  Hello

  I searched but did not find all related messages, I start a new thread.

  I have to fix the MBR and normally you can do this via the recovery XP and then Console "fixmbr". As you may know Toshiba Recovery DVD know only in a sense - the way hard "format hdd or first partition".

  * How can I fix the MBR on the standard MBR MS when no original XP installation disk/DVD is usable - Toshiba Recovery DVD are available
  tried the XP CD from my office... but you know... it doesn´t work.

  Additional information:
  I deleted my HARD disk partition table and cannot access the first partition to a partition that would be very useful that I could try to recover this partition later - but I can't. My A200 SatPro also comes without floppy disk but can boot from USB.

  Thanks for any answer!

  Best regards
  Andreas

  Yes, the thing with the recovery console fixmbr should do the trick, and I am a bit surprised that your XP from your other computer disk does not work.

  You are not able to boot from it, or what is the exact problem? Because you will not be able to repair with your recovery disk.
  Advise you to try another original XP disc, may borrow from a friend and try again. You may need to change the boot priority to operate.

• Re: Satellite Pro L450D - 12 X - how to access the recovery partition?

  Hello

  I've formatted Windows 7 with a Windows XP CD but did not setup. I wanted to know how to access the recovery partition to set it by default, everything exists on the laptop right now is Ubuntu, but I don't know, I saw an additional partition that must contain recovery files as laptop did not come with a recovery disk and unfortunately did not create a filter.

  How can I access the recovery partition on the laptop having in mind, I formatted the drive Windows 7 was installed on or should I activate or something like that?

  Any help much appreciated

  Hey,.

  On the second partition of your laptop (data partition), you will find a folder named HDDrecovery and it contains recovery files. The problem is that you can use the HARD drive only with the pre-installed operating system recovery feature. It would mean in your case it s too late now and it s not in use anymore.

  You have created the Toshiba recovery disc as mentioned in the user manual? If Yes, you can use this disk to restore to factory settings. Just boot from this CD and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order it here:

• When I try to access the Recovery Console, "Welcome to Setup" screen does not appear and it asks me to install on a partition... Help

  My office has the continuous loop reboot of Windows XP SP3 ("UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" STOP 0x000000ED - 0x8A8EB7B8). When I put my Windows XP Pro installation CD to access the recovery console to make the steps required to solve the problem. The "Welcome to Setup" screen ever comes back to press 'R' to arrive at the RC. Instead a screen comes up that says, "the following list shows the existing partitions and space unpartitioned on this computer." Then, he gives me the ability to press ENTER to install Windows XP, press C to create a partition, or D to delete a partition.

  Why can't I to the Recovery Console to fix the reboot loop?
  Most importantly, I lost some data on my hard drive? If it won't let me even get to the RC?

  3. Type "chkdsk/r" and press "enter." CHKDSK will analyze and repair your hard disk. Type "Exit" once this process is complete.

• Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?

  Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.

  F8 does not work.
  F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.

  Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.

  However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.

  To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
  Local disc (c :))
  Data (d :)) 42 GB free of 54.5 GB
  WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)
  Boot (x :)) 29.0 MB of free space of 31.5 MB (which is used by the repair disk)

  So the C: drive is listed, but without ability.

  * CHKDSK *.
  CHKDSK c: /r and press return

  «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
  Unable to determine the status and version of the volume. CHKDSK is abandoned.
  Cannot transfer messages saved in the journal of the events with the 50 State.

  * Run TESTDISK *.

  Analysis:
  Size of the partition start end in sectors
  1 P Windows RE (store) 0 32 33 191 89 26 3072000
  2 * HPFS - NTFS 191 89 27 7477 118 1 117051392
  3 P HPFS - NTFS 7477 118 2 14592 190 62 114307072 (data)

  * = Primary bootable
  When you perform a quick search, then P - list of files, the second partition it reports:
  "Cannot open the file system. Filesystem seems damaged. »

  So what I want to do is boot to Windows restore to drive E.

  My question is for Toshiba experts: If F8 does not work how to use the recovery partition?

  Laptop is:
  Part number: PSAF5E-002005KS
  Main features
  -Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2310
  -Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
  -Drive DVD Super Multi (Double Layer)

  -15.4 "WXGA TFT display 1 280 x 800

  > THIS ISN'T MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, AND GOOD PRODUCT DESIGN.
  I really put t know that should do better than to place the Microsoft sticker at the bottom.
  This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.

  In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.
  > So my question still remains: can I recover my Toshiba laptop using this restore partition?
  If you want to recover using the Toshiba recovery image response is not. Cannot start HARD drive recovery facility.
  > Even with a dvd of Windows Vista is genuine, I can't reload the OS
  In my opinion you need make the clean OS installation using the clean installation or order original Toshiba Recovery disk on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install original (already active) recovery image.

• Portege M200 - unable to access the recovery console

  Hello

  Yesterday my software anti-virus let me know that a virus was trying to access my computer, had quarantined it and claimed a reboot of my Portege M200 to remove it completely. Restart, the laptop is not actually restart and just hung. It gets past the Toshiba window and crashes. I tried to start in safe mode but nothing helped. It starts to load files and crashes to a particular system file that is obviously now corrupt. I tried to enter my recovery console using Windows XP Recovery discs, but was unable to do so. The discussions on this forum have been useful, however I still have not solved the problem.

  I have my product recovery DVD-ROM, but I'm afraid to use it as the next warning with her said that reformatting will lose all my work and I do not know if it will automatically reformat my hard drive (which I have no back ups of my work) or I will give a choice? Also, I see BONES of your forums, that it will correct not actually of corrupted files. I've also seen queues to make an image ghost on a floppy drive but I don't have a floppy drive on my Portege M200.

  Can someone please provide me with the steps to solve this problem, as I am of 11 hours trying to solve this problem, but nothing helps!
  Thank you

  You are right about image recovery. Recovery image is designed to clean BONES only and there is no option for the repair of the BONE. What you can try is to get the disc of Microsoft WXP installation and Startup Repair option.

  I hope this will help you and you will be able to boot OS preinstalled. If it will work on the first back up all your important data.

• No system boot, how to access the recovery partition?

  Hello
  While messing around with win7 and xp (from vista that was preinstalled on my system), I managed to make my computer unbootable.

  I made the recovery discs when I came to my computer, but I left with my parents... which is be the other side of the world (literally).

  However, I also kept the "recovery partition" intact, I hoped I could start somehow, but I don't know how.
  I tried holding down the zero, F2, F8... of other ideas?

  If not, is there another way to do it from a live CD? (like the one I currently use to write this message)

  Chris.

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to access the files for recovery. It can be done if the laptop has only factory settings. You use updated the system with two operating systems. If you want to have the factory settings again you can have with using the recovery disc only.

  I put t know how long it will take but maybe you should communicate with your parents and ask if they can send you the recovery disc as soon as possible.

  Otherwise you will have to use the installation disk of Microsoft for clean operating system installation. It can also be good solution for a few days until what you expect of original disc.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - how to access the recovery partition

  Hi all

  I have a L30 (psl33e) who has the tact recovery partition, but I can't find how to access.

  I don't remember a CD recovery and thought that now zero or F10 key when turn the laptop would allow me to recover the system.

  If I need a recovery CD to access the partition then where I'd get that?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Ben

  Hello

  I think your L30 Sat was not equipped with a HARD drive recovery option and there is therefore no partition of HARD drive recovery!

  If your laptop would supports the recovery of HARD drive then it should be able to restore this laptop by pressing the F8 key immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
  Then you can choose the option to fix my computer.

  But as I said above, I doubt that this L30 it would support because as far as I know the recovery disk must be sent with the notebook.

  If you don t have a recovery disc, then try this site:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  If you will be unable to order the disk using the above Web site then contact ASP in your country to a recovery DVD.

  Good bye

• How to access the recovery partition?

  My computer is SR1950nNX. The OS was Winxp media center. The aircraft crashed and since I don't use Media Center that much I reinstalled Windows XP pro, formatting the drive on the way. The recovery partition is still available, but I can't access it since I hit F10 when booting takes nowhere. I must have wiped out the Recovery Manager. I tried to download a recovery on HP site without success Manager. Can someone help me to reinstall the original system of the recovery partition?

  Thanks for the info. I think now I'll try to make a recovery disk using a linux boot disk as Hiren or Knoppix or Ubuntu even running from a live capture recording programs in the recovery partition and see if there isn't a way I can get to start. If the I386 file has a file winnt32.exe, which starts a new installation, I'm home free. For completeness of information, I will post what happens.

  How can I access the Windows Recovery Console. The State of KBs Microsoft it may be accessessed to start with the DVD of the OS. However, you provide OS DVD only Toshiba recovery disks. When I boot them it gives only the option to erase all data and restore the original state.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio F10 running Windows 7 32 bit.

  The reason why I need the recovery console is due to a breakdown of chkdsk which results now it running whenever I start up and hanging each time. Other Articals MS say I can get out of this infinite loop by using the Windows Recovery Console.

• How to configure "allowremovablemedia" parameter in the recovery console?

  Hello

  I recently traded a 2.5 "portable laptop HD to a new computer in order to retrieve some files. When I got to the Windows logon screen, he said I would need activate windows, before I could access the files. It now not even longer shows up this message so it connects me automatically power off when you I connection. Seeing as how I don't have another computer to place the HD, I decided to just copy the files from the HD to another location in the recovery console.

  Unfortunately, the default recovery console not allow copying the files to removable media and I read that there is a parameter of the recovery console to enable the copy on removable media 'set allowremovablemedia = true' but I also heard that is not accessible without first log on as an administrator and change some settings for security policy.

  Because the way I can't log in as administrator (or anyone else), I was wondering if there are other options to be able to copy files to removable media in the recovery console.

  The answers would be greatly appreciated.

  Create free Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and boot your computer from this CD.  AprΦs the dΘmarrage, you will have full access to your hard drive and removable USB drives or network storage.  The CD is also easy to create that downloading a ".iso" file then the function 'Burn Image' of any burning program allows you to burn a bootable CD.  You may need to use another computer to download/burn this CD.

• How should I proceed with the Recovery Console?

  I was stuck in the loop of safe mode. F8 has me on the screen "Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure".  From there, I got the blue screen.  It read "unmountable_boot_volume". Also, the background reading, "Stop: 0 x 000000ED (0 x C0000032, 0x00000000, 0x82B69E30, 0x00000000).»  restaring, brings me to the loop.  I was able to get to the recovery console with a manufacturer to reinstall the drive. I now have a c prompt.  What should I do now?

  Are you go in the XP Recovery Console using the unspecified manufacturer reinstall disk?

  You must run a chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.
