Trying to recover my HP dv4-1543sb using the recovery disks and it has failed 3 times. What now?

I'm getting the message
"Recovery Manager could not restore your computer using the factory image. Please contact HP Support. Error code 0xe0ef0003'.

Enter the bios, hold F10 down while powering up, keep holding F10 until the bios loads, in there you will find hard drive and memory diagnostics, run both of the extended tests, post back any error codes.

Satellite L500-19X - Can't use the recovery disk

Well I got this laptop two days ago and used it once after installing fire fox and my mobile broadband drvier's and going back home to boot up and find it was going to happen,
I had tried safe mode (all three) and repair and all I got was a black screen with the cursor up where there should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disk that came along with the laptop) so anyway after finding out I wasnt going to be able to repair it I tried to install but of course that didn't work either so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and worked perfectly fine, then I upgraded (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problems, so I tried again with the original windows 7 that came pre-installed on the laptop's hard drive and all went find untill it starts installing driver's or updates (I'm not 100% sure on this but it is at and/or after the face recognition installation,
Then it shuts it's self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start-up so I do the repair boots back up and still says I need to repair and finds nothing wrong and carrys on in that circle.
Now I have been told that it could be the register or it is a graphics problem, I myself am getting pretty fed up of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.
So if there is anyone who know's what is wrong or what to do or even if it needs to be sent back to be fixed that will be very helpful.
I thank anyone in advance.
Happy new year :)

Hi
Well, I think its really hard to say what the reason is. Maybe the recovery disk is scratchy or the files corrupt there.
At the moment I cant imagine that its a hardware problem because other Windows disk working properly.
In your case I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disk and then see what happens. If it works properly and you can install all drivers & tools you should order a new recovery disk from Toshiba directly.

Using the Recovery Disk

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite Model: A135-S4527. My computer has been crashing randomly, and I am looking to re-install the factory image. However, my DVD drive is broken, and thus, I cannot use the recovery disk directly. I tried to buy an external USB DVD drive, but the recovery disk does not seem to be able to work using the external DVD drive, When I try to re-install with the disk in the external DVD drive, it keeps asking me to insert a disk into the internal DVD drive (D, even though the internal drive does not work anymore. Does anyone know if there's any way I can reinstall the factory image with an external DVD drive, or other method? Thanks for the help!

The Toshiba recovery disk requires the internal CD/DVD drive. There isn't any workaround for that.
Sorry.

GT60 - Can I break RAID0 and then use the Recovery disks?

Is it possible to break the RAID0 and then use the recovery disks from MSI Burn Recovery or a Windows Home Premium Disk with the code from the sticker on my laptop, to install back to factory settings without the RAID0? Just want to make sure before I do something drastic. Thank you.

you can always make an system image of your current windows on an external drive and then experiment with it and if anything breaks, just change bios settings to older ones and recover your older system, everything will be intact like nothing ever happened.

Shutdown the notebook. Tap away at f11 as you start to access Recovery Manager which you can then use to reinstall the Operating System.

Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

Satellite A300-1mz Can I use the recovery disks after a HDD upgrade?

I'm upgrading the hard drive of my *toshiba a300-1mz*, but I'd be sure that I can use the *recovery disks* maked at the first boots for the s.o. (vista)
I expect your support...
thank you very much...

> how can I be sure that the disk is properly recognized before I buy it???
What do you mean exactly? Did you mean the HDD???
The A300 supports and 2.5 SATA HDD and all 2.5 HDD should be recognized properly since the SATA HDD controller hasnt any limitations.

Cannot recover the notebook using the Recovery disk

Hello.
I was wanting to restart my Toshiba Laptop, and I inserted the 'Recovery' CD, and pressed F8 and went to the help menu, and when the list came up I clicked on the one that said about restarting my PC and losing all data, and then I clicked on 'Restart' and the computer restarted and the disc was in but it just came back on as normal.
What do I need to do? I tried all the other options and they all worked as normal.
What do I need to do? Do I have to press something else?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
~Confused~

To be honest after reading your posting I am more confused then you.
Can you please tell us which notebook do you have?
F8 and disc inside the optical disc drive. Sorry but something is wrong there.
Either you can install Vista again using image saved on HDD (F8 option Repair my computer) or use Toshiba recovery installations media. There is no sense to use both at the same time.
Please more info needed.

Equium A210 171 What info do i need before i use the recovery disk?

Hi,
I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, haven't used it before.
On the back of the recovery disk envelope it says "insert the first disk"
I'm assuming there should be a second?
Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
All i have is a black and white sticker that's on the side of the box it came in, but that was so long ago.
I'm having lots of issues with windows installer not running and many others,
Windows updates won't work either and i've tried to fix those but a clean reinstall of the os was recommended.
Now at this point nothing will install because windows installer won't work.
So i think i wil lhave to attempt a clean install, but i'm not even sure the cd drive will work.
I have gotten a great run out of this laptop, bit slow for my needs today but over all great product, bought in 2007.
With a clean os and 4 gigs of ram this thing could last for years more, can't afford a new one right now.
I have really tried to avoid using a recovery disk in the past, as i've never had any serious issues till now.
Thanks

Im wondering why you get such disk together with your notebook why? Because I did not get the recovery disk but I had to create one using the Toshiba Recovery disk creator software
But my notebook is newer than your A210 this might be the reason why you got such disk
I created a recovery disk and I needed two DVD disks I think these depends on the image file size
> Also what info will i need to provide during the install process? like serial number?
This is not needed because your system was already activated.
But I recommend to backup your personal data because the recovery disk would format the whole HDD and you would lose the files.
PS: recommend reading the other threads in the Product recovery forum!

Using Toshiba recovery disks my L505d ES5025 fails the Windows 7 setup

Hello,
My L505 progressively got slower and started having errors. Then Windows wouldn't load regularly, only in safe mode. Then Safe mode would load. I then purchased the recovery disks for my model and started the recovery process. Everything was going smoothly. All three disk were installed, and Windows was doing its things setting up for the first time use. After the fourth or fifth time Windows restarted it froze.
I turned it off with the power switch. Turned it back on and asked if I wanted to start in safe mode or regular. I choose regular. It started and went to the log on screen. The Administrator account was the only one to choose from. I clicked it and it said that account had been deactivated.
I turned it off and back on and went with safe mode. Worked fine. Added another account all looked good. Turned it off turned it back on, went to log on screen choose the new account, then it went to blank desktop and froze.
I have tried the recovery 3 times. Once using the wipe HDD method thinking something might be causing a problem. Nothing worked. Is this a hardware or software problem? What should my next steps be?
Thanks You,
John

It sounds like the recovery process isn't completing successfully, which makes me think it's a hardware problem. The HDD is the most likely to fail, but it's hard to know for sure. If you have another HDD that you could try, I'd try that next.

Blue Checkered Screen after using the Recovery Disks

I have a Compaq Presario SR2034NX XP Media Center computer. I followed the instructions and installed all the recovery disks. The screen then said to remove all disks and that it's going to reboot several times to finish the installation. During this process I got a blue checkered screen. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I took a picture of what the screen looks like and I'm enclosing a link to the picture here.

I run into the same problem with fresh installation of W7 Pro on T530 with 1TB samsung disk.
This solution worked for me:
    Running check for updates will trigger this error message:
“Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer.”
Solution:
1.    Go to Administrative Tools/Services, and stop the Windows Update service.
2.    Then go to the folder c: /Windows/SoftwareDistribution and delete all of the files and folders.
3.    Then go back to Services and restart the Windows Update service which will recreate all of those folders again.
4.    Then manually run the Update Service and everything should work.

I turned auto login off and set a password. It does not work. I tried using the install disc and C key a few times but no success. Now the install disc does not even activate with the C key. Help

I turned ato login off. Set a password. On login it failed. Perhaps I misstyped when setting up. I used the instaldisc to reset the password but after a few attempts It failed. Was it a mistake to select the hard drive after resetting the password. I would like to try the alternative but now the C-key does not even let the install disc open, it goes directly to the name and password screen. I need Help

Keunepete,
When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

Using the default Sysprep and Capture template fails on reboot with BOD UNMOUTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME

On a 2012 r2 server with MDT 2012 I am using the default template to capture a Win 8.1 64 bit master image to deploy to 60 Dell e7440 laptops. When I start the cscript litetouch.wsf thru command prompt, the litetouch wizards starts sysprep starts to
work and when it goes to reboot BOD UNMOUTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME.
The only way around the BOD is to PXE boot to the deployment server and LiteTouch continues to create WIM but fails. Click finish and the laptop boots as if it was the first time so sysprep worked.
Any help is appreciated.

Here is the process prior to rebooting.
