• Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

  I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
  Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

  Thank you

  Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

  Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

  The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

• Can I retrieve C only on Satellite A300 with recovery disc?

  Hello!

  I am new to the new installation Windows built-in type. I was familiar with the old with Norton ghost. It was easy for me, but I have a problem with the new. I wants to recover C only on my laptop with a different size than the size of the plant.

  I want to delete the first partition and reorganize others because I want bigger partition for my data and small Partition for my system. Can I start the program with the CD, and then insert the Toshiba recovery disc and use the image of Vista on recovery DVD to recover only the C drive?

  Excuse me for my English. :-)

  Hello

  At first, I must say that your English is very good and understandable. ;)

  Back to the question of the recovery. I agree with you. With old Norton ghost recovery image, it was possible to install the operating system on a partition only. Unfortunately with the recovery media that you can create with your Satellite A300, something like this is not possible.

• Re: Satellite A300 - the recovery disc include music and programs?

  I have a Satellite A300 and were invited to "recover"my computer."

  I did not yet a recovery disk and I was wondering if the files (ie. music) would be included in the recovery, and if they were not would be removed. Also, I was wondering about the programs (ie. iTunes), it will be recovered because I do the recovery with installed disk.

  It's just a problem because I have 250GB of music and I would like to take a moment to move to my laptop hard drive and it would really screw up iTunes.

  Hello

  It s a good idea that you think about the creation of a Toshiba Recovery disk because you need so Vista doesn t start. This could happen

  In any case, the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can create with the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. What does the program do?
  The recovery disk creator burn a boot drive with a factory image. This means that all the files you have stored on the computer or programs that you have installed are not on the recovery disk. The image I made is stored on the second partition of your laptop in the folder HDDrecovery.

  So before starting the recovery disk, you should back up all the files on a DVD or external HARD disk. The complete HARD disk will be formatted with the recovery disk.

  Moreover, you know the function of HARD drive recovery? It s similar to drive recovery but it formats only the first partition. You can start this feature Toshiba if you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer and then choose the Toshiba Recovery option. Then you come back to factory settings.

  But the files and programs that you have installed don t affect this image. So don t you worry about this and back up your files at any time.

  I hope you understand now and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

  Good bye

• It's the very necessary for Satellite A300-15E recovery disk

  Hello, my house such a problem. I bought when I tried to change drive sharing which was not half and half and that for the C drive he was taken for example 50 GB and disk D has remained.

  Well buddy. You mad a big mistake, you must have created the first recovery disc before you changed or deleted something from the disc.

  Well, if this is not possible then you have no choice as to order the recovery of this site disk:

• Questions about pratitions by Satellite A300 HDD & recovery

  Hi all

  I m planning to buy the new model laptop Satellite A300 - 1 GR for my work.
  But I found that there is a problem. Many users face when dealing with laptop in general which is the removal of the partition when you use recovery disk to any operating system failure & lose data out there on other readers.
  So what I want is a solution that makes me able to track:

  1 have several drives C, D, E, etc.
  2 - the operating system is on the C drive & my work on other data
  3. in the case of any problem or failure in the operating system, I can format the entire disk C: & install another OS on it without any deletion or modification on other readers that my data stored on
  4 - ability to install different operating system like Windows Vista, XP or Linux s

  I just want just my new laptop to be like my desktop (Full controlled by me) PC

  Best regards

  Hey Buddy

  Will try to provide a little light on the case ;)

  The A300 is equipped with the function of HARD drive recovery. This means that you can recover the laptop without the DVD of the OS.
  The installation will start from the HARD drive.
  Of course, there is a possibility to create a Toshiba Recovery DVD using a preinstalled Toshiba disc creator.
  After the creation of DVD de Toshiba Recovery you can format the whole HARD drive and delete all partitions (if you want).

  Up to now, we come to the point that you have requested;

  The whole HARD disk will be formatted (also partitions) If you want to use the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  Why? I think that the recovery DVDs was designed for one purpose; parameters of the laptop back to the factor settings.
  And this is what the recovery DVDs. It sets everything to its original state.

  So, if you want to keep your data on the other partition, then you shouldn't use the Toshiba Recovery DVD but an original disc of Microsoft Windows OS.

  In addition he s always advisable to back up the data on an example external HARD drive.
  Then it would be no problem to recover the data on the laptops HDD.

  See you soon

• Re: Satellite A300-1MC: recovery would restore to the original system?

  The story so far...

  Laptop failed (A300-1MC)

  No available recovery disk
  Replaced HARD drive
  Installed Vista using the borrowed from the previous model of Toshiba Satellite recovery disk
  Installed the missing drivers-online work system without valid product key
  Connected the old HARD drive using the box external usb
  Launched original TRORDCLauncher on the old disk - no error

  So now, I apparently have 2 recovery DVDs.

  Question: Will these DVD restore to original system?

  The previous Satellite was no TRORDCLauncher and come included with recovery disks

  I am aware of the correct procedure-online recovery disks in order to https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu

  > So now apparently I 2 recovery DVDs.

  Recovery disk would still set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of purchase

• How to install Vista on Satellite A300 without recovery disk?

  Please, I desperately need help.

  My brother bought a new Toshiba A300-23F in Saudi Arabia. He has little knowledge of computers.
  It's on the screen threre.

  He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  He gave me to fix the problem. Because it is designed for windows vista. I want to install windows vista, but I do not have the disk recovery or operating any drive.

  How am I suppose to install windows vista?
  Someone told me that I have download the vista track and enter the key that is on the back of my laptop.

  Anyone with an idea. Please

  > He sent it to my father in Pakistan but quickly noticed it was full of viruses and it installed fresh Windows xp SP2 after formatting hard drive.

  It was a big mistake buddy
  The recovery disk is not shipped with the laptop because he had a tool preinstalled called creator Toshiba Recovery disk that allows you to create a clean recovery disc.
  But this is not possible because the HARD disk has been formatted and all files have been deleted.

  Now, you would not be able to recover the camera even using HARD drive recovery because the files are not available on the HARD disk.

  You need a recovery disk, and you can order it here:

• Satellite A300 1J1 - Recovery Mode "Expert" to change the size of the partition

  I'm trying to reconfigure the size of the partition of windows with the recovery partitions as I don't like the idea of having the poit drive 50-50.

  I would like therefore to reduce it so that only the data of recovery will be adapted on the D drive and my main partition will be much greater. IE C: = 240 GB + and the recovery drive (d) will be only 5 GB (large enough for recovering data only.)

  I posted this thread here a few days ago.

  [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=132571𠗛]

  This and the search of these forums has gotten me to the point where I think I need to use the DVD of recovery in "EXPERT" mode This should allow me to set the partitions manually rather than automatically right in the Middle!

  I noticed that the screen asking me what to install has a SETTINGS option that is always grayed out.

  Does anyone know how to open the SETTINGS screen, or if there is another way to create the partitions manually?

  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  I have already replied to the other thread (see the link in your message)

  The point is that you cannot resize partitions using the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD.

  Mentioned Expert mode is not available in the Vista recovery DVDs.
  The expert mode is part of the Win XP Recovery CD.

  However, the fact is that the Vista recovery DVDs sets the laptop to factory settings and also the size of the partition.

  The sizes of the partitions can be modified in the Vista Disk Manager!

  Good bye

• For a laptop Satellite A300 1J1 recovery CD creation

  I have no prior experience to make a recovery CD, and I hear are only get a shot to do so and therefore must be careful not to screw up. That's why... I write here so I can get some clarification on how to achieve this. I'm not going to rush in like a bull in a China shop, because it's usually when I make mistakes.
  Wish someone to guide me through to this step by simple step so that is not too demanding request. I would appreciate it a lot.

  All the I know is that I have the Toshiba recovery disc creator in Program Files... I'll install ImgBurn if it's OK to use it, but would like some advice to help me with this so I do not spoil.

  Moussa kind thanks,
  KES

  Hello Kes

  Toshiba takes care of you and simply how to do this. ;)

  You should not install anything. Just start Toshiba Recovery creator tool and put the DVD-R media empty high quality and follow the menu on the screen. All that s.
  I recommend you to use TDK or Verbatim media. I tested both of them, and they work for sure.

• Allowing Satellite A300-16I recovery disk

  I recently bought this laptop and I get this reminder to make a recovery disk, but does not work the link to the program.

  When I found the recovery disk program in its original folder it has always refused to open.
  My laptop "" just think for a moment and then pretend nothing happened.

  Does anyone have a solution for me?
  Maybe I could download a working version of this program...?

  Hello

  From my own experience after a third system to restart a recovery reminder pops up saying: you must create a recovery DVD.
  You said you found recovery disk program in the original record well, as far as I know there is a TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator shortcut on the desktop.
  This shortcut allows stars to this application.
  If this is not possible, then you can try to recover the laptop again, and then to create the recovery CD.

  To start the recovery process you must press the F8 key immediately after starting the system.
  Then choose the option called fix your computer and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Cannot create a recovery for my Satellite A300-1BZ CD

  I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator repeatedly and with many different brands of discs to create the recovery disk.
  However each time as the laptop is about to finish burning the disc, there is an error and the operation not can be completed.

  I don't think there is a problem with the drive as I have used for many other things including watching movies without problem.
  Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  Thank you

  > Could Toshiba please send me a recovery disk instead?
  A mail recovery disk? Very interesting. Mailed 4 GB image is not so easy.

  I don't know what you're doing, but if you want good tip then use Verbatim or TDK DVD-R blank media. For the DVD-R.
  I have too many Satellite A300 and recovery DVD, I created successfully.
  Do you use DVD-R virgins too?
