Re: Satellite P200 - 1 K 8: used twice recovery - disk HARD size question

Hello

I was wondering if you could help with a little advice, I had to get my laptop p200 yesterday, it went well, but I noticed there was a 14 GB used in my hard drive, I know that vista is pretty big so I thought nothing of it, but due to an error of installation of some software, I had to get back again , this time I seem to be almost 24 GB used when there is no vista just the files on my computer. (I uninstalled all the software Toshiba because I don't use it either) any body have any ideas what it could be I know not on the score of 1.5 GB for the recovery, but I'm stuck as to where ive lost 10 GB

Any ideas or help would be very appreciated

Concerning

Richard.

Oh I forgot to add I can't with partition magic and I've added the files I have 7 GB now in program files and an installation of vista 14FR adds up not to anywhere near 36 GB, which is what is used on my hard drive

On my laptop, setting it up like this:

200 GB HARD DRIVE

1.5 GB for Vista EISA (used to fix Vista) recovery partition
6 GB for the recovery Partition Toshiba (used when you restore the HARD drive to its factory State)
190 GB for Vista (its really about 178GB GB vs BillionByte of conversion and the Table of Allocation of files)

In Control Panel-> Admin Tools-> computer-> Storage-> disk management management, you can see the partitions. Take a look here for something unusual

  • Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

    Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

    I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

    Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

    Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

    So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

    I thank everyone in advance.

    Happy new year :)

    Hello

    Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

    At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

    In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L350 - How can I use my recovery disk?

    I have a Satellite L350 and you must return to the original settings. I created a recovery disc but don't know what to do from here.

    Before to start a restoration process, back up all important data. The, enter the Bios (F2 at startup) and the value of cd/ddvrom under the 1st boot device. Press f10 to save and exit. Insert the diskette and reboot the laptop. Then follow the instructions on the screen and that's it. Knowledge, during the recovery process that your computer restarts repeatedly :)

  • Satellite P200-1 - can I use 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am always working on my Satellite P200-1 and now, my HDD1 is full.

    I see that there is a location for a second HDD. But I can't find the plug!

    Therefore, it is possible to connect a second HDD on my satellite P200-1BY? Because I bought a new HARD drive and I can't plug it, I only have 7 days to return the HARD drive to the store.

    Thanks for your replies!

    Hello

    If the connector to the second HARD drive is not available there is no way to use two internal hard drives.
    This HARD back and buy HDD external, placed in the HARD disk box. This HARD drive you can connect using the USB cable and it is the best solution for you.

    I guess that HARD disk internal, you have lots of data that you don't need every day and you can save it to external HARD drive. So you can do free space on the internal HARD disk.

    I do the same.

  • Failed to retrieve the Satellite Pro L300 laptop using Toshiba Recovery Disk

    I have a Satellite Pro L300 Vista I'm trying recover using the recovery disk Toshiba official that the machine is not able to retrieve from the hard drive.

    Any suggestions?

  • Satellite M300 - how to use the recovery disk

    Hello world

    I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
    This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

    If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
    Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to format the HARD disk until you try to use the recovery disk?
    Sometimes, I read in the forum that this may solve the problems with the recovery disk and so you can take the Windows XP disc or another tool that is able to format the drive.

    But after that, you have the Toshiba recovery disc. You are not able to use the HARD drive recovery feature.

  • Satellite L350 won't start or recover using the recovery disks

    My L350 suffered a hard disk problem and wouldn't start. He attempted an ASR, but failed. I rebooted after the system recovery cd that I created when the laptop was bought first, but the recovery fails in image 5.

    Does anyone have advice?

    Have you used these recovery disks in the past?
    If the drives are OK I can imagine there is a problem with the HARD drive but I m not 100% sure about this.

  • Satellite L550D-13V - how to recover without recovery disks?

    Hello

    I had a big problem. Win 7 Home Premium 64 BIT crashed on my satellite L550D-13V.

    I tried to fix it, but it does not work. So I decided to recover via HARD disk utility.
    Everything seems to be okay, but ultimately the tool said that errors have occurred. I tried to get it back again, but the process aborted with blue screen "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" this time.

    After reboot system told me that no bootmgr is available. I tried to start using the recovery disk, but it also seems to be defective because the system cannot boot from the disks.

    And there is my problem. I cannot start / retrieve now. Volume D seems to be OK - the HARD disk utility files are still available, but I can't create a new recovery disks and it is not possible to start in disk utility.

    You have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance and best regards

    Hello

    The story is strange
    I m wondering why you are not able to boot from the recovery disc?
    Have you used the recovery disk created in the past or have you tried this drive for the first time?

    However, with regard to the error message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    I googled for that and it sounds like it could be linked to the fault memory.
    Perhaps one of the failures modules.

    Of course, this is just a personal opinion

    If a HARD drive folder is available on your HARD drive, then there is a small chance of getting the recovery of HARD drive to work. Here's an interesting thread:

  • Re: How to get Corel WinDVD without using the recovery disk?

    The update for Corel WinDVD was rather messy and because of this some owners laptop uninstalled to try to install the new software. Now, we ended up with the only possibility of an image recovery, which, in practice, means losing the software.

    Updates for the Bluetooth and wifi are also pretty messy.
    Is isn´t possible to get this software back without using the recovery disk?

    As you probably know recovery image installed on Toshiba laptops is a kind of software that includes the operating system, drivers, tools specific to Toshiba and utilities but also some additional software like antivirus or DVD player application.

    All drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba download page, and if you want to install the version of the OS, you can download each of them.
    This additional software is not available for download. It's a kind of gift on the owner of the laptop because as the new owner, your machine must be ready to employment with full protection and opportunities to use multimedia content.

    If you don't like it, you can remove the system and use your own applications.

    Summary: this software cannot be downloaded separately and if you want to have it again, you must install original image of recovery designed for your machine.

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