Cannot retrieve Satellite L300 using HARD drive recovery option

Hello

I'm trying to restore to factory settings but have no luck.

I tried pressing F8 when the toshiba logo comes back, it goes to the screen of boot in advance and I select computer repair and it boots to windows. I don't get the recovery options.
I also tried pressing zero when switching on the laptop just rings home.

What im I doing wrong?

It is a vista running L300-149

As I see all you do is right.
Turn on your laptop and press F8 several times and you will enter the Advanced startup options

The first option should be repair your computer and after two or three steps, you should see The System Recovery Options , and last option there Toshiba recovery.

Have you used this recovery options in the past or you are trying to use it for the first time?

    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 A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

    Hello, this my phone trees.
    I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
    Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
    PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
    QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
    Thanks in advance.

    More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

    Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
    You've misunderstood with username and account.

    Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
    Now, you have two options:
    -to order the new recovery DVDs or
    d ' use the clean install of the OS.

    What do you think of this?
    To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

    I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

    If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  • Satellite U400 - cannot find HARD drive recovery option

    I'm doing a full recovery from the computer by using the HARD drive recovery procedure, but the problem that I can not find the entrance (to fix your computer) when I press F8 after you restart the computer.

    My laptop is: Toshiba Satellite U400-144
    Model: PSU40E - 03P00WAR

    Kindly advice what to do.

    Hello

    Normally, you can start the drive HARD recovery function if you press the F8 key to go into the advanced boot menu. After that, select Repair my computer and in the next window, you can choose the option of Toshiba HARD drive recovery.

    By the way: which OS you have installed right now? HARD drive recovery is possible on a preinstalled OS to Toshiba!

  • 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 L300-17I - hard drive replacement

    Hi, I have a few questions.

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17l as I have already written. My internal HARD drive is broken. He has some bad sectors, and I do not know how to isolate them so that I could use the rest of the hard disk! Can you help me and why I can't install Windows 7 on drive D, it only allows me to install on the C partition?

    And another question: my HARD drive is MK2552GSX but I can not find it on the market, so I ask is it ok if I buy a MK2565GSX? He would be able to me contruction the present MK2552GSX with MK2565GSX or it is impossible? I mean, is this compatible with my main card drive or not? and if not you know witch drives comatible?

    Thank you! :)

    Hi Dimitar,

    To be honest, if your hard drive has bad sectors it s time to replace because it s not advisable to save all data on it.

    With regard to the new HARD drive: you can install all models I think. Is important that you buy a model of 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface but each HARD disk will work so it s not making not specific.
    So, you can buy the Toshiba MK2565GSX you found :)

  • Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
    A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
    Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

    I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
    Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
    Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

    Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

    And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

    Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

    > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
    This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

    This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

    > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

    HARD drive problems are always difficult.
    In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
    But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

  • Re: Cannot open a session after HARD drive recovery

    Hey once again!
    I recently made the recovery of HARD drive, but when I turn on the computer, I'm trying to connect the user to the administrator. But it is a message that says ' your account is blocked. Contact the system administrator ". What should I do? There is no other account to connect to, just a "another user"-thing. But I do not have another user?
    I can't do another cover, because when I press F8 there is no option that says "computer repair", just safe mode, the debug etc.» I have recovery disks, but they do not work either.
    There is no one else who was using the computer.

    Help is appreciated!

    Hello
    Glad to hear the problem is solved.

    Hello

    Satellite or Equium P200D series was equipped with SATA HDD.
    This means that mobile supports the SATA HDD controller, which means that we must avoid any physical limitation.

    Usually, you can use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA
    But I think that 320 HARD drive should be good enough
    What do you think?

  • Satellite L500-1XL: catering on the day of the purchase using HARD drive recovery

    Is this possible?

    I'm trying to restore my laptop to this day of purchase (only a month today). From what I see on the forum, I'm just in a long line of us discovered that the version of our recovery DVD does not match the product we bought. This is why I would like to restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    () This brand of righteous 'aid' is subjective, condescending and above all and most relevant to this forum is useless. "I don't understand why you don't save up to 5,000 copies the day of purchase"... etc. We all make mistakes, and if you have done one, you're going to do on new. It's nice when the person we meet at this time is not pointing the finger of judgement)))

    > So, I would restore the 64-bit version (without the option out of order price of recovery media that is shockingly overpriced compared the offer from Microsoft to switch to DVD 64-32 / 32-64 bit more shipping costs).

    The laptop came pre-installed with Win 7 64 bit. In addition, you have the recovery disk Toshiba version of Win 7 32 bit.

    Please take a look in the user manual.
    He says that you can create a recovery in addition to the operating system which was pre-installed disk. means Win 7 64 bit.
    There should be a Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator called preinstalled tool. This tool allows to create own 64 bit Windows 7 new recovery disc.
    After you create this disk, you can use it to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase.
