• Envy 17 k299nb: Windows 8.1 on "new" laptop wants the recovery disk 32 GB

  Hello

  Bandnew laptop, turned on for the first time.
  First thing I want to do after installation, is to make a recovery disk.
  When you choose this option, the laptop wonder a 32 GB flash drive 'at least'.
  How can this be since it has "new"?

  And more importantly, how I can reduce this amount of memory needed?

  Access performance and USB drive is so terrible in this notebook I have to wait for hours!

  THX

  This has nothing to do with the laptop being new. It is just a part of the initial report of installation and can be ignored for now, if you don't not available now.    Just remember you need to do the recovery at some point media.

  You can skip the creation now and create it later.

  If you want to have external recovery media access, then you will need to follow the guests will tell you. Do not save anything in the recovery partition!

  You can access more later by invoking the charm of research and typing in HP recovery. Click the icon to create HP recovery media to start the process.

  It won't take hours to make the usb recovery media. Access USB is fast, especially compared to the access of the DVD media.

• Satellite A660 - custom install from the recovery disk

  I like my windows costs. I do not have programs that I don't really need. I tried to uninstall some of them, but they always leave unexpected pieces behind them. So is there a way to stop the factory reset on A660 before installing drivers and other software. So I can install the readers updated and the programs I want to.

  I noticed that I can leave the program that installs Windows regarding the Office when using ctrl-alt-delete. Thing is that it will start again once the computer restarts then I have to remove this program from loading at the beginning upward. Can anyone share ideas?

  I would be really nice if Toshiba allows us to decide what kind of programs that we have in our computer.

  Satellite A660 97u model. Windows 7.

  Hey,.

  I put t think its bloatware. It s tools can you FN keys, webcam, etc. Laptop with a lot of material requires a lot of drivers and software. In addition, you also get a large number of tools that makes computing easier, like Toshiba Bulletin Board software, burning, etc.
  If you remove it n don't like this software, but it s kind of Toshiba to deliver these software with laptops.

  But to answer your question: custom installation is not possible because the recovery disk contains a ready image of factory settings, no single file.
  This is why you must use a Microsoft disc.

• Windows vista USB flash drive installation AND recover the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disk

  Hi all

  I formatted my laptop some time ago. Now I want to reinstall windows vista (came along with my laptop). The thing is due to a problem that my CD drive does not work so I would like to install windows vista by using a USB key. Can you get it someone please let me know if this is possible... If Yes, how I've go ahead make a bootable USB.

  As someone can tell me if there is a way to retrieve the WINDOWS KEY from the recovery disc.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This can help, but you will need a Vista system to create the working bootable USB key:http://www.askvg.com/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-vista/

  As for the product key, it should be on a sticker on the laptop (usually on the bottom). If it is not readable, contact the manufacturer for further assistance. As we said already, the product key is not on the installation disc.

  Replace broken laptop optical drives is not too difficult, you can see this as another option.

• How to uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery disk?

  By mistake, I installed Windows 7 on the recovery disk. I have only windows 7 installed on my Dell Inspiron. However, it is now a multi-boot, as Windows 7 is stored on the operating system and the recovery drive. How delete/uninstall Windows 7 from the recovery drive (more free space on it is exhausted). I already tried to 'Format' and 'Remove the Volume' in the disk management page, but the options are grayed out and I can't access it.

  It's probably that you managed to install on the Dell recovery disk victory because it would be too small.

  Open the recovery partition in Explorer to view the files.

  Use msconfig to remove incorrect boot entry

• Can I install Windows XP with a different CD than the recovery CD?

  A friend of a friend ;) has a 5200 satellite. He hides a very bad virus on his book, witch, I couldn't remove after 2 hours of work, so I would like to install Windows in order to "clean up" the system. The problem is: it is just to visit here, and his recovery CD is in his hometown, so I don't have the recovery CD.

  My question: can I use any other Windows XP CD - and then use the key, that I can find under the laptop? Must it be a 'home' - CD too, or work any CD - or ONLY a Toshiba Recovery CD won't work?

  It is important for him - if that doesn't work he'll buy a new Windows XP in the next 2 days. Because he pays me a little bit for my work, I can just try and then try again the next day or so.

  PS: How much is a new recovery-CD - ONLY the CD - when I buy a Toshiba dealer? I live in Germany.

  Thank you

  For the installation of the OS, you can use what you want. If you don't have a recovery media, you can use the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads.

  It is very important to install everything in the order of good facilities. If you need further assistance please write again.

  Bye and good luck!

• How to install Windows 7 on a new SSD, Dell Windows 7 DVD

  I have a new SSD for my workstation Precision 7510.  I need to install windows 7 on it from the DVD provided by Dell.  The DVD has no drivers and so when I try and install, I get a message about "the installation media does contain not all drivers" and the installation will not allow me to continue.  Keep in mind that my new SSD has no partition recovery or in fact any partition.  I have a drivers Cab file and I also have this unpacked on a USB key, but it does not appear as a disk when I "Browse".  Neither the new SSD - t - there no partitions...

  Do I need to format the SSD drive first?

  Could someone tell me where I can get the drivers and all that forms, they must be in?  In other words, I need to burn it to a DVD, and what would the structure of directory?  Do I have to download all the drivers separately - there are a number of EXEs on the support site, or can I use the Dell Enterprise site CAB file?

  I tried various things now since a few days and I'm losing my grip on reality :)

  Thanks in advance.

  See here:

  Use this driver:

  I would also advise to convert the DVD to USB with USB 3.0 support:

  With the procuct only key?  No, you cannot, the product key is just a combination of 25 alphanumeric characters, where the installation files will come from?   You will need to contact HP for a recovery disc.

• How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

  Hello

  I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
  When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

  But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
  I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

  How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

  I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

  If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

  Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
  Shane

  If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

  Return to your partitions.
  When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
  WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
  -C for Vista partition
  Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

  Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

  So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
  -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
  -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

  That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

• Can I install OneNote 2003 from the recovery disk?

  I need a clarification (my Toshiba reseller and Microsoft technical support have proved to be also useless)
  I have a Toshiba Satellite recovery and product

  Recently (by mistake), I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
  It is still on my recovery CD, I got the license number but I can't install it without reinstaling the entire system and formatting my hard drive?

  And I really want to do.
  Is there another way?

  Thanks for your help

  > Recently (by mistake), I uninstalled Microsoft OneNote 2003
  Before you take your recovery disk and format the HDD all new installation, you should try to use the System Restore tool in your Windows operating system.
  There is an option that allows you to enable the operating system to the point of time at the beginning.
  Maybe it will work
