have warned me that it was about to happen.

    I'm a bit experienced user and vaguely knowing what can be done with the BIOS settings and not knowing how to do these were my insides run at a gallop.

    What is the go with that?
    I now have to Phoenix BIOS instead of Toshiba and it's this kind of thing is going to happen in the future as a warning would be really appreciated by people like me!

    Hello

    Support L550 Phoenix BIOS but its modified by Toshiba.
    It s nothing unusual each laptop manufacturer to set the BIOS for the purposes of the laptop.
    To be honest I n t have any experience with the Phoenix SecureCore Tiano and cannot say anything about the modified BIOS options. However, each BIOS can be set to the default settings.
    So in all cases, you are able to load the default options in the BIOS.

    I'm not sure what button you press to get the default settings (I guess that F10) but this info is always mentioned at the bottom of the BIOS screen.
