Drive recovery by computer dealer

When I buy a computer with a Windows operating system, the seller is obliged to give me a copy of the recovery disc if I want?  Thank you!

Hello

the Ccomputer manufacturer (the seller is normally not the manufacturer if you buy in a store Dept () must provide you with a way to reinstall the operating system to the way you bought

This can be through discs of recovery provided; or as it is much more common these days, by the imagery of a recovery on the hard drive partition during the manufacturing process in your machine factory

you are then responsible to make this recovery partition recovery disks by following directions of computer manufacturers on how to do

and you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process, according to the manufacturer, to turn your machine back to factory settings (like you bought it) by using the recovery partition

Ask them of the exact key sequence

If no recovery disk is provided, only a recovery partition, but the hard drive breaks down and you don't make the recovery discs, you can also ask the computer manufacturer to sell you real for your brand and model of machine recovery disks

they do normally for a nominal cost of $ ($ 30 - $ 80)

    Hello

    The Toshiba Recovery disk can not be downloaded.
    Your R400 should be equipped with the recovery disc and I have no idea why you didn't receive
    This should be a matter for the dealer of your laptop

    However, the recovery disc can be ordered from the Toshiba ASP course you will have to pay for this record

    On the other hand, you could install the OS of your Win XP drive and then you could install XP drivers from the Toshiba driver page!

    Hello together,

    I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.

    Can you help fix the problem.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Hello

    This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
    > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
    Try this

    Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
    That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

    What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

    You can order the recovery discs here:

  • Qosmio F50 - the hard drive recovery?

    Hello

    I had a very big problem.
    I've made a few changes with my Vista regs and then I was unable to start again.
    So, I started the recovery program (second HARD drive), backed up my files and selected whole HARD drive recovery.

    Well, now problem - everything was going well, but when I walked into the Vista installation I had to shut down the computer.
    Now, when I start up the pc and load Vista I message I need to reinstall my computer again.

    Well, they say nothing about how load the recovery file but I have no option for this - only emergency mode, with the support of network, etc., but without recovery emergency. Moreover, when I select emergency mode, I can't load Vista-it says I need to run the Setup in normal mode, which told to re - install. Yep, circle-_-.

    Model: Qosmio F50

    Do you think that when I erase all the Vista disc manually - for example with linux, and then start the computer, I get a possibility to load the second part of the drive to start the installation?

    Thanks in advance because I'm really despair

    How do recover you the laptop?
    Have you used the Toshiba HDD recovery option which could be launched by pressing F8, select fix my computer-> Toshiba Recovery?

    Usually, it is a procedure how to start the Toshiba HDD recovery.

    It was a big mistake buddy because the recovery disk would help you in difficult situations

    I tried to do what he says here (opening the HARD drive recovery process), but it failed. I get the screen where it says
    my pc need to be repaired and nothing was found or can not be found to achieve this.

    Yes, guyes, * please help *. I want my rear disc space and if it is possible to make a recovery disk. As I can access the recovery partition in my computer, can't do a drive recovery here?

    p.p.s. I Satellite S995D-S5374. And there was no disk recovery with it when I bought it.

    In recent years, Toshiba doesn't offer recovery discs with new models of laptops with recovery media must be created by the owner of the laptop. It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

    Recovery media can be created if the laptop has only factory settings. As I see that you have changed the structure of the partitions and that was the big mistake. Of course you can do, but at the first recovery media must be created.

    Please read the last post on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985

    Sorry, but now you cannot create recovery media or start HARD recovery disk image installation.
    If you want to have the recovery disk and use it to recovery image installation, you need to order a new drive for https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Instead of the wizard of recovery HARD drive recovery

    Dear all,

    I would like to re - install the OS on my Satellite Pro T130 laptop without changing the partitions. This is possible with the http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm Recovery Wizard

    However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I think the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.

    I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.

    I tried at least 10 times and it's getting frustrating.

    I bought this laptop in Hungary in 2010.
    I was wondering that Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) on their laptops or older laptops recovery options came with only HDD Recovery?

    If the start procedure with the zero key does not work, what can I do?

    In addition, I understand the difference between HARD drive recovery and Recovery Wizard is as follows: (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

    HARD drive recovery is re-definition of the manufacturer State which means that it removes all the data in each partition. When you turn on the laptop first time computer, a wizard will appear so you can partition the hard drive. As out-of-box + customization option in the Recovery Wizard.

    Recovery Wizard has three options: out of area (described previously), customization of partitions and recovery without changing the hard drive partitions. I want to use this option, so will not delete all the data of the first partition of the hard disk (drive C). Is no data on other partitions like D, E (etc.) readers.

    Am I wrong?

    Thank you for your answers,

    Kind regards

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop this Satellite Pro was offered with the version preinstalled Win7 and Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. Win7 preloaded includes preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool so the laptop owner can create recovery (bootable USB key) media which includes the original image of recovery for Win7. This bootable USB key can be used for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    As I see you have a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery, so my question is: did you create this recovery media? You, and you can use it for installing Win7?
    > However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I only find the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.
    Toshiba HDD Recovery option in the system recovery options will be available if phone has settings to factory only.
    > I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.
    Why don't you use zero to startup? Where did you find the description that you use NRA to launch the installation of HARD drive recovery? I can see in the document validated by Toshiba, you need to use F8 only. When you use F8 and enter advanced startup options is option fix my computer available or not?
    > I asked Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) of the recovery options on their laptops or older laptops with single HDD Recovery?
    All portable Toshiba offered with Win7 preinstalled have Toshiba HDD recovery option but only if they have the factory settings. If the owner of the laptop installation version of the OS option no longer available. In this case, you can install original recovery image using recovery media created.

    From my experience, you should only use the out-of-box option. Be careful with the other options. Recover a custom size partition may lose all the data and recovery image too.

    More important is: you have a recovery (USB or DVD) media or not?

  • Satellite P300 - 20 H - what should I do after HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    I just picked up my Satellite P300 - 20 H, using HARD drive recovery,

    Any ideas as to what I should do now? Laptop backed up, HDD Recovery wiped and returned the laptop to factory default. What should I do now? I never wiped a laptop or a PC before. I did the restore via the HARD disk and all came back when I got the laptop almost 2 years ago but now I have 108 updates to windows, and my Toshiba Tempro does not work.
    I have to update all the drivers on the laptop and if so, how do I know what needs to be updated and how can I do this?

    I went to the Toshiba site and he gave me a list of the drivers available for my particular model but I am not sure how much of these driver updates, I need to actually download and update.

    If someone could help me it would be really appreciated.
    I would be delighted if someone could just explain to me, because I don't know anything about pc / laptop and just want my laptop back to power. So that everything works correctly. I read in the section of the conductors, on toshiba.com that not all windows service packs must be downloaded not all work along the coast Toshiba laptops. So im stuck if I have to download and install updates Windows 108 that are required to be installed also.

    Hope someone can help out me.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    I m wondering about your question: it seems that you have made the recovery of HARD drive but you didn t know what HDD recovery not right?
    As you have noticed, it will restore your computer back to factory settings. You have the same settings that you have purchased. It is therefore useful if Windows doesn t start more or you want to reinstall Windows.

    You can use your laptop as before: there is no difference. All Windows updates should be installed, that's very important because they are security updates day and you help protect your computer. So, start Windows updates and follow the installation.

    Site Web de Toshiba driver updates aren't important, only when you notice problems. If this isn't the case, you can forget the driver updates. ;)

  • Re: Tecra M10 - 10Z - cannot find HARD drive recovery

    After almost three years of use, I decided to re - install the operating system, because the M10 became very slow.
    Now, there's no disc provided (OS is W7 pro 32-bit)... so I did the procedure of F8 startup... but the list of the checkout (after you have entered "repaor PC) ends with"(execute with prompt): no HARD drive recovery! "

    The operating system is absolutely original. The only thing I did was to add a partition to store all my data.
    Can someone help me understand the situation? I'm the only user if my account is 'administrator' t.
    In addition, I do not see the special partition in 'my computer' (never seen) I only have C and E (E is the one I created)...
    Thank you much for the help!

    I don t have this Tecra and cannot say for sure what the problem is here, but it turns out that Toshiba offers an OS preinstalled with recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery recovery image. On some machines, this recovery image is saved on partition small and invisible.
    Everything will be OK until the user changes the structure of the partitions or delete the recorded recovery image.

    To avoid this Toshiba recommends creating DVDs which can be used if the user has the situation that your recovery. It would be much better when you have this drive now. I put t know why you didn't create this DVD.

    In any case, I assume that the recovery image cannot be found because of the structure of the changed partitions or maybe you did anything in the past that have deleted the recovery image.

    Now, all you can do is to install OS own version or one order new recovery image. It can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Does not drive recovery partition creator & data - Satellite L300

    My niece asked me to re - install his Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop computer, because windows setup is a little buggy. She never had a recovery disc. Using Recovery Disk Creator Toshiba I tried to create a recovery disk.

    However, the program would not start. Check the directory of the program, it seems that the program is not just there. Later, I checked the laptop data partition.

    There was a card with HARD drive recovery. However, when using Windows Advanced Boot (F8 before Windows starts) there was no choice to fix the laptop. They have only choices were the standard options of windows (except the normal startup mode, etc.).

    In short, it seems impossible to re - install the laptop with the current information at your fingertips.
    What would be the next course of action? Is it possible to order a Toshiba restore CD?

    Another niece has the same specifications, it would be possible to use this notebook to create a recovery disk?

    I'm going to enjoy and look forward to your reactions.

    Hello

    It seems that something has changed on the HARD drive
    However, the fact is you ve no disk recovery and you can not use HARD drive recovery option.

    This means that you must order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
