My Recovery discs will not work in my 5005-S504
Good afternoon everyone. I have a toshiba 5005-s504. I got a virus, and decided to use my recovery discs to reload. It started to relaod, and took approximately a half hour. When I tried to reboot, the entire drive was gone. Nothing at all. So I decided to put the recovery discs in again. It starts, and about 1minute in, I'm getting a ghost message reading "Error accessing file. Please check media and retry." I hit enter, and another error comes up "Error 11000. Invalid dump. If this problem persists please contact Toshiba support..."
Any suggestions..... PLEASE!
you can contact your phone carrier and see if they have the building antennas. you can setup this in your office etc and it grabs the signal. but i know they are not cheap but don't know any pricing. contact your carrier.

I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work. It won't show up when plugged into the computer. Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger. I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates. -

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone. -
(Resolved) Windows 8 - Recovery Discs Do Not Work With New Hard Drive
Update:
I decided to buy drive cloaning software. I cloned my drive, that resolved the problem of installing the OS on the new drive. Too bad neither HP's Restore disc's or this support fourm could help with this issue.
Origional Post:
Product Name: HP Pavilion G4-2235DX
Product Number: C3Q50UAR#ABA
BIOS: Insyde F.26, 2/21/2013
Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics, 2700 Mhz, 2 Core(s)
BIOS Mode: UEFI
SMBIOS Version: 2.7
RAM: 12GB
Operating System: Windows 8 - 64bit (6.2.9200 Build 9200)
Situation: I purchased this computer new as a refurbished model from a retail store. I created system restore discs after initial setup using the HP Recovery Media Creation Utility. This system has a 500 GB hard drive. I purchased a Western Digital 1 TB hard drive to upgrade the drive in this notebook. After swaping out the drives and trying to load the recovery onto the new 1TB hard drive in the same computer, an HP dialogue so states "This PC is not supported by the System Recovery Discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs." It gives a code (doesn't call it an error code) 0110-C3150UQ43#ABA underneath and only option is okay, the system reboots and follows the same pattern again and again.
I have upgraded drives in the past on Vista and 7 the same way using self created HP recovery discs with no issue, I do know what i'm doing. I've seen discussion mentioning BIOS issues and other such problems. I did try updating the BIOS to the one on the HP Support page (2013-03-01 , Version:F.26, 7.76M) and the recovery discs still will not work. I found the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility thread, however this solution/software has no support for Windows 8. I have tried to run the utility and it fails, tried with compatiabity and it failed. Why is this happening and what can be done to resolve this problem?
I tried using chat support but it won't let me get through to anyone, claiming my warranty is expired. I just bought this computer 3 days ago and was assured a 90 day warranty.
Please help, Thanks.Hey Joe907,
Thanks so much for posting your experience and using the Forum. I came across this thread in my research for another thread. The information you provided helped me confirm my suspicions.

Also, I wanted to apologize for the customer service issues you had. I hope that everything is working well with the computer now. Of course, if it's not, let me know. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.
Information on the warranty:
Refurbished computers are often erroneously marked as out of warranty, but it is simple to fix, and a phone representative could have corrected that for you. All computers' warranty start dates begin on the day they leave the factory. HP knows that there will be a period where the computer will sit on a shelf (for days or months) at the retailer. With refurbished computers, their 90-day warranties begin on the day they are refurbished. HP has no way of knowing what date the customer will buy the computer so the warranty start date stays the same until the customer registers the computer providing the date of purchase for the warranty system to be updated. If the registration process fails for some reason (rare, but it happens), phone technical support has a process they can initiate to have the warranty corrected. They only need a copy of the receipt showing the date of purchase.
I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for you post! -
Command and Conquer 3 game disc will not work
Hi
I Just brought this brand new. It got shipped to me yesterday and when I put the disk in my mac, it just spins around and then ejects. I put in dvds and cd's and the worked fine. But this will not work.
Can any one help? or is it a busted Game disc?well, i'm glad that i'm not the only one with this problem. i got it for christmas, so of course i tried opening it and playing immediately. this didn't work though. just for kicks, i had my friend try it on his macbook pro. exact same model. his, however, worked. and i KNOW for a fact that he didn't have the patches. i downloaded both 1.08 and 1.09, but neither of those appear to have helped too much. i'm going to bed in the hopes that perhaps tomorrow morning it will magically work.
if anyone finds a solution overnight, i would really appreciate it -
Recovery discs do not work with new hard drive
Hi I have come here desperately seeking help as I am not too knowledgeable with the workings of computers and I have spent an incredible amount of time just trying to get my laptop to some level of functionality. I purchased a HP Envy and it had a corrupt hard drive which would not work from day one, laptop was new. After a year of constant pressure on HP they finally decided to replace it and let me choose any laptop so I went with the Beats Envy 14 as it was the best one offered from the selection. Low and behold the thing would not work properly from day one, again my brother who is much more of an expert said that there was definitely a hard drive issue so for the past 3 years I have put up with a computer that constantly crashes with BSOD, where I have lost data on numerous occasions (only so often I can back up), that I have had to constantly reset the thing using HP recovery discs, and that generally cannot cope when performing multiple tasks. HP are most certainly shocking builds from my experience. Then just last week the hard drive just craps itself and the laptop no longer will boot up. I took it to a guy to get it at leYst working again so he has installed a new hard drive but with an old version of Windows 7. I want to go back to the Windows version I was akin to on the HP recovery disk , and essentially have it all set up as before except for now having a workable hard drive however I get the message: "This computer is not supported by the System Recovery Discs.You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs.Error: 0100 - 3385 - 3078" I also tried out of interest to load my old Windows 7 disc I had and XP but had no success. Tried booting from startup etc and various things suggested on help forums. Please tell me I am not stuck with this version of windows. Whilst the discs included Windows 7 it was a totally different version, this home premium one is terrible. Any help/advice would be gratefully received. Thanks
no they were both 500gb. I read about that already, I heard about creating a partition for recovery etc but this is all a bit above me , as I said I am not very technical when it comes to the working of a computer. These discs worked perfectly before but now with the new hard drive will not load at all. I essentially hate the Windows Home Premium verions the guy who fixed it put on, whilst the discs had Windows 7 on them the icons were way smaller, the desktop neater, the buttons different, everything was a lot more modern and I was used to it. This version looks like something from the 90s, have to constantly adjust size of Mozilla when browsing as it is huge. I have my own version of Windows 7 on another disc but the hard drive will not let it load either........considering waiting for Windows 10 but again unsure if this new hard drive will even let that update Thanks

Satellite C870-121 recovery discs is not working?
Hi...
I have a weird problem, I bought the computer 6 months ago and have been happy with it, but I got somekind of virus and all the OS was ****ed up big time, so yesterday I would da a factory install with the recovery discs I created when I purchased the computer.
I have the Toshiba System Disc and 4 recovery dvds, I insert the sytem disc and all looks like it should, it loads and then it ask for Disc One of the recovery discs, I insert Disc 1 and after 10 sec. it ejects it again and ask for Disc One again.
I have verified the 5 discs on my other computer and there is data on them and they look okay, I have tried inserting all of the discs to see if I switched them when I printed on them, nothing is working, it will simply not reconize disc one and I am stuck? Any help from anyone?
I am pretty sure its not the hardware that are bad, because I had an old XP windows disc, and after I tried all, I tried to install this on the computer and everything was fine, but I would like to have windows 7 as the computer came with....
Regards Allan ThomsenHi all :) Thanks for the answer, but I figured it out after spending 2 hours reading on forums and boards...
I found other people with the same problem, and some clever people had found that if the HD is in different partitions than they were on purchase they could not use the recovery discs (not only Toshiba issue, but many different brands)...
*I thought I would give this a try and deleted all partitions on the HD, so it became completly empty, then I inserted the Repair disc again and then Disc One when it asked for it, and ALL went fine, I have my Windows 7 back now* :)
Anyways I am not a wizard and have zero knowledge about Windows 7 and recovery discs, but this method worked for me 100 procent, so would share this with you all, in case someone else have the same problem...

Recovery disc does not work for Satellite A100-197
I am working on a A100-197 that would not boot into ordinary Windows but was able to boot into Safe mode.
I used MSConfig to turn off everything at startup and all non-MS services. No good.
I used system restore. No good.
I scanned for viruses, rootkits etc. None found. No good.
I copied data to another hard drive using safe mode with networking and inserted the recovery DVD.
Went through unpacking and got message telling me to remove DVD - did this and system appeared to freeze.
Hit the exit button and it rebooted but Windows froze (the moving blobs stopped moving). Tried safe mode
but got a message saying that the system installation did not finish.
Tried the recovery again but this time I left the unpacking screen at 100% overnight to see if
it did anything. It didn't. Clicked exit and got the same as above.
Formatted HDD in partition magic and tried again. No good.
Created 5GB FAT32 partition and copied DVD files to FAT32 partition. Tried to run the unpacking program
from DOS. It refused to run in DOS mode.
I'm thinking of linking the hdd to another machine and running RecoUnpack.exe from a working PC to
unpack the image files onto the laptop HDD, but this is crazy - the recovery disc is supposed to recover the
system. What else can I try?Thanks Dennis. I was starting to think similar things myself.
There was a program installed called Daemon Tools which uses
SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD) layer. My analysis suggested this was the rogue
program but I followed all the uninstall procedures and couldn't seem to solve the problem.
I don't suppose (and I've never had anything like this before) that it could have fouled up
something in the hardware layer? I tried resetting the BIOS to default settings. Maybe I should
flash the BIOS? Could it have altered any other ROM on the laptop? Is there other ROM on
the laptop?
I hate software that ruins computers! Why can't people just use their b***** machines for sensible
things? -
Windows 8 recovery disc #2 not working
Last week I ordered (and paid for) a set of Windows 8 Recovery Kit discs from hp.com. My HDD died and I couldn't get the recovery partition to load, so I purchased a new identical HDD and received the recovery discs before this past weekend.
I started the recovery process and everything was fine until it reached 60% complete while copying files to the new HDD, and got a pop up message that copying the file BASE23.SWM had failed. I retried it (as it doesn't give you any other option) and after 15-20 minutes the error is reported again. I can hear the DVD drive spinning up and winding down during this time, so it sounds like the disc is damaged and it can't read part of the file. Meanwhile, I clean the disc (even though it looks brand new) and try again, still no joy.
So I take the disc and put it in my work laptop. With an external patch cable I attached the new HDD to my work laptop, and manually tried to copy the BASE23.SWM file to the HDD. The operation eventually goes into an infinite loop trying to copy the file. The same happens when I try to t copy the file to my work HDD (so I know it's not an issue with the new HDD). Also, other SWM files can be copied from the same disc, so it looks like the BASE23.SWM file is corrupt on this disc.
What's my next step? Is there a way to pull the BASE23.SWM file from the DVD or can I assume that file is corrupted?I would phone HP Support to inform them of the error and request a replacement set of Recovery Discs.

Satellite L40 - recovery disc will not BOOD from CD/DVD drive
Hi guys!!
I am trying to use the recovery disc on my friends laptop...but it will not boot up at all from the CD/DVD drive ... I have been trying for two days..... Have checked the BIOS settings
1. CD/DVD drive
2.hdd
3.network.
have pressed the F12 key at start up as the recovery disc instructions suggests....this brings the boot up screen asking where to boot from...I select CD/DVD drive.... the drive makes a few noises and then after around a minute and a half...the Vista log on screen appears as usual. I have also tried starting up and pressing C but the same thing happens, just keeps loading Vista log on screen.
I have seen this is a common problem whilst researching the net but I have not seen a viable suggestion to fix.
Whilst going thru some user setting in Vista Im positive I seen a boot option that could be changed there and Im sure that hdd was selected.... did I dream this??
Im exhausted guys ...any suggestions pleaaaase xTurns out the disc wasnt in 100% ..looked fine ..but when i pushed round all of the disc ..it made a tiny snap noise..and that was what the problem was...have also discovered...its an equium machine not a satellite.. system is in great shape now :-)

Factory recovery dvds will not work. hp g62t vu636av
windows 7 home premium 64bit
it's been so long i dont remember how/when this started. it was either a windows update or a hp total care update, after the update my computer would load the hp logo bios screen then would either say boot mgr missing or no bootable device. i got out my factory recovery dvds and ran them. it would read the disksload the files but when writing them onto the hdd it would stop at 12% i tried it a number of times with the same result. then i found a win7 disk of the same release, loaded a fresh copy of win 7 and it worked great. then my computer did a few updates and the exact same thing happened, no bootable device, etc. called hp customer care. they decided i needed new recovery media. did not work. same 12% result. hp decided it was a hdd issue. they sent me a new hard drive, and new recovery media. same 12% result with new hard drive and new recovery media. i have no idea what to do now. help.If all has been replaced except the system board then it is time to contact warranty services again.
