How to recover files before using the recovery disk?

Hello

I have a Toshiba Equium and when I turn it on it loads the screen where you log does not appear, it has a black screen with a mouse, and I need to use the recovery disk to get back to normal, but I don't want to format the hard drive that I have a lot of files so it is anyway to recover the files?

Hello

In my opinion the easiest way is you remove the laptop HARD drive and put it in a box external HARD disk. Then, you can connect this external HARD disk to a different computer now and have access to the files on your HARD drive and you can perform a backup.

An alternative you can boot from a Linux Live CD and back up your files on a different USB devices.

    Hello

    You can save your data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can connect it to a laptop or PC and you can save the data on it or burn it to a DVD.
    All that s!

    These cases of disc HARD external are very good markets. I bought my drive enclosure external HARD on eBay and it s works well.

    But there is no other way to save the data as the Toshiba recovery disc erase the whole HARD drive and every disk HARD will be erased.

  • Info satellite A210 171 what do I need before using the recovery disk?

    Hello

    I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, have not used before.
    It says on the back of the envelope of recovery disk 'insert the first diskette.

    I guess there should be a second?

    Also this info I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    All I have a black and white sticker that is on the side of the box, it came in, but it was so long ago.

    I'm having a lot of problems with windows install does not and many others.
    Windows updates do not work either and I tried to correct those, but a clean reinstall of the operating system has been recommended.
    Now, at this point nothing will install because windows setup will not work.
    So I think I wil lhave to try a clean install, but I do know that the cd player works.

    I got a great run on this laptop, little slow today for my needs, but all very good product, purchased in 2007.
    With a clean OS and 4 GB of ram that could last for years, cannot afford a new right now.
    I really tried to avoid using a disc of recovery in the past, as I have never had problems until now.

    Thank you

    I m wondering why you get this disc with your laptop, why? Because I do not have the recovery disk, but I had to create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator software
    But my laptop is more recent that your A210 might be the reason why you have this drive

    I have created a recovery disk and I needed two-disc DVD, I think it depends on the size of the image file

    > Also what information I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
    This is not necessary because your system has already been activated.

    But I recommend you backup your personal data, because the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and you will lose the files.

    PS: you should read other threads in product recovery forum!

  • Satellite M300 - how do I back up the data before using the recovery disk

    Hello everyone,

    Today, I closed my laptop Toshiba Satellite M300.
    Just after a few seconds, it automatically in service and reported some "boot error".

    She also suggested I put on the recovery CD. When I put the CD, nothing happened.
    After awhile, I read the instructions in the CD cover that says that I have to hold the C button and it will start the recovery process.

    How the process goes, the system told me that all the files that I had in the computer would be removed.
    Is it possible how I could back up my documents before as I recover my Vista?

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

    Sincerely,

    Milan

    Hello

    If I understand correctly, you are not able to boot into the Windows operating system; According to the normal starting procedure or by using safe mode. Is this good?

    If Yes, then I don't see many options to get access to the files on the HARD drive.
    What you could try is to remove the HARD drive and use an external USB 2.5 enclosure to connect the HARD drive on another computer.
    Then you could test whether it is possible to access the HARD disk and save the data.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk does not any option that allows you to save the data, the drive formats the HARD drive and erases all partitions.

  • Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

    Hello world

    I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
    This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

    If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
    Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

    The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

    Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
    Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

    As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

    All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
    This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

    If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

    Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  • Desktop HP pavilion s5-1540: using the recovery disk

    I have the recovery disc I made when I got this pc.

    Now, I need to use.  I started the pc with the disc, but nothing happened.

    Can I get advice on how to use the recovery disk?

    Note.  I'm not very computer savy.

    I sent my pc in for repair to a place of repair no HP (insurance).  They have installed a generic operating system but there is no program file.  I want my pc as it was when I got it.

    I can't get these disks to run.

    any help is much ajppreciated.

    Insert the recovery disk 1 in the drive, restart the PC, when you see the HP logo screen start to type F9 on the keyboard, this should load the Boot Manager, and then highlight (using up/down keys) internal CD-ROM drive cd/dvd and press ENTER, it will now boot from the recovery disc 1 and we hope to start the restore process.

    It is a long process not to disturb the tactile keys or pc, while he recovers, it will reboot several times on his own, you know when it is done when it asks you to set up the pc for first time use.

    Make sure that the recovery discs are clean before you start.

    Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
    Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

    But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

    If your goal is to reinstall the operating system there are ways to achieve

    We need to tap the F11 key immediately after presswing the laptop power button. Who will call the Recovery Manager unless you have deleted the recovery partition or have done something to the original disk partition scheme. In the Recovery Manager simply choose to recover your PC for the original operating system

    Alternatively, you can order a set of HP recovery disks.

  • Question aboput using the recovery disk

    If I use the recovery disk, it will remove the Toshiba assist installed on my pc? I don't have the tools and disk utilities.

    Thank you

    Using the recovery disc disc HARD integer will be erased but it is applied to factory as from the date of purchase. This means that everything will be installed again (all drivers, tools, and utilities).

    The laptop will be as good as new. And of course Toshiba Assist is part of the recovery image and it will be there again.
