Where is the backup stored? Most OEM backups of the OS write to a partition on the hard drive, if you did a recovery with the DVD it may have overwritten the recovery partition, hence why the option is not available.

Not thinking it is the bios, as if that were bad, the computer would not work. It is possible that the program (or programs) you are trying to open are not linux compatable. If that is the case, you will have to re-load a compatable operating system.

Sounds like its trying to boot from the Optical drive (cd/dvd drive) thats empty or has no disc in it. You will need to get into the BIOS and change the boot sequence. Select HDDR 1st to boot from your C: drive where your OS is.

Iv up graided to 8.1 from Windows 7 on my asus laptop and now I cant restore or recover Windows software package

If you upgraded by an ISO file, using the whole HDD, then you mighted delete the D2D partition which contains the recovery. If you have upgraded using the Microsoft website, the recovery aprtition should still be in the HDD.

Problem installing Vista SP1 on Asus G2s

If you tried to install Vista on the Primary drive and formatted the primary HDD your Factory Recovery Partition , most likely has been written over, it's gone. Choose one or the other , Vista or Win 7, start from the beginning, install a clean Vista load, formatting in the installation procedure, form a Vista Installation DVD, follow instructions, boot up, do ALL the Vista Updates, it will take hours of updates, rebooting, updates, rebooting. You will get to the Service Pack's 1 and 2, in 24 hours or so. Put on a pot of coffee and be patience. If you prefer Windows 7 use the same procedure.

What hard drive do i need for toshiba L300

Hi,

Welcome to FixYa!

Are you trying to replace the hard drive of your laptop?

If yes, According to the notebook specification you need SATA HDD and it can be upgraded up to 500 GB.

HDD is placed at the bottom side under HDD cover. HDD cover is secured with two screws. Remove the screws and then HDD cover. Please do this gently. After doing this, remove the HDD pack by pulling on the tab attached to the pack, following the direction of the arrows. Please refer to the service manual if you are having a problem replacing the hard drive.

After you replace the Hard Drive, use the recovery DVD to install the operating system.

Hope that helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

My asus f5rl keeps coming up with boot error 0xc000000f when turned on. How can i restore it please?

Before going any further, please help to confirm the following three points:


1. Does any other error message appear when starting the computer?

2. Did the computer start properly before?

3. Have any changes been made on the computer recently, such as an installation or upgrade?


The issue can be caused by many factors, such as incorrect BCD entries and incompatible hardware or software.


Based on the current situation, I suggest trying the following methods to troubleshoot the issue.


Method 1: Startup Repair from the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)

===============================================================

1. Insert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ..." appears.

3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.

4. Click Repair your computer.

5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next.

6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on Repair your computer.

7. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

8. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Startup Repair.


Can the computer be started now?


If the issue persists, I would like to confirm if System Restore was enabled before.


If so, we can try to restore the system to a state when your computer worked properly in WinRE.


Method 2: Use the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to run System Restore

=======================================================================

1. Instert the Windows Vista installation disc into the disc drive, and then start the computer.

2. Press a key when the message indicating "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ...". appears.

3. Select a language, a time and currency, and a keyboard or input method, and then click Next.

4. Click Repair your computer.

5. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, choose the drive of your Windows installation and click Next

6. At the System Recovery Options Dialog Box, click on System Restore.

7. Follow the System Restore Wizard instruction as usual and choose the appropriate restore point.

8. Click Finish to restore the system.
