How to get the 'factory settings' on satellite M30?

I just tried to set my laptop back to the original configuration by using the restore CD. Unfortunatly just before the process an error message is displayed. There seems to be a scratch on the second CD, I guess that's the problem.
I've been in touch with toshiba and they said they will send replacements but there is a delay, and it will take several weeks.
I can't really afford to wait that long to get my laptop working again, are there any ways to get around this? I was wondering if I used the advanced option could I select only to install enough components to get it running, so does not require the second CD, or at least it damaged the part of the Conference on disarmament. It would probably be a temporary measure until replacements arrived.

Any advice welcome.

Thank you
Geoff

Hello Geof

Restore CD provided you can install new OS. There is no option for any type of repair just clean OS installation operating system.
There is nothing to do at the moment. Before the start of the procedure for recovery of the disk HARD will be formatted and in your case, it's already done. There is no chance to fix whatever it is, whatever that means clean OS can be done now.

    Hi stab them.

    I think that I n the new good t for you: restore factory settings without Toshiba recovery disc isn t possible in your case! :(

    First of all I think it's normal to s no recovery disk is delivered with the laptop as you will need to create them yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. That is why it s recommended using high quality as Verbatim DVD-R media.

    I think that the only option to recover to factory settings is to order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I put t understand why you didn't create this disk, because after the first boot, if you shut down the computer area, you get the following message:

  • Qosmio F50: HDD recovery entry missing - how to get to factory settings

    I got the BSoD problem with driver nVidia 9700 m GTS and will not let me complete installation of recovery.

    I installed Win Vista from a DVD of Windows recovery in order to have a clean with the standard to avoid more VGA driver installation of accidents due to the nVidia card is malfunctioning. Installation has been set without doing anything on the HARD drive recovery partition partition C, in fact I can see all the files inside my computer folder.

    The problem is that now I want to recover the original Win Vista recovery disk, but when I do F8 during startup, I don't see the Toshiba Recovery mode, even if all the files are still in the recovery partition.

    Can I use any software inside windows to launch the recovery? Or any other disk recovery solution?

    Thank you!

    Hi mate

    You need to create a recovery disk in the past;(à côté de l'option de récupération de disque DUR, il s est fortement recommandé de créer le disque de récupération dans le cas où quelque chose irait mal avec le disque DUR.)
    I guess that the new operating system installation has changed the boot manager that was configured by Toshiba now, you have the standard Microsoft boot manager.

    But I found this interesting forum thread:

  • How to get the drivers on my Satellite U305?

    Hello

    I have trouble with my Toshiba Satellite U305. My laptop using vista OS but after formatting hard drive, I can't find the driver as web cam etc. So what do I do with my laptop driver on the HARD disk, I see a hidden partition which is like the hidden driver?

    How can I get this driver for my laptop?

    Hello

    The situation is more complex than what it look like. Toshiba does not create a partition hidden with the list of drivers. What should I Toshiba is to place the complete recovery on the second partition image. This partition is visible. I am not sure how she look like models of laptop computers in the United States, but on European models, this image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery.

    I'm afraid that you write on the hidden WinRE partition, but it has nothing to do with the drivers of Toshiba. I think that you have deleted the recovery image, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do now to get it back. I'm afraid you need to install your own operating system by using the Microsoft DVD facilities. all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp.

    If you have any other questions please post again.

    Good luck!

  • How to get the Bluetooth works on Satellite U300-155 and Linux Kubuntu 8.04

    I bought Toshiba Satellite U300-155 and I have Kubuntu 8.04 languages, but I don't see bluetooth when I turn it on.
    How can I use bluetooth under kububtu 8.04?

    Check if the antenna of your laptop switch is on. I think that the graphic tool should exist to manage the bluetooth. However if you're familiar with the linux console
    Then, you can also try the following command to activate bluetooth:

    sudo toshset - bluetooth module Bluetooth to connect to the USB bus
    sudo hciconfig hci0 upward
    sudo lsmod toshiba_apci-online background of access keys (+)
    sudo tail-f/var/log/acpi
    module installation sudo modprobe toshiba_acpi if not already available
    Press + to turn Bluetooth on or off. Check the acpi log output
    sudo hciconfig hci0 Bluetooth peripheral power

  • How to change the infrared port on Satellite M30 to be IrDA to be direct IR?

    Hello world

    I just bought a new watch that should be able to communicate with a pc via the infrared port (it's the Polar S710).
    Unfortunately, it does not work as the 'Protocol' of the watch is directIR, rather than be IrDA, as is my cell phone.

    I saw somewhere that it would be possible to change the infrared port of my laptop in order to operate in directIR. Anyone know the procedure? I think I could change something directly in the driver, but I did not how to deal with.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me.

    Thank you
    SEB

    Hello

    I think that it of not possible to change the IrDA Protocol on the laptop.
    But have you tried to update the software polar?
    Consult the manufacturing site:

    I would like to reset my 5 + years Satellite A110-225 to the original factory setting. I don't have a dvd or anything. How to go?

    Regards, Rob

    Only way to have the factory settings is to install the recovery image original Toshiba designed for your laptop model.

    Can someone advice how to change the power settings please?
    Thnx.

    Dave

    Hi Dave,.

    You have the "Toshiba common Modules" installed? They must first of all for many models of Toshiba, and power settings module is an add-on for that.

    If you do not have the appropriate restoration or the utility CD handy, the drivers can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba website.

    I hope this helps, let us know how you go
