Hi Cab

 

Welcome to FPCH

 

Do you have the XP disk to hand?

[caburden]

xp

 

no i can't find the disc

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Pity

 

Is it possible you could perhaps borrow a copy from a friend at all as you will need one to repair the system.

[caburden]

can you buy one from a shop?

[Guest Wolfeymole]

Well if that is what you want to do Cab then fine.

How old is the laptop. More than likely it did not come with the Windows XP CD it probably has a built-in Repair partition.

 

If the laptop is 3 years or newer you may want to contact Toshiba for assistance.

 

Otherwise you will need access to an external drive potentially to backup your data before attempting a repair. If you have access to another computer that has Internet access and a CD/DVD burner then we might be able to help you get some software to attempt to repair it.

Hi

 

What is the make and model of your laptop?

[caburden]

it is a toshiba.model name equium a110-233

[maynardvdm]

Did you recieve a recovery disk with the laptop?

[caburden]

no i did'nt

[maynardvdm]

AdvancedSetup will need to tell you how to create a boot disk. I am not sure which one he was referring to. Just be patient and we will get you through this problem.

[maynardvdm]

Hi

 

You can try and create the Ultimate Boot CD. Here is the link:

Ultimate Boot CD

 

Tell us if you get stuck anywhere.

[AdvancedSetup]

That's a lot of work for a home user. I was looking for the Microsoft one that I had but I can't find the information for it.

 

Will check some other locations and see what I can find.

Hi AS. Are you looking for the direct download link for the Recovery Console ISO that we have used before?

[AdvancedSetup]

No - they could try that but It failed for me on a couple computers so not too keen on it. I'm looking for the Microsoft ERD one.

[AdvancedSetup]

Wrong name but found it.

 

Here it is. Download this and extract the files on another computer. Then locate the .ISO file and burn it to a CD

Don't just burn it as a data file. You need to do an OPEN and browse to the ISO image and then burn it to the CD which will make a bootable recovery CD

Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset

i downloaded it but it says i need to have a computer with windows 2000 or windows xp or 2003 server my other computer is window's vista Edited May 23, 2008 by caburden

[AdvancedSetup]

You just need to extract the .ISO file from the program.

Download this program to enable you to extract the .iso image within the program.

 

Universal Extractor

You will need the beta version uniextract16beta.exe download

 

Update the innounp.exe inside the UniExtract\bin\ directory with the one in this file: test020.rar

 

If you need a RAR extractor you can get that here: RAR Labs WinRAR 3.71 download

 

Install WinRAR then open the test020.rar file that you downloaded above. Then extract the file to the UniExtract\bin\ directory.

 

Then launch Univeral Extractor and open the downloaded Microsoft file and extract the .ISO image from it.

Then using CD/DVD burning software you need to open and burn the ISO image.

 

If you don't already have CD/DVD burning software here is a good free version ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application
