Satellite P500 - loop of reboot after using the Toshiba Recovery disk

Hello

I have a problem recovery SATELLITE P500. I did the recovery disks. It starts ok on the recovery disk and format the hard drive and copy the disks to the hard drive. Then, he begins installing windows and restarts.

He then goes to a loop
(1) marketing and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.
(2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Second installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interrupt or shut down the computer!
(3) Windows logo
(4) close...
(5) restarts and goes to 1)

It would be great if someone could help me with this.

Thank you very much

Hello

I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)

  • lost user account after using the windows recovery disk.

    Help, please. I turned on my computer and found that windows vista could not start due to a currupt file.

    I have tried rebooting several times without success and ended by using the samsung recovery disc to get windows vista to work.

    I had to create a new user account and have been able to find my original account on the C drive but don't know how to restore it so I don't have start with a new account from scratch.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Information, the original version of windows is now called windows.old and it is here that I want to use the user account.

    Hi Geek teenager,

    Surly there is a way to restore the user account that is sitting in windows.old on the C: drive, instead of having to reinstall all the programs that I never downloaded?

    Programs need to be reinstalled from the original media: CD, DVD, download, etc.

    You can recover data from the windows.old folder, but not programs.

    Set up a new account.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - 1 5 - where to get the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    I had Windows reinstalled on my laptop after having a problem with the BIOS (result of having windows and ubuntu on the same machine! But I know want to do a recovery disc that I forgot to do this before. I downloaded the creator of recovery disk but that you no longer have the recovery partition because they were erased when windows has been reinstalled.

    Any ideas on what it is better to do?

    Thanks :)

    That's what you had to do it when you bought your laptop. Now, you can get because it is no longer available on your laptop. Ubuntu installation wiped you.

    2 get windows copy the installation disc. All the drivers, you can find on the [European Toshiba driver Page | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  • Cannot reformat using the Toshiba Recovery disk

    Hello
    I'm not sure whether or not my question was published by third parties. Please let me know if someone had posted this.
    Here's my problem.

    I put the recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. Then I restart my laptop and press F12 and select boot from the CD-ROM. Then I come to a black screen where it says 'Windows 98...'

    After some time, the failure message appear.

    My laptop was with Windows XP and I don't know why the word 'Windows 98' appears. After failing, I try to go to the window and double-click the CD-ROM Setup and he says not can read any of the files on CD. The CD is used to reformat the laptop before.

    Is it the corrupt CD?

    Hey mate,

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what laptop you have. Maybe it has been bundled with Windows 98 recovery disk I put t know.

    Theoretically, it could be a problem with the CD. Try another disc and see what happens.

  • Can I restore a single partition using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    I need to know if I can restore just the windows on my partition main because I don t want to format all my HARD drive.
    In my second partition I have backed up all my files and I don t want to erase.
    Please can someone tell if I can do this?

    If you have a Toshiba Vista recovery DVD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and it s not possible to restore the operating system on a single partition.
    Therefore, you should always backup before using this disc

  • Cannot complete the reinstallation of Vista on Compaq laptop using the Compaq recovery disks. Tried to restore disk oem and new close to identical road. Errors: 0xc00000e9 and 0xc0000189 respectively

    With no unusual occurrence that accompanies it, our laptop was able to start and would not initialize anything beyond a screen B & W style BACK and gave the first error (0xc0000e9) on this screen. After several unsuccessful reboots insert us the Compaq recovery disks and crossed the recovery (only full optional with such discs.) At the end of the transfer of recovery (from DVD on computer), the computer tried to restart and reported the same error message. We have seen anything past the transfer of files and B & W on the oem disk. I think the oem HD is bad. Web-surfing suggested the error was associated with a hardware failure and the DVD drive seems to work very well I bought a new HD almost identical to replace the oem version with. Both are Seagate Momentus 160 GB at 5400 RPM drives.

    I re-inserted the recovery with the new installed hard drive disks and it loaded and seemed basically completely install Windows (computer is restored running several times and showed the Windows desktop with sequential programs etc. facilities.)

    To restart the final success, I received an error message in the sense of "windows could not install: Please restart the installation process" and the 0xc000189 error code. I tried again and the result was identical, including the error message. In the process the emblazoned shortcut labeled sunflower administrator with "locked" below briefly appears before the above error appears above him. Navigation on the Web seems to suggest I've hit some kind of security problem that appears when an oem auto-installer is used. He was never a password of any kind on the laptop of our family, if there is one, it should be of Compaq.

    It's an authentic (not stolen etc) oem new install of Windows (the laptop is only 18 months old) and I CD code on the computer but not the case in the installation me I asked for it. I don't know what you looking for installation.

    I'm very confused and any help would be appreciated. Compaq is saying it's a matter of Windows of course.

    Thank you

  • Re: Satellite A300-1MO - can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?

    I have an A300-1 MB.
    Can I use any Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Or is it as a specific for my A300-1 MB?

    I'm like a total noob...
    Someone pls help...!

    No, you cannot use any recovery disk, you must use the recovery disc designed for this model of laptop.
    The point is that recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package that contains the OS and Toshiba drivers
    If you want to use another recovery disc then the image would be installed with no compatible drivers and this could lead to other problems

    Every new notebook from Toshiba offers a Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool. This tool can create a recovery disk

  • Satellite M70: Question on registration after using the restore CD?

    I have reinstalled the OS on my 70 M satellite using the restore CD and now system even once asked me to register with Microsoft and Toshiba. I've already done, so I jumped it. I just want to ask if I use the recovery CD, I have to register again with Toshiba and Microsoft, or is not necessary.

    Hello

    You n t need to save anything when installing Toshiba recovery image.
    The Toshiba recovery image is already out.
    You can register your device on the Toshiba site for more support, but this procedure has nothing to do with the recovery image record.

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

  • Equium A200-1V0 - how to use the Toshiba Recovery CD product?

    I used the reinstall xp on desktop before but do not need to do a reinstall on your laptop (toshiba) with vista with their product recovery disc. With vista, I had to find my own drivers etc. after the OS is installed on a clean drive.

    I want to clean the disc by using a product of drive wipe as Dariks boot and nuke (used on office/xp computers some time and as a very clean before you reinstall drive) on my laptop Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 before inserting the product recovery cd.

    Questions-
    (1) is it ok to erase drive with DBAN - this usually effect the ability of the recovery CD to do its job?
    (2) how can I use the product recovery cd or it is free it is exposed just charge, boot from the cd and follow the instructions online?
    (3) it will return the laptop to the factory shipping status (i.e. don't have no need to look for the drivers, etc.)?

    Thank you very much for your help - just need to be reassured that have not is it a wipe and reinstall on your laptop and vista with a "recovery disc" (always a disc not specify that it is a full copy of the operating system

    Hello James

    The recovery procedure everything is very simple and here are the answers to your questions:

    # You should not do. Before installing recovery starts the disk HARD integer will be automatically formatted, created new partitions and OS will be installed on the first
    # Start Notepad and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the menu is displayed a recovery media in the optical disc drive. In the menu choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. Follow the meny on the screen. After that two or three click OK installation will be implemented.
    # Yes

    When the installation is complete just start computer laptop again and wait until the operating system will be prepared for the first start. It is not necessary to install any additional software.

  • Equium 110-252: how easy to use the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    My Equium 110-252 has been plagued with problems since I downloaded a certain number of security for free programs for the protection of personal information on the internet. Since then, a number of programs stopped working (media buttons failed, touch and launch went etc.).

    System Restore will not work for any of my restore points and I just get an error message saying that no change has been made. Re-installed a number of programs and have them work again for a time, but the night last windows froze and I had to turn off the laptop using the power button. When I started the laptop to the top again once all my work was cancelled and again programs were not working.

    Planning to create a backup disk in the future (a lesson learned!) but in the meantime I think I might have to use the system provided with the laptop recovery disk. Being a novice I'm just afraid that I will be confronted by scary guests when I insert the disc to the top! (especially as the manual says only: "follow the instructions on the screen"). During the period of warranty, but I am concerned that the problem is not covered by that as he came thru my introduction downloaded the software on the laptop!

    Can someone please tell me what to expect when you use the recovery disk? Is it as simple as it sounds? Y at - it traps?

    Reassure (!) or opinion would be welcome! Thank you!!!

    The product recovery DVD is a pre-installation factory Windows when you first bought the laptop. Using this reformatted your hard drive, destroying all the personal data, so it is very important that you back up your files. The process is relatively simple to start just the disk and allow 10-15 minutes to do its work.

    The only trick is having to re-register your details and install all service packs of Microsoft.

  • How to reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

    The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

    I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
    I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

    Hello

    posters have reported problems with the use of a replacement hard drive not HP, etc.

    as you say you know the answer to your problem buy a new hard drive from HP and then reinstall using their recovery disks

    If you have problems with the HP recovery process, contact the manufacturer

  • Satellite M40: Recovery Procedure hangs on reboot after using the recovery CD

    Hi all

    I have a clients Sat M40-197, which was badly marred by malware that I did a full restore using the supplied disc that has the number of product PMR400490EN0. After the reboot, the system hangs just in normal mode and safe mode, I noticed that the last connected line is Mup.sys, but even in this mode the system always starts. I tried to use Ghost in advanced mode do not resize the partition, but not matter what I try, I can't start.

    Before taking what I think, this is my only option to use a standard OEM XP Home disk and the installation using the supplied product key I was wondering if anyone had solutions to this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    First looks like a mistake to restore CD. I mean it s possible that the CD is damaged or whatever and then some data is maybe damaged.

    If this isn't the case, then I guess that the following reasons:

    -HARD disk no is not correctly formatted-> reformat it completely and create a LARGE partition
    -HARD disk is defective-> check the HARD drive with a special HARD drive tool of the manufacturer (in most cases you can download it from the manufacturer's Web site)
    You can also download "UBCD4WIN" (just google for it) and check your HARD disk with built-in tools
    -Memory could be faulty-> use the "UBCD4WIN" and check the memory with "PI" or "SuperPI".

    She's...
