If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match version that came installed on your PC as listed on the Microsoft COA sticker attached to bottom of laptop. Such as Windows Home Premium.
Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads:
http://www.w7forums.com/threads/official-windows-7-sp1-iso-image-downloads.12325/page-2#post-124821
You can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file you download. Link and instructions below. You need a DVD+R or DVD -R . Or a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool#installation
Use the 25 character key on the COA to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Next go to your support and driver page to install the drivers you need.

Boot data configuration missing or with errors

I have a Satelllite L870-15W, and no way to turn the system on.
All it says is "Toshiba" (the welcome screen) and then (after having pressed f8 or f9):
file: efi/micorsoft/boot/bcd,
status 0x0000001;
the boot configuration data for your or is missing or contains errors.
I have only recovery partition at D: but cannot access it. What shall I do?

Spec here too.

It probably means the BCD is missing or corrupt.
To repair this, you need to access the recovery environment. Microsoft says Windows 8 will eventually take you there if it fails to boot many times. You can also get there using a System Repair Disc or a Windows 8 installation DVD like this downloadable one. You need the 64-bit disc.
It's possble this will also work on your Toshiba machine. Restart the computer by pressing the power button and immediately start tapping the F12 key until the Boot Menu appears. Using the arrow keys, select <HDD Recovery>.
WinRE looks like this. Select Troubleshoot and then Advanced options.
Lots of things to try. See KB2622803 for boot sector problems. The article assumes Windows Vista/7. The same fixes look different in Windows 8, but are all available.
If Automatic Repair (Startup Repair in 8.1) and System Restore fail, use the bootrec tool at the command prompt. This applies to Windows 8 also.
   Use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair startup issu...
Don't give up until you have tried replacing the BCD itself as follows. (Sometimes the partition is not named "c" and you need to try another letter.)
   c:
   cd boot
   attrib bcd -s -h -r

MOVED: Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
Windows cannot boot because of missing/corrupt hal.dll! Help!

Hi,
make sure you have disconnected all non-essential external devices (printers, scanners, external harddisk) prior to installing BootCamp Windows.
Leave only mouse, keyboard and display connected.
Make sure that your XP CD is either retail or OEM/systemBuilder version and not a manufacturer-bundled one.
Also make sure that the CD is 'clean' (no dust, no scratches, etc.).
Use the BootCamp Assistant to revert back to one single OSX volume.
Use OSX Disk Utility to Verify your harddisk and repair permissions.
Retry the XP installation from scratch.
Generally using NTFS is more likely to not getting the 'missing hal.dll' error.

ThinkPad Edge unable to use System Recovery Options

I am helping a friend with a laptop problem. The HDD has had problems in the past and already been restored once. Now it won't boot and I'm unable to access the f8 boot options in order to use Safe Mode. I was able to boot using Kaspersky, but it doesn't show the whole HDD and files.
I've given up trying to access files and just want to try to get the PC working again. I tried using the System Recovery Options and doing a restore, but after it launches I get a message that says "You must log in in order to access System Recovery Options."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Good day and welcome to the community.
It may help others provide advice with a bit more information about the system you're working on. TP Edge model, windows version, etc.
Cheers.

Time Machine: "Unable to copy the recovery set"

I am using OSX 10.7.5 and attempting to set up Time Machine to back up to an external 1TB WD My Passport for Mac drive. I've worked through a couple of issues during setup, but I'm still seeing some odd logging in the Console and I'm not sure it's truly working.
On initial attempts to backup, I received several of the following errors, and the backup ultimately failed:

Several were related to files associated with GarageBand, which I don't use, so I excluded them from backup via Time Machine Preferences. I still received a few (as above), but ultimately I see "Backup Completed Successfully". However, I still have an error message saying "Unable to copy the recovery set", so I'm wondering if the backup was not actually successful.

I've erased the drive and ensured the partition format matches my main drive. I'm not sure if this is indicative of anything, but if the laptop is on battery power when Time Machine is scheduled to execute, I get 2 messages in the Console - one with my Mac name, the other with unknown. However, when Time Machine fully executes, all messages come from unknown.

Switching off the iPhoto screen saver and trashing its plist file stopped the directory corruption issue. Even so, backups would not work.
Thinking it might be a WD issue, I went to the Western Digital support site and found a firmware update (designed to eliminate hardware ID conflicts when running two WD external HDs) and a newer "drive manager" (formerly called button manager). Installing the firmware update on my backup destination and the drive manager software seems to have eliminated the problem. I've been backing up over the hub successfully for almost 24 hours. Cross your fingers.

Thanks for your reply! I must apologise for the quality of my post. I inadvertently posted it before it was corrected.
I am very disappointed with this iMac. It is only 18 months old and this will be the third visit to the workshop. I had expected more from Apple and from their repair agents. Luckily I have AppleCare.

W530 unable to create factory recovery disc's

Hi all, Happy with new W530 but unable to create factory recovery discs.. Searched and found possible solutions in knowledge base and forum but none worked Until know Files for recovery media not found... (although i have two lenovo recovery partitions on SDD) Called support and they offered website to order recovery disc's (not for free???) Ok... then..filling in the necessay forms and providing all data ended up in not able to choose for Dutch language recovey disc's . How to proceed?

In my opinion, there should be a secure way for the owner of the machine to download the images in .ISO format so you can burn them. Of course information would need to be verified to prove you are entitled to do so, but this doesn't need to be overly complicated.
Don't forget you can always get a Windows 7 disk and use the serial number under your battery to install Windows from scratch.
The only time I use the factory image disk set is if I decide to sell a machine. I'll image it back to the factory state. It's a pretty rare event.

Boot Camp partition missing, VMware Fusion not working

I'm using OS 10.10.2
Windows 7
Fusion 7.1.0
Winclone 3.7
I've been sharing a boot camp partition with Fusion for a while. I don't know when it happened but when I recently tried to log in using Boot Camp, the partition didn't show up in Apple's start up screen or in the Finder even though I could see it in Fusion.
I needed to expand the partition so I backed it up with Winclone changed the partition from 40 to 75 gig and reinstalled the Winclone file.
Now I'm unable to boot into Windows using Fusion and I still can't see the Boot Camp partition when I start up.
Fusion said
so I did.
The new virtual machine said
and
Now it wants me to upgrade Windows.
Please help.

I saw R.NTFS so I started on the Windows DVD and ran Repair.
Unfortunately I still can't get Boot Camp to do anything beside give me a flashing cursor on a black screen.
What else can I do?
This is from the terminal screen after I did everything above. It still says R.NTFS

Boot Camp is missing after installing windows 8.1

One year ago i installed Windows 8 preview on my macbook air with Boot Camp and it has been working perfect until now.
I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 full version directly from microsoftstore, but afterwards Boot Camp driver was missing from Windows (from Notification Area and Task Manager->Startup). Then i cant switch back to OS X.
Need help!

holding in option key during startup present you with the option of which partition you wish you boot into
you find the latests apple bootcamp drivers and utils here
Apple - Support - Downloads
just need to find the version which match your mac

Boot Camp - Setup was unable to create a new system partition....from Windows install

Hi folks. So I ran the boot camp wizard and made a USB install key for windows from that. I boot to it and everything works until I get to the install. I format the Boot Camp partition as indicated in the walkthrough and then I get "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information." from the Windows installer. What do I do? Thanks.

just to add to the mix. . . i just got a new macbook retina.
Originally used a USB flash drive. Hit the same barrier described here.
Spent a few hours with drive unplugging / replugging silliness. No progress. Went back into OSX to attempt using an external DVD drive. There is no option for that in Bootcamp assistant now - must use USB.
Grabbed a different USB stick and started again. This time I used the other USB port on the macbook (the one on the left). Everything worked fine this time!?
You still have to go into "advanced options" and hit "format" when you get to the partition screen.
Moral of the story: different stick, different port. Sounds random. If that doesn't work, try changing your socks and putting on a hat.
Good luck!

Hi，
I think you can start your computer and long press F8 or other keys (depends on the PC model) to enter the BIOS, set the boot option, make the PC boot from CD\ROM Drive, then customize the installation, resize the partition, you can refer

Boot camp partition missing

I'm trying to install Windows XP on my MacBook Pro and when it asks me to select a partition during Windows installation, the boot camp partition I'm supposed to select is missing. I created a 32 GB partition using Boot camp Assistant and it's not showing up. The only partition that is showing up is "C: Partition1 [Unknown]". Any help would be appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
such behaviour usually comes up when your XP CD is not at Service Pack level 2 (SP2) but rather an older one.
Check with the disc label of the XP CD or, if you don't find any hint there, insert the CD while in OSX and look at the root directory of the CD for a file named 'winip51.sp2'
If that file is not there, your XP CD is not a SP2 one.
XP SP2 (at minimum) is a must for installing through BootCamp.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899
Microsoft has introduced some new features with the SP2 which are essential for installing XP on a Mac.
While there are very little successful installations of a XP SP1 on a Mac, in the majority of cases it simply does not work.
If you have access to a Windows PC or have a friend with one, you can use this procedure http://www.winsupersite.com/xp/sp3_slipstream.asp to make a XP SP2 or SP3 installation CD out of your older XP CD.
No need to shell out extra money.
Hope it helps.

Satellite Pro A60 won't boot: config.sys missing or corrupt

Hi,
I turned my computer off on Friday, went back to his Monday - and it won't boot up. I'm told that the config.sys file is either missing or corrupt.
I've tried all the usual methods - safe mode, last known good setting, OS etc but none of it works. The computer doesn't recognise that the recovery CD is in the drive, either.
As I don't have an original installation CD - the computer came with the software already installed - I can't try that either.
I don't particularly want to recover the whole system but if I have to, I can live with it. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Many thanks.
Ronmac

I checked out the recovery disk and it attempts to work in another non-Toshiba computer and it attempts to loadhe local computer store (PC World) tested my laptop and told me the DVD/CD drive was faulty (they'd only replaced that a few months ago) and I need a new one. However, that wouldn't have anything to do with the original non-bootup error, as far as I know (config.sys missing or corrupt).
The drive recognises CD perfectly.
