  • How to Use a System Repair Disc to Restore Windows 7 For Seniors For Dummies

    Hi I'm new to this forum and I haven't seen the proper place to post some thing like this. I'm going to post it here and staff can do what they wish with it.
    I can't understand why people aren't creating a System Repair Disc to Restore Windows 7. This is the best tool you can have. I have seen a ton of people posting here that can't boot into Windows 7. No mention of a repair Disc. Can you people not read?? This should be one of the first things to do after creating System Recovery Media(Mine requires 5DVD's). What is your thinking not to do these things?

  • Satellite P105-S6197: How to use the system recovery disc

    Greetings,
    I have a P105-S6197 and I have followed the instructions on the recovery disc,
    1. Place the disc or #1 disc into the drive.
    2. Power up the computer while holding down the "C" key (release the "C" key when the screen reads "Toshiba")
    but these instructions do not work the computer just boots up normally and never runs the disc.
    Is there another way to get the disc to run so that I can completely reformat my computer to the way it was when it was first purchased.
    Thanks, Edana

    I can provide the same information like kody:
    There are different options to enable the booting from the CD/DVD drive.
    The first one is pressing the C button (you should press it several times) immediately after notebook was powered up.
    The second possibility could be the F12 button.
    This would enable the boot menu on the screen and then you could choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.
    Last but not least you could change the booting order in the BIOS.
    Set the CD/DVD drive (ODD) at the first place and the notebook should boot from the inserted, bootable CD automatically.
    Regards

  • Windows won't start and can't get system repair disc to run

    I have a toshiba A505-S6980 and suddenly windows will not load up and start.  I did get to safe mode and saw some windows files load up but safe mode doesn't really open up windows where I can do anything.  I have a System Repair Disc and the System Recovery discs I can run but I can't get to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard.  How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?

    Satellite A505-S6980
    How can I get the "D" drive to open to try and use the system repair disc?
    After you have loaded the repair disc, shut down the computer. Then power it up and press F12 to reach the boot-priority menu. Select the optical drive there.
       What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
    If you can't boot from the repair disc, there's something wrong with the hardware, the BIOS, or the disc.

  • L755-S5244 - W7 system repair disc could not be created... unable to parse... XML data. (0x800705B9)

    After creating a backup image of my W7 Toshiba laptop OK, the last step was the option to create a system repair disc. However that returned the following error:
    System repair disc could not be created
    Windows was unable to parse the requested XML data.
    (0x800705B9)
    Note this is *not* the same as "system recovery discs"! I already have a set of those discs which work OK.. What I need is a system repair disc which allows booting into special recovery mode to repair W7, to restore a backup image, etc.
    Note that my computer is working fine. I just need to be able to make a system repair disc in case there are future problems. There always are, eventually.
    In googling this problem, there are many reports of this error but no clear solution. Some of the reported fixes refer to microsoft help/support/social/technet links which no longer exist. I tried one of those suggestions, SFC /SCANNOW, which didn't find any system file errors on my computer. So that's not the cause.
    It may have something to do with the OEM W7 version which Toshiba puts on its laptops such as my L755-S5244(?). It's possible that Toshiba has intentionally or accidentally disabled the normal commands to make a system repair disc in W7. Does anybody know for sure?
    Thanks.

    I did a fair amount of goggling and reading, then... I tried 3 different downloadable boot disks from maximumpcguides.com, spirebyte, and mydigitallife.info. They all work exactly the same. When booting from one of those discs, there are 5 options offered. I had to make text notes (below) because there's no way to make screen images in repair mode.
    1) Startup Repair - apparently works OK, at least it went through the process and found no errors. That's as it should be, because this computer is working fine! My only objective here is to find out what can be done someday when it malfunctions, as all computers do eventually..
    2) System Restore - doesn't work
    big red X: "To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart this computer, select an operating system, and then select System Restore." That makes no sense because I only have one Windows installation! This is an important option. Is there any way to access it when Windows 7 won't start normally?
    3) System Image Recovery - It found the image file I had created previously. But I didn't want to risk it on a properly functioning computer (no reason). So I don't know if it will actually work right... someday when I really need it.
    4) Windows Memory Diagnostic - doesn't work
    "Windows cannot check for memory problems. An error is preventing Windows from checking for memory problems during startup. To run the Windows Memory Diagnostic manually, boot the computer from  the Windows installation disc, and then select Windows Memory Diagnostic from the Windows Boot Manager menu." However there is no such thing as a Windows installation disc on Toshiba OEM W7. Or is there? Also, I can get to Windows Boot Manager by pressing f8 during startup then select Repair Your Computer, but it won't do anything. Again, it requests the Windows installation disc, which I don't have. Then at the end of all the verbiage... "... Status 0xc000000e; Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible." It would be nice to run a good memory diagnostic because I just  upgraded from 4G to 8G RAM. Suggestions?
    5) Command Prompt - apparently works OK, at least it listed the directory when I entered "dir".
    I feel that chances would be better if I could somehow get this W7 Toshiba laptop to make its own system repair disc, which goes full circle back to my original query... Can it be fixed to avoid the parse XML data error?

  • EliteBook 8570w System Repair Disc Windows 7

    Hi all,
    I wanted to make a System Repair Disc of Windows on my Elitebook 8570w. This was fairly easy as Hp has a programme called Hp Recovery Disc Creator which does this for you. It gives you one opportunity to burn a Windows Disc and a Driver Disc. What HP calls the Windows Disc is the System Repair Disc.
    Now, my problem is that the Windows Disc does not function properly (no idea why). When booting from the DVD the screen keeps stuck at Windows is loading files... Also when I try to run the setup file from the DVD I get error messages that say "F:\Sources\autorun.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." and after that "The file 'autorun.dll' could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]" Because I only got one shot at making the disc I can't simply make another DVD.
    Then, I tried to let Windows make the System Repair Disc by itself (using Create a System Repair Disc). However, I get another error message: "The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057). Some people suggest that HP Recovery Disc Creator has "hijacked" Window's "Create a System Repair Disc" function and that's what is causing the problem. So HP does not give me a second try and it prevents Windows from giving me a second try as well! So, maybe deleting HP Recovery Disc Creator would work. However, it does not list in Programmes and Features and I can't find an uninstall file in its directory.
    When trying to find a solution I came across a guide to create a bootable Windows 7 Installation USB drive (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/2432-usb-windows-7-installation-key-drive-create.html). It involves copying the files from the installation disc to the USB. Step 21 details the files that are on this installation disc. They are the same as on my System Repair Disc.
    So would downloading an image of the installation disc be the same as downloading an image of the System Repair Disc? (I'm downloading a file atm but not sure if it makes sence) If not, are there any other options to create a new System Repair Disc? Maybe by somehow uninstalling HP Recovery Disc Creator or by tricking it into thinking I have not yet tried to make a Windows Disc? Or can I download an image of the System Repair disc somewhere online (most links I have found are dead)?
     Please let me know if any additional information is needed! Thanks in advance!
    Michael
    TLDR: burned a system repair disc, disc is not working properly, HP and Windows won't let me try to burn again. Other options?
    This question was solved.

    Hi:
    You can probably make an ISO file of the version of W7 Pro that you need from the link below.
    Use one of the SP1 Media Refresh files.
    http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
    Use the W7 Pro product key from the bottom of the notebook to activate the installation.
    Use this tool to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive or DVD.  The tool will also make the file bootable.
    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
    Your other option would be to order a set of W7 recovery disks for your PC, by contacting HP for the country you live in at the link below.

  • How to boot from a repairing disk error? Windows 8.1

    Hello, 
    I installed the iCloud yesterday for my iPhone 5s, and then a box popped up saying to restart and so I clicked OK as you do as i needed
    to restart my PC anyway. So it restarted and went into Automatic Repair and now every time i start my computer it goes into this and then goes to a black screen, i need my computer for school and exams so need this sorted pretty quickly. i have read that it
    is a common problem, but i can't seem to get F8 up the only think i can do is go into my motherboard settings and from there i can boot it form my SSD where the boot file is but this just tries to load it and goes to Automatic Repair. i can't get Microsoft
    to help me as i need product identification number which can only be found when you have booted up the computer. Idiots !!!! Please can some one find me a step-by-step guide as I need this sorted quickly as i am in the middle of my exams. Thank you. Zach.

    Hi,
    Apologize for the late reply.
    Do we have a Windows repair disk available? If yes, we may consider to take a system restore from there. We could contact the manufacturer to get a repair disk.
    a) After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
    b) Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
    c) Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
    d) Select Troubleshoot from Choose an option screen.
    e) Click Advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.
    f) Select System Restore.
    ======
    Or take a try to do a selective boot up with bios:
    get cmd to open and check
    bootrec /fixMBR
    bootrec /Fixboot
    bootrec /rebuildBCD
    and also
    chkdsk /r c:
    chkdsk /r d:
    chkdsk /r e:
    chkdsk /r f:
    Hope this may help

  • How to use the 5 recovery discs made when new???

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5046.  I purchased this laptop new in a factory sealed box, a little over a year ago.
    When I opened it, I made the suggested recovery discs using 5 DVD+RW 4.7GB discs.
    Well, now after having issues with installing a windows update and a bluetooth adapter, the laptop just doen't work the same. I get script errors on web pages and have been spending way too much time repairing issues like invalid "not genuine Windows 7" messages.
    So, I attempted a recovery using the discs made when new, and the computer tells me the recovery disc is not valid.  What the heck?  I did exactly what the computer suggested on new startup. The discs are not damaged and have been stored in a safe place.
    Can anyone walk me through using these discs? If I order the recovery discs from Toshiba, will this restore to original condition?
    Thanks for the help.
    Solved!

    I just made a "System Repair Disk" going through Control panel, Backup and Restore on my L775D and it is identical to the Disk 5 made when I got the machine using the Create Recovery Media process.

  • How PI uses technical system information in SLD

    Hi Experts,
    I know there are business system and technical system registered and associated in SLD.
    Especially for those SAP systems, in our normal PI scenario, how PI uses the technical information which was registered under Technical System in SLD since we need again configure the host/port and credentials details in the sender/receiver channel in ID.
    Or SLD is just one central place for collecting all the technical information together only for life cycle management?
    There is nothing more to do with the Tech System (SLD), PI only needs the business system in scenario.
    Please knidly share your opnion, thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Hi Aditya,
    Let me provide an example to describe the need fot technical systems.
    Think of an outbound scenario : SAP ECC/CRM -> PI -> Third Party (ex: SOAP)
    Now just think how PI will identify what the sender is (ECC/CRM or 3rd party) if the TS is not registered in SLD? The Business Systems are logical systems whcih points to Technical Systems (application systems that are installed in system landscape). TS hold the information about the actual systems, its host, IP, clients etc.
    Now based on the source BS which points to TS, the target binding is done in Receiver Determination pipeline step. Now if there is no TS attached to the BS how can PI identify whether ECC or CRM is sending the data and hence will not be able to identify the relevant target for the source.
    Think of Business Systems as sitting on top of Technical Systems, and when the landsape details are not known for third party systems we use Business Component/Business Service.
    Cheers,
    Souvik

  • Hard drive drivers for use with system repair disk

    I've been through the mill with my Satellite A665 S6085...it started its life with a bad CD/DVD drive in the really dark customer service days and spent more of the first two months of life in the shop waiting for the arrival of a new drive than it did in my hands.  Then the CD/DVD failed just at the end of the warranty period (and Toshiba replaced it a second time very quickly, and without charge!)
    Since then it has been working reasonably well, but within the last few weeks it has gotten really sluggish (it was taking about 20 minutes to completely power up), and last week refused to start at all (repeated start-up failures).  I created a system repair disk from another laptop we have, managed to get it to start up - but accompanied by an even more dramatic slow down.
    I  was unable to create an image of the system, but I did manage in safe mode to copy all but about 20 unimportant files (whew!.), and was working on doing what I could to get it spiffied up enough to create a system image.  Unfortunately, in the middle of running the disk checking routine it hung.  It ran for about 20 hours and got to stage 4 (16% done the 23rd file) and stopped all activity.  (Prior to that time the drive light had been flashing on and off periodically - but when I had watched it with no activity for over an hour I did a hard power down . . . I know, bad idea, but it really did seem to be at a complete standstill). 
    It started once in safe mode then froze, and has not started since then. 
    When I boot from the system repair disk, the operating system doesn't come up - and the instructions are to load the hard drive drivers and try again.  So the immediate question is where the heck do I find the drivers since I can't power up to determine the hard drive manufacturer (and the drivers available through the driver download portion of the Toshiba site don't seem to do the trick)?
    But I'd also welcome any hints as to how to get far enough along to at least get a system image before I give up and let the professionals handle things...

    Hi ! You should have created a system image a long time ago I'm tired of this thread. You seem to know all about this so why even ask for help here on the forum Good luck friend. I hope you solve your problem. I don't think I can help you an further

  • How to use an old backup file to restore iPhone 4s?

    Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help that I may recieve.
    I synced and backed my iPhone 4s via iTunes and then accidently restored it.  I tried using the most recent backup to get everything back how it was right before the accidental restore, but it was not found under itunes.  However, I was able to locate that backup in my files (library>application support>mobile sync>backups) but have no idea how to use that backup as the source to the restore.  On itunes (under preferences>devices) I see some backups that were from a couple months back, which are someone useless considering I want the backup right before I accidently restored my phone.  Is there any way to obtain the backup from my file onto iTunes so that I can use the file for the restore??
    Thanks once again!!

    Hi, I have seen that post before however, the iPhone I have didn't have a Sim card. It used a cdma/gap number I guess? It's the Verizon/Sprint version.

    The VoIP seems not MS product and can you clarify it? Basically, if it is third party product, you will need to ask for the API writer for details. For example, find a forum here:
