Can I retrieve C only on Satellite A300 with recovery disc?

Hello!

I am new to the new installation Windows built-in type. I was familiar with the old with Norton ghost. It was easy for me, but I have a problem with the new. I wants to recover C only on my laptop with a different size than the size of the plant.

I want to delete the first partition and reorganize others because I want bigger partition for my data and small Partition for my system. Can I start the program with the CD, and then insert the Toshiba recovery disc and use the image of Vista on recovery DVD to recover only the C drive?

Excuse me for my English. :-)

Hello

At first, I must say that your English is very good and understandable. ;)

Back to the question of the recovery. I agree with you. With old Norton ghost recovery image, it was possible to install the operating system on a partition only. Unfortunately with the recovery media that you can create with your Satellite A300, something like this is not possible.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - the recovery disc include music and programs?

    I have a Satellite A300 and were invited to "recover"my computer."

    I did not yet a recovery disk and I was wondering if the files (ie. music) would be included in the recovery, and if they were not would be removed. Also, I was wondering about the programs (ie. iTunes), it will be recovered because I do the recovery with installed disk.

    It's just a problem because I have 250GB of music and I would like to take a moment to move to my laptop hard drive and it would really screw up iTunes.

    Hello

    It s a good idea that you think about the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk because you need so Vista doesn t start. This could happen

    In any case, the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can create with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. What does the program do?
    The recovery disk creator burn a boot drive with a factory image. This means that all the files you have stored on the computer or programs that you have installed are not on the recovery disk. The image I made is stored on the second partition of your laptop in the folder HDDrecovery.

    So before starting the recovery disk, you should back up all the files on a DVD or external HARD disk. The complete HARD disk will be formatted with the recovery disk.

    Moreover, you know the function of HARD drive recovery? It s similar to drive recovery but it formats only the first partition. You can start this feature Toshiba if you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer and then choose the Toshiba Recovery option. Then you come back to factory settings.

    But the files and programs that you have installed don t affect this image. So don t you worry about this and back up your files at any time.

    I hope you understand now and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

    I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
    Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

    Thank you

    Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

    Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

    The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

    Hello

    I have an A300-21i, and it does not start. It will not recover with the image that the image seems to be corrupted, and it will not re - install with recovery disks, that he always hangs around 52% while the unpacking of the OS from image X.

    Hello!

    I never noticed a problem with my Toshiba recovery disks, but have you tried to format the HARD drive before using the recovery disk? Therefore, you can use a Microsoft XP disk to format the whole HARD drive.
    After this bunch of Toshiba recovery disc again and follow the instructions on the screen.
    It work?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if it is possible to install Windows with a disk of Microsoft. Can you please verify this?
    Maybe the Toshiba recovery disc is noisy or it s a HARD drive malfunction and so it always freezes during installation.

    Good bye

  • How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc

    How can I get WIndows8 TouchSmart to boot from the recovery disc? With the recovery in the drive disk when I do a reboot or stop and start it does not read anything from the DVD player. My computer is a HP TouchSmart 23-D160QD.

    @AirForce9731,

    You may need to change the boot order to boot from the DVD drive first.  The steps to do this are in the document below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00364979

    These are recovery disks made by the recovery discs sent by HP?  They will not work in a different system (you will receive an error message), but you are able to get the boot floppies in a different system?  They should be able to start up to a point where the error message will be displayed.

  • Can I install Windows XP on Satellite A300-1EG

    What the installation of Windows XP Home on Satellite A300-1EG?

    What sort of change shoul I install before?

    What the difference betweem 32-bit and 64-bit? because it is a 32-bit Vista?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Of course, you can install XP on this laptop
    I put t see no reason why it shouldn't t function.

    Satellite A300-1EG belongs to the PSAG4E.
    Choose this series in the European driver Toshiba page and you will find the correct drivers.

    Please note that you must install the SATA AHCI driver first.
    I think this doc Toshiba should be useful:

    [How to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm]

    Also it you asked is what is the difference between the 32-bit OS and 64 bit OS.
    Well, there is a big difference but I n t want to show all
    An important fact is that drivers don't function on 64 bit OS 32 bit.

    For more information between the 32-bit and 64-bit OS recommends asking Google ;)

    Why not!

    There are enough threads that are very useful.

    PS; new laptops series supports the controller SATA HDD and SATA drivers, which are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, should therefore be included in the Win XP operating system.

  • Questions about pratitions by Satellite A300 HDD & recovery

    Hi all

    I m planning to buy the new model laptop Satellite A300 - 1 GR for my work.
    But I found that there is a problem. Many users face when dealing with laptop in general which is the removal of the partition when you use recovery disk to any operating system failure & lose data out there on other readers.
    So what I want is a solution that makes me able to track:

    1 have several drives C, D, E, etc.
    2 - the operating system is on the C drive & my work on other data
    3. in the case of any problem or failure in the operating system, I can format the entire disk C: & install another OS on it without any deletion or modification on other readers that my data stored on
    4 - ability to install different operating system like Windows Vista, XP or Linux s

    I just want just my new laptop to be like my desktop (Full controlled by me) PC

    Best regards

    Hey Buddy

    Will try to provide a little light on the case ;)

    The A300 is equipped with the function of HARD drive recovery. This means that you can recover the laptop without the DVD of the OS.
    The installation will start from the HARD drive.
    Of course, there is a possibility to create a Toshiba Recovery DVD using a preinstalled Toshiba disc creator.
    After the creation of DVD de Toshiba Recovery you can format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions (if you want).

    Up to now, we come to the point that you have requested;

    The whole HARD disk will be formatted (also partitions) If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
    Why? I think that the recovery DVDs was designed for one purpose; parameters of the laptop back to the factor settings.
    And this is what the recovery DVDs. It sets everything to its original state.

    So, if you want to keep your data on the other partition, then you shouldn't use the Toshiba Recovery DVD but an original disc of Microsoft Windows OS.

    In addition he s always advisable to back up the data on an example external HARD drive.
    Then it would be no problem to recover the data on the laptops HDD.

    See you soon

  • How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

    Please, I desperately need help.

    My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
    It's on the screen threre.

    He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

    He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

    How am I suppose to install windows vista?
    Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

    Anyone with an idea. Please

    > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

    It was a big mistake buddy
    The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
    But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

    Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

    Hello Kes

    Toshiba takes care of you and simply how to do this. ;)

    You should not install anything. Just start Toshiba Recovery creator tool and put the DVD-R media empty high quality and follow the menu on the screen. All that s.
    I recommend you to use TDK or Verbatim media. I tested both of them, and they work for sure.

    No available recovery disk
    Replaced HARD drive
    Installed Vista using the borrowed from the previous model of Toshiba Satellite recovery disk
    Installed the missing drivers-online work system without valid product key
    Connected the old HARD drive using the box external usb
    Launched original TRORDCLauncher on the old disk - no error

    So now, I apparently have 2 recovery DVDs.
