• 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 A200 - cannot boot from the recovery disc - code 1

  I have Vista business and my laptop is running slow and is full of rubbish.
  I have in the past used my drive recovery to completely re - install vista and start from a fresh version.

  However, I tried this once and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.

  Can someone tell me what it is and how to reinstall vista?

  Hmm. strange.
  Are you sure you have the right recovery disk?
  Are you abele to boot using another drive as MS Win XP CD or Linux CD bootable?

• 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?

• Cannot boot from the CD-ROM drive

  I have a Dell Dimension 9100.  Operating system is Windows XP.

  The CD-ROM drive works great for playing CDs and recording stuff, but I can't boot from it.

  Everything is fine with my computer at this time, it starts fine from the HARD disk, but I anticipate before when I need to use Acronis image rescue media under my method of recovery after a disaster.

  For some reason any does not start my 9100 the drive, even after changing the BIOS boot sequence to insert 1.  My Dimension 4400 starts the CD player without problem.  4400 boots even in the backup media created in the 9100.

  I carefully followed the instructions in the Dell knowledge base article "How to configure a Dell Dimension series system to Boot to the CD drive", does not.  I opened the folder and reinstall CD drive connections.  In addition, I am at a loss.

  I hope someone can help me get this right.  Thank you.

  
  

• How can I configure my computer to boot from the CD Rom drive

  I have Windows 7 home version and I have a problem with booting from the cd rom.  I did a cd bootable for a work at home job, but it will not work properly.  It works fine on the desktop of my sister, but not my laptop.  What is happening is the CD loads when I restart my computer, but then it goes to a black screen and just stays there until I have eject the CD.  I can hear the CD running, but I get nothing after the initial splash screen.  I have reset the bios to make sure that the CD-Rom was placed up in the boot parameters.  Any ideas why this CD will not completely loaded?  Thanks for any help you can give.

  Please note, in order to install Windows 7, you must have a DVD player, if you have a CD-ROM drive, which will not work.

  best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive

  If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

  If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

• Cannot boot from the HARD drive in AHCI on Satellite C mode

  I tried to get this satellite working for these past two weeks. I think I've tried all of the suggestions I found on this forum and others.

  My problem: I can not boot from drive c: in AHCI, only in compatibility mode. I can boot from the D: (recovery partition) in AHCI mode. When the recovery is complete, and when it gets to the first reboot, try to boot from the system newly created on the C:, I return the compatibility mode.

  I replaced the drivers on the C: drive.

  I extracted the AHCI drivers and copied in the root of a USB bootable. I try to do a clean install of windows 7, I get to where it shows the partitions. He tells me that it can not load the system on any of the partitions, I the AHCI mode (if the mode is set to compatibility it will load the system in one partition).
  I select "load drivers" and select the driver in the root directory, it loads the driver and then reports that it can not load the system on any of the partitions.

  I'm puzzled. I acquired pilots everywhere, the last set of drivers I used to try to do a clean install, I have acquired the Canadian official Toshiba site.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  BTW, this is Windows 7, I'm trying to get back to.

  Can someone help me with this?

• Cannot boot from the CDROM on a satellite A100-549

  Hello.

  I think I have a problem with my BIOS because I can't start something of my CDROM.

  I removed the recovery off the DVD-ROM drive CD and restarted my computer.

  Then set up the boot sequence to boot from the CD, and nothing happened.
  My laptop just start with the normal boot sequence, I mean from the hard drive.

  I put a livecd for the CDROM drive and the effect was the same, the cd does not start and the computer began the ususal boot sequence.

  Can someone tell what is the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Try to use all possible methods to set ODD as first boot device:
  1. press the key C immediately after switching on the unit, keep it down for a few seconds
  2 put in the BIOS
  3. choose F12 after departure upward and choose the CD/DVD device

  Honestly, it's very strange and if nothing helps, maybe you should contact your dealer or authorized Toshiba service partner directly. They check the disc.

  BTW: have you noticed any other problems with ODD Windows?

  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
