• Means of hard drive failure cannot use the recovery partition. Alas! recovery discs will not read!

  Hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and abandon me. I can't access the drive at all so decided to but a new and use the recovery at least discs bring the machine to its status as an out-of-box.

  That's the problem... It will not read the recovery disc. I know there is some stuff about it because I read in another machine. Until you tell me to change the DVD hardware... it reads very well all the other disks. I loaded Arcronis, as well as other system repair stuff, using the DVD Player/Recorder.

  I have a pukka Product Code for the software, Vista Home Basic. Can I get a Vista Home Basic disc and then use my key to sting?  I'm happy to pay a price, but do not want to buy at the price high. After all, I already paid for it once!

  Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Need to format the drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. I could use the same product key

  Original title: Windows 7

  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP 1 that have previously been installed then bought my laptop. Product key number is fixed under the laptop.

  I need to format my drive due to some problems and having to reinstall Windows 7. can I use the same product key and where can I get the installer of Windows 7 because I don't have it.

  Thank you

  New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

• I want to use the recovery to any format CD

  I am currently using Windows Vista and I want to use the recovery to any format CD.
  I don't want anything that has been preinstalled to be more on my HARD drive.
  Should what options I use when you use the CD and it will reinstall Windows?

  If your recovery CD contains the Vista operating system then the installation procedure is very easy.
  You need to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and follow the instructions on the screen. Installation would format the drive HARD integer (clear partitions too) and would install Vista, driver, tools, tools and software on the laptop.

  Simply said, you will get factory settings books ;)

• I need help to retrieve my hard drive using the recovery of Neosmart disk (it takes days)

  To get a better perspective, I'll tell you the history of what has gone wrong.

  What happened is that the computer has a virus and it changed some coding on the computer. When this happened to that my computer wouldn't let me enter my account and the only account that I could go on was the administrator account. I tried on a few websites and the other microsoft Web sites told me to do something with the command userinit or something like that, which led to the black screen of death that I managed to fix it on my own.

  Another website told me to use the recovery disk but like a lot of people that I don't have a recovery disk, I only had a reinstallation disk that said I could fix the computer, but it would delete all hard disk that I didn't, I need the intact files because they are important to my family.

  Then I discovered on the recovery disk that you can buy from Neosmart.com and this disc is made like the original Vista recovery disk. Anyway I bought it and I clicked on "Automatic repair" and it comes up with 2 dives eligible for recovery (it says at the top) a player is 10 GB and the other is 288 GB (it says active is the 288 GB we) I clicked on repair automated on one of them, but I don't remember. Apparently fixed it (coding I guess) and I restarted but no consideration was there. He says "Please wait" for a long time, then it comes up with a single account that says "User" I click it and it says user name and password you will need to connect to a computer at school or something. I put my username and password anyway and it does not of course and it comes up with "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.

  So, I went back on the recovery disk and I so I click on system restore to get my stuff back and I can put it on a previous date until the virus has arrived and I click on it, then it is said that his recovery, files, but just like that, I let him recover and he was recovering for 3 days before I came on this site and tried something but it did not work. Like I said before it is 288 GB so I guessed it would take a long time to recover only the amount of data, but it seems just silly.

  Could someone please help me with this with words that I can identify the disk recovery Neosmart.com please

  Important additional information

  I said before that I don't remember what I have fixed drive, the thing is that there might be I have set the wrong drive, but to be honest at this point, I feel like if I do a movement without knowing what it will do, im going to lose what's on that hard drive

  Important files are not for work, they are files containing family photos of many years we couldn't print on paper of good quality printing. There is no other copy of these pictures and I really want to keep them, even with my parents.

  The recovery of Neosmart disk contains the following options

  • Auto repair
  • Score editor
  • Browse/Backup of files
  • Internet browser
  • Launch the command line

  Within the Automated repair is where you can get the system restore. The others you can kind of guess, if you want to know so just ask.

  Help, please

  Thank you

  To recover the photos, you can remove the drive and it slave on another computer (you can get very cheap external envelopes) and remove your data (you have just learned an important lesson in why you need to have backups).

  Once you have saved your data, your best bet would probably be to reinstall. A good Web site for the removal of malicious software is that one.

• Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

  I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

  With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

  My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

  Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
  I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

  If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

  I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

  Thanks in advance,
  Yossi Beck

  Hey Yossi

  I think you have misunderstood something!

  You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

  Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

  So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
  This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

  Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

  but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
  That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

  Hello

  Do you have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
  Obviously, the HARD drive or partitions on the HARD disk is corrupted.
  In my opinion, that you should first format the whole HARD drive and also delete entire partitions.
  Insert the recovery CD, and then try to install the image of Toshiba.

  Oh, I forgot something; Check if the HARD drive is connected properly

• Satellite A300 - how to use the recovery with external DVD drive disc?

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 d

  FTM the tsscorp drive that is installed in the camera no longer works (does not detect any type of media what so ever). ) need to recover the laptop, so I used a USB DVD drive to boot from the restore disc, but after that the charges of recovery console it says waiting for media in the f: drive, which is the tsscorp drive although I used an external drive to load the disc.

  What files should I edit to make it to load from the drive externally and if this isn't the solution, what do I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

  Unfortunately I think that it of not possible to use the recovery with external CD/DVD drive disc. Therefore, place the internal for use the recovery disc.
  You can get a new drive to an authorized service provider.

  But if the original OS from Toshiba is installed, you can use the function of disk recovery HARD reinstall Windows as well. Go to the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer :)

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 with Windows Vista Home 64 bit, if I use the recovery disk program that reinstall my OS?

  Depends on which option that you select when you get to the recovery screen. If your select Repair, your personal files are kept, but you may have to reinstall programs that were not shipped with the system. The other option is to reset to the factory settings. This option erases your hard drive and reinstalls the Ant OS restores your system to the way it was when you first pulled out of the box.* *

  And I lose all my media files?

  If you don't back them up before proceeding, yes you.

  * Don't, you cannot run AVG and Norton together. They both have real time protection and which certainly causes a conflict.* *.

• By using the Recovery Manager to repartition the HARD drive

  I started a post a few days back on my pavilion DM1-3014AU netbook that runs on AMD APU-E350, 2 GB of ram and comes pre loaded with windows 7 Home Basic. I had a number of requests because I want to repartition the hard drive, do a fresh install of windows 7 my disc and I also want to keep some of the hp software.

  After going through a few messages in this forum, I learned that we can use the Recovery Manager to do a minimal install, IE windows 7 and only the hp software. That's what I have to do unless I also want to repartition the hard drive.

  I currently have 4 partitions, C drive, hp tools (hidden) and backup (hidden). I have already created recovery disks. Now, my questions are:-

  1. can I use recovery disks or Recovery Manager to delete all existing partitions and recreate my own partitions. This means that I would remove the recovery, tools and backup partitions.

  2. After doing the above I'll be able to do a minimal install (os + hp software) via the Recovery Manager or the recovery disks.

  3. my intutions are that I can accomplish the above two using the recovery disks and not the recovery partition. If the above two steps are possible using recovery discs, it would ultimately have no partition on my hard drive recovery. I will then be able to use the recovery disks in the future to make the same minimum install (os + hp software)

  4. I wouldn't really keep the recovery, tools and backup partitions if they can be of any complacency in the future but the reson why I want to delete them, is that windows 7 Home Basic allows no more than 4 partitions and I want to be able to create at least 4 partitions for my use.

  Any help would be really appreciated...

  Yes Vikrant... it is unnecessary to install UEFI to update BIOS.

  Yes, if you install the update to the BIOS using the link I provided in my previous thead element, you can as a revert to a version of BIOS as soon as possible if you feel that the system is unstable.

  Even if you reparition the whole HARD disk and do a manimized install, you can install the BIOS update in the future.

  Updating the BIOS is independent if you did full recovery or minimizes recovery.

  BIOS update will not affect the use of recovery disks and procedures. You can safely use them in the future without any problem.

  You will use the ability to run F9 diagnostics incase of any software system crash, and you are unable to start Windows.

• Drive D is missing after using the recovery CD

  Hello
  This is my first time using the toshiba forum! My problem is that after that I used the recovery cd and rebooted my laptop, I can't find my D drive!
  I have a P100-277 100 GB HDD divided in drive C and D, now only 100 GB on my C drive.

  What can I do to get my D drive?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You have probably chosen standard recovery option. Standard recovery option erases the entire HARD disk and creates a partition. How to save the contents of the previous drive D is the right question.

  I've never done it before, but I'm sure you can find some tools on the net or PC magazine. Will you please Google around and I'm sure you'll find something.
