Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk. I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM" This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended. I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks?
Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.

My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

AME cannot read from source file???

THE SOLUTIONS POSTED ON THE ADOBE SITE (see below) FOR THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT WORK!!!! Any other suggestions Adobe???
Do one or both of the following solutions:
Solution 1: Create a shortcut to the Premiere Pro executable file, rename the shortcut to Premiere, and move the shortcut to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Close all Adobe applications.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. (If you installed Premiere Pro CS4 in a location other than the default of C:\Program Files\Adobe, then navigate to your custom installation location.)
Right-click on Adobe Premiere Pro.exe (which might appear without the .exe extension) and choose Create Shortcut.
Rename the newly created shortcut to just Premiere.
Important: The name of the shortcut must be exactly Premiere with no other characters.
Open a second Windows Explorer window, and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink.
Move the Premiere shortcut that you created into the dynamiclink folder.
Solution 2: Remove and reinstall all Premiere Pro CS4 components or all Adobe Creative Suite 4 components.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP: Choose Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Windows Vista: Choose Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
In the list of installed programs, select Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, or Adobe Creative Suite 4 Master Collection.
Click Change/Remove (Windows XP) or Uninstall (Windows Vista).
Follow the on-screen instructions to remove all components of Premiere Pro CS4 (including Adobe Encore CS4 and Adobe OnLocation CS4) or to remove all components of your edition of Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Re-install your Adobe software.

Solution 2 did not work. I have been using adobe software for seven years and do not have 'other' problems. The only piece of info I can gather off the forum is that when you have replaced CS3 from a system with CS4, some remnants of CS3 remain to reek havoc. I have isolated the problem to the project file, but still can not get the sequence I need to export or import into another project.

Can't Read from Source File

Hi Guys
I'm using PPr CS5 on Win7 64bit.
I'm not sure if this is strictly for here but can I pick your brains please? I edited in PPr and exported three versions of the same video to AVI (mainly different intros and titles) and they all play fine. I back up my movies to an external disk but one of them always creates an error in the back-up "Can't Read from Source File". The file sizes are 5.3gb for the offending movie and 8.3 for the other two.
I know the answer is to re-export the movie but I'm just trying to get a bit of a handle what could have caused this problem in the first place and if this is a common problem?
Any views?
Regards,
Graham

That doesn't help much. What exactly are you doing when you get the error message?
Are you trying to open a PP project which contains the file?
Are you trying to play a sequence which has clips from that file?
Are you trying to play it in a media player?
Are you trying to import the file into PP?

FRM-40010 error: Cannot read from .... .fmx

FRM-40010 error: Cannot read from ......... .fmx
Hi everyone,
In my formsweb.cfg file, i have an entry
[iapp]
userid=login/login@db
form=Invlogin.fmx
I attempted to launch my application from the desktop by clicking an icon that points to the URL
http://myapp:8888/forms90/f90servlet?config=iapp
and i received a FRM-40010: "Cannot read from Invlogin.fmx" error.
When i moved the file Invlogin.fmx from my development folder to the
C:\Ora9iDS\forms90 folder, the form is displayed.
What's going on and how do i get the f90servlet to look in a particular location and not just C:\Ora9iDS\forms90 as it appears to be doing.
I have included the path to my development folder in the FORMS90_PATH setting both in the registry and in the default.env file but no luck.
Thanks.

Stephen,
does your development folder has a name with a blank in it (or one of the parent directories?). If yes then locate it in a path with no blanks. There is a know problem with blanks in path names.

I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this?

I just bought the new PowerShot G1X. Aperture cannot read the raw files. Is there a fix for this? I am using Aperture 3.2.2 with a MacBook Pro.

I don't know -- sorry. I don't think it matters -- once your camera is supported, you can easily force a re-processing of the Masters. If you can import them as RAW+JPEG pairs, I would. Set the JPG as Master until Aperture can convert the RAWs.
I don't use RAW+JPEG. Can someone who does offer some suggestions .
(Added:)
And _always_ back up your files. In this case, if you have to, you'll be able to re-import them.

When I update my nano ipod I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated. The disk couldnot be read from or written to." How can I overcome this error message.

In the iTunes window, when I update my nano ipod, I get an error message "User ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." How can I overcome this error message.

Hello there dilip77707,
It sounds like you are getting this error message that your iPod cannot be read from or written to when you are trying to update your iPod Nano. I recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get that resolved. Its pretty straight forward, just start at the top and work your way down as needed:
'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Cannot export video: AME cannot read from source, Installation Error

Ok, I've seen a lot of people on here talk about this and I have tried using their solutions but nothing has worked.
I cannot export anything from Premier Pro using Media Encoder. When I try, I get an yellow warning sign saying that it cannot read from the source, and when I close out of it I get a message saying that there is an installation error and that I need to make sure it is installed correctly. I have uninstalled and re-installed ALL of my Adobe products about three times this past weekend trying to fix it and nothing has worked. I have tried making sure that there are no blank spaces in my project, I have named it several different things, I have moved it from my external drive to my main drive, to a different external drive, etc.
I am using a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard, all of my software has been updated, and I am very frustrated.
Help?

Bummer!
Well, it was worth a shot, as externals/network drives have been known to cause similar.
Now, there were issues with Encore and Snow Leopard, but I do not recall all of the details, as I am a PC-guy, and have to admit that first I do not know squat about Macs, and probably do not read Mac threads as closely, as I should. Seems that Apple was working on an update to Snow Leopard, and again from recollection, it seems that that update helped several on the Encore forum. Have you updated Snow Leopard?
Sorry to just sit here guessing, and probably wasting valuable time for you, but until a Mac-user with the "fix" comes along, the PC-community will try to help. Be patient with us though. Our intentions are good ones, but our expertise is lacking - at least in MY case.
Good luck,
Hunt

Cant read from source file

I´ve been using Compressor 4 for a long time, but thought I would give AME a try to see if there is any difference in quality. I added about 70 ProRes clips to the render que, each is between 4 and 30 seconds. These are clips with a lot of animation and effects, but they have already been exported to 1920 x 1200 ProRes files. I have 6 different presets: DXV and PhotoJPEG codec with three different resolutions each. When I start the que I get an error message saying that source file cant be read. Please check if it

Everything is fine but when i run it, it produces an error message

                                                            incrementCustc();

                                   st.close();
                                   con.close();
                                  } catch(Exception ex) {
                                       System.err.print("Exception: ");
                                       System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
                             }

Maybe 851.0 is float value, not string.
Try Object columnValue1 =
rs.getObject(i); instead of String
columnValue1 = rs.getString(i);
You are absolutely right i actually change the line
custNo =Integer.parseInt(columnValue1);
into
custNo =Double.parseDouble(columnValue1);
Thanks alot :)

Itunes cannot read from or write to disk

So I just got this new notebook, and I moved all my itunes files over and tried to sync my ipod touch. It didn't work out so well... I got an error message saying that the disk could not be found, it begins to sync and then I got an additional message saying that the ipod could not be read from or written to.

Pack the old ipod up and send it back, soon or they will charge you $119 on your Credit Card. Sounds like there may be a possibility that your ipod shuffle may not be communicating with your USB ports properly. Try running the ipod updater software and try restoring the ipod. If that does not work, test your shuffle on another computer to see if it may not be an issue with the USB port. I know the 20GB works fine...But it still just may not communicate properly for some reason. As for updating the shuffle, I create a playlist in my itunes and when I plug in my shuffle, it gives me an option to autofill. I just select the playlist I want loaded to my ipod and hit autofill...Which works just fine for me.

AME cannot read from source location

I've read up and down the forums about people having trouble with Adobe Media Encoder and no one
has posted a clear answer.
I am working on an iMac running OSX version 10.6.2. My processor is a 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo and I have 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM.
My problem lies in exporting a sequence from Premiere Pro CS4 to video.
I highlight my sequence, which previews perfectly in Premiere, then go to File > Export > Media...
I choose my settings and click OK.
Promptly, AME pops up and places my selection in the queue with a status of "Waiting."
I then click "Start Queue."
At this point, AME does nothing for roughly 6 minutes.
After this time, the status of the queued item changes to a warning symbol.
Clicking on the warning symbol, I get the AMEEncodingErrorLog.txt
Here, it tells me "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
While checking what source file it is refrencing, I notice that it creates a new file every time I queue something new.
These source files are all in the folders referenced by AME.
Why can't AME just work?

Finally, I have found the answer. On a CreativeCow.net forum, user Bill Clark posted the solution. Found here: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/886944
Re: CS4 Premiere Won't Encode Videos..
by Bill Clark on Dec 7, 2008 at 1:56:10 am
OK, believe it or not, 5 mins after I posted my rant I managed to solve my problem. It had nothing to do with all the stuff that everybody on the web was suggesting about re-installs and clean scripts. Something much simpler. I have a few plug ins on AE - Sapphire, Magic Bullet etc and I realised that every adobe programme was loading them on start up. And I kept getting an error message from Premiere Pro and Media Encoder about Magic Bullet looks - that it wasn't registered. It was driving me nuts because it is. I reinstalled everything twice, and during this process spotted that Adobe is now putting all the plug ins in a central folder - which it refers to as media core. This on a Mac is at Macintosh HD/Library/Application Suport/Adobe/Common/Plug ins/CS4. (There might also be a CS3 file as well)
It occurred to me that this might be causing confusion - Media Encoder trying to load plug ins that it doesn't understand and might not be licensed for in the XML file. So I pulled them out of there and put them straight into the AE CS4 plug in folder. Bingo. All the plug ins run fine - AND SO DOES MEDIA ENCODER! And now, no problems at all with the dynamic links between AE, Premiere Pro and ME.
I'm not saying this is the solution for everyone - but it's worked for me. Hope it helps somebody.
Over and out.

So there is nothing wrong inertly with AME, just that it was trying to load plugins that it ought not. Thanks for all the help leading to this solution.

While starting up portal server gateway I get an error "cannot read from rp.keystore, unable to read the PKCS key".

The OS is solaris 8 and portal server 3. The first installation went through properly and we had installed many other applications also along with portal server. Then we had to ship the machine to some other city and restarted with same IP address, host address and domain, and also made a LAN without hooking onto the main network. From then on we are facing this problem. Even tried reinstallation a couple of times, after uninstall and deleting/renaming rp.keystore. The main problem looks like gateway not being able to read rp.keystore. The password required for reading it is the admin password which works fine the admin console.By invoking certstore also I am getting the same error.

There is a couple of things I can think of here, one is the permission, you need to install the gateway as root , make sure the gateway and relevant files are installed as root and have the right access permissions.
There should be file called .rppass and this contains the password and this should match the same password that you have used for the admin console.
I would recommend you to use 3.0sp3a instead of 3.0 for better performance and scalability.
