• Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

  The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

  Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
  Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

  As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

  All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
  This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

  If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

  Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

  If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

  Using the recovery disc disc HARD integer will be erased but it is applied to factory as from the date of purchase. This means that everything will be installed again (all drivers, tools, and utilities).

• How to recover files before using the recovery disk?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium and when I turn it on it loads the screen where you log does not appear, it has a black screen with a mouse, and I need to use the recovery disk to get back to normal, but I don't want to format the hard drive that I have a lot of files so it is anyway to recover the files?

  Hello

  In my opinion the easiest way is you remove the laptop HARD drive and put it in a box external HARD disk. Then, you can connect this external HARD disk to a different computer now and have access to the files on your HARD drive and you can perform a backup.

  An alternative you can boot from a Linux Live CD and back up your files on a different USB devices.

  Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
  Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

  But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

• Desktop HP pavilion s5-1540: using the recovery disk

  I have the recovery disc I made when I got this pc.

  Now, I need to use.  I started the pc with the disc, but nothing happened.

  Can I get advice on how to use the recovery disk?

  Note.  I'm not very computer savy.

  I sent my pc in for repair to a place of repair no HP (insurance).  They have installed a generic operating system but there is no program file.  I want my pc as it was when I got it.

  I can't get these disks to run.

  any help is much ajppreciated.

  Insert the recovery disk 1 in the drive, restart the PC, when you see the HP logo screen start to type F9 on the keyboard, this should load the Boot Manager, and then highlight (using up/down keys) internal CD-ROM drive cd/dvd and press ENTER, it will now boot from the recovery disc 1 and we hope to start the restore process.

  It is a long process not to disturb the tactile keys or pc, while he recovers, it will reboot several times on his own, you know when it is done when it asks you to set up the pc for first time use.

  Make sure that the recovery discs are clean before you start.

• Cannot install SP3 as it crashes even after recovering the computer by using a recovery disk

  I recently had an accident requiring that I reboot using my restore disk that were made when I first came to this computer. Since the restart, I can't access the updates from Microsoft Updates program. No error message, tells me that I can not connect. After several attempts, I think that the problem lies in the validation of the Windows program I use. I tried manually to run the validation program and to download security patches I've saved previous accidents. I show that SP2 is underway. I have a standalone download SP3, that when I upload in the system, crashes and burns. Back to the same thing, restart using the recovery disk. I realize for XP ends next month and its time to upgrade. But I would like to have this machine in working condition to use for other tasks.

  Original title: update XP

  You are a candidate for this patch before installing SP3...
