How to use product recovery CD-rom?

How to use product recovery cd-rom on the satellite A40 range?

Hi Daniel,.

To use the recovery CD, simply insert the first CD (assuming there are two) in the CD drive and then just turn on your laptop while pressing the 'C' key on the keyboard. This will cause the laptop to load a minimal operating system on the CD that will start the process of recovery of the product.

You should also be an initial menu that asks you if you want to do a complete system restore or restore 'Expert'. The full restore will delete all of your 'C' drive and will then install the entire system (excluding all the extras you'll have to install afterwards). The recovery of 'Expert' will allow you to partition your hard drive before you install the operating system in the C"" drive.

Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro L10 - how to use product recovery?

    I've had this laptop for a while, it was done incrementally over the years and now seems to have abandoned completely.

    I can barely open anything without being invited to what program I want to open it with, and web browsing becomes almost impossible.

    I have all the product recovery discs but when I try to use following the instructions 'Insert disc in drive, turn on your PC while keeping the key C' nothing happens, after all a bunch of Eman windows continues to load.

    I'm close to throw this thing out the window (I live in a 3rd floor apartment) but cannont afford a replacement. If anyone can offer me some advice much whatever it is I would be very happy.

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    If I understand you just want to reinstall Windows. Is this good?

    Therefore, you must use the Toshiba recovery disc. As far as I know the old Satellite L10 there is no option of HARD drive recovery, by pressing the C key will not help you.

    So, put the Toshiba Recovery disk and boot up your laptop. Then, go into the BIOS or BIOS boot menu and choose Start from the CD/DVD drive.
    The CD starts and you can reinstall Windows :)

  • Can I use product Recovery DVD-ROM from the other unit for my Tecra A2?

    My A2 Tectra is so damaged that I want to back to whn he bought. I can't find the DVD_ROM of recovery of product that comes with it. But I got the Toshiba A60 product DVD_ROM recovery.
    They are all the same or do I have the exact DVD_ROM to A2 TECTRA?

    Hello

    The answer is no. each recovery image is created separately, and contains drivers for specific hardware infrastructure. Best way is to use the facilities of Microsoft CD and install all the drivers, tools and utilities only later. All these things you can find on the download page of Toshiba.

  • How to use the recovery CD?

    Hello

    Ive lost the instructions to tell me how to use the recovery CD. I forgot, I need to press to access the disks when I reboot!

    Can anyone help please?
    St. Clare

    Hi clear, before using the recovery CD make you that all important data has been saved to the floppy or USB key because the procedure will erase the entire hard drive. The method for booting from a cΘdΘrom may vary according to the model number of your laptop, but it's something like hold the 'B' button for the Toshiba Startup logo. If this fails you can try to change the boot sequence or use the Toshiba from Windows or the BIOS configuration tool (ESC then F1 when prompted from a cold start) make CD-ROM the first device startup in the list.

  • I'm not clear how to use the recovery CD

    I added all the space using my HDD is it comes about 12 GB, I have 27.9 GB of disk space, but my drive has only 1.80 left disk space. I made clear to solve this problem. Basket is empty, I ran disk cleanup.

    A computer expert suggested that Windows might have become confused and cannot recognize what place I save, it might be because I ran a program called Cyberscrub often. His solution is to reload Windows XP home. My laptop came with recovery discs, everything else is already loaded. I have so much I don't want to lose on my laptop. If I use the recovery discs, I will lose everything on my computer, am I better off buying Windows XP home and re-load, in which case I will not lose my job?

    Also I am not clear how to use the recovery discs, I can't find instructions on what you are doing.
    The only person who could help me went to travel and not reachable.
    Any help greatly appreciated

    It of a very simple to recover the laptop.
    Just boot from the recovery CD and follow the instructions on-screen ;)

    I put t know what version recovery CD you have, but the older one provides the standard and expert mode. In expert mode, you can choose you partition where the OS is to be installed.
    So in this case only the selected partition will be formatted!

    But have you checked the size of the HARD disk in disk management?
    Simply click on the my icon my computer and choose manage.

    Of course, you could remove the internal HARD disk and it could connect to the external USB HDD controller. Then, connect the drive HARD to the second PC and you record data on another HARD drive.

    You normally start the PC, and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, you press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager program.

    Then follow the instructions to restore your PC to its state of software "out of the box.

    In so doing you re-partition and reformat the hard drive.

    So make sure that you copy the files that you want to keep on a portable hard drive before proceeding.

    It is also for if you have created a storage partition. You must copy all the files from that too.

    All partitions are erased and redone.

  • How to use data recovery in memory of "D"? The computer did not contain a wrioter of C/D, so I couldn't make a recovery disk.

    How to use data recovery in memory of 'd' (about 10 GB)?

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask your manufacturer of computers for the EXACT method to restore to factory settings.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    Don t be afraid. Everything is ok.
    The restore CD contains the ghost image files and it uses the files Windows 98 MS system to boot from the CD.
    It is usual that the Win98 message during initialization.
    In addition, the recovery CD formats and automatically remove the HARD drive.
    You have only to boot from this CD and you select standard mode.

    In this case the recovery CD is completely erase the HARD drive.

    You have an original Toshiba Recovery CD?

    If this isn't the case, then you can order of ASP (authorized service provider) in your country.

    However, you can create a clean image to a 3rd party like Norton Ghost utility application.
    This software would be useful to create a bootable CD won, or just an image file that can be stored on another partition.

  • How to use my recovery for re instill my sys?

    Hello

    Dear Sir

    appreciate your efforts to help me because I faced a problem with my PC and I don't have enough time to go to the Tochicha TS in our region and I asked our company that I worked to instill more surgery until I can go to the TS for this problem, but still now I don't have the time to do and I can't use recovery to deliver my PC to the first factory set with the original operating sys. I've used.

    So my Question is: How do I use my recovery re breathe my sys, but I used another version in my PC, inform:

    My lap top is: Satellite L655-18 t
    Operating system
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 32-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)

    and I'm using Windows® 7 unlimited but not yet activated because I used my series Windows® 7 Home Basic for use as a temporary solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Generally if you want to have the factory settings again you can do this on two tracks:
    -using the HDD Recovery mode will not work if you have installed the version of the own BONE
    -using the recovery DVDs

    You have created DVDs of recovery following the instructions in the user s manuals document?
