System Recovery disks not installing on new SDD drive

Hi
I have upgraded from the original HDD drive to SDD drive.
I firstly cloned the old drive and installed the image but then windows updates would not work.
Looking at all forums and tried everything I read but updates still didn't work.
Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but Windows end up retsarting continuously after all 3 disks installed .
It is trying to finish off the installation but then gets and error and restarts and just loops over and over.
Is it something to do with the 4 k sectors?
Do I need other drivers?
How do I factory re-install my Windows 7 on the new SSHD drive?
Thanks

> Finally formatted the drive and then used the original system restore disks that work fine on the old hard drive but Windows end up restarting continuously after all 3 disks installed
Usually the Toshiba Recovery disks should install the Toshiba image on the new HDD or SSD drive and the unit should boot properly.
To be honest, Im not quite sure why the notebook keeps restarting after the installation.
But I assume it has something to do with the partitions and partitions sizes.
Fact is that Toshiba recovery disks would format the HDD (or SSD) and would create the same partitions and partitions sizes.
In case the system installation would not function using the Recovery disks, I would recommend you trying to install the system using the Microsoft clean Windows CD. The essential drivers could be downloaded from Toshiba EU driver page.

  • Recovery Disks not installing

    Hello,
    Just replaced the hard drive on my son's HP ENVY M6 to a SSHD but the recovery disks purchased from HP are not working.  They will formate the new hard drive and then when copying files and does not do anything.  Have tried four times and each time it locks up.  The disks are good because they were used once before on the same laptop.  This is his third hard drive.
    Any suggestions.  

    Hi @Shelly4  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY m6 Notebook and it not seeing the  new SSD. Here is a link to troubleshoot recovery issues with a hard drive, that might help. Check the link that states a recovery from CD or DVD.
     I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings.
    Restoring the BIOS should fix the issue as it will force the BIOS to look at the New HDD and does the BIOS see the New HDD.
    Did you change the boot order to reflect the SSD?
    Here is a document on troubleshooting a new Hard Drive installation. It is for a desk top but works the same for Notebooks.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
    I hope this helps.

  • Recovery did not work with new hard drive

    The original Toshiba HD(250G, sata1) of my laptop( ) crashed.
    I bought new one (320G, sata 2, Western digit )
    The problem is that, when I tried to use the recovery CD that I used to use it with old HD before, it did not work with this new HD well!?
    After cd1 and cd2 finish installing it ask to take it out then restart, I do so, but when it comes to setup setting of windows.
    An error message come out says " Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware”
    It restart and says again " Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on theis compuiter, restart the installation."
    I have been trying to solve this a lot, but no way
    I tried what in this link, but it drive me with another problem http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/windows-could-not-complet...
    I hope that I get the right thing to do, from ur forum by this post.
    Thanks a lot

  • Recovery Disk wont work for new Hard drive.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv5-2132dx with windows 7 64-bit. Recently a message started popping up warning that the hard drive might fail and I need to back up my data. I decided to buy a new hard drive. The hard drive a bought is 320GB SATA 7200RPM by western digital. It is the same brand and model as the hard drive currently in the computer. I popped in the new hard drive and inserted the recovery disks I bought from HP. The computer goes through the whole process of istalling the disks. However, on the final setup it shows the welcome screen. Then u hear a beep and then the screen goes black with a message saying that windows could not install and to try installing it again. I have done this 3 times and its always the same thing. Is this a Hard drive issue or a software issue and how can i get this to work?

    Hi,
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    Assuming that this is just a problem with the Recovery process, there is a straight forward work around.
    Create a retail Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image from the link below ( this must be the exact version your notebook came with ) and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Recovery disk failure on a new hard drive?

    Hello all, 
    Since my brother's computer got old and it is time to replace the hard drive to a sold state. So, I created recovery disks and started recovery on the new hard drive. But, the recovery progress stops at 55% for an hour and then it gives an error code "0xe0ef000e" and stops installation. I tried two more times and still the same thing happened.
    So I called the customer support, and the representative is saying that my recovery disks wouldn't work with my new hard drive. Is this really true? 

    Hi bong8,
    According to the list of error codes, 0xe0ef000e translates to "Copying file/directory failed":
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?calledBy=&docId=emr_na-c02018679-2&docLocale=
    This can happen for a variety of reasons; it's not always clear why. It's possible the burning software you used introduced the error; cheap DVDs are also prone to burning issues. You could try re-burning the recovery disks at a lower speed from the old drive.
    Do you have the original operating system DVD the system shipped with? You could use that to reinstall Windows. If not, you can order a recovery kit for your system here:

  • How to install a recovery partition after installing a new Hard drive? and FileVault help.

    Hi,
    I recently swapped out hard drives and when I did a Time Machine backup to the new drive, I noticed there was no Recovery HD partition for my drive. Is there a way to install it back on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011, running 10.7.4)?
    On a slighlty different topic FileVault won't let me encrypt my new HD it says "Some disk formats don’t support the recovery partition required by encryption. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS X on a reformatted disk."
    What formatting does my disk require for FV to be turned on? Currently it is Mac OS Extended (journaled)
    If there is a solution to solve both these issues, or any one issue it would be appreciated.

    The formatting being referred to is actually the presence of the Recovery Disk.
    You can't enable FV2 without a recovery partition being present. The reason is strictly logical: if your entire disk was encrypted, how could you run the unencryption procedure you need to start up? That would itself be hidden behind the encryption. Hence, for FV2 to be able to work, you must have a Recovery disk present.
    When you boot up with FV2 enabled, the login screen you see to enter your password is actually running from the recovery disk (invisible to the user). After you enter your password, recovery boots your encrypted partition and logs you in to your account.

  • Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

  • I'm trying to install a new hard drive on my Touchsmart but the recovery disks won't boot.

    The Touchsmart 300-1120 is only 1.5 years old and it's hard drive is already fried.  I bought a new hard drive, ordered the recovery disks, and it still won't boot.  I've changed the boot order to go from the CD drive first, but all it does is click and then give the same error message it gave when the fired hard drive was in.  I checked the diagnostic, and it can see the new hard drive...it just won't boot. 

    Sometimes they do work - i've done it before.  I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
    Why not just clone your hard drive?  It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
    Unless you're having issues with your old set up or  your old hard drive is dead.
    You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
    Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
    Good luck

  • Can I use HP System Recovery Disks on a new hard drive replacement with a lower storage capacity?

    Can I use the HP System Recovery Disks from my HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertaimnent Notebook PC when I replace the failing hard drive with a smaller storage capacity hard drive?  Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF) and I am planning to replace it with the Toshiba HDKCB26 500GB 2.5 inch Hybrid Hard Drive.  I read that I cannot use a System Image to restore the hard drive because it is a smaller capacity then the original Hard Drive. If this is true, it seems that my only option is to use the HP Recovery Disks.

    Hi:
    Normally the HP recovery disks don't work on a smaller hard drive either, but it may be possible in your case if HP offered a 500 GB HDD in that model series.
    No guarantees though.

  • 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

  • U330 System Image = System recovery disk?

    hi all
    i have created a system image into a portable external harddisk for my U330 laptop.
    once that is done, i was prompted if i want to create a system recovery disk.
    just wondering, do i still need to create a system recovery disk if i have already created an image?
    if i want to recover my system, just plug in the hard disk containing the system image during boot-up, and follow the onwards instructions?
    also, in what ways is this way of recovering different from the one-key recovery by Lenovo?
    pls advise.

    if windows vista installed, run one-key recover 6.0.
    already got backups, skip "back up" otherwise click that.
    select full backup, quick compression and next >
    choose the path or leave it default and next >
    and start.
    after back up ends, restart the application one-key recover 6.0
    click "create recovery disc" and next >
    select the backup you have and next>
    this screen will tell you how much cd or dvd you need, min 2 dvd or 8cd, max 7 dvd or 28 cd. and next>
    insert the blank cds or dvds into driver and wait until done.
    you may need the system image, you can lose your back-up cd, or  cds may not working after a while, so , i still recommend that you keep the original copy or more than one backup.
    size of recovery  cd depens on how much size of disk space you use. its up 2-7 dvd or 4-28 cd.
    after upgrading to win7, have you seen new part of hard disk such as lenovo system and backup files included?
    http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8528/99892440.png
    one-key recover 6.0 doesn't work on win7, at least for me, but you can try.
    i got error when i want to ""an internal program error has occured error code : 0xe0dd001f."
    and for that, i'm still working on and waiting for the solution.

    If you have more than 4 partitions you will need to delete the extra partition/partitions, then convert the hdd back to Basic.
