Equium L10: How to use Toshiba Recovery CD to install the OS

Sorry in advance if this might be a stupid question, but I have not re-installed the operating system for years and don't know how to do.

I think I need to reinstall cause i've got my laptop for almost 2 years and it became too slow with lots of error messages.

Have Toshiba Equium L10 with Windows XP and a recovery DVD. The DVD contains Windows XP? Should I format my laptop first or just insert the DVD and follow the instructions?

And after everything is done all the garbage will be gone and it will contain Windows XP only? And yet one thing I am concerned about my internet work later (I have a cable connected to the LAN) or I will have to do something?

Thank you for all the advice!

Hello Laura

The previous user explained everything very well. For the new operating system installation you must use supplied recovery media. It contains BONES, all the drivers you need and also all Toshiba designed and utility tools.

Procedure recovery takes about 20 minutes, but after that finish you'll still factory settings as the first day.

Regarding your use of the Internet I can not tell you much, but try to connect LAN cable and you will see how it looks like.

  • Satellite Pro L10 - how to use product recovery?

    I've had this laptop for a while, it was done incrementally over the years and now seems to have abandoned completely.

    I can barely open anything without being invited to what program I want to open it with, and web browsing becomes almost impossible.

    I have all the product recovery discs but when I try to use following the instructions 'Insert disc in drive, turn on your PC while keeping the key C' nothing happens, after all a bunch of Eman windows continues to load.

    I'm close to throw this thing out the window (I live in a 3rd floor apartment) but cannont afford a replacement. If anyone can offer me some advice much whatever it is I would be very happy.

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    If I understand you just want to reinstall Windows. Is this good?

    Therefore, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc. As far as I know the old Satellite L10 there is no option of HARD drive recovery, by pressing the C key will not help you.

    So, put the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot up your laptop. Then, go into the BIOS or BIOS boot menu and choose Start from the CD/DVD drive.
    The CD starts and you can reinstall Windows :)

  • How to use product recovery CD-rom?

    How to use product recovery cd-rom on the satellite A40 range?

    Hi Daniel,.

    To use the recovery CD, simply insert the first CD (assuming there are two) in the CD drive and then just turn on your laptop while pressing the 'C' key on the keyboard. This will cause the laptop to load a minimal operating system on the CD that will start the process of recovery of the product.

    You should also be an initial menu that asks you if you want to do a complete system restore or restore 'Expert'. The full restore will delete all of your 'C' drive and will then install the entire system (excluding all the extras you'll have to install afterwards). The recovery of 'Expert' will allow you to partition your hard drive before you install the operating system in the C"" drive.

    Kind regards

  • NB 300 - error when using TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator

    Can someone help me with this problem

    Any help is appreciated
    Thank you in advance

    I found a similar question on the Toshiba U.S. forum > click HERE.

    I also think that the recovery files are corrupted and you need is original Toshiba recovery DVD.
    Is that you get to laptop with OS preinstalled and you should be able to create recovery discs. Try to contact the closest service Toshiba and explain the situation. If you didn t change anything on the system is not your fault and maybe you will get the discs for free.

  • How to use data recovery in memory of "D"? The computer did not contain a wrioter of C/D, so I couldn't make a recovery disk.

    How to use data recovery in memory of 'd' (about 10 GB)?

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask your manufacturer of computers for the EXACT method to restore to factory settings.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

  • How to use reveal all this without losing the work of culture?

    My workflow is to editing and cropping of images. I need the flexibility to perform any order.

    When I use the crop tool, I continue to delete the cropped Pixels unchecked. When I edit the images I want to edit the complete picture, not cropped image.

    If I use reveal all to make alterations on the full image after cropping, I lose my job of cropping. Is there a solution?

    Enter drollery side you could use a path of access to store the current size before calling "Reveal everything", then later on the path as a selection of load, switch to the crop tool and hit.

    Or convert to smart object before you crop, then do the editing in the SO (it could be a potentially significant increase in file size, however).

  • Satellite P100-188: recovery CD will install the SATA drivers on a blank HARD drive

    I was wondering if someone could tell me if my recovery disk would be automatically installs the drivers for SATA HDD on my P100-188, in the case of a hard drive failure total without needing a floppy drive.

    I've never had to use my recovery disc (touch wood), but I have the impression that it works in conjunction with a hidden partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system if and when necessary, I am not mistaken? If I'm so what happens if the hard drive is destroyed and a new disk? A

    s Windows is not integrated SATA drivers I've read on the Internet that would stop dead in its tracks installation if you do not have a diskette at hand drive.

    Someone had to deal with this problem?

    Hello

    Yes, the restore CD installs everything you need in a single step.

    The point is that the Toshiba Recovery CD is not the same as an original CD of MS Windows. The restore CD contains an image. It s a Pack that included OS Win, Toshiba drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    So, using the CD recovery will install all the applications mentioned, as well as the SATA drivers ;)

  • Portege R500: Cannot restore Vista using Toshiba recovery disks

    I downgraded Vista to XP loaded factory.
    However, I would now like to restore back to Vista.

    I have disc 1 & 2 ' product Recovery DVD-Rom; Portege R500 disks.
    They are also marked "Windows Vista Business (SSD/PATA)" has been provided by Toshiba.

    I don't know how to use these discs to restore my operating system to Windows Vista. When I insert disc 1 and after loading some files, a message "cannot read the file source or disk - Preinst2.SWM" and I can not go any further.

    An instruction step by step would be greatly appreciated

    I wonder why you receive two recovery disks. As far as I know Toshiba Vista Recovery image is stored on a DVD.
    Perhaps you have received two CD

    In any case, have you tried to boot from the second disk? I mean the second recovery CD?

    Usually, recovery is not very sensitive. You must boot from the disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

    The error cannot read from the source file or disk - Preinst2.SWM looks like a little to the Conference on disarmament would not readable or the CD/DVD drive would not read the disc properly.

  • How to use my recovery for re instill my sys?

    Hello

    Dear Sir

    appreciate your efforts to help me because I faced a problem with my PC and I don't have enough time to go to the Tochicha TS in our region and I asked our company that I worked to instill more surgery until I can go to the TS for this problem, but still now I don't have the time to do and I can't use recovery to deliver my PC to the first factory set with the original operating sys. I've used.

    So my Question is: How do I use my recovery re breathe my sys, but I used another version in my PC, inform:

    My lap top is: Satellite L655-18 t
    Operating system
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 32-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)

    and I'm using Windows® 7 unlimited but not yet activated because I used my series Windows® 7 Home Basic for use as a temporary solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Generally if you want to have the factory settings again you can do this on two tracks:
    -using the HDD Recovery mode will not work if you have installed the version of the own BONE
    -using the recovery DVDs

    You have created DVDs of recovery following the instructions in the user s manuals document?

  • How to use a recovery disc?

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba M300 yesterday and the first thing I did was create the recovery of 2 DVD disc. However, I don't know how to use it just in case I ever need.

    Whenever I put the disc in the drive it opens and I see a whole bunch of files and I don't know what they are. The recovery disk is supposed to act as a windows installation disk?

    How to use it?

    The previous forum used it well described. You must start your laptop and set up the CD/DVD as first boot device. When the facility starts just follow the on-screen menu.

    Please initialize with the number of DVD 1.

    If you have any other questions please post again.

  • Satellite Pro U400-12y: how to use HDD recovery after the new installation of the OS

    Dear Sir

    I have the Satellite Pro U400-12y and give tem my friend use it when he gets back, the laptops it do format c: and reinstalled new windows.
    I try to do the recovery only by pressing f8 without answering.

    How can I recover my laptop to its state of origin as drive HARD recovery again in d:
    Thanks in adv

    Hello

    You will not be able to restore the factory settings because another operating system has been installed on the first partition.
    Usually by pressing F8 immediately after the laptop has been powered should allow the advanced on-screen menu. Here, you should choose option called repair my computer and Toshiba Recovery HARD drive.

    But if this doesn t work then you will not be able to use HARD drive recovery.
    In this case, you will need to order the new CD from here:
