     Hello

     If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
     You have the address of the guy?

     Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

     But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

      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.

      Good bye

      If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
      You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

      For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
      If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

  15. my computer cannot read the startup disk.

      Hello
      I tried to reinstall the operating system using a boot disk. The computer to load the part of the program, but then I get a pop up window telling me that I have to re - install windows. I tried everything and the computer will not accept the disc. The boot floppy is the manufacturer, and it has worked before. I don't know what to do. I have to buy a new hard drive to perform a new installation?

      If you have problems with the manufacturer's recovery disk, you will need to contact them.
      It is the manufacturer, not Microsoft software/process.

      You reinstall Vista using a DVD of Vista, or the manufacturer's recovery disc.

      Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

      Here's the General info re do a restore to factory settings:

      How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

      There is no Vista free download legal available.

      Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

      Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

      See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

      Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

      Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

      They will tell you how to do this.

      Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
      A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
      The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

      There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

      If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

      Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

      At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  18. Equium L20 - cannot complete the recovery procedure - disk error

      Hello

      I have a laptop Equium L20 and whats happened is, during a recovery of product, he gets to 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

      Now when I turn on the laptop, I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing.
      I was informed that my drive is probably broken and I now no operating system but I am a complete computer novice so don't know how it is.

      I took the laptop to PC world a few years ago and they run a recovery of product but I did not my drive, so I want to know is, is it possible to run recovery without the disc?
      (seems to me just don't forget the sound by pressing a few buttons)

      If so, how?
      And if not what someone have any suggestions as to how I can restore the computer?

      Thanks in advance

      Hello

      > during a recovery of product, sometimes about 25% then emits an error at me and stops working.

      As you mentioned, possibly recovery disk is defective, broken, or similar, this could be the reason why the CD/DVD drive is not able to read the disc and the installation breaks upward.

      You cannot get this phone without the recovery disk! It is an old series laptop and it does not support the HARD drive recovery process, as do other mobile most recent.

      If you have only two ways to install the Windows operating system; you need to use the Toshiba recovery disc (which seems to be broken) or you can install the operating system by using the Microsoft Windows XP disk.

      If install you the operating system using the disk of MS original then you need to install the drivers of Toshiba which are placed on the European driver Toshiba page (look in the archives).

      PS: maybe you could try to burn (copy) the recovery disk using another computer.
      In some cases of the different drives are able to read scratched discs.
      If you want to be successful and if you want to be able to copy the recovery disk, you can then use the new disk in order to restore the operating system on your computer satellite phone.
