Hi

If you cannot use it contact Arvato where you have order it, explain the situation and ask if you can get new one. I cannot say for sure what the problem is but I can imagine that recovery disc is “troublemaker”.

What else can be? HDD? I don’t think so.

You got the same error message recovering the notebook from HDD?
Hmm… could it be possible that your HDD is the reason for that?

Check the HDD using an tool like Drive Fitness Test.
Test the HDD if its ok…
If not, the HDD could be the reason for the recovery problems and you should replace it…

Have you ever created own recovery media in the past using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator? The same problem with this disc?

Have you ever started HDD recovery installation in the past or you do it now for the first time? I mean this notebook model is not the newest one and I’m asking myself have you done it before.

hmm.... it's doesn't work..... when i want to start Windows DVD (the DVD works fine on the HP and Dell)
What i get all the time is....

Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the
cause. . .
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe

Status:0xc000000f

Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is
missing or corrupt.

ENTER/ESC

And what now ? Anyone Please...... :(

Microsoft says that the error (File:\windows\ststem32\winload.exe) occurs when of the
Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr) entry is not present in the BCD or the Boot\BCD file on the active partition is damaged or missing.

Try this out:
1)Insert the Vista CD and restart your computer.
2)Boot the notebook using Vista disc.
3)Now choose your language settings, and then click Next.
4)Click Repair your computer.
5)Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
6)On the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair. Startup Repair prompts you to make choices as it tries to fix the problem, and if necessary, it might restart your computer as it makes repairs.

if this does not help, follow with:

  • In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt.
  • Type Bootrec /RebuildBcd, and then press ENTER.
  • If the Bootrec.exe tool runs successfully, it presents you with an installation path of a Windows directory. To add the entry to the BCD store, type Yes. A confirmation message appears that indicates the entry was added successfully.
  • If the Bootrec.exe tool cannot locate any missing Windows installations, you must remove the BCD store, and then you must re-create it. To do this, type the following commands in the order in which they are presented. Press ENTER after each command.
  • Bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
  • ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
  • Bootrec /rebuildbcd
  • Restart the computer.
