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.

Cheers, Levi

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

  • What is the recovery disc include - Satellite A300?

    Hello. I have a laptop Satellite A300.
    I have seen that my computer has 1 hidden partition in the first drive and another recovery file in the second disc.

    (1) what is the difference between the 2?
    (2) I accidentally deleted the file on the second drive, and now I am unable to create a recovery disc, so I need to order a new one.

    What is the disk? It only installs the operating system, or it will also include some of the software came with my laptop (Microsoft works, using the camera software and so on...)

    Thank you.

    (1) it's pretty easy. The hidden partition contains the Windows recovery environment and the file on the second partition in HARD disk recovery file, factory settings or leave a picture of her.
    The recovery environment is a feature of Vista, not a Toshiba. If you want to return factory settings, or to reinstall Windows, you need the HARD drive recovery function or the Toshiba recovery disc.
    Here is a useful link to the recovery environment: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinRE

    (2) the reason why you can t create the recovery disk is that you deleted the file. On the second partition in HARD disk recovery file is normally only for this image and this can also be used for the recovery of HARD drive feature. Therefore, you need to go into the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. But now it s too late and you can t use this feature.

    If you want the recovery disc, you can order directly into a new to Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx
    The recovery disk contains the operating system and all the drivers and tools you need for the Toshiba laptop.

    I m that you have right didn't look in the manual? ;)
    Otherwise you all know what I told you.

  • 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.

  • Is the standard Satellite A200 product recovery disc?

    It is very regrettable that after reinstalling the product of my Satellite A200 recovery disc, the language is now in Deutsch. Since I got the recovery disc to the center of Toshiba for a replacement, do you not thank they will be replaced by an English version? If so will be affect the entire notebook in its performance, or perhaps a program previously connected may have disappeared or missing.

    The product recovery disc is standard for the same unit of model because there is that no product key required?

    SP1 = Service Pack 1. This package has been designed by Microsoft and contains all useful and patches hotfixes. All this is designed to repair the operating system and make it better and safer to be used again.

    At this time you should not install SP1. It may happen that some problems may occur after the installation of SP1. Toshiba didn't start load SP1.

  • Re: I lost the recovery disc 1 for Satellite P10

    Hi there, my son lost the recovery disc 1 for its Satellite P10.
    We got disc 2 (drivers) but no disc 1.

    Where can I get an another restore disc 1. and what it cost around.

    Post edited by: merdat

    Hello

    Usually you could order the ASP in your country, but I m not very well that if you will be able to order this disc because the P10 is an old notebook series and possibly the recovery discs are not more available for this model.

    However, you must contact the ASP in your country to get a confirmation.
    Maybe you are a lucky man and the CD is available.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L300 - can I use the recovery disc back Vista?

    On my computer I am dual boot Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
    Could get rid of Vista and then later could use the recoevery drive to recover vista?

    PS I know it erases the entire hard drive

    Hello

    Of course, you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk to go back to Vista. It contains a picture of the factory settings and this means that the Vista preinstalled with all the drivers and tools.

  • Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

    Hi all

    I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
    I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
    The laptop runs Vista.

    In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
    What I can do...

    I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
    The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
    I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

    Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

    Thanks a lot for all the help...

    Hello

    What happened exactly?
    Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

    Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

    Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
    It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

    This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

  • Re: Tecra M9 - using the recovery disc

    Hello, can someone please help.

    I don't have a model Tecra M9. PTM90E-05700WEN serial No. Y76875H professional XP operating system.

    The problem I have is as follows - I would like to reset the machine back to factory settings, I have the product recovery disc that came with it as well as the Microsoft Office Basic 2007 license key.

    Instructions on the cover of the album simply say "insert the first disc in the drive and turn off the computer. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disc drive in the menu. Follow the who make their appearance on the screen. »

    Problem # 1 - I only have one disc, I can certainly say that I have lost. instructions refer to "first record suggesting there is more than one. The disc I have is clearly marked "product recovery". There are some numbers on the disc namely - GMR400776EN0 and also SD124219 of CD.
    The disc is also clearly marked Microsoft Windows XP Professional.

    Problem # 2 - when I make the instructions above, nothing else that the system starts normally. I can assure you that I am pressing F12 before the opening of Windows.

    I don't get the option to select anything and even less the optical disk drive. I tried several times but always the same result.

    Otherwise, I've tried - using the F8 key button brings up options menu, ie SafeMode etc etc work, but nothing referring to fix the computer.

    Press and hold 0 then that until the computer starts.

    Best regards and many thanks

    Hello

    Tecra M9 is older model laptop so method with F8 or zero will not work.

    The instructions are nothing else than the General instructions and not written for your Tecra M9 only. Recovery image is not the same for all models of laptops. They are so different with some laptops, there is a disc only, but with some models, there are two disks.

    I believe you when you say you've got a disc only.
    How to start recovery disc installation there are three methods:
    -Start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings > change the boot order and put the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.
    -key c close several times to start laptop. This will force the optical disc drive to be the first boot device.
    -start your laptop and press F12 repeatedly to enter the boot menu. Place the recovery disc into the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.

    Please test all these methods and send feedback.

  • Help! Maybe I need the recovery disc for pavilion d4790y... + I think I messed...

    I had problems with my office for awhile now, think it might be a fan, virus, hard drive or ram as in my previous post... the computer would freeze/crash or not stop, requiring a firm hard. trying to reboot/restart computer, it would beep several times until I have let it sit for a few minutes, then everything was back to normal (found that might have been an error in the BIOS after all this happened)...

    Now, I have NOT touched or replaced all the components on my computer at all. Nothing! Now I have a debate on the upgrade of OS and RAM, but did not decide whether it was worth on this older machine. So I have done no amendment or change in software. the only change I made to it was not renew norton and goes with vast (free).

    The other day, it suddenly wouldn't boot Win Vista 32 in all. My monitor at startup (before config utility appears) had colored vertical lines across the screen. I immediately thought 'virus' or ' fan isn't card graphic blown is screwed/false driver downloaded... I enter safe mode with network, no problem with the monitor (no lines) and tried driver restore, but also to download nividia the updated. Nothing seemed to work except safe mode (s), system configuration, start the Setup program, CTRL I (don't remember which menu is), & screen of the system restore/repair/diagnose. I tried all the reboot thing pilots config, patterns of change (hard disk only), boot it. When you go to the splash screen (a back screen on startup), no line either... I tried the system restore, did not a thing... I tried the verification of diagnosis, all right... all equipment, the repair of the system did nothing...

    So I take the side box power off to check the components inside to see if any wiring was loose, fans not working/salty, etc... everything OK there besides fan a little dirty. Clean, same thing. Here comes the fun part...

    Now, I backed up all my files and 'backup' on my external hard drive... I thought that I had made the recovery discs or he had came with it when I bought it... I changed the configuration settings RAID0 by removing the old installation and turned to the raid no drives. Then, I created a RAID0 again... I guess you know where this is going...

    He said now insert the boot cd... Now, it of not anything but let me in Control Panel and change the startup preferences...

    I have no recovery disk or I can't find what happened if I have... with backup (for USB) external drives will not work... I kind of looking online hp without result and I saw some online, but that seems pretty shady, especially with the case of the OS...

    I will not buy another office, if I can help it, but I need to know if there is something I can do?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Yes, I've been able to do it once, but you also need an operating system installation disk. You need a USB FDD + OS installation disc and the correct drivers of course on the floppy drive.

    You can use a recovery for this drive yet. It must be an OS installation disc.

    Yes have ultimate could be a problem. If you enter your model number on this site of surgeons in the computer, you get a lot of options showing the recovery disks for different versions of the OS, but only had listed actually drives.

    You need to call HP and ask or email these surgeons computer guys and see if they have the recovery disc for ultimate games.
