Do not have "Toshiba HDD Recovery" on Satellite U300-151 with Vista

I have problem with Vista - it became too slow so I want to get back to factory settings.

I went through the process described in [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm] and then, instead of "Toshiba HDD recovery" as a last option-, I have 'Restore the full Windows operating system' which is the last one after 'comand prompt. When I click on that I get another box with warning by saying "when you reinstall windows OS reformats the hard drive and all data will be lost" and "If the preinstalled files are damaged you can use the product recovery disc (which I don't have)" and there are no other or any button except OK which I click and it just brings back me to the list "System Recovery Option"...

I have Toshiba recovery disc creator no - it was not pre-installed when I bought computer - even if I had all the other software from toshiba.

And I know that I can buy the recovery disk, but I don't think that pay 30 dollars for something that I should have had with the computer: and my computer is still under warranty.

Delivered using the recovery media, you will be able to install Vista.
Recovery image contains all of the drivers, tools and utilities, and after the installation of clean operating system, you should not install some additional software.

Bye and good luck!

  • Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option

    Back to school for 4 children with laptops is a pain, he seems to be constantly before wipe them and their establishment again.

    Any ideas why the Vista recovery disks do not display TOSHIBA HARD drive recovery option?

    I made a USB key and copied all the files from a backup of the Recvery drive to it. The USB displays the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery option but calls for the disks and will not run the recovery of the USB itself. It's annoying, but at least I can still use it to recover the machine.

    I would like to be

    or

    get the USB key to retrieve by using its own files instead of asking for the disks. Vista was not created with the option to recover from USB, so maybe I can't.

    HARD drive recovery option appears not in the advanced boot menu if something has been changed or modified on the HARD disk and the flag was removed.
    For example, this may be the case if the partition has been changed, modified or if HARD drive recovery files or folder has been changed, moved, or deleted.

  • TOSHIBA Power Saver on Satellite A300 PSAGCE with Vista OS

    I just bought my new satelitte, but now I see that the best tool of the old line of Satelite is missing!
    ENERGY SAVING! I am running vista at the moment, but power saver is not what it seems!
    I was wondering if it's true, or it just nog is there in my language!

    If there isn't, I would suggest Toshiba, bring it back, but it is a most useful tool, mutch better then one that is standard on windows vista!
    If anyone has a solution, I would be happy to hear from you of course!

    PS I tried to install the version of windows XP witch that I downloaded from the Toshiba site, but it does not work on Vista of course!

    Hello

    Energy saver is installed under Vista too, and you can find it under:
    Start Options system & maintenance Power Control Panel > select a settings change plan Plan to modify the power Toshiba Power Saver advanced settings V.xxx settings

    As you can see that the parameters are not like before as Windows XP Home edition. The fact is that most of the settings is now controlled by Vista and Toshiba power saver has no great influence in the settings of power as before.

  • Need TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard, but have simply on TOSHIBA HDD Recovery Tool

    Hello world!

    I bought Windows 7 Home Premium OEM SP - 1 preinstaled in Turkey with model Sattelit L675-10z. Corsica, is in Turkish,

    And as I am not Turkish I wanted to find a way to use it in Russian. Toshiba supports service in Turkey told me that they cannot help me with this, so I have instoled program Vistalizator with the Russian language.

    It has been activated Windows without problem and just "authenticity windows 7" were not working. But I had the opportunity to download all the files to update windows without notifications.

    After 6 months of work, my child is delited some .dll files that I understood and also he deleted all the windows recovery points to sistem windows recovery.

    And when I tried to use toshiba HARD drive recovery, I was surprised. Before I got the toshiba laptop with windows 7 (also satelit L series) and it was easy to recover, but http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm I'm shoked. When I try to push button 8 in the bios I have not any TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard... .i have just TOSHIBA HDD Recovery Tool the same situation with button 'Zero' in the BIOS.

    Toshiba Recovery tool do not give me a chance to recover windows fair he also wants to erase all my files in all drives.

    I have also done with Toshiba Recovery Media creator usb charger and you have find it also gives me opportunity just to clear all my files in all computers.

    but I also find there a file setenv.ini with the following parameters.
    [Commune]
    Packer = ImageX
    InstallCMD = \inst.cmd
    FactoryInstallCMD = \facinst.cmd
    PartitionSizeGB =-1
    MinPartitionSizeGB = 15
    DefaultGUILang = English
    NumLang = 1
    Hnum = R13026TE
    [Lang1]
    Lang = TRK
    OS = Windows Win 7
    ImageName = 11898XSP.swm
    ImageIndex = 2
    WinREIndex = 1
    FS = NTFS
    StartMedium = 1

    and 2 files with name boot.wim so I think I can install windows 7 without erasing all my records? and there is also possibility to choose the language?

    Or maybe I should ask toshiba company servise on help?

    Have no idea what to do. Do not want to pay for another license, do not want to lose all my files, and want to use lisansed BONE in my native language or in English.

    Or if that's not possible, I would like to get the Turkish version of windows.

    Thank you
    Natalya

    Hello Natalya

    First some facts for you. I hope that this will help you understand some important things.
    Computers notebooks are specific products of countries and every laptop on the Turkish market is actually for people who use Turk language. In other words, they will get operating system and keyboard for that language.

    Each book is available for some countries of preinstalled language and there is no way to activate a different language. If you live in Russia and use the Russian language you should get Windows7 on your language and install it on your laptop. All the necessary drivers tools and utilities can be downloaded from the Toshiba support page. Of course, to the clean OS install, you must pay for the license of Microsoft. The button down belongs to the original version (Turkish language).

    When you install the operating system using the recovery image of HARD drive you Turk language again and the problem is not solved for you. In my opinion you n t to use this image at all. You can't choose your Russian language and, in general, this recovery mage Turk is useless for you.

    My advice to you if you want to keep this notebook:
    -change the keyboard (Russian language) the nearest Toshiba service for help. they can order and exchange it for you
    -installation disk install Win7 using Microsoft original (Win7)
    -install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities from Toshiba download page the link is on this forum page (support Top sites)

    Please read all this and let me know if you have any other questions.

  • Satellite L650-12 q - Toshiba HDD Recovery does not

    Toshiba Satellite L650-12 q
    Windows 7 64 bit

    I am looking to re - install Windows using the Toshiba HDD Recovery software on my hard drive to restore the computer to factory settings.
    I followed the procedure to do this in the System Recovery Options, but received the following message is displayed:

    "The recovery of the operating system is impossible!
    Not found the HDD Recovery folder on the second disc of the first hard drive. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

    More details:
    Before you do the above, I supported the system and the files and folders using AOMEI Backupper. I then made the mistake of the merger of C: D: and E: partitions, E: contained HDDR files.

    After having tried the recovery above and receive the above message, I reinstalled the file system I had saved on an external hard drive, which resulted in a copy of the drive C: and E: drive with HDDR files.
    Unfortunately, when I tried to recover the operating system, the same message appeared.

    Then I tried to use a system restore disc, I had created a few weeks ago, but concluded that, for some reason that CD is empty.

    The good news is that the computer still works - slowly - and HDDR files seem to be still there, but for some reason, inaccessible.

    What are my options? I want to go back to initial factory settings so that I can go back and re-install the programs and files that I want to. (I backed up all my files and have records of installation for programs).

    If the worst comes to the worst and I have to buy a Windows 7 disc (if that's even possible - I don't want Windows 8), it would be possible to install on this computer and it would give me a clean install, without any of the garbage which is currently cluttering up my computer?

    Thank you for reading, and I would be grateful for any advice you can offer.

    In your case, the situation is clear: HARD drive recovery facility does not work?
    If you want to have the laptop with the settings you have an option only: for recovery image installation you must use the installation of recovery disc.

    If I understand right you don t, entitled?
    But you can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  • NB550D - can't find Toshiba HDD recovery software

    Hello

    Several days ago, I bought a Toshiba NB550D netbook. He had Windows Starter pre-installed, but I wanted to try Linux. I installed Linux and, of course, left the recovery partition. Now, I would return for Windows.

    I would like to restore the software preinstalled on the hard drive, but I can't find the disk recovery software HARD Toshiba which could install on a newly installed Windows and restore the system from the hard drive. Where can I find it?

    I have a whole score necessary for recovery, nothing moves or deleted.

    Enormously grateful for the help
    Toshiba NB550D user

    Hello

    Toshiba HDD recovery software can be launched via the advanced version preinstalled Windows boot menu. In other words, this feature works with OS preinstalled only.

    Now you have installed another OS (Linux) and this means that you can start t HARD drive recovery option more. HARD drive recovery partition is not enough to do.

    Have you created a bootable USB key using the recovery media creator before installing Linux? If so, you can use this stick now to restore the original settings. If you don t have that stick you can order recovery media here:

  • Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

    Hello

    cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
    Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

    Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

    First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
    After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

    Simple disc burning layer without problem.

    Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
    Thank you
    Luci

    Hello

    tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

    I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

    Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

    If you use the Vista operating system then a SP1 should fix this annoying problem.

  • Satellite U300-151 plant of the standby or sleep mode extended when WIFI is turned on

    I have a new satellite U300-151. BIOS V3.80 and Intel version 11.5.0.32 wireless (which seems to be the latest driver). Vista SP1

    When return to work of the standby or hibernation mode laptop still crashes if the wireless switch is enabled.

    I am aware that it is an issue being discussed in a number of forums, but apart from references hopeful to SP1 and drivers, that I have not fallen on a solution. SP1 does not appear to have helped to solve my problem.

    All responses - thanks.

    My knowledge of the SP1 could makes some problems because not all drivers are compatible with the new Vista service package.

    The laptop goes down without installing SP1?

  • Satellite P100-160 with Vista: No TV-OUT after downgrade to XP

    Hi guys hope you can help me out here...

    I recently bought a laptop (satellite p100-160) with Vista on it to know that it was not compatible with wot I bought dethrone so I decided to downgarde for XP Home Edition... Solange decommissioning that I had to install a few drivers like there's do and everything went well...

    Anyway, a few weeks later (yesterday), I went to watch a movie and when I pluged in my tv out cable, I have nothing. I tried to unplug and plug in again a few times but still nothing, it normally switches on in about 20 seconds... So im guessing that either I need to a driver or a Summit.

    Can someone help me out here?

    Thanks a lot

    You n t need a special driver to use the s-video port.
    You must install only the compatible graphics driver.

    How have you tried to switch to the TV device?
    Have you used the FN + F5 key combination?
    You should do this.

    Connect the TV to the laptop using the s-video port. Then select the s-video on the TV and choose the right channel.
    Press the FN + F5 several times until you get a picture on the TV.

    Please note; Don t start the DVD software like DVD win until you have not enabled on TV!

  • Satellite U300-151 - halftone color display

    Everyone,

    I bought a new Satellite U300-151 laptop w Vista 32 bit on board, installed the latest patches (display, bios, etc.) and at some point (unfortunately I can't say where it started) I came for a display problem.

    Namely, color settings are 32 bits of depth and it seems that is not enough colors so it starts to prevaricate objects and their production nickname big pixels.

    When I roll it back to 16-bit, the colors become smoother crapped but also because they are really different from the other screens I have.

    People on this thread of the forum say that it can be connected with the BIOS. I have just flashed the 3.9 most recent so if someone at - there a solution to my problem or just more old BIOS it would be very appreciated.

    Dear Petr

    Satellite U300 laptop is new model with, I think, guarantee valid and the best thing to do is to contact the service provider authorized in your country. They exchange defective hardware component (poster or graphics card).

    Please don't get me wrong, but I don't really see anything that you can do it alone.

    One last thing: if possible please test with external monitor. If the problem persists, the graphics card must be defective and the motherboard should be replaced.
