Cannot restore to factory of the Satellite L350

Hello

I was having problems with Vista so a friend recommended that I tried ubuntu.

But now I want to go back to vista, but I can't get my laptop to run restore.
I tried now pressed 0 while turn also by pressing f8 but it always starts just as usual.

The Toshiba recovery disc creator isn't on my computer either. I do not have the disks of Vista, but if I remember correctly that my laptop never came with them, I am really stuck on what to do.

Satellite L350

Hey,.

I'm a little confused about your ad Mr. you wrote that you tried Ubuntu but you have installed Ubuntu and Vista deleted or was it just a live Ubuntu disc?

The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is described here:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

But something more: the HDD recovery works only with the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, so if you have installed another OS or an upgrade, this option doesn't work anymore.

And you're right: the laptop doesn t come with Toshiba Recovery disk because you must create this disk you use Toshiba recovery media creator which is preinstalled. This tool will create a boot disk with a picture of settings which can be restored each time unlike HARD drive recovery which works only with the original installed OS.

To cut a long story short, just ordered a Toshiba Recovery disk and install it. Then you have the back factory settings :)

  • Audio skipping on the Satellite L350

    I have problems with the audio on my Satellite L350.

    I bought it in February & for the first two months, I had no problem, but more recently I've been doing audio stuttering/vibrations/jump on my laptop.
    It always happens to intervals of 5 minutes for a few seconds on all the sound elements of my laptop - CD, DVD, winamp, iTunes, Windows media player, Media Player VLC, audio stream of Web sites, tones of warning if they happen be awakened at 5 min interval.

    I've seen some suggestions about this problem online like updating my audio drivers (I tried that & it didn't work), close all unesscesary programs, listen to music when I am not connected to the internet & the cnnection wireless on my laptop is off - none of them have worked.

    If someone else has had this provblem & is there a solution for this?

    Hello

    Hmm, I've never had or heard of this issue. I have the Satellite L300, which is similar to yours and I can't view t no problem with sound I even often listen music.

    In any case, noticed the same problem with external speakers too? I mean if you can determine if the internal speakers causing this problem or something else.
    Check it!

    In addition, I would recommend updated the BIOS you can find on the Toshiba site.
    And what OS are you using? You use the factory settings or you have installed another Windows?

  • Recovery disks does not not for the Satellite L350

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L350, I bought a few years ago

    Originally it was a laptop Vista Home premium and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much without problem.

    But recently something went a bit weird and things were not only works well (he would not always disconnect you and never seemed to stop correctly) and various other applications does not work properly.

    After a few uninstalls, reinstall, scans and patches from Microsoft has done nothing that I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disc.

    I bought a Toshiba when I am the machine initially and had made one myself, before you upgrade windows 7 and a new after.
    I still have the windows 7 upgrade DVD so I can apply after if I had to start back on vista.

    The only other big change has had an upgrade of RAM 4 GB - I still the original of the RAM, if I need it, but before that there is no hardware problem not reported and chkdsk was also very good.
    So for me it was the o/s that was the problem.

    I tried now all recovery discs and they all have the same problem of reports that imagex cannot decompress the second frame of the file because it is corrupted to block 90 I n t have this real message at your fingertips
    but can be updated later.

    I can t see that I m something wrong, like everything I do is to put the dvd in the drive and reboot the laptop with the F12 key to boot from the recovery DVD and follow the screen controls on.
    You use reports from such that previously or I am doing something stupid?

    Thank you

    It's very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation that the HARD drive will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied to the second partition of HARD drive and as the last step is the installation of recovery image.
    > I bought a Toshiba when I am the machine initially and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
    Have you tested the two of them in the past?

    In General, all you do is right. In my opinion, the problem may be recovery image itself or perhaps HDD has some defect in certain areas.
    If you can get the second HARD drive somewhere Exchange it, value default BIOS settings and test the installation of recovery again.

  • Win 7 restore without disk recovery on Satellite L350-277

    Hi all

    I'm trying to fix Satellite L350-277 of my sister-in-law following a HARD drive failing. Before the crash, he was running Win7 Home Premium (32 bit) that was preinstalled on the HARD drive. I managed to run Belarc on it before it went completely, but could not create the restore disc in time.

    Disk failure HARD seems to be due to bad sectors and once failed, could not get past startup repair. While they were inspecting HARD drive (in the USB enclosure), both C: and D: (backup partition) appeared to be intact, so guessed was discussed with MBR. I have used Clonezilla to clone new HARD drive and I'm now work - failure of HARD drive it's always like it was incase I need to clone again.

    With the HARD drive clone, I first tried to use bootrec.exe but some successful how to 'break' C: and could not see anything in the score.

    BTW I am currently using a copy of DVD retail Win 7 to provide the functions of "restore". However the Toshiba restore capabilities do not appear in the list of options. So I decided then to install everything on C: retail copy to see if I could access toshiba restore functions using data in D:, that doesn't seem to work either.

    Then I stumbled on this thread that gave me the hope to be able to start the Toshiba recory tool:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44382

    I was hoping that Vista and Win7 preinstalls would be very similar, but the HARD drive has a recovery partition (D:\ HDDRecovery) and seems to fall in step 13. There are two files boot.wim in this partition: 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\sources\boot.wim' and 'D:\hddrecovery\oddfiles\hddprep\sources\boot.wim '. Imaging either of these files does not cause the file according to the instructions of step 13. Here again, the guide is based around the Vista installation...

    So what I try to do is to retrieve the data from the old HARD drive with the damaged boot record in order to restore the Win 7 OS pre-installed Toshiba. I seem to have the data (old HDD still retains files) do not seem to have enough knowledge now do!

    Can someone help me?

    On the one hand I can understand your wish to install the recovery image, but on the other hand, for me personally, this is nothing but waste your time for nothing. In General, recovery image is designed may not be copied or manipulated so this guy was very lucky.

    Problem is that this recovery disk is not created after the purchase of the laptop.

    Maybe it sounds stupid to you, but I recommend you restore disk original order for this machine.
    You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    It costs 30 Euro only. With this money, you will get original recovery disk that includes the operating system active, all necessary drivers, tools, utilities and a few additional and useful applications.

    Using this disk, you will be able to have perfectly working machine in just 2 hours.

    One more thing: the use of the disc is unlimited and you can use it 1000 times and each time you have enabled and configured perfectly BONE.

  • Cannot repair Windows 7 on the Satellite Pro C650 18U

    Since getting my new laptop Toshiba in October, I had endless problems. It's going to be big, but I guess that relevant to the cause of the problem.

    My first problem with him has come to uninstall McAfee. I was able to do a full restore (it was new so had nothing to lose but time) and got a tool to get rid of everything that McAfee.

    All very well for a while, using AVG free antivirus. It was December before when AVG does an update that causes Windows 7 crash, usually when you sign off the coast. I was not using the machine a lot like Christmas and it seemed to work ok if I turned off, went in safe mode, normally closed then loaded windows normally. At this point, I knew not that the problem was of moy. But due to start working again, I needed to make it work properly, so I spent some time searching online (on my PC) and discovered the problem of the AVG. He had a so bad I could do nothing even in safe mode. By clicking on any AVG associated icon or file crashed the entire system. I found a fix to keep AVG running by renaming a couple of exe.bak of exe files. It worked and the computer was working normally, but I had to get removed AVG that proved impossible because I still couldn't get everything what key of AVG to do anything at all.

    I installed a free trial of an uninstall program, RevoUninstaller. It took most of the day, but finally it has deleted everything. One of the steps is to run the uninstall program of the selected program where he stopped for hours and the next step in the list of all the remaining files showed thousands of hundreds of other files and registry files, so I guess that the uninstall program does not work at all and revo removed all.

    The next day, the computer went well. I installed avast and everything was going well with one exception - the product preinstalled toshiba update program.

    The day after BSOD. I tried startup repair, you have 20 minutes to a black screen with a blinking cursor, possibly a pointer of big white mouse and nothing else. Tried safe mode, when it is run through the list of files, just to stop for a while and had no further. Dug my disk to repair windows 7, put that in, start from it, has had the same problem with the Startup Repair tool, empty large needle on a black screen.

    So what do I do next? I have the windows XP restore disk came with the laptop. I try to boot from that? If I have TO I could still do an another factory restore but I have some files on there and I'm pretty p off would be constantly having to bother with this machine.

    It was suggested to me on another forum that the problem could be with the machine, such as Windows 7 should not have these problems with the antivirus. It is still under warranty.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Yes, you can use the Windows XP disk to install Windows XP on your laptop, but then Windows 7 is removed and t, you can use it, you can expect you reinstall Windows 7.

    Did you create the Toshiba recovery disc to install Windows 7? Using this disk, you can restore Windows 7 to factory settings. This means disk HARD will be deleted and with all the tools and pre-installed Windows 7 driver will be installed automatically.
    Just check your manual for more information.

    But the problem is if Windows doesn't boot you are not able to create this disc
    You can use the recovery disk as described here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    If not and you want to return factory settings you can order a new disc of Windows 7 here:

  • Impossible to use the Satellite L350 recovery disk

    I bought the recovery disc for my Satellite L350-370 followed instructions beginning now stopped program to "waiting for odd vacancies" moment for this strange worked perfectly.

    Laptop only if off now and no keys work.

    Help!

    I really don't understand what is happening here. I used the disc of recovery many times and I've never seen this message.
    By default the BIOS settings and restart your laptop. When the laptop starts up and you see Toshiba welcome screen press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. When the start menu is shown on the screen, place the recovery in the optical disc drive disk. After doing this choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER. What happens when you do this?

    ODD must begin to read the recovery disk and you should see recovery on the screen menu.

  • Initial configuration of the Satellite L350-170 hangs on step 3

    Dear all

    I wonder if anyone can help. I took a laptop Toshiba Satellite L350-170 on Thursday received last week, left turning the battery for 24 hours before using (oh patience!)-he walks from Friday afternoon at around 15:00 and step 1 and step 2 of the initial installation went well. I created my profile login and password. He then started on step 3. Unfortunately I had to leave my office for a meeting, (the laptop is my personal, I got it to be delivered at work), and I guess he went into hibernation or mode 'sleep', because I had to sign in again when I came back to it.

    I decided to leave over the weekend, but this morning, I had to reconnect, and it still occupies in step 3 to the top... it's now under 2.5 hours and it's still step 3 - is it meant to take this long? What IS 3 stage? Installation of the software?

    I'm obviously reluctant to turn it off (certainly a last resort), but it's very, very stupid. every few minutes I turn and move the mouse on the touchpad. Someone at - he encountered this before? What is the bust? Should I turn off and see what happens?

    If anyone has any suggestions I would be extremely grateful.

    Thank you

    I put t know what happened with you for laptop and why the installation doesn t go to the next step and doesn t finished, but I guess something was wrong during installation and now the OS crashes.

    Try to recover again and check if you can complete the installation.
    Press F8 after you turn on the laptop.
    Then choose the option called fix my computer.
    Then a new window opens and there you have to choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

    Well, now the new recovery will begin and the operating system will reinstall again.

In an effort to get rid of him, he tried to restore running. However, the destructive or non-destructive options would work. He received error messages - first ' impossible to reset your PC. A required disk partition is missing ", followed by" the drive where Windows is installed is locked. Unlock the drive and try again "." I managed to find the program that has been the cause of the problem and uninstalled. He asked me to prepare the computer to factory State, but unfortunately, it won't work - it starts, warns that all data will be lost and I confirm that I want to go forward. He then appears to start the process, but almost immediately end displays a message indicating that no change has been made. Where should I go from here?

    You should use recovery discs.

    If the recovery partition is not intact, then there is no other way.

    If you don't have the disks, you can get then by calling your country a specific HP support line.

    My system works with Vista. It's an older model but I had no problems with it until it started to freeze at startup and when using Vista (BIOS outdated?). I got the HARD drive tested and it seems to be operational. "However, when I try to use my restore disks from" he published a "Miscrosoft C++ Runtime Error' after that selection of the restore process - close this window of error leads to restore failed.

    The HARD drive has been formatted before restoring, I don't remember. Could this have damaged the recovery section, as everything I have in the recovery partition is an empty folder of recovery and a pcdr.ini file? Please notify.
