• Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

  I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

  With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

  My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

  Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
  I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

  If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

  I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hey Yossi

  I think you have misunderstood something!

  You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

  Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

  So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
  This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

  Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

  but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
  That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

  Hello

  Of course, you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk to go back to Vista. It contains a picture of the factory settings and this means that the Vista preinstalled with all the drivers and tools.

  But note that the recovery disc erase the drive HARD integer for you should backup your data first before using the recovery disk.

• I lost the disc to restore my phone and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  I lost my laptop computer restore disc and it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. Can I use the installation disc for my desktop with my laptop serial number?

  My title says it all. I have an old HP laptop that they do not send to restore the disc more (I don't know yet I had one; his old laptop from my brother) and I have an installation disc for my new PC. I have a Windows XP Home edition SP2 installation disc. However, as the hard drive of my laptop broke down, I don't know what version of windows it was. I think it should have been an OEM version and the sticker says it was Windows XP Home Edition.

  Now, anyway I tried to install my installation on laptop computer disc, offering series of laptop computer but now it asks me to activate. Will it work if I activate it?

  Thank you

  Unless you are lucky enough to know someone who has a generic OEM drive, which you can borrow, I don't see a practical solution for you.  I advise you to spend the money to buy one, even if you could find one to buy from a reliable source (not eBay!).  Although a generic OEM disc should work with your product key, there is no guarantee that it will work with your product key.

  If your laptop can be retrieved through a restore partition, and you can't borrow a disc that will work with your product key, then you have pretty much exhausted all reasonable or practical options.

  I finally did! I borrowed a copy of a generic OEM drive, through activation and it is!

  Thank you much for the help...

  Now I've done could you help me more? Say now, I returned the drive OEM back (don't want to make an illegal copy) and want to be able to use my current system installed to generate a system disk that will allow me to avoid all the problems I've had up to now. What would you recommend? I've read a few articles on other forums (I did some research!) but is a little confusing. I hope you could help.

  Thank you

• where can I get the recovery disc for my hp pavilion a6863w

  Hello

  I got a blue screen of death issue. So I was setting the pc to the factory settings using the recovery on the HARD drive system. During the process, the pc has picked up on and now it won't do anything. Right guard reboot, not even start in safe mode. My HP Pavilion a6863w did not come with recovery discs, a section on the HARD drive has been designated for this. Before this happened I was able to run diagnostics and everything going on. processor, memory, hard drive, everything passed. How can I get the disks to recover. I have a HDD Seagate Barracuda 750. Help, please. Thank you for your time.

• Re: Tecra M9 - using the recovery disc

  Hello, can someone please help.

  I don't have a model Tecra M9. PTM90E-05700WEN serial No. Y76875H professional XP operating system.

  The problem I have is as follows - I would like to reset the machine back to factory settings, I have the product recovery disc that came with it as well as the Microsoft Office Basic 2007 license key.

  Instructions on the cover of the album simply say "insert the first disc in the drive and turn off the computer. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disc drive in the menu. Follow the who make their appearance on the screen. »

  Problem # 1 - I only have one disc, I can certainly say that I have lost. instructions refer to "first record suggesting there is more than one. The disc I have is clearly marked "product recovery". There are some numbers on the disc namely - GMR400776EN0 and also SD124219 of CD.
  The disc is also clearly marked Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

  Problem # 2 - when I make the instructions above, nothing else that the system starts normally. I can assure you that I am pressing F12 before the opening of Windows.

  I don't get the option to select anything and even less the optical disk drive. I tried several times but always the same result.

  Otherwise, I've tried - using the F8 key button brings up options menu, ie SafeMode etc etc work, but nothing referring to fix the computer.

  Press and hold 0 then that until the computer starts.

  Best regards and many thanks

  Hello

  Tecra M9 is older model laptop so method with F8 or zero will not work.

  The instructions are nothing else than the General instructions and not written for your Tecra M9 only. Recovery image is not the same for all models of laptops. They are so different with some laptops, there is a disc only, but with some models, there are two disks.

  I believe you when you say you've got a disc only.
  How to start recovery disc installation there are three methods:
  -Start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings > change the boot order and put the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.
  -key c close several times to start laptop. This will force the optical disc drive to be the first boot device.
  -start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

  Please test all these methods and send feedback.

• After upgrade to Windows 7 can I use Toshiba recovery disc creator?

  Hello

  I just upgraded my Toshiba Satellite L550-130 from Vista to Windows 7. The Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is always installed also works for Windows 7?
  Then, I'll go and buy some blank DVDs...

  Thank you and grettings,
  Toni

  Hey mate,

  I doubt it will work. I mean, after the installation of Windows 7, there is not image files that you can burn on the recovery disk. So it does not work in my opinon.

  If n t believe you, just try and post your results here! Blank DVD is really cheap ;)

• Can I use the Microsoft disc to update my window XP system to Windows 7 to update my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, I have purchased

  I bought a download to upgrade my XP to Windows 7 32-bit desktop computer. I also bought the discs 32 and 64 bit.

  Can I use the same drive to upgrade my computer laptop version of Vista to Windows 7? They will work or do I need to download again?

  Thanks for any info

  First of all, note that you can use an upgrade, you cannot make a
  update from XP to Windows 7. You'll have to do a cleaning
  installation.

  Secondly, I do not understand why you bought both the download and the
  disks. It would appear that you need one. Can you elaborate?

  You need a copy of Windows 7 for each machine. You cannot use the
  copy the same for both machines. But if you bought two copies, you can use
  one of them for each machine.

  Depends on which option that you select when you get to the recovery screen. If your select Repair, your personal files are kept, but you may have to reinstall programs that were not shipped with the system. The other option is to reset to the factory settings. This option erases your hard drive and reinstalls the Ant OS restores your system to the way it was when you first pulled out of the box.* *

  And I lose all my media files?

  If you don't back them up before proceeding, yes you.

  * Don't, you cannot run AVG and Norton together. They both have real time protection and which certainly causes a conflict.* *.

• Can I use the recovery CD without losing all my data?

  When I turn on my laptop satellite I get a message saying that the Windows system file is missing or damaged. The standard fix seems to be to repair using the Windows CD of Installation which of course I did not. I've also seen suggestions that sometimes chkdsk will fix the problem, but I can't run no more.

  The insert on the product recovery disc warns that all created files since I bought the laptop will be deleted. However, when I load the utility, I get two options. The first is to reinstall XP on my entire hard drive, and he told me that if I do that, I'll lose all my files. The second option is to install XP on a separate partition on my hard drive. He said nothing to lose all my data. Am I right in thinking that this second option will be to install XP, say, E: and I will then be able to run chkdsk on C:, or at least access C: and back up all my data?

  My deep gratitude for all the advice!

  Hello

  Sounds like you have an old Win XP Recovery disk

  Of general use of the Toshiba Recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and therefore existing partitions will be deleted too I m not quite sure on the second option, you mentioned, maybe you would be able to choose a partition during the recovery process and would be able to install the operating system only on this partition without formatting the HARD drive but I m not 100% sure because it seems to be a former recovery procedure

  I would recommend another solution. You want to access the HARD drive to back up data. Right? Why you n start t Notepad using a Livecd such as Knoppix. In this case nothing would be installed on the HARD drive and the data on the HARD drive would not be affected so you can access important data and can move a HDD connected USB or flash memory stick

  After that, you can run the recovery procedure and might install Win XP on C.

• HP Probook b 6450-how can I get the recovery disc for the laptop. Crashed and don't have a recovery disk

  Got a Probook 6450 b that crashed. don't burn the recovery disk so need to recovery disks. tried to order online, but the site does not deliver in my country of origin.

  Have a friend who has a probook 6450 b but a processor 2.1 GHz and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Mine is Wondows 7 Pro, 2.4 GHz. can I use its on my laptop recovery disks?

  How can I get preinstalled HP software back?

  Tell us about the hard drive crashed.  You can link it to your desktop and make a check disk on it? Which can make new bootable.  If you don't care the utility partition and recovery being installed (you really won't need if you download and make the disc), and then download it here (you might put in your key Microsoft 25-digit Windows 7 Pro code):
