• 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

  Good bye

• Question on recovery disc HARD on NB200 - 10 p

  Hey guys, I need your help.

  I installed Windows 7 on my NB200 - 10 p, but it has messed up the recovery. After having tried like 100 times to run the recovery and return to XP, nothing worked and I wiped the partition tables of HARD drive with the idea of installing XP Professional which I own, but loading the installation program displays only the USB and it does not recognize the HARD drive. I had done a backup to a folder named a? Hddrecoverya? that contains the wim for default windows files (checked with 7-ZIP and they contain all the default drive C :).) I copied on a USB key and he ran, but the recovery is stuck on "waiting for odd vacancies...." ».

  So my question is how to make a USB bootable from the files I have on my HARD drive and run the recovery? Can someone also make a screenshot of the default C:, D: partition table and the recovery partition so I can recreate it?

  http://WinToFlash.com/

  This utility will make a bootable USB key and install a copy of XP on the thumb drive. Let us know if it worked.

  As an alternative, you can download a Microsoft utility that will do the samething for Windows 7 (but not XP). I had more success to get Windows 7 to install from a USB I have with trying to get XP to install from a USB key. Although Windows 7 is not quite able to do all the things that XP can do, it's the wave of the future. XP won't ultimately be supported by Microsoft, and so we can get with the program and start using Windows 7.

  Moreover, Toshiba has released a utility that works something like the fact of Microsoft Update, but the Toshiba updates for netbooks using Widnows 7 (again not for XP, Windows 7 only). It will you check netbook, and then download and install all the updates it has for your particular netbook.

  Let us know what you did and how it worked.

• Questions about the discs of recovery and partitioning Satellite A200-QH0

  I bought a model of Satellite A200-QH0 in Australia and due to the lack of forums in our country, I would like to ask a few questions here if that's ok.

  The book contains 3 partitions - partition "EISA Configuration" of 1.6 GB, the great partition of the BONE and the recovery partition. So I did the recovery DVD? s using the Recovery Disc Creator tool, as we are not provided with a real disk. But I would like to know what will make these records? My questions:

  1. they really will return that disc hard back to the _exactly_ how he was including the partition layout and software pre-installed?
  2 will be the recovery DVD works even if the disk has been repartioned? I would like to divide the system partition to give space for the files of data etc. But this extra partition will stop the recovery procedure works correctly?

  Please understand that I'm not interested in reformatting the entire disk. I want to just split the partition from the OS. But in case I need to replace the disk in the future or something, I would like to know how to close to 'original', these disks will make me, no matter what I do on the disc?

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure how recovery works on the Australian laptops computers Toshiba, but I presume that the restore CD contains the image of Toshiba with the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and utilities.
  I think that if you want to use the recovery CD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and all partitions will be erased.

  I think that the recovery partition is not created using the recovery CD because the CD of restoration has already been created for the recovery partition is no longer necessary

• Question about the creation of the recovery disc

  Hello
  I bought the new laptop Lenovo G500S (model 20245).
  My licensed Version of Windows is Windows 8 Version 6.2 Build 9200.
  Here are my questions:
  1. when I started to create the recovery disk, mentioned initial information display the image size estimated at 27.6 GB.
  However, the size of recovery disk that was created in my external HARD drive is 16GB only.
  Please let me know what is the size of the expected recovery.
  2. How will I know if I have a recovery partition on my system. The D partition size is 22.4 GB. The contents are Application and drivers.
  Thank you
  Naren

  Hi Naren,

  To create a disc of recovery of the minimum disk space required is 16 GB. Recovery media is a general term for media containing a backup of the original factory condition or a favorable condition for a computer configured by an equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an end user. OEM media allows you to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system and preloaded software, that it was when it was shipped. Typically, if you create a recovery disc, it will have drivers and other applications.

• 2 years by Satellite L300 has started playing up - recovery disc question

  Hello world

  I ve created the Toshiba Recovery Disc (s) and think I need to use it now. My Satellite L300-1AQtaking AGES to load when I turn on, it sometimes crashes for no apparent reason (it tells me memory is OK, so not a problem of RAM) and because of the other weird inconveniences.

  Should I use the recovery disks do, you think? Is it simple? It does not give to-step instructions please? Operating system is Vista.

  Thank you very much

  Yes, you must use recovery discs and make clean OS install. After 2 years of use, I think that the operating system needs to be updated.

  After the own OS, you will see that laptop will work a lot better than before.
  Please also optimize OS: remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system and configure the Windows startup. This will make the start much more quickly.

• Question of TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator - Windows cannot find ToRDC.exe

  TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator went a little wacky.

  When I select TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator in menu start all the getting is

  "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator\ ToRDC.exe', make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

  He could be overzealous to me right click or delete. I don't right click Delete the windows folder more (he he he) honest joke.

  Anyway, any help really appreciated.
  Thanks in advance

  PS: I forgot to add that I do not have the recovery disk, should have as I bought the new laptop from argos...

  Hello

  It seems that the exe file cannot be run.
  If it of not available, then you cannot start this application.

  Unfortunately, it of not possible to download Toshiba recovery disc creator.

• Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

  I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

  So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

  Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

  Hi Snen,

  It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!

• Simple recovery disc question

  When is it best to make the recovery discs before or after I recorded my laptop and why?

  It is not important to you to do the recovery before or after regstering your laptop.  What is important is to save your laptop computer to activate the warranty.

  I highly recommend that you create a USB key recovery instead of a set of recovery disks. All it takes is a simple scratch to make the drive to retrieve the useless value. A Flash Media Player in recovery, on the other hand, is durable and runs a lot faster that the recovery DVDs are capable of making Collections.  Be sure that you choose a flash drive that is not labeled certified for Windows 8 (or 8.1). Flashdrives of SanDisk are generally known to be incompatible with the HP recovery media creator. None of the HP Experts have had success with them, including me.

• best2serve pile of crap recovery disc

  Hello

  Two weeks ago, I ordered a set of recovery disc for an HP Pavilion ms215uk all in a desktop pc.

  I paid £31.06 for drives that turn up. (7 days from order to receipt) - fair enough.

  However - they did not work. Disc 1 is OK, but on the insertion of disk 2, I got an error in Dutch (not English) that the system recovery discs would not work on this system.

  Great Stuff - Hp cannot even provide the correct disks.

  Good so I then sent their emails of support of shit and got a response indicating that they would send others.

  7 days later the disks turned up and guess what?

  Yes - they do not have work - same message - Dutch once again - and after inserting the disc 2 disc 5.

  It's 2 weeks - no recovery drive of work for my system - and 10 coasters.

  What the hell is happening with this crap company. No phone support (now I know why) and only contact by email - which they have not responded to and its now more than 24 hours.

  All brands on the site - even HP Hp can't help saying that I need to contact best2serve.

  Well I can't contact them because there is no way to contact them outside of the email.

  As far as I am concerned the disks are under warranty and that I should beable to call and ask why they do not work or have at least my money I can buy a copy of windows 7 and do a reinstall completely Virgin.

  2 weeks is not good enough - I'm just glad that the discs are not intended for a customers machine. Best2serve are crap - useless - and not very reliable from what I've read on this forum and the net in general.

  Oh - and discs are not manufactured or factory - basically, they are 1 x cd blank with green dye and 4 x dvd with purple dye. In other words discs burned and unprepared discs.

  And they are not scratched btw.

  So my question is what you do about best2serve or Hp?

  I have to go to the negotiation of standards?

  Or

  I have to create a website denouncing the best2web service and support - I could do a good job of it too.

  Your call.

  peedoffbigtime

  Hi Paul,.

  As promised I have news on the situation.

  And here are my results.

  After many phone calls and e-mails to Hp and best2serve, I figured out that the Pc should be sent repair.

  That's why the recovery disks wouldn't work - pc necessary fixation. EVIL.

  The recovery discs would not work because I had installed a new hardrive.

  The recovery discs check the dmi information in bios or dmi on the "original hard drive" string that is automatically written in sector 8 hard drive at the factory.

  Replace the hard drive or the motherboard and your recovery disks do not work.

  BIOS updates can mess up too, the dmi information which was not the case with this pc.

  It's the original Bios HP 2009 - there isn't another available on Hp website.

  However for some reason any (nothing that I did at all)-

  Model number: MS215UK

  Serial number: 123456789

  Version identifier: 94WEv6PrA2

  The string Featurebyte: 333rd 2S2V and so on

  Part number: VG256AA

  The country Code: #ABU

  has all the missing since the information screen of the bios by pressing F10 to access the bios.

  It was like that for / to the plant.

  To solve this problem, I used an Hp dmi tool that is not accessible to the public, but a google search for cpc_dmi hp tool should get what you need. He made me.

  The 2010 version is the one you need.

  So, I used the Hp Dmi's tool and the cpc_dmi.exe of a bootbale disk file and published this information.

  Once I had done that and saved the settings of the chip rom all the correct information was shown on the system bios screen.

  Now armed, knowing this info has been tattooed in the rom chip system I proceeded with the recovery disk install again.

  I used the cd 'First use this disc' and then started the drive 1 0f 4

  This now gave me a good screen of Hp recovery option rather than the screen in Dutch say the recovery discs would not work on this system message.

  Disc 1 0f 4 installed perfectly and so the other 3.

  My system is now recovered and working as it did in 2009 when purchased new.

  Then

  I corrected the error of recovery disks don't work do not.

  I stuck two fingers up to the Hp support.

  I saved myself over £100 + by sending only not in Hp update bios dmi information. (FIX my donkey)

  That said it took me two days to get this working correctly through complete trial and error, but I'm a happy guy now.

  Oh - and don't will never buy Hp again. They suck.

  Thanks for the help

• HP PAVILION ELITE E9280T D: CTO need new recovery disc

  I have a pair of old HP Pavillion E9280T desktop systems. I have recently installed a new hard disks on the two (both are identical machines, ordered that a pair of HP).  I also have a two sets of recovery disks that I made when the systems are new, saved on DVD.

  On a single system, I was able to successfully perform a full restore (return to factory settings).  On the other system, recovery stops on the 3rd disc in 68% and gives me the following error message: "Recovery Manager is unable to restore your computer by using the original image. Please contact HP support. 0xe0ef000e error code.

  I've searched the forums and found that many others have experienced this same problem.  I tried some of the proposed fixes, such as clean rags and Re-partitioning the hard drive.  None of them worked.
  
  For fun, I also tried to recover the system using the recovery of the other machine disks.  I discovered that I was able to do a full system recovery using these disks.  It tells me that I have probably a corrupt set of recovery disks and not a hardware problem.

  Unfortately, while it was fun to find out where the source of the problem, I can of course use the same set of recovery disc for both machines (I'm sure that Windows will blow up as soon as I connect to the internet and connect to MS servers).
  
  So my question is... what should I do?  I don't think that HP sells the recovery discs any longer.  But I have a copy of Win7 Pro that I paid for, trapped on the recovery discs that don't work.
  
  In advance, thank you for any suggestions or advice.

  OK... im going to answer my own question... I should have realized this earlier, before posting my initial question.

  I had a set of recovery disc for an HP same machine... at the beginning I don't think that I could use them... I did not know that the unique product key MS is not copied or assigned to the recovery discs... and since both systems where the same in all respects... it worked!

• Recovery Disc Creator Error - Satellite A300-1GN

  First of all, sorry for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. On my problrm, short and simple technique:
  I use Toshiba Satellite A300-1GN with Vista 32 bit. I tried to create a recovery using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator disc.

  I inserted a new DVD disc in the DVD burner and program was working fine but suddenly that he will miss just give an error with something like that 'there was an error in the calibration of reinforcement sector. "Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304"

  What's wrong?

  What should I do to create the disc of tha? I can only add, that I turned my system of any virus just as it was said in manual Toshiba, but it did not help.

  Pleas, help.

  Hello

  I agree with the codes for the TDKs are not bad and I had a very good experience with these media.
  I tried to burn the recovery disk using another brand and I've damaged 3 DVD + R discs
  Then I went to the TDK DVD - R and it is ok

  I think that questions is related to the question of the compatibility between the discs and the STRANGE...
  So it of really worth to test different media!

  Good luck

• Drive hard failure - where to find recovery discs

  I have a HP G60 - 235WM system that comes with having a hard drive failure.

  Before the breakup, I tried to create a defined recovery disk but the process

  cancelled itself in the middle of the creation of the file. Since then, I've run a system recovery that seemed to work until the second day when on startup, I got the drive imminent failure Prompt and selecting Blons is no not a thing... I bought a new drive, but need to access a set of recovery discs...

  Then I bought another laptop with WIN 8.1 - questions

  Can I create a set with the 8.1 recovery disk WIN that will allow me to recover the original software Vista system?

  or where can I get a Vista system recovery disk?

  Note: the failed hard drive can be accessed via the USB port but does not start...

  Hello:

  You can call HP and see if they have a set of Vista recovery disks for your model.

  If this isn't the case, you can get them from this provider on the link below.

  You will not be able to use a set of recovery disks you create on a different model PC.

• HP recovery discs - Vista - can be installed on a smaller drive?

  HP M9340D Windows Vista bits.

  Original HD was 750G.  Can I use a low cost from 500G to reinstall using system restore disks?

  System Restore had no problem overwhelming on a WD 1 TB disk partitions (I don't know the resulting size because it wasn't intentional and I need the data recovery attempt - in another post).

  Hello:

  It's a good question, and without trying to see what's going on, I can't tell you for sure.

  The image was built for your PC, as it came from the factory.

  I highly doubt you had over 500 GB of data on the image, so, in theory, your recovery discs should work on a 500 GB HARD drive.

  I would speculate that if there is more data on the recovery disks than the hard disk size, they would not work.

  I read comments from people who have installed, say 64 GB SSD and tried to use their recovery disks and disk insufficient size HARD errors.

  You have to roll the dice on that one.
