Satellite M40 - cannot boot from the recovery cd after format HARD drive

Hello

After my Satellite M40 - 133 being affected by the virus of security internet I had to wipe my hard drive. The virus wouldn't let me do anything, boot without failure or system restore. I wiped the disk and it still wouldn't load up. That's why I had to do a full erase of the disk including the hidden partition.

After doing his now do not let my boot from the CD of restoration as it says invalid partition as his search for files that must be on the hidden partition. What can I do to get it started. I'm not bothered about to recover anything on the disc. If I remove the hard drive and put the recovery cd in, it excludes the disc and begins to start until he fails to see the hard drive.

Outwardly I can link the drive to another pc and he sees it as a storage device so I'm glad that there is nothing wrong with the hard ware - help please

Hello

Can you see the HARD drive with all the details in the BIOS?
If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty or not fully compatible.
If you can see the HARD drive in the BIOS, then this means that the HARD drive is compatible.

But this should not affect booting from a bootable CD.
Even if the HD would not be recognized in the BIOS, you should be able to boot from the CD. For example a live Linux CD has not only any disk HARD because the BONE would not be installed on the HARD drive, but it loads into RAM.

The question is; Why you are unable to boot from any CD?
Maybe the discs are scratched or the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc more because of problems of laser lens
If possible, try to copy/burn the Windows CD using another computer, and then try to start using the copied disc.

  • Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

    Heres one in your brain is going...

    I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

    Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

    The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

    Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

    However...

    When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

    Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

    If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
    The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

    This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

    This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

    Any suggestions would be welcome

    Hello

    Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
    I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

    To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

    > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
    Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?

    By so, even though I have the recovery CD and the computer can not read them.

    I'm out on this one.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

    However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
    If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
    If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

  • How can I configure Satellite A300-148 boot from the recovery partition?

    Hello

    I had some problems when trying to install MAC - OSX, for her, where the partition table is deleted, then I retrieve the entire score as it is, but I can not start in any case.
    Then I decide temproraly install another copy of vista drive Vista (not the partition), then set up my laptop to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall the good copy.
    My problem is, it's all here, the only problem is, I need to configure the system to boot from the recovery partition.

    My device is:
    Satellite A300-148

    Thanks to the device.
    Ahmed.

    Hello

    If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

    But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

    But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

    If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

    Welcome them

  • Portege A200 - cannot boot from the recovery disc

    Hi, I have a Portege A200 and an original unused Toshiba Recovery CD.

    When I go to recover, the DVD drive just turns and turns and nothing happens. I have tried different methods of booting with the disk to like, by pressing the C key, select boot from CD/DVD or just turn it on with the DVD in the drive. Same problem, the disc turns right away.

    I also checked the drivers TOshiba download page and let down when I found out that there are several drivers for the same thing, like the 3 drivers LAN! Which should I use? Also, I can confirm that the CD/DVD drive works fine because I already loaded windows XP, no problem.

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Kieran99.

    Hey Kieran99,

    I also think that s is not a problem of the CD/DVD drive. If it turns over and over again once he recognizes a disc but it can t be read correctly.

    Regarding your question about drivers I think that it of fairly easy. I can recommend the vendor and device ID in Device Manager. With these identification numbers, you can search on this website http://www.pcidatabase.com/ to determine the LAN controller. All that s! :)

    In addition, you can check the ID s in Device Manager, if you click the LAN card properties > Details > PCI\VEN_xxxx & DEV_xxxx

  • Iconia W3-810 cannot boot from the recovery disc

    Hi, I have a 32 GB Iconia W3-810.  The original recovery disk was lost.

    I made a Bootable DVD of 8.1 and also Win 8.1 bootable USB key.  These two have been tested on another laptop, and both can start this laptop to the installation environment.

    I also followed the guide to enter the BIOS of the Acer Tablet settings and change the boot order and change remove secure boot option.

    Unfortunately the unit keeps trying to start in Windows 8.1 - one who is full of viruses and should be flattened and start over.

    Help, please...

    Many of these cables power the Tablet via the splitter, but do not provide power at the side of the data cable from the side power (I don't think I explained that well). They are designed to power your device on the motor side while allowing access to data on the other side. If connected:

    Tablet- + - power
    |
    |
    DVD

    The Tablet receives power supply and Tablet provides the voltage and sends and receives data from DVD, but power does not give voltage on DVD. This means that the DVD does not necessarily receive the budget power that he needs.

    If you can, try the DVD connected to a powered hub. Turn upwards and actually to work are two different things, and tablets offer far less than the maximum power on their USB ports.

  • Qosmio G35: Cannot boot from the recovery disc

    I'm in trouble from the screen of my Qosmio G35 showing lines vertical, gel, then a loop on and outside.

    I used the Toshiba factory restore disc to reformat and the problem remains, I went further and chose the maquis of the HARD drive option. Bad choices made by this beginner, because now it does not recognize the drive at all, prompting me to "initialize".

    Lines remain, but it is not the material of the screen happens during some process that I follow, OK.

    A friend more computer over the phone prompted me to go into the BIOS, but we cannot access them. Research on the web, I tried the F12 suggested, but this does not work, just push me through in a screen offering 'Safe Mode' etc.

    Any help would be welcome. Thank you

    Hello

    Usually the vertical display lines looks like a hardware problem, in my view, it could be related to GPU failure.

    In any case, we should start first of all the problem of CD/DVD drive you must check if the disc is properly recognized in the BIOS.

    For this, it must Access the BIOS press the ESC (if Toshiba BIOS) or the key F2 (if Phoenix BIOS). Please check these two options because I m not 100% sure what the BIOS the Qosmio G35 uses.

    But like I said earlier the issue looks like a malfunction of the graphics card and you must contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    Best regards & friend good luck

  • Cannot complete the recovery process after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I changed my hard drive it for 15 days because he showed abnormalities, so I bought a new hard drive Seagate Western brand with the same technical characteristics as the existing hard drive (product for the product).

    I was then on TOSHIBA HDD RECOVERY to burn to CD system recovery disks, then I went to replace the hard drive.

    After the change, I raised my PC with system restore CD.
    The procedure is successfully completed and orders of comments asking me to remove the disk and restart the PC.

    I raise the PC, everything goes well, launch windows, installation of perfect records system then comes the stage of installation and settings of the system here after the error message:

    "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on the hardware in the computer."

    Then it asks me to restart, then it comes back every time on this message, I'm stuck on this step.
    I tried to change the mode of the disc source hard 'compatibility' instead of 'AHCI' but it's even worse, it completely without error buggy.

    Please give me an explanation of this phenomenon.

    Sincerely.

    Guillaume

    Have you tried to repeat the whole recovery procedure?
    If this is not the case, do.

    I recommend to format the whole HARD drive and create an NTFS partition.
    Then start the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.

    I read about the problem of disk HARD similar in the past and especially NFS partition creation has helped to solve these problems.

  • easy transfer can be used to reload the data files after formatting hard drive?

    I have been informed by level microsoft 2 I have to reformat my hard drive to fix the problem with windows backup (snapshot won't work).  easy transfer will copy all THE data files, including OUTLOOK 2007 on hard drive and then I can reinstall on reformatted drive.

    Easy transfer copy some things but not all things. He does more that can make a simple copy/paste (such as the settings for example) but, for example, not programs transfer (those who need to be put back in place).  Here is a description of what it does (and does not): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928635.  It will transfer Outlook 2007 PDF files and other personal data if they are selected - you need to know which files you need and where to select them - but it won't transfer the program (which must be put back in place).  It must be run before you reformat the hard disk to collect data and then you can transfer everything what you have registered once the system is re-installled.  You would do the re-setup prior to the transfer.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    A real problem. Vista is prompting me to boot from my recovery disc and allow the repair of Windows. However, when I insert the disk it shows loading Windows, but once he starts to launch I get the BSOd with the "Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_Equal" error report with the error code Stop 0x000000D1. I searched on advice but all I can get into the repair mode, but I can't. F8 does not work in safe mode. Week last ChkDisc has run on every start and yesterday I received a number of parts of Vista won't load does not with error reports. Today, it started with Windows can not load the warning and instructions for use the recovery disk... I'm in a loop as I cannot cross the BSOD! Help please

    How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

    @AirForce9731,

    You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.
