Portege M500 - how to create recovery DVDs?

Hi there :)

I bought Toshiba Portege M500. Anyone know how to create a CD/DVD of recovery on this model?

I installed the "recovery CD creator" but - I just can't create it. The only thing that came on the screen is: Qosmio Player recovery CD.

On the help page - there are instructions to create the disk - but the options were not available to me. (i.e. the system recovery disc option)

Help, please! I would really appreciate it!

Sophie

Hello

Portege M500 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option?
Did you find the information you need to create a recovery disk in the user's manual?

Where did you find the "Toshiba recovery CD creator"?
This tool has been pre-installed?

I guess that there is no image on the HARD drive files that are needed to create the recovery disk Toshiba and so you can't create it.

    Hello

    Recovery DVDs can be created with the special tool only. The name is Toshiba Recovery creator. This tool is part of the Vista installation only factory settings.

    So now, you can not create recovery media and there is no way to launch the installation of F8 HARD drive recovery. I do not understand why you ignored Toshiba reminder on creating recovery DVDs.
    Anyway, you can order the new copy under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Portege R600 - cannot create recovery DVDs

    Hello! I just bought Toshiba Portege R600-146 and attempted to create a DVD with the system recovery but DVD drive does not recognize DVD discs and fails the diagnostic test PC CD/DVD Toshiba. I can't even create a backup of the system.

    Is it a software fault (Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 844 S USB Device drivers or compatibility with Windows 7) or the material, and how can this be resolved?

    Hi Dmitry_3,

    Have you already checked if the CD/DVD drive is properly recognized in Device Manager or it appears with a yellow exclamation point?

    In this case, it might help remove upper and lower filters:
    + 1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit).
    + 2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} +.
    + 3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters". +
    + 4) reboot. +

    Thank you
    in fact, I have a Toshiba P300-22F,
    There is a hard drive failure, because I changed the C: partition size
    I have to restore the player to factory default state using the recovery DVD,
    but I don't create this DVD.

    One of my friends has a model Toshiba P300 - 1 5.
    so I try to create this DVD form his computer...

    Hello

    At first I want to give you advice on DVD, you must use. For a successful recovery creation DVD use DVD-R virgins. I created several media recovery on the models of different laptops, with DVD-R media always worked.

    On the market there are several portable Satellite and Satellite Pro P300 and image is not the same for each of them.
    Just for info:
    -Satellite P300-1GL I needed a blank media only, but
    -for Satellite Pro P300-149 I needed two of them

    So I think that you need one. When you start 'Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' and choose the media you want to use it, you will be informed how many of them do you need.

    Good bye

  • Portege Z30 - how to create the new partition on SSD

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Portege Z30 with a 512 MB SSD. In addition to the C partition, I would D for the work and E for personal stuff.

    By default, the laptop came with only C, but the disc already has 4 partitions:
    -a healthy active recovery of 1.46 GB partition
    -c a partition
    -a 16 GB Hibernation partition
    -a healthy 11.55 GB primary partition called drive HARD recovery when I use MiniTool Partition Wizzard

    I managed to get 300 GB of unallocated space, but I can not use this space to create D and E, apparently because the MBR does not support more than 4 partitions.

    Question: should I have all these partitions Toshiba? Is there a workaround for D and E? Can I create a USB drive recovery system and get rid of the recovery partition?

    Thank you

    Before starting any discussion, I hope you didn t screwed up something. Why?

    When you get laptop it has the factory settings and just with the factory settings, you will be able to create a media recovery (DVD or USB depending on the model). I hope this isn't too late now.

    Try to create a recovery media as soon as possible please.
    Post it please comment how it works. I hope that everything will be OK.

  • Portege Z830 - Unable to create recovery media

    I'm trying to create a recovery media on my portege Z830 with the "toshiba recovery media creator.
    Unfortunetely, it says "no zone of restaurants on the disc": the only thing I did was to create an inactive partition with Windows Disk Manager.
    I checked, the recovery partition exists.
    With the warranty, will I receive a free restore DVD?

    > the only thing I did was to create an inactive partition with Windows Disk Manager.
    That of the problem. Pre-installed application is designed to find the recovery image on specific position using what is called markers.
    Now the application is confused and can't find it.

    Why didn t ask here what you can do until you have made the decision to change something?

    To get the disc for free? I put t know if it will work. Problem is that your obligation is to read s operating manuals and learn about your new product, before changing anything.
    You can try to contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help. That's all that I can say at the moment.

  • How to create recovery CDs Qosmioplayer on Qosmio G35

    I just bought a G35 "re-certified factory". I know that it is an American model, but American support site doesn't have a forum this good.
    Apparently, the Qosmio G35-AV600 model, it is not possible to create a recovery Qosmio player once CD DVD recovery Qosmio has been used to restore the software 'image' on the computer's hard disk drive. If I try to create a the Qosmio player recovery CD, the computer ejects the blank CD, and the following error message will appear:

    «File has been deleted or co...» "

    This is because the utility program that creates the Qosmio player recovery CD is not reinstalled by the Qosmio Recovery DVD, even if all other software is reinstalled successfully.
    The laptop came with a recovery qosmioplayer CD. I downloaded the "Qosmio Player Utility for Windows XP" on the following Web site:

    http://askiris.Toshiba.com/

    All he seemed to do was run installshield (XP) and unzip some files on the 'c' drive, but who has still no effect. Apart from asking Toshiba to send me the recovery disc, is there something I can do?

    Hello Slim

    Toshiba laptops we are not known to me and I put also t know how they are delivered, but I can give you some info on European Qosmio models.

    Each laptop Qosmio (G30 as well) comes with recovery media (recovery media Qosmioplayer and Recovery DVD for the installation of the OS). Because of this, it is not possible to create any recovery media. Qosmioplayer is not part of the operating system and not installed on the Windows partition.

    Qosmioplayer is Linux based on reader and pre-installed on some unpartitioned HARD disk. AFAIK utility Qosmioplayer is created to import films registered in the Windows operating system to allow watching, editing and also save them on CD or DVD.

    The fact is that you cannot create Qosmioplayer recovery on your own media. I'm sure that the American units are designed and pre-installed on a same or similar principle.

  • How to create recovery discs?

    I just went to the Geek Squad to fix a problem (fixed) and the guy suggested I have reinstall windows because my computer is slow. I just need to know how to create the recovery disks?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer to make recovery disks.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    Each manufacturer has their own way to do it.

    E-mail/phone them, or look in a manual or on their Web site.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    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.

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

    Ask them if 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 own way of making recovery disk/s.

    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.

    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.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 how to use recovery DVD-ROM with vmware products

    Hello

    I like to use the recovery DVDs of product (T201651-GR) of my Satelite Pro 6100 on VmWare player, because I use openSUSE Linux as main operating system (not Windows installed on the hard disk).
    I do like install and save hard disk laptop, so that to restore later inside the vmware. If it works?
    I wonder if someone can tell me how to use my legal version of Windows XP on VmWare player?

    Thank you in advance,

    Hello

    I doubt that it works with VmWare.
    Why?
    Because the restore CD contains the ghost image files and you will need to boot from the recovery CD for installation.

    So I see the chances of getting this job running VmWare.

  • How to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro and an external DVD burner?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a DVD with DVD Studio Pro. My internal DVD drive no longer works. I have an external DVD burner - slim portable DVD writer. I create the project into DVD Studio Pro, and when in the program, it works fine when I "stimulate". Well, I can't burn it.  When I look for the external DVD writer in my finder, it is not and I don't know how or where to select the option so it is programmed to burn the external DVD writer. Any advice? Thank you have a great week.

    I found a thread that has addressed this issue, but does not help me to solve my problem. Meg the dog was told this to her in question written by Scott Stark. I tried his solution of generation and format, but after pressing the burn a window appears saying "insert disc please insert acceptable DVD recordable media."  I tried to use another blank DVD, it did not help. I use Word for Word, I heard that those who are the best blank DVDs, you can buy. Thanks again for your time!
