Tecra R940 - error upgrading to Win 8 via Toshiba recovery DVD

Hi all

I just bought this brand new Tecra R940 dealer of Toshiba in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, about three weeks ago.

The machine is with preinstalled and activated Windows 7 Professional. In the area were also two recovery DVD Windows 8 Pro. The seller specifically says that the machine comes with Windows 7 with a "free" update for Windows 8 on two DVDs.

Now, I didn't really set Windows 8 business (I've tried a few times in the past and didn't care much for him - of course), so after that I set up the machine and install all my software and updates, I created a Windows 7 system image and decided to try again to Windows 8.

So, I jumped the first two DVDs in the drive and rebooted. I pressed F12 and tried to boot from the DVD drive and... nothing! I kept getting the error "non system disk or disk error; Press any key to continue. "I tried several times but nothing helped, so I started only in Windows 7.

What I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance,
Shady

Hello

Before you start do something please create Windows 7 preinstalled using recovery media creator Toshiba recovery media. Later if you want to have Windows 7 once again you can install it using this recovery media only.

Back to your problem. Now if you want to install Windows 8 using sent discs please change the settings of the BIOS first.
How to do that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2C03F80002R01.htm

  • Acer Predator running win 8.1 that I want to upgrade to win 10. What recovery disc?

    I have an installed two years with Win 8.1 old Acer predator. I want to upgrade to Win 10, but I'm concerned about what will happen if I get a hard drive at some point failure. Should I pay for another set of recovery disks? Or will I have to install Win 8 of the discs I have, then move to 8.1, and then to win 10?

    If your HARD drive dies, you can use your recovery disk windows 8 and then switch to 10 without going through 8.1

    but...

    I can suggest an easy way.

    You can create an image just system after the upgrade to windows 10, have your drivers updated to version 10 of windows and make sure that your system is stable.

    After that, with the windows tool, you can create the system image on DVD or external HARD drive and use it to re - install your copy of windows 10 as you just improved.

    http://www.CNET.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-system-image-in-Windows-10/

    to use an image from windows system, you need a windows bootable 10 installation media but it's easy to get from microsoft:

    Download the .iso file and burn it to a DVD.

    then, at the end, you start from the DVD and choose repair your PC and select to load the image of the system.

    I found a similar question on the Toshiba U.S. forum > click HERE.

    I also think that the recovery files are corrupted and you need is original Toshiba recovery DVD.
    Is that you get to laptop with OS preinstalled and you should be able to create recovery discs. Try to contact the closest service Toshiba and explain the situation. If you didn t change anything on the system is not your fault and maybe you will get the discs for free.

  • Satellite Pro P300: Error TOSHIBA recovery disc creator

    Hello

    Having just received my P300, I tried to create a backup using the TOSHIBA recovery disk creator.
    After having inserted a 4.7 GB disc in the DVD drive and backup, while she was refused, a message pops up saying:

    "Cannot read the following file:

    F:\blahblahblah
    Error code: bonnefin
    Failed to create the Recovery DVD 1 "

    It is clear to me that there was not enough memory on the disk it ends. The size of the disk had also declined about 0.5 GB.

    My main question is:
    Do you need to use a DVD-R disc or a DVD + R disc? In addition, is a panasonic disc disc the best type to use?

    Help, please.
    Thanks, JoeC.

    I agree with Akuma.

    The problem of compatibility between the DVD and the CD/DVD burner can cause this error.
    One of my friends had a similar problem. He tested two different brands of DVD and both were not fully compatible

    After the use of the TDK DVD-R, it could burn the image and could create the recovery DVDs.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to test various media in order to solve this problem.

    Goodbye & good luck

  • Cannot find drivers Tecra R940

    Hi team,

    Need help. My Tecra R940 with windows 8 has two things does not:

    Finger scanner printing and webcam.

    The finger print scanner I see it needs drivers from Device Manager
    BUT the webcam is not there on Device Manager as there is no. To make it worse the toshiba site doesn't have the drivers

    Help!

    BUT the webcam is not there on Device Manager as there is no. To make it worse the toshiba site doesn't have the drivers

    the unique webcam driver is not available for win 8 / system Win8.1 or win 10 because the device should be recognized automatically by Microsoft OS.

    You need to install is the driver for the Toshiba System...

    In addition, in most cases, the webcam should be enabled in the BIOS... sometimes its possible that the webcam is disabled in the BIOS and that's why the system cannot recognize the internal webcam

  • How do I update the BIOS on the Tecra R940?

    Thank you

    On the BIOS Toshiba download page you can download the version of WIN. This means once downloaded BIOS, you must run it under Windows running as all other applications.
    By the way: is there a reason to update the BIOS? Have you noticed any problems with your machine?

  • Tecra R940 with Windows 7 SSD boot failure

    My company bought laptop computers Tecra R940 and replace the HDD with Kingston SSDNow v + 200 V + 120 GB SSD drives. On a test after installing the SSD device, the laptop was rebuilt with our brand image (Windows 7 x 64) that has successfully completed.

    Update post however a number of issues is apparent:

    1 occasionally during a restart, the laptop will display and then hang at 'starting windows' screen for the Windows logo animation appear and with the light of the hard drive continuously. After a period of time that a Windows recovery is attempted and, possibly, a reported error:

    Status: 0xc00000e9
    Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred

    This problem will not occur at every startup, but once every 2 or 3.

    2. the following error message is logged in the Windows system log

    Source: ATAPI
    Event ID: 11
    Description: The driver detected an error in the controller on \Device\Ide\IdePort0

    I have tried the following to resolve the problem:

    1. update the R940 BIOS to the latest available (6.40).
    2. has confirmed that the BIOS SATA Controller is set to AHCI.
    3. not confirmed there are no available SSD drive firmware update.
    4. install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver of Toshiba (11.0.0.1032).
    5 tried different SSD. Same errors identified, so not a faulty SSD.
    6 tried the SSD in a Toshiba Portege R930. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
    7 reinstall the original HARD disk. In this case the mistakes above are not apparent.
    8A confirmed a 2nd unit (with installed SSD) logs the same event ID 11.

    My tests left me at a point where I think that there is something bad at the end of R940 with a hardware or software that does not like the SSD.

    If someone has solved a similar problem or have thoughts on fixing this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Specific installation of corporate images are always full of risks, and quite often, there are different problems. As much as I know in the past Toshiba has created special images of recovery for some companies who ordered a specific number of booklets for employees.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I would like to know if you have tried to install own OS Win7 using the original disk of Microsoft.

    I mean that it must be possible to install Win7 clean on the new laptop models. I tested it on my U940 satellite and it works well. I had some trouble with Toshiba specific stuff (tools and utilities), but it was not so important and work with Win7 was possible in any case.

  • Tecra R940 - fingerprint reader does not

    Hey,.

    A few days ago I was on my Tecra R940 and I got the messages re, a USB device unplugged series. I do not think it a lot at the time, but since then my fingerprint reader has stopped working.

    I can not connect via fingerprints, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "unable to connect to the probe.

    I ran the test of Toshiba PC diagnostic tool and it passed everything except the Modem test (I jumped, do not have a telephone line).

    Any ideas on how to diagnose this?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    > I can not connect via fingerprint, and when I run the utility of fingerprints, he says: "Failed to connect to the sensor.

    If the fingerprint sensor is available, it must be in the Device Manager.
    I would recommend that you go to Device Manager and check if the fingerprint sensor is listed there.

    Note: in some cases the option of fingerprints is available in BIOS and fingerprints can be enabled or disabled it. That's why I also recommend to check this option.

    Where the fingerprint sensor appears not in Device Manager and in BIOS of fingerprints is activated, I guess that hardware malfunctions and this can be solved by the replacement.

  • Tecra R940 - 1 H does support external resolution 2560 x 1440

    Hello

    I use a laptop TECRA R940-1HP
    I want to buy professional instructor Phillip 272P4QPJKEB/00, with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.
    Please write to me.

    My laptop can support such a resolution?

    Support of external resolution depends on the graphics card that is built into the laptop.

    As I know the Tecra R940-1HP supports the chip Intel HD Graphics 4000.

    To my knowledge, this chip Intel HD 4000 supports max resolution of 2560 x 1600/32 bit via Display Port.

    I guess more details on Intel's own graphic chip found on the Intel page.

  • HP Envy M6: My HARD drive is not bad on my computer? I have reloaded Win 8 and upgraded to Win 8.1 but he keeps crashing

    Hi need help and answers from an expert!

    My HP Envy M6 Recenly has stopped working correctly, so I decided to recover as soon as possible.  She still had the same problems, so I decided to restore factory with recovery USB flash drive I did.  Always had the same problem happens after I rebooted 8 Win and improved to 8.1.  It would work for a few minutes and stop working I used chkdsk and it says it fixed a few problems with the drive.

    I went through the same steps another 3 times!  After each time that once I had that he would be running again after a clean reinstall.  I would like to run chkdsk and it looks like he fixed some error, but last time, it wouldn't or couldn't find some files to run and crashed.  I tried loading Acronis and tried to reinstall the backup from there but that also failed to correct the problem.  I came to the conclusion that my HD is physically wrong?

    I guess the recovery process would reformat the partitions before you reinstall so it's not a logic error (software)?  From the recovery partition, the recovery Flash disk media and recovery software acronis can fix this, I can only assume, there is a problem with the drive itself?

    Is there a way to check this?  I don't mind replacing the drive to a SSD, so this isn't a problem, but I can't seem to find a product key.  Nothing printed on the bottom.  I read somewhere that it is now integrated with the motherboard bios so can I just use the recovery media that I did on a flash drive?

    Also, I have my backup file but I could never find the location of the image my wife loaded as the photo of "lock" screen which I do not have a copy of.  I have the backup files for windows 8.1 by Acronis and according to me, a Windows backup file on a backup drive, but I was wondering if these "locked screen hidden image" would be held somewhere in these data?  It is not under the images and I have never been able to find or understand where windows keeps this image.  I used the search without success.

    Of course, this is not critical, but I hate losing this particular image.  I hope it's keep somewhere in my back upward and when restoring with a new drive hard I can reload the backup and restore.

    So I really ned knowledge step by step: my HD is bad?  How can I check without having to spend hours to reload only to fail?

    Why chkdisk does not?  Or should I simply replace HD and if so what can I use the new disk recovery media and product ID will be accessible through the motherboard?

    I intend to upgrade to win 10, but I need Win 8 loading first, then move to 8.1 then move to Win 10?  Also in the future if it crashes how can I recover to win 10? Since it is free now but will not be later.  The upgrade will allow me to make a copy (a copy) to win 10?

    A lot of questions, but please provide the fastest solution to my problems and concerns.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello fmhawaii ;

    I read your post on your PC crashing and wanted to help.

    It certainly seems that your hard drive has failed.  Some PC allows the drive to check in the BIOS: test a hard drive in the BIOS. HP® customer support

    If that confirms that the disc is bad, then you will need to replace it.

    As for activation, you are right in that, with Win8x machines, the product key is embedded in the motherboard UEFI firmware, however, the instructions in this link, show you how to recover: find product - key for Windows 8

    When you restore from recovery media, which is supposed to automatically read product key, so you will not have to enter something to activate reinstall it.  My guess is that the drive problems that prevented from happening.

    Acronis allows you to mount an image file by using a drive letter, and once you do this, you should then be able to browse through the content to find the file you want.  However, depending on what part of the logon icon changed, it might be embedded image in a Windows system file, and unless there is a separate copy of this image, it will be very difficult to recover.  IF you Google it, you might be able to find downloadable tools for disassembly of this file and subseuent extraction of this file.

    I wouldn't hurry to Win10, but if you choose to follow this path, don't forget to make a new advance Acronis backup, then you can return to a system of Win8x of work if something is wrong - as the Win10 GoBack function is known to be unreliable.

    Good luck

    I'm a volunteer and I do not work for, or represent, HP.

  • No output micro HDMI after upgrading to Win 8.1

    My new Yoga 2 Pro has a secondary display connected via micro HDMI port. He first worked as a charm. But after upgrading to new Windows 8.1 (this is done automatically) it is no longer produced anything to micro HDMI port. Display and the cable is fully functional. But even if the screen is turned on, the computer is unable to save and apparently it cannot display anything. Micro HDMI port seems to be non-existent.

    After upgrade of windows, I tried to uninstall / reinstall the display driver. I also upgraded to Win 8.1 Intel drivers versions found on the support site of Lenovo (including the BIOS display driver Intel HD 4400 15.33.18.64.3496 and chipset 9.4.0.1026, 76CN38). But nothing seems to work.

    A solution in the forum is to change the cable, but I think that there is no sense here that the cable worked perfectly until the upgrade.

    Can anyone suggest a solution?

    Lenovo: Is there a driver for Intel version 15.36.0.3652 on the Intel Web site. However, there is a blockage on the pilot, you need to install own Lenovo driver downloads. Can you check if this solves the problem?

    Sorry, a new cable solves the problem
