Info satellite A210 171 what do I need before using the recovery disk?

Hello

I have 1 recovery disk that came with my equium, have not used before.
It says on the back of the envelope of recovery disk 'insert the first diskette.

I guess there should be a second?

Also this info I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
All I have a black and white sticker that is on the side of the box, it came in, but it was so long ago.

I'm having a lot of problems with windows install does not and many others.
Windows updates do not work either and I tried to correct those, but a clean reinstall of the operating system has been recommended.
Now, at this point nothing will install because windows setup will not work.
So I think I wil lhave to try a clean install, but I do know that the cd player works.

I got a great run on this laptop, little slow today for my needs, but all very good product, purchased in 2007.
With a clean OS and 4 GB of ram that could last for years, cannot afford a new right now.
I really tried to avoid using a disc of recovery in the past, as I have never had problems until now.

Thank you

I m wondering why you get this disc with your laptop, why? Because I do not have the recovery disk, but I had to create one using the Toshiba recovery disc creator software
But my laptop is more recent that your A210 might be the reason why you have this drive

I have created a recovery disk and I needed two-disc DVD, I think it depends on the size of the image file

> Also what information I need to provide during the installation process? as serial number?
This is not necessary because your system has already been activated.

But I recommend you backup your personal data, because the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and you will lose the files.

PS: you should read other threads in product recovery forum!

  • Can satellite A210 - 11K - I recover my data before using the recovery disk?

    Hello

    Basically, my laptop has been slain in a loop of startup repair so my only option is to use the recovery CD. However, I have some files I have not back upward until my laptop decided to do not on me. Is there a way in which I can retrieve these files while at the same time fixing my laptop?

    Hello

    You can save your data if you put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then, you can connect it to a laptop or PC and you can save the data on it or burn it to a DVD.
    All that s!

    These cases of disc HARD external are very good markets. I bought my drive enclosure external HARD on eBay and it s works well.

    But there is no other way to save the data as the Toshiba recovery disc erase the whole HARD drive and every disk HARD will be erased.

  • Re: Satellite M35 S359 - 'machine wrongly' while trying to use the recovery disk

    I used it several times without fail. After that the laptop started acting a little strange recently (malware maybe) I decided it was time to rebuild. This time, I had 'bad machine' attempt of recovery CD error. I installed the brand new Toshiba HD, but still the same error message.

    I've searched and searched and find it is a 'classic' error but with many varied suggestions correct - which none had me up and running.

    So I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    Hello

    It is model Toshiba U.S. and so I looked on the Toshiba page for some suggestions.
    And I found this doc from Toshiba:

    [How to eliminate the error message "Machine hurt" during the restoration of the image of the software factory (recovery CD): http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1031 711xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 59324518 & stateId = 1 0 59322815]

    As suggested in another thread, the information stored in the DMI may not correspond with the info on the recovery disk and so this message appears.
    I don't know if the doc of Toshiba will help you but it s worth a try m.

    If you will not find a good tool DMI, then you will need to request the ASP in your country a DMI update!

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite Pro A210, stil does not start after you use the recovery disk

    Hi, my computer laptop girls stopped booting, I tried everything to fix this, but it seems to be on a loop.

    He runs the repair of your computer, but after a while, I get the message, this computer cannot repair this fault automatically (or something similar), there is also a message that says - if you have connected a camera or to this computer's portable music player, remove it now and restart.

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with command prompt and last know good configuration but still no joy, so I eventually ran the recovery disc. Once it was finished, I was to square.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I can try next - other than to throw it out the nearest window.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Never heard talk of this error but sounds strange
    If I understood your first assignment; you were able to complete the installation of the OS from the recovery disc. Is this good?

    Well, in this case the HARD disk must be OK because the files were copied correctly

    I searched a bit in google and didn t have found a solution to 100%.
    Some have said that new OS install should solve this perhaps you could use clean up Windows Vista, Win XP disk

    You can also try to format the drive HARD integer first. Delete all partitions on the HARD drive, and then try again

    PS: You can check the HARD drive using the + Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. +
    Its free tool. You can find using google

  • Satellite L750-1LC - Boot Manager is missing by using the recovery disk

    I bought a Toshiba satellite L750-1LC and I try to create the DVD 4 to save.

    On the first dvd that only he came an error reading twice, the other DVDs were ok.
    When I try to recover from the DVD the recovery process got stuck on the first dvd so I had to reboot and try again, but the same thing happened to it.

    After you restart the system it came a message that bootmnager is missing and windows and any other thing was gone.

    Is the promotion of "No. Matter What Guarantee" "covering this type of flaws?
    If so, what are the steps to qualify for this promotion?

    I said that I am a Romanian citizen and I have already implemented for promotion in the specified time interval.

    It seems that the first recovery disk is not created properly because you got an error message.
    As I understand your message, you have tried to boot from the first recovery disc (which was not correctly created in the past) and so the installation could not be completed successfully.

    Now, you cannot start the operating system, because the Boot Manager is missing and possibly the system is deleted also
    I see just one solution: order the new disk recovery from here and use it for the installation of the OS: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite M300 - how do I back up the data before using the recovery disk

    Hello everyone,

    Today, I closed my laptop Toshiba Satellite M300.
    Just after a few seconds, it automatically in service and reported some "boot error".

    She also suggested I put on the recovery CD. When I put the CD, nothing happened.
    After awhile, I read the instructions in the CD cover that says that I have to hold the C button and it will start the recovery process.

    How the process goes, the system told me that all the files that I had in the computer would be removed.
    Is it possible how I could back up my documents before as I recover my Vista?

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me!

    Sincerely,

    Milan

    Hello

    If I understand correctly, you are not able to boot into the Windows operating system; According to the normal starting procedure or by using safe mode. Is this good?

    If Yes, then I don't see many options to get access to the files on the HARD drive.
    What you could try is to remove the HARD drive and use an external USB 2.5 enclosure to connect the HARD drive on another computer.
    Then you could test whether it is possible to access the HARD disk and save the data.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk does not any option that allows you to save the data, the drive formats the HARD drive and erases all partitions.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

    Hey

    I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

    My specs are:
    Intel Pentium

    > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
    You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

  • Satellite L450 - X 13 not turn on after using the recovery disk

    Problem climbed down after turning off suddenly. Initially could not get windows OS to work while I used the recovery disc. After it has been successfully used all of the computer has been cut and will not start (dead whole machine) despite the battery power and common alternative in place.

    When you press power button / stop the led green lights for a second and then immediately turns off, no attempt to start engine.

    Someone at - he seen this before or has any ideas?

    Remove the battery, disconnect the power supply, leave the laptop for now and try to start with power current only.
    The same thing happens again?

  • Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

    Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

    I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

    Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

    Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

    So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

    I thank everyone in advance.

    Happy new year :)

    Hello

    Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

    At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

    In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

    Hello

    What kind of DVD that you use to create a Toshiba Recovery disk? I have tried Verbatim DVD-R and TDK DVD-R and never had a problem with these discs. A friend tried DVD + R and he couldn t create a recovery disk. After he tried DVD-R and everything was fine but I do not know why this happened.
    So please try other discs.

    Also, check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of the CD/DVD drive. Maybe it will help you.

    How to use Recovery Disc Creator and what is the main function of Recovery Disc Creator?

    Hello

    I guess you didn't read the manual again because it explains quite well what is the recovery disk creator.

    However, this tool creates the Toshiba restore disk. This disc contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that the Windows operating system that is pre-installed with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It of easy to use (just boot from the disc), simply follow the instructions on the screen.

    For example, if you install another Windows or Windows peut t start you can use this disk to recover a system that works.

  • How to restart the Satellite 5200 801 without using the recovery disk?

    Hello
    I haven't used my Satellite 5200 801 for awhile and now it does not start. That's what I have on the black screen:

    Thanks for any help.

    > PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

    This message means that laptop tried to boot from LAN.
    Given that this was not possible the PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable appeared

    I guess that the HARD drive is defect and therefore, the laptop won't boot from the internal HARD drive.
    In this case also your internal data on the HARD disk are lost.

    But to be100% sure that you can remove the laptop HARD drive, could use a drive enclosure HARD 2.5 to connect the HARD drive to another computer just to check if you would be able to access data on the HARD drive

  • Satellite A300: Vista 64 bits after the new installation by using the recovery disk

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300 A300 / M00 and when I got it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. But after awhile, I started to have problems so I decided to reinstall Vista on my laptop. After crossing with the product recovery media, my system become so 64-bit.

    Was not my system suppose to have 32-bit when it was originally with her?
    If no, then how can I install 32 bit once more on my laptop like 64-bit gives me problems with the installation of some of my programs.

    If I need to buy a copy of Vista 32 Bit, where can I find the drivers for my system, because the product recovery media has all the drivers on this subject.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hmm. Your ad is a little confusing.

    Why would you say that Toshiba Recovery disk contains a version of Vista 64-bit?
    How did you check that?
    From my experience, the Toshiba recovery disc still contains the preinstalled operating system.

    Also as much as I know the new notebook from Toshiba are not delivered with the recovery disk, but with a HARD drive recovery option.
    This option allows you to reinstall the OS from the second partition of HARD drive recovery.
    Alternatively, you can use the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator software to create the own recovery DVDs! And this recovery disk contains the same preinstalled OS!

    Hello

    the HP recovery discs do not normally require an input key product on your part

    It's a good idea to always write it down in a safe place and away from the computer

    Unfortunately, these stickers wear away very easily

    and good luck with it
