Hi laptop error 203 when making recovery disc 2 using packard bell recovery management. the disc is OK & tried restart and doing it all again disc 1 burns ok. what's the answer please

You are going to have to use the restore/recovery process to get past this. The virus corrupted a major file and now it wont boot. I hope you made backups.

This document pertains to HP and Compaq desktop PCs that came with Windows 7.The following error opens when attempting to start the PC:BOOTMGR is missingPress CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart the PCIf you recently installed an additional hard drive, turn off the computer and remove the drive before using the following steps:

1. Open HP System Recovery:CAUTION:Do not perform a system recovery! Stop at the first recovery screen.
   • Press the F11 key repeatedly while the computer is starting.
   • If you have a recovery disc, turn on the PC and insert the first recovery disc into the drive. Use the disc to enter the system recovery.
2. Select Microsoft Startup Repair tool and wait for repair to find and fix errors. When finished, restart the computer; even if the startup repair tool finds errors but cannot fix them.
3. If the error message persists, open the recovery manager screen as was done in step 1.
4. At the recovery manager screen, press ALT + D.
5. Enter the following text at the command prompt: bootrec /rebuildbcd
6. If bootrec displays "Add installation to boot list?", press y .After bootrec completes successfully, the computer displays "The operation completed successfully".
7. To close the command prompt, enter the following text: exit
8. At the Recovery Manager screen, select Microsoft Startup Repair tool (again) and wait for startup repair to find and fix errors. When finished, restart the computer.
9. The error should no longer open. If it does, perform a system recovery, making sure to backup important files.

If you removed a hard drive before using these steps, replace the drive. If the error occurs again, make sure the additional hard drive is not set as an active drive. Only the main bootable drive should be set as active.

hi
there is two ways to do it.

Laptop Recovery Instructions
If you cant boot into windows

1. Power on the machine
2. At the white ACER BIOS screen, hold the "Alt" key and press the "F10" key
simultaneously to start Acer eRecovery
3. Once eRecovery has loaded, click "Restore to Factory Default Settings"
4. Click "OK" to continue
5. From here, the eRecovery process will update all the data on the C: drive
and restore a fully functional factory image (approximately 10 minutes).
6. Once eRecovery has run, press "OK" to reboot unit

If you can boot into windows

Click "START"
All Programs
Acer/ Packard Bell/ E-machine recovery
Select "Recovery management"
Click "Restore"
Click "Fully restore to factory default"
NB: This process takes about 15 to 20 min

You need an OS disc or the recovery disc to fix the bootmgr error. Fixing that error require accessing recovery console which came with the OS disc or recovery disc of your computer. The only solution is to get an OS disc or recovery disc.

There is an issue withe Gateway/Acer Recovery management that originaly came with Vista http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.gateway.com%2Fs%2Fissues%2F260121793.shtml&ei=-rRuUvjJB6Op2QWL-oDwBA&usg=AFQjCNFZVoKUSHCT51xHWAR6kpXwvFP9gw&sig2=NTGSgzIeXdfaVmcJdzzZPw&bvm=bv.55123115,d.b2I&cad=rja

Hi

When you hit the power key also hit the F11 key keep pressing it until you get into the
recovery box

then follow on screen instructions

please back up all you files or pictures ist onto a disc or pendrive
because if you take it back to factory settings you will loose everything that you have put onto the
laptop but the bonus is that you will have a nice clean hoopefully sweet running laptop

good luck

You have formatted the hard drive (containing Boot Manager) using recovery disk 1.
That's why the error message.

Just insert disk 1 again.
Shut down the computer (press & hold the power button for a minute).
Restart.

Follow the instructions that come up.

If it doesn't help, reseat the hard drive. (open the back cover, take out hard drive, reconnect it)
Also you may go to BIOS (tap F1 while booting) and set the cd-drive as the first boot device.

Hope it helps.

If the computer is still under warranty, get the faulty CD/DVD-writer replaced, so that you can "burn" disks.

However, you seem to have "other" hardware problems. Hire a qualified computer-geek (Geek Squad or Dial A Geek) to trouble-shoot, if your computer is out-of-warranty.

Hi

Thank you for your query

From what you are describing the recovery disks are faulty, and as things stand you have no operating system.

The only thing you can do about it, is to contact Toshiba to obtain replacement discs

If this has been useful please leave positive feedback/vote/testimonial - Thank you again

Hi,
I think ur laptop webcam driver not installed properly.If ur laptop have windows vista operating system then do these steps.
Goto Start - Programs - Recovery Manager - Recovery Manager.In that recovery manager,click on next.Its shows the Software reinstallation page.Click on next button two times.Its shows the software lists.Select the webcam software and click on next button.After reinstallation completed , u restart laptop and check it.
If ur laptop have windows XP operating system then u uninstall the webcam software through Add/Remove program and restart it.After restarting ,Reinstall the web cam software and check it. If u doesnt have webcam drivers then u go for nearest service centre and install it.

Thanks
