Recovery CD - Unknown error message

Hi,
I have a Satellite 1800-400 notebook.
I'm trying to use the product recovery discs and disc 1 works fine, but then it asks for disc #3 (same with #1), I put it in the drive, press continue and it says: installing software. So far so good, right? But after a little while, it says:
CDR101: Not ready reading drive Z
!!!!Error!!!!
F3D failed
What is wrong? How can I reinstall my notebook?
Did anybody else have this problem? How do I solve it?
Thanks.
Ineke

Hello Ineke
On this way it is not easy to give you a proper explanation. In your case there can be many different reasons for that (damaged recovery CD or maybe problem with the drive).
Is this first time that you make a recovery procedure? Did you have this kind of problems before?
In my opinion you should try to use other bootable CD to see if there is some problem with the CD drive. If not it is definitely recovery CD problem (maybe some scratch).
Bye

  • Cannot update my iPad2 to 5.1 An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

    Cannot update my jail broken iPad2 & iPhone 4S to 5.1
    An unknown error message cancels the download process. Could you please inform me how to fix this issue? What is also odd is the fact that the update through iTunes is substantially bigger than downloading it directly OTA, although both methods have been unsuccessful so far...
    Thanks!

    About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
    Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time.

  • Unknown Error message appearing when editing Nikon D810 files on Lr 4

    Hi Guys,
    Recently bought a Nikon D810 and whenever I import files and have a play around with them Lightroom will freeze and then come up with the Unknown Error message. Just wondering if anybody else has encountered this and if so, what you have done to rectify it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pete

    Then they must be using Lightroom 5. According to the list of supported cameras, support for the D 810 was added in Lightroom 5.6. I seriously doubt that any of your friends are actually using it in Lightroom 4 Unless they are using software to change the camera model in the exif data.

  • Unknown error message when trying to update or download Apps?

    Hello!  I have had no problems till now, and have been happily downloading and updating for 9 months.  Yesterday I received an unknown error message when I tried to update an App on my IPad 2, and have since been unable to update or download. Have tried closing down and restarting, changing password, and usual things.  Any good ideas? Does this happen often?  Everything is working, I simply can't download from App store.  Thank you for any helpful suggestions.

  • "Unknown Error" Message when saving Illutrator CS3 file

    I get this unknown error message when attempting to save an illustrator file.(CS3). I tried to open and then save several files with the same resulting error message. As a work around, I have reverted to working in CS2 until I can get this resolved.

    Chris -
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • Tour Smartphone 9630 not synching. Getting "unknown error message"

    After 6 months of no problems, I am now unable to sync my Blackberry to my computer. I am getting an "unknown error message" what's going on?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    "Unknown" -- that is what is going on.
    But seriously folks...that error is one of the hardest to diagnose...so here's what I suggest:
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps

    On My Mac Pro Getting an unknown error message when trying to update apps To Perchase Mountain Lion

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
