Trying to run the recovery disk on my Satellite A75

When trying to run the recovery disk on my A75 I get a message that it will not run on a non Toshiba machine. It looks like I'm missing some system files.

Hi
Do you use the Recovery disk delivered together with this notebook?
Are you sure youve got the right disk?
The other reasons could be a faulty or missing information in the DMI.
The DMI contains details about the notebook model, series number and other necessary details.
If such information is not correct then the notebook cannot be recognized as a Toshiba unit and therefore the Toshiba recovery procedure would be not possible.

  • Help!! I am in need of the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305.

    Hi all,
    I am needing the recovery disks for a Satellite 2445-S305.  I know this is an old one but still serves its purpose.  I just tried to reload back to factory with my disks but they are in bad shape and not working!  I hope someone can help me out.  I own the laptop and it has the COA for XP home and I have the original disks.  I can offer proof that I am not trying to scam and get the OS for free.  Reason for going back to factory is that when I load XP PRO the device manager show one "unknown device" and I can not solve this.  I have run across this before in the past and found a solution but I do not remember what it took to solve.  Thanks for any help!

  • My HP Pavilion 20 windows 8 desktop won't run the recovery disk

    I bought this recovery disk awhile back and it never worked to recover the computer. You can here the disk spinning inside but nothing apears on the screen. I did a hard disk test and everything came back passing. I tried getting into my UEFI firmware settings to reset the BIOS but everytime i click the option it just gives me a blue screen with the erorr code 0xc000000f so I can't even get in their. 
    This question was solved.

    Then it would appear that the recovery partition is corrupt and the recovery disk you had, where ever you got it from was defective or had no bootable data.
    You would have to order recovery disks from HP if available.
    If you live in the USA/Canada, call this number...  1-800-334-5144.
     If you do not live in the USA/Canada, call the HP business PC support number for the country you live in.

    You may alternately download and create a Windows 8.1 ISO to install.  It will not have the HP software though.

  • Tried to run Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, and now cannot access my external USB disk...

    Greetings all,
    I run the app after downloading it from Apple but it failed with a message that it could not use that drive. From then on, the drive is inaccesible. Disk Utility cannot repair it, it reports "incompatible filesystem". If someone has an idea on this I would be grateful as I have rather important personal and family info on this drive... It is a Lacie external USB drive of 1TB.

    When did the file assistant fail saying it couldn't use the drive? If it's suddenly inaccessible, I can only assume it started the erase process before it failed?
    So you know for future reference, review this link.
    Excerpt from the above link:

    A Mac running OS X Lion with an existing Recovery HD

    How to use Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
    The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant will erase all data on the external drive when creating the Recovery HD. You should either backup your data before running the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, or create a new partition on the external drive.

  • I'm getting a -2003F error when trying to run the internet recovery after installing a new hard disk in my macbook pro, any suggestions?

    After installing a new hard drive in my 2011 macbook pro, I'm getting a apple.com/support -2003F error when trying to run the internet recovery.  Any suggestions?

    Did you format the new HDD?  What is the status of the old HDD?
    Do you have an early or late 2011 MBP?
    Ciao.

  • 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

  • Vista has left the building...and the Recovery Disks do not work correctly.

    I've spent over a month and a half trying to fix my non-booting Satellite A215-S5818 running Vista.  Sometime mid-March (ah, the Ides of March!) I think I downloaded an automatic update and I remember the next time it booted my desktop was black; icons but no background picture.  Then I noticed on the bottom right it was saying my copy of Vista was not genuine.  I know that it is, because it is pre-installed.  So I ran check disk from the Properties page of C: in Windows Explorer. After it ran, I got BSOD.  At first I just booted into SafeMode and tried to disable whatever hardware/uninstall whatever software was causing the problem.  I think I got it to boot in SafeMode once or twice, then no more.  For a while I kept getting IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL, but I somehow stopped that through the command prompt(forum advice?).  Startup Repair could not fix it,  System Restore would not work on ANY restore points, even before March. The new BSOD error was:
    "STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}-
    The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000221 0x00100594)"
    From then on I could only get a command prompt through the Repair Console.  So I xcopy-ed my Users directory to an external hard drive and grudgingly booted from the Toshiba CD, knowing it would obliterate everything, but I was desperate.  I got the 03-EEEE-0000 error.  Now I have a plethora of useless(?) CDs and DVDs I have burned ISO images on of any Freeware I thought could fix it, downloaded from the Internet using my husband's Windows 7 desktop computer.  I followed these instructions to the letter and it worked (I guess; it started immediately, no DOS objection), but when it rebooted I got a window (!) saying something about the type of hardware.  I haven't added or changed any hardware, but I have updated the BIOS recently.  So I clicked OK (no other choice), and now every boot up I get a window saying "Windows could not complete the installation.  To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".  Startup Repair does not find any problems.  Could it be the BIOS?  I have re-flashed it twice, no difference.

    Oops! Sorry that was stupid on my part.
    From the command prompt you could type in   systeminfo   , and hit the 'Enter' key, it will take a little while to run, when it finishes, scroll back up to the top and you'll see OS Version and Service Pack you've got loaded. But, if you're booting off the recovery disk, that's the system info you'll get.
    If you can't get to the command prompt from the Advanced Boot Options menu, by trying to boot off the hard drive, and pressing F8, I'm not sure how you can find what Service Pack you have loaded.
    By using the Recovery Boot Disk, have you exhausted all the recovery options that Jerry linked before?

  • Satellite U205-S5034 - Error when trying to create the recovery discs

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having trouble with The TOSHIBA Recovery Disk Creator. When trying to create the recovery discs this error comes up:
    An unexpected error occurred. Please quit this application and restart it. (Error Code: 0F00FE-F1-00000002)
    The machine is a Satellite U205-S5034 running XP Pro SP3.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.

    Hi
    What kind of DVDs you are using for creating a Toshiba recovery disc? As yet I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. Friend of tried DVD+R and he couldnt create a recovery disc. After that he tried DVD-R and all was fine but I dont know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.
    Furthermore check the Toshiba page for a firmware update of CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

  • 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!

  • Satellite A60-218 - Where to download the recovery disk?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite S60. It is a job computer and it is actually not mine but as I work with and I want it to be faster.
    Someone on the past formated it with a F@kE Windows XP installation disk and all the drivers got lost. Not just the wireless card but also sound and graphics card.
    I found after a lot of searching the sound driver. The main problem is that it is not genuine cpoy of windows and it is very slow because of trojan, etc.
    I beleive the fastest way to fix it is to recover the factory settings (all CDs are lost). Only I could not find in the website the S60 satellite. Is there a recovery iso image to download?
    Can anyone help me? I am really desperate...

    Hi
    Im not sure if you would be able to order the Recovery disk for this Sat A60 notebook.
    Its a older series and I believe that the Recovery disk are not more available for this model. But of course you should get in contact with the local ASP to get more details
    Maybe they have some disk on stock.
    However, the WIN XP drivers can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
    Because the A60 is an older notebook, the drivers have been moved to the Archive area!
    Check archive and you would find all XP drivers.
    PS: You should use a original Win XP disk ;) the copy are not legal and you could not run any necessary updates which are really important to get rid of the Win XP bugs.
    Cheers

  • 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.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro A200 - New ODD ignors the Recovery disk

    Hi,
    _Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E Windows XP_
    I started getting bad “Not-Ready” system errors on the original ODD. Toshiba Disc Creator report: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H TO01. I tried the FW update, but that did not help.
    I replaced the ODD with a new one from Amazon. Toshiba Disc Creator report: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H SC04. The new ODD is listed as suitable in the User Manual - it’s the same model as the original. The new ODD works perfectly for normal use within XP. But when I attempt to use the Recovery Disk, it is ignored and XP always boots from the HDD. And when I press F12 during boot, the new ODD is not listed.
    Can you assist me to get the ODD recognised at boot time please?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Thank you for your replies.
    To be exact, I see the following at boot time:
    F12 shows only HD and LAN boot options.
    F2 shows the usual 4 options, HD, ODD, Floppy and LAN.
    But since I have no floppy either, I suspect the F12 list is the correct one - and it fails to show an ODD option.
    @C3PO
    Yes, Ive tried all those ideas, and I have the latest A200 BIOS.
    @Akuma
    So it is insufficient to have the correct model number? It should be explained somewhere that even if you have the correct ODD model, it may still not work.
    Please can you give me a link to Toshiba, so that I can obtain a suitable ODD. I'm in England.
    Thanks for your swift assistance.
    Mike

  • 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.
