  CHKDSK (CheckDisk) is a Microsoft disk utility that verifies the integrity of your file system and disk blocks.

• Cannot restore my Satellite L670

  OK, let's go...

  I have a Tosh Satellite L670 with all the trimmings of toshiba, including the center of recovery and the recovey disc image hidden. Everything is good so far. Until the I had a failed drive :( So, no toshiba Recovery Center and no image factory. And, being a developer of software (not a technician of material), I not create a recovery DVD set.

  Stupidly, I have not around him, so my bad.

  I managed to get a Windows7 bootable disk, got a DOS command and successful guest to reformat the main disk and boot sector. Then I had the image of another, very similar, Toshiba, loaded this image, re-registered windows 7 and got the girl back up and running. Obviously, I have still problems such as the images are a little inconsistent, but I have a system that works, so I can go online and do the normal stuff, but I wanted to put it to its factory settings. I had reset disks for my make and model was sent to me by toshiba (for a price, of course).

  Instructions for use the factory reset disks are very simple. Place the disc in the dvd drive, shut down the laptop, restart, press F12 and select "Boot from DVD.

  Done that... Did not work :( The message I get is that the boot DVD failed.

  Now, my problem is that I have (allegedly) 2 factory reset disks provided by Toshiba and no way to use them. I did a little research, and the files on the disks (files of stormwater management) appear to be split system (WIMS) windows image, so I downloaded the Windows System Image Manager to see if I could use that to reload the original image. He didn't recognize them as image files.

  I'm inclined to believe that a utility back (IMAGEX.exe) might do the trick, but I'm not convinced (do not know what is happening to use, don't know how to restore 'split' image files, do not believe that I can run while Windows7 runs the disk I want to reload the image for, etc.).

  Thus, any help or advice would be appreciated, especially Toshiba (if they can tell me why do not work the 'instructions').

  Thank you

  Hello Rico

  It's a really bad situation now. Generally, if the recovery disc is created correctly it should work. It is not designed for some kind of manipulation, and either it works or not. I don t think you can do something about it.

  Please try to use it several times and if the same mistake happen again and again I recommend you contact Avato and explain the situation.

  Orientation of Toshiba? Here on the user forum? Forget it. All you can do is contact the Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

• Cannot restore my Satellite L300 to factory settings

  Hi all

  I have a laptop Satellite L300 who played upward. I was advised to do a system restore to factory settings.
  I turned on the computer and press F8 to bring up the Advanced Start and you press on enter repair my computer and screen rises windows load files.

  He has been slain on this screen for about an hour now and did not move to the next step.
  Could someone give me some advice please?

  I agree with Timox. There is not much you can do about it.
  There is no mechanism to have direct influence on the HARD drive installation procedure.

  Try again. You may be lucky and recovery installation will start correctly.

• Cannot restore my Satellite C850

  Hello

  I tried to install Windows 7 on my new laptop (instead of the 8 of Windows it came with) using a DVD to boot. First of all, I had to disable Secure Boot, then changed to CSM Boot UEFI boot to get the laptop to recognize the DVD (using advice found on the Toshiba Forum of Support). The installation seemed to go OK until I got to where I wanted to install the copy of Windows 7. He said that I could not install it on the main partition because "the selected disc is the GPT partition style.

  So I deleted the primary partition and then recreated it. I did this using the options, delete, new then format. But he still wouldn't let me install on the main partition, saying: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. So I decided to not touch a plus and resigned myself using Windows 8. The problem is that I cannot now recover the PC because when I try to use the Reset PC option in the recovery section (press 0 on boot up) it says: "cannot retrieve your PC. A required disk partition is missing. »
  Now I can not use the laptop at all. Can someone help me please?

  I read online that I could get Windows 7 by removing all parttions with GParted and then re-create a new partition table and a new primary partition with it. However, I am very wary of deleting the recovery partition, in which case I do more damage. I want Windows 7 on, but at this point, I limit myself to what I can get. There is probably a solution to my problem. I do not understand the purpose of hard disk, partition well enough to trust in no more tinkering with the hard drive. I installed Windows 7 on my previous laptop using the method, I've talked about above. The problem seems to be the new UEFI / GPT system.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you very much

  Did you create recovery media until you started to install the clean version of the OS?
  I mean to do. If this isn't the case, you have the problem because you will not be able to do it again.
  If you want to have the notebook to factory settings (Win8) once again you use the recovery disk.
  Anyway, you can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Back to the installation of the OS. A few months ago I installed Win7 on my U940 and on the same stage I ve removed all existing partitions and create the new partition of 100 GB. If I m remembering for the installation of the OS, I ve just choose this partition and installed Win7 on it. More later using option in disk management I ve created another partition.

  In the end, I must say that installing Win7 on my preinstalled Win8 machine was very simply and without any problems.

• Cannot restore my Satellite L500 - 19 X

  Hi guys,.

  I recently bought a new Satellite L500 - 19 X.
  Had no real problems, until the battery died last night and now it won't start Windows at all.

  When I turn it on it comes up with "Start Windows normally" and "Launch Startup Repair tool" options. If I try to fix loads some files then goes to a black screen with the mouse. If I start windows normally he tries a fair bit and goes back to these two options.

  From what I've seen a lot of people have had similar problems, o all of sugested solutions have been in vain for me however.

  Could not load safe mode. Tried using the recovery disk that was provided and that brings just the same black screen with the cursor. Also tried booting the system without the bttery etc., which also did not work.

  I am (or at least try to run) running windows 7, which is already installed on the hard drive.

  For any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Ive pretty much has everything well tried.

  Bravo for your time. Any help would be great.

  Hello

  Hmm. you have a courier flashing in the upper left corner?
  It looks more like a HARD drive problem or a partition

  But try this:
  Switch on and press F8.
  Then choose fix my computer and then choose (if possible) HARD drive recovery.

  If this is not possible then go into the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is recognized (all details should appear).
  If the HARD drive is not recognized, then this would mean that your HARD drive is defective.

  If the HARD drive is recognized then it might be something wrong with a partition on the HARD drive

  In this case, you can try to create a WinPE bootable system diskette:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment

  Then the could format the HARD drive again and after that who could use the recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7.

• Cannot restore my Satellite C660-1ZM

  Hello I hope you can help me.

  Currently, I used the boot on my laptop recovery mode, as my laptop computer had been infected by somesort of malware, which slows my laptop down, making it unusable, it's why I turned to recovery, after I did the restore I found that I was unable to use my laptop, it seems that the OS is missing I can't access in safe mode or normal mode and recovery option has now disappeared from the F8 menu, I'm stuck on ideas on what to do, I've only had the laptop 5 months ago and now its totally useless.

  I look forward to your advice,
  Thanks in advance,

  > So I have to pay for a repair disc for something that wasn't all my fault anyway possible and it is still under the warranty of the year?

  As far as I know the recovery disk costs about 30

  But to my knowledge its always recommended to create the _recovery disk_ when you use the notebook for the first time that I read it in my user manual, so it should be mentioned in your manual too

• Cannot restore my Satellite L450D - error in DiskPart

  I use the recovery disk that came with the laptop when I bought it. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for me?

  Yes, it seems to have failed at the early stage when it copies the files from the recovery disk on your hard drive recovery partition.

  My immediate thought is that, since the recovery process appears not to have gotten very far he haven't formatted the partition on which your operating system and files are located.

  -What caused you to run the recovery disk in the first place?

  -Have you tried to start windows normally? If you can start windows there are more opportunities for tools to run in a more easy way.

  -Can you press F8 during startup and enter the system recovery menu?

  Also please give model No. computer laptop for example L750-201, which is located on the underside of the laptop and what operating system, it has on it. for example, Windows 7.

  any idea how I can do this job properly, simply want to restore the computer to factory settings.

  Thank you.

  Sorry to edit. more information.

Had a msg of error there as well as saying something was missing to the point description of the computer and I need to get properly so that the cd works on the computer. Has never given an option of entry of the machine model that he then invited me that it could be done in safe mode.

  Thanks again.

  Hello

  Why are you trying to restore safe mode factory settings? As far as I know you have to start from the Toshiba drive to restore the factory settings. This is why boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

  Otherwise, you can try to install Windows from a disc of Microsoft. Maybe your recovery disc is noisy and t can be read correctly. After you install Windows on a Microsoft disc, you can download all the drivers and tools on the Toshiba site. :)

  Good luck!

• "Error loading operating sytem!" on Satellite A55

• Satellite A55-S106 does not recognize the 160 GB HARD drive

  I replaced the 60 GB IDE HDD in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A55-S106 with a 160 GB one of Western Digital.

  I've restored a Ghost 10 image to the new drive on a hard disk external. The computer still recognizes only 60 GB. Belarc and HD Tune to see a 160 GB drive, but show the volumes as being only 60 GB.

  Disk management Windows show 93,16 GB as unallocated.
  I am running Windows XP SP3.

  Someone at - it ideas? The BIOS can be crippled somehow? I can't find anything in the BIOS that seems to address hard drive size.

  I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow? Here I used the original recovery CD to recover everything first and then restored the Ghost image?

  I put a 160 GB drive in an old 1999 Dell desktop running Windows 98 and no problems like that. It is hard to believe that a laptop from 2005 would have this problem. It is, however, my first attempt at using a version of Ghost Windows hard drive recovery.

  > I started directly on the Ghost recovery CD after installing the new drive. Should I have formatted, it firstly somehow?

  Yes, I suppose the HARD drive was not formatted in NTFS file format.
  This is why I would recommend booting from original Toshiba Recovery CD and then check if the HARD drive has been recognized correctly!

  Please check first!
