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 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.

  • Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

    Hello

    I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
    After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

    At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

    Any help much appreciated

    I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
    To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

    Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
    By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

    Hey...

    Well, I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 windows 7 64-bit something when wrong with my hdd.and I try to restore to restore it to the factory... in the middle of the process, it didn't... and now I can't seem to start back... and I do not have a recovery dvd...

    I managed to get the partation files to recover, but it extracted, I do not think that all files add up to about 10 GB...
    These are the files
    BIN
    BOOT
    IMAGES_BOOT
    PLANFOLDER
    SOURCES
    ZZIMAGES
    ! V6_00_03.VRP
    BOOTMGR
    DATA. INI
    EDITAF. BAT
    PLANDATA. INI

    Therefore, because of this im changing the hard drive.
    so my question is can I make a disk bootable recovery of these files or to restore the system some how with these files?

    I will use that help and thanks in advance!

    > so my question is can I make a disk bootable recovery of these files or to restore the system some how with these files?
    Unfortunately not. It is now too late. Bootable recovery disk can be created with the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    I m wondering really you didn't he create in the past.

    Now, you have two options: either you use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc, you must order the new recovery DVDs.

  • Installation of recovery image on Satellite L500D

    Am trying to re - install windows 7 on Satellite L500D. I'm having all kinds of problems with the computer because it has been infected by malware or viruses, don't know that. I have already backed up all my documents, photos and files pst on an external hard drive.

    I press '0' when the power and then got the following options.

    First option is 32 or 64 bits,
    I chose 32 that the vehicle has currently 32-bit installed.
    Warns next option, I selected Yes.
    Next option is factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-the-box). or erase the hard drive, I chose the default settings restoring.
    Then there's 3 options,
    1 recovery of out-of-the-box-state (System Recovery Options include).
    2. recovery without changing hard drive partitions, or
    3. recover to custom size partition. I thought I chose Option 1, but it shows all partitions will be deleted and you will lose all data on the hard drive.

    This means that I will delete the windows installs partition?
    Choose option 2?
    Option 2 says "the first partition is deleted and you will lose all data on the partition. I am thinking 2 option?

    On a separate issue, I could install the 64 bit version of Windows, if so it would be an advantage?

    Hello

    Please check it and I hope you find al the info you need there. I always use Recovery option out-of-box state > system recovery options are included.

    Your system is infected of course and you have to complete resettlement in order to not make this so complicated. Back up all your data and install recovery image using option 1. No matter what will be removed and what not. Drive HARD integer should be cleaned.

    I recommend you to use the version of 64-bit operating system.

  • How to install Recovery on my Satellite L655-121 image?

    I have labtop to a Toshiba SATELLITE L655-121,

    I did a restore to get rid of the problems that I have encountered in Windows 8 beta, but the recovery has not filled :(

    Now I can't fix or redo the recovery! I had him!

    I can't use HARD drive recovery that was present on "pilot! and I don't have the CD on which the copy is present, I have just the serial number :D

    The laptop is useless now, what should I do? If I downloaded this Microsoft Windows and used the S.N I, if it works correctly?

    >... but the recovery did not complete

    > if I downloaded this Microsoft Windows and used the S.N I, if it works correctly?
    N ° serial number has nothing to do with the recovery image.

    If you want to have the original Toshiba installed on your laptop recovery image you must order the Toshiba recovery disc - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    Another option is to install the clean version of the OS and later install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities more. Each of them you can find and download from Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • How to install the recovery image on Satellite Pro A300?

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 and I need factory reset. I learned from my teacher of computers there is a unknown virus on this subject. Apparently, it has been downloaded when I downloaded Malware bites. I got the laptop free of Set - BC because I muscle Handi-trophy and get tired of writing.

    My teacher told me that I need to Factory Reset, but when I got the laptop, she had everything installed on, (kurzwell, Chrome, etc.) so I don't have the disc to factory reset. In addition, the virus has disabled everything that has anything to do with the internet, (Chrome, for example, Firefox, Outlook, malware bites, etc.).

    Y at - it all means I have factory reset the laptop without the need of the disc.
    Any suggestions will help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you check on page 122 s manuals you will find all the info and detailed explanation of the image recovery and recovery image installation.

    It is strongly recommended to create recovery media (recovery backup image) which can be used for the installation of the OS in the case that there is a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery or HARD drive malfunction.

    I presume you didn't create such a support, right? Can you please try to create with the help of preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool? The same error message appears again?

  • Impossible to install Win 7 on Satellite C660 - 26H - HARD drive not recognized

    I reinstall windows 7 on a Satellite C660 - 26H
    The hard drive failed on this laptop, so I added a new Toshiba 160 GB sata drive.

    When I try to install windows 7 I get the error message

    "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok"

    I get this when I would normally be choose which windows installation disc too. I guess I need driver sata for the laptop?

    Where can I get the driver for this laptop sata?
    Or do I have driver sata for the new hard drive?

    Any help appreciated, thanks!

    Hello

    First check to see if the new HARD drive is listed and recognized in the BIOS. It must appear on the first page of the BIOS.

    If his list, and save the changes by pressing F10 and access to the BIOS.

    I'm not very well if you need the SATA drivers because AFAIK Win 7 should already contain a standard SATA driver from m.

    However, the SATA drivers are on Intel page.
    You should look for Intel Storage Manager.
