I select the CD/DVD drive, the drive makes some noises and then after a minute round and a half... the Vista screen appears as usual. I also tried power on and pressing C, but the same thing happens, don't constantly loading Vista log on screen.

  • Burned DVD will not play on a DVD player

    I downloaded a 22 minute video I want to burn to a DVD in my DVD player.  I tried on the DVD-R and DVD + R.  They burn the disk but will not play on the DVD player.  The error message indicates that the reading is not available on this disc.  I used the windows search support to problem solve on my own, but have had no success.  I made sure that I am selecting the option of CD/DVD drive to use the ISO image format.  I entered my option and I have no filters.  I have the video on NTSC format since I'm Pennsylvania / U.S..  I have not tried burning on slow or average speed because it burns the DVD without problem it just will not playback on the DVD player.  What do you recommend as my next plan of action for troubleshooting.

    I guess that the video is not DVD compatible Mpeg2.  According to the DVD player, some will play other formats, too.  If there is no program for video on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video will too be converted to standard DVD Mpeg2.

  • disc CD - r will not play using a DVD player

    When I create a movie with movie maker cd - r disc will not play on a dvd player. It comes up with 'unknown disc '. Where I'm going wrong?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Unknown disk error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It is always better if you include your question in the body of your message.

    Unless you had a special software that would create a video CD (VCD) your
    free-standing DVD player won't play (and even then... your DVD
    Player must be compatible with VCD, and some are not)

    Hello

    > all I get is a window box asking what would like to windows do you, like what you get when you insert a music disc or vid
    This means you want to use the recovery disc in Windows? It will not work.

    The point is that you must boot from the recovery disc rather Windows on the HARD drive so until the computer starts to go into the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive like device starting. Make sure that the recovery disk is in the drive and the recovery disk will start. Now follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Satellite A50 - recovery disk is not working

    Hello

    I'm trying to do a clean install on my laptop, but the recovery disk is not working.
    The files transferred to the laptop, but once done, I get an error message that says: "the system is not fully installed. Please run Setup again."

    Does anyone have suggestions as to how to fix it?

    It took me four days to get to this point and make me very frustrated.

    Thanks heaps

    Naomi

    Hello

    What is the installation using another CD; That is to say the Microsoft Windows XP disk?
    Have you tried that?

    In my opinion, this would help to pinpoint the problem
    The error message can be linked to different issues; I mean the HARD drive or a single partition problem could also be possible.

    Try to format the drive HARD whole again. Delete all partitions from the HARD drive and check if you can proceed with the installation.

    But if you will not be able to install the OS by using the recovery disk and other disks then a question must relate to a part of the material. (possibly HDD)

  • Satellite A200 - recovery disk will install Windows?

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200. Hard drive is dead and he changed a new.

    If I buy the product recovery disc will be functioning and install windows vista family premium provided with the machine?

    Hi spiropi,

    Yes, the Toshiba Recovery disk will install the original operating system supplied with the notebook. Toshiba Recovery disk always works, even you changed the HARD drive. The disc contains an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools, then everything will be installed automatically and you get out of adjustment of the rear housing.

    Thus, you can order such a disc and you can the original settings on your new HARD drive. :)

  • Recovery disk will not load on my Equium A210 - 17l

    For some reason, no matter what I do or try, my Toshiba restore disk will not start or load into my disc drive. I hear that many whirring noise and loud clicks, but nothing. I cleaned the disk, I have my BIOS set to boot from the CD/DVD drive. I have the disc, otherwise he would stay all day on a black screen. This leads me into the wall, my laptop is just out of warranty and my games/applications are running slower and slower each day. I can't afford the repairs, I need help! Anyone has any advice for me? Thank you

    * edit *: I forgot to mention, some discs not loading in my laptop but they load fine on my desktop (including my Toshiba restore disk) is anyway I can copy the files to my restore disk and create a new one? (I confess that there are some scratches)

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. It may be defective recovery DVD or optical disc drive may be defective.
    Try to use some other bootable CD/DVD like Microsoft installations CD or some Linux installations. If any of them work is ODD may be defective.

    Recovery image can be copied to the HARD drive and the new creation of media is not possible. If your recovery media cannot be used due to zero you can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Recovery disk will not start on Satellite 1110

    I try to use the recovery on a Satellite 1110 CD. I want to just install fresh Windows. The necessary files are supposed to be on the Toshiba recovery CD that accompanies it.

    So I did what the brochure says, and booted up the laptop to the top with the correct CD in the drive, while pressing 'C '. The notebook ignored the CD ROM and loaded Windows as usual. I repeated three times, each time that the CD ROM whirs a bit but will not start and Windows loads as usual. I have replaced 'C' for F12, chose the CD ROM drive in the list and repeat the process several times. Yet once it wouldn't boot from the CD-ROM.

    I looked at the content of the CD ROM A single MB 447. File of the GHS. The file icon is that generic type "Windows does not know what program this icon is intended to" deals.

    Google believes it is a ghost file and must the ghost installed to run it. This bitch never came with Ghost.

    Anyone here knows a remedy to this problem?

    (NB - I tried clean Windows system restore option, but it just brings back me to September this year. Theres no option that was more early in life for portable computers)

    I am in the United Kingdom, and is a UK machine if that makes a difference.

  • For Satellite L450 recovery disk does not work

    My laptop's daughter was so slow, that we decided to take it back to factory settings. There is no disk recovery with the laptop because it has the repair work however when we did the computer is no longer started upward and when we started it in safe mode, the repair option was gone!

    I've then went to Toshiba.eu and bought the recovery disc, seem to work, load files etc and then says loading windows, but the screen just goes black.

    I can't find a phone number or contact point on the invoice and if I will have to consider in a shop to repair I don t want to have paid for both disks that do not work!

    I do something wrong or can any one help?

    Thank you

    New laptops are available with preinstalled operating system and without recovery disk but in user s manual is clearly described that you can create this preinstalled software recovery disk Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    I m wondering really you didn't mark this option.

    In any case, try to reuse this disc to see if the problem occurs again and again. If you will not be able to install the original recovery image I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Recovery disks will not recognize my new hard drive

    You try to add an additional hard drive or you try to replace the current hard drive with a new one?

    Recovery/restore disks are specific to OEM (made by the manufacturer that also makes your computer) unless you are lucky enough to actually have on the contrary an OEM copy of the operating system in question (Windows Vista I guess) and it is bootable and will guide you through a real installation of the operating system and not a "restore image."  What means what, is supported by the OEM in question for the method - no Microsoft.

    Now - you may be able to perform a new installation of Windows 7 using the Windows 7 upgrade media you have - depending on how you got it...?
