Toshiba Recovery Wizard ERROR.

I_Have_Issues · 06-07-2009, 03:51 PM

The error occured when I was using my TOSHIBA
Recovery and Applications/Drivers Satellite® A100/A105 Series disk.

The first disk was successful, and when It told me to put in the second one, I did so, so far so good, but when It was done it says this

"Toshiba Recovery Wizard - error 10E7160017 "Recovery error"

Then I cannot start up the computer.

There can be several causes the most common is a hard drive failure or password protected hard drive, what caused you to do the reformat?

Does the error come up right after the recovery but before reboot? Or does it happen after it reboots? If it happens after a reboot, make sure you removed the disc from the CD/DVD drive and also make sure boot order is set to boot from hard drive.

Wrench97, The reformat was caused because it was just time for me to clean up my computer, Had it for a while, just wanted to remove old files.

TriggerFinger, The error comes up after the recovery, and before the reboot.

I am not sure about this but HDD could be locked. See this:

I suggest you try to UNLOCK, format and reinstall.

I can't get to the run CMD to fix it, When I start it up it says,

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

This is from where I was formatting and got an error.

According to this https://support.microsoft.com/kb/320252 you need to reinstall OS again.

OMG, I have the SAME EXACT problem. I posted the other thread where TriggerFinger replied to. I have the same exact computer, and same exact problem. EXACTLY the same. I get the same error and everything. I would like a solution please.

I_Have_Issues · 06-08-2009, 02:09 PM

Yeah, It happened when I did a recovery format.

Same, my computer was behaving really really bad. I bought my Toshiba Satellite A100 in Christmas of 06. Only had it for about over 2 years. Recovered it successfully about 8 months ago. This time I just wanted to do a clean up because it started behaving bad. I couldn't open some things and, I tried it, and now I'm stuck with this.

Edit: I have tried to recover it about 5 times now I keep getting the same error. Sometimes it goes into the New Computer Welcome Setup even after the error screen, but then It reboots once, and goes into the error or a blank screen.

If you are using XP try to run CHKDSK /R in Recovery Console using an genuine XP install CD. If that does not help, I suggest you do a XP repair install.

This is EXACTLY my problem, I've succesfully recovered it around 4 times, I just try to clean it every once in a while, but this time something wrong happened, Would updating to vista fix this?

I apologize, I realize you use Vista. You may try updating Vista but I suggest you try Vista repair https://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88...all-vista.html

Link above is supposed to be an equivalent of a repair install of XP. It should be non-destructive. Kindly read the article on the link.

**Wrench97** · 06-09-2009, 01:41 PM

I think he's using XP?

**TriggerFinger** · 06-09-2009, 01:48 PM

@wrench, hmmmm.. yeah, I think you are right. Anyhow I hope OP tries a repair install.

I_Have_Issues · 06-16-2009, 07:48 PM

I fixed this issue myself, just Installed a new OS, Linux ubuntu, but it's not as great as XP. Thanks everyone for your help.

**TriggerFinger** · 06-16-2009, 08:46 PM

Thanks for the update. Glad to know you got it working with linux.
