I recently bought by Satellite A660 and the laptop has been infected with can of virus will start any program even couldn't do any disk recovery. So I try to read the FAQS and guidance that I tried to do the hard drive's default factory setting.

I follow the directions "Press 0 & combination Power button" at the start of the hard disk to recover the system.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-F19 and recently started having a bad performance in the GUI, and also began to close on its own.

    To try to solve the problem, I used the sistem of HARD drive recovery by pressing F8 in the boothing process.
    What is happening is that this process is not and and now my laptop does not even start!
    What can I do?

    I have a windows repair disc, but it was made only a few days ago and this pc is in my possetion for 3 years now.
    Is there a way I can recover my sistem in the original?

    Thank you
    João

    Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

    Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

  • Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

    Hello, this my phone trees.
    I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
    Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
    PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
    QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
    Thanks in advance.

    More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

    Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
    You've misunderstood with username and account.

    Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
    Now, you have two options:
    -to order the new recovery DVDs or
    d ' use the clean install of the OS.

    What do you think of this?
    To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

    I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

    If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  • How can I delete file from HARD drive recovery?

    I burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder and would now like to delete the original folder on my hard drive that I need the space.
    Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to make changes to the file.

    Any suggestions? (I'm a noob in vista)

    Thank you

    > burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder
    I think this will not help you if you would try to recover this file of HARD drive recovery once again!
    You need a recovery disk! This disc would only create a HARD disk partition once again!

    This means that you must create the recovery disk, first using the Toshiba recovery disc creator! This tool is preinstalled!

    So after you have created a successfully recovery disk, you can try to delete the folder from the HARD drive. But to be honest, I don t recommend this I want to say that this folder can be very useful in the future in case something goes wrong with your system

    However, I think that you cannot delete it because you don t have permission to admin
    You can try to disable UAC first
    Disable UAC is as easy as start > run > msconfig > tools > disable UAC > Ok.

  • Substitute Satellite A660 - HARD drive failure - questions

    My laptop A660 tohiba with 650 GB drive hard as he begins says: cannot start but nevertheless starts.
    So I think it's time to replace it. I have a few questions.

    1. What is the exact model of hard drive I need to ask? SATA?
    2.i said only, I could get 500 GB or 1 TB hard drives Toshiba, my machine would support a 1 to?

    Help, please.

    We must look for SATA 2.5 HARD disk and my knowledge, any size must be supported from the controller SATA isn't really limited to a particular size.
    That is why must be too 500 GB same 1 TB.

    But even if the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size of HARD drive, there is always a small risk of compatibility problems between the BIOS and the new device.

  • How to start in my external hard drive to Windows 7 on my iMac?

    Hello

    I new here and just want to start in Windows 7 with boot camp on my iMac running Mountain Lion.

    I was told this software can do, but I am confused how.

    My drive hard win7 is currently connected to my iMac via a usb adapter. How to start up in it?

    Thank you.

    There are additional manual changes must be made to the .vmx config file to allow the Virtual Machine to be suspended not and do not taken Snapshots in order to have it comply with the same conditions imposed on a partition boot Camp install Windows when it is running as a Virtual Machine.

    This was repeated several times in this forum by myself and others so you should be able to search and find details of I synopsized here.

    I had a quick glance, but you would be kind enough to post a link to this part.

    Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM from VMware Fusion (1014782)

    To keep the Virtual Machine of suspension, you do not want to do when you use a physical disk, add the following option in the .vmx config file.

    suspended. Disabled = "TRUE".

    To avoid having the pictures taken using the following option syntax:

    ide0:0. DeviceType = "rawDisk.

    Note that if the physical disks hard was created as a (free) SCSI vs IDE, then ide0:0 would be scsi0:0.  Note that this option can be added automatically when adding a hard pointing to a raw disk, do not remember for sure and no were not I can test at then time, so the option may already be present but if not then add.

  • How to free space on the hard drive recovery disk?

    My J: drive (recovery) is near capacity after a reinstall of Windows 7. How to clear space on this drive?

    Hi John R H,
     
    The purpose of the training of recovery is to store all the files needed to do disaster recovery, when the system becomes unstable. The recovery disk is actually a partition on the hard drive of your computer - not a real physical disk. There is much less space than other drives. If you use the recovery disk to store files (such as backup files), the reader is full quickly and can cause serious problems when you need to use the system recovery.
    Note: Do not store files on the recovery drive. The only files on the recovery disk should be linked to a system recovery.
    Here's a post that addresses a similar issue. To resolve this issue, check the suggestion given in the post.
  • Satellite A50 432 - installation on a new HARD drive recovery DVDs

    I have an A50-432 and the HARD drive has failed. I was able to install the DVD of recovery on the old HARD drive using the Q: drive prompt. But when the new HARD drive is installed it does not recognize the new HARD drive as a destination.

    How can I install a new HARD drive recovery DVD?

    Hello!

    Have you checked the BIOS if the new HARD drive is recognized properly?
    Maybe the new drive HARD isn t working properly and if the BIOS doesn't recognize it. Then you are also not able to install the disc of recovery on this subject.

    Normally, you only have to boot from the recovery disc and follow the instructions on the screen. All that s.

  • Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

    Hi guys.

    I have a question.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
    Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
    After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

    My question is this.
    Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

    Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
    I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

    The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
    Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thank you for your time.

    OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...

  • Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

    Hello

    Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

    Hello

    You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
    If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

    Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
    So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

    Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

    But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

    The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

    So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

    Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

  • Satellite L670 - the system HARD drive recovery does not start

    Hello together,

    I have a problem with my laptop. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    Now I want to restore the original Windows Home Premium. On the laptop is a second partition with a folder named "disk HARD recovery.

    When I hold the button '0' on start nothing happens. The beginning of doesn´t of system recovery.

    Can you help fix the problem.

    Thank you and best regards,
    Dinder

    Hello

    This does not work because you have installed Win 7 64 bit as you said here:
    > I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that the laptop came with Win7 Home Premium 32 bit.
    But have you tried also pressing F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?
    Try this

    Otherwise, drive HARD recovery does not work because the boot manager has been changed or damaged as a result of the new install of Win 7 and this is why you cannot load HARD drive recovery.
    That is why it s always recommended to create a recovery disc before changing anything on the HARD drive.

    What to tell buddy you need recovery disks. I guess that you have a European model for laptop

    You can order the recovery discs here:

    The HARD drive password can be removed from no one. Sorry this isn't a joke, it's done.

    The only way is to swap the HARD drive, but your data is lost.
