  Hello

  If you have already changed the partitions of HARD drive and deleted files from the HARD disk, then your HARD drive recovery is too bad!

  But to make sure that the HARD drive recovery is not possible please press F8 immediately after the power of the laptop. Usually a start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the option called fix my computer. Then you should be able to choose recovery option.

  But like I said that this is only possible if your HARD drive was not formatted!

  If you have formatted the HARD drive and changed partitions then you will need a Toshiba DVD recovery that you have not because you didn t he create at the beginning. Is this good? Well, then you must order the recovery DVDs if you want to retrieve the laptop to factory settings.

• Tecra M3 PTM30A will not boot from the cd to reinstall windows

  Hi all

  Totally new here and I have a question. I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died.
  I set the bios to boot from the cd. He reads the Windows XP cd for a minute then jump to trying to boot on the network adapter.

  Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?
  If it can boot from a normal cd is the stuffed ROM or am I missing something?

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

  Hello

  > I replaced the hard drive in the laptop, the old man died

  Your new hard drive is recognized by the Bios?

  > Do I need to have the cd of recovery or must it be able to boot from a plain old XP cd?

  You can use a recovery (if available) disk or Windows disk copy. In the Bios, you must set the Cd/DVD-ROM as 1st boot device and press F10 save and exit. Turn it back on. Thus, your computer you should start the installation of the Cd drive.

• How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

  How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

  @AirForce9731,

  You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

  These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

• Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

  Heres one in your brain is going...

  I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

  Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

  The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

  Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

  However...

  When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

  Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

  If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
  The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

  This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

  This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

  Any suggestions would be welcome

  Hello

  Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
  I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

  To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

  > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
  Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?

  then, type diskpart

• Vista 64 does not start after the bios screen. Can not boot from the recovery cd or help

  Last night a MS pushed a windows update and my pc restarted automatically.  But it does not actually restart.

  The PC goes through the bios tests, passes and then crashes and does not start in Vista.

  I can't start at all, including safe mode.

  I can't the system recovery option in HP bios to load.  Can I only use my Vista64 system recovery bootable cd or actually start.

  First of all, I thought it was a HARD drive problem, but tests of the bios disk hard that all spend, even the 2 hours 'SMART' test that he was running.

• How to boot from the CD of Win XP to install the OS on Satellite L

  I put the boot options in the main BIOS to the first device: CD/DVD, Second device: SATA HDD, third device: device Realtek agent, but still goes to the SATA and the existing program.

  There is another box of selection of Boot with SATA as the first device, like the second DVD and it is obviuos that it is the sequence that is followed.
  He spend the top and down arrow to move the selection and ENTER to select the boot device.

  When I press ENTER the screen goes black program starts from the SATA.

  Why are there two boxes of sepearte for Boot Order selection?

  This seems an idea of garbage since they can be set to clash; as is the case in my case.

  If anyone has had this problem or know the answer correct?

  Hello

  I think you mixed with something.
  The boot order can be set as on the other laptop models.
  The second SATA option can set to AHCI or compatibility mode.
  This is necessary because the new laptops with the new SATA HDD controller. Usually Win XP doesn't do not contains the drivers for SATA HDD controller and if you want to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers then you might be the SATA in compatibility mode.

  PS: If you want to boot from the STRANGE then you should press button C immediately after to laptop computer has been turned on. You can also press F12 to activate the start on-screen menu. Then you could choose the STRANGE as a boot device.

  See you soon

• Qosmio G15 never boots from the recovery CD-ROM

  Hi all

  I have Toshiba Qosmio G15 (Win XP Media Center Edition). I installed Phoenix Recover Pro 6 with success. Now the laptop restarts and after the manufacturer LOGO all I get is ERR: TOS0002

  I tried using the recovery CD and it never boots up the CD.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure if the laptop supports the RAID or not but most often the boot from the restore CD should work without any problems. As suggested by Reavers, there could be a conflict with the partitions on the HARD disk.
  You should try to format the whole HARD drive and then try to boot from the Toshiba restore CD.
