Can't recover software to Satellite L745-S4210 with new hard drive

Was using the laptop when it completely froze. Used power button to force shutdown. When restarted, hard drive was making a ticking noise and got this error message:
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key.
Setup utility did not show the presence of a hard disk drive. Assumed that hard drive had gone back.
Purchased a new hard disk drive at MicroCenter. Toshiba 2.5-inch SATA 640GB drive, the same drive that came in the laptop from the factory. Also used the opportunity to upgrade RAM from 4MB to 8MB.
Installed new hard disk drive and new memory. Ordered the Recovery Disk set from Toshiba.
At startup, new hard drive doesn't tick. Setup utility sees a Toshiba hard disk drive. Got the "no bootable device" message. Inserted the first disk of the Recovery package and held down the C key, per instructions. System began to respond but then switched to Windows Boot Manager screen.
Here are the error messages:
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
Reseated both new hard drive and new RAM. Tried again with same result. Reinstalled old RAM. Tried again with same result.
Now at a wall. What has gone wrong? Is the new hard disk bad? Bigger problem. The unit is outside the factory warranty.
Any help is appreciated.

File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc00000e9
Info: An unexpected I/O error has occurred
I don't understand how that could appear when you boot from a recovery disc with a new hard drive in place. It implies there is something on the drive.
   0xc00000e9 "Boot\BCD" "unexpected I/O error "
Maybe try another drive?

  • Satellite Pro 460 won't start with new hard drive in

    I recently got a Satellite Pro 460 but it had no hard drive in.
    It starts great with no drive in but as soon as I put a brand new hard drive in it won't start.
    I thought that it might be to new a hard drive so I took my old working drive out my old Toshiba Satellite and still it won't start.
    Any one got any ideas why this is and what can i do about it

    It sounds like 80GB is too large for that model, I really doubt the BIOS and Chipset can support more than 8GB HDD. 8GB may not even work.
    Here is some information regarding different HDD modes and limitations: http://www.adminxp.com/hardware/index.php?aid=129
    504MB - limitation where the system is limited by the compatibility with the values of the BIOS system and the ATA interface by help of using the CHS mode. This limitation is valid for older computers 286/386/486. (1024 cyl 16 heads x 63sectors/track x 512 = 528,482,304bytes - 504 MB). In many cases special programs will help (Disk Ontrack Manager - Seagate, Disk Wizard - WD). Some operating systems can have problems with this software support and can have higher requirements on your knowledge of the OS and used programs.
    2GB - Limitation of the maximal value of the FAT16 file system partition for DOS and Windows 9x. Some older computers cannot address more than 4095 cylinders (4,095 x 16 x 63x 512 - 2,113,413,120 bytes)
    4GB Limitation of Windows NT - Partition with the FAT16 system cannot be higher than 4GB - Fdisk cannot be used for creating, but the Disk manager is used (Disk management in Windows 2000)
    8GB - Limitation of the BIOS system. For the support of larger capacities you need extended functions of the BIOS system. Limitations valid for the x86 computers and some motherboards with Pentium and Pentium II processors. Some other operating systems must know how to use the extended BIOS functions (Extended Interrupt 13). We can use Windows NT 4.0 as an example where you need an updated disk driver or the Service Pack. (OS - DOS 6.xx and lower, Windows 3.x and lower and some other older OS do not have the support of the Ext. Int13).
    8 GB - Limitation of the FDISK program in the DOS 6.22 OS.
    ?? GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    32GB - (65535 x 16 x 63 x 512 - 33,822,351,360 bytes) other limitation of the BIOS system.
    68GB - Possible problem with disks larger than 67GB under Windows 9x... See article WD800
    137GB - Limit for the ATA specifications (28-bit addressing for particular sectors - 268435455 sectors - 137,438,952,960 bytes)
    2,2 TBytes - 32-bit addressing used by new operating systems (in Windows 98 by help of the FAT32 file system).
    144 PetaBytes - a limit for new ATA specification using 48-bit addressing, in peparation. Maxtor, Microsoft, VIA, Compaq and other companies under name Big Drives participate the development. The standard should be implemented and authorized by the ANSI NCITS T13 Technical Committee organization (www.t13.org) in the prepared ATA/ATAPI-6 standard (see www.maxtor.com/bigdrive)

  • Satellite A30: Question about new Hard Drive

    The hard drive on the above computer has failed. When formating the system hangs at 70%. When running a utility to recover the hard drive again it fails at 70%.
    I am now looking at replacing the hard drive and would like to know can any 2.5" hard drive (speed/make/size) be used (non Sata).
    I would have assumed it would not be a problem but there is no way of changing the settings in the Bios, does the Bios auto detect the drive when fitted?.
    When fitting the hard drive can it be fitted through the access panel on the rear of the laptop or does the whole back need to be removed?
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Hi Keith,
    The hard drive on the satellite A30 is located underneath the optical drive which must be removed from its slot first. To do this just undo one screw (F5 I think) underneath the notebook and the optical drive will then be free to slide forwards.
    The hard drive will then be visible secured in place by four screws (2 on each side). Remove the screws and then pull the hard drive towards the front of the notebook to disconnect it from the connector.
    You will need to transfer the mounting brackets to the new hard drive which is then inserted by reversing the above procedure.
    The BIOS will automatically recognise the new drive.
    If you choose a drive with a higher rotaional speed than the normal 4200RPM be careful of the extra heat that will be generated. I use a 5400RPM drive in my A30 and it does tend to warm up quite nicely when the drive is being used heavily.

  • How can I restore my iPod touch data to a new hard drive when the old one crashed

    My computer crashed and I want to put the contents of my iPod Touch back on the new hard drive. How do I do this without accidentally Syncing and copying over my data? The vast majorioty of the music on my iPod is my own from DCs I own.

    You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
    If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.  To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

    Hello Joe,
    Yes you can. There are 2 different routes you can take.
    (1)  Use the manual method outlined in this article

  • Can I install CS6 a 3rd time on a new hard drive?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if there was anyway to install CS6 on a new hard drive. I first downloaded it on my Desktop away at home (I study 3,000 miles away) and then on my MacBook Pro. My MacBook fell and it now runs impossibly slow and is likely on it's way out for good. I managed to write down my serial number for Photoshop, I'm not sure if it's what I need for InDesign and Illustrator. I'm trying to have my damage hard drive transferred to an external drive. With any luck I can hopefully get to succeed with all my licensed software.
    I remember there being listings of my personal license key or serial number here on Adobe.com. Is there anyway to access them here on Adobe.com, and will I need my serial number, license number or activation number? Also, can I get the rest of the suite back even though I only have Photoshop's serial number?
    Thanks!

    If you cannot deactivate it on your broken computer, you will need to Contact Customer Care to reset your activation count.
    If your Adobe products are part of a suite, then they should all activate with the same serial number.

  • How can I recover my data I erased on my external hard drive

    I have a Seagate external 1TB plus hard drive, last night I was trying to drag my folder on my mac(Macbook pro retina 13, 2015, just got it this month) to it but it didn't work, so I searched on Apple solution, it tells me to open the disk utility then click erase then change the setting from NTFS to Mac OS Extended(Journaled). Then everything in my hard drive is gone.
    I downloaded couple recovery software but I absolutely know nothing about how to use them.
    If you can help please write the details so I can follow the steps.
    There's many important family photos of my childhood and my family, some of them passed away already and I would never have a chance to take a pic with. Your help will be truly appreciated.
    Thank you all!!!!!

    Just FYI... if you want to share your external drive between Macs and PCs, you will want to use either FAT32 or exFAT as your drive format.  Macs do not natively read/write NTFS any more than PCs natively read/write MacOS Extended.  FAT32 cannot have a partition greater than 32GB so you would have to partition your 1TB drive to use FAT32.  exFAT doesn't have this limitation.  Best to format the drive on a PC to ensure compatibility between the two.
    If you will only be using this drive with your Mac, use MacOS Extended (Journaled).
    Always back up your data before erasing, partitioning, or formatting a drive unless you don't care about losing the data.

  • How to recover HP recovery manager after replacing a new hard drive

    Recently i've got alot of BSOD saying Bad_System_Configuration_Info, and i ran a hp start up test and my hard drive failed the short DST test, so i searched online and it says that it means my hard drive is failing.
    im planning to buy a new hard disk. i dont have a windows disk to recover my windows 7, so i wanted to copy the hp recovery partion from the old drive to the new one. i dont know how to do it, i wonder if anyone knows. i dont have any recovery disks and i dont think i can order one so i want to restore my new hdd without using disks and using my old hdd`s recovery manager from hp
    i bought the computer in US but i moved to china so im assuming that i will buy a new HDD that is not from Hp ? i dont know if this will still work cause i hear that it has to be HDD from hp to work
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Here's an alternative option you can use.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the  same version that originally came with your notebook - ie Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • M45-S165 with new Hard Drive will not reformat and recover.

    I replaced the crashed Hitachi 80GB hard drive with a new WD 320 GB WD3200BEVE. I have the Toshiba Recovery and Applications / Drivers DVD Satellite M40/M45 Series CD, media number TK143/PMAE00300010. I start the computer, insert the disc and shut it down and wait a minute. When I restart the computer and press the F12 key when I see the Toshiba screen and I select boot from CD Drive and press enter. Then the screen goes black and "Starting Windows 98" shows up with other copy. Next I get "Welcome to the Toshiba Recovery Utility" and press F1 for OK to accept license agreement. Next I get "Recovery in process" briefly then the WARNING screen for erasing hard drive and press "C" for continue. Next "Toshiba" screen comes up again then "starting windows 98" again, then "Welcome to recovery utility" again. I press F1 then "C" and it starts all over again. What am I missing?

    Hi, hjbugs, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Disconnecting the drive while your Powerbook was accessing it probably caused your problem. It may be repairable using DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, but if you don't have access to one of those and aren't going to buy one, reformatting the drive with Disk Utility may be the only other way to make it usable again. If it contains data you need to recover first (i.e., data that isn't also stored on your internal HD or other storage media), download the free demo version of one of the data recovery utilities mentioned in this thread and use it to see what is recoverable. If the files you need are recoverable, buy the full version of one of the utilities and recover them.

  • Can I use HP System Recovery Disks on a new hard drive replacement with a lower storage capacity?

    Can I use the HP System Recovery Disks from my HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertaimnent Notebook PC when I replace the failing hard drive with a smaller storage capacity hard drive?  Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF) and I am planning to replace it with the Toshiba HDKCB26 500GB 2.5 inch Hybrid Hard Drive.  I read that I cannot use a System Image to restore the hard drive because it is a smaller capacity then the original Hard Drive. If this is true, it seems that my only option is to use the HP Recovery Disks.

    Hi:
    Normally the HP recovery disks don't work on a smaller hard drive either, but it may be possible in your case if HP offered a 500 GB HDD in that model series.
    No guarantees though.

  • PowerBook G4 With New Hard Drive - Can't boot from 10.2 OS Install Disk

    My sister's hard drive died so I bought and installed a new Seagate 160GB drive. She has OS 10.2 OS disks but is not sure if they were for this computer. The fact that the computer is copyright 2004, and the disks 2002 makes me wonder. When I try to boot with the 10.2 disk, I never see the drive icon when I'm booting up. Holding keys results in:
    Option - Return Arrow and Next Arrow, no drive icons
    T - With attached USB DVD drive - only get the strange floating Y with the circle in the middle
    None - just the folder and ?
    I've also reset the PRAM.
    Are these the right disks? If so, is there something else I need to do to have the computer recognize the CD when booting up?
    The disks are white with the Jaguar(?) spotted X. The only text on them say Mac OS X v10.2/Install disk 1; Not for Resale; Version 10.2/2Z691-3706-A; the Mac and Apple logos and the copyright 2002 notice.

    Hi, kjfrey55 -
    Typically the OS version that a machine originally shipped with is the minimum OS version it can use.
    Based on info from the s/n you gave, your machine is a PowerBook G4 (15 inch) model, with an estimated ship date of Aug '04.
    That model originally shipped with OSX 10.3.3. It can not use OSX 10.2.
    It can use a retail OSX Panther disk set provided that the version on it is OSX 10.3.4 or higher (if those exist).
    It can also use a retail OSX 10.4 (Tiger) disk set.
    You may be able to get a replacement original disk set for it from Apple's Customer Service -

  • Satellite M60-164 with Major Hard Drive problems

    It started about 3 months ago. Each time the computer started, it would get a certain distance and then the BSOD would turn up and immediately disappear and the computer would restart. Yesterday I discovered the F8 trick to make the BSOD stick around for a while. It turns out the problem was an "Unmountable Boot Volume". I inserted my Windows CD, and ran the repair center thingydingy, and entered chkdsk /r. It said there seemed to be unrecoverable problems on the hard drive.
    I bought the computer 2 years ago, and I think I only have a 1 year warranty.
    What are my options?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Looks a little bit like an HDD fault!
    Did you try to install the OS again on the HDD?
    Check if this is possible
    After the OS installation you could try to run some HDD repair tools like for example the HDD Regenerator.

    If this does not help check if the HDD replacement helps you to solve this problem!

  • Can I recover lost library from Windows backup file after hard drive crash?

    I'm sure this has been visited before, so I'm sorry if this is redundent.
    My daughters Windows notebook had to be reformatted because of a severe virus. I had all important files including iTunes songs backed up onto portable Hard Drive. Got her notebook up and running and then restored her songs back to her computer (but not into the original location). Plugged in her iPod Mini and now it shows no files at all on the Mini and iTunes will not access or recognize the songs that I restored
    Prior to the restoring she was able to listen to her complete music collection on the iPod Mini.
    I still have access to the backup files either on the Hard Drive or in a separate folder from which I restored the first time. Should I completely erase the songs from the notebook now and then access the backup file?
    And how do I get the Mini and iTunes to recognize the music once and for all?
    Thanks for any advice, help, and suggestions.

    HP Pavilian Notebook   Windows XP   iPod Mini.

    What you will do depends on if you have the "iTUnes Music Library.xml" file on backup. By default this file is stored on
    C (Or the drive windows is on)/documents and settings/............/My Documents/My Music/iTunes
    If you DO have this file on backup, then you will have to set all the music to its EXACT location it was before reformatting

  • Satellite C660 - Need a new hard drive, but which one?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1f1 64bit run windows 7. The 320GB hard disk has had it and I want to replace it preferably with a larger capacity one but I'm unsure what would be suitable.
    Does anyone have any suggestions please?

    Hi
    Satellite C660 as well as other new generation notebook models supports SATA controller and this means that you need an SATA 2.5 HDD.
    The HDD size is not relevant for device compatibility. This means you can use HDD with 250GB, 500GB etc
    But I would not take an HDD for an upgrade. I would choose an SSD drive. Such SSD drive is more expensive but believes me; its definitely worth to take a SSD instead of HDD.
    You will get great performance boost. Also such SSD drive is very silent.
    Maybe its better option for you
