Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

Any help is very appreciated!

Thank you.

If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:

However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

I hope I could help you.

  • Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

    When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

    Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

    I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

    I really need that data, please help!

    Hello!

    I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

    However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
    These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

    You not only peut lose, you go. You can not do a upgrade of
    XP to Windows 7. Although you can use a Windows 7 upgrade copy,
    Since XP, you need to do a clean install with it.

    And how I can save it without copying the data to another location. Thank you

    Copy your data to another location - to external media.
    As you apparently don't do this on a regular basis, let me tell you that you
    Play with fire.  It is always possible that a hard drive crash.
    user, near Thunderbolt error, virus, attack same flight of the
    computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As has often
    been said, is not a question of whether you will have such a problem
    but when.

  • Vista initilalize usb disk... How can I backup the data?

    My usb cable was disconnected during moving the files from a [URL = http://www.seagate.com/www/en-gb/products/external/expansion/expansion_desktop/] external expansion of 3 TB Seagate USB Drive. [Url] to my drive is internal. Now Vista sees is no longer the USB in the Explorer. I went in the Adim tools/disk management & demand if I want to 'initialze disc' which gives two options "use the following disk partition style" MBR or GPT. At this point, I chose to leave the application I have I'm not sure what the difference is. Either option would allow me to access the data on the disk? If this is not the case, how can I retrieve the data already stored on the disk?

    Because I had the wrong continues with my desktop and the taskbar, due to problem of Control Panel, I'm thinking of dumping vista to 7.  However, I do not trust myself not to lose my personal information and files.

    Any advice?

    Hopegeorgia

    Backup your personal files on an external hard drive or DVD or whatever you use to back up just before you do the upgrade.  Even if an upgrade does not affect your data, prevention is better than cure.

    Yes. Please for anything else on the post upgrade your questions in the Forum Windows7:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

    on windows 7 starter edition how can I open an admin account, I have a standart account and I couldn't open any software on computer please help me.even change user account cannot be opened.

    Hi kuentin,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    (1) - what do you mean you have only 1 user account?

    When you set up Windows, you will need to create a user account. This account is an administrator account to allow you to set up your computer and install any programs that you want to use. And that's why the user account you are using is the administrator account.

    There is no way that you can create an administrator account, or by using a Standard account.

    (2) are you having issues during installation of the software or opening it?

    (3) what exactly happens when you try to open the software application?

    (4) should be codes error or error messages, if any?

    (5) what software are you trying to install or open?

    You have the screen image out to another monitor (one that is not plugged in fact). How you pass to the internal laptop display varies, but most cell phone companies make a combination of keys, such as Fn + F6 or something.  Looking for a symbol that looks like a monitor.  It is usually color coded and requires activation of a Fn key.

    Hi Tansy,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    I understand that you want to disable the open Internet Explorer at startup option.

    Method 1
    Step 1: I suggest to start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Startup options (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

    Step 2: If the problem is solved in SafeMode with networking, then I suggest to perform clean boot and remove the program that is causing the problem.

  • Re: Satellite L300-1 has 3 - How can I use AHCI?

    Hello everyone,

    Recently, I have a laptop Toshiba L300-1 has 3 and I have a problem with the * AHCI in the BIOS when I install or use Win xp (sp2), the laptop cannot start and continue, I think because can not detect the HARD drive in * AHCI mode but doesn't have a problem with * COMPATIBILITY mode.
    Maybe some of you can help me with their knowledge.
    1, which is * AHCI? *
    2nd, which one is the best?
    3rd, how can I solve this problem?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello!

    If you are looking for the AHCI mode, you must reinstall Windows with drivers SATA (Intel Storage Manager). AHCI mode is faster than the compatible mode.

    After the installation of Windows in compatibility mode, you can enable AHCI mode. Therefore, you must reinstall Windows.

    If you want the AHCI mode, look at the Toshiba site for the Intel Storage Manager. This package contains the SATA drivers you need.
