Windows will not boot. Recovery media not working. Satellite L675D-S7052

I am using a Satellite L675D-S7052 with Windows 7. When the laptop is powered on, it will only run to the Windows loading screen (windows logo on screen) and will stop. The logo remains animated but it will not load any further.
I attempted to reset to factory settings using the recovery partition. It will run through "Windows is loading files" to completion, but it will then go to a blank screen with only the mouse cursor showing.
Finally, I attempted to recover from recovery DVD's I made previously. It loaded through the same screens as the recovery partition, halting again on the blank screen with the mouse cursor.
I backed up all important files on an external hard drive already. I was able to successfully boot an Ubuntu 12.04.2 live disk and it ran correctly. I can access the files on the hard drive for back-up from Ubuntu. I have not altered anything.
That's as far as I can go on attempting to fix this. If anyone can help me find my next step, please advise.

Hi! Sense you're not getting any replies, I will offer my opinion. Sense you can boot Ubuntu OS and it runs correctly,what else could be the problem but bad software?? You tried the recovery partition and the recovery DVD's and they reacted the same?? It's good that you can recover your important files. The recovery options are great, but a back up image on a external USB is your best protection. I just don't understand why people don't create a back up image of their OS. It's so simple!! When did you create your recovery DVD's?? Sense both recovery options act the same, I suspect corruption. That's the only thing that makes sense to me??
Dokie!

My HP Pavilion zv6000 will not boot/recovery

My HP Pavilion zv6000 will not boot/recovery need help

Disconnect the AC Adapter and Battery from the unit. Hold the Power button down for about 15 seconds. Then without the battery being connected, plug in only the AC Adapter on the unit and check if this powers on the unit. You can also try to reseat the RAM on the unit. You can find the removal procedures on the Service and Maintance guide on www.hp.com for your model notebook. In case the notebook does not work after these steps, it could possibly be a hardware issue on the unit.

System Recovery Media not supported by computer

My computer won't boot off of internal hard drive. I can boot off of recovery DVD that I made when I got the machine, but after booting into some sort of recovery/safe mode (windows logo comes up) , a message appears that says "recovery media not supported by this computer". I think the hard drive may be done, I was going to get a cheap SATA drive and replace the original.

Hello @gus12345,
I understand that you are getting an error that says "recovery media not supported by this computer". I suspect it is your recovery discs that are the issue for this error. That is not to say that your harddrive is not at fault, but the immediate error is related to your discs. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive, which will provide you with the various ways of getting a new copy of your recovery discs.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Recovery media not working for Satellite L455 S5000 , windows 7 -64bit

Guys, My Satellite L455 crashed the drive. I ordered the kit from TOSHIBA to do a factory reinstall. The instructions says: Hold "C"key while bringing computer up. I tried it several times but nothing happened. I tried to boot from the DVD drive but it din't work at all. How may I do to restore my PC using the recovery media with a new drive ? Remembering it's Satellite L455 -S5000 , windows 7 , 64 bit. Thanks in advance. Joelson

Thanks for the replies.
The HDD is completely broken. The recovery partition gone too.
About the F12, I tried it.
Choosing the DVD drive to boot using the recovery disc #1 inside nothing happens.
The DVD drive starts, first acess to DVD media happens but nothing appear in the screen. Few seconds after the system try to boot from the new HDD that is empty.
My objective is reconstruct the windows in the new HDD bringing back the HD to it's original structure ( without any data ) like a new one.
Remembering that old drive and new one have the same size ( just the brand is different , new one is SAMSUNG SATA ) . Old one was TOSHIBA .
Any insight is welcomed.
Thanks a lot.

Toshiba Satellite Laptop - Will Not Boot, Safe Mode Not Accessible

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
I am trying to help my mother-in-law (I know, who does that!?) with her laptop. Because of the boot problems, I can only offer you limited info on the specs, but here is what I do know.
Toshiba Satellite
Model Number PSAE6C-TJ908C
2 Gig RAM (assuming DDR2)
HDD is a Toshiba MK2035GSS 200Gig
OS Windows Vista
Bios Version 2.60
Problem:
First it would boot ok in one user account, but when booted in secondary account it would act odd, ie caps lock stayed on when not pressed, etc. Deleted secondary account, ran Windows repair function, now I cannot access the primary account, will not boot in safe mode, can not change boot sequence in setup to boot from cd or run restore disc. I have to use an external keyboard as the laptop keyboards enter key and "a" keys do not work. (New keyboard which was replaced in December, warranty has since run out, thank you Staples.)
Any and all help greatly appreciated. I'll answer any other questions you have as they come up, I realize I may have left out some key details.
I forgot to add a couple of details. When booting, it hangs at the Toshiba screen prompting for either F2 for setup or F12 for boot device selection, when you reach the log in screen it gives a number of odd sounding beeps (3 I believe), the Filter Keys box comes up, and when you try to enter the login password it will not recognize it.

That's one sick laptop. If the thing beeps on startup and even the keyboard doesn't work, I'd figure on replacing it.
Are there important files you need to rescue?

Macbook Pro will not boot up normally ***Not Normal Problems***

Ok. I have an older 17" Macbook pro 2.33 (10.6 fully updated) that will not boot up in normal mode. When I boot it shows "blocks" of different colors and will not get past the blue screen sometimes. When it does get passed the the blue or grey screen it is a split screen of white back ground with large black blocks seperating the sides. I have tried swapping out harddrives with a known working one with an OSX image on it-no good. I have tried swapping out ram-same thing. I reset the SMC and PRAM-only colors changed in the blocks. I have ran disk utilites disk and permisions with no problems. I can't boot into a restore disk using the c key during boot, It locks up at the same screen. Nothing works except safe mode. I can boot into safe mode and everything works just fine with normal screen and all. Now I tried runing the Lion installer thinking it is and driver issue but I can't get Lion to boot to the hard drive and Snow leopard just reboots back to the same screen. So how can I get Lion to install or Snow Leopard?
What can I do? I noticed this last weekend when I tried to reboot my MB Pro and it started this. Well Apple pushed and update last friday - I needed to restart it again and this happends. I thought it was a logic board at fist until it booted fine in safe mode.

Sorry. What I mean is I selected the SL boot up in the start up panel and it would not boot into the cd. The CD rom sounds like it just keeps reading with it slowly loading from grey screen to blue screen to the Block screen. Almost like it is booting into normal mode from the hard drive.
What I can't understand is why it runs fine is Safe mode?
Also why do I get a " this disk cannot be used to start up your computer" message on my hard drive when trying to install Lion in safe mode? Well why not it's the only hard drive in the computer?
The first screen shot is the Tech tool showing everything passed the hardware test is safe mode.

Lenovo Recovery Media not showing recovery media

My T430 has an issue with creating Product Recovery discs. It doesn't give me any options for recovery media. The drop down meny is totally empty. Clicking "update" does nothing. I have updated the software, and rebooted several times, no success. I have a portable USB drive, which I'm going to use as a recovery media.
The issue is the same with Lenovo Solution Center and ThinkVantage Tools.
Any ideas what might cause this problem?
Thank you and regards,
-Gary
Solved!
Go to Solution.

definitely create the recovery media on dvds. then you should be able to recreate the factory-delivered os onto whatever drive, hdd or ssd, compatible/installable with your laptop.
how you make a backup, and what's included in it, can be accomplished by any number of applications, including Windows' own internal utility. what you choose is largely a matter of personal preference.
regards.

Recovery media not available in my country

Hi,
I just bought a Satellite A665-S5170 notebook in us. I need a recovery disk, but I live in Brazil.
Is there a way that I can get it?
Thanks.

Satellite A665-S5170
If you check pages 61 to 77 of your Satellite A660 Series User Guide it will explain the recovery process. However, click on 'Start' and then type in recovery and click on Recovery Media Creator, you should be able to make your own set of recovery DVDs, you'll probably need at least 3 DVDs. You can run the Toshiba recovery utility from the hard drive by pressing and holding down the '0' (zero) key while you power on the unit, until you see the Toshiba Recovery menu.
However, if you have deleted or corrupted your recovery partition you can get the information about ordering them here. While Brazil is not technically on this list, I would be very surprised if they wouldn't arrange shipment to you.

IPhone 4s does not boot and seems not to charge

My iPhone 4S has been charging for 20 hours now (with red bar in the battery on the display), but it will not boot. Also pressing home+hold for 10 seconds (while connected to power) or more does not make it boot.
I have the impression that something is wrong with the part that measures the battery level, since (when it still worked) I sometimes had battery levels dropping to 1% very early after charging, but with the phone still working for over 10 hours after that (so the actual battery charge was much higher than displayed). This problem disappeared and reappeared every now and then. Until now however, I was always able to reboot my phone after a bit of charging - but this seems no longer possible. Recommendations are welcome....

However i can't check settings because the display does not respond, i tried to use three fingers, but nothing happens. It can receive phone calls and notifications, but the display still is not responding so i can't answer phone calls. But now the Led is off.

Hey, I am using Macbook Leopard 10.5, Yesterday while i was working it was on low battery i thought to connect it later, but all of a suddent its stopped fucntioning and everything goes blank.

Can I get BOOTABLE recovery media for my satellite l650?

Headache Introduction: I'm an IT professional with moderate support and system build experience. I bought a Toshiba laptop 6 weeks ago that is suddenly VERY messed up. I start it up, the "starting windows" screen appears, hangs, then reboots. Upon reboot, it tries to enter system recovery, which merely leads to a black screen with a cursor and no options (waiting doesn't make them appear either). Windows won't completely load, safe mode won't load, system recovery hangs, and holding down "0" to get to the boot partition still results in the machine trying to load windows, then it hangs, etc., wash, rinse, repeat...
OS Reinstallation seems necessary here, but what with Toshiba's AWESOME decision to no longer include bootable recovery media with their products, it seems I'm stuck with a 6 week old, $550 paper weight. I followed the instructions to make recovery DVDs (5 of them), but they don't seem to be bootable (even when i set my BIOS to boot from optical, it still eventually goes to "starting windows", hangs, etc.).
Toshiba wants me to send the laptop back for repair, which will take a month, and likely be necessary again X months from now when the machine inevitably hits a similar roadblock. I'm a fairly knowledgable nerd, and the prospect of being tethered to Toshiba anytime things get rocky is frankly unacceptable. Simply put, I WANT MY BOOTABLE OS INSTALLATION MEDIA! This is ESSENTIAL to repairing a truly troubled machine. It's like they sold me a car, locked the hood shut, and now I have to ship it back to the factory for an oil change...
My question: Should my self-made recovery discs even be bootable? Is the recovery media sold on this site bootable (I ordered them anyway...)? Must I buy a SECOND copy of Windows 7 to get a bootable recovery option? I WANT MY BOOTABLE MEDIA BAAACK!!! (Sorry for shouting.)
Help?

1 Shut down and turn off your computer.
2 Do one of the following:
If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery
DVD into your optical disc drive.
If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive, connect the
USB flash drive to your computer.
3 Turn on your computer. When the initial screen displays, press
F12.
The boot menu displays.
4 Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option or the USB Flash
option, depending on which type of media you are using, and
then press Enter.
5 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is
executed all data on your internal storage drive will be deleted
and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.
6 When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the Selecting a
Process screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default
Software and then click Next.
7 Select one of the following options:
Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery
method)—If you want to recover the original factory
image
Recover without changing the hard drive partitions—
If you want to recover the C: partition only, leaving other
partitions you have created intact
Recover to a custom size partition—If you want to
recover the C: drive to its out-of-box state and specify a
custom size for the C: drive. Note: This option deletes all
other partitions from the drive.
8 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery
process.
When the process is complete, a message displays indicating
that the drive has been recovered.
9 Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer.

How can I get a 64 bit recovery media for a Satellite L455D-S5976

This machine came with a 32 bit processor along with a 32 bit operating system. Not long ago I upgraded the processor to a dual core AMD Turion 64x. I created recovery media, but it is a 32 bit version. I have an upgrade win 7 that I believe will do the trick but I would rather do it with the Toshiba recovery media. Anyone have a possible solution.

Recovery Media not Working after Hard Drive Replacement

I have replaced the hard drive in my dad's Sat C655-S5225. When I run the recovery disk I get an 03-FFFF-0000 error. Please help!

The error seems to be a hardware check failure. I don't really understand why Toshiba ever added this check, as it has been problematic for awhile now. The two most common reasons are updating the bios and replacing the hard drive. The only work around I have seen, is to obtain a Windows Media from a third party and manually install your drivers. Message me if you need to obtain a Windows installation media, Make sure you have a product key, I won't need this and you shouldn't share it with anyone.

Windows will not boot. Recovery media not working. Satellite L675D-S7052
