Re: Equium P300-P6T - double boot, need to reinstall but can't access the recovery

Hello

Have a friend s EQUIUM P300-P6T wishing me fix but recovery issues.

It currently has windows 7 installed on separate partitions WXP can choose which operating system to start when loading. The factory for the laptop is Vista but it has replaced the one with 7.
However, some of the Vista Boot files are damaged and cannot be mounted by Windows Recovery then resembles a new Vista installation is necessary.

This should not seem like a problem but:

(a) I tried holding 0 down as I turn to access the recovery partition (which still exists I see it within the management of the computer if I load xp) but it doesn't do anything, so I can't recover from the recovery partition.
(b) I tried to reinstall Vista on this partition by using a disk of vista OEM however, when it happens at the stage of "complete installation" the progress bar stays in the same place forever about 3/4 of the way through as if it crashed.
(c) I managed to get an installation of windows 7 on it, but when I charged it, it does not recognize the keyboard or a touchpad (even if not a problem with the drivers for each), and yet the cursor can be moved with a USB mouse is connected. In addition, the boot partition has now given a choice of "xp", vista, the older installations of windows

I now put the computer to the original state, it was at the moment. However, the road I want to go down is to use the recovery partition to restore the factory settings on this particular partition and Vista.

Does anyone have ideas how I can do this, or what is my best solution? As I said, now pressed 0 while starting has no effect yet the recovery partition is still existing on the hard drive.
Unfortunately there is no recovery media that I have access to.

Thank you

Hello

The whole story is very interesting and I wish I could help somehow. Your ad is quite long with very useful information, but, if I understand you correctly, you want to just install Vista original recovery image. Can you confirm this?
If you have any other questions please ask one by one, and then we can answer one by one.

Anyway, if your answer is YES here is my explanation:
Saved on the HARD drive recovery image can be used with the factory only settings. With other words: when the original recovery image is installed, you will have full access to this recovery image. In the case where some other OS is installed (Win7 or WXP) this original condition will be overwritten and you will lose this recovery option (HARD drive recovery facility). Only way it have factory settings again is to use the recovery DVD disc. If your friend didn't create this disc (without taking into account the recommendation of Toshiba s) that you have big problem now.

Please tell us once more what are your options now. What do you do now?

    Used to be when you bought the new computer you got the CD.  And as boring he could reload the entire computer from 95 upwards, at least you can operate. Then when I bought this XP rights came with it, sticker on the back, but no CD for safety.  They said that I have needed them since I guarantee.  Well, I can extend is no longer my warranty and you know, the thing crashes constantly and virus checks, checks disc and so on can not find anything wrong.  With most of the software if you lose all your CD, you can get new ones just treatment and the cost of shipping. I can get them with my codes? Or you buy a whole new copy and start from scratch?

    Legally a system integrator must provide you with a way to reclaim factory. This can be with a physical CD (real operating system), a recovery disc (image of the installation of the factory), or install an image on the hard drive from the factory.

    Refer to the documentation for the computer or the mftr computer Web site. to know how to factory restore. If you bought this computer from a local Builder, call them to find out how to restore factory. If we let you no way, I am sure that they will provide you with an installation disk or the recovery disk because they will be in non-compliance with the terms of Microsoft.

    It will never be updated for InDesign CS6. This has been discussed to death. Adobe updated the CS6 applications that she could update. Illustrator and Photoshop come to mind, so your conspiracy theory is incorrect.

    InDesign should be re-written from scratch due to the difference in the way it was designed.

    To activate the software to upgrade Adobe CS5.5 that you don't need to install the Adobe CS4 on your computer, you just need the serila for Adobe CS4 & Adobe CS5.5 number.

    Once you launch CS5.5 it will ask two serial numbers required for the software, just read the options carefully on the launch of Adobe screen.

    Hello

    > So I couldn't use one of me then Matt windows installation disk? I have my own key for it
    As you said Garrett t can use the wrench on the underside of the laptop with a normal installation of Windows that you can buy anywhere.
    This key is a key OEM and that means that it belongs to the version preinstalled Windows.

    Normally if you buy a copy of Windows you will also receive a key for this.

    So either you buy a version of Windows or you order a disk recovery Toshiba directly, but before that, you you must contact your bank on the credit card.

    Good bye

  • Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?

    Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.

    F8 does not work.
    F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.

    Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.

    However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.

    To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
    Local disc (c :))
    Data (d :)) 42 GB free of 54.5 GB
    WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)
    Boot (x :)) 29.0 MB of free space of 31.5 MB (which is used by the repair disk)

    So the C: drive is listed, but without ability.

    * CHKDSK *.
    CHKDSK c: /r and press return

    «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
    Unable to determine the status and version of the volume. CHKDSK is abandoned.
    Cannot transfer messages saved in the journal of the events with the 50 State.

    * Run TESTDISK *.

    Analysis:
    Size of the partition start end in sectors
    1 P Windows RE (store) 0 32 33 191 89 26 3072000
    2 * HPFS - NTFS 191 89 27 7477 118 1 117051392
    3 P HPFS - NTFS 7477 118 2 14592 190 62 114307072 (data)

    * = Primary bootable
    When you perform a quick search, then P - list of files, the second partition it reports:
    "Cannot open the file system. Filesystem seems damaged. »

    So what I want to do is boot to Windows restore to drive E.

    My question is for Toshiba experts: If F8 does not work how to use the recovery partition?

    Laptop is:
    Part number: PSAF5E-002005KS
    Main features
    -Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2310
    -Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
    -Drive DVD Super Multi (Double Layer)
    -2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB of RAM (667 MHz)
    -15.4 "WXGA TFT display 1 280 x 800

    > THIS ISN'T MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, AND GOOD PRODUCT DESIGN.
    I really put t know that should do better than to place the Microsoft sticker at the bottom.
    This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.

    In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.
    > So my question still remains: can I recover my Toshiba laptop using this restore partition?
    If you want to recover using the Toshiba recovery image response is not. Cannot start HARD drive recovery facility.
    > Even with a dvd of Windows Vista is genuine, I can't reload the OS
    In my opinion you need make the clean OS installation using the clean installation or order original Toshiba Recovery disk on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install original (already active) recovery image.
