On Portege M400 Vista recovery disc creation

I upgraded a M400 that came with XP to Vista Business. The Toshiba Recovery disk utility delivers a message 'no partition found HARD disk'. The management console displays a recovery partition - but there probably still recovery XP info.

Anyone have any ideas on how to transfer in a Vista recovery image in this partition? Is this available at Toshiba somewhere in the world? I can get my tech support people to hunt it if we know that there are...
See you soon

Hello

Maybe you should correctly format the drive and delete all partitions with an external program (like UBCD-> "Ultimate Boot CD") and then try again.

It may be that the XP recovery partition blocks the new recovery/installation process.

If I were you, I would try this format-thingy.

If not, take another HARD disk and try with that. ;)

See you soon

  • Recovery disc creation

    I have HP Pavilion dv5-1010et Entertainment Notebook PC. I entered Recovery Manager, you click on advanced, then selected Options create recovery disks and then press Next. Recovery Manager does not invite me to insert a blank CD, instead a dialog box appears with a red cross on the left saying "recovery disk was created. There is no CD or DVD inserted first Virgin. How to fix this problem? That hurt that I could not create recovery discs? I would appreciate help with this problem.

    @lauriej

    I'm sorry that you run also in this issue of recovery disc creation. You can also contact HP Technical Support at the 800.474.6836 to let them know that you have a problem, create the discs. As in the case of the CW4ZNS, the retailer may have created the disk but failed to give them.

    You can also create your own disc of Windows 8, however. Perhaps this is a faster option for you.

    Download the ISO of Windows 8 64-bit here

    ImgBurnto burn the ISO to a disc.

    If you need to use the drive, you will have to put the disc in, reboot and press F9 to the power of. Select your CD drive and start the installation. It will ask you the product key, and you can find that on the label of Microsft on the sides or the back of your computer. Once installation is complete, you will need to go to Your HP driver Page to download your drivers and software.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions on this

    Hey @Alessia_to,

    Before I provide documentation of troubleshooting, I would like to take a few minutes to welcome you to the community of Support HP, where you can ask questions, find solutions and get help from others in the community! I read your post and see that you need help creating recovery disks.

    Here is a document for you to read called create recovery discs or record a recovery Image on a USB Flash drive. I pulled some information in the document for you. The first thing that I would like to share with is only DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD + R or DVD + R DL disks are compatible with the design of recovery media program. The next disk types are not compatible with the design of recovery media program:

    • CDs
  • creation of base of vista recovery disc

    I would like to build a recovery for my laptop vista Basic. How can I do this

    Vista preinstalled:

    Most computer manufacturers have a feature to make your own recovery discs - check your manual if you don't know how (the process is different with each computer).

    Retail Vista:

    You can use a hard drive program imagery - both below both allow you to make a boot disk to start the recovery, and the two programs allow you to split the backup on several DVD. A system image will restore your computer to its state exactly when the image has been made - which will save you the trouble of having to reinstall Windows and installed everything currently at new, and it takes much less time to do.

  • Portege R600 Vista Recovery disk

    Hello world

    Is a possible way to recovery vista recover disk from toshiba?

    I have the recovery disk xp that comes with my toshiba r600, but is there a way to get the toshiba vista recovery disk? Download? or something?
    I didn't create drive recovery with vista... so is he lost? I do not really need vista OS but just in case, is it possible to recover it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    What OS came preinstalled on your Portege R600?
    Was it Vista?

    If so there should be an option that allows you to create a recovery disk.
    You can use the preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk which is able to create the recovery disk.

    But if you have already formatted the HARD drive then you will not be able to create this disc of recovery :(

    In this case, you should check this page:

  • Portege M400 - Vista installation under the version of BIOS 1.80

    Hello

    I came to the decision to install vista on my M400. I upgraded my BIOS to 3.40. However, I really only want the quiet fan so I was wondering if it was possible to run Vista under BIOS v1.80 and, if so, whether it would impact performance in any way.

    AFAIK Portege M400 (PPM40) is supported in Vista, but I don't really know what will happen with fan and noise. Just testing everything. If you don't like Vista, you can install recovery image at any time again.

  • Laptop HP 15-f162dx: THEIR is NO OPTION of DVD FOR DVD RECOVERY DISC CREATION IN the HP RECOVERY MANAGER'S

    I HAVE HP 15-f162dx NOTEBOOK PC in WHICH I AM creating RECOVERY DVD DISCS IN "HP RECOVERY MANAGER", BUT in THE "HP - CREATE RECOVERY MEDIA" IS NO OPTION TO CREATE a DVD. EARLY CLAIM.

    CONCERNING

    Ok.

    I don't see that as a real issue or problem.  The ability to create a recovery media is part of the purchase, and you do not have the ability to create a recovery media.

    Why don't you use the option of USB flash drive?

    The USB stick recovery is higher on the recovery DVD disc in a number of ways.

    (1) a usb flash drive are not damaged by just scratching the surface, unlike the DVD in a set of recovery disks. A scratch on the side of disc label #1 and the whole is unusable.

    (2) a recovery, when from a usb flash drive takes less than an hour, so that once made with one set of recovery disks can take up to four hours.

    (3) not all DVD media can be used to create a reliable recovery DVD media.

    (4) DVD media can be easily destroyed by heat, if you live in a region of the world where the temperature is normally high.

    (5) usb recovery media creation takes less than an hour, compared to the time it would take to make a recovery of the DVD disc.

    I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

    So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

    Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

    Hi Snen,

    It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!

    And what kind of DVD that you use to create a recovery disk? I have good experience with the types of DVD - R and I use Verbatim.

  • You place your order of Vista recovery disc

    Hello

    Have a Pavilion DV9000 (Service Tag: DV9824CA).  I lost my HD... need to replace.  Unfortunately, I didn't create the recovery discs when HD was alive (stupid me).

    I ordered the Kit of recovery Vista Home Premium 32B dual language at HP ($45).  The package came with only 1 DVD.  It is clearly stated on the DVD (1 of 2).  During the installation of the first DVD... He injects and asks for DVD #2... surprise, surprise... after many calls with HP support, they insist that this is a single DVD.

    Am I missing something here?

    Thank you!

    FYI... received a letter of apology from HP and 2 recovery DVDs Vista.

  • 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

  • Windows Vista recovery disc

    I can't load the Windows Vista recovery disks (3 in total).  The Recovery Manager has not opened.  I went up to step 3 only.  I guess the restore disc (CD 1) failed.

    Hello:

    Sometimes the recovery disks do not work for one reason or another.

    If you can still read all 25 characters of the Vista product key on the COA Microsoft sticker on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own Vista installation disc that should at least get an operating system reinstalled on your PC.

    Here's how:

    If you are in a fault light but rewarding you can do yourself if you can read your product key of Vista on the PC of 25 characters.

    You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    Do not take into account the part of the text in the first screen shot about "extract the files in the folder of Vista."

    The files were extracted already in this folder when you ran the X14.exe file by reading the text on top of the first screenshot.

    The other thing I noticed is on the 4th page, where it shows Developer ID Microsoft Corporation. I had to type Microsoft Corporation in me, and then the other codes already filled in.

    When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

    I selected no, make the ISO file.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them on my hp dc7100 CMT PC desktop computer, they worked perfectly.

    When you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    After you install Vista successfully, you can then install the drivers for your PC and driver page support.

    Update:  This is the new link to your own Vista installation media.

    Click on the link below and then click on the link PDF Guide of reinstalling Windows.

    Follow the instructions on pp 295-297.

    Hello

    Ways to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
