• Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

  Hello.

  I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

  I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

  First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

  So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

  (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

  So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

  So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

  Please, please help me.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

  Here's my explanation of how it works:
  Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

  As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
  -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
  -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

  HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

  Your questions:
  > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
  If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
  > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
  If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
  > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
  I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
  > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
  If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

  > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
  I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
  > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
  Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

  Follow these steps:
  -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
  -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
  -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
  -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
  -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
  This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

  Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

• Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C660

  Hello
  I tried to restore a Satellite C660 factory settings because it be extremely slow to start.

  Using the original Toshiba recovery disks the process gets to half way through and then gives the following messages...

  Error restoring image
  The device is not ready

  ERROR: ImageX could not be Win7 V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg\15489XSP.swm Index 2 HARD C: drive!

  If someone can advise?
  Thank you

  Unfortunately there is no workaround to force the recovery image installation runs correctly.
  All you can do right now is to set the BIOS to default settings and use the drive recovery again.
  Make sure that the disc is clean.

  Do you use the recovery disc for the first time?

• Cannot install recovery image on my Equium after upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I just installed a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop Equium I contacted Toshiba who informed me that I could mount up to 1 TB, I opted for with a 500 GB at halfway.
  After installing the drive I inserted the disc of recovery after a while, it was loaded with the operation completed successfully message. Next message put in place windows could not configure windows to run on this computer hardware. Then windows could not complete the installation to install windows on installation, this restart of the computer...

  At the end of the restore process a message tells me to remove the recovery disc and output as soon as I get the laptop stops and doesn t re boot automatically. During the next restart windows message Vista starts for the first time then the cycle starts again. I tried to reload several times recovery according to the instructions, but not good.

  Any help much appreciated

  I put t know which model of laptop you have, but if the recovery image is Vista, it must be quite old model, maybe Equium A200.
  To be honest I didn't experiment with the upgrade of the HARD drive on older models, but I can imagine the image recovery are a problems with hard drives with huge capacities.

  Display please model name and which HDD you inside now.
  By the way: if possible, try to install Win7 using Microsoft installation disc. I m it will be safe works without any problem.

• Re: I lost recovery image for my Satellite L655-1HE

  Unfortunately when I tried to restore my laptop to factory setting, electricity went off well, I wasn't on battery. Then, I lost my recovery. My original windows 7 features are included with my laptop

  Is there any chance to get the original windows 7 & features of the plant back?

  Hello

  If you do not have recovery disk for recovery image installation there is no way to get the image of recovery again. All you can do now is drive recovery of the new order.
  You can do it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Cannot install recovery image on Satellite C650D

  Hello

  I have a C650D who fell just out of warranty and died on me. I did the recovery discs to purchase then thought that it would be a simple matter to use and I would be able to use the laptop again... seems I was mistaken :(

  I tried the F8 key at startup to option and all I get is the following message is displayed:
  No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

  I inserted the recovery disk and after an amount of noise from the hard drive and windows message takes over the files then I got a box asking me to choose the language I wanted, followed by an error message that there is something missing... I don't have the time to write down full seizure quit on me. After trying to load (incase there was something wrong with the first attempt) get the windows loading page then nothing...

  Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this please?

  Thanks in advance

  > No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.
  I fear this message has something to do with Mr. HARD disk HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?

  If so, the value please BIOS to the default settings and use recovery DVD again.

  By the way: you can see the language option, but you can not choose another language than the original language, you got with your laptop. In other words if you have BONES of the Spain, you can't choose another language. You have only BONE on the Spain.

• Cannot install windows XP on the Satellite Pro A200-1N2

  Jin

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1N2 PSAE3E and I don't want Vista on my laptop. I downgraded the bios to V5.30 but still cannot install windows xp and there is still no optin for SATA in the bios.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Did you install the SATA drivers first?
  You need this driver to recognize the HARD drive!

  You must download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager. You should find it on the page of the Toshiba driver or the Intel Web site.

  You must perform the installation of an external USB FDD drive using the F6 key during the installation of Win XP.

• Clean install of Windows 7 on Satellite L655

  I have a Satellite L655 and replace the HDD with a SSD (2 sheets) system (more small capacity, 1 partition). I also want to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  I'll be able to use the recovery disc for this? If so, will I have to reactivate? Thank you.

  > I'll be able to use the recovery disc for this? If so, will I have to reactivate? Thank you.

  What exactly do you want: clean windows installation or by using the disk Toshiba recover?

  I mean own installation only the Windows operating system using the Microsoft Win 7 disc.
  This installation requires a valid serial key.

  But using the Toshiba recovery disc requires no any key since the BONES of the window is already enabled on this drive.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

  It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

  FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
  I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
  I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
  I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
  I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
  I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
  I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

  If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

  In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

• Satellite A100: Cannot install recovery after having deleted the Ubuntu partition

  Hello friends,

  I have the Satellite A 100. I was using dual OS - windows vista home edition and Ubuntu. Now I wanted to remove Ubuntu and so I did the stupidest thing - directly delete the partition with Ubuntu which had the GRUB files. Then to the laptop computer restart of course the Grub bootloader wasn't there and if the computer is not started or load any OS. Then I thought that I will reinstall Vista with product recovery CD but the progress reached at 2% and then I keep getting error 1117 a failure to read. I tried so many times without success. I even tried to install XP, but it says Intel boot agent cannot make connection. And it also fails.

  Please help to reinstall Vista or XP. I'm really stuck and I learned a lesson not to tinker in mobile when it isn't those of Cup of tea!
  Any help is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you!

  > Now if I download EasyBCD how would I be able to run it or how should I use it?
  You will not be able to run EasyBCD because you are not able to boot Vista.
  EasyBCD can be installed only in Vista and will allow you to change the Vista Boot Manager.

  I think you need to format the entire disk HARD again should erase all partitions and must attempt to reinstall Vista.

  I recommend using a free tool called GParted LiveCD. Google for what it helps format the HARD drive!

• Satellite M70 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hello

  I had to remove the drive HARD Toshiba Satellite M70 for use on my Compaq laptop (Compaq HDD crashed). I had to install XP and other stuff after you have 2 left and used with a Compaq laptop with no problems. Now, I had a new HARD drive for compaq and fixed the Toshiba HDD back in.

  Using the recovery CD I wanted to restore the Toshiba to its original state.

  I have the recovery DVD-ROM product. F12 abd selection cd/dvd would not recovery.
  Error loading operating system is the message I get.

  I can even install with my other XP pro original cd.

  Once I put the HARD return drive to Compaq its job very well, I can even install XP.

  What is the cause. Is that it has nothing to do with the MBR?
  I am very familiar with computers so please give me a way out of this!

  Thank you all,.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  In my opinion, the case is clear. If you install the laptop with a normal installation of Microsoft disk and the HARD disk works fine in another computer it something wrong with the Toshiba Recovery disk, maybe it s scratched.

  What you can do is to install the laptop using the disc of Microsoft. Then download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

  Alternative order you a new drive for recovery of an authorized service provider.

  It of your choice what you do. ;)

• Cannot install Windows 2000 on my Satellite 1800-514

  I am trying to install windows on my Satellite 1800-514. but when Setup tries to copy files to the hard drive I have some errors on some files are not copied correctly (it says it can't find them, I checked well and they are on the cd).

  is not always, but often the same files. jump results in an unnecessary installation (cannot start). It is the first time ever I am trying to format and reinstall windows on this laptop. I tried gentoo (linux) for a few days and it seems to work very well (except it's me mistakes sometimes when starting from cd)

  so far I have tried:
  -Another cd (all seem to give me the same problem, they worked on all the others I've used them on front of the pc...)
  -windows XP pro cd, gave me an error of not being able to load a file (looks like the installation of 2000?)
  -have you memtest86 to check memory, he finds no errors, also I tried to install with just 1 of my 2-bands memory, that has not helped either. so I don't think that memory is the problem.
  -do you have a chkdsk /R from the recovery console to check the hard disk for errors, no have been found...

  I'm naïve, what to do/try then?

  Hello

  Reset you HARD drive after using the Linux operating system? If please do it properly and then try to install Windows using the recovery CD.

  If the error again please contact the Service partner. In my opinion there must be a missing file.

• Cannot install Recovery factory default on Satelite A500 system

  Hello

  I can't recovery my system to factory default.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-148. She did with Windows Vista and a few months after I had received an upgrade to Windows7, Toshiba.
  One of the first things I did was to create a DVD recorey, and I still have it.

  Now I want to reinstall the entire system with Windows7 so I think do a default system recovery in the factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery option. BUT I can't do that.

  Firstly I have red the instructions shipped with the laptop, and tried to follow the fashion.
  The instructions that I try to follow up was:
  -Reboot the laptop
  -press F8 during startup
  -Choose the entry "repair your computer".
  -Choose the layout of the keyboard
  -enter in my account to access
  The following options appear:
  -Startup Repair
  -System restore
  -Restore Windows complete PC
  -Windows Memory Diagnostic tool
  -Command prompt

  I expect the "Toshiba HDD Recovery" option, but this option is not shown.

  So, I ask for this help.
  I'm doing something wrong?

  Mind you, I already did (a software factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery recovery option default) in the past, most exactily before installing the upgrade to Windows7. But it was a long time ago and I'm not sure all the steps that I had done.

  Kind regards
  Ricardo

  > Now I want to reinstall the entire system with Windows7 so I think do a default system recovery in the factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery option. BUT I can't do that.
  After that update Win7, everything changes so if you have factory settings again use please created Vista recovery discs.
  > Notice, I already did (a software factory using the Toshiba HDD Recovery recovery option default) in the past, most exactily before installing the upgrade to Windows7.
  Fix. As long as you are using Vista, you will be able to use this option, but after upgrade is not.

  Reinstall Vista and later you can do what you want. Either use you Vista or Win7 to be upgraded again.
