Satellite M305D-S4830: error recovery - Partition creation failed

Computer: PC Toshiba laptop
Model: Satellite M305D-S4830

Problem: Originally windows wouldn't start; so I decided I would try reformatting it to solve the problem.
First of all, I erased the hard disk; now, I'm trying to use the "TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard" provided with the laptop for reinstalling the operating system, but end up getting the following:

"ERROR: 08 - 0 74-0000.
Failed to create partition. »

p.s. I've tried formatting using the command prompt, but it says format failed after choosing a volume name.

p.s. #2 when I run the Startup Repair tool, I get the error that the volume is corrupt

I noticed there is a hidden partition called X: where there is a backup of the operating system out-of-box, but have no idea how I could use this backup to possibly restore windows...

What should I do?

I think the problem is the partition on your HARD drive.
You said erase the hard drive, well, this might be the reason why the recovery is not working as it should.

In my opinion full HARD drive must be formatted again (all partitions must be removed and formatted too.).
Perhaps you could use an original disc of Microsoft (Win XP CD) to format the HARD drive and you can then use the Toshiba Recovery disk to recover the laptop again!

  • Toshiba Recovery - Partition creation failed on Satelite P200

    I have a * Toshiba Satelite P200 *.

    Norton has expired recently, within hours of the expiry I seemed to have a Trojan horse. I think it is W32/IRCbot.worm (his supposition a little!) because it seems to be popping up again.
    It also caused my computer to restart, as in the description of viruses.

    I had tried recovery and recovery disks but received this error initializing the partition has been:
    * ERROR: 08-0E89-000 *.
    Failed to create the partition.

    I then tried a full erase with the TOSHIBA recovery disks, it took hours 18 or more, but ended up with the same error message as above.

    I do not have data importiant (transferred all externally) and I'd like to start over again. I'd love you long if all-in-one could suggest anything.

    To make clean OS install with media recovery is not a problem, and you can't do anything wrong. I recommend you do the little test and install the operating system without creating any partition. Start the recovery procedure, choose the language and simply continue without using the SETUP button.

    Please can report you if the recovery procedure completes successfully?

    To be honest, if you can't install the OS via recovery DVD disc there is not much to do and you need to clarify this with the service provider authorized in your country. Either they will test with other discs or experiment with new HARD drive. I don't see any other solution here.

  • Satellite M305D-S4830 - the open fail - webcam & microphone Webcam driver does not work

    I have a Satellite M305d-s4830.

    Cam and mic worked very well until one day the software assistant camera began to show a messagebox saying that: "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart the computer or the camera. »

    Since then, I tried everything that comes to my mind, but I think that the cam or the microphone appear in Device Manager. I also have the for Toshiba recovery disc.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    > Since then, I tried everything that comes to my mind, but I think that the cam or the microphone appear in Device Manager
    Hmm, do you mean that the cam is not listed in Device Manager
    Or an unknown device, or near a yellow exclamation?

    Sounds like delivers material but try to recover the laptop using the recovery disk.
    If this will not help, it means that there must be something wrong with the cam

    I read on the net that some people have a similar problem.
    The webcam worked when opened the lid of the laptop only to halfway.
    But webcam disappeared when the lid has been moved upwards.
    Maybe there is a loose contact between the cable and the cam
    In this case the ASP technician must check the laptop.

  • Re: Satellite M305D-S4830 Volume dial strange behavior

    Hello, I have a strange problem with my volume on the Satellite M305D-S4830 control button. I don't know if this error began to occur, but now my volume control button produces the letters B and C when I ride it's right/left. Here, I'll roll c/cw-cw now:

    ccccccccccccbccccccccccccccccccccbbccccc

    It produces the BS less often than c as you can see. In addition, he performs the adjustment bar volume but erratic: when I roll it clockwise it decreases the volume and then greatly increases the volume immediately. Turning clockwise increases the volume strongly, and sometimes it decreases the volume a bit.

    I have the latest drivers for my Satellite and have not modified the operating system or the Services (such as HID Input service) somehow. I tried to use a previous version of the driver for the sound, but nothing changed. Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    Someone had a similar problem. I read about it here in one of the wires (if you want to use the search option).
    The point is that the technician cleaned wheel volume (contacts, etc...) and this has solved this problem.
    I put t know if it's the same reason in your case but it s worth a try

    Notes; Don t disassemble the laptop computer or similar! This can be done ONLY by ASP because of some validity of damage and guarantee of the equipment!

    PS: of course the update of the BIOS is also advised.

  • Black screen when I restart the Satellite M305D-S4830

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite M305D-S4830 laptop a few months ago and I had a little problem with it.
    Whenever I choose to "Restart" of the computer, it normally stops and begins to restart, but the screen stays black and the DVD player seems to loop start (like if it tries to start, but it may not).

    It does this, infinitely and finally, I have to hold the power button to turn off and then on again.
    There, it starts normally.

    In addition, the computer stops perfectly and boots perfectly when he was the previous order.

    In any case, I can fix the function 'reboot '?

    Hmm that's strange

    Have you tried to recover the operating system and to check if the problem still persists after using the recovery disk?
    Select this check box.

    In addition, you should check your BIOS. Maybe a newer version is available.
    If so, then update!

  • Where to find Win XP 64 bit for the Satellite M305D-S4830 energy management/conservation

    I was able to completely load Windows XP 64-bit on my Satellite M305D-S4830 with all the drivers.
    Everything is great except my battery only lasts is not too long to work.

    I've searched but have not been able to find a working copy of Toshiba Power Saver that works on my laptop with XP 64.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello!

    I think that you will not find a 64-bit version of Toshiba Power Saver.
    Toshiba is not compatible XP 64 bits are therefore no available 64-bit software.

    You must use the Windows settings or change you to Vista 64-bit. Vista has more options for saving energy and it s the same as energy saving.

    Good bye

    We are looking for to rid this terrible noise from the mic. Any suggestions? Is there some sort of software that allows it to calibrate the microphone at all? Or it's just bad?

    Say here, do a right-click on the speaker icon in the task bar, select recording devices then go to properties of the mic as default set, adjust volume, max the volume settings settings then add 10% boost, that's what I did when I had a problem similar with Skype. In Skype say here to go into the settings options and then audio and make sure that the right device is selected under microphone then save, everything should work ok now.

  • Satellite L450D-11V - update recovery partition

    On my Satellite L450D-11V with Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, Tempro today said there is an important update that replaces the recovery partition with a new, to overcome the problem of error message on portable computers with more than 4 GB of RAM. Although I have only 3GB, it says that the update is for everyone because it can go to more than 4 GB in the future.

    It is all very well, so I downloaded and tried to run the .exe unpacked, but at half way through the installation, he stops and tells me that the update is only for 64 bit versions of Windows 7... which is mine. I got it for five days, it came with Windows 7 Prem 64 bit and I certainly did not use 32-bit downgrade DVD and it says clearly "64 - bit operating system" in my computer.

    Hello

    Update do you mean exactly? Can you post information please as filename, etc.. ?

    Normally there is no recovery partition. There is only one file called HDDrecovery on the second partition where you can reinstall Windows from this folder. On Vista and Windows 7, there is a hidden partition but it s the Windows recovery environment and has nothing to do with Toshiba.

    Moreover, I don t use TEMPRO because install updates manually if it of necessary.

    I got the laptop with 4 partitions on this point - score of 300 MB windows sytem, C: with system partitions and 2 HP opetating. As maximum authorized partitions were already defined, it was impossible to make my data partition D: so me I deleted the 300 MB partition and C: as active/boot. Then did my data partition.

    Is this a problem, why recovery is not working? If it is impossible to fix, I erase all partitions of HP and expand rather my data partition, maintains broken useless recovery partition.

    Hello

    Good idea to save the swsetup folder

    You can use the product key on the base of the laptop to activate your copy of windows, but with 2 provisions retail.

    1. the version of Windows that you are installing must match the version originally supplied with the laptop (IE if it came with Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, that's what needs to be installed.

    2. you will find that after installation, when you try to activate Windows over the internet, it will fail.  It is quite usual, all you need to do is use the 'phone method' described in the link below and it should be activated without any problems.

  • Re: Satellite A500 - Windows error recovery

    I have a problem with my laptop

    When I restart my laptop, it tends to be stuck on this windows error recovery screen. It gives me two options
    (1) Lauch Startup Repair
    (2) start Windows normally

    Tried both, it turns off, reboots that it ends on the same screen over and over again. Tried to access it via safe mode, nothing helps. tried to fix it through windows disk 7, did not work. tried last good configuration, not good either.

    It's the screen that I always end up and it does not go further.

    Please can someone show me a few guidelines as to how can I do to fix this problem. I'm a freshman in College, I have no money to take it to a professional. That's why I try to fix it myself as I have urgent need.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Hmm, not easy, but in my opinion it s something wrong with properly installed Windows OS and HDD recovery doesn't work
