Re: Satellite C650D-12J - recovery of missing HARD disk image

I have a Satellite C650D-12J with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. For some reason, she came back to 32-bit. Everything I need on the computer was backed up. I tried to do a complete system restore by pressing F8 and followed the instructions.

The response I get is that the recovery of HARD drive file is missing. I looked at the partition of the D drive on the computer, there is nothing there. I have also no internet access then uses a machine to friends of this post.

Is it possible download drive HARD copy on my laptop and recover the laptop of the software?
If so, how do the hand on the software and use it?
Please be nice to me I'm old enough and I have enough trouble understanding basic use to much technical jargon.

Thanks much for any help you can give.

Hello

I ve checked specification for your laptop and it says that your laptop has been delivered with the 64-bit version only.
> For some reason, she came back to 32-bit.
Something like this is NOT possible. You can have the 32-bit version only if a 32-bit version using Microsoft OS installation (clean OS install). Best evidence missing original 64-bit recovery image.

> The response I get is that the HARD drive recovery file is missing.
Where you can see this message?
When you start the laptop and use F8 to display the advanced startup options is option fix my computer?

    BOOTMNG is missing error is displayed because the installation of the OS was not successful.

    Try to boot from the recovery disc once more, perhaps you will be able to install the operating system.
    If this isn't the case, you must check if the HARD drive is OK. For this, you can use a tool called Drive Fitness Test. This s free software which would test the HARD drive.

    If the HARD drive is ok and you still can't install the OS by using the new recovery disc, then it means the recovery disk is defective. In this case, you will need to replace this drive.

  • Satellite L850 - how to replace a HARD disk recovery partition?

    Hello.

    Toshiba laptop Satellite L850. PSKDGA-02Y012. The original HARD drive has failed in his colleagues even mobile, so we replaced the two HARD drive after you have created a recovery USB. When used to restore the operating system to original status of OOB.
    That has worked and portable runs much, but now I want to BACK the recovery partition (now only on the USB I think) for the new HARD drive.

    Simple to shrink the disk HARD C: (partition 2) on the HARD disk, but then how to transfer twhats on the USB (USB recovery stick) back on the HARD drive?

    Thanks for any help.

    Karim...

    Hello karim

    When you buy the notebook you will get it with preinstalled operating system (recovery image). Original recovery image is saved on the HARD disk on the recovery partition.
    Each owner of the laptop has option to make the backup recovery image and create recovery media. It could be the DVD or USB support. You can do this by using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator tool.
    This tool will create bootable recovery media that can be used for the installation of original image recovery if there is problem with the installation of image disk HARD recovery or when the drive is defective and must be replaced.

    Where the HARD drive is faulty and should be replaced or the owner of the laptop to upgrade HARD drive, you can install original image created using recovery recovery media (USB). After installing recovery image, you will have the same situation as for the first boot after the purchase of the laptop. With other words notebook will have factory settings again.

    In this case original recovery image is already copied onto the new HARD drive and you will also be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery. There is therefore no reason to copy a recovery on HARD drive media.
    Please note: installation of HARD drive recovery works with the factory only settings.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Good luck.

    Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

    I'm stuck please help!

    Hello!

    If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

    I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

    mid-2013

    So I thought to do a factory restore and reinstall windows, but because this machine has been shipped in mid-2013, it has been bundled with windows 8 and 8.1 not. I cannot recover my system with the options of windows using the boot disk, I received when purchasing.

    Or reinstall the system via the DVD starts works. Installation could not see my hard drives correctly or missing drivers.

    Now, I did a system restore (Yes surprisingly has started up normally this morning) but I am always a little scared and would have preferred a clean install.

    Decided to buy Alienrespawn Premium to try to restore my original recovery Image and reinstall the original windows 8 from scratch. But during the selection of these options, I get the message that the image is missing or incomplete. When I try to select another HARD drive he asks to insert a disk external HARD at least 100 GB on this subject. Is there an internal HDD option and select put this system up? I've got 2 750 GB SATA HARD drive and the other has been completely formatted for backup reasons...

    Could someone please help me and tell me what to do in this case?

    A clean install would be the best way to go, but I tried everything I found on google in communities and to but still do not get them to factory reset my PC...

    Thanks in advance

    I can't do a clean install, as described in the article, because it tells me to load the required drivers and there is a missing part so that my cd is in the laptop...

    Please tell me how to do this.

  • Satellite C660 - Diagnosis indicates a failure hard disk

    Run the diagnostics on my two day old - Satellite C660 shows a failure on the hard drive. Check disk hard Windows ran without failure.

    Can I assume that it is a false indication by diagnosis of Toshiba? The thread on this topic is not conclusive on this issue.

    Thank you Fred

    Hi frredi,

    Diagnostic tool what you mean? It's the Toshiba Diagnostics tool that shows an error on the HARD disk?

    If Yes, you must contact the seller of the laptop and ask for replacement laptop. Bad HARD drive sector you can still get but he s not recommendable to save important data in this regard.

    So just give shop and take a new one. :)

  • Satellite A100-192: after Vista installation HARD disk capacity has decreased

  • Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

    My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

    A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

    Hey Dearborn,

    > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
    No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
    When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

    In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
    In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

  • Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

    I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
    Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

    Thank you very much

    Hi Andy,.

    To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

    Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

    Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

    Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

    Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

  • Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

    Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

    I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

    The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

    Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

    Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
    Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
    It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

    Hello

    > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
    I assume you are using Vista.
    The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

    On the other partition 90GB.
    Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

    Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

    Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
    The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

    Hi sabsarh,

    If the hardware supports it, a basic input/output system (BIOS) password can be defined by preventing changes to the boot device prevents booting from removable media. Combined with physical security locks to prevent the hardware changes, it should help to prevent unauthorized access.

    You may need to contact the manufacturer or refer to the manual for assistance with the BIOS settings.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.
