Satellite L10-151 wont load XP or recovery disc

Hi
I have a Satellite L10-151 model and it wont load windows. Every time I try and start it, it says operating system not found. When I put the Toshiba recovery discs in that came with the notebook and I also bought a windows XP disc that wont load either.
I have also taken the hard drive out and put another one in and it works fine so it must be the hard drive but dont no what.
I have also tried installing windows 7 that doesnt work either :s
Please help? The HDD has everything on it.

Hi
In my opinion the CD/DVD drive cannot read the inserted disk and therefore its not possible to boot and to install the new OS.
It could be an problem with the CD/DVD drive or the ODD is not able to handle this one recovery disk
Try to copy/burn the recovery disk using another computer.
Possibly the notebooks CD/DVD drive would be able to handle this second disk and you could be able to install the Win XP
From my experience this helps in many times especially if the issue is related to the ODD

Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total formate with recovery disc?

Hello,
I had a Trojan on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted it, but everytime I have been connected to the Internet it appeared anew. Not connected to the Internet it did not give me any problems. As I could not get rid of it, I saved all my data and made a new installation from the recovery disc. As long, as the button for Wireless LAN is switched off, everything works properly, but just a short time, after I have switched it on, I get a blue screen. When I reboot my computer with the WLAN switched on, it produces a bluescreen even before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried the recovery 3 times, but it is always the same result.
1. Is it possible, that the Trojan destroyed things of the pre installation?
2. I can not choose to make a formatation during the recovery process. All data is lost, but I have the impression, that it does not formate the harddrive properly, so that everything is destroyed. Does it just overwrite some stuff?
3. Is there a way to do a proper formatation and then install Windows totally anew?
It is not a problem of my WLAN card, since internet is no problem in Linux.
Thank you for your help
Tody

Hi!
If you use the Toshiba recovery disk the whole HDD will be formatted so if you have viruses or Trojans on your notebook they will be deleted too.
But what BSOD code are you got? Are you sure that this is the reason of viruses?
Do you have the same issue if you connect a LAN cable to the notebook?
Bye

Satellite U500-17E - Need Windows 7 64bit recovery disc

HI,
I am looking for someone who is able to copy for me *Windows 7 64bit Home Premium recovery disc from partition for Toshiba Satellite U500-17E* (Czech Language - or English). I resized partition and deleted windows 7 recovery disc and now I need it for reinstall due to disc problems. I don't want buy copy because I bought toshiba satellite with windows 7 and why pay twice for same thing.
Please let me know if you are able to copy recovery disc for me and put it to some web page which I can download it from. You can make a password to prevent abuse.
I can give you a small donation over paypal.
Martin

It is not understandable for me why you have ignored Toshibas reminder about recovery DVD creation but it is definitely your mistake and now you have this stupid problem.
Maybe somebody can help you with this but you should leave your e-mail address here.
By the way: if you are ready to give some donation then you can also pay this 30 euro and order original disc for your notebook model.
If you will change your mind here is address for recovery disc order - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Satellite U300-13U fails to boot and Recovery disc fails to work too

Hi All,
I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it has been nothing but a right pain since the first day we got it.
I have had it about 2 years & must have had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the Product Recovery Disc as laptop wouldn't boot.
The laptop runs Vista.
Anyway problem I have now is that once again laptop fails to boot but for some reason Product Recovery disc also fails to work.....
What can I do...
I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how/ what S/W do I use.....?
The laptop has a 160Gb SATA HD installed. How can I check this is all working.
I have no idea if current problem is S/W or hardware related..
Does Toshiba have a utility I can use...?
Many thanks for any help....
John

Hi Paolo,
Thks for the reply. I have made some success since I posted. I actually downloaded Ubuntu & created a boot up disk. I have managed to successfully load this alongside the Vista (which doesn't work) & everything seems OK - so all I can say is that it must be somekind of s/w issue or perhaps damaged sectors or something on the Vista install.
I am happy to use Ubuntu - it will be interesting to see if I have to do anymore reformats in future...
Thks, John

Satellite L300-1AS - error while creating a Recovery disc

I am trying to create recovery disc for Sat L300-1AS,
I have tried a number of various DVD discs from top quality to DVD-R / DVD+R but each time when the system is verifying the data I get an error message 02016F-3C 00000000
What am i doing wrong please help as frustration is really beginning to kick in now
Thanks

> have tried to update the driver,(T002 & T003) but the systems does not allow it
Seems the firmware has not been released for the CD/DVD drive installed in your notebook.
> only bought it yesterday think I may take it back to the retailer and get a replacement
Yes, maybe you should do this

Satellite A660 - Windows wont load - I cant recover

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 7U.
Last night it failed to boot.
I ran the Norton ghost start up cd and backed up most of the stuff I needed.
I also noticed C drive has become just 1.5gig and there was a extra drive!!!
I tried to run system restore using Toshibas start up factory restore settings. first it says not enough space in C drive then when I changed the settings to delete all partitions it was preparing for a long time the copying also for a long (10min) time then switched itself off.
Now what shall I do? Is my HDD gone?
I can see all my stuff when I use Norton ghost though. I copied most of the stuff in D drive. Possibility of a virus?
william

Thanks guys. Yes i have made the DVDs.
Now what I did was format the whole drive 600gb using the 3rd party bootable drive. Then I started using recovery disks to restore. But almost every time the computer switches itself off for no reason while trying to copy the files. At times it switches off as soon as I push it on. Partition software was able to format the whole drive without any issue.
Could it be the partition tables that are messed up?- what i mainly dont understand is as to why the machines switches off abruptly. Could it be the MB or the RAM or failed HDD that switches off the computer.
Any ideas are more than welcome.
I was able to back most of the data to a external HDD. Does recovering to factory settings make HDDs go bad?
null
I just noticed, as I try to copy the recovery DVDs contents the machines switches off again in 20 sec o so it tried to starts itself, then again it switches off the again it starts by itself, this is weird this goes on happening...

Satellite L505-10K - Unexpected error when using recovery disk creator

Toshiba Satellite L505-10k
Can't make any recovery disc when I open toshiba recovery media creator, it says: an unexpected error occurred. Close the program and then restart it (error code: 0D00F6-49-00000015) and then I click ok and then it comes again and then I click ok and it comes again and I click ok and then the program comes and when I create the disc it comes to the verification, but then it says: Unable to read the following file. E: \ Boot \ fonts \ chs_boot.ttf (error code: 02015-20-00000000).
I really do need help, I'm afraid something will happen to my computer, so is there anyone who knows something about this kind of problem?
Thankful for your help.

Hi
I don't now if that works be cause when I got my computer I tried to create an recovery disc but it says yeah, you know, and I was looking in the folder if the file was there as it says that it could not read but the file isn't there so I don't think that it works to do an recovery from the HDD but I know that I can order an recovery disc from toshiba but I don't know if it works to do an recovery with it du you think so? but if I order an recovery disc do you think that I can get it for my language? I'm from sweden.

Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

Hi everybody!
Need some help with my Satellite A300. I lost the optical recovery disc I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I'm trying to burn a new recovery disc I can't find the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the recovery files left - a folder named HDDRecovery with size 4.5 GB. The problem is to find out how to burn the disc.
Can anyone help?
//iMate, Sweden

Hello
F8 will works just if you didnt change anything with first partition and if you still use factory settings.
"Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" cannot be gone for no reason. Either you have removed it from the system or you have installed own Vista OS.
I don't want to speculate why you cannot use F8 anymore but fact is that for new Vista installation you need recovery DVD.
You can order one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

T42P-Rebooting Windows after Loading/installing Recovery Discs

I just installed a new hard drive after crash, and loaded new purchased recovery disc set from Lenovo. Any ideas how to get machine to boot to windows after installing? Keeps rebooting to Recovery menu with no options for windows. Assume this recovery disc set brings laptop to 'as new shipped' condition.
thanks,
B

As the recovery discs are read, the recovery program copies a number of compressed files over to the hard drive. It then boots back into the recovery program, "prepares" the hard drive (this process takes some time and the dialog box appears to hang with no evident hard drive activity) and then extracts the system and application files to their proper locations. After this it boots into Windows to begin the configuration process (unless you press F11 at the prompt, which puts you back into the recovery program and allows you to do a custom recovery without going through the configuration process for the full recovery). It will boot into Windows a number of times as it completes the configuration process.
I hope I remembered all that correctly. Anyway, at which point is your machine rebooting?
Don

Satellite L300D - Vista recovery disc fails

Hi,
my 1 Y old satellite L300D-12U /VISTA was sold without recovery disc, so I made the discs as described in the users guide.
last week we wanted to reinstalll the system and tried to use the disc, the installation started, but after 15 minutes it failed with some error messages ....
as mentioned several times in this forum I ordered an official product recovery disc , taht was shipped by the german supplier arvato services.
unfortunately these installations failed with the same messages .. as described below.
any comments, what to do (except buying a new vista license ...) ??
thank you !
description:
the systems boots from disc to the entry screen, I can define a language
the system builds 3 partitions and formatted them
then ImageX extracts some Software
at 57% a message:
C:\windows\winsxs\X86_microsoft-windows-ehome-ehcir_ird_31bf .......(many numbers).. e35_6.0.6000.16663_non771..\ehcir.ird

after 5 or 6 Retries .... with similar error message
ERROR 1117 \ehcyrtt.dll [UncompressFile Seq 60 -> createfiel failed ]
winload.exe failed

In my opinion you should contact nearest authorized service and explain the situation. I can imagine that self created recovery DVD can be somehow defect but original one. I don't think so
I don't know for sure but maybe HDD make problems.
Contact service and explain the situation. they can put new HDD inside and test recovery installation with your original Toshiba recovery DVD.

Recovery Disc on New Harddrive not working

I have a HP MS213 all in one desktop. The original hard drive went bad so I went and got aother hardrive that is the same size. I ordered the recovery disk from HP. I load all the recovery disc and after disc 3 it says to remove all recovery disc and it will now load the software and can take up to 3 hours. I click next then after the splash screen it says Operating System not found.
Is there anything in the bios I need to change?

Hello Mike4172, If the HP Recovery Restore Disk set appears to have installed correctly, this should have no effect on the BIOS settings.
You may want to enter the BIOS and make sure the first boot device is the CD\DVD group and the hard drive is recognized and set as the second boot device.
It is possible the original hard drive was not faulty to start with and the system may have experienced another fault.

Recovery disc for Vista OEMAct Corrupted.. Please help

Hello,
I have a Satellite L305-S5933. I created a recovery disc and tried to format, in the middle of the process it said the Disc is corrupted and ended the process and now I cannot proceed with anything.
I tried to install another Recovery Disc and it said that the Windows needs activation. I tried to enter the key found on the laptop, it said it's not correct.
I don't know what to do... Please help!!!!!
Thank you

Did it say that the Recovery Disk was corrupted or the hard drive?
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Recovery disc wont start - Satellite L10

Trying to use the recovery disc on my L10. The manual says to put the disc in and start the computer while downpressing "C"...nothing happends and when i release "C" it goes into normal windows mode...Anyone ?

Hi
By pressing the C button the unit should automatically boot from the CD/DVD drive. But if doesnt work so you can try to change the BIOS booting order (CD drive at the first place).
Put the Recovery CD into the drive and start the unit again

Sun Virtual Box & Toshiba Satellite L10 - product recovery settings problem

Hi-
I had a problem a while back with my Satellite L10 and was unable to get full recovery settings after installing Sun Virtual Box and ignoring Microsoft warnings.
I suspect this has now cloned my disk. Something is very very wrong. I am using Win 7 beta in the interim but would like my XP back.
My notes to Sun Microsystems are here:
[http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15106 ]
Has anyone had the same experience or what does Toshiba recommend?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi -
Thanks very much for the advice.
It's really strange as the system runs through Win 98 options on booting the product recovery dvd but then gets you to a full & perfect toshiba L10 XP.
I reinstalled XP and went through the process you mentioned above (F8 etc) after installing - at least my safe boot mode options etc. are there.
My guess is that either the disk itself picked up on the cloning or something outside the HDD has been cloned or produced an 'image' of the previous HDD.
If I want to get a new product recovery dvd (as a next step in my investigation) can I download from the net or do I have to order from Toshiba (is this a good course of action?...).
My system can only burn cd's, but I could get someone else to burn a dvd for me if this is possible.
Thanks....

Satellite L300 wont load up

Hi all,
Ive got a L300 that wont open up, Ive tried to do self repair but it gets half way through and it just freezes. Ive tried the re-boot discs but Ive had no joy.
Now Ive taken it to a computer repair shop who said that the hard drive is defective.
What do you guys think is that correct?

If you were not able to install OS using original Toshiba recovery DVD it is possible that HDD is defective.
HDD exchange is not complicated and you can do this alone.
At the bottom side you will see HDD cover. Remove it and gently move HDD to the side and then you can remove it completely.
Buy the same one, built in HDD caddy and put back into the laptop.
Use recovery disc again and install OS.
