Question about Tecra M4 system restore disks

I am looking to buy a Tecra M4. Toshiba provide a "correct" restoration method I have no problems with restore disks, but have had problems with windows restore sometimes. They provide a factory restore disc or I have to look at the creation of a Ghost disk.

I need to know just if I can start lookging for a good approx. ghosting before buying.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Robert,.

Portable Toshiba computers are sold with an OEM "bundle" of the software. This means that you will receive either a CD/DVD that contains an image that can be restored to the full version of the software, or a file preloaded on your laptop from which you can create your own drive can be restored.

This disk can only be used to completely restore your system to its original factory condition, and you cannot use it to selectively restore files or individual components.

You can also receive a tools and Utilities CD/DVD that contains specific Toshiba provided to public services.

If you want to create your own backup copy of your data/system files, then you will need to invest in one of the packages commercial (I use Acronis True Image myself) as well as an appropriate external environment (I use a USB hard drive).

  • file missing or corrupt XP Windows, system restore disks do not work. Help, like xp, like vista or win 7

    My desktop has windows xp media center edition with Service Pack 3 for years, there work and maybe it's time to junk food, however my laptop has windows vista, which I don't like, I have seen windows 7 and am not fond of him either, so what can I do? When I load the system restore disks that it doesn't load until a certain point where it says it is to copy the files, then tells me that the restore is complete. When to start again, I said the file "\system32\hal.dll ' is corrupted or missing and reinstall... How do I do that?  Thanks for any help.

    I'm writing this in case others have had the same problem, I had and it was impossible to restore.

    When I pressed "del" and got the installer, I looked in the first box, product information.

    This info was typed in a field of google search on a working pc, and I discovered that I could restore my pc by pressing the ALT key and pressing F8 repeatedly. It will work for Acer Asprire anyway. Just an idea for all those who were distraught as I was and knew nothing about the restoration or what my pc really was. I was lucky and got my restored xp, it works ok and I enjoy it once more.

    Good luck to all of you who have had the same problem I did.

    Whenever I turn on my pc, I find the time to scan the disk and chjeck to find errors etc, just to try to avoid

    you do not etc system restore disk cleanup to put your computer to the standards of the factory how you bought it if that's what you hear

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of vista recovery discs and also ask them if you have a vista recovery partition on your hard drive to reinstall vista back to factory standards

    you will normally need to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process vista back to factory standards

    Ask them the sequence of keys to use to start the process from the recovery partition

  • Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm system restore disks required

    I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ50-139wm.  The hard drive has been damaged without repair possible and I put a new hard drive in it, but I have system restore disks.  They are no longer available for purchase.  Anyone know where I can get a set?  The original operating system is Windows Vista.

    Hello:

    I don't see that HP has them.

    It would link to the recovery media to order on the Vista 32 bit laptop driver page.

    But can call HP and ask first. Maybe you can order them by phone and they would cost less ordering them to surgeons in the computer.

    If HP does no more, you can still get this provider on the link below.

  • Satellite L 40 Vista Premium - cannot read the original system restore disk

    My satellite L40 was bought a year ago, and so far I never needed the system restore CD. But now I have a missing system file so I will try to re - install. But my computer will not read the CD, if I insert it before starting my computer or windows Vista.
    Is there a way I can download the CD to restore the system on the Internet?

    Hello

    No you can't download because that would hurt microsoft license stuff. I recommend you ask a partner in your country for replacement, if your machine is still under warranty.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro P200 - 1EE: Question about two partitions on the disk with Vista

    Hello

    I've had my laptop for 2 months now and when I click on computer to watch my hard drive there are two; 1 called vista (: c) and other data (: E).
    Why is it two hard disks?
    And called Vista one 21.5 GB free and the other has 71.2 GB free.
    So if we get full my laptop will automatically use it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    According to my experience, the Vista operating system to the second partition for data backup. It s necessary and important if you want to restore or repair the Windows operating system. This is a new feature in Vista!

    > So if you get full my laptop will automatically use it?
    No, it will automatically switch to the other partition if the first partition is full.
    You must point to the second partition if you want to store data on this second partition.

    Best regards

  • Question about Tecra 510CDT computer laptop CD Rom drive

    Hello

    A friend just bought this laptop second hand. Everything seems very well despite the age. The only problem is when I swap the floppy for the cd rom drive drive. The screen is blank, the cursor hangs and then the laptop crashes completely.

    When I originally put the CD-ROM on the laptop, it seems to be taking place, in that the drivers recognition process where apparently being installed (we have no disk windows 98), so I assumed it was launching this process that everything was fine. But when I put a cd in the drive, the message: there is no cd rom on that computer drive came! I tried several times, and the same problem occurred. I checked the Device Manager and there is no cd drive. I tried to go into the multimedia program, but there is nothing on the cd rom. But there is a cd rom drive help and how to use it. So I'm pretty confused as to what could be the problem. Do I need to get a cd rom drive new/second hand? I thought about the drivers and download them but as we drive to the web I don't have access to the internet. Help with this would be so much appreciated.

    I'm no afficiando on computers, so any information base or advice to help me get started would be great.

    Thank you
    K

    Hello

    I have no adequate response, because this device is not known to me (almost 10 years). The fact is that if you look at the Toshiba download page you will find drivers for Windows 95 and not for 98.

    He has also voted player of CD-ROM. try to install it. Either way, I found information that the CD-ROM drive on this unit is not bootable.

  • A few questions about the CD of restoration Satellite 2410

    I put a new HARD drive in my Satellite and I recently put a partition on the drive (c: and d :) readers. If I run the recovery cd, it reformatted the whole drive as a single unit or can I put it to format only the c: partition. I really don't want to format the two sections that I have much irreplaceable data on my d: partition.

    Cheers for any help.

    James

    Hello

    Yes, it s possible to copy only on the c: drive. You must choose expert mode when you start the recovery. With this mode, you have access to the tool of ghost, when an option is specified that is called "copy image" (it looks like :)). There should be some options like:

    -copy the image to the disc
    -copy the image to the partition

    and so on. But the important option is (especially for you) 'copy the image of the partition' which is the option to copy the data on the system disk.

    I hope I could help you...

  • Question about the operating system reinstall on Portege R500

    I bought the version of 64SSD R500, and for some reason any that it struck me to check if there was a DVD player to this topic.

    It was rather annoying.

    I know it's easy to buy an external drve to copy software etc on the Portege, so this isn't so bad.

    However, I'm considering a re - install, possibly to XP, but maybe just to reduce the amount of repulsive of bloatware I had on my computer when I turned on.

    Now to the crux of the matter: if I use an external USB drive, I need USB drivers. If I delete the operating system, which will remove the drivers.

    Finally, my question is: how in the name of hell is someone supposed to put a new installation in a R500?

    Thank you for your patience.

    I understand everything up to the point with the bloatware.

    But what I Don t understand is: what do you want with a USB hard drive? I hope that you don t average a USB - HDD (it s a bit confusing). ;)

    Usually, you can use all the drives without the need of some drivers because the machine offers you the ability to boot from a USB device after switching on of the machine and see the Toshiba logo...
    You need only press F12 and select the option to boot from an external USB CD/DVD drive. That's all.

    It started when my laptop was having problems (Vista 64 bt).  It's less than a month and the motherboard consumed.  If we use our Gateway desktop model that has Windows XP.  I found my laptop and tried to connect it to the radio.  Desktop just completely crashed.  He said there was a corrupt file and I should reinstall windows.  I'm disabed and I tried to read the instructions and use the F10 or F11 key but I couldn't do anything.  I entered the manual to find these virgins back up discs.  I bought a Dell, one month before and all disks are there... we had nothing to do.  I hate to admit that we did not open the manual.  I read that you can get the readers or the manufacturer's cd.  What is the best way.  I will have surgery soon and I can not contact with people because of my immune system for months.  I have a 14 year old who lives on the computer and take care of his Webkinz.  I have to fix this!   Thank you
