    Hello

    Can you please write a little bit more kill your issue? Since when you noticed this problem? What did you do last time? Maybe installed WXP and now the HARD drive is not visible for the BIOS or does not appear when you use F12 at startup?

    Please write a little more. I don't think that the service can't do anything.

    Hello

    What do you mean, the laptop does not accept the XP Pro? You can not install Windows xp or it is installed and you cannot start it upward?
    AFAIK, the best solution is to install Windows xp, then Windows (Vista). Otherwise, Windows Xp will delete the bootloader of Windows 7 and you will need to get it back

  • Satellite L305-S5917 cannot create recovery disk

    I have a Satellite L305-S5917.

    Yesterday I tried to create the recovery disk with the recovery disc creator, and then when I put a DVD + R, it says 'another application is using that drive or no recordable discs are recognized on your PC. Please check the status of the drive. (Error code: 0D00E4-F0-00000000). »
    I also try with DVD - R, but I wasn't too. Someone tell me what is the problem with my laptop and how do I create a recovery disc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    This error message does not for me.
    You have installed an application like Nero CD/DVD burning?

    Maybe an enforcement agent runs in the background and optical disc drive is permanent in the surveillance state. Restart your laptop, check the substantive activities and make sure that nothing can be responsible for this drive blocking.
    The STRANGE is properly recognized in Device Manager?

    One last thing: for creation of recovery media I would recommend to use high quality DVD-R virgins.
    I had the best experience with TDK and Verbatim.

  • Vista cannot find the mouse USB - Satellite P100 - 434 PSPADE driver

    * Need help to install a mouse optical usb on vista32 *.

    I have two mice, two optical usb, 1 wired and 1 wireless. They are the two plug-and-play so when to plug their vista must locate and install the right drivers automatically... it can't.
    Vista search drivers on the disk and hard on the internet.

    Then says:

    They are plug-and-play and just install automatically, there is no driver CD that come with the mouse.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite PSPADE P100-434 with Vista 32 bit purchsed new 2 weeks ago.

    Help, please... Thank you!

    It's strange, because the standard optical mouse should be installed without time and without the need of specific drivers.
    Did you check the homepage of the manufacturer for drivers?

    The "HDDRecovery" folder available on the second partition?

    Hello

    In your case there is nothing you can do. The recovery DVDs can be created only if the laptop is factory settings. Unfortunately, you have removed original preinstalled Vista and now there is no way, you can create recovery media.

    Sorry, but there is only one thing to do now to order a new copy. You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx.

    I really wonder that you ignored the reminder to create recovery DVDs.

  • Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C660

    Hello
    I tried to restore a Satellite C660 factory settings because it be extremely slow to start.

    Using the original Toshiba recovery disks the process gets to half way through and then gives the following messages...

    Error restoring image
    The device is not ready

    ERROR: ImageX could not be Win7 V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\15489XSP.swm Index 2 HARD C: drive!

    If someone can advise?
    Thank you

    Unfortunately there is no workaround to force the recovery image installation runs correctly.
    All you can do right now is to set the BIOS to default settings and use the drive recovery again.
    Make sure that the disc is clean.

    Do you use the recovery disc for the first time?

  • Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

    Hello.

    I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

    I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

    First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

    So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

    (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

    So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

    So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

    Please, please help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

    Here's my explanation of how it works:
    Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

    As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
    -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

    HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

    Your questions:
    > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
    > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
    > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
    > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
    If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

    > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
    I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
    > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
    Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

    Follow these steps:
    -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
    -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
    -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
    -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
    -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
    This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

    Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

  • Cannot start Recovery on my Satellite A200-1N5

    I need help please

    I can't do the recovery of my Satellite A200-1N5.
    When the recovery DVDs starts is a message says that windows couldn't start .a recent hardware or software change might be the cause (and then I followed the instructions but no change coming)

    Best regards

    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion recovery didn't start at all. Please, start your laptop and press the F12 key. Keep it down for a few seconds and the start menu appears. Choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

    If all goes well you'll hear running the CD/DVD drive and the activity on the screen.

  • Tecra A4 cannot read recovery disks

    I am trying to rebuild my Tecra A4 software.
    When I bought it in 2005, I did the recovery discs as recommended by using Sony CDR 700 MB disks.

    Now the CD-DVD do not read them.
    The discs are good, that I've explored them before (a while back), I can Explorer on another computer.

    The Tecra open commercial discs (e.g., printer put in place of the disks, etc.), but does not open the discs that were burned itself (for example, whether previously on the Tecra or another computer). I tired the Sony recovery discs, I tried CD - RW Fuji disks, I tired Memorex, MB 100 CD - R discs.

    None of them will work. Driver is up-to-date.
    I cleaned the lens. Still no luck.
    Any suggestions?

    Otherwise, how can I get a reconstruction of the initial state of the software as new on the system?
    I have an original XP disc that is generic to Microsoft.

    However, I don't want to go this route because I'm pretty sure that Toshiba uses all sorts of drivers that are not available from MS, nor readily available on the net without having to pay someone for them.

    > The Tecra open commercial discs (e.g., printer put in place of the disks, etc.), but does not open the discs that were burned self (for example, whether previously on the Tecra or another computer).

    In this case, to all CD/DVD players, that I had the same problem, because not all readers are compatible with all the disks that are on the market
    I think that is known to you

    However, this problem could be related to a hardware malfunction since the reader of the s laptop has been used 5 years long, it s the s drive laser lens can not calibrate correctly because of the stress of use

    It must be said that you can try to burn the recovery disk using another computer and then you could try to restore the operating system using the burned recovery disk.
    Try a few CD - R TDK or Verbatim
    I use TDK and I convinced m

    Maybe it will work, if not, will need you another CD/DVD drive

  • Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C650D

    Hello

    I have a C650D who fell just out of warranty and died on me. I did the recovery discs to purchase then thought that it would be a simple matter to use and I would be able to use the laptop again... seems I was mistaken :(

    I tried the F8 key at startup to option and all I get is the following message is displayed:
    No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

    I inserted the recovery disk and after an amount of noise from the hard drive and windows message takes over the files then I got a box asking me to choose the language I wanted, followed by an error message that there is something missing... I don't have the time to write down full seizure quit on me. After trying to load (incase there was something wrong with the first attempt) get the windows loading page then nothing...

    Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this please?

    Thanks in advance

    > No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.
    I fear this message has something to do with Mr. HARD disk HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?

    If so, the value please BIOS to the default settings and use recovery DVD again.

    By the way: you can see the language option, but you can not choose another language than the original language, you got with your laptop. In other words if you have BONES of the Spain, you can't choose another language. You have only BONE on the Spain.

    If please try to set the BIOS to the default settings and try to start installing recovery again. This PXE message occurs when the laptop can not find any device bootable and as a final attempt to use the LAN card.

    After changing the BIOS default settings to check please if the HARD drive is listed correctly in the BIOS on the first page.
