  My question is can I use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator program to burn CDs and DVDs next to the Windows image?

  Hi mate,

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator can create the Toshiba Recovery disk and that s all!

  If you want to burn the other CD or DVD, you can use other software such as Nero or CD Burner XP. The last one is a free and really nice. It has many functions and is very low. Check it!

  Hello

  Why you didn t create a DVD recovery Toshiba at the beginning?

  In my view, there is info in the user manual and a notification that recovery HARD disk image should be burnt on the DVD using the Toshiba recovery disc creator.

  I don't know if you will be able to reinstall Vista now without buying the DVD of recovery of m.

  Try to boot the computer and press the F8 key. Usually a start menu should appear providing some options. The first option called fix my computer will allow you to reinstall Vista. But I doubt that this option is now available after installation of XP!

  This is why you last chance would be a recovery DVDs you can buy here:

• Re: Satellite A300 cannot start, cannot use the factory recovery

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A300, which gave me problems in the past few weeks...

  I use Windows Vista

  There are about 2 months in the beginning of the laptop problem, it restarts itself automatically before enter in windows (while in the windows loading screen, no blue screen, screen just suddenly darkens and restarts itself), but it will get finally in windows successfully after a few loops

  but about 3 weeks ago, it just keeps looping and never get into windows, good news, it is that it can capture mode safe without problem

  I've done everything I can to try and save, as play with msconfig, drivers, removing the Rams etc, but not luck

  so, I save everything in safe mode and decided to restore the machine factory, but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!

  any idea? or y at - it another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop? is it a hardware problem or software?

  I thought about the creation of recovery disks but my cd drive is not working properly, and I don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...

  Thank you very much!

  >.. .i don't want to take the risk of buying an external cd drive not knowing not if the problem can be solved...
  That of right, but you must understand that it is not easy on this virtual path to offer an accurate explanation and diagnosis for your problem.

  It is not easy to tell whether it is hardware or software related issue. best way to test is installation of recovery image. Recovery image is tested and if there are no some portable hardware problem should work fine. How to install the recovery image, which you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

  >.. .or is there another way to restore to factory without touching the windows installed in my laptop?
  Something like this is not possible. Windows that you use now needs to be reinstalled. I don't know why you the laptop restarts, but it's also the risk of recovery image installation. In case this recovery image installation will be interrupted, you will have two problems:
  -image of original recovery saved on your HARD drive will be unusable
  -you will not be able to start t

  In your situation the best is to minimize this risk and have original recovery DVD that can be used if something goes wrong.
  > but the problem is that when I boot up the computer by pressing 0 and enters the recovery screen, reboot loop will happen!
  Can you please explain what is exactly happening? Is - this laptop is simply cut off / go to the coast and then reboot again or what?

• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite P500 - loop of reboot after using the Toshiba Recovery disk

  Hello

  I have a problem recovery SATELLITE P500. I did the recovery disks. It starts ok on the recovery disk and format the hard drive and copy the disks to the hard drive. Then, he begins installing windows and restarts.

  He then goes to a loop
  (1) marketing and says "Setup is preparing your computer for first use.
  (2) Toshiba banner saying please wait... Second installation may take several minutes. Pleae do not interrupt or shut down the computer!
  (3) Windows logo
  (4) close...
  (5) restarts and goes to 1)

  It would be great if someone could help me with this.

  Thank you very much
  Softari

  Hello

  I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

  You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

  So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)

• Satellite P105-S6197: how to use the system recovery disk

  Greetings,

  I have a P105-S6197 and I followed the instructions on the recovery disk,

  1. Insert the disk or disk #1 in the drive.
  2. turn on your computer while holding down the button 'C' (release key 'C' when the display shows "Toshiba")

  but these instructions do not work the computer starts just to the top normally and do never runs the disk.

  Is there another way to get the disc to run so that I can completely reformat my computer to the way it was when it was first purchased.

  Thanks, Edana

  I can provide the same information as codes for:

  There are different options to allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.

  One is the C key (you have to press several times) immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  The second possibility could be the F12 key.
  It would start on the screen menu and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Last but not least, you can change the boot order in the BIOS.
  The reader of CD/DVD (ODD) in the first place and the gaming laptop should boot from the inserted CD, bootable automatically.

• Cannot reformat using the Toshiba Recovery disk

  Hello
  I'm not sure whether or not my question was published by third parties. Please let me know if someone had posted this.
  Here's my problem.

  I put the recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive. Then I restart my laptop and press F12 and select boot from the CD-ROM. Then I come to a black screen where it says 'Windows 98...'

  After some time, the failure message appear.

  My laptop was with Windows XP and I don't know why the word 'Windows 98' appears. After failing, I try to go to the window and double-click the CD-ROM Setup and he says not can read any of the files on CD. The CD is used to reformat the laptop before.

  Is it the corrupt CD?

  Hey mate,

  First of all, it would be interesting to know what laptop you have. Maybe it has been bundled with Windows 98 recovery disk I put t know.

  Theoretically, it could be a problem with the CD. Try another disc and see what happens.

• Satellite A300-1ND - can I use SATA2 HARD disk?

  Hello.
  Is there a place to upgrade A300-1NDs SATA HDD hard drive SATA2? I know that SATA2 is faster and is backward compatible with SATA, but do not know if the laptop would be able to use the full speed of SATA2.

  THX all

  Hello

  As Akuma has already said the s normal HARD disk with 5400 or 7200 RPM are not due the old interface SATA1.
  The speed of your drive you can check yourself with HD Tune for example. I think that your HARD drive will not reach the 150 Mbps.  ;)

  The new SATA2 interface is compatible with SATA1 controllers, but it won't bring a performance gain.
  Only the new generation of SSD also called HARD disk s can use fast SATA2 interface but these drives are more expensive than normal HDD s.

  Good bye

• Satellite A300-15 has failed to create the recovery disk

  I'm trying to create the recovery for the first time disk (portable purchased before 5 days) and stop just before the end, the creator:

  Cannot read the file.
  F:\06343XSP5. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
  (Error code: 020150-20-00000000)

  What's not?

  I posted this already in another thread, but I can repeat it;

  I noticed that not all DVDs are compatible and sometimes it of not possible to burn the recovery due to the problem of DVD DVDs.
  I put t know what DVD discs you use, but I had a good experience with TDK DVD-R.

  So my advice is simple; Try different DVD from different manufacturers

• Can I restore a single partition using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

  I need to know if I can restore just the windows on my partition main because I don t want to format all my HARD drive.
  In my second partition I have backed up all my files and I don t want to erase.
  Please can someone tell if I can do this?

  If you have a Toshiba Vista recovery DVD then the whole HARD drive will be formatted and it s not possible to restore the operating system on a single partition.
  Therefore, you should always backup before using this disc

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  Best regards
