How to access the recovery on Satellite A660 partition?

Help please

I am trying to access my partition recovery on my Satellite A660-18 and I could not find.
I ve done a stupid thing I ve instaled a fresh Win7 to a cd from my friend without touching the hddrecovery partition. Now I have the new copy installed, but I want to go back to the factory one.

It seems from what I ve read on the forums that win7 (being different then the one on the recovery partition) is instaled at present can no longer see the recovery partition (something was delleted when I ve instaled the copy of my friend.).

is there something that I need to replace to start inside or is there a way to fix it?

Thank you.

> I ve instaled a fresh Win7 to a cd of my friend
There is no way to start the installation of HARD drive recovery more after doing this.
You have created DVDs of recovery following advice in the document s user manuals?
If this is not the case, only way to still have factory settings is to order original Toshiba recovery disc. You can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

I'm sorry. :(

  • 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:

  • How to access the Recovery Console

    Hey, it's all messed up with my Toshiba Satellite M40.
    I had a problem with "missing or damaged file" when loading Windows XP.
    Well, I found a solution - boot cd support, press r etc.
    But this manufacturer got that one option - all format and reinstall.
    But I have very important files there.
    All I want to do is to access the recovery console to repair my leader (vga866.fon). How can I do that. Help, please

    Hello

    do not reinstall the entire system. Why you don t try the following:

    Download the 'Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows' tool (UBCD4Win), burn it to a CD, start and then just copy this file located on the CD under X:\windows\fonts on your disk--> C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\

    After that, you should be able to boot your system again.

  • 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)
    -2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB of RAM (667 MHz)
    -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.

    I have already created a new system image on the recovery partition and a system repair disc.

    > can you tell me how to use the recovery discs to recover
    The question is what you want to recover? The whole machine or only the missing files?
    In any case, a partial recovery is not possible, all you can do is complete recovery image installation.

    After the installation of portable full recovery you will have factory settings again, only in this case, you will be able to use without any problem recovery disc creator.

    If you still have some questions you are welcome.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - how to access the installation of Vista hidden partition?

    AHOY!

    I have a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA 2000R

    It had Windows Vista installed when I got it, but after a while, had to reformat, so I did, (I want to reformat my computer every 6-12 months on average), it came only with XP disks even if he got a serial number for Vista on the underside of the laptop so I installed XP. That was about 2-3 reformats there now.

    However, so that finding drivers I've seen mention of a hidden partition to reinstall Vista (which I hope it is 64-bit) and tried to do this several times but unfortunately it does not work, I guess that maybe what XP installation I can accidentally deleted or something? (Thought they had in fact on some solid state memory which could not be written more or something.)

    * Is there a way I can access it, take another that won't cost a ridiculous amount (for example download) or a nice person enough to create an image to download on a site or something that I can download file sharing? *

    I have also a spare copy of Vista (and a bit of XP) on the drive, none of them will work?

    + Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop? Apparently it improved performance on Vista and W7 would be convenient for running on a laptop, and I have also heard say it is possible to upgrade to the full version of the preview or W7 for a minimal cost and would probably be much cheaper than other methods if possible. +

    And I'm actually quite handy with computers, so don't be afraid to throw big words at me,

    (Tried the methods found on the manual on page 3-8 ([link: http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/pro/a300/psagda-02000r/download?os=22]).)

    I have European A300 and I believe that the principle on the rest of the same models.
    A300 was offered with Vista preinstalled but without recovery disc Vista. Image that contains the operating system, drivers, tools and utilities for recovery has been saved on the HARD drive and with book factory owner was able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. It works with the factory only settings.

    With preinstalled Toshiba laptop recovery disk creator owners have been able to create the recovery disk that can be used if the disk HARD recovery doesn't work anymore.
    If you don t have access to this image saved on HARD drive recovery, you must use the recovery disc. If you don t have the disc that you have a problem. Recovery image can not be downloaded. All you can download are the unique rivers, tools and utilities that you can use if you install a clean version of the OS (operating system).
    On the European models, recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder called HDDrecovery.

    Anyway, A300 works with Win7 32 bit. I installed it on my machine and I m very happy with it.
    > Another thing which I am interested in is can I get any of the preview of Windows 8 OS that will run on this laptop?
    I put t know who should give you this overview, but the fact is that you get it from Toshiba. You should check if you can get it in another way.
