Hi David,

Thank you for getting back to us with additional information.

If you have another computer with Windows 7 or Vista installed, you can create Windows 8 DVD installation of this system. But you need to get the product key Windows 8 of the manufacturer of the computer. Please refer to this link and create a DVD of Windows 8.

    For users in previous posts with problems and have only a version downloaded to Win 8 - well I'd say that you yourself create a DVD of the version uploaded to win 8 - the installation program ask you if you want to create media - that will create a 4.x GB. ISO file that you can burn to DVD. There is enough information on how to do this just search online.

    With regard to creating a way to initiate Win8 installer from USB Eh well I heard the ffg tool works with Win 8 too but cannot vouch for her since have never tried so its at your own risk.

    Hello Daniel,.

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

    According to the description you get the error Boot Configuration data (BCD). I totally agree with you that, in order, to rebuild the Boot Configuration data (BCD) we need the installation media.

    If you do not have any other computer to create the installation media, then it is best to contact the manufacturer of your computer instead to buy Windows from outside. If your computer is under warranty, they can provide you with the ERD free of charge or at minimal cost.

    If you manage to organize other computers or repair disk, try the steps below. You can try to create installation media by following the steps described in the article mentioned below.

    To create installation media Windows 8.1

    • Boot from the DVD of Windows 8.
    • Click repair your computer.
    • Click Troubleshooting , and then select Advanced Options.
    • Click on command prompt and type the following commands and press enter after each command:

    Bootrec /fixmbr

    Bootrec /fixboot

    Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    • Restart the computer.
    • Check if the problem persists.

    Get back to us with your question was last updated. We will be more than happy to help you.

  • the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

    Hello

    I got this message when recovery... I can't get the windows... I have the CD recovery, but when I boot it... It gives me this message

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    All pilots additional and the software you may need are located by entering your full model number or Nr here.

    Hey Buddy

    Unfortunately, it seems that Linux is not supported by Toshiba and so there is no Linux drivers published on the page of the driver.

    If you need some drivers, I would recommend looking at the sites of chip manufacturing.

  • Corrupt Windows Vista boot configuration data?

    Hey there.

    So, my Acer Aspire 5570 actually running Vista for a while now. I tried to have it dual boot a Linux OS, worked well, then, I received a message "corrupt boot configuration data" when I tried to boot to Vista. I googled for answers, and I was not able to find any help. The only way I can get into Vista is via a command prompt any. I did everything that he restore points, and I've never had the OS installation discs. ZORIN, the Linux OS partition works very well. Any help?

    UPDATE: I think I can find something. You are not sure if it will work, but worth it, right? BTW, it starts at the Startup Repair, and I go into the advanced options or something.

    UPDATE (again): looks like Zorin has replaced ALL my files in Vista, even if it was SAID NOT TO DO THAT (yes I yell at computers, problem?) I tried these links: http://www.troublefixers.com/unable-to-boot-in-windows-vista-windows-boot-configuration-data-file-is-missing-required-information/, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/rebuild-bcd-store-windows.htm, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termsl/p/logon.htm, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/recovery_console_commands.htm and http://pcsupport.about.com/od/termss/p/system-recovery-options.htm, but nothing worked. I have to buy a new version of Vista and install it? My Acer is a bit too old to upgrade, I think.

    Hello

    You do not need to buy a new version of Vista, you can reinstall the version you have as often you want on this machine.

    Something has gone wrong with your Dual Boot with Linux; but there is a special way to set that up, which is often mentioned in the Linux/Ubuntu Forums.

    If you want to reinstall Vista again, IF this option is still available, you press LEFT Alt + F10 keys at startup and Vista is re-installed normally Acer 'hidden' partition recovery.

    http://Acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/2631

    If the dual-boot ruined who, you might ask Acer to send you recovery disks, which they used to do for a small fee.

    But Acer has ceased to provide the recovery disc Vista for most, if not all of its models.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Hello

    In my opinion, there is something wrong with your mater boot (MBR) of the drive and therefore the bootloader causes an error.

    Usually, you might be able to fix it using the original disk of Vista but it s really strange that this problem still occurs after the update to vista.

    In my eyes, you should really check if the same problem would happen using the Toshiba factory settings and configuration.

    Good luck

    Here's how to use the Vista startup repair disk. is NOT a Vista reinstall disk.

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    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.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to reinstall Vista:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    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

    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.
