Product recovery - corrupted file

Hello,
I have a very old Toshiba Satelite which i wanted to give to my little brother. Before that i wanted to preinstall it after i had used it for several years.
I have the product recovery disk and i did the procedure with the recovery. After that though windows does not want to load giving me the above error. I thought this disk was supposed to pre-install the whole windows to its original version. The laptop was never preinstalled.
Can i save it?
I know it is an old machine and so on but it will be useful to my brother.
So, can i fix that or my old poor laptop is dead? And also - i have only this disk - Product recovery. Am i missing the disk with the OS or it was supposed to be on the recovery disk?
Thank you!

It is suppose to be on the Recovery media . Its already corrupted . you can order a new set of recovery media or you can re-install the operating system by downloading an ISO .
(Everyone was new at one point)

  • Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

    Hi There
    I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
    Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
    and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
    Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
    waiting for ODD to become available...
    ODD Drive F: ready.
    check for medium in drive F:...
    Failed to initialise the raid class.
    No RAID - continue normally...
    X:\windows\system32>
    Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
    WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
    CAUSE
    FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
    STATUS: 0XC000000E
    INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
    IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
    Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
    The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
    please help, I haven't a clue.
    thanks

    Hi
    It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
    Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
    If not you should definitely try this!
    You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.

  • Java 1.4.2_03 Windows: The configuration data for this product is corrupt.

    Trying to install j2SE 1.4.2_03 JRE on a Windows system (exact version needed for a bussiness application) after all previous Java installations have been deleted and all Windows Registry Java related keys have been manually deleted with Regedit.exe.
    The EXE installer works properly in other machines but in this one it stops after a few seconds with the following message:
    "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel".
    The problem is related to the Windows install mechanism rather than the Java installer itself and likely caused by the manual Registry deletion.
    The error code is 1610: ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION.
    Reinstalling Windows didn't fix the problem.
    Unable to recover the system to a previous state with the System Recovery Tool (Accesories/System Tools).
    Other versions of Java installers fail the same way and show the same message.
    I don't know how to contact "my support personnel" nor who they are.
    I'd appreciate any help about this problem or what Java installers need within the Registry to work or a clue of any kind.

    Sorry for the duplicated message. It's my first post and I messed up a little with the right section.
    A new downloaded copy of the file or other versions of Java failed to install with the same error message.
    I've learned there is a product ID in the registry that must be present for the installer to run. I'm searching for this "mysterious" product ID and how to set the right Windows XP Registry entry for the JSE 1.4.2_03 version.
    I'm still not sure this will fix the problem.
    Thanks for replying.

  • Product Recovery doesn't work

    I seem to have been having crashes on my computer so I decided to use the product recovery CDs. Every time I try to restore it, it crashes part way through writing the Ghost image to the hard disk. Could all this be due to a virus/bug on the hard drive and therefore needs formatting? If so, with a USB how do I get it to boot from USB to format the hard drive? Or is there another explanation?

    When I've needed to reload my a50, I do it this way:
    Back up anything that I want to keep.
    Boot from the recovery DVD, then press 9 to quit to a DOS prompt
    Type fdisk, then answer yes to both the questions it asks you. Select to delete all primary partitions. Exit fdisk.
    Reboot from the recovery DVD again. Press one to reload the factory image.
    This has worked every time for me apart from once when it wouldn't boot afterwards due to a file becoming corrupted during the restore. I restored again and it worked with no errors.

  • InDesign - need a "Fix my Corrupted File" Upload Service

    There are frequently posts on the forum for people who have corrupted INDD files. This means lost work and frustrated InDesign users.
    The Indesign team should offer a "Fix my File" upload link to its customers.
    For each corrupted file, you will help a customer, and in the process, hopefully improve the overall stability of the product (which has issues) and benefit everyone...
    Adobe: If you are afraid that you will be swamped with requests to "Fix my File", then you should probably just get out of the SW business now...

    Zak Williamson wrote: "If the documents are fundamentally corrupt in some way, theres no way to repair them." and then later "As I mentioned to Casey, it's rarely possible to repair a truly corrupt document"
    I definitely don't want this to sound like a flame or a whine, but I find that statement quite flabbergasting. Somebody at Adobe must understand the format of an InDesign file well enough to be able to edit out the specific element that is causing InDesign to complain about the document. I do file repair for another company (www.qsatoolworks.com) whose file format is probably more complex than an InDesign file. In over 10 years I've only had 1 or 2 files I could not repair at least to the point of recovering the textual data.
    What led me to this forum is that a customer contacted me to help them recover an InDesign file. They just migrated from a PowerMac G4 with CS2 to a Mac Pro with CS3 and a few of their files won't open. ("ID may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application.")
    We have tried them on another Mac with CS2, and they won't open there either. "Something" must have gone wrong when the files were transferred to the new Mac.
    (Naturally, the old hard drive has already been reformatted.)
    Knowing what I do about file formats (but understanding that my knowledge is nearly worthless in an InDesign file) I have to assume an InDesign file contains an object map with pointers to the various objects in the document. The idea of telling the customer "your 32 page booklet is lost" when the problem could simply be a screwed up pointer is horrifying to me.
    Here at QSA ToolWorks we charge $120/hour for recovery service, success or failure. We've saved lots of people from their own recklessness, and created a passionate user base in the process. We've made our product more reliable (and fixed some bugs) based on the knowledge gained through file repair; Adobe could do the same, but if they don't want to provide such a service, perhaps they should consider training third parties to do it.
    I'd like to address one other comment above. Harbs wrote "I've been lead to believe that Adobe has utilities (which they use internally) to analyze and possibly fix corrupted files." Of course, I don't know whether Adobe has such utilities, but I suspect they don't. Because I can do Helix database repairs, people likewise assume I have "special utilities" that can fix corrupted files. (We've even been accused of keeping them secret so we can use file repair as a source of revenue!) I don't. What I do have is a deep understanding of the file format. Beyond that, a file editor and a couple of AppleScripts I wrote to display the object fields in a human-readable format are all the 'special' tools I have. If Adobe has any sort of tools for analyzing files, I suspect they are much the same. In other words, without extensive internal knowledge, they are worthless.

  • Replacement Product Recovery CD Needed (A60)!

    I am sorry to bother you all but I am in need of assistance. My Product recovery CD for my Toshiba Equium A60 has gone missing and my laptop will not start. Can anyone here point me to a solution as all my e-mails to Toshiba Europe have been undelivered. The problem with my laptop is that the computer crashed while installing a new windows XP patch and some of the start up files got damaged. Now the computer will not start properly and stats that :
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys
    You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-Rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

    Ok thanks for the feedback so far.
    Lets try Jasmin11's idea first. I have a copy of Windows xp(Home edition) I have inserted this cd into the Laptop but i still get this message.
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
    System32\Drivers\Ntfs.sys
    You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-Rom. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
    When I press any Key the computer restarts and nothing changes. How do I get my computer to install the Windows CD? I have pressed the 'r' key during every part of the start up and all it does is restart my computer. I would like to exaust this option before I have to go and phone Toshiba and wait for a new CD.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Shows me Identifier/Key ID & I have the Recovery Key File with 48 digits

    I also have the password written down on a piece of paper, neither one work. When I right click to unlock the Gold Lock, I type in the password it will not work, then the system shows me "Key IF: FCB##### number, it matchs the key on the digital file.
    Not matter what I try I haven't been able to unlock the 1T HD, it did encrypt the few files I had on the drive, then I was adding more, all was fine until I shut it down and tried to log into it the next day. Since then, nothing. Like I said I did save the
    file "BitLocker Recovery Key File" no good, won't unlock.Can anyone help?
    I even have a copy of it in the cloud

    Hi Encryptionist,
    How did you configure the Bitlocker ?Have you configured a password to unlock the drive?
    To unlock the Bitlocker drive ,we just need to input the password if we have configured it. If there are letters in the password ,please check whether the caps lock has been enabled .
    The recovery key is used when we forgot the password .The identifier ID showed in the inputting dialog should be corresponding with the ID in the recovery key files. Please ensure they are the same.
    If the issue persists, the specific drive may have suffered a corruption. Please use Bitlocker repair tool to recovery the data.
    You can refer to the detailed instruction in the link below:
    Repair-bde.exe Parameter Reference (it also applies to Windows 8.1)

  • What is a "corrupt file" and how do I get rid of it?

    Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and (hopefully) offering a solution! At the end of this past March, I purchased a new ASUS E4109 from Best Buy. It has been working great until 2 days ago when I turned it on. The black screen popped up stating that Windows had failed to run and I needed to install my installation disk (did this come with my laptop?). It gave the options of retrying in normal mode, safe mode, safe mode with networks, etc, etc. When I was finally able to load it in normal mode, it immediately told me I have some sort of corrupt file and need to run "CHKDSK" to repair. Hmmmm for starters, I dont even know what that means. Anyways, the bottom line is that something is wrong with it and I cant seem to figure out how to repair it without making another trip to BestBuy. I would SO greatly appreciate any suggestions to repair, as well as why this happened in the first place. I dont download anything out of the ordinary ( that I know of!) and I cant imagine what could have happened. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me if you can.... it's a huge upset that I have a brand new laptop I cannot even use at the moment. I sincerely appreciate any help, suggestions, advice!! Thankyou, Whitney

    ASUS laptops do come with recovery discs. There should be two of them labeld as such.
    To do a disc check, open My Computer, right click on your C drive and select properties.
    Click on the Tools tab, and then check box "Automatically Fix Errors" and click Start. You'll most likely have to restart your computer for it to finish.
    Corrupted files can be caused by a lot of things, most commonly not shutting your laptop down correctly by just holding the power button. Viruses can also cause them but we'll go with the assumption that's not it for now.
    If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • InDesign CS3 program will not open - Win XP - after trying to open corrupt file.

    Help! the program Adobe InDesign will not open up anymore.
    Here is the story and what I have tried. One week on the 16th my server crashed two of the three hard drives failed (RAID) I had the two replaced. Since then all seamed to be ok but few of files were missing and some that I tried to open would crash InDesign I assume that the files got corrupt from the HD's going bad. Server kept telling me to run CHKDSK utility. I ran it and and some of the files reappeared. Today, thinking that the Chkdsk utility had fixed the bad files I tried to open one of the files that caused InDesign to crash and it crashed again.
    Now I cannot open InDesign at all when I try to launch InDesign within 3-4 seconds Adobe will crash!  Reboot and try again same thing.
    I tried to delete the files in the Recovery folder thinking it was trying to open the corrupted file that it last tried to open. Same thing.
    I moved the preference folder to the desk top thinking that it might have been causing the problem - no change.
    I reinstalled InDesign over top of the existing program (did not uninstall first) rebooted and tried to launch - no change.
    I tried system restore, None of my restore points that I have tried (auto restore points) will restore my system for what ever reason.
    Please Help with any suggestions I need this fixed soon.

    Installing CS3 was a pain, and the installer is very sensitive to conflict with just about everything under the sun, so you need to run it in a bare-bones boot (but not safe mode). I turn off ALL non essential programs and services using MSConfig when doing a CS3 install.
    That said, yes, running the CS3 clean script will probably remove all things Adobe from the system. The Microsoft utility is much more benign than the description makes it sound -- it removes registry information for previous installations so there is no trace of them to confuse the OS. I'm not aware that it has removed anything other than what it was told to remove, but I've only had to use it once, I think.
    You can try a simple uninstall/reinstall first (and you should be able to remove and reinstall just ID from the suite if you use the original disks). That will certainly be faster and less painful than the clean script, but may not work. Seems odd that a serrver crash should have corrupted a local installation, though, so you might want to take a close look at the machine for other problems, perhaps some sort of malware invasion.

  • Error downloading video (corrupted file) need help

    I began to download the new quicksilver snowboarding film "That's it That's All" and when i was about halfway through the download i got an error message pop up saying that the file was corrupted and to choose the "check for available downloads" under the "store" tab to fix it. but after doing this numerous times i still am not able to download the video fully and its stuck about halfway. does anyone know how to fix this?
    (by the way, the error report code is 8008 if anyone cares.)

    Hello
    I repeat my offer.
    Not only because I wish to try to help you but because I wish to be able to understand what is the source of the oddity.
    I'm afraid because I found on these forums some messages about corrupted files.
    As my brain is not so large than Apple's offices, I join together these reports and the description of some encountered oddities of iWork products used under Mac OS X 10.5.
    At this time I don't know which is the wrongdoer but it's clear that the relations between the apps and the OS are not perfectly correct.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks. I now have a corrupt file in Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle - How can I fix this?

    I Upgraded to Mavericks. I was having problems being able to run TimeMachine so nothing has been able to back-up since the upgrade. I have tried using Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the hard drive, and have been unsucsessful due to a damaged file at Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle. CCC takes days to try and find only those files it needs to back-up, so I have had to abort the back-up. I used TimeMachine before the Mavericks upgrade, but with Mavericks, it is not recognizing the old TimeMachine data and can't roll back to the previous software (Snow Leopard?).
    How can I replace the corrupted files? Do I need to get a disc from Apple with the OSX software and then reload the operating system? Do I need to restore the operating system? Do I need to load Mavericks all over again and if so, how?

    Thank you so much for your recommendation. In the end, I was able to restore from a version of TimeMachine that I had on my external hard drive. I first tried to restore to the earliest version of Mavericks and it had all kinds of issues with my computer being slow and unresponsive. Seeing that this was not going to get me any improvements, I did a second restore to the last version of MountainLion that preceeded the upgrade to Mavericks, and voila, my MacMini is back to its peppy operation. My computer is now restored and functional again.
    I am really puzzled why the folks at the Apple Genius Bar could not suggest this. I had taken the computer and back up hard drive to them, but they told me that my problem was data related, and they don't get into data recovery or back-up issues. But that was ultimately what restored my system back to normal. I think they need to be better schooled on the problems that can be solved using TimeMachine. They had my external disk drive and should have seen that it was capable of restoring my computer and suggested that I go home to try that. But instead.
