  Hello

  Here is another solution, you can try to see if you can get Windows 7 to install correctly.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create an installation disk yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the version exact same origin supplied with your laptop ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Product recovery discs are missing on my new M50

  Hey,.

  Last Wednesday I went down to my shop local curries (Barrow-in-Furness) and bought myself a Toshibe M50 (the box says its a M50-192)

  When I went to the store, there are no examples of the laptop in the store (I was only there because the comet to the top of the road had ceased to run another laptop I wanted) - but I was offered the view model that I decided was not in bad nick and I would take.

  The young man in the store didn't offer me a discount, but he told me that the startup/recovery discs were not provided with the product and I would make them when you set up the computer later. I took this in good faith and left the store.

  When I got home, I have found no function to make the recovery disc for the machine, and none were in the box (which had already been opened because it is the view model). I looked in my manual of toshiba and it includes a section on how to use the recovery discs - but not how to do everything - with a nice picture of what look like pre-made disks. After reviewing my documentation, I noticed that the quick start guide tells me that my box should take various things - computer, ac power cord, documentation and others, AND "product recovery".

  Now, after this not-so-brief backround to my situation (Please read elsewhere), I ask my question: should I have received these drives to the store or do they still have them? Or am I supposed to make, but have missed it because the computer is already configured in the Currys store (and if they still have the disks, or I can get them now)?

  If someone could shed some light on this problem a little complex for me I would be very grateful ;-)

  (The laptop itself is great-even if the graphics card is not quite what was advertised in the store)

  Hi Jonathan

  Certainly, the recovery DVDs comes with portable Satellite M50 series. It will be interesting to know if the laptop box was initially closed or you bought the laptop that was perhaps already unpacked.

• Recovery discs are causing mobile to power down

  Hello

  I offered (BIG mistake!  :-) for helping solve my laptop computer brothers after his drive HARD quite dead. I bought a new MK8025GAS exactly like the one that was defective. I tried to recover via the CD two recovery, but whenever the laptop is about 95% and then turns off. So don't give me a car to work with.

  I actually it connected to my office, partitioned and formatted and installed XP. Then I used the utilities & tools provided that contains the drivers. Unfortunately, it did not ALL drivers and I had an exclamation mark against some elements include the USB hardware.

  So, being that it was not right I decided to try the discs of recovery with exactly the same result. However, because it had to 95' ish % he had killed format etc that I had done earlier.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you. Phil

  Hi Philippe,.

  If the laptop turns off unexpectedly with no caveat messageson the screen while the likely cause is overheating. Make sure that the laptop has adequate ventilation because the cooling system cannot function at its best, until the operating system is loaded and the Toshiba power management utility can control the speed of the fan. During the installation process, the fan may operate at a rudimentary level.

• Using the recovery disc - are the Versions of the latest drivers?

  Waiting on a recovery disk, WIN7 Pro 64 bit, to arrive.  I was just wondering are all the drivers on the current disc or are they those who emitted during delivery of the laptop.  In other words I will have to upgrade the drivers after recovery again.

• Re: I lost the recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

  Hi there, my son lost the recovery disc 1 for its Satellite P10.
  We got disc 2 (drivers) but no disc 1.

  Where can I get an another restore disc 1. and what it cost around.

  Post edited by: merdat

  Hello

  Usually you could order the ASP in your country, but I m not very well that if you will be able to order this disc because the P10 is an old notebook series and possibly the recovery discs are not more available for this model.

  However, you must contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
  Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.

  Good luck

• When I bought my computer idid not receive a vista instead disc they gave me three recovery disc, I want to make my own vista disc to repair or reinstall my own vista program

  When I bought my computer with vista as my windows operating program.                  I want to get a vista disk to repair or reinstall vista instead of the disk three gave me or just sent me my own vista disc

  Microsoft sends NO Vista DVD.

  You already have the manufacturer's recovery disks.
  Recovery disc reinstall Vista and your computer about how you bought.

  You will need to contact your computer manufacturer to see if you have a recovery Partition on your hard drive.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  Recovery discs are made from the recovery Partition, OR provided by the manufacturer, as in your case!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Here is some general info recovery options.

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  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 them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of startup if repair you need to do a startup repair.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• This "Recovery disc" option will work with my PC?

  I have a client who is an emergency wants to start to use their computers again (a HP Pavilion p6347c windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, product #: ay614aa #aba), so I have to stop chasing dead ends and ask them to buy a new PC - if it's what ultimately will happen anyway.

  The SATA hard drive is dead. I installed a new, but we need the recovery disks to reinstall the OS Win7. I was all prepared to order on Friday evening on the HP site recovery disc, I was on the screen to enter a credit card number and I stopped to confirm the purchase by the customer, and when I got home, the hp recovery disk order online site had declined, until ' Sunday 26 9:00 AM CST. But this time has passed and the site is still not up. I have a bad feeling.

  My work depends on not wasting any more time. I need to know the following:

  (1) the Web site will go online at any time in the next 24 hours? (was supposed to be lifted this morning)

  (2) my "build NUMBER" is "a1nav6pra2". The link
  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & sw_lang = & Product = 4120...
  I intend to use to order my recovery discs says:
  "windows 7 64B a1nav6pra1 + supp 7 recovery kit.
  That is to say. "a1nav6pra1" instead of "a1nav6pra2". The gap of a figure is a problem?

  (3) HP recovery discs check the hardware to ensure that the material matches. I replaced death hard drive HITACHI (HITACHI 640 GB 7200 RPM SATA-II 16 MB of buffer "HDT721064SLA360") with a new SATA hard drive (SEAGATE st3500641as-rk, 500 MB, 16 MB cache, 7200 RPM).
  Is there a reason the recovery disks will not be installed on this drive?

  Thanks for any help!

  You can also call HP to the 800-474-6836 and ask to order a set of disks. The disks should work even with the gap of a figure. Sometimes, the recovery discs are reluctant to a hard drive that is smaller than the original disc to factory.

• Satellite L350 - Question about recovery disc creation

  Help, please.

  I read in the manual for my new lap top before setting up and feel rather nervous.

  The seller said that he had to open automatically when I start it, and all I had to do to install the printer and my word m/s (for example) program and I would be in place and running.

  But it seems that I should first do some recovery disks.
  How many disks is necessary? DVD no doubt - or D/L.?
  The recovery discs are possible after other programs installed?

  Secondly, he mentioned the manual online. Where can I find it?
  I have a scanner and a Seagate external hard drive, but these can be added later.
  I use the laptop as a desktop replacement for my old Mesh PC of five years.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Yes, it is very important to create the recovery disk before you change anything on your HARD drive laptops.
  When you have completed the installation of Vista, you must start the application called recovery Toshiba disc Creator.
  This application will help you create the recovery disk.

  As I m not wrong not you would need a DVD. I recommend using a DVD-R.

  Notes; in some cases, you might get an error burning the recovery DVDs. This may happen because not all drives are fully compatible. So if you get this error please check different DVD from different manufacturers

  Good bye
