Usually you need a compatible and supported external drive which should be recognized by BIOS.
PS: On the recovery CD you will find only the image files and not a completely OS.

Portege M200 recovery boot problems
I have an m200 and a Toshiba external DVD drive, but not the expensive DVD drive. I need to boot to the recovery disc and recover my laptop.
I can't find an image to use with an SD card so I can boot. How else can I recover the OS??
Message Edited by johnuser on 03-22-2009 12:21 PMSatellite M200-ST2001...I used this since no full info provided for a guide.
The external USB drive cannot be used to do a boot process as the BIOS will not recognize. -
Portege M200 - WLan disappears and cannot be connected again
Hey guys,
I have a toshiba portege M200 notebook with Windows XP Professional and Service Pack 2.
If I activate the WLAN adapter the WLAN network is shown once and I can connect me and use it problem-free.
If I deactivate and activate the WLAN adapter or it pass some time the WLAN network isn't shown. A reboot doesn't help.
Can somebody say what the problem is?Hi
How did you deactivate the WLan adapter?
Did you use the switch at the notebooks side?
Usually the WLan should be enabled using the FN+F8 option
So if you your WLan will not work then you should use that the FN +F8 key combination in order to enable the WLan again.
Furthermore you should check if you are using the latest WLan driver...

HT4718 FileVault 2, the Recovery System, and the use of Disk Utility
I have FileVault 2 turned on for my Lion-equipped Powerbook Pro. When booting from the Recovery System, however, the Disk Utility thereon cannot even verify the internal HD, much less repair anything. I am aware that this is due to the encryption, of course.
However, for external encrypted drives, all I need to do is enter the password to mount them. So is there something that one can do in order to get the Disk Utility on the Recovery System -- on this very same drive -- to recognize the main volume, in order to enable it to perform diagnostics?
Secondarily, if I put the Powerbook Pro into target mode, and connect it to another Mac (which I have not tried yet) will I be able to mount it from the other computer if (A) It is running Lion OSX or higher, and (B) I can provide one or more of the login passwords?
I am one who has always liked to keep my hard drives running smoothly (e.g using Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, Disk Utility...whatever). So this is a bit foreign to me to be unable to run at least basic diagnostics. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.If you're talking about just the Recovery HD, you only need 1GB so use a 4GB USB thumb drive and the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to create it.
If you're talking about the ML installer (installESD.dmg) use an 8GB USB thumb drive. -

Maximum hard drive on Portege M200
I've recently bought a Portege M200 on ebay and I'm thinking of installing a new 250GB IDE hard drive.
Is there a maximum hard drive size for this model?Hi,
It's hard to say if a 250gb HD will fit in your M200, but I think it's not impossible.
The limits of the (possibly) bios restrictions are not precisely given, but for example in my 3110 ( an oldie with a 6gb HD ) I installed a 40gb HD without any problems. ( despite pessimistic advices ! )
In case of bios-restrictions most HD-manufacturers have special advices and/or software programs to deal with such restrictions
If you have a 250gb HD at your disposal, there is nothing wrong just trying to install it ; in the first installation-screens of XP it will be clear if it' will be accepted at its full capacity or not
EDIT : if there will be a bios-limitation than is it will be most likely at 137gb ; you can use your 250gb by making 2 partitions of 125gb each
let us know if you succeed ! -
I have an HP Touchsmart IQ524 which the hard drive crashed. I replaced the hard drive with the exact same model. I run the Recovery CDs (which I purchased from HP website) and it goes all the way through the process and after the reboot I get a message that "Windows can not install software on this hardware" - so it never completes the process. I have formatted the hard drive and bought and returned 3 hard drives. Any suggestions and assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Hi:
I love recovery disks when they work, and HATE them when they don't.
Fortunately, I have a workaround for you which isn't as good as a recovery disk, but it is better than pulling your hair out, and getting nowhere.
First of all, before you try this, did you perform the recovery with only the keyboard and mouse connected?
Did you buy the same size or larger hard drive?
If your answer to either question is no, then that may be the problem.
Now to the workaround...
If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
I selected No, make the ISO file.
It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

The Toshiba Recovery Media Creator can not be launched."
That´s the final part of the message I receive when I try to make the system image.
As you can see (image below), this recovery partition exists, I haven´t deleted nor modified it in any way, and besides it´s in good state. I don´t understand why I get this error message. What can I do to get this recovery partition recognized by the application. I really need to make a system image.
Please, if somebody has any idea of how to fix this thing, I´d really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advanced.
Will
Solved!
Go to Solution.Will, I'm afraid you'll need to order recovery discs and restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using them.
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
BTW, the 1.46 GB partition you're looking at is not the recovery partition. It contains the Windows Recovery Environment.

Basic problem with connecting to disk via Airport Extreme - No Disks Found
I've a Lacie BigDisk (500GB) which connects fine via USB or firewire directly to my Macs (HFS). When I plug it into the AirPort Extreme, the Airport Utility shows the disk as connected, and I've ticked File Sharing, with "Secure Shared Disks" set to "With base station password".
The AirPort Disk Utility is set to Automatically Discover AirPort disks and to Show AirPort Disks in the menu bar. It sees the Airport Extreme, and the action is set to "Connect with Password".
When I close the AirPort Disk Utility I can see the disk icon in the top menu bar, and clicking on this provides a menu with (greyed out) "No Disks Found", and the option to "Open Airport Disk Utility..."
Any ideas - it's driving me mad!
Thanks
AndrewI am having the same problem with a Lacie 320 GB HD as well with my AEBS. I can't get it to stay recognized in Leopard. I have gotten it to work but only for 10 minutes then I have to unplug and start over. I know that it works fine in Tiger but I am having troubles with my drive "disappearing" with Leopard. From what I can tell others have had this problem but I am not finding a solution. Some have said going back to 7.1.1 works however my AEBS is 2 months old and the oldest firmware it has in the airport utility is 7.2. I have also found old versions on the apple website most look for an intel chipset which I do not have I am running a powerbook G4, also my friend on a new MacbookPro couldn't get them to work at all. Air disk is an amazing concept when am I going to be able to use it?

Disk utility intermittently reports corrupt disk
As a matter of routine maintenance I like to "Verify Disk" in disk utility from time to time.
The issue I am having is that disc utility intermittently identifies that the Server drive is corrupt and needs to be repaired. Here is a typical sequence:
1) Run verify disk and it reports a corrupt disk.
2) Boot up off a different disk and re-run verify / repair disk on the problematic disk and it reports that the disk is fine.
3) Boot up on the original (problematic) disk and re-run verify disk and it reports the disk as fine.
4) Checking again the next day the original problem resurfaces - disk is corrupt.
The server appears to be running fine, but I am loathe to have an issue like this potentially simmering in the background. I am also averse to upgrades until this issue is resolved. Any pointers on getting this resolved would be much appreciated.
Coincidentally, I have run disk warrior and it reports no issues.Here is the typical disk utility log when reporting the error:
