Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

> I formatted my PC and install XP

No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

    Hi guys.

    I have a question.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
    Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
    After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

    My question is this.
    Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

    Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
    I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

    The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
    Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thank you for your time.

    OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...

  • Satellite L655-1HE «Problem of HARD drive recovery»

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L655-1HE. I created a "HARD drive recovery" through "create recovery media. On the contrary, CD/DVD, I put it in a USB Flash drive. But when I used it, a mistake was "copy of splitpart or the Canadian Red Cross has failed!" After that, I can't boot my laptop more. There is a message "BOOTMNGR missing." I think I already deleted the operating system in the player. Please help me. How can I fix?

    Hello

    If you can, please try to boot again from the USB and run the recovery.

    Whatever the problem, if the recovery is unsuccessful, I recommend the following steps:

    -buy a set of recovery-store to the wire to https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu
    -If you did, and even this game fails to install, take care to check your HARD disk for problems.

    Hope this helps

  • Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

    Can I reinstall windows from this folder?

    Hello

    You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
    If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

    Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
    So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

    Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

    But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

  • Can satellite A210-1AO - I use SSD drive?

    Can I replace the original HDD with ssd HARD drive? And where can I found the DSS Satellite A210-1AO drive compatibility list?

    I doubt you can find a list of the SSD compatible discs for Satellite A210 since the Satellite A210 where not tested and not equipped with these drives
    But as far as I know, there is not much difference between the use of the common SATA HDD or SSD SATA drive.

    As mentioned, the laptop supports the SATA controller and you can use an SSD designed for SATA controllers
    Usually this SSD drive should be ok.

  • Can satellite A100 - I put the HARD drive with 7200 RPM model?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-044, I would spend my the 120 GB HARD drive to a more large (250 GB or 320 GB).

    A 7200 RPM would work on this subject? It seems Web compatibility sites they show 5400 RPM more, I would like to set up my laptop for recording/mastering so music wants a fast machine, I don't really mind if it consumes more energy...

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you
    Stone

    Hello!

    Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with a model more fast using 7200 RPM. But as you say, it takes a little more energy. The new HARD drive should be a little faster, especially access time should be lower.

    250 GB or 320 GB should be possible; you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

    I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

    Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

    Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

    In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

    Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

    I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

    I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

    My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

    What would you recommend I do?
    My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

    I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

    So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

  • Satellite C872D - lack area of HARD drive recovery

    Hello

    When I want to Toshiba Recovery Media Creator allows you to create recovery DVDs I have an error message:

    No HDD Recovery area! Toshiba Recovery cannot be enabled.
    What should I do?

    That's big problem now.
    Generally each laptop comes with preinstalled operating system contains the original recovery saved on the HARD disk image.

    For some reason any pre-installed recovery disc creator Toshiba cannot find and access the recovery image. I don't know why this is happening on your laptop, but it can happen if the recovery image is deleted, moved to another location or structure partitions of HARD drive has been changed.

    What can you do now? Nothing. All you can do now is to order the original restore disc and use it to install the original image of recovery designed for your laptop model.

    You can order on - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Can satellite L300-1AQ - I use the L300D recovery disk?

    My son has a Satellite L300-1AQ equipped of vista. All of a sudden will load is more the laptop and automatic repair options fails too. There is a blue screen that appears, but only for a second when I try the repair option - then the laptop stops. We have no recovery disks.

    Also, I have a laptop Satellite L300D-13 s that works well and suppose I could get a drive recovery- but prob diff drivers etc.

    Can someone advise me how best to my sons laptop (Im not concerned about retrieving data as all saved already), but do not want to return to the factory settings including Vista. Do not know if using a laptop recovery disk is an option - instinctively is not as ever as simple as that.

    All advice welcome please.

    Hi mate,

    I can t imagine that the Satellite L300D recovery disc will work on Satellite L300. The hardware platform is different, because a single machine is equipped with Intel CPU and the other with AMD processor, so there's a big difference.

    In addition, in the worst case, it could be a hardware problem and in this case the recovery disk does not work

    What can you do now? I think you have to options: either you install Vista from a disk of Microsoft or order you a Toshiba Recovery disk: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    After installing the Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Then you will also get back to factory settings, but it takes more time in the recovery disk because it contains an image which already all the drivers and tools are included/installed.

    I hope I could help a bit. :)

    Missing a very important information: preinstalled OS the original that you have with your laptop or you have installed a clean version of Windows?

    When you buy the new book it comes with factory settings. If long your laptop has this plant, you will be able to install the recovery image according to instructions with F8 at startup. If you change something that it will no longer work (install own os, partition structure).

    In this case you must use the created recovery disc but I assume you didn't create one although it is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

    Problem is that you can't do much. Either it works or not. If there is no way to install image recovery I'm afraid you need to order the new Mr. recovery disk you can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
