  Hello

  At first was a little bit the theory for a better understanding.

  In the latest Toshiba delivered recovery facilities DVD discs with all the new models of laptops. "" Since then, I think, two or three drives of years facilities are not part of the package and recovery image is saved on the HARD disk and the recovery disc can be created using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This recovery image is not saved on a separate recovery partition but on the second partition of HARD drive (data partition E) in the folder called HDDRecovery.
  The screenshot on 1.5 GB WinRE partition has therefore nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.

  This creation of recovery operation may work with the factory only settings. with other words, if you change the partition structure, or if you deleted this folder HDDRecovery you won't be able to create the recovery disk or install the operating system using HARD drive recovery option.

  I guess that you do not have this folder HDDRecovery more and because of this, Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator starts with error message. This tool needs direct access to these data recovery to create the drive recovery facilities.

  I think all this bother you much, but it's your fault. Reminder with the trace message is preinstalled on each Toshiba notebook with HDD recovery:
  * Important INFORMATION *.

  * your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly *.
  * from the HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

  * Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

  What you can do now is to order the new original facilities Toshiba drive under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you can use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

  Bye and good luck.

• Satellite A200-12s - not boot from the CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  My Satellite A200-12 s does not start on CDDVD. It is well recognized in the bios. In the trunk is first CDDVD. Under Windows, it works perfectly.

  Thank you for your help
  Thanks to Google translation.

  BIOS Version 2.60 64bits

  Hi michel_91,

  If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.

• Satellite A200 - how to use the disk recovery and backup all the files?

  Hi I have a Satellite A200 that came with a "product recovery cd. Recently I got an infection/trojan/spyware such as windows defender was taken over by something else (a lot of error abnormal messaes and asking me to purchase the full version). I'm no expert, but surely, I know that windows defender is a free program.

  Anyway, please could someone give me advice on the best way to solve this problem. that is the best option to use. Is there anyway that I can back up the files that I have (with the exception using an external HD drive).

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  _How to use the recovery disk? _
  That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
  In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

  _How to save files? _
  First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

  In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

  You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

• Satellite A200 - Crackle sound comes from the HARD drive

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A200. When I start my laptop the patter comes from the hard drive.
  Someone knows something about it?

  Thank you
  Vikas

  In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
  My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

  But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

  Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

  I have a laptop A200.

  I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

  Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

  There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  Hello

  As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
  In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

  In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
  Is what exactly?

• Satellite L300 - I can recover from the hidden partition

  Hello

  The vista on my L300 will not start.

  I try to use the modem for the first time, but he could not communicate with the line. So I delete in "Device Manager".

  After the reboot, vista boot screen appears only for 3 seconds then restart the laptop. There is no way, no safe mode...

  Contact the hd as an external drive XP say 'unknown' 0 bytes, with Linux just like named 'vista' and I could open all the files.

  I have no recovery. DVD burning with the Toshiba Recovery program has failed tree times and so I give up.

  the hidden partition is ok. On my laptop from a different manufacture, I can recover from this hidden partition. Is it possible to do it on my L300?

  Thanks for the information

  Thorsten

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image.
  There are files for system restore, and it is a feature of Vista, not Toshiba. If you want more information about the restore of the system here is a good article from Wikipedia:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

  The HARD drive recovery folder contains the original recovery image and if you don t have access to this folder and do not burn the recovery disc, you need a new.
  You can get one from an ASP, but you can also order a disc here:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

• Satellite A200-1AE cannot find my disk hard flash

  Hi to everyone.

  I have a SATELLITE A200 1AE and I have a little problem...
  My phone cannot find my disk hard flash. I contact toshiba here in Greece, and they told me that they don't know what to do!

  Can you help me please?

  THANKS ANYWAYYYY

  Hello

  Can you please write a little bit more kill your issue? Since when you noticed this problem? What did you do last time? Maybe installed WXP and now the HARD drive is not visible for the BIOS or does not appear when you use F12 at startup?

  Please write a little more. I don't think that the service can't do anything.

• Satellite A200 - BSOD after downgrading from Win Vista to XP Pro

  HII

  I bought a Satellite A200.
  The windows vista family edition was the operating system that was installed.
  Compatibility issue with a particular software that I use, I changed the vista by a XP Professional SP3.
  But since then, the computer crashes and present a blue screen. I wish I had some ideas to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The BSOD can be caused by the problem of hardware and software problem.
  In your case it seems s due to software problem. Maybe a few compatibility problems between certain parts of the software

  First you need to check if you are using the version of Win XP BIOS Yes this laptop needs a Win XP BIOS, which could be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

  I m also interesting when the BSOD appears you installed Win XP successfully or it was not possible to install the XP because the BSOD?

  If you were not able to install Win XP then I guess you don't have included SATA drivers participating in the crib on Intel Matrix Storage.

  I recommend some threads here in the forum about this theme.

• Re: Satellite A200 - metal end fell from my laptop. Where does go?

  Hello everyone, my 1st post.

  I have a Satellite A200. I foolishly dropped a few weeks ago and a thin strip of metal with L-shaped fins fell out. About 6cm long and 2cm high.

  I asked 2 portable people, but they are not really sure where it comes, they suggested that maybe "that resembles a part of cold air order (check the laptop isn't overheating as it may be part of the sink), or plate earthing of the basic coverage, used to help avoid damage to components in case of short-circuit.

  The laptop works fine, no cracks in the carcass, etc. and does not seem to be overheating, fan works fine. 100%...

  I have a picture of the part (what I could send an email) if anyone needs to see it, help me. I don't understand how he fell!
  No help in person, where he comes and if it's easy for me to replace it in its correct location, would be gratefully.

  Concerning

  Craig

  Can you please upload the image on a page like imageload and post the link that everyone on this forum can see what it looks like.
  I hope that someone will be able to identify this small piece of metal.

• Satellite A200-130: done remove from the hidden partition void warranty

  Hello

  remove the hidden recovery partition will void the warranty on the Satellite A200-130?

  No, certainly not!

  You can delete what you want ;) you can also install a different operating system.

  You would lose the guarantee only if you open and disassemble the laptop or attempt to upgrade not upgradable components such as CPU for example.

  Just for the note; You can set the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  This would create a new hidden too restore partition.

  Greetings

• Is satellite P200 - possible to recover from a single partition

  Hello

  Is it possible to recover a single rather than format each disk and then recover partition.
  Or will I just use Windows to do since the picture is made by using ImageX

  Hello

  Hmm, there is a big difference between Vista and XP Recovery CD.
  To my knowledge the recovery CD Toshiba Vista does not choose any partition and it formats the drive HARD integer before retrieving BONES!
  The Toshiba with Win XP Recovery CD allows you to choose a partition on the HARD drive.

  You have a laptop P200 and I guess it came with Vista. So I guess that you will not be able to choose any partition and it seems that the recovery CD will format the entire HARD drive!

• Satellite A200-1IW waking up from the idle screen mode - black

  I lost the instructions "Eve". I have Vista 32 bit official A200-1IW.
  A few days ago, I noticed that by pushing the "sleep" button I get one screen is turned off.

  Hard drive is working as processor (I hear the fan works) and seeing only flashes red. Incidentally, Hibernation is still alive (powercfg/h on) and hybrid sleep mode is turned off as it was before in power management. So I made no changes in the BIOS and in the registry.

  Enough of tender regular Vista upgrades. And thinking about it, I ve tried to recover the System State which was confronted with the problem. No difference. I used in the powercfg /a command line it shows S3 is active, S1 and S2 is not supported.

  I ve tried to change the power management settings and get no results. I can use the hybrid sleep mode, but I put t like it. Now the "sleep mode", single screen is turned off.

  Can you help me with my problem? I found a similar problem in the forum...

  PS. I disable LAN, I have not all updates are running and other applications. Maybe some service is hunging this mode and in that case why is the work of hibernation?

  I think that the solution is simple.
  You must update the BIOS and the graphics card driver.

  I read here in the forum that it must be a solution for these problems with the mode 'sleep'.

  Access the Toshiba driver page and choose your laptop and Windows Vista.
  Update the BIOS, then the graphics card driver.
  Restart the computer to update the latest Vista patches and reboot again.

  Once this laptop procedure runs correctly
