Re: Satelite C850-B516: copy data drive HARD recovery after changing the partitions

• Any transfer on a drive hard new - what is the best way?

  Here's a question simple and straightforward, I hope. I currently have two internal hard drives:

  • C (IDE): OS (Win7), programs
  • F (about three times larger than C, faster, SATA): for most of the multimedia stuff

  (And some external and a dvd burner, which should not be relevant to this question.)

  I ordered a new hard drive, which will take over old job of the F drive. Once I have install and F empty on it, I want to move everything that is currently on C for which is now F and the new C drive I start and run Windows from. (C would also get a new drive letter and would only be used for backup purposes).

  I much prefer this without having to reinstall Windows and all my other programs, and without investing in expensive software of type Ghost I would probably use only once every two years or more. I also prefer not to have to partition F, although I'll do it if necessary.

  What is the best way to do it?

  Windows 7 image and move it to the new hard drive

  The only way to avoid reinstalling programs is in the image of the player. Connect the new drive as a slave (if IDE), then partition the new drive, so it has two partitions (or more if you want) - the last partition being slightly larger, then the amount of data on your current hard drive. Also, make sure that the partition you are moving that Windows 7 is greater, then the current partition is.

  Make now a picture of your current hard drive with either programs below and save it to the last partition on your new drive. If you have the recovery of 100MB partition do not forget to include that. Then restore the image of the partition that you want Windows 7 installed-you put in place the same as long as your current drive, and you may need to remove/change the partitions that you have done.

• HARD does not work after changing the disk partitions recovery media creator

  Hello world

  After installing windoows 8.1 April major upgrade (win 8.1 presents as OEM), and have shrunk C partition to create a data partition "D", "Troubleshooting" option under advanced start menu is no longer available.

  Toshiba Recovery Media Creator does not work, too (it can not find any hard disk recovery partion).
  I got in the OEM recovery partition.
  I am also able to create a recovery using the Windows tool unit.
  You have no idea about it?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Sorry to hear about all this. Unfortunately, you now have a big problem. I don't understand why you didn't create support of recovery before you started to change the factory settings, including to change the structure of the partitions of HARD drive.

  Mobile offered with factory settings a structure specific partitions and recovery recorded image is saved on the partition of drive specific and marked with invisible markers. These markers are visible for preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool and when you start the tool can find points of reference and has full access to specific files.

  Unfortunately, after changing the original scores structure Toshiba tool cannot find these markers more and is not able to copy files from recovery media recovery. What you need now is the original recovery disk. Using this disk, you can install original recovery image and after doing this, you will have new factory settings.

  I know it sounds stupid now but you must order the original recovery disk and it can be done on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Low beginning on Satellite M40-145 after changing the 160 GB HARD drive

  Hello

  I own a Satellite M40-145 since 2005. After more than two years without any problem, two weeks ago the 80 GB hard drive to the original address has been damaged. So I had to replace it with a new, 160 GB (this replacement was made in a store because it's out of warranty).

  I used successfully on the new HARD drive recovery CD to install Windows XP and all the drivers (just as when it was new).
  I used Partition Magic to create a partition of D for data. Also, I installed Office 2003, Norton 360 and connected to the Internet.
  It worked quickly with only small problems than perhaps with little patience I could fix: as this Bluetooth hardware is not detected and the wireless switch began with the lights off even being in the position we (it worked with new just switching out-lit again). But suddenly, after only one day of use, Windows starts became very slow. It takes about 4-5 minutes until it is possible to use the laptop.

  Now, I tried many possibilities to solve the problem, but always ending on the same problem: I used the recovery CD again and try to use the computer with or without updates (I thought that maybe the problem was due to a bad update), with and without Internet access, etc.
  I also tried in vain the program Microsoft Bootvis to try to speed up the startup, etc.

  I even created an image with Acronis to only with XP and Office running fast, so that I could install it again and try new things.
  I also tried to clean the registry with various programs like CCleaner, TuneUp 2008
  Also the defrag JKDefrag and PageDefrag. But always returning to the same problem after a few days of good conduct.

  I don't know what else I could do. I wonder if maybe the new HD is damaged (although I test and no error or no damage was detected) or if the update BIOS might resolve this problem (I'm not and that's a big risk).

  Please, could someone help me?
  Thank you very much for your attention.
  Pablo

  In my view, that there is nothing wrong with the software or all drivers on you laptop.
  I think the key is the enormous size of the HARD drive.

  The difference between 80 and 160 GB is huge.

  To my knowledge, the BIOS supports a limit on the size of HARD drive and I really wonder why the 160 GB HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.

  However, I think you should test a 100 GB, 120 GB HDD if the same question perhaps if poster using a HDD a size smaller.

  Best regards

• drive hard accendentily wiped with the restoration of the system, trying to recover the backup. How can I do this?

  HP Pavilion Slimline s3320f desktop PC

  Windows Vista

  My brother tried to get my hard drive to a new computer and accedentally erased the hard drive.  the computer has been saved before this wipe.  I was wondering how to restore or to access saved information. There are about 9 GB of backup files.

  The hard drive has been reinstalled in the original computer and everything works fine.  I just get this info.  Please help if possible.

  The recovery partition is not a backup of your data. The sole purpose of this small partition must perform a full restore from the hard drive to the first day, as if you just bought the computer.

• Not authentic Windows after changing the hard drive

  Hi, I got a genuine version of windows 7 on my PC, but the hard drive was too small. I bought a new hard drive and copied the entire former disk including the operating system on it and only use the new disk. I have now a message saying that my copy of windows is not genuine and I need to buy a new copy. Is it possible to validate my copy without having to buy windows again? I bought the PC with windows pre-installed, this isn't a product key. If I reinstall my old drive do I find the key there and type it on the new drive? is this so where is it located? My operating system is Windows 7 Professional.

  Thank you

  Barry.

• drive hard failure after 2 years of use, is this normal for a 1.6-inch toshiba 80 GB drive

  is the lifetime of a drive hard toshiba mini car shorts... and how to get data back now that the player is without a normal connection only a flat cable...

  In fact, that would be my next suggestion. If you're technical enough, you can use a Linux, or in your case, USB key bootable CD. I have had several instances where do this on a disk failed HARD still allows me to remove some data. Not everything, but it's worth a shot-to-shot, sure! And even if it doesn't work, you still have the USB key to use.

• Satellite Pro L500-1W4 - cannot install Win 7 Pro after changing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I need assistance with Windows.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro with Windows 7 preinstalled pro and the recovery DVD to downgrade to Windows XP Pro.
  I had to change the hard drive, so I try to reinstall Windows 7 from the recovery CD, but it does not work. He said that it is not possible to install this on this machine.

  So I tried with Windows XP CD recovery and no problem
  I'd rather have windows Windows 7 but I do not know how to retrieve
  Last information, the Windows XP CD recovery came with the laptop that Windows 7 was made by the store who sold me the computer.

  Thank you for your help
  Julie

  As far as I know there is not a kind of limitation and if there is no problem with the original recovery for Win7 disc, you should be able to install it on any HARD disk that you use with your machine.
  I upgraded HDD to the SSD on my installation of picture machine and the restore worked without any problems.

  To be honest, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but the Win7 installation disc is somehow suspect for me. I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly, but somehow, I feel you didn t get original drive Win7. Best evidence is the Windows XP Home edition recovery disk. The prinziple with Win7 is the same and it should works.

  When you use this disk you should have the menu as shown on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  This document explains how this works with the original installation disc of recovery.

• Drive HARD recovery failed

  Hi all

  I just tried to do a factory reset on my satellite netbook (which I've done a few times before), but it failed. I got as far as the system wipe, but got an error saying that there is no current backup.

  To restart, I am unable to access the utility and get an error saying no BONES found.

  I have another version of windows knock around, so used quepour starts the machine. I can see the partition containing the files of recovery is still present and the files are still there. Anyone got any ideas how I can use it to restore my computer?

  I have all other backups and I don't want to order recovery disks (my machine has not in any case of a hard drive).

  Any thoughts or ideas would be apprecited.

  Thank you!

  Problem, is that there are not any special trick or workaround to force the installation of HARD drive recovery. Maybe it sounds stupid now, but either it works or not. Of course, there is a reason why it does not work. I don't know what have you done with your machine so can just speculate what may be the reason.

  Like many other people you've made big mistake: you didn't create recovery (DVD or USB) media. The user s manuals document, clearly describes how it can be done and why. These created recovery media can be used if there is problem with the installation of recovery of HARD drive or what HARD drive fails and must be replaced by a new one.

  Sorry, but I don't see a good option for you now.
  By the way: why you won't restore disk original order?

• C55 - A satellite - keep Windows after changing the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I want to buy Toshiba Satellite C55 - A, which is pre-installed Windows 8.1 and the recovery on the HARD drive Partition.
  I also want to buy 256 GB SSD and put it in Toshiba (and use the external as hard drive from Toshiba HARD drive).

  Can I install Windows 8.1 that I bought (preinstalled) on the SSD?
  If so, how?

  Of course, you can swap the HARD drive with an SSD.
  The key is the recovery media (USB key or drive).
  You must create a recovery disk to replace the HARD drive.

  Laptop Toshiba computers are preinstalled with software called Toshiba Recovery Media creator.
  This allows you to create a recovery media that you can use to reinstall the system on the new SSD installed!

• Satellite A660 - 11 M - drive HARD recovery is not possible

  Hello.

  I bought the satellite A660 - 11 M two months ago. A week before, he started to cause a problem that when turned on, boot HARD drive is not possible in the first place and boot priority option page is shown. Only after that I have reset a start command, it started.

  To resolve this issue for good, I decided to format the HARD drive using the HDD recovery procedure. Unfortunately, I had to cancel this procedure after 2 minutes, and the start-up is not possible at all since then. He continues to display the message "Boot failure" etc. and staging to the BIOS screen. So, I can not access the recovery procedure even if I keep the F8 key. I am afraid that a recovery on the HARD drive partition can have been damaged due to the forced cancellation.

  I have not created a DVD of my own laptop recovery, and the only option seems to buy one from Toshiba (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx). Before you order a recovery disc, I would ask if my problem can be solved using the disc. Anyone who has experience with the recovery disc could advise me? Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP? Thank you for reading.

  Hello

  > Another question is to know if a standard warranty let me send to Toshiba ASP?
  Warranty only covers hardware issues.

  Question you seems to be related to a software problem.
  Therefore, I doubt that installation of the OS would be covered by the warranty.
  You should order the recovery disk and must attempt to define the notebook back to factory settings.
  Then you should check the features of the laptop.

  Good luck
