• 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:

  > 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.

• 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:

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome!

  I'm afraid that you can't create partitions of recovery if they are deleted. End users cannot do.

  If the computer is originally shipped with Windows preinstalled by HP (OEM of Windows for example), you can buy HP recovery media. They are generally cheap. You can use it to restore your computer to factory default condition. Here's how:

  And once you receive the recovery [DVD or USB pen drive] media, here's how to use it to restore default factory/Windows to a condition:

• 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.

• 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.

  I need to use the recovery partition to restore my OS to its original state.  I'm getting crashes (invaded by "dumprep.exe" CPU cycles) and an occasional BSOD.

  What brand is your computer?  Some computer manufacturers, including Dell and HP, have a recovery partition on the hard drive of the new computers.  By pressing a special key combination when the computer starts, you can use the recovery partition to restore the computer to the way it was when it was new.  Looking for a message about the recovery options on the first screen that appears.

  I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

  The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft.  Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.

  I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.

• Satellite L40 - 18Y: corrupt system files - how to use the recovery partition

  Greetings,

  One of my friends bought the Bulgarian electronic Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y (PSL48E) from a major retailer and insists on the fact that it came without any CD, but the first time he installed Vista.

  After that some of his other friends have uninstalled Vista and XP for unknown reasons (he says that some drivers and patches were necessary to make XP work properly, I think he might have something on LBA48 and SP1).

  In any case, installing XP died, and the disk share is the file system is damaged.
  After I removed it with gparted I have two disk actions now.
  1st row in the table to partition: ntfs share labeled WinRE (no hidden bootable)
  (He has a stash of file RavMon.exe and autorun.inf which implies that damage to the installation of XP are perhaps caused by a virus)
  Second row in the partition table: empty (installation of XP was)

  Third row in the table to partition: ntfs share with data

  The problem is that the first partition unbootable and act like partition recovery, even when I toggle the boot flag.

  It is all recovery partition and how I should go?
  I read in some messages if you press '0' when the computer starts the Bios it will start automatically, but it did not work.

  A manual which was available for download for this model on Toshiba Support site the key has been specified as F12. It didn't work either.

  I'll be very grateful for directions, solutions or ideas.

  Hello

  There is perhaps a little change to reinstall Vista with the HDD recovery procedure.
  Please check if it would work.
  -Turn on the laptop and press F8
  -Check if there is an option called fix my computer
  -If so, select it, and then choose the last option called Toshiba recovery.

  But to be honest I don t see the chances it would work because you have already removed the Vista from the HARD drive.

  You must have read the user manual before deleting the Vista.
  The manual (Chapter 3), said that if the recovery DVDs has not been handed over with Notepad then you create the DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator (is was also preinstalled). The user manual also describes the above HARD drive recovery procedure.

  However, the recovery DVDs can also be ordered here:
