I am seeing a strange problem with my recovery disc!
When my computer is working fine, I had created a recovery disc on a USB disk (capacity 32GB).
Now my hard disc died and I bought a brand new one(Kingston 120GB SSD harddrive), I have now replaced the old hard drive (Toshiba brand and not a SSD hard drive) with the new one and used the pen drive recovery disc I created earlier.
Here are the steps I have followed after this:
1) Insert the Pen drive (recovery disc), it gave me very different menu from what is shown on this video.
2) I followed the steps and selected factory reset (fresh out of box state) and it the showed me same screens as this video.
3) It said formatting first and then copying files over to hard drive etc..,
finally when the 100%copying is done, it gives me a message: "Now computer will reboot a few minutes to complete the recovery process do not unplug ac adapter or close the lid etc.."
4) I have pressed continue and the system reboots
After the reboot it again comes to exact same screen from where we started (step 2).
I just cancelled this and rebooted system and this time unplugged the USB before it starts, now I get message: "No bootable hard disc found press any key to continue"
Just to see if the process actually copied anything, I have connected the hard disc to an another working computer via a USB connector and I actually see that it has 3 partitoins: 200mb 75GB and 26GB, the 75 GB partition has all the system files occupies around 17GB disc space.
This means that the recovery process has actually copied over a lot of files, yet i am not able to boot from the new hard disc.
Please suggest if I missed anything or I should do something different
