System stuck on initiallizing partition recovery Toshiba Satellite A305 with Vista o/s HELP!

My system crashed this afternoon. Several times, I tried running the system since the partition and then recovery from disk ordered directly from Toshiba. The system will run the recovery VERY slowly (usually taking more than 20 minutes to get to the point where I wonder how I want to restore the system. I tried all the options available (personalization of the size of the partition, back out of the box, etc.) to get to the next stage where it begins "initiallizing partition" and it hampers is permanently in this screen.

Knowing that previous screens have taken a lot of time to load from disk, I even let it run all night and it never progresses a plus! Help, please! I just want to get all work as it did when I got it! I had many problems computer through the years and generally could fix with little or no help, but I've never seen a computer get hung up always runs the recovery of its own system.

Please let me know if you have answers for me! Fortunately, I will provide additional details related to the technology if you need it to help diagnose the problem.

I thank all those who are willing to help in advance!

Hi skippinaround,

As this occurs when you try to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, you may need to get in touch with Toshiba to get help.

You can see the following link for more information:

If you have a full version of Vista disc, and then try to use to reinstall Windows Vista.

Hope this information is useful.

  • Toshiba Satellite A305 - S6898 USB malfunction

    Greetings and Salutations,

    I have an interesting dilemma with my Satellite laptop. Whenever I try to use the USB ports for devices in addition to my hub, keyboard and mouse, I get the error "USB device not recognized" infamous. Of course, this means that the unit does not operate. This happens on any of the three USB ports on my computer, but NOT with my keyboard, the mouse, or the hub they are connected.

    Now, lets hit some suggestions out of water before I give myself, because so far, I tried pretty much everything that has been suggested for this problem.

    I tried to uninstall the ports and allowing Windows to reinstall the drivers after reboot. That did not correct the error.

    I tried formatting the computer completely and put on a new installation of Windows. That did not correct the error.

    I tried the fix 'disconnect the computer's power. I left said computer turned off and disconnected from any source of energy for more than twenty-four hours. That did not correct the error.

    I updated the BIOS OF THE system to the latest version. That did not correct the error.

    There is no virus or malware in the system that can cause this error, as I indicated above, I formatted the system entirely, and he failed to correct the problem.

    I went into Device Manager with devices hidden showing and removed all USB devices hidden, disconnected from the past. This did not correct the error either.

    Essentially, I tried just about everything has proposed as a possible solution and come up with nothing. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's either BIOS or related material, but it is meaningless for me something associated material would allow SOME devices (keyboard, mouse and Hub) to function, while others do not.

    If anyone has a solution I've tried there, please let me know. Specifications system and operating system to follow.

    Toshiba Satellite A305-S6898

    Hello

    Given that you re-installed Windows pointing to a hardware problem, however there may be a required chipset or
    another driver from Toshiba. Check with Toshiba Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask
    in the forums about known issues with your model.

  • 1IZ satellite A200 with Vista crashes every day without no reason

    Hello guys,.

    I have a Satellite A200 with Vista Home Premium installed. In the past months, the BONE is suspended every day, I was not able to detect the reason. nothing is having replied to the questionnaire, not even Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the only solution is to stop from the power switch.
    I do not found something wrong in the system log, so I do not know what to do. Toshiba PC diagnostic shows everithing OK.

    What can I do? Perhaps a cooling problem? A guide for cleaning?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    So to be honest, it's hard to say what are the really causes your system to hang. Possible reasons:

    HIV 1-infected
    2 problem of file system Os including drivers, programms...
    3 had to be clean
    hardware problem 4

    I recommend:

    1 search for viruses
    2 reinstall the drivers (especially as a vga and chipset drivers). Check installed programs
    3 use compressed air jet to blow off the dust from the cooling module.

    If this does not help, do a fresh install of the operating system. Then we will see what to do

  • The laptop recovery Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 problem error: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 computer laptop and my hardrive recently crushed, impossible to restart.  I installed a SEAGATE 500 GB/sata/GO 16 MB of Cache, 7200 RPM hard drive. I ordered recovery for the computer disks and many of the drivers will not update or install without error that tells me that "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device.

    Are you sure that the original problem was caused by a failure of the HD, did you test that the hd with the utility bootable disk from audit?

    As if you reinstalled to a new HD using that the required all defined recovery Tosh disk drivers would have been installed in this process.

    Assuming that Tosh then rebooted successfully after recovery, windows update would have run some important updates automatically. If that failed then it would seem that something is happening with your system.

  • How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

    Hey,.

    Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
    I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

    Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

    How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
    The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

    The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
    I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
    There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

    You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
    The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

    The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 - display driver resolution - help!

    My laptop screen is 15 inches and resolution 1024 x 768. He worked always good. Until I installed Windows XP SRV 2 once again. Now, the screen only works with 969 x 768 pixels. Without the ability to use the whole poster resolution. So I downloaded and installed the toshiba display driver. But still the same problem. (Black band on the right side) part of the display resolution remains unused and remains black.

    I tried everything in the display settings of display resolution, but the law remains black strip unused

    This unused black band is om the right side of the screen.
    The rest of the computer laptop good workt without problem

    A frend of mine has the same problem with a toshiba Satellite Pro 6100. After insalling Windows XP and the appropriate driver, the screen leaves a band black and unused.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Can you please check under display properties > settings > advanced > monitor, is there possibility to activate the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.

    If you want, save your data and reinstall OS with recovery CD. Check if your monitor is working properly and there is black band again.
    I ve done the installation of SP2 several times without any problem. It is not a simple to determine what can be wrong with it.

    If you reinstall the operating system and there is no black band again, please let me know. I am very interested about your problem.

    Good bye

  • I have a Toshiba Satellite A85 with XP Home Edition series. Windows does not start. At startup I get Toshiba logo then a black screenwith cursor upper left. Can I save it?

    Toshiba Satellite A85 Celeron with XP Home edition. Windows does not start. I have Toshiba logo screen, then it turns into a black screen with the upper left corner of the cursor. I have the recovery disk. Is it possible to record HD without re-formatting and losing all data?

    Thank you;

    Lobo77

    If you run the Toshiba recovery application, you will lose all your data.  As indicated in the warning, this application will restore the computer back to wherever it was when it was first delivered by the factory.

    Without other complementary diagnostic information, it is difficult to determine what is happening.  Pressing the key (do not hold) of F8 beginning immediately after that the sequence of power should bring you to the Advanced Boot Options menu.  Try again then press repeatedly the key rather than pressing on and now.

    The recovery CD Toshiba, you have probably does not allow a "repair installation".  Contact Toshiba to see if they will provide you with a suitable CD.

    Given the fact that you can get a useful place when you start with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, my guess is that the computer is OK but that the hard drive has failed - or maybe more likely - the startup information is damaged so that it does not start.  If you have access to a computer equipped with a burner, download and create a bootable Windows CD.

    There are a number of available bootable CD which include various recovery and diagnostic tools.  You'll have to do some research to find out how to use the tools.

    Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows
    Ultimate Boot CD
    Hiren BootCD

    If you feel overwhelmed by the tools and I just want back the data, and then use the Toshiba Recovery DVD, make you a Knoppix CD and use this key to your data, preferably on a network connection.

    If all this sounds like too much for you - and there is no shame in admitting that--take the laptop for a good local computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather GeekSquad) and ask them to check it out and make sure to recover your data before anything else.

  • Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

    Computer details: * Satellite A200 PSAE6E... *.
    The laptop came with Vista... I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it ' s working fine * BUT * after reboot, Acronis OSS does not recognize Vista and the computer starts directly with Win XP only. (I need two BONES...)

    I'm looking for a lot of instructions now of hours * dual boot *, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!
    Toshiba came only with the product recovery CD, so all the instructions of MBR and solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all...) it does nothing!

    Is there anyone out there?
    Please... If you can give me no hint at all... it would be just a miracle... Thank you

    Hello

    have you heard of 'Vistaboot'-> http://www.vistabootpro.org/

    A program that allows you to change the bootoptions, so if you want to change the boot settings, then try this program.

    Otherwise, you can also consult the "UBCD4Win" program which is a live cd of windows xp with many tools, you may find something to change the Boot Manager.

  • Satellite A205 with Vista will not start

    Hi, need help.

    Trying to help a friend with his laptop which is not booting. Its an A205 with Vista.

    Machine boots only a blank screen (not blue) with a mouse cursor.
    I tried safe mode and it does the same thing. I tried the Toshiba recovery disc supplied and the same results.

    I even downloaded a separate copy of recovery Vista on the Internet and who doesn't. I'm ready to start from scratch and completely reload the OS, but I can't seem to understand how to do this with the discs I have.

    Any suggestion would be great.

    TIA

    What happened when you start the laptop?
    You can enter the BIOS settings?
    See Toshiba welcome screen?

    If you have a recovery media for this model of laptop, you can try to install it. Your laptop to start press F12 for boot options. Put the recovery media in the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

    The optical disc drive is the first boot device and recovery installation should begin. Please let us know what exactly happens when you try to do.

  • "d" recovery disc in computer HP Vista filling top-HELP

    I have a HP with Vista. My C drive has plenty of space, but not my D drive. I do not knowingly record or put anything in my D drive. I know that it is the recovery partition. I read the other posts where people are delete files on this disc which should not have been there, but I don't think it's my problem. I'm not really sure of what is on this drive other than what belongs to it bc when I click on 'scan' or 'cleaning' or whatever the real verbage is, it gives a big HP WARNING stating that it is the recovery and not mess with it. My is... question if I can't even get in there to see what files are in it and if I did not knowingly put anything on it, how I solve this problem? What could go to thread it upward? Is it normal to fill it out, and just as I was actually paying attention to space today, I worry when I don't have to? I had no warnings "low space" at the moment, but I don't know what should be the 'normal' amount and I'm still not able to verify what is there I do not know if something is there which should not, and if I am at risk for this fill. Sorry this would have gotten confused. :) If someone can tell me if there is a problem, I need to be worried, if I can free up space there, so this will be something that will stay the same or grow, that would be appreciated. Thank you

    Hello

    I assume you are using the Vista operating system. Am I wrong?
    Well, the Vista operating system needs a lot of material resources like OS first, that is to say XP.

    This is why all computers work slower with Vista for another OS that is XP but I think it is nothing exceptional, due to the fact that the Vista eat resources of the computer due to new features such as Aero, new photo and video files, Direct10X, etc..

    What you could do is update the memory which allows for slightly better performance, but you shouldn't t expect a big difference.
