How to avoid ruining the recovery on Satellite L550 partitions

Hi all

I recently bought the Satellite L550/010. I'll put another OS on it, but I want to assure you that I can still retrieve its state of origin. It came with the following partitions:

First partition (1.5 GB): contains the directories 'Boot', 'recovery', 'System Volume Information' and 'bootmgr', file 'WinREPartition.ini '.
Second partition (454GB): looks like windows C:
Third partition (11FR): contains the directories 'bin', 'boot', 'images_boot', etc. and files 'bootmgr', 'data.ini', 'editaf.bat', etc.

So, my questions:
What is the role of each of these partitions? Those who can remove and still be able to use the method of "restoration of the recovery partition? Who can remove and always use the method of "restoration of recovery disks?

Thank you.

Hello

above all, don't forget to make a recovery disk.

> What is the role of each of these partitions?
> First partition (1.5 GB)

This recovery utility that begins d image to local hard drive file recovery

> Second partition (GB 454):

There is a partition where to install your current operating system

> Third partition (11FR)
This is the folder of hard disk image to restore the factory settings of.

Installation of any other Os will move partition and you will not be able to restore the factory settings by using hard disk image file (F8 at startup). This is why I advise you to burn a recovery disk if you decide to install another Os. In this case, a recovery disk will restore factory settings

Please could you give me some tips to update (or replace) the recovery as well as Win 7 Pro partition becomes the default o/s, and all software and drivers Toshiba Satellite L750 are included (bluetooth and wireless software & drivers, etc).

    > 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.

  • Re: Cannot use the recovery on Satellite L505D partition

    Hello.

    I am trying to help a friend with their Satellite L505D who had a serious virus problem. I wasn't able to run/install programs with the virus on it. I used a Microsoft tool to remove the rootkit trojan, but I always had problems with viruses. I also lost most of the programs on the computer. All folders were empty (except for some games), so I could not access all of the tools in this way. I could not the machine to load any Toshiba restore utility by pressing zero everything with power. I saw some recovery using F8 during the startup options and had a link to restore the original setting of Toshiba, but clicking that choice has done nothing else a break for a few seconds. I waited several minutes, clicked on it again, rebooted and tried. Nothing. As a side note, once all the while, the recovery partition was visible from explorer.exe. Not before or since.

    So I reformatted the computer with a 64-bit Win7 Home Premium Upgrade disk (the partition of restoration by leaving intact) and then enter the key for the system. Supprise, supprise, it asks me to activate within 3 days.

    My basic question is, can I access this partition recovery in a different way to use it? IE copy its contents, or start on some comand prompt to log e:?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    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.

    Hi Santo

    If you use the advanced search of this forum you will find a lot of comments on a similar theme!

    In any case, I'll explain it once more ;)
    Usually the recovery CD, you can get the Toshiba ASP. BUT you bought the laptop in China. In this case you will not be able to order the CD image of Toshiba in the English language. You can only get a restore CD in the same language, where you bought the laptop.

    But if you want to have the English language operating system, install the Windows from the original CD of Microsoft English.
    You can download Toshiba drivers and utilities form the Toshiba site and install it.

    Hello!

    If you need a recovery disk, you have to options.
    You can go to a local ASP and request a new or order you one directly from Toshiba.
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Or you are using a Microsoft installation disc and download all the drivers from Toshiba tools but it takes a little more time.

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

  • How can I access the recovery on my Satellite L500D-00F partition?

    Hi, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L500D-00F delivered with Windows 7 Home Premium and my OS is not working properly so I need to boot from the recovery partition, but I can't find a way to do...

    =============
    FULL ARTICLE: P
    =============

    The first startup launched the hidden restore partition and I followed the procedure to install the OS of the computer.

    At one point he asked me if I wanted to 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7, so I choose the default option (32 bit) because I couldn't find anywhere in the specifications of L500D of the merchant that is was a 64-bit processor.

    After the installation of the computer, it started Windows 7 properly and I could hear the startup sound, see my office for a second and the screen went black, nothing worked at all and I discovered that my computer was actually a unit of 64-bit, so that is probably why the video driver does not work properly, I guess. Whenever I start my laptop, I see my desktop for a second then it goes black and crashes like this.

    ====================
    END OF THE STORY: P
    ====================

    In any case... I want to restart this recovery partition and reinstall my operating system using the 64-bit version.

    How can I boot from the recovery partition on my L500D-00F... AND PLEASE don't tell me to hit F8 during the startup, I already tried this and NO I don't have a "Repair" option The first is 'Safe mode' and there is no option 'Fix' or 'retrieve '.

    Also, in Windows Disk Manager (that I can use in some way when I boot in safe mode) I see two hidden partitions, a 10 GB and a 1.5 GB, so I KNOW they are there, I did not delete them and they should be intact.

    Any help is appreciated, but don't tell me to hit F8 when starting, this has already been tried: P

    Thanks for the comments.
    On this forum, that we have already talked about this and of course access to the data recovery is not the same for all models of laptop. F8 method is for example for models Europeans and several people from the Australia or even Canada reported on the use of the 0 button.

    In any case, I'm happy to know that everything is going well.

  • How to partition the HDD using the recovery CD - Satellite P35-S6112

    Hi all

    First of all, I've read tons of messages within this support site and then decided to open a thread.

    My laptop model Nr: P35-S6112
    Recovery DVD code: TK143/PMAE00127012
    OS: Windows Xp home edition

    I'm trying to re - install the sytem with two disk partitions, but no luck. Recovery DVD (procedure) gives me no opportunity to separate the HDD in two different partitions, also commonly known as C and D when you reinstall the system.

    Many experts support claim that appears during installation install two modes and (Expert Mode) allows the user to divide the hard disk into partitions.

    Please, let me explain how to re - install.
    (A-) I simply recovery dvd in the drive and start the dvd player.

    B-) first black screen comes and asks confirmation to proceed for recovery (F1 means yes.)

    C-) second screen with two warnings as described below.
    1-) to ensure that the recovery CD/DVD is in the CD/DVD drive.
    2-) keep the CD/DVD in the drive until you are prompted to rremove it.
    Continue to press (C). To cancel press (A)?

    D-) then I select (C) and the recovery procedure starts without asking me if I want to separate disk in different partitions. Then, installation ends and creates an entire C: drive.

    I would like to know if this partitioning function is included in the recovery DVDs or should I have to pay for additional software separate my hard drive into two partitions of poor?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    Recovery for laptops models European procedure is very well known to me, but I think you have a model of portable U.S. unfortunately I didn t see how it works for laptop computers in the United States, but I guess it must be similar to European models.

    In any case if you say that you cannot use the installation in expert mode I believe you. If there is no way to use recovery media I recommend you use the Partition Magic software. It is a very powerful software and the use you can manage HARD drive and create clean partitions or change the ability of persistence of partitions already.

    Good luck!
