Satellite C870-121 recovery discs is not working?

Hi...
I have a weird problem, I bought the computer 6 months ago and have been happy with it, but I got somekind of virus and all the OS was ****ed up big time, so yesterday I would da a factory install with the recovery discs I created when I purchased the computer.
I have the Toshiba System Disc and 4 recovery dvds, I insert the sytem disc and all looks like it should, it loads and then it ask for Disc One of the recovery discs, I insert Disc 1 and after 10 sec. it ejects it again and ask for Disc One again.
I have verified the 5 discs on my other computer and there is data on them and they look okay, I have tried inserting all of the discs to see if I switched them when I printed on them, nothing is working, it will simply not reconize disc one and I am stuck? Any help from anyone?
I am pretty sure its not the hardware that are bad, because I had an old XP windows disc, and after I tried all, I tried to install this on the computer and everything was fine, but I would like to have windows 7 as the computer came with....
Regards Allan Thomsen

Hi all :) Thanks for the answer, but I figured it out after spending 2 hours reading on forums and boards...
I found other people with the same problem, and some clever people had found that if the HD is in different partitions than they were on purchase they could not use the recovery discs (not only Toshiba issue, but many different brands)...
*I thought I would give this a try and deleted all partitions on the HD, so it became completly empty, then I inserted the Repair disc again and then Disc One when it asked for it, and ALL went fine, I have my Windows 7 back now* :)
Anyways I am not a wizard and have zero knowledge about Windows 7 and recovery discs, but this method worked for me 100 procent, so would share this with you all, in case someone else have the same problem...

  • Recovery disc does not work for Satellite A100-197

    I am working on a A100-197 that would not boot into ordinary Windows but was able to boot into Safe mode.
    I used MSConfig to turn off everything at startup and all non-MS services. No good.
    I used system restore. No good.
    I scanned for viruses, rootkits etc. None found. No good.
    I copied data to another hard drive using safe mode with networking and inserted the recovery DVD.
    Went through unpacking and got message telling me to remove DVD - did this and system appeared to freeze.
    Hit the exit button and it rebooted but Windows froze (the moving blobs stopped moving). Tried safe mode
    but got a message saying that the system installation did not finish.
    Tried the recovery again but this time I left the unpacking screen at 100% overnight to see if
    it did anything. It didn't. Clicked exit and got the same as above.
    Formatted HDD in partition magic and tried again. No good.
    Created 5GB FAT32 partition and copied DVD files to FAT32 partition. Tried to run the unpacking program
    from DOS. It refused to run in DOS mode.
    I'm thinking of linking the hdd to another machine and running RecoUnpack.exe from a working PC to
    unpack the image files onto the laptop HDD, but this is crazy - the recovery disc is supposed to recover the
    system. What else can I try?

    Thanks Dennis. I was starting to think similar things myself.
    There was a program installed called Daemon Tools which uses
    SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD) layer. My analysis suggested this was the rogue
    program but I followed all the uninstall procedures and couldn't seem to solve the problem.
    I don't suppose (and I've never had anything like this before) that it could have fouled up
    something in the hardware layer? I tried resetting the BIOS to default settings. Maybe I should
    flash the BIOS? Could it have altered any other ROM on the laptop? Is there other ROM on
    the laptop?
    I hate software that ruins computers! Why can't people just use their b***** machines for sensible
    things?

  • (Resolved) Windows 8 - Recovery Discs Do Not Work With New Hard Drive

    Update:
    I decided to buy drive cloaning software.  I cloned my drive, that resolved the problem of installing the OS on the new drive.  Too bad neither HP's Restore disc's or this support fourm could help with this issue.
    Origional Post:
    Product Name:  HP Pavilion G4-2235DX
    Product Number:  C3Q50UAR#ABA
    BIOS:  Insyde F.26, 2/21/2013
    Processor: AMD A6-4400M APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics, 2700 Mhz, 2 Core(s)
    BIOS Mode:  UEFI
    SMBIOS Version:  2.7
    RAM:  12GB
    Operating System:  Windows 8 - 64bit (6.2.9200 Build 9200)
    Situation:  I purchased this computer new as a refurbished model from a retail store.  I created system restore discs after initial setup using the HP Recovery Media Creation Utility.  This system has a 500 GB hard drive.  I purchased a Western Digital 1 TB hard drive to upgrade the drive in this notebook.  After swaping out the drives and trying to load the recovery onto the new 1TB hard drive in the same computer, an HP dialogue so states "This PC is not supported by the System Recovery Discs. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs."  It gives a code (doesn't call it an error code) 0110-C3150UQ43#ABA underneath and only option is okay, the system reboots and follows the same pattern again and again.
    I have upgraded drives in the past on Vista and 7 the same way using self created HP recovery discs with no issue, I do know what i'm doing.    I've seen discussion mentioning BIOS issues and other such problems.  I did try updating the BIOS to the one on the HP Support page (2013-03-01 , Version:F.26, 7.76M) and the recovery discs still will not work.  I found the CyberLink Recovery Discs Utility thread, however this solution/software has no support for Windows 8.  I have tried to run the utility and it fails, tried with compatiabity and it failed.  Why is this happening and what can be done to resolve this problem?
    I tried using chat support but it won't let me get through to anyone, claiming my warranty is expired.  I just bought this computer 3 days ago and was assured a 90 day warranty.
    Please help, Thanks.

    Information on the warranty:
    Refurbished computers are often erroneously marked as out of warranty, but it is simple to fix, and a phone representative could have corrected that for you. All computers' warranty start dates begin on the day they leave the factory. HP knows that there will be a period where the computer will sit on a shelf (for days or months) at the retailer. With refurbished computers, their 90-day warranties begin on the day they are refurbished. HP has no way of knowing what date the customer will buy the computer so the warranty start date stays the same until the customer registers the computer providing the date of purchase for the warranty system to be updated. If the registration process fails for some reason (rare, but it happens), phone technical support has a process they can initiate to have the warranty corrected. They only need a copy of the receipt showing the date of purchase. 
    I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks again for you post!

  • Recovery discs do not work with new hard drive

    Hi I have come here desperately seeking help as I am not too knowledgeable with the workings of computers and I have spent an incredible amount of time just trying to get my laptop to some level of functionality.  I purchased a HP Envy and it had a corrupt hard drive which would not work from day one, laptop was new.  After a year of constant pressure on HP they finally decided to replace it and let me choose any laptop so I went with the Beats Envy 14 as it was the best one offered from the selection.  Low and behold the thing would not work properly from day one, again my brother who is much more of an expert said that there was definitely a hard drive issue so for the past 3 years I have put up with a computer that constantly crashes with BSOD, where I have lost data on numerous occasions (only so often I can back up), that I have had to constantly reset the thing using HP recovery discs, and that generally cannot cope when performing multiple tasks.   HP are most certainly shocking builds from my experience.  Then just last week the hard drive just craps itself and the laptop no longer will boot up.  I took it to a guy to get it at leYst working again so he has installed a new hard drive but with an old version of Windows 7.  I want to go back to the Windows version I was akin to on the HP recovery disk , and essentially have it all set up as before except for now having a workable hard drive however I get the message:  "This computer is not supported by the System Recovery Discs.You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these discs.Error: 0100 - 3385 - 3078" I also tried out of interest to load my old Windows 7 disc I had and XP but had no success.  Tried booting from startup etc and various things suggested on help forums.  Please tell me I am not stuck with this version of windows.  Whilst the discs included Windows 7 it was a totally different version, this home premium one is terrible. Any help/advice would be gratefully received. Thanks

    no they were both 500gb. I read about that already, I heard about creating a partition for recovery etc but this is all a bit above me , as I said I am not very technical when it comes to the working of a computer.  These discs worked perfectly before but now with the new hard drive will not load at all.  I essentially hate the Windows Home Premium verions the guy who fixed it put on, whilst the discs had Windows 7 on them the icons were way smaller, the desktop neater, the buttons different, everything was a lot more modern and I was used to it.  This version looks like something from the 90s, have to constantly adjust size of Mozilla when browsing as it is huge.  I have my own version of Windows 7 on another disc but the hard drive will not let it load either........considering waiting for Windows 10 but again unsure if this new hard drive will even let that update Thanks

  • Windows 8 recovery disc #2 not working

    Last week I ordered (and paid for) a set of Windows 8 Recovery Kit discs from hp.com. My HDD died and I couldn't get the recovery partition to load, so I purchased a new identical HDD and received the recovery discs before this past weekend.
    I started the recovery process and everything was fine until it reached 60% complete while copying files to the new HDD, and got a pop up message that copying the file BASE23.SWM had failed. I retried it (as it doesn't give  you any other option) and after 15-20 minutes the error is reported again. I can hear the DVD drive spinning up and winding down during this time, so it sounds like the disc is damaged and it can't read part of the file. Meanwhile, I clean the disc (even though it looks brand new) and try again, still no joy.
    So I take the disc and put it in my work laptop. With an external patch cable I attached the new HDD to my work laptop, and manually tried to copy the BASE23.SWM file to the HDD. The operation eventually goes into an infinite loop trying to copy the file. The same happens when I try to t copy the file to my work HDD (so I know it's not an issue with the new HDD). Also, other SWM files can be copied from the same disc, so it looks like the BASE23.SWM file is corrupt on this disc.
    What's my next step? Is there a way to pull the BASE23.SWM file from the DVD or can I assume that file is corrupted?

    I would phone HP Support to inform them of the error and request a replacement set of Recovery Discs.

  • My Recovery discs will not work in my 5005-S504

    Good afternoon everyone. I have a toshiba 5005-s504. I got a virus, and decided to use my recovery discs to reload. It started to relaod, and took approximately a half hour. When I tried to reboot, the entire drive was gone. Nothing at all. So I decided to put the recovery discs in again. It starts, and about 1minute in, I'm getting a ghost message reading "Error accessing file. Please check media and retry." I hit enter, and another error comes up "Error 11000. Invalid dump. If this problem persists please contact Toshiba support..."
    Any suggestions..... PLEASE!

    you can contact your phone carrier and see if they have the building antennas.  you can setup this in your office etc and it grabs the signal.  but i know they are not cheap but don't know any pricing.  contact your carrier.

    How to boot your Toshiba PC from CD-ROM, LAN, or diskette
    Print
    Document ID: 98080545
    Posted Date: 09/16/04
    Last Updated: 07/21/06

    Use of any software made available for download from this system constitutes your acceptance of the Export Control Terms and the terms in the Toshiba end-user license agreement both of which you can view before downloading any such software.
    Information:
    Many Toshiba PCs can boot (start Windows, or another operating system) from devices other than the built-in hard disk (HDD) or built-in diskette drive (FDD). These devices include USB diskette drives, CD-ROM discs, a local area network (LAN), and PC Card (PCMCIA) hard disk drives.
    Toshiba PCs that offer alternate boot devices allow you to specify which device to boot from (the 'boot priority') by three methods:
    From BIOS Setup (semi-permanent setting)
    Boot priority specifies the order in which the computer searches for a bootable operating system. For example, if you set your system to boot from devices in this order: CD-ROM > HDD > LAN, the computer first checks for a bootable CD, then for a bootable HDD, then for a bootable LAN, and loads the operating system from the first one it finds.
    Different models offer different options for setting boot priority. For information about how to access the BIOS/CMOS settings on your Toshiba PC, please see the Support Bulletin entitled "How to access the BIOS Settings on your Toshiba Portable PC" that is applicable to your model. By setting the boot priority in this manner, the boot selected priority setting will be retained for all future restarts, until it is changed again.
    From the Boot Device Menu (temporary setting)
    When the TOSHIBA splash screen is displayed when you first turn on your computer, a boot menu prompt may be displayed for a few seconds near the bottom of the screen, indicating that a key (F2 or F12, for example) can be pressed to display a menu of boot options. The time allowed for detecting the keypress is very brief, so you'll need to be both prepared and quick.
    On some models this prompt reads Press F12 for boot menu. On others, it may say Press C to boot from CD-ROM. On still others, there may be a row of colored icons representing the various boot devices (HDD, FDD, CD, LAN, PCMCIA, etc.) Press F12 while these icons are displayed, and then use the arrow keys to move the cursor from one to another. As new models are released, the wording of these prompts may change.
    On models that offer a text boot device menu, simply press the key corresponding to the desired boot device from the list of available devices.
    The selection of a boot device from any of these boot device menus affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
    From the Boot Device Hotkeys (temporary setting)
    Immediately after pressing the power-on button, press the hotkey for the device from which you wish to boot:
    Hotkey Boots from device
    C IDE CD-ROM1
    F ISA FDD2
    U USB FDD3
    N internal LAN adapter4
    The computer will boot from the selected device if it finds a bootable operating system, otherwise it will search for a bootable device, following the boot priority set in BIOS Setup.
    "IDE CD-ROM" refers to the computer's internal CD-ROM drive (built-in, SelectBay, or built-in to a Toshiba docking device).
    "ISA FDD" refers to an internal or SelectBay diskette drive, or an external diskette drive that connects to the PC through a special Toshiba-proprietary connector.
    Not all models support booting from a USB-connected diskette drive.
    Not all models support the hotkey for the internal LAN adapter, even though they may support booting from LAN.
    The selection of a boot device from Boot Device Hotkeys affects only the current startup operation; the next time the computer is started it will follow the boot priority setting established in BIOS Setup (see the BIOS Setup method, above).
    Notes:
    Booting from a CD in a CD-ROM drive requires that the CD be made bootable when it is created ('burned'). Simply copying files to a CD does not make it bootable.
    If a "PXE..." error is displayed when you start the computer, it indicates that the computer is attempting to boot from a network (LAN), but is not able to find a remote boot server. If this happens repeatedly, and you are not deliberately trying to boot from a network server, change the boot priority in BIOS Setup to make 'LAN' the last entry in the list of boot devices.

  • Recovery discs: says not the right model when trying to install

    Hi I have a real problem.I have a 1330n Media center desktop. I never had to use the system recovery discs before. I bought this PC new from Circuit City when they were in business.      A little info.
    A few years ago HP sent me the full set of recovery discs after the courts made them supply owners with a physical set of discs and not the hard drive partition like they supplied. I never used these. I do have my system backed up with Retrospect and if I ever had an issue I always relied on that.
    I just got a trojan that hit everything even the recovery partition. I needed to format and go from scratch. I knew I had these recovery discs so I was not afraid to try different methods of recovery. I was told by the anti virus people AVG to install from a Win XP disc and format the hd and start there. The discs I have from HP do not work as AVG said so I went to my Retrospect back up restore cd. It brings up my restore shell but fails to show the external drive where my back up resides. I now have only one choice my HP recovery discs. I tried to use them and they say not the right model.
    What do I do now? I need to get this up so I can restore my retrospect backup.
    Any suggestions?

    Read the section "Error: These PC recovery discs do NOT support this PC model" in the troubleshooting recovery in Windows XP web page. Try these steps and/or verify everything is correct.

  • Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

    I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
    I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
    I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
    The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
    If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
    DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
    Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
    However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
    I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
    I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
    Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
    I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
    But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
    If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
    PLS help me somebody -
    THANKS!

    Hi Michal
    Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
    Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
    So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
    My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
    As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
    Now some details about your dual OS installation.
    You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
    This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
    The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
    Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
    This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
    Thats it!

  • Recovery discs don't work, Toshiba wants $25? - Qosmio G35-AV660

    I have a Qosmio G35-AV660. Basically, my recovery discs don't work. The first one does, but when it asks for the second one, I put it in, and it just spins and spins, and then pops out and it asks for the second disc again. I called Toshiba about this, and they went through the spiel about how it costs $25 and how it's not their fault, and that's the price for them to get it from this other company. I told them that I was willing to send my discs in, to verify that they aren't working right, and that I'm not trying to cheat them out of a free set of discs, but they wouldn't hear of it.
    I just want to be able to get QosmioPlayer working again, and the only way I can do that is with the recovery discs, and there's no way I'm paying $25 for something I already have, that should work, but doesn't, for no reason whatsoever.
    If anybody can help me out, either with a disc image (I only need the second disc), or a spare second disc, I'd be incredibly grateful.

    Also, I can prove that I own both discs, either with pictures, or MD5 keys, or whatever.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    I have a Iphone 4 gsm (8f190) and it will not connect to itunes and when i put it in recovery itunes will not work.  It won't show up when plugged into the computer.  Only charges when plugged in the wall or a car charger.  I've tried everything imaginable but I can't get the phone to register in iTunes at all.. The phone won't even reset.. when i try and reset EVERYTHING on the phone the apple logo with the progress bar starts to come up but the progress never moves.. PLEASE help me.. I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • I have a mac which plays the boot sound but the screen stays black. Recovery mode does not work, as the keyboard is wireless. What do I do?

    What it says in the title.
    I have an older mac and it worked perfectly until about an hour ago when I shut it down because we needed the room dark for a presentation and the screen saver was putting out light.
    Now it won't turn back on. It plays the start up music but the screen stays blank.
    The CMD+OPT+R for recovery mode doesn't do anything, the keyboard is wireless so the command doesn't get to the computer and that's the only keyboard I have since that's the one it came with.
    I'm looking at making a USB recovery disk but it says that I should click on "Options" in the Disk Utility but there is no options button or menu to click.
    From here: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant in step 3 I get stuck.
    Also it says that if I make a drive on this computer which has an older OS it might not work on the broken machine with Mavericks.
    This machine literally worked and I turned it off and now it does not work and there seems to be nothing I can do... ***...

    well, then recovery mode does not work. I've tried all the key combinations I've seen on line. Command+R, Command+Option+R, Command+Option+P+R, none of these work.
    I don't believe there is anything we can do on a forum to help then, you need to take it into a AASP and have it professionaly diagnosed. If you don't know how to locate an AASP in your area you can begin by using Contact Apple for support and service
    Good luck.
