Question about recovery use DVD on Satellite A50

Hello

My son forgot where he put the recovery DVDs for the Satellite A50 laptop (bought in store for almost 5 years) future, he tried to install Windows XP using another CD.
Later, we found the recovery DVDs, but we can no longer use it.
Is it possible to delete the operating system and re-use the original recovery DVD?

Thank you

Preinstalled WXP has nothing to do with your try to install OS using recovery media.
I'm really confused why this is happening, but that s be clear:

Saved on recovery media recovery image is created for some portable model and cannot be used on another model of laptop. So before installing recovery starts, recovery image check and compare information with the laptop. If the information stored in recovery image correspond to the information stored on laptop recovery installation is possible, otherwise it will stop.

When the laptop is faulty or repaired service must be portable computer information with the good. If this is not the laptop can be recognized and recovery plant will be halted.

So if nothing is changed on the laptop my only theory is that there is something wrong with the recovery media.
You can send us all the information written on this recovery media (numbers)?

  • Question about the use of the Satellite Pro A60 fan

    Hello

    I intend to get a Satellite Pro A60 and I was wondering how much the fan turns on.

    Could someone comment if the fan turns on when the machine is totally inactive, and how he lights up when the machine is used for word processing and surfing the web?

    For example, when using normally does the fan turn on 1/10th of the time, or 1/2 time etc.?

    Thanks in advance,
    Pete.

    Hello

    Sorry I can't give you specific information about the cooling fan. A60 is known to me. It's a very nice laptop. Cooling vent is in reverse I am a pretty that there is no background noise.

    If you make the decision to buy it, look at what the capacity of the HARD drive is too high and that the DVD-ROM can burn a lot of different formats (DVD Super Multi drive).

    Have lots of fun with it.

  • Question about location battery RTC on Satellite A50-110

    Hello
    I need to replace the battery on my 110 SA50 RTC.
    Where can I find the battery in my laptop?

    Thanks for any help provided.

    James

    Hello

    Usually this should be replaced by the service partner or a technician with more experience as a common user like me and your.
    You know, books are a bit different as a desktop PC where the replacement is a little easier.
    However, as far as I know the RTC battery is placed near the LAN plug and modem jack and the cooling module. You need to remove the keyboard and the capital to replace something.
    In addition the RTC battery is covered by the RTC battery case.

    But as I said at the beginning, if you have no experience to ask ASP for help.

  • 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.

  • A few questions about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

    Hello guys,.
    I had a few questions about unpleasant surprises of recovery:

    (* 1) * I just make recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and he asked initially for 2 DVDs - but when one has been done it does not require a second blank DVD. Is it possible all the Windows Vista system files to write on 1 DVD?

    (* 2) * if I could reinstall Windows Vista using recovery of HARD drive option (by pressing F8) without using the recovery DVD?

    (* 3) * HARD drive partitions that will be formatted (just system C: or C: and E :) using HARD drive recovery?

    (* 4) * what is DVD - Image of the hard drives or the installation of Vista recovery files?

    Its pretty bad idea to not include BONES on DVD when I paid for it.
    Thanks for all the Toshiba problems :(

    1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I also have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and a DVD. I got it and after that, I have a clean install of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Nothing is missing.

    2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using recovery of HARD drive option when you press F8 at startup. You don't need the recovery DVDs, but you should create a when your HARD drive get some errors or something else. If you need a new recovery DVDs, you paid for one.

    3 HARD drive and complete partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD disk external DRIVE, USB stick or something else.
    After the reinstallation, you have factory settings.

    4. the recovery DVDs is an image of the HARD disk on the factory settings. If you perform a recovery, there are all the drivers and tools are already installed. Of course, on the disk are files of installations of Vista, but you can use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disc cannot be used on another Satellite or on a PC.

    If you have any other questions, take a look in the user manual. There are a number in the formations of the recovery. It s in Chapter 3.

  • 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.

  • Question on recovery of images for Satellite L555D - 1CW

    Hello

    The disc that came with the laptop, said "product recovery" and "windows 7 home premium.
    The system now [TYPE SYSTEM] 64-bit operating system...

    I'm confused, so the system must be 64-bit if its telling me this, so if ever, I just use the drive, I have a 32 bit OS... strange

    So toshiba include the disc now with computers laptops there, also when you use the creator of disc, you must use two drives, then why I alone, or the disc has only the operating system on it and not other software...

    To be honest I'm confused too.
    As far as I know that Toshiba doesn t give recovery DVD with laptops and all we need to create recovery discs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. So it's strange to me you have the recovery installation DVD. Usually after the first start, you will be asked which version must be installed.

    Is on this DVD recovery disc written which version (32 or 64 bit)?

    In any case, if you have 64-bit now create discs of recovery in any case.

    Please note: Toshiba offers never drives with OS only, just with the recovery image on it.

  • Recovery CD/DVD for Satellite Pro 6100 products?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro 6100 (model number: PS610E-029ZV-BE) second hand and have experienced a non-recoverable accident.

    I need to reinstall it, but as you can guess, I don't have the recovery CD/DVDs. Someone out there has them and could send/ftp a copy?

    I tried with an official windows CD XP Pro, but the key which is on the small sticker on the laptop is not accepted...

    I recommend you get a new set of CD recovery of an authorized Service Agent. They are not too expensive, I recall.

  • A few questions about the difference between the Satellite P70, L70, S70

    Hello, I have a lot of questions about the P70, L70, S70 series that come with a 1920 x 1080 panel.

    (1) what are the differences between the L70 and S70 series? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    (2) P70, L70, S70 doesn't support a 2nd HARD drive or it's just the P70 series that support?

    (3) all the three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?

    (4) of the above series, which supports mSata?

    (5) all the model of each series are delivered with support from mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?

    (6) all the foregoing, are delivered with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?

    (7) who is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.

    Thank you in advance.

    > (1) what are the differences between the series L70 and S70? With the exception of the RAM and HARD drive capacity, books seem pretty identical.

    What models Sat L70 and S70 do you mean exactly? There are different L70-xxx-xxx and S70 models on the market that supports different hardware specifications.

    (> S70 2) P70, L70, support a 2nd drive HARD or is - it just the series P70 that support?
    As you can see in this [Sam P70 HDD replacement document, | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3903II0000R01.htm] the P70 series supports the 2nd drive Bay HARD, BUT even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, this does not mean that you can use the 2nd HARD drive. In the case where the 2nd HARD drive Bay are equipped with HARD drive connector, you can use the 2nd HARD drive

    I also found the [Sam L70/S70 HDD replacement | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/CRU3703HG0000R01.htm] the document on the Toshiba page and there I see this 2nd HARD drive Bay is not available

    (> 3) all three (P70, L70, S70 series) come with the same TFT panels?
    See point 1). Different P70, L70, S70 models were equipped with different material parts.

    (> 4) of the series above, which takes in charge mSata?
    As far as I know that some P70 models are equipped with an mSATA SSD of 256 GB.

    (> 5) do all the model of each series are delivered with support mSata? For example, it could be that L70 - a - 13 m supports mSata is not the case of the L70-a-146?
    See point 4) not all models supports the same hardware specifications

    (> 6) all of the above, come with a S - ATA II or III S - ATA interface?
    I don t think that SATA III is supported. I guess it would be SATA II

    (> 7) which is the best of these series listed? I'm trying to understand what makes the big difference of S70 to P70 except for the envelope for example.
    Not easy to answer because there are too many models released in Europea.
    And not all models are available in each country. So I guess you will have to look for the models that have been released in your country.

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

  • Satellite A500 - 14Q - Question about recovery-DVD

    Hey,.

    My HD crashed recently. My laptop was still under warranty, so I send it back and they replaced the hard drive.

    When I came back, I installed Ubuntu and it works very well.

    But I need Windows Vista for computers in some programs (Visual C++, some games,...) that does not work under Wine. Given that I had not made a lot of things, I thought to use the recovery media. Normally, you should be able to do it from the configuration (hold 0 or F8). But it doesn't work (I get a different screen with no options).

    After some research, I realized I could order a recovery dvd. I wonder if this will work because my laptop is already running on ubuntu? And it will reinstall Vista?
    It would be stupid to more worn 30EUR for recovery dvd that does not. If this is the case, I'll just buy Windows 7, but that seems like a waste of money, since I had before my broken HD (free upgrade).

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Why use Vista on this machine? It must be supported Win7, so before you spend money for Vista old and not so perfect to buy Win7 and you will have great machine with the new operating system that works much better than old Vista.

  • Question about the use of recovery disks Vista Bus on T500 with XP Pro downgraded

    I searched to see if this has been addressed already and I don't see anything about it. I also looked through the Lenovo support site and could not find any documentation with specific information, that I'm looking. So, if all goes well, the people here will have an idea.

    I have a T500 which was ordered with retired on WinXP Pro. It also came with a set of Vista Business (four discs) recovery disks. I plan to get my machine with Vista business records and down XP Pro, but I had a few questions.

    1. as it currently stands, I guess that the R & R partition that is on the HARD drive at this time restoring a WinXP Pro system if I start and get back with her. Is this correct?

    2. If I boot from the recovery disc Vista Business and use it for the recovery of the system, it creates a new partition 'Factory' R & R which would incorporate a Vista Business install?

    I may be wrong on my assumptions and even after the start of the R & R partition, it is really the recovery disks that I choose to use that would dictate if I found myself with a XP or Vista Bus. System.

    For what it's worth, I created a set of recovery disc R & R for the installation of WinXP Pro in case I need to revert to this version.

    I hope that my question is logical and that someone out there has an answer for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    jskang, welcome to the forum,

    Yes on both counts.

    Removal of all the hard drive recovery disks, create the service partition and then the system installs from the recovery with the flavor of windows partition, so that the discs are.

    It was a good idea to create the XP discs.

  • Question about the use of product recovery

    I need to uninstall everything on my laptop, so I can start over with my product recovery CD. How to uninstall everything?

    Thank you
    Susan

    You do have to uninstall anything. All you need to do is put the delivered to your laptop recovery DVD and start the recovery procedure. To make this DVD player must be set as first boot device. To do this, you have three different ways:
    1. Enter the BIOS settings and you will find this option
    2. when the laptop starts up press F12 and follow the window you can choose DVD
    3. after the passage of press phone C button and keep it down for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the recovery DVDs

    If you have any other questions, please write again.
