Oct 29, 2007I bought a laptop and burned 4 recovery CDs for recovery purpose. Instead of burning as disc images, I just copied and pasted these 4 CDs to my USB HDD as 4 folders called "RecoveryCD 1", "RecoveryCD 2", "RecoveryCD 3" and "RecoveryCD 4". Now my laptop got problem and I lost my 4 recovery CDs. All I have now is 4 recovery folders in my USB HDD. I burned another 4 CDs as data disc from my USB HDD, but it didn't work out (it didn't boot because they are just data discs). I again burned my first recovery CD as a bootable CD, and it booted but didn't automatically install XP, drivers and other softwares. It just appeared some sentences on a black screen and cursor is waiting for me to type after the text, "A:>".

Unbootable Hard Drive: Data Recovery?
Jan 27, 2006The other day my computer crashed during log off. When I turned it on again, i ended up with a blue screen saying 'unbootable boot volume' . I guess at this point i should have sent it to a technician!...anyway i found a number of forum posts with the same problem and followed the instructions to do 'chkdsk' from MS DOS. This looked to be doing stuff.... but now... instead of a blue screen I get nothing...the screen just goes blank!

Jun 3, 2008My friend's computer seized up in the middle of the boot. Tried recovery, but it isn't able to go forward. The hard drive seemed to be spinning tho, so chances were good we could recover the data. I removed the hard drive and copied everything to a back-up external drive using my own computer. Replaced the hard drive in the disabled computer. Question is how do I install Windows XP? The recovery files on the hard drive are not accessible, I assume, so we can't use those - right? We misplaced the disks that came with the computer, so I'm buying a new copy of Windows XP.

Moved Hard Drive And Cannot Boot - Accessible From Recovery Console
Dec 23, 2006I have two laptops, a ThinkPad T30 and a Latitude C840 (they are both working with XP SP2, except the T30 doesn't have a screen). I'd like to move the T30's drive into the C840, but when I do this, the C840 will hang right after the BIOS screen (incl. the XP CD's Press a key to boot off the CD if I tell it to boot from the disc drive first). My first thought was to try Recovery Console from the XP CD. I can log into the install, and I've already tried fixmbring and fixbooting it. This doesn't help.
This leaves the option of the drivers not being right. I installed the C840 chipset drivers, nothing. I'd really rather not go on a wild goose chase trying to figure out what'll get things up and running

Jan 8, 2006My hard drive crashed beyond salvage. I bought a new hard drive, installed it and used my recovery disks to get the basics back. It is a Sony Vaio laptop (PCG-Gr390, to be specific). It has Windows XP, pre SP1/SP2. When I installed it, I went through the formatting process and formatted it for the first time, being that it's a new HD. Everything worked as expected, but I have yet to update anything because I can not successfully connect to the Internet.
All efforts to create a connection were unsuccessful.Next to my laptop is a slow Dell desktop, runnung a fully updated XP operating system. Using the same cable modem, connection to the Internet was fine with the desktop for both wired and wireless, but not the newly formatted laptop. My ethernet jack and wireless card on the laptop are working (according to the device manager).
Error, Probably Hard Drive Error, Recovery Disc Not Working
Oct 29, 2006I uninstalled some preloaded Windows programs, I reinstalled some of them, but now my laptop's all funny. When I connect to The Internet, any program that I open freezes for like 10 minutes, after which it unfreezes. During this time I normally restart my computer, with no success. If I open Windows Live Messenger and Internet Explorer 7 together it freezes normally. Pinball, WordPad, Sound Recorder, and Volume Control cannot be restored. Also, I tried using my Toshiba Recovery DVD, with no success. It says Loading RAMDISK Image, then it reboots and loads the exact same system with no changes made.

Then using the master slave way can I transfer the xp operating system and all her files and data from the old hard drive to the new one.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecovery From Invasion By Hard Core Porn And Virus
May 3, 2010Hello, I have not had use of my main computer for about two weeks. I would preface this with the fact I am not proficient with computers as so many programs assume one is and I am 76 years old, a retired educator with advanced work, but at this point I am exasperated to say the least.
I had my computer on working when suddenly things went sorta crazy giving me the impression what I was attempting to get off my computer was an invasion of hard core porn, a virus, and a security program I had never heard of. My screen went black and could not be rebooted at all. I came to this spot, got a little advice, but it did not solve my problem. I found a program I thought would help, paid for the extras, but found it was not as indicated. It said it had help 24/7 (not) and expects one to know computers to use it. It says they have a "WE fix it for you" portion. How that works I have not figured out yet. The phone numbers given are not for service but are for some group this program is published thru I think. After a lot of By guess and By gosh I did manage to get to a home page that showed icons that gave me the interpretation of their pictures and names were as I suspected exactly. I finally got the program for security to desist. The screen disappeared to precipitate my efforts to use the PowerSuite 2010 (their help is by internet), CA Suite 2008 which I had paid to update to current time, My XP disc that wanted to doubt I owned and requested I put Windows 98 in to prove it and then it was on a merry-go-round asking me to insert the previous disc in whichever one it was. It has said XP was not right I am sure because the computer came with Windows XP Media which I had updated

Oct 18, 2009I recently helped someone save the documents off of their computer after it crashed (it was missing a Windows file. I tried the repair command and it wouldn't work, so I decided to save the files and reformat the hard drive).I plugged the hard drive into a working computer and pulled all the documents off of it (VERY slowly) onto an external hard drive.
Every once in awhile I wouldn't be able to pull a picture or document off because of a cyclic redundancy check error. I just moved on and saved what I could. I assumed it was because the hard drive was already bad so I just moved what I could.
Repair Function In Recovery Console / Hard Drives Do Not Show Up
Jul 28, 2009This is an older Dell Dimension desktop pc. It is running a RAID configuration with 2 drives. When I try to do the repair function in the recovery console, the hard drives do not show up in the MAP commmand. Also they are not listed in the Windows setup. However, they do show up in the BIOS, but not available in the boot sequence.I am not that familiar with RAID, are the drives fried or is the system not able to recognize b/c of the RAID?
