Satelitte 5205 wrong machine error on recovery

My 5205 s703 came up with wrong machine after an attemp to recover from a system crash. I recall using the DMI update from toshiba to try and sort out the id problem.( this is the id 5205 changing from 5205 to 5200). Hence the recovery disk does not work because the machine thinks its a 5200. The system board has never been change or altered. The DMI software to fix this from toshiba did not work. (USA web site).
I was left with not being able to access my computer data. I contacted the service agent in Cambridge who suggested i get a caddy and plug my hard drive into another computer to retrive all my crucial files before sending the computer away for repair. Thanks for that. Now i have satellite hard drive in a caddy attached to another computer. The question is, Can i now repair the file that prevented the computer from booting while i have acces to the hard drive. The file was windows\system32\system. Is there a copy of the system file any where else on the hard drive. If i can find that then i can fix it. PS i tried to respond to a previous question i posted but could not witout registering a second time.

hi Garry,
Check for a folder called I386 on your hard drive. This should contain a copy of the system installation files and you may be able to copy your damaged system file from there.

  • Can not use recovery DVD 'Wrong machine' error occurs

    My Dealer/Service center replaced the motherboard when I had a start up problem. My recovery DVD which originally comes with the notebook does not work anymore. When I start recovery procedure follow message is shown: 'Wrong machine'.
    Is it possible to download new one from the Toshiba website? If yes from where exactly?
    My product is registered in October 2004.

    Hello
    If you use wrong machine as searching term on this forum you will find many similar treads. When motherboard is changed DMI information must be updated. Without this info identification is not possible.
    I recommend you to contact service again. They will update DMI info and you will be able to use recovery media again.
    Good luck!

  • Error message "wrong machine" on Qosmio G35-AV650

    Hi
    please help me with the "wrong machine" message in my notebook .... how can I update DMI ?
    Thank you !

    Hello,
    There is a solution for this problem.
    With a DMI update utility (generic) you can modify the DMI information on your Qosmio.
    Instructions to modify the DMI information:
    1. Once the DMI Utility image is downloaded, with a blank, formatted diskette in the floppy
    disk drive, create the DMI Utility disk by clicking on the downloaded file and following the
    instructions.
    2. Boot from the DMI Utility disk. Ensure that the disk is write-Enabled.
    3. Press the 2 key to choose the "Write DMI String" option from the DMI Utility menu.
    4. For Manufacturer, type TOSHIBA and press Enter.
    5. For "Product Name", enter the product name as given in the information section of the
    Issue Alert. Make sure the Product Name is entered exactly as written in the Issue Alert
    including spaces / no spaces, caps / lower case, etc. Press Enter to go to the next field.
    6. For the "Version Number", enter the complete part number of the computer (i.e.
    PT831U-102T97) from the product label on the bottom of the computer and press Enter.
    If the computer is a factory-refurbished computer (i.e. PT831U-102T97B), leave off the B
    at the end.
    7. For "Serial Number", enter the serial number from the product label on the bottom of the
    computer and press Enter. Omit the dash and the number after it (i.e. for serial number
    12345678A-1, you would enter 12345678).
    8. For UUID, press Enter to skip this field. Typically the UUID will not need to be entered,
    as it is not cleared when the system boards are repaired. Should this field be blank, enter
    the UUID manually. The UUID is typically located on a label affixed to the system board
    near the mini-PCI slot.
    9. For the OEM Part Number, enter the complete part number of the computer (i.e.
    PT831U-102T97) from the product label on the bottom of the computer and press Enter.
    If the computer is a factory-refurbished computer (i.e. PT831U-102T97B), leave off the B
    at the end.
    10. For the OEM SW Number, press Enter to skip this field.
    11. If the DMI information is correct, press F2 to confirm the changes; otherwise, press F4 to
    ignore the changes and make corrections.
    12. Press F2 to save the changes and write the DMI string to the computers EEPROM.
    13. Eject the DMI Utility disk and restart the computer.
    The computer is now ready to restore the factory pre-installed software using the appropriate
    Toshiba recovery media.
    if you are interested, I can put the DMI update tool image available for download.
    Let me know...
    But please... DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK

  • M35-S359 Wrong Machine Type error message

    Well I will try this again!
    HDD replaced
    Attempted System Restore
    Failure - Error message "Wrong Machine type"
    Restore Disk is Valid. I have used it before to restore the Original Drive.
    Attempted to run Ghost from the Restore Disk. HDD took the Restore but will NOT boot from it.
    I have taken all the proper steps in setting up the Laptop.
    Others POSTed for this Model Laptop have had the same issue
    Im not going to send it in to an ASP.
    I am Toshiba Certified but this one has been a real Pain in the Bottomside.
    Im about ready to do what one of my former Customers did to his Laptop out of frustration.
    He smashed it until nothing was left.
    It seems to me Toshiba want us to sell and support their products but we are not getting the support that we need!

    I, too, am having this error message. I read somewhere that it is either because of the font Helvetica Nueue, or because the files is being shared between a PC and a Mac. The quickest fix I have found, is to take the pdf and open it in Illustrator and convert all the text to curves. Then it should work correctly.
    I don't think anyone has found a definitive answer.
    thanks

  • Wrong Machine message with genuine Toshiba recovery disk

    I have a Sat  Pro L300 EZ1004X and ordered a recovery disk from Toshiba after giving them the model number and serial number. When I boot from the disk I get a "Wrong Machine" message with an exit button that just powers off the machine, there is no exit to DOS. Booting from recovery partition by holding down 0 does not work either, just some colors at the top of the screen. The laptop was refurbished at a genuine Toshiba service center. The recovery disks are labelled L300 series. The machine was running fine until attacked by the Alureon virus and now hangs at the Microsoft screen on boot. I want to wipe the disk and start again. Net research indicated I may need a DMI reset utility, but the one I found at the Toshiba site does not list the L300 models. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Satellite Pro L300-EZ1004X 
    "Wrong Machine" message
    You're right, Chris. If the recovery disc is the correct one, the DMI string in the machine needs fixing. Since the utility for that computer is not posted, you need to contact Toshiba. It's 800-457-7777 or..

  • P105-S9337 Wrong Machine during recovery

    Hello, So I have encountered the ever so common wrong machine message when trying to restore my computer. I understand it has something to do with the DMI in the BIOS or something. I found that Toshiba had a utility to fix this but my model is included in the list of effected computers, but tried to do it anyway. I burned the iso as the instructions say to do using Power ISO and it is indeed a boot cd. I was able to boot from cd but it just comes up and says loading windows 95 in text and then theres a blinking _ a few lines down. It does nothing I left if for an hour. What can I do? I am limited in options being deployed out here in Afghanistan in the middle of nowhere I have nothing but this laptop for another 6 months, any help is greatly appreciated. My System is on bios 4.30, windows vista 32 bit. Thanks! Pat

    Satellite P105-S9337
    You will need to contact Toshiba's tech support to obtain the DMI-string update utility for that model.
    Call them at 800-457-7777.

    what else can i do to Install WinXp on my Portege 2010 ........ and how can i solve the message CD-rom device driver MSCD001 not found

    Hello
    Unfortunately there is nothing to do. The recovery image is created for each notebook model and it can not be used for different notebook models. Can you imagine the situation that you can use every recovery media on every notebook model?
    Every notebook has specific hardware configuration and because of that the recovery medias are specific for particular notebook model.
    By the way: which CD-Rom device you use?

  • Time Machine Error - again again..

    Hi,
    I also get this one...
    Time Machine Error
    Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while
    copying files to the backup volume.
    I haven´t tried with Time Machine Buddy - but here is a few facts, that maybe could help me find a solution.
    My total backup size is approx. 300GB (on USB connected 1TB external disk)
    When i exclude the movie folder in iTunes (113GB) it works fine - when i include it, I get the above error...
    Whats wrong - corrupt file in the movie folder?? How do i locate it?? Foldersize to big???
    Best regards...

    Hello j:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    There is probably a corrupt file in the movie folder. Try TM Buddy. That gives you a log (almost real time) of what is happening when TM does a backup.

  • Crti.o: wrong machine class (really need help)

    Hi all;
    I am trying to build in 64 bit with Forte 6 compiler on Solaris2 8 machine. For the build in 64 bit mode i am using the option -xarch=v9. Also i have set environment variable
    LD_OPTIONS=-D files /tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1/lib/v9/crti.o
    The compiler is located in /tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1
    my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to
    /usr/lib/sparcv9:/usr/ccs/lib/sparcv9
    The error i get is
    debug: file=/tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1/lib/v9/crti.o [ ET_REL ]
    debug:
    debug: file=/tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1/lib/crti.o; rejected: ELF class mismatch: 32-bit/64-bit
    debug:
    ld: fatal: file /tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1/lib/crti.o: wrong machine class
    Why is the linker picking up the 32 bit crti.o?? Is there an option i need to set in the linker to pick up the 64 bit crti.o???
    I have tried to run it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH not set and with the -R option to the following

    Thanks

    I am trying to build in 64 bit with Forte 6 compiler
    on Solaris2 8 machine. For the build in 64 bit mode i
    am using the option -xarch=v9. Also i have set
    environment variable
    LD_OPTIONS=-D file /tools_SunOS/Forte6U1/WS6U1/lib/v9/crti.o Don't do that. Never add compiler options that point into the compiler installation area, into /usr/include, or /usr/lib. The compiler knows where to find its own components, and will pick the correct ones if you don't try to "help" it.
    my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to
    /usr/lib/sparcv9:/usr/ccs/lib/sparcv9Do not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at all.
    I have tried to run it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH not set
    and with the -R option to the following

    rte6U1/WS6U1/lib/v9
    LIB_LOCATION_OPTIONS =-norunpath -R
    $(LIB_LOCATION_PATH)If you want to pick up shared libraries from the compiler installation area, you don't need any options. The compiler by default will build the executable with dependencies on those libraries.
    To link a 64-bit C++ program that uses shared libraries from the compiler installation area, do something like this:
    CC -xarch=v9 -o myprog [ list of files and non-default libraries ]

  • "Time Machine Error   The backup volume is read only"

    Lately, every time I try to backup to my Time Capsule using Time Machine it fails and I get a message saying "Time Machine Error The backup volume is read only. To select a different volume, open system preferences and choose Time Machine" So I do that and I see the Time capsule listed. I don't want to select anything but the Time Capsule, cuz what else do I have, right? Am I wrong in assuming the "backup volume" is the Time Capsule? Anyway, I have tried changing the permissions on the time capsule, but when I get the "get info" box for the time capsule, there is not an option to change those settings, they are grayed out. Every thing worked well for about a week and then this started. My backup volume must have been "Read & Write" at first, because I can see what was backed up when I open Time Machine. Anybody have a clue what's going on? How can I make the back up volume "Read & Write" again and why did it change to "Read Only?"

    Nope, I am using the same passwords as ever, both users have the same password, BTW. The password I gave to the Time Capsule is different, tho, but that password is for the wireless aspect of the Time Capsule, so that wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it?
    I also get a message box that says "Disk Repair The disk "Backup of XXX's Computer" was not repairable by this computer, it is being made available to you with limited functionality. You must back up your data and reformat the disk as soon as possible." This box appears in conjunction with the appearance of the Norton's virus scan box scanning the time capsule.

  • Wrong Machine Class

    We receive the following error when trying to compile on 64 bit Solaris 7 using SunWorkshop 5:
    ld: fatal: file cdemo6.o: wrong machine class
    Has anyone seen this message before and if so were they able to resolve the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I found following technote on related subject.
    Technote suggests the method to diagnose this problem.
    Thanks
    Kalpesh
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    SYNOPSIS: Compilation error message "ld: fatal: wrong machine class"
    OS: Solaris/SunOS
    PLATFORM: Generic
    OS VERSION: 7
    TECH AREA: OS
    PRODUCT: Utilities
    KEYWORDS: ld wrong machine class cc LD_OPTIONS
    DESCRIPTION: What to do when the compiler emits the error message "ld: fatal: wrong
    machine class"
    SOLUTION: This error message can be printed when the user attempts to link binaries
    compiled for different architecture. Here is an example compilation which
    can cause problems.
    An application is built using two C files (foo.c foo1.c).
    cc -c foo1.c
    cc -c foo.c -xarch=v9
    cc -o foo foo.o foo1.old: fatal: file foo.o: wrong machine class
    ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to foo
    A quick check with the "file" command will show the problem:
    file *.ofoo.o: ELF 64-bit MSB relocatable SPARCV9 Version 1
    foo1.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable SPARC Version 1
    Note that foo.o was built as a Sparc V9 binary.
    That was a very simple example. With more complex link phases, the problems
    could be far more obscure. In that case, there is a linker variable
    which may help. The "-D files" flag will print the files which the
    linker is opening. A simple way to set the flag is to set "LD_OPTIONS='-D
    files'" in the environment.
    export LD_OPTIONS="-D files"
    cc -D files -o foo foo.o foo1.odebug: file=/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib/crti.o [ ET_REL ]
    debug: file=/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib/crt1.o [ ET_REL ]
    debug: file=/opt/SUNWspro/SC5.0/lib/values-xa.o [ ET_REL ]
    debug:
    debug: file=foo.o rejected: ELF class mismatch: 32-bit/64-bit
    debug:
    ld: fatal: file foo.o: wrong machine class
    ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to foo
    This output could help track down the miscompiled binary.
