Satellite P100-276 - can't reinstall Vista from external CD drive

Cannot install external CD drive Vista

My Toshiba P100-276 Vista Home Premium crashed for the last time, so I bought a new hard drive.
Internal CD player had not worked for some time, but had happened before.
It would always work again when I reinstalled Vista.
Not now, however.
So my pc - guy installed the new drive and tried to install Vista from my USB - CDRom-drive.
Which has resulted in these messages:

Googleing it, it turns out that you can solve this problem by changing the 'compatibility' mode in the bios, but not in MY bios.

Install a new CD player might settle it, but would be costly and complex at the same time.
I'm writing this using Ubuntu, who btw had no difficulties to install from the external drive.

All solutions?

In the past, several people have reported the same problem.
Also, are you using the original recovery disk or the Microsoft installation disc?

The simplest solution is to buy the new optical disk drive. You can find it on eBay and it is cheap for this old machine. You can exchange it in 2 minutes, and everything will be OK again.

In the user s manuals document you can find a list of all compatible optical disk drives.
Satellite P100 is a fairly old machine, but if you use the original recovery disk it contains good SATA driver.

  • How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

    I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

    Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

    It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

    Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

    If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

    If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

    You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My laptop TOSHIBA NB 100 has no CD-DVD player.
    Operating system is Windows XP Home SP2.

    Operating system won't start.

    Laptop start not at all so I can't run any kind of test when I turn it on.

    The thank you screen come on it says launch safe mode, the networking of safe mode, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter who I chose, that it does not start it only goes to Windows and looks like its starts but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.

    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is the USB HDD - FDD - FD - CD memory.

    What are the steps for loading Windows USB flash drive?

    If that does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in the CD - DVD drive laptop.
    Will this work? The laptop will use the Windows CD in the drive of the laptop to load the operating system?
    How to make this connection?

    Hello

    You usually have an external USB CD/DVD drive to boot from the Windows XP disc or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    But there is a method that allows you to install Win XP using the 2 GB USB key.
    This is possible because the NB100 BIOS supports booting from USB key.

    Pease check this Web page:

  • Satellite L300 - can't reinstall Vista using the recovery disk

    My daughters Satellite L300 gave problems that seem to be hard disk errors.
    I installed a new hard drive and tried to reinstall vista from the recovery of the product CD.
    Partitions are created successfully and then I get an error "C:\program files\adobe\acrobat restoration...". several times followed by etc

    "image restoration of error."

    "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

    "Imagex error not to VISTA F:\06235XSP.svm Index 2 odd c:\!

    "Press a key to continue."

    And thye ned.

    All ideas

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  • Satellite P100-276 - 1 pixel vertical line

    Help, please.

    My Satellite P100-276 always shows a white * vertical *, screen of approximately 1/3 from the right side.
    Changing the resolution of the screen does not change the width of the line.
    Even at startup before Windows is active.
    A screenshot does NOT have this line.

    Unfortunately, the line appeared just after the warranty period.
    Does anyone have experience similar and/or solved this problem?

    Any suggestion, the solution or the experience is welcome!

    Hello

    Hmm, it seems to be a malfunction in the internal display hardware maybe. Have you checked an external monitor on the laptop? You may notice the same question it?

    I think the display internal or the motherboard needs to be replaced. The best way is to contact the local authorized maintainer and ask for help. Technicians can share screen or on another party.

    Good luck!

  • Can't reinstall Vista. Because Vista will not get to the Setup screen.

    Hi people. Got a prob a little. Vista stopped booting the other night. So, I tried safe mode, and it hung on crcdisk.sys. So, I decided to get in shape. Problem is, it will boot from the DVD, but will not load / access the Setup screen (I waited for 7-8 minutes and nothing's happened, shows just the thing with the green bar).

    Not too sure if it's because the hard drive is 1 TB (but Vista was on the same front hdd with Windows 7). I tried to remove the 2 GB of ram (I use 4). No go. Tried another DVD rom, not go. Removed USB devices that have been connected. No go. I know that the DVD itself is fine. I tried on the other PC here, the installation screen came within 2-3 minutes. But his is not a 1 to (its 250 GB) the only DVD that will work / I install is the Windows 7 DVD.  So, how can I reinstall Vista?

    I deleted all partitions / recreated with the Win7 installation as well. Still couldn't get Vista to get to the Setup screen

    Any info appreciated

    Thank you

    Finally fixed it. I read that USB legacy can also cause this. So, I disabled it. Everything is good. Managed to get to the Setup screen, then reinstall Vista
