Why the recovery disk freezes

COMPAQ PRESARIO SR5152NX, WINDOWS VISTA 32-BIT is previously downloaded from the factory.

I bought the 08/09/07.  I created recovery dvd system disks when the pc was new.  Never used until now.  No visual

damage on DVD.  First dvd downloads completely.  DVD number two of two downloads at 22% and freezes same spot every time.  Tried again several times.  Clean the disc.

THE WINDOW MESSAGE:

File\windows\system32\winload.exe

STATUS 0XC000000F

Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or damaged.

(end of message)

Hard drive recovery does not work.  I did a check of the equipment and it's ok.

The software seems to be the question and I don't know what's wrong if it's the dvd or

something else.

F11 does not help.  Im stuck in the first qurarter of my second download program of dvd with no place to go.

I don't want to spend a lot of money when I made what was said and created the DVD early.  Just wanted to use it for my

girl as a backup pc.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Try to start with a utility cd to remove partitions, create 1 partition and format the hard drive. I had good results with the free Partition Wizard. Download the iso CD Bootable here . Download ImgBurn here to burn the image to a cd.

When all operations with PW are done trying to start with your recovery discs again. Be sure to disconnect all external devices such as printer, etc. Just keyboard, mouse and monitor attached.

If all else fails, you can buy a new recovery media for $20 worth of HP. They are available on the page of the software/drivers for your model:

  • Why the recovery disks do not work?

    Hi friends:

    My laptop is HP HDX18. He has broken several days so I had to send it to a repair station. I took my laptop station repair for a week. Engineers told me that some material had been changed, such as motherboard, LCD display, but also outer shell. I checked it and it worked fine.

    Before my phone was broken, I did a system recovery discs and they worked well.

    Now I want to restore the system to the initial setting at the factory by the recovery diskettes, BUT! It alert with the words ' this product does not support system recovery!

    Could you please tell me why not recovery discs work? and how to fix this?

    the devices that were replaced are:

    audio device

    graphics chip

    Chipset

    You can go back to that of the repair station and ask for drivers, they must provide you with the pilots because they are the only one who knows what motherboard has been installed.

    your recovery discs no longer work while you do a clean install of your operating system.

    Click on the star to say thank you.

  • I reformatted my T520 with the recovery disk, but Windows cannot start

    I reformatted my T520 with my recovery disk. When the computer restarts, it says that Windows cannot start properly. Help, please.

    I finally solved the problem; Here is my solution:

    I have determined that the backup image has been bad, and this is perhaps why the recovery disks have been as bad. I tried to use both to reformat the C:\drive several times without success. Fortunately, I had a Windows 7 disc from another computer that I no longer use. However, the T520 would not be updated to Windows 7 using this disk, so I run Diskpart to reformat all (this removes everything, including the image.) Then, I was able to reinstall Windows 7.

    With this new facility, would not any responsible drivers, including LAN and wireless drivers. I went on the Lenovo Web site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?selector=expand to download the driver for "Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg). This provided wireless access to the computer. (Downloaded the driver on another computer, saved on a USB stick to transfer to the T520.) Restarted the computer in case where. Then, I went to http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=TVSU-UPDATE to download ThinkVantage System Update 5.0. After you have installed this software and reboot, all the necessary drivers would be so loaded.

    Unfortunately, if you don't have any Windows disk, you will need to pay 50 dollars to get one from Lenovo. Lesson learned? Next time I buy a new computer, the first thing I would do is to reformat and reload the computer by using the image while still under warranty. I did several times with my other Lenovo laptops without fail. I have to do this once every 3 years each time my computer seems to slow down. This is the first time, it didn't work.

    I hope this help anyone who is in the same situation.

    (Boy, I have miss the good old days when I could fix everything from the DOS command prompt.)

  • Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

    Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

    It is important that the one that I use?
    It turns into one big disk?

    The manual says nothing about this.

    Thanks for any help

    Ken

    Hello

    The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
    HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

    But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

    Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

    However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
    The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

  • Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

    I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

    I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

    I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

    Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

    Hey,.

    I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
    If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

    But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
    This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

    Hello

    What kind of DVD that you use to create a Toshiba Recovery disk? I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. A friend tried DVD + R and he couldn t create a recovery disk. After he tried DVD-R and everything was fine but I do not know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.

    Also, check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

  • Info satellite A210 171 what do I need before using the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, have not used before.
    It says on the back of the envelope of recovery disk 'insert the first diskette.

    I guess there should be a second?

    Also this info I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    All I have a black and white sticker that is on the side of the box, it came in, but it was so long ago.

    I'm having a lot of problems with windows install does not and many others.
    Windows updates do not work either and I tried to correct those, but a clean reinstall of the operating system has been recommended.
    Now, at this point nothing will install because windows setup will not work.
    So I think I wil lhave to try a clean install, but I do know that the cd player works.

    I got a great run on this laptop, little slow today for my needs, but all very good product, purchased in 2007.
    With a clean OS and 4 GB of ram that could last for years, cannot afford a new right now.
    I really tried to avoid using a disc of recovery in the past, as I have never had problems until now.

    Thank you

    I m wondering why you get this disc with your laptop, why? Because I do not have the recovery disk, but I had to create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator software
    But my laptop is more recent that your A210 might be the reason why you have this drive

    I have created a recovery disk and I needed two-disc DVD, I think it depends on the size of the image file

    > Also what information I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    This is not necessary because your system has already been activated.

    But I recommend you backup your personal data, because the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and you will lose the files.

    PS: you should read other threads in product recovery forum!

  • Satellite L300 - can't reinstall Vista using the recovery disk

    And thye ned.

    All ideas

    Hello

    Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
    To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

    Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
    Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
    Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

    Maybe it would work

    You need the recovery disc, either the clean Microsoft Windows disk in order to install the operating system gain.
    L30 being a little older, I doubt that you can order the recovery disk

  • Satellite C650 - error reading disk and the recovery disk does not work

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite C650, who has recently developed with a disc read error. I want to access the command prompt to try some possible solutions I've read on the internet.

    I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other acer laptop which has also installed Windows 7 64-bit. When I use the recovery disk and it loaded the files etc it evokes just a black screen and the cursor.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
    I tried to start my computer acer laptop from the recovery disk and it worked fine.

    As is - this does anyone have suggestions as to why I get the message "disk read error - press ctrl, alt and delete to restart?

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis, but of course, there must be a problem with the HARD drive. Can you get a second one for test purposes and exchange it. Just to be sure if the HDD is troublemaker.

    But there is something else:
    > I made a Windows 7 recovery disk using my other computer acer laptop...
    Sorry, but I don t understand this. Can you please explain what you did exactly?

  • Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

    Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
    If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

    If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

    Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
    How did you check that?
    From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

    Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
    This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
    Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

    the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part

    Get your product number by pressing Fn + ESC key or check the Service tag on the bottom, may be under the battery.

    Go to 'Support & drivers' at the top of this page. Enter your product number. After you enter the PN, click Next, then choose the software & Drivers.On the next page use the menu drop down to select your (probably Windows 7 64-bit) operating system. A list will fill with the drivers. Recovery media should be listed as an option to purchase, if you live in the United States / CA. usually around $17.

    If a recovery media is not listed, use the link that I posted above to get the phone number. Often if you support your software fails to create the set they send a free of charge.
