Satellite Pro L300 PSLB1A: Recovery disk not working - 0xc000000f error

I get error 0xc000000f when restarting and if i try the recovery disk i get error error: 10-FC12-0241
operating system is vista business and laptop is toshiba L300 PSLB1A - 02S008

Hi
You mean you cannot boot the notebook using the Toshiba Recovery disk which you have created?
Go to the BIOS and check if the CD/DVD drive is recognized. It should be listed on the first BIOS page.
If the CD/DVD drive is not listed then you should set the SATA mode to compatible and should save the changes.
After that try to boot again from the Recovery disk.
I also searched on the Toshiba European driver page for some info and found some details;
There is a firmware update for CD/DVD drive TS-L633A and TS-L633P.
This Firmware solve "Sometime not able to writing on DVD+R media".
The issue happens only DVD+R media, other kind of media have no problem.

  • Satellite C50-A-19T - recovery disks not working

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19T laptop with OS windows 8.1
    Recently my laptop had booting problems so i contacted toshiba support and they told me to get recovery disk from backupmedia.toshiba.eu and i ordered the disk and it arrived today#
    When i enter the recovery disk and boot from the disk drive (ODD) it brings the windows logo then after a minute it goes to a blank screen and i waited and after a while it was still a blank screen
    I had already went into the BIOS to change the settings to boot from the CD but even after that the same problem persists
    Please help

    Hi
    Go to BIOS and disable the option called: secure boot
    Now you should be able to boot from the ODD.
    By the way: please check if the HDD is listed on the first BIOS page (name, size, etc)
    In case the HDD details are not visible, the HDD isnt recognized by BIOS this could be related to HDD malfunction.

  • Recovery disks not working

    I have an HP G60 Notebook PC, Product # NW144UA#ABA
    The computer got a virus and couldnt open Microsoft Office applications so I wanted to restore it to the original factory settings. I created my own set of recovery disks (used 3 DVD-Rs). I started the recovery manager and followed the steps, the first disk worked just fine then popped out and asked for the second. I tried to put in the second disk (correctly labeled from when it was made) and it said the disk is not good, please insert disk #2. I have tried this several times and same thing. Now I can't even get back to the regular computer. When I turn it off or cancel the recovery manager it comes up with a black screen saying BootMGR not working (or something.. cant remember exact words). At one point in trying the recovery manager I got an "error 1002 please contact HP" message. I have tried to keep inserting disk #2 and after 20 times it still wouldnt work. I have tried to call HP customer service and was told I could buy recovery disks, but shouldn't my disks work? Please help!!!

    Hi:
    Sometimes the recovery disks don't work that you make for one reason or another.
    Unfortunately, there are hundreds of posts like yours and unfortunately, very few answers.  I have yet been able to help someone get their recovery disks to work.
    So, I see that you may have two options (only one if you can't read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the bottom of your PC:
    1. Order a set of HP recovery disks and hope they work.
    2. Make your own plain windows vista installation media if you can read your vista product key.
    This will NOT restore your PC to factory condition. It will only install the operating system, and you will need to either have your program installation files and also use whatever downloads and drivers are available from your notebook's support and driver page.

  • Satellite L455-S500 Recovery Disks NOT Working (Windows 7 HP)

    DH bought a Satellit L455-S500 in May of 2010.  It worked well for just over three years.  Then it into a spiral of failing to boot up...virus scans showed issues and nothing was removing them.  The computer would not make a backup copy - so we started the recovery process with the press 0 and release as it booted. 
    The recovery partition had apparently gotten corrupted.  The recovery process failed. 
    Recovery media was ordered from Toshiba and we tried again. 
    Hard drive was wiped and recovery media disk one was placed in the optical drive and the computer went into the installation of a clean copy of the OS.  It asked for the second disk - then gave error code 10-FC12-0241 and said to click [OK] to shut down.  It reboots at that point and gives error code F3-F200-0002 and again says to click [OK] to shut down.  It does NOT reboot at that point.
    I've tried the original hard drive (wiped & formatted) and a new hard drive from the local electronics store.  I've tried removing the memory stick (RAM) from the B slot and I've tried swapping the memory stick from the B slot to the A slot.
    We replaced the laptop after a couple of days as he NEEDED a working one for his job - but he doesn't LIKE Windows 8 (no touch screen on the replacement laptop).  I'm still trying to get this one working again so that he has a spare that he LIKES working with. 
    The error codes show that the most likely issues are with the hard drive or the memory.  But I haven't had any luck with any of my attempts to get it working again, even as a clean install.
    Could it be the recovery disks that have the issue?  Or do I need to try one more time with a brand new, unused hard drive, instead of a working one pulled from another laptop?

    Try reformating the hard drive to one raw partition before using the recovery media. You can use a windows 7 disc to format the drive then remove the disc and start with the recovery media.

  • Recovery disks not working for Satellite L350

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 which I bought some years ago
    Originally it was a vista home premium laptop and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much trouble free .
    However recently something went a bit weird and things just were not working well (it would not always log you out and never seemed to shutdown correctly) and various other applications did not run correctly.
    After a few uninstalls ,reinstalls, scans and Microsoft patches did nothing I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disk.
    I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7 and one again after.
    I still have the windows 7 upgrade dvds so I can apply them after if I had to start back on vista again.
    The only other big change has been a RAM upgrade to 4gb - I still have the original RAM if I need it but before all this there were no hardware issues reported and chkdsk was fine also.
    So to me it was the o/s that was the problem.
    I have now tried all the recovery disks and they all have the same problem reporting that imagex cannot uncompress the second file image as it is corrupt at block 90 I dont have this actual message to hand
    but can update later.
    I cant see that Im doing anything wrong as all i do is put the dvd in the drive and restart the laptop with F12 to boot off the recovery DVD and follow the on screen commands.
    Have you any reports of such of this previously or am I doing something stupid?
    Thanks

    Thats very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation the HDD will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied on second HDD partition and as last step is recovery image installation.
    >I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
    Have you tested both of them in the past?
    Generally speaking all you do is right. In my opinion the problem can be recovery image itself or maybe HDD has some failure on certain sectors.
    If you can obtain second HDD somewhere exchange it, set BIOS to default settings and test recovery installation again.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
    The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
    However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
    the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
    I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
    The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
    What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
    Thanks

    hello
    please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
    In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
    START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
    Sat Pro 4600
    Serial No: 31474181G
    Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
    BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
    The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
    I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
    As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • I have compaq cq50. was VISTA upgraded to WIN 7. Recovery disks not working. BOOTMGR compressed

    will not boot up.  I have 2 recovery disks, the 1 of 2 will take but 2 of 2 disk doesnt run.

    Hi:
    If you are trying to use the Vista recovery disks and they are not working, and you can read your Vista product key on the bottom of your notebook, then you can make your own Vista installation disk by reading the guidance below.
    If you're up to a slight but rewarding challenge you can make your own if you can read your 25 character Vista product key on the PC.
    Just download the 3 files you need at the link below, and read all of the instructions to create a bootable DVD installation disk using imageburn.
    Disregard the part of the text under the first screen shot about "extract the files to the Vista folder."
    The files were already extracted to that folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screen shot.
    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th screen shot, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in myself, and then the other codes automatically populated.
    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message that about a WIM file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.
    I selected No, make the ISO file.
    It was not that hard to do. I burned both the 64 bit disk and the 32 bit disk in case I ever need them.
    I tested both of them an my hp dc7100 CMT desktop PC, they worked perfectly.
    When you enter the product key, it knows what version of Vista you have.
    http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-microsoft-windows-v....
    After you successfully install Vista, you can then install the drivers from your PC's support and driver page.

  • Re: Satellite Pro 40 Synaptic Pointing device not working properly

    Good morning, I have a brand-new Satellite Pro L40 and the Synaptic mousepad has stopped operating.
    When I go to COntrol Panel > Mouse I get a message teling me that the system is "Unable to connect to the Synaptic Pointing Device Driver.
    I haven't installed another mouse, so I have declined uninstalling the driver, another dialogue box informs me that the "Windows (Vista) host process Rundll32 has stoped working", advising me that " a problem caused the oprogram working corectly" and that "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available", the only option is then to Close Program.
    Although the mouse works, on the whole, I have lost the advanced scrolling and tapping features oft he mousepad, a bit disappointing in a Laptop lesst han a month old.
    Any suggestions? The Laptop did nto come with a Vista installation CD, should I have one? Can I re-install the driver? Is it available on the Toshiba website? What and where should I look?
    Many thanks to all and any who might be able to help.
    Toni M.

    OK, so it's probably not usual to answer oneself, and it may well be a sign of madness, but I have found a solution and wanted to share it, as well as prevent anyone wasting precious time replying.
    As I typed the question the old adage "the answer to a question may lie within the question itself" drifted into my small brain.
    It occurred to me that, as the Windows error messages pointed to a Driver problem, the simplest solution might be to search for one and and re-install it; so I found the Downloads > Vista Drivers > Synaptic Pointing Device driver, downladed and installed it, and Hey Presto! Back to scrolling and tapping-up for England!
    Goes to show the wisdom of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, encapsulated in the legend on its cover:
    DON'T PANIC! :^0
    Thanks a million if you took the time to look at this and, if you have a similar problem, take heart, the solution is right here!
    TTFN!

  • Satellite Pro U400-15I - Sound Wheel not working after Windows 7 install

    The sound wheel on my Satellite Pro U400-15l does nothing after the Windows 7 clean install from XP pro.
    I used the recommended Software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - just not under the control of the wheel! Also the Toshiba Power control is not there but this is not a problem.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Bob Sheppard

    Hi Syntax,
    there is no option to add the volume control to the taskbar in the control panel.
    The sound driver is 'Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221'
    Interestingly, when I click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select the mixer option I get 3 sliders called 'Device','Applications' and 'Sound Volume Indicator of Toshiba Control'. If I move this slider with my mouse I get the indicator I am looking for ( The Toshiba indicator I had under XP). However, this slider only works as a 'minimum' for the other sliders.
    Thanks for your help but I still would like that volume indicator back!

  • Satellite Pro A30: CD/DVD drive not working - How to restore OS?

    I want to run the recovery discs to restore my laptop to original condition but the cd/dvd rom is not working.
    Does any one have an idea how I can do this either by connecting my laptop to another pc or is there a programme on the web I can access to do this for me.
    Bacically even after running CCleaner and other programmes the laptop is still running slow and struggling.

    Hi mate
    Im not quite sure if the old Sat Pro A30 is able to boot from USB drive. In such case you could try to install the OS from USB flash stick.

  • Recovery Disks Not Working - Windows 8

    Hi,
    This relates to my G6-2240sa HP Pavilion, bought 14 months ago, preinstalled with Windows 8 (later upgraded to 8.1)
    Just out of curiosity I installed Linux Mint, hoping to dual-boot my system.
    In the process I have wiped out everything on my HD.
    I didn't mind that so much, as a fresh install of Windows 8 would have been welcome.
    But now I find that the recovery disks (4) that I created are not working.
    Whichever of the three options I choose (and I have tried them all) the process grinds to a halt, becoming unresponsive at anything from 7% to a max of 34% on the second disk. Then I am confronted with "The destination Drive is not Connected"
    (I presume it means my hard drive. What on earth had it been doing for three hours,  to suddenly discover that?)
    I have run the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI thorough disk test and it comes up as Long DST: Passed, Memory Quick Test: Passed.
    Started the recovery process from the bios defaults, using the optical drive as the first boot device, which only managed to reach a max of 17% before freezing. Strangely, the better results of 34% came from using a USB external DVD)
    I have been through most of the other posts on here to find a solution, but none of them seem to apply to my specific problem.
    Took it back to PC World, where I was informed that my best bet would be to buy a set of Recovery disks for my Model, Serial number, Product ID, obtainable from the Netherlands at a cost of £42, and I am waiting for them to arrive now.
    Now I'm wondering, at the risk of throwing good money after bad, would it make more sense to buy new Windows 8 software or a different computer?
    Surely having paid for a system that claims to offer security in the form of a recovery procedure, I am entitled that it should work as claimed.
    After more than a week I'm at my wits end as I cannot use any of my programs without a Windows platform.

    Success!
    Although I have to say that with a poplation of over 7 billion I did think that my problem would have attracted more response than just one reply.
    However, my thanks to Indypat for that. You gave me the hope to keep trying.
    I read your solution from your link Pat, removed the SSD (taping the bare connectors, just in case), did all the other things suggested and tried again. Twenty more times! Still no go. 
    Was just surfing the net to find the cheapest OEM to buy, when the mailman (We call them postmen) arrived at last with the recovery disks I had ordered.
    Started the process at 10 am ( I think I had to replace the SSD first to authorize the process) and by 4 pm recovery was complete! So my conclusions are that the recovery disks I made, did not work. Don't ask me why - I made them all according to the instructions - maybe the medium was faulty?
    Now, (and for the foreseeable future as far as I can see) I shall continue updating Windows and reinstalling all my precious programs.
    Still, after two weeks' cast into the outer darkness, at least I have clean Windows.
    I'm glad you got your own problem sorted at last Pat. Like yourself, I am an HP fan. (again)
