Satellite A200 - Cannot boot from Recovery disk - code 1

I have Vista business and my laptop is currently running slow and is full of rubbish.
I have in the past used my recovery disc to completely re-install vista and start from a fresh version.
However, i have tried this time and it says that it cannot boot from cd - code 1.
Can someone tell me what this is and how to re-install vista?

Hmm... so its definitely not a ODD issue but there is something wrong with the shipped CDs. From my knowledge this error would appear if the CD would NOT be bootable!
Its strange for me that this notebook has been preinstalled with the Vista business.
Usually the notebooks are preinstalled with Vista Home Premium and usually you have to create the own Recovery disk using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba recovery Disk Creator.
Anyway, if you are not able to boot from these disks then you would need other disks.
You could order it from the ASP in your country or from this page:

    Hi buddy,
    > But still think bios is corrupted
    If you think so, then contact your authorized service provider. The technicians can check your notebook and try to reflash the BIOS. The technicians are really experts and so this shouldnt be a problem for them.

  • Thinkpad T430 Cannot Boot from Recovery disk

    Dear Community,
    I recently purchased a Thinkpad T430 with Windows7 Pro edition preinstalled.  I want to replace the installed SSD drive with a larger SSD drive (samsung 840 pro).  I have no files on the laptop yet.  After careful reading of several posts and the Thinkpad manual, I created a recovery medium (boot and data) using the Lenovo installed tools onto a 16GB USB flash drive.  I then removed the lenovo SSD drive and replaced it with the Samsung SSD drive.  I connected the flashdrive to the USB port and attempted to boot from this flash drive.  In the boot menu, both the Samsung drive and the USB drive show up, but if I select the USB drive nothing happens (the boot menu reloads).  After reading more posts, I went into the BIOS menu and tried some suggested changes but nothing seems to work.  
    I am an ordinary user, I am not an IT professional and embarked on this adventure thinking it should be straightforward enough.  
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!

    Hello and welcome,
    Was the flash drive properly prepared before creating the recovery image?
    New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
    Sometimes a non-booting flash drive can be fixed by setting the partition active.   Use the instructions in the above link but don't clean, create, or format - or do anything that might corrupt the data.  Just select and set active.
    If there's something else wrong with the drive prep (wrong format, for example), you may be able to get it working by doing the prep on a 2nd USB drive and copying the contents of the first drive.
    You only get to make the recovery media once so if neither of these work you'll need to call support and request DVDs.  In a case like this where the recovery drive creation has failed they may or may not charge for the media.

  • Satellite A110 does install from recovery disk but HDD not displayed

    Hi guys,
    after searching the net I've finally found a forum in which I hope you can help me.
    I've tried to search this forum for an anwser but couldn't find it.
    I have a toshiba satellite a110 -159 which after a sudden stop didn't boot up.
    chkdsk did discover a lot of problems when I connected the hard drive to another pc, but the laptop still couldn't boot from the disk.
    anyways, I copied the most important data and remounted the disk in the laptop. with the product recovery discs I managed to reinstall windows xp media center installation, but after the first reboot, the laptopt didn't find the hard disk, it is not displayed in the bios.
    strange though that the recovery discs did install... anyone knows how to relist the hard disk in the bios? it was listed there before the reinstall of windows xp mc... :( so it's like it did something with the bios or so.
    hope you guys know what's wrong with this one.
    thnx in advance!
    Edit:
    the disk is accessible when placed in another system or desktop system with convertor, and copies and works just fine.

    I've solved it
    opened the laptop and shortened the battery located on the motherboard (couldn't detach it because it was soldered).
    the short reset the bios and it found the disk again
    very weird though, but it works all fine now.
    hope this helps anyone else if they got the same :)

  • Cannot boot from Recovery CD - Error: PXE-E61: Media test failure

    Recovery CD ( winXP home edtion ) can't boot the Toshiba satellite A40 Model# PSA40E-0EWDE-AR (SA40-261) Whenever I try to Boot From recovery cd I get this Error :
    PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
    but when I boot from any other cd (windows ME, WIN 2K, WIN XP Pro...) everything is ok.
    Any Clue? Help me please
    Thanks
    Mesha

    Hi
    It seems the drive cannot boot up from the CD recovery and switch to the LAN boot.
    The PXE-E61 error message appears because the LAN cable was not connected and the notebook is not able to find a network boot source
    I think you should check the recovery CD and maybe you will need a new one

  • Satellite U925t cannot boot from USB

    Hi
    I cannot boot from USB flash drive on Satellite U925t. I use bootable USB flash drive inserted (Hiren Boot 15.2, sure booted on another laptop), restart the system. When the splash screen is displayed, press F12 to access the boot menu, selecting USB - but laptop no boot from USB.
    Please, Help me.
    Thank you very much

    From within Windows, try holding SHIFT when you select Shut down. Is there any change then?
    Also, try entering the UEFI settings, disabling Secure Boot, and changing UEFI to CSM.

  • Satellite M45: Cannot boot from CD-ROM or HDD

    I'm getting the following messages...
    WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table"
    WHEN BOOTING FROM CD-ROM: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM"
    Consequently, even though I have the recovery CDs the computer cannot read them.
    I tried changing boot order to no avail. Created a Bart's bootable CD which works in my other computer but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers I need for this CD-ROM?
    I am at wits end on this one.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think your partition on the HDD is corrupt and therefore you cannot boot from the HDD.
    In such cases the HDD should be completely formatted and then you could try to install the OS.
    It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the bootable CD (WinXP???) and therefore its not possible to boot from the drive.
    Well, its really stupid situation :_| really stupid!
    However, did you try booting from other CD? For example original Microsoft Windows CD?
    If not I would recommend to do it and possibly the drive will be able to read the other CD.
    If not so I think the drive must be checked. Possibly its also corrupt.

  • Cannot boot from installed disk on Intel Xserve

    I have an Intel Xserve.
    I have had it for some months,it has been working fine, it is a standby backup machine to others and is used as a testbed.
    I have just installed from the supplied DVD 10.4.8.
    The installation goes smoothly, however after the first reboot. The system is trying to install from dvd again.
    I have tried installing a known working Intel boot disk, and this just gives a folder with the flashing question mark.
    I have tried formatting the disk and partitioning making sure to use GUID partition and it doesn't boot.
    I can however boot from a external FW drive with 10.4.10 installed.
    I can then go into Startup disk and set the boot disk as on of the installed drives, but this has No effect.
    I am currently trying to Clone from the FW drive to an installed drive.
    Has anyone seen this behaviour?
    Can someone tell me what I can try to resolve this.
    All I have read regarding Flashing Question Marks is to ensure disks are using GUID partion and when booting from another disk to set the boot disk in the System Prefences.

    Welcome to the forum!
    You're missing the first disk which is "Rescue and Recovery", followed by CDs 1-7.
    Make sure to re-align the partitions before or after OS installation in order to get the proper utilization of that SSD.
    Good luck.

  • Satellite P cannot boot from CD & PXE-E61 Media Test failure

    No bootable CD in ATAPI - CD ROM message on power up.
    Also displays PXE-E61 Media Test failure, check cable. PXE - M0F: exiting PXE ROM.
    Bad feeling about this.
    Can you confirm my worst suspicions please.

    Hi
    In most cases the HDD is dead and you will need to replace this.
    The PXE Media Test failure message appears because the unit ties to boot from LAN.
    I think you tried to boot from the disk but the disk was not readable and the unit switched to HDD.
    But the HDD is not bootable and therefore the notebook tries to boot from LAN.

  • Satellite A200 won't boot from recovery disk

    I need to reinstall the notebook but every time I boot from CD it won't.
    I tried every boot disk ( xp pro, xp home, Toshiba recovery disk ) at house but none of it works.
    The recovery disk boots (windows is loading) but after loading my laptop restarts.

    > Try to run Recocery CD under Windows and then choose reinstall option from cd menu
    Something like that is not possible using the Toshiba Recovery disk
    > tried every boot disk ( xp pro, xp home, Toshiba recovery disk ) at house but none of it works.
    In my opinion your CD/DVD drive can not read the inserted medias and therefore its not possible to restore the operating system.
    I think the CD/DVD drive should be checked by an notebook technician and if necessary it should be replaced.

  • Satellite L850-161 won't boot from recovery disk

    When I got the laptop in 2012 I created 4 recovery disks but since then i've had my HDD replaced in my SATELLITE L850-161 but it has the recovery partition with nothing in it and the laptop won't boot from disk either so I can't format it but really need to, any suggestions??

    If you have 4 recovery discs be sure you start installation with disc number 1. After HDD exchange you should be able to use created recovery discs for recovery image installation.
    Does some other bootable disc starts properly?
    To be honest I dont understand how new HDDD can contain recovery partition that will be created if recovery image installation works.
    Problem is that in such situation you dont have many options. In worst case you can order original recovery disc for your machine.

  • Satellite A50: Cannot boot from the Recovery CD

    I have a toshiba satellite a50 when i try and recover back to factory settings but my computer doesnt recognise the cd and it doesnt boot from the recoverey cd can someone help i explored the cd there is is a file with extension .gho i really need to format my pc

    Insert the CD into you drive.

    For booting from the CD you have to press the C button immediately after notebook starting.

  • Laptop won't boot from recovery disk, can't find recovery partition

    My sister asked to again "fix" her Toshiba laptop because it was full of viruses. The last time, I had to reformat it in order to completely remove all the junk toolbars, etc. I saw all the junk programs again and decided it would be quicker and easier to reformat it again (I backed it up first) but something went wrong. It will not reinstall the OS. It will not boot from the system repair disk. I have set up and reformatted multiple computers and I have never ever had this issue occur. Startup repair runs for a while, says it can't automatically fix the laptop, lists "No OS installed" among errors. I've tried going into the BIOS and making various changes. The recovery partition seems to be gone and the repair disk is of no use. Does anyone have any suggestions? Because I'm looking at buying a new hard drive. I think it got corrupted by a virus or me doing something wrong, even though I did everything I did the last time.

    Hi! In your situation, I recommend ordering the recovery media from Toshiba. I'm thinking that your OS has been corrupted by a Virus and you no longer have the hidden recovery partition. I have replied on the other message also. If you have further questions, I will try to answer them as best I can. You can get the Toshiba recovery media here. Scroll down to the bottom to find recovery media.

  • Cannot boot from recovery, yet hardware diagnostics finds no problem

    Hello,
    I have a mid-2011 MacBook Air 11" which is running Mountain Lion, with most recent updates.  No new software recently installed, and I was running Pages and a few other standards apps, when....
    suddenly, computer started just going black and restarting, then would work for 10-30 seconds, then go black and restart.
    It has been like this for two days, and now almost never even gets to the login screen.  Usually, it just goes black after the Apple icon and starts over, sometimes the cursor appears in the upper left on that screen as well (which seems bizarre).  Sometimes it will load the linen background, with the cursor in the upper left hand corner, but then be totally frozen.
    Here's what I've tried:
    -Ran the apple hardware diagnostics by holding "D" on startup.  Both normal test and extensive test revealed no problems.
    -Tried command-R and command-option-R revcoveries from boot up, nothing ever happens
    -Tried safe boot, nothing ever happens
    -Tried PRAM reset and SMR reset (the power one, I may have the name wrong)
    -Tried booting up from the Recovery disk, no sucess
    -Tried booting up from a USB recovery disk, which I made on my iMac
    The last shot actually once got me to the disk utility. I was able to run to "reapair disk" to my main HD with no problems found.  I than was in the process of running "repair disk permissions" when it went black again.  I have not been able to get back to this point, however.
    I am BROKE, out of warranty, and would really love any idea anyone may have for a clean wipe/install.
    Thanks for your help!

    So here's an update:
    Still constantly shutting down, but some new interesting things:
    1. If the run the Apple server hardware dianostics (through holding 'D'), it is the only thing I've tried where it doesn't randomly shut down.  I've had this open for 1+ hour, and no shut down.  This makes me think it's not hardware related, but I'm just guessing
    2. I installed a fresh copy of ML on an external HD, trying the directions in the above article.  It did not show up in the options of bootable drives when I held down 'option' on boot up.
    3. I then came across this: http://www.macworld.com/article/1167857/how_to_make_a_bootable_mountain_lion_ins tall_drive.html
    Using this method, the external HD did show up as recovery disk, which I was able to boot up.  I got through the first several screens of a fresh ML install when it froze this time, right after the long progress bar.  This is the futherest I got through any method.   I have, sadly, not been able to get back to that point since the first try, though.
    4. I have been able to get the globe from an internet recovery off of the internal partition recovery drive, but after the progress bar and the spinning globe, I just get the linen background, with the cursor stuck in the upper left hand corner, and no dialog box to top bar.
    5. It seems like I can get further after I've given it a break.  With that in mind, I gave it several hours rest, then was able to log all the way in for about 15 secs.  I managed to take this bad photo just before it went black again (sorry I missed so much of the crash report):
    Sorry for the bad photo, it's all I had time for.  The last time I saw one of these, the BSD process name was a file related to Magician, a monitoring program.  This time it looks to be related to Sophos.  This being different makes me then think that it isn't third party software causing the problem, but instead Apple's kernal.  Once again, this is just a guess.
    Ideas?
