• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  Oxford

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.

• Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in an endless loop

  It's a so detailed bug report please bear with me.
  If you can help, or can confirm that you have had the same thing happen to you, I will be grateful.

  I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I've even worked for Toshiba so worry, I like the machine. But I have a problem with his recovery software. I just bought a laptop Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I have to sometimes panic calls from field in the sense of "it became too slow", "How do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe he had a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was ASR, which is how to bring the HD to "like new" condition.

  So I started out in the machine, replied to the questions until I got in the appropriate operating system, then led the program "make a recovery DVD. Double layer DVD checked ok. With the freshly made DVDs, I swapped the HD for a spare part, I had (much less: only 40 GB instead of 320) and started the rescue DVD hoping it would fix my own system to the blank disc.

  He did repartition the drive according to its schema, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for the data, including the recovery files. He did install the system in the Windows partition. It was then restarted in Windows 7 installed in order to complete the installation. There, the trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until what I stopped it.

  Loop:
  * reset
  * black screen with bright logo 4 color windows «windows startup»
  * black screen with slight blade and "Setup prepares your computer for first use.
  * blue white screen "Welcome" with "please wait" and the crossbar with green blob, saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer! »
  * blue screen saying it stops

  Repeat the above forever.

  I saw him restart way more than 10 times over several hours. And whenever he's faking, that this is the first time she did it. Of course, this is not normal!

  I tried to stop with ctrl-alt-del and the Task Manager, but the white screen would go even the Task Manager, making it difficult to kill any process or even inspect what they were on top. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it shuts. Then when it restarts it said that if I wanted safe mode. I tried. He went into the routine above and at one point he says that he could not proceed with the installation, if it was in safe mode. So he restarted in normal mode and then...! It is finally out of the endless loop!

  Then he asked me all the usual language, record etc., questions as he did the first time I had turned on him. This seemed good. Finally, I walked into a newly installed operating system and everything seemed fine, except that I found out later that some programs that were there before were not installed.
  With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even Redid the procedure hard disk provided instead of my rescue: first I have nuked the windows partition, then I save the HD (with F8), not with the DVD that I had done. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboot.

  After that I stopped it, it kind-of-worked, as above, but now some programs were lacking, such as the Toshiba DVD drive.

  (*) motivated by: better try now with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, that when the computer died at home of its owner, and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a line call. Been there before.

  Now, that specific (DVD player), that I could download it from the support page and it installed fine. But what else might be missing or not working not that I have not noticed? The restore process is clearly not working as it should.

  I'm the first or only to whom it happens? I'm doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should try?

  I need to make sure that the restore procedure works perfectly while I still have the computer in my hands. If not, there is no chance that I'll be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie, once I asks me to clean the laptop by phone a few months from now.

  Thanks in advance

  [Update: just looking for the right place where I could post what I found that other people report the same problem.] This is definitely a bug in the software distributed for W7 - 64 overlay, not a problem isolated to my machine. See for example
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&TSTART=0 where the user kwarc described the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I could recover my trouble free unit.
  The installation of Win 7 went well and everything has been installed correctly.

  Back to you:
  To me it looks like something wrong with installation maybe some HARD drive partitions were confues perhaps, HARD drive should again formatted, and then run the recovery procedure.
  You should test

  Regarding the DVD player:
  As much as I know there is no DVD player for Win 7 64 bit. There are only available for Win 64 bit updated. If you need to install the DVD player for Win 7 32 bit version and then update using the patch released for Win7 64 bit.

• Satellite L500-1XC HDD Recovery help

  Hi I have a Satellite L500-1XC of second hand, the former owner has installed Ubuntu (which I can't access because of password) as well as windows 7 and I try restore laptop to factory settings, but I just don't know how.

  I tried to turn it off and holding, then 0 and pressing the Start button. On the bottom of the home screen says HDD Recovery at the bottom left of the screen, but after that, he just the part of the selection for me to choose Ubuntu or Windows 7 and then just charge the laptop as usual.

  I tried to get the Recovery Media Creator, but I'm not. It seems that a lot of original Toshiba Utilities and supports have been removed.

  If anyone can help me fix this laptop, I'd be so grateful that I can not really afford to buy a Toshiba Recovery disk.

  Thank you

  > I'm trying to restore the laptop to factory settings, but I just don't know how
  I put t I think that HARD drive recovery would work because Linux has been installed on the HARD drive and I think that the partition table has been changed.
  This might be the reason why the HDD recovery isn't working.

  You can always see this Toshiba document that describes the whole HARD drive recovery procedure:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  So now, drive HARD recovery does not work in this case, you can only use the installation disc.
  You can try to install Windows 7 using the Microsoft disk (Toshiba drivers are downloadable) or you order the disc of Arvato:

• Satellite L500-13W - creation of possible recovery on another OS disc?

  I got a Satellite L500-13w and it came pre-installed with Windows Vista and the recovery of files, but I formatted the PC and installed Windows 7 and then installed XP.

  Now I want to use the system recovery to return to Vista, but I didn t create a Vista recovery CD using the files that came on the separate partition. If I had again the file instead, they came.
  So my question is, under Windows XP, is it possible to use these files to create the CD or the recovery file?

  Please answer

  Hi Nagravison-PT,

  Unfortunately, this is not possible. The Toshiba Recovery disk can be created on a preinstalled OS, because only there, the recovery disk creator is installed.

  On the second partition recovery files are now unnecessary, because you can use HARD drive recovery option more and creator of recovery disc is removed.

  What to do now?
  You use a Microsoft disc or you order a Toshiba Recovery disk:

• Satellite L500-20 X - no recovery disk

  Hi all

  Since yesterday my Satellite L500-20 x have only called Bluescreens 'Driver not less than or equal'--> Restart! It starts with win7 until the opening of the session, after that reboot every time. I try a lot of things to fix:
  Systemrepair (3Times) and no change
  Recovery of SystemRecovery (per disk HARD no CD) work but always bluescreens and no change to solve the problem.
  Memory check (from Win7) checked 3 times 100% ok.
  Toshiba HDD Recovery (I try several times but it turned off each time by bluescreen process... so I can't do that - unpossible complete recovery!)

  This is the first laptop I have buyed all and I've never heard of a recovery disk - so I don't create one! Now, I can't get in win7 - so I can't create it now. Anyone have any ideas? I want new windows to install... but I do not have the same Win Disk. Win = Win7 64 bit laptop all I have is WIn7 32 Bit for my HomePC.

  I need help!

  Salvation of the beam,

  If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can order one at Toshiba directly:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  It's worth a try if HDD recovery option doesn't work properly.

  If you order such a disc and install the original on the HARD drive settings will be restored. A clean install factory with all the drivers and tools (on the settings in the box) will be restored, and if that doesn t work, this seems to be a hardware malfunction

• Satellite L500-19Z - recovery process is not complete properly?

  Trying to reinstall my system Windows 7 on a satellite L500-19Z. When I insert the recovery disk it ends and then restarts.

  When reboot it goes through the "system registry' and 'system settings' and then restarts. He said Athens 'set up for first use.
  Then it comes up with a white screen and the box saying "the finalization of installation - will take a few minutes" etc.

  However, after a while it just restarts and goes through the same sequence again - and again - and again etc.

  I can reboot into safe mode, but it will not make a system restore point.
  When I try to reboot normally it just goes back into the routine above.

  I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.

  > I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.
  This means that you have more for this model of laptop recovery disk?
  Did you use the right method?

  I'm not very well why the recovery procedure ends correctly, but it might be possible that your laptop s equipment is affected m.
  What was the purpose of a recovery? Something was wrong with the laptop?

• Satellite L500-12 q Recovery Disc Creator Error

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite L500-12 q. I used the Recovery Disc Creator to make recovery disks. It needs 4 discs. The 1st was writtenk ok, but on the second, towards the end of the current status, it stopped advancing. It's almost an hour, and it is still not finished. I'm on the second try. The disc is spinning and the drive makes noise as if it was written, but it does not advance at all.

  Please, could you help me?

  Thank you
  Claudiu

  Claudiu Hey,.

  What kind of DVD that you use to create the Toshiba recovery disks? I got also some problems to create a recovery disc but I changed DVD + R, DVD-r media and everything was ok! I used Verbatim discs to create because I have really good experience with this kind of discs. In addition, it seems that TDK discs also work quite well. Check this box!

  If it doesn't work check the Toshiba page for an update of the firmware of your WEIRD!

• Satellite L500-1XD constantly restarts & display recovery blue screen

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500-1XD from an Argos store in August. Shortly after that I got it occasionally rebooted itself and displays blue screen of recovery saying that the laptop has recovered from a hardware failure. It has become more common recently and he often stops, displays the blue screen, reboots and done over and over again.

  I do not have many new programs on the laptop and that you have installed all updates. I deleted programs I have installed with the exception of Microsoft Office.

  Another thing that could be linked so that when the laptop starts, he says the Toshiba Service Station has stopped working and trying to find a solution to the problem.

  I'd appreciate any advice on how I might remedy this

  Thank you in anticipation

  Hi katrina_1,

  This means that the pre-installed Windows version is still installed, right?

  Well, I think that it of difficult to say why it happens it could be a hardware or software malfunction. The two may be possible.
  The reasons of the majority of blue screens are drivers or hardware itself are all properly installed devices in Device Manager or do you see yellow exclamation points?

  In your case, I'll try to reinstall Windows. Maybe it s only a software problem or driver
  Also if you have installed both modules of memory long live, test it with a module only. You can also use Memtest86 or another tool of diagnosis of RAM to test the memory modules RAM for failures.

• Satellite L500-F19 is started due to failed HARD drive recovery process

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-F19 and recently started having a bad performance in the GUI, and also began to close on its own.

  To try to solve the problem, I used the sistem of HARD drive recovery by pressing F8 in the boothing process.
  What is happening is that this process is not and and now my laptop does not even start!
  What can I do?

  I have a windows repair disc, but it was made only a few days ago and this pc is in my possetion for 3 years now.
  Is there a way I can recover my sistem in the original?

  Thank you
  João

  Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

  Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

  In both cases, the restore process seems to work fine but the phase of finishng never ends... Start, restart, rereboot... and so on.

  Resettlement using a 'standard' Windows 7 32 bit seems to work... but... I'm afraid that I might have lost something.

  How to get the DVD of "correct"?
  Thanks for help

  Hello

  Please check if you can create the recovery discs using another DVD from different manufacturers.
  I had the same problem in the past. I've tested some Verbatim DVD R TDK and could create the recovery DVDs.
