• Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc

  Hello

  I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
  When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying

  "The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

  (I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)

  Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?

  My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.

  Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
  Do you use this disk for the first time now?
  When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?

  Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

  What happens when you do this?

• I can't recover my system (DV6000) using recovery discs after replacing the card mother/HARD drive

  I have a DV6408nr (windows vista Home premium) I had to replace the motherboard and hard drive. When installing the new motherboard (same part No.: 443775-001) and insert the recovery (bought from HP) discs that I have, I received an error message stating that the PC could not be recovered using my disks. The serial numbers on the label service and in my bios do not match. When I entered the serial number of my bios in HPpartsurfer, he said that the system is a DV6449us. I already checked my RAM and HARD drive is brand new/not formatted. I used these recovery discs (manufacturer: 483905-003/483906-003) successfully before on other flags of DV series. Is there a reason why these discs should not work on two motherboards in the same system with these similar specs? What should I do to get my system recovered?

  The number of the motherboard and other show information in the bios of the new Commission?

  The numbers do not match the recovery disks or information is missing in the bios.

  If it's really a mismatch, then you will need to find the good recovery disks or use a Dell installation disk operating system and use the product key from the sticker on the laptop to get activated, and then manually install the drivers.

  If the bios tattoo is damaged or missing information only a used HP Center can then fix the tattoo.

• using recovery discs

  I have a compaq S3100AN computer that I got from a friend. I formatted the hard drive and I want to use the recovery discs, he did to restore the system.  When I get to the second disc, it stops at APP\i386\APP31322.exe and runs over and over again trying to get the file. After a few minutes it will say abandoned or stop or something similar.

  I did once and managad to continue with other drives up to the arrival, but when I tried to restart the computer, it says it could not find the operating system and would not start.  I tried again with the same result but this time I can't go beyond disk 2 and it works for a while before getting an abortion without continuing on request. When he finally to have an abortion, it has two options, yes or no.  Which one should I click to bypass this file and continue on?

  Then towards the end of disk 5 or 6 it says error2: \preload\windows w32 missing and later, it says error 2:\C:\windows\cache\mbr.dll missing.  Maybe that's why it wouldn't start when it ended.  These are on CD - R discs, so I can't change all the files or change them, do you have any idea what I can do about it.

  I just install windows home edition from a cd of windows but it does not install the compaq drivers and, even if it starts successfully, if I restart it will lose all the necessary drivers for the video card and network etc, so that it operated on 16 colors and does not connect to the internet.

  Any help would be appreciated, thank you, Allan

  Allen,

  Just follow what Paul said of the to do and everything should be OK.

  If you still want to try the recovery disks, make sure that they are free of scratches, grease and finger prints. Who can help solve the difficulties of the disc to these problem spots. (Not recommended, but I found that using a very soft automotive polishing compound that is approved for use on plastic/plexiglas works well to clean a CD or DVD)

• How do I create using recovery disc installed Vista - Satellite L300-190

  Can u please help me.
  If I had the factory installed default windows vista, then how to create the recovery disk and can also create usb recovery drive, while I was able to boot my system with usb?

  And also if I m even have another model of machine, then I can use the recovery disk in the other machine with the same model and OS. ???
  as for now, I have two same machines toshiba Satellite L300-190 model.

  Waiting for your response.

  I think that this has been discussed much time here in the forum.

  You can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator!
  This tool must be preinstalled on your laptop if the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.

  You can also try to restore the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.
  You must press the F8 key during switching on laptop and I then have to choose the option called fix my computer. Then new window should open, and you could choose the Toshiba recovery.

  If you cannot use the two procedures (disk recovery HARD and Toshibas recovery disk) then you can order the new CD from here:

• Using recovery discs that have been put in place on another PC

  I have 3 computers HP Compaq Pro SFF x 6200.

  I have only created a disk of recovery for one of them.

  Now, I need to restore the other two PC (they no longer have the available recovery partition).

  How is the Windows 7 numbe series registrations affected if I restore this way or if it is not serious. Should I do a sort of regstry edit to change the serial number later?

  Thank you

  One set of "Recovery disc" made on a specific model / product number should work on any other computer in the same exact model / product number. While each computer can have a unique Windows product key on the COA affixed to the computer, this key is not used by HP to activate Windows.

  HP and all the other major computer manufacturers generally use a system known as OEM SLP (System locked pre-ignition). This system allows many (dozens or hundreds of thousands) computers to be preactivated by using the same exactly OEM SLP key and OEM SLP certificate with a corresponding SLIC table in BIOS of the computer.

  You don't need to change anything, because that's the way the process is designed.

• After my computer will crash does not start has a black screen with message operating system not found. Responsible for recovery disc but wont start.

  not boot Vista after that computer crashed have a black screen with message operating system not found.recovery discs won't load

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Above is the way you normally boot from the Vista recovery disks.

  If you have tried to boot from the recovery without success disks, contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  See you soon,.

• System Restore does not not using F11 (noteboook: Pavillion DV5T).

  Hello

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion DV5T. He had 3 discs: disc C (OS installed) and D (recovery partition) and E (DVD player) drive.

  D drive had the HP recovery. Now, I created an image ghost of drive D (recovery drive) in a few DVDs and then did a clean format of the entire HARD disk. I also deleted all partitions and then recreated the drives C and D.

  After that, I restored the Ghost image to drive D.

  Now, when I go to boot options and perform a recovery of the system using F11, it says "Boot Device not found".

  Please let me know how I can run my HARD drive recovery.

  The problem is that I have no recovery discs.

  Thank you

  Pawan

  Yes... Knowledge is power!

  I solved the problem... something like this:

  1. I downloaded the tool: HP Backup and Recovery for Vista for the HP Web site.

  2. and then I installed Windows 7 on drive C.

  3 installed HP Backup and Recovery tool for Vista on Windows 7 and it ran to create recovery discs.

  4. to my surprise, it took 2 hours... but has managed to create the recovery disks.

  5. then I restored to factory settings using the recovery discs.

  Thank you

• Satellite 1800-400: CD Rom is not working / can't use recovery discs

  Hello

  I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

  Thank you

  Hugues.

  Hi Hugh,.

  When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

  If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

• replacement hard drive and using recovery discs made by myself.

  HPdv6 mobile 2119tx. After replacing hard drive and loading the recovery discs (which I did) successfully, now it reboot something messages cannot locate the disc or load bootable disc (sorry, don't remember the exact wording, but back to the beginning). Could this be because I replaced a 650 GB drive with a 500 GB drive.

  Hello:

  Normally you cannot use recovery on a smaller hard disks.

  But you should be able to boot from the first disc of recovery at least and see what happens.

  To do this, you must have the first disc in your dvd player.

  Restart the PC and at the beginning of your homescreen HP, tap key ESC then choose one time start in the menu.  Since then, select the DVD drive and continue.

  If the ESC key method does not work, press the F9 key instead.

  It depends on the type of BIOS in your PC (normally according to his age) which key you need to type.

• My Gateway computer crashed after an indication there is a corrupted file and system restore disks must be used. We have never done their... What would be the way cheaper and easier to get this computer working?

  It started when my laptop was having problems (Vista 64 bt).  It's less than a month and the motherboard consumed.  If we use our Gateway desktop model that has Windows XP.  I found my laptop and tried to connect it to the radio.  Desktop just completely crashed.  He said there was a corrupt file and I should reinstall windows.  I'm disabed and I tried to read the instructions and use the F10 or F11 key but I couldn't do anything.  I entered the manual to find these virgins back up discs.  I bought a Dell, one month before and all disks are there... we had nothing to do.  I hate to admit that we did not open the manual.  I read that you can get the readers or the manufacturer's cd.  What is the best way.  I will have surgery soon and I can not contact with people because of my immune system for months.  I have a 14 year old who lives on the computer and take care of his Webkinz.  I have to fix this!   Thank you

  Contact Gateway to purchase recovery discs. It won't be cheap. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Upgrade SSD using recovery discs: warnings?

  I would like to start by saying that I am pretty technology-challenged, then kindly appreciate if authors of response could use short and simple words with me.

  I have a 8460p with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit Elitebook. I want to upgrade my HARD drive of 320 GB for a 500 GB SSD. Instead of my current HARD drive cloning, I decided to do a new installation on the new SSD. I don't have a Windows 7 disc, but fortunately, HP includes a recovery with any purchase of Elitebook disc.

  However, I have read elsewhere that using a recovery on a disc SSD is a bad idea because it will lead to "problems of alignment." Well, to tell you the truth, I have no idea what this means, but it sounds bad.

  Yes, I wonder if it is safe to put in my SSD boot on my recovery disk and install Windows 7 like that.

  On an unrelated note, I read a lot of guides on the installation and optimization of SSDS. They say all the different things, which is a little intimidating. (Some people even say to ignore that these guides because many of them were written long ago, back when SSD was still in their infancy, and SSD of today do not need to be optimized.)

  In any case, is one of the things that all the guides say to use the AHCI mode, which is an option that I'm supposed to be able to find in my BIOS (I haven't checked, so I do not know!). My question is: when I should change it to AHCI mode? Before leaving my old HDD and installing my SSD? Or after putting in the SSD? Everything I know about AHCI is that it is supposed to make the SSD run faster.

  Thanks for all the helpful tips!

  Clarissa

  BIOS of your laptop are already set to default AHCI, you need not worry about this. Problems with SSDS come to use a SSD that is smaller than the smallest drive available on the series. In such cases, the recovery discs are confused. You propose to use a 500 GB SSD, so it shouldn't be a problem. Personally, I wouldn't do the factory restore. Instead, you can download an OEM of Windows 7 version that corrresponds to your license. Is - this Windows 7 Professional? It must be the same version, because you will use the key Code on the bottom of your laptop to turn it on. This is a link to download a completely legal, correct recovery disk OEM Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit:

  http://MSFT.digitalrivercontent.NET/win/X17-24281.ISO

  It is an .iso. This can be burned to a DVD disc can be used. Return ticket if you have questions, but Windows 7 with a disk image utility that should allow you to do or a software like Nero burning also will burn an .iso on a disc. You can't just burn the .iso to a disk image file. It has integrated Service Pack 1 so you can avoid this first huge update. You can copy the laptop hard drive swsetup folder and it will have all the drivers and software pre-installed. You can also use Windows Easy Transfer to create a file that will restore the files and the browser settings and preferences. If you need assistance.

• Install windows 7 on a new hard drive by using recovery discs. (Pavilion all-in-One MS215UK)

  Hard drive crashed and HP sent a new with recovery discs that say they will reinstall windows 7. Discs and installed hard drive run for 'restore factory settings' by following the instructions.

  2 extra drives came with set, but they simply refer to the instructions that make no mention of them.

  Hello

  Download and create the bootable CD as described at the link below.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=PV-80183-1&cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en

  When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.
