Failure recovery system Toshiba HDD on Satellite L300D

I recently bought a new L300D Satellite and then quickly get it infected with a virus.
I had nothing on the computer that I couldn't afford to lose, so rather than try and difficulty I decided to restore the system to factory State.

I started the wizard of HARD drive recovery and I think that I interrupted early in the process (because I needed to move the laptop and would not be able to leave it plugged in the end).

When I tried to start the process again, I get an error shortly after the start. The wizard starts with the preparation of the partitions, and then gives me an error:
ERROR: F3-FF00-0020
An error has occurred.
Please press OK to turn off the computer.

What happens here? What are my options?

Thank you.

Bad memory could be the cause.

    Hmm... for me, it seems that the laptop does not start from the disc (DVD), but it attempts to boot from the HARD drive...

    In any case, have you tried to boot from another disk; for example, Win XP, Linux Live CD?
    To do this, and check if it is possible... If Yes, format the HARD drive and try to boot from the recovery again disc!

    PS: Have you tried a HARD drive recovery option?
    Turn on the unit, press F8 and choose fix my computer
    After that, select Toshiba HDD recovery option if possible.

  • 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.

  • Re: System failure recovery loop in Satellite A450D - 11H

    Due to a sequence of boot very slow (up to 15 minutes), I decided to restore (recover) of the system back to factory settings.

    I tried to recover the disk and disks created from the on-board recovery system.

    In each case I went as far as "the system for the first time starting" and restarts the finalisation of the seized auto installation files

    After the reboot, it goes back to the "the system for the first time starting" and the finalization of the installation files.

    This loop is continuous and everything I try (including the BIOS change I can't correct the installation.

    -Which indicates a hardware failure?

    HELP PLEASE

    Hello

    Hmm maybe something went wrong shot during the test of recovery simply repeat the installation again
    Start Notepad, press F8. Then choose fix my computer, then select Toshiba HDD recovery.
    Then follow the instructions on the screen

    I think that there's only a software issue, but of course I could be wrong too

  • Satellite L550D I do not see the "Toshiba HDD Recovery"

    Hello

    I was going to use the disk HARD recovery described here link: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm when you try I don't see why the "Toshiba HDD Recovery"?

    Hey Buddy,

    You have installed another operating system or is still the preinstalled Windows 7 in Toshiba original?

  • 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!

  • Satellite L50 - Has: Toshiba HDD recovery does not

    I want to drive HARD for Windows 10 recovery, I put all my files on other partitions, I was hoping to see & do "recover without changing the hard drive partitions", but when I turned on my PC and now at 0, it did not open any software TOSHIBA recovery...


    I do not have the boot on this screen settings button... And image recovery system application that I use the windows installation DVD...

    BTW I have the partition recovery on this computer:

    As I see you did a typical mistake as many other people.
    When you get the new notebook with the original version of the OS and before starting to do some experiments you do backup recovery image and create media recovery (DVD or USB).

    If a problem occurs, you can use this support and install original recovery image. You say that your laptop is now in ruins. Yes, you're probably right about that. After the original upgrade win recovery options will be overwritten and disk HARD recovery option is not possible.

    Your only mistake was that you did not backup recovery image.
    Now, all you can do is contact Toshiba and order original recovery media. You can do so under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite L300D - necessary recovery image

    Hello

    I'm trying to restore my laptop to factory settings. It's a Toshiba Satellite L300D and recently it has been infected by the virus of security 2011 windows vista.
    It still works in SafeMode with networking, and safe mode but I n t want to run the risk of more. I tried years ago to make a recovery DVD, but it never worked.

    Now, I tried to retrieve from the hard drive, but he said, he cannot locate HDD 1 and recommended to try to remove the partition numbers which is something that I put t really understand.
    Anyway that I can't get back to factory settings.

    Is this what can I do to get my hands on a recovery image or address this issue. Any help welcome. Thank you

    Recovery image is designed for the specific cell phone model.
    Recovery image contains the operating system, all the drivers needed for some hardware platform and all the other extra stuff like tools and utilities.
    You can try to install this image of recovery of your brother, but I can't say for sure it will work 100%. It can happen that OS load and after a few seconds the blue screen.

    Look, if you like your laptop and you want to use some time, pay the 30 euro for the original recovery disc and problem is solved.
    Otherwise, I must say that this old L300D works well with Windows 7 then maybe it would be a good solution for install you Win7 and have much better OS than Vista old. It is, of course, the most expensive option.

    At the end is only your decision what to do.

  • Re: Satellite L300D - HARD drive with unknown password recovery?

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300D of second hand to a colleague and went on to restore its framework Moose per HARD drive recovery according to the guide of Toshiba
    Link: [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm]

    I get to part 3 and find a current user name, to which the previous owner has no knowledge of, or a password in order to continue the process. Does this mean that the previous owner has locked the recovery process or there at - it a way to recover the system without the password?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, you could ask the colleague to the password ;)
    HARD drive recovery is possible if you know the password, otherwise everyone could perform HARD drive recovery and would not be without danger.

    Alternative, you can use the Toshiba recovery disc. It will be the same as the drive HARD recovery, factory settings will be restored too.

  • Satellite L300D-200 - I can do a system dual boot?

    Hello

    My toshiba satellite OS is Windows Vista Home premium.
    Does anyone know if the satellite L300D can have a dual boot of Windows Vista home premium and the Linux operating system?

    Hello

    Why it shouldn't be possible to make a system dual boot?

    You can install a Linux distro without problem. What distribution do you want to install? If you want Ubuntu I can recommend the Wubi Installer. This tool is very easy to use because it installs Ubuntu as a Windows application.
    But of course you can also use another Linux distribution ;)

    Last but not least, let me give you a tip: before installing something, make sure you already burned the Toshiba recovery disc. If a problem occurs, you can restore the factory settings every time.

    Good bye

  • How to check the Toshiba HDD for the failures and bad sectors?

    Hello

    I didn't really know where post this so im sorry if it's completely irrelevant to anyone, but I have an Alienware laptop and they can not help me (I know what your what to think he done here then?) so I was wondering if anyone knew a software that allows me to check the Toshiba HDD for bad sectors and failures etc.

    I used Hitachi Drive fitness test, but it will not help other that say there are critical and even with the seagate software, all mistakes two loading floopy. It would really help, and I couldn't find anything on the part of the customer support site. The answer probably lies with Alienware, but I can't contact them by phone right now...

    Thanks Khaloi.

    Hello

    The easiest way is to use the Windows operating system error checking option.
    Please go to the "My Computer", right-click on the drive and choose Properties.
    In the 'Tools' tab you will find the error checking. Here, you can mark them automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  • Recovery Disc Creator Error - Satellite L300D

    Hello

    First of all, sorry for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. About my technical problem is very simple: I use Toshiba Satellite L300D-13 b with Vista 32 bit. I tried to create a recovery using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator disc, but when I start the program (Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator) gives me this error:
    "Cannot find the HDD Recovery folder on the second disc of the first hard drive. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer.

    How can I create my recovery disk?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    New Toshiba laptops are delivered without recovery CD/DVDs and using Toshiba Recovery creator tool, you must create one. Toshiba has delivered laptop with factory settings. that means recovery image is recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery.

    When you start the creator Toshiba Recovery tool it contains the data of this file and burn it to support empty. If this file is removed or deleted the application clearly says the file / data that is / are missing.
    I don't know what you've done in the past, but now, you will not be able to create this recovery DVDs.

    You can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    Of course it is not for free and you pay for it.

  • How do I use the recovery folder on the HDD repair Satellite A300

    Hi all

    I have Toshiba satellite A300, model No. PSAGCE-00C006AR,.

    My operating system is windows Vista Home premium.
    Recently, I was working on battery when my system is closed.

    When I connected charger and power he found that the display shows the message (Please wait) forever and does not allow me to enter my password.
    When I press the power button to shut down my PC and reboot in safe mode, I can enter my password and connect to my PC, and however, when I connect to the PC shows only black screen with pointer and nothing more.
    Start button does not respond, the icon my computer or all other icons do not appear on the desktop.

    I did the following steps in trying to repair my PC: -.

    1 I restarted my PC in safe mode with command prompt, you try to run chkdsk/r, however I got the error message that the disk is protected and that I can demand that it runs at the next reboot. I typed Y and restart, but chkdsk does not work although I restarted 2 times.
    2 I restarted my PC and select advanced option then startup repair problem, then I got the message that no problem was found.
    3 I also tried Toshiba HDD recovery, but could not find any folder recovery although there is about 1.5 GB partition that has everything.
    4 I tried the windows complete PC Restore, but I received a message that (a valid backup not found)
    5 that my PC is come without recovery CD, so I borrowed an and restart my PC from the CD and repair selected... etc, however I got the error message that the disk is write-protected once again.

    Any advice how I can get my rear work system will be appreciated and how do I use the recovery folder on the HARD disk and avoid the write-protected message?

    Hello

    Of course I don't know what the problem is exactly, but I'm confused on a few other facts.
    The fact is that Toshiba has created the reminder that informs the user on the first day that Toshiba doesn't offer the recovery DVDs and it is recommended to create such a DVD support immediately.

    Question about you: you created this recovery media?

    The Toshiba recovery image has nothing to do with the WinRE Vista 1.5 GB partition. Partition WinRE Vista feature. On new models of laptops Toshiba recovery image is saved in folder HDDRecovery on the second partition. If touch you didn t and if you didn t change anything with partitions you should be able to install Vista using this recovery image.

    After your computer is turned on press F8 and choose the first option (if available) computer repair. You can enter the Vista System Recovery Options. The last option should be Toshiba Recovery. If you didn t change anything, this option will be available.

    Hello

    I don't get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know if Satellite L300D is provided with the recovery disk?

    As much I know computers made from the middle of 2007 aren't provided with the operating system recovery disks. How can I find out what year my satellite is made?

    Thank you very much

    All new models of laptops including your are delivered without the recovery DVDs.
    Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.

    Akuma is right. "You need to create a recovery media using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut that you can find on the desktop. Please do so and for the creation of recovery media I recommend you to use media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.

    You can install OS using the F8 key at startup to the top. The guideline how to proceed you will find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Note please. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install another operating system on the first partition. the second partition can be in original condition, but this F8 option will be gone.

    If you have any other questions please let me know.
