• Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

  My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

  So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

  I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

  Hey,.

  Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

  So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

• Question about recovery on satellite disks series

  Hello world
  I had my equium for a week now and it already have mucked up. I managed to delete the partition hidden just reconfiguring the partitions on my HARD drive, is it possible to recover the hidden partition or that failing to get a set of recovery disks to reinstall vista.

  Thanks for your help. Paul

  The recovery DVDs must be included with your computer. I say 'should', mine was not, and I thought that the hidden partition has been used in one way or another to remaster my computer. When I went back to the store were I bought the computer told me that I would have to pay for the DVD for more than a month had passed since the purchase and it is my responsibility to check the contents of the box first. So, if you don't have the DVD. I invite you to come back to were you bought the computer very quickly.

• Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

  Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

  However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
  I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

  Any advice appreciated help.

  Hi tarajanes,

  To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

  Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

  In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

• Question about virtual disk

  I have a qustion about virtual disks

  I assigned 5 GB on a virtual disk. Then I realized that I need more space, so I changed to 20 GB.

  When I have energised the VM, it always complained not enough space. Even if I 'clearpart-set' in the startup script.
  I ended up remove the virtual disk and create a new one to solve the problem.

• Satellite 3000 - X 4: Question about recovery CD

  I was told that the recovery disk for the
  Satellite 3000 - X 4 Cel 933 MHz/128 MB / 15 GB / DVD / 14.1 TFT / XP IT

  DON'T FORMAT THE DRIVE, is that correct? I was struck by a virus and my pc is slow and stop often. Although I ran norton several times, it doesn't seem to help.

  I would like to do a clean install on this laptop. Does anyone has the steps to follow for a person non-techie? and once again the recovery disc formats the drive?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You have 2 options:

  1. standard mode: recover the entire hard drive: all data will be lost.
  2 expert mode: retrieve only the partition with windows on it: only data from this partition will be lost.

  If you perform a new installation, please use the expert mode and you'll be able to create two partitions. On the first, you need to install OS and the second that allows you to save all your data.

  Also check the other postings in the forum. You can use the advanced search.

• 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

• Question about Recovery Media Creator

  Hello everyone, first of all, I don't know if this should be in this category, but I thought it would be best to post in.

  My question is about the progress of the Recovery Media Creator. I was about to create the recovery DVD and I noticed that there are several support options for recovery (Recovery Media recovery media 3 1).

  My question is, what are the differences between them? No matter if I only check one of them, so I need less DVD or smaller USB?

  Thanks in advance.

  PS Excuse my grammar or bad explanation if there is no error.

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no difference between the to 3 1 recovery media recovery media.
  This info shows you ONLY the quantity of disks required.
  If you create a recovery using a DVD media, you might have more than one DVD disc.
  In case you create USB recovery media, you won't have many different memory USB flash keys.

• Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

  My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

  Hello

  > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
  What's the problem?

• A few questions about recovery on P100-400

  Good evening everyone,

  I have a few questions on the recovery of my laptop...

  So I thought that if the only way to clean my entire drive is to use the recovery DVDs?
  I ask this question because I think the computer becomes too 'heavy' applications, with which he came. So I was wondering if I can format the hard drive rather than get it back.

  If I format the drive I lose warranty? Is there any future problem with genuine software?
  It is possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the real windows xp media center) with the original operating system product key?

  Thank you.
  Best regards.

  Hello

  I'll try to give you some answers and I hope this will help you.

  I don't understand what you mean I can format the hard use rather than retrieve it but you can follow: install OS using delivered support recovery and after having done this remove all applications, you do not need. After that it maybe your laptop won't be heavy more.

  N ° something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to the livery and pre-installed with the OS.

• Question about recovery CD

  Hello world

  I have a Toshiba satellite M30 and it comes with 2 recovery CD (CD 1/2 & 2/2). Unfortunately, one of the CD is damage and no longer works. My question is, first of all, how can I get the new recovery CD. I hope you tell me exactly who to contact here on Toshiba site or please copy - paste the link to people who can help me.

  Secondly, is it possible to have the recovery CD copied to a flash drive to avoid damaging the CDs are likely to suffer? Finally, it is necessary to use the same CD provided with there laptop or I can use the CD to other types of laptop Toshiba to my friends?

  Joe, UNITED KINGDO, COLCHESTER.

  Hello

  1. new media for recovery, you can order by the authorized service partner. The addresses you can find on Toshiba European page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & downloads > find an authorized service provider.

  2. the recovery image is large enough and I don't think that you can save it to the flash drive. By the way: you can not start flash drive and because of that it's a bad idea. After the configuration of the entire computer, best solution is to create the own image using Norton ghost software. The image is created, you can record on CD, DVD, or even on the second partition (I do). On this way you can always have it by you.

  3. you may not use another recovery CD. Each image is designed for the specific cell phone model. You can simply use the facilities Microsoft CD and install all the drivers and all the stuff only Toshiba subsequently.

• Question about recovery for Satellite Pro A120-185

  I had a with the laptop recovery CD. I wonder if he has the operating system also (windows Vista) and I have the right to request a copy of the operating system?
  Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  And how to restore to factory State with the combination of keys on keyboard to image on the hard drive? This also restores programs and everything too?

  Hello

  You bought the laptop with pre-installed Vista OS?
  If so, the recovery CD should contains the operating system Vista, all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities and additional software.

  > Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  Yes, as I said above the Toshiba on the restore CD image contains everything; Operating system, drivers and programs.

  If you use the recovery for the reinstallation CD, you will set the laptop to factory settings.
  But beware, this procedure will format you whole HARD disk and will delete the existing partitions.

  If you want to install from the recovery CD, try to boot from this CD and follow the guide line. It is very easy.
