• Satellite U400 - how to return to the format of partition with HDD Recovery

  Hello

  I bought a new notebook Satellite U400 with Vista Home preinstaled thereon.
  I went through the initial configuration and once it was done, I realized that making the partitions of HARD drive does not fit my needs.

  So I resised the partition of 'Vista' (acctually I shrunk it) and made the largest partition of 'Data'.
  I did not do anything with the hidden partition.

  Unfortunately, when I did this procedure I formatted the 'Data' partition.
  Now, when I want to make the backup with TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator DVD I got the error message saying that it is not possible because I formatted the 'Data' partition.

  Is there a suggestion how to fix this error?
  The system's fine, the only thing is that I'm not able to save and restore the operating system.

  Thanks Vecerka

  It wasn't good buddy. If you deleted the partition of HARD drive recovery, then you would not be able to restore it!

  Now, you need a new DVD of recovery!

  Hello

  At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

  In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
  The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

  This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

  I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

  I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

• Pavilion dv2700 Notebook with VISTA Recovery

  Pavilion dV2700 Entertainment PC

  Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @1.83 GHz

  3 GB RAM

  WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM SP2

  A defragmentation was attempted due to the slowdown operation. But he ran for nearly 18 hours without completing.  Someone, then power off the computer.  For a month or two things seemed normal.  Could not install some windows updates, McAfee Virtual Technician showed a corrupted file to DAT (DATT?) then a few apps installed at the factory would not work, etc. However, a lot of things like email, Adobe Reader and many other programs seems to operate normally.

  Backup/restore does not work: Can not repair points create or restore to a previous One

  I tried to boot into repair and a corrupt system file could not be repaired.

  I decided that the best solution is to try just a full recovery from the recovery on the D drive Partition or attempt a recovery from recovery disks that were created when the computer was first put in place.

  I backed up our personal data.

  I have a physical drive with two were installed by the factory.

  Here are my questions some with comments:

  1. Is it possible that the HARD drive was damaged when the computer is turned off?  I have run CHKDSK on drive C and he found no problem he couldn't fix it. At least I don't think so. So I think that there is probably no damage on the C drive.   These are the characters off results CHKDSK of the event viewer:

  Windows has checked the file system and not found any problems.

  231946438 KB total disk space.
  87052228 KB in 227460 files.

  0 KB in bad sectors.

  4 096 bytes in each allocation unit.
  57986609 total allocation on the drive units.
  36100435 allocation units available on disk.

  2. is it safe to run CHKDSK on the drive D Partition Recovery?  I do that to look for damage I did in "1" above.

  3. If I try again it would probably be best to use the recovery rather than the Partition disks?  I say this because it seems that the operating system on C files were corrupt and possible, I suppose, that the files on the recovery partition D were as well.

  I appreciate any help/advice you can give.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You are welcome

  I'll check the thread later tomorrow so let me know how you go with the recovery.

• Problems with Toshiba HDD Recovery

  Hello

  A few days ago, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite notebook, everything was going well until I started to delete or disable the programs that have been added automatically with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on the HARD drive,
  because for me, most of them is really unnecessary and everytime when I checked the Task Manager it had before any process of more than 80.
  If everything seemed great until I rebooted the computer, after that there wasn't one more chance to log in windows, I tried several times, but without effect, even I tried via safe mode.
  It seemed like they were reduced.
  So I decided I will upload I want to install the new Windows 7 different version on the HARD drive, without thinking that he might restart former.
  and the problem started here because the hardware does not recognize the new version of Windows, I have all the drivers, I tried to download and add them, but did not work.
  Even Device Manager does not properly because it does not show same me I have the graphics card ATI, network card...

  I know I reacted stupidly, but is there a possibility that I can reboot, reinstall the old primary windows again, because I didn't erase them or I na not format the HDD but I installed the new version on
  One older so that they are still in place on the HARD drive, but under another brand windows.old.
  I also have on the other HARD drive recovery partition, or it's just better to him distribute service where they can solve the problem.
  If you have any tips or advice please tell me!

  Thanks for your response

  AL

  Oh AL what are you doing man. I mean why do you all this?
  The first step, you must do it with the new device is to check the s manuals and pick up some info about your new product.

  In this manual is clearly described that original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and very important, is to create recovery DVD that you can use in the case if the HDD recovery procedure will not longer work.

  So what you have now?
  -screwed to the top of operating system
  -Nothing in the hand who can help you with recovery of OS install

  Only thing you can try now is to start HARD drive recovery in the hope that everything will work OK.
  Here the instructions how to do this > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  If this does not work, you have a big problem.
  Anyway send comments and let's see what you can do as the next step.

• After an automatic update of Windows and stop, Firefox does not remember my tabs open at startup. Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow?

  Better Privacy does interfere with Crash Recovery somehow? My computer is automatically installed a Windows Update at 03:00 and switch off. When I started out, I had to restart Firefox. Firefox came without any of the tabs that were open when the PC went to bed the previous night. I spent an hour looking for what happened to my tabs, without success.

  This has happened

  == Automatic update of Windows shut down my computer in the middle of the night.

  Hello.

  It is possible that it was by force the windows closed so your firefox which makes you forget... Have you tried to crash your Firefox to see if the session is not restored?

  To plant your Firefox, simply there open, press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC and then, on the process tab in the window that appears, complete the process firefox.exe. That will force Firefox to close at this moment. Do start again. If it works, ok, so it may have been a case isolate. My recommendation is to configure your windows does not install updates without your intervention. Choose something like 'ask me what to do' or something like that.

• Do not have "Toshiba HDD Recovery" on Satellite U300-151 with Vista

  I have problem with Vista - it became too slow so I want to get back to factory settings.

  I went through the process described in [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm] and then, instead of "Toshiba HDD recovery" as a last option-, I have 'Restore the full Windows operating system' which is the last one after 'comand prompt. When I click on that I get another box with warning by saying "when you reinstall windows OS reformats the hard drive and all data will be lost" and "If the preinstalled files are damaged you can use the product recovery disc (which I don't have)" and there are no other or any button except OK which I click and it just brings back me to the list "System Recovery Option"...

  I have Toshiba recovery disc creator no - it was not pre-installed when I bought computer - even if I had all the other software from toshiba.

  And I know that I can buy the recovery disk, but I don't think that pay 30 dollars for something that I should have had with the computer: and my computer is still under warranty.

  Delivered using the recovery media, you will be able to install Vista.
  Recovery image contains all of the drivers, tools and utilities, and after the installation of clean operating system, you should not install some additional software.

  Bye and good luck!

• Pavilion dm4 2191us: restoring a backup made with HP Recovery Manager - data recovery manager has since been removed

  My system (portable Pavilion dm4, Win 7 Home Premium x 64)) is works well but I would like to restore a backup of data made with HP Recovery Manager. HP Recovery Manager has since been removed from the system and I don't have a recovery disk. I tried to install sp45415 that supposedly runs a silent installation for the Recovery Manager program, but it fails silently on my system. The notes say that it applies to Windows 7 computers and the Pavilion dm1 and dm3. There is no mention of the dm4.

  Y at - there a trick to getting sp45415 to work properly?

  Y at - it somewhere that I can download an installation package for HP Recovery Manager that works on the Pavilion dm4?

  Is there another tool that can restore the backup made by HP Recovery Manager?

  Thank you!

  If you have uninstalled Recovery Manager he probably removed the recovery of files in the recovery partition. When these files are not deleted download Recovery Manager will install. You will need a recovery media to boot from to restore the files and the recovery partition. If you do not have a recovery media you order from HP.

  As for the files you are trying to restore - if it's a backup of personal files, photos, etc. to the outside hard disk or DVD must be a file .exe inside these files, probably of Restore.exe or Recover.exe. Double click on the .exe will extract files to a folder on the hard drive of your laptop.

• How to create a recovery disc with all vista updates?

  original title: how to create a recovery disc with all vista updates without starting from scratch, so I can replace my hard drive?

  My hard drive seems to be dying.  I would replace the drive.  I reloaded vista from scratch with all the updates, but it took forever.  I would like to make a record of recovery with all updates.  IAM on vista Home premium.  32 bit

  If you want a good backup program that backups image, I recommend Acronis True Image 2010:http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/.  It offers a free trial, so you can test and if you want it's only about $30 for the original version.  A lot of people I know this program and use it instead of Vista even in versions of Vista that offers imagery as this program does a better job.  Of course you also need a place to put the backup (which will take a lot of space), so also consider.  The best choice would be a USB external hard drive at least as large as the readers you want to back up (not only the data on them, but the entire available disk space, so you miss when you add more information about the disks).

  You cannot use IMGBURN do - it can't do anything like that.  It must be the imagery of backup software.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Computer laptop Pavilion G6 with 8.1 window is stuck on the installation of updates

  Hi my old laptop Pavillion G6 of 12 months (which was the worst computer I've ever owned!) is stuck on an update. The screen shows the message "Keep your PC up to... this installation to update 1 of 2" for 12 hours (overnight).

  A little over 2 weeks ago he had a problem with the WiFi connection - which also seems to be associated with the Windows updates - I got this one and it has been fine since then. Started an automatic update last night and now he's stuck. Any ideas?

  Hi Jamame,

  Thanks for your post, I will do my best to help you!

  I see that your computer did an update for more than 12 hours and has not completed or seems to have improved.

  First of all you could cancel the update, restart the computer.  Then you would go The HP Support Assistant to search for updates or problems. Here is a document to help performance. Improve the performance of the system without adding memory (Windows 7). I would also like to launch the File Checker.  Using the File Checker system to restore the system files. Now repeat your update with her power.

  If you want more help, please can you give us the exact model of the G6 you and the operating system you are using. How can I find my model number or product number?

• Is it a good idea to replace the 2.5 "HDD (with partition recovery inside) with a SSD?

  Hi all

  I have a ThinkPad E420 with the recovery partition in the HARD drive. I intend to sell the excessive 750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive and replace it with a 120 GB SSD, because I need responsiveness instead of ability. Is this a good idea?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

• Pavilion g6-1d21dx: no luck update Pavilion g6-1d21dx to SSD

  I tried to replace the hard drive in my g6-1d21dx with a SSD Pavilion before enjoying the free update of Windows 10. I installed the drive (a unit of SanDisk Extreme 480 GB that I had sat unopened for a while) and then used my recovery discs for Windows 7 on SSD. The process seemed to go very well - he went through all the discs five recovery, restarted from the SSD and began the installation process. Soon, I got an error message "restoration incomplete" well. So much for that. (The HP Recovery Manager also gave me this incredibly helpful explanation: "there could be unexpected reboot phase Specialize in BBV1.) ("The process will cause panic CTO because the image might not be normal") on the reset, I also had an error message about ntoskrnl.exe is damaged or missing.

  I put the original back drive computer to and updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on this drive, just to get the license Windows 10 (it was the last day to get the free upgrade). I also used Windows 10 media creation tool to create a Windows 10 installation DVD. Then, I put the SDS back to and I tried to install Windows 10 using the DVD. I tried several times, but the installation has always fails. I got error messages like "Windows could not set the offline locale information. "Error code: 0x80FE0000" and "we could not format the selected partition. [Error: 0 x 8070057]. "I've also had this a few times:"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows cannot read the selected drive. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Windows has no determine if this disc and his parents have the necessary driver support. »

  This computer isn't all what age - it is possible that the BIOS does not support the SSD? I updated the BIOS of the SSD, but that has not solved the problem. I also made sure the BIOS of the computer is up to date.

  Thanks in advance for any relevant information.

  Here are the conclusions that I have reached after spending a lot of time on this project to upgrade:

  At the beginning of this thread, what you advised me strongly to clone my old hard drive instead of trying a new install of Windows 10 on my SSD. I recommend the contrary unless your system works perfectly with your old hard drive, because this way, you can leave the system, the software and the data files on your old hard drive intact in case you go account you have to go back and check on something or you decide to abandon the upgrade. I found that there is no mystery to a cleaning only install on an SSD, as long your SSD is compatible with your computer. I had updated my old HDD from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and after this upgrade, I was getting other error messages every time, I started the computer (inaccessible_boot_device, unexpected_store_exception and kernel_data_input_error). Since there are so many problems on my old HDD, I have probably restores it to Windows 7 so I can always, in case I ever need to refer to my old configuration. Web sites said that once that Windows 10 has been enabled on your computer, future Windows 10 installs on the computer is automatically turned on, even if you have restored the machine to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

  If you try a new installation, make sure that you do so with an attached network cable. It makes a huge difference for me. A clean install without a connected network cable has led to all sorts of problems, including a lack of access to the Internet and some devices are not installed correctly. When I did a clean install with an attached network cable, all of my devices have been installed automatically. This includes the Synaptics touchpad, the HP wireless button, the AMD Radeon graphics card and the Realtek card reader. I didn't need to install whatever it is myself, and the Device Manager does not display the unknown devices. Wireless network connected during installation, even my Wi - Fi was not usable during or after installation.

  One final note: my g6 Pavilion is 64-bit capable, but I installed 32-bit Windows 10 on it, because I use an old software running under Windows 64-bit 10. So far, 32-bit Windows 10 seems to work very well.
