Recovery CD is not repeated? Satellite A80

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite A80. It came with 2 CDs a recovery CD and a "CD for additional software.

My intention was to format the pc, but I've had problems.

When I boot the recovery CD, there are 3 options: "Delete all Partitions", "Crush the Installation" and "Uninstall Express Media Player". I tried all these options, but none of them install windows XP, which is what it was preinstalled. When I start the laptop from the hard drive, it says "not found operating system"

I hope I can get help here.

Thank you!!

Are you sure that you have started since the right recovery CD?
You must start from the Toshiba OS recovery CD and not from the Express Media Player recovery CD!

Don't mix the two CDs!

    If I understand your posting right, THAT HDD is troublemaker, so I think you should get it again or another HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try reinstalling the recovery image.

    If possible, do this and post the results.

  • Satellite A80 XP recovery work do not

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A80, I want to pass on to my children.
    Before that, I need to reinstall the XP o/s via the original product Recovery DVD-ROM.

    When I boot the disk, it tells me that it only works the * 'Toshiba PC' *-press the button and it restarts.

    Am I missing something? -Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Are you sure you used the right and compatible CD?
    Perhaps the recovery disk was created for another different Toshiba notebook?

    Moreover, something might be wrong with the DMI information, which are stored on the motherboard.
    The DMI contains different information on the laptop.
    If this info is damaged or does not exist because mobo has changed, then you will get this error message saying that it is not a Toshiba laptop or similar

    If the worst case I recommend that you install Win XP using a Microsoft Win XP CD. All the drivers of Toshiba for A80 lie on the European driver Toshiba Note page; You must choose archives to find the drivers.

  • Satellite A80 135 impossible to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disk

    Hello

    Ive got a laptop 2005 Satellite a80-135 that worked very well until I tried to format the HDD after a performance of Ram boost operation (kingston 1 gb Ram module).

    Just after that, the computer started showing software problems and finally crashed;
    So I decided to reinstall the entire operating system yet. and here, I found the problem I really hope you can help me

    The thing is that I can't format my hard drive to my cd player (with recovery CD in) when the machine is restarted.
    In theory, start the Panel menu should appear after the computer reboot with the C key simountaneously key but nothing happens.

    Thanks in advance
    concerning
    jozze

    Hello

    Simply, the C button the STRANGE start.
    You can also try to press F12 after the laptop has been powered.
    Then the start menu should appear on the screen and then you could choose the ODD (optical disc) in order to boot from the CD.

    If this is not possible, the question is perhaps related to WEIRD malfunction or recovery disk.
    Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.
    You can try to copy the recovery CD using another computer and might try to start using the copied CD.
    If it does not the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

  • Satellite A80 - problem of product recovery

    Hello world!

    I have my Satellite A80-144 for almost 4 years now, but now my baby seems to be not more happy and were on strike. I have used my product recovery DVD-rom in the hope of bringing back the good old days No go!

    What are the lost areas warning or error partitions defined and all that blah, blah, blah, which doesn't help me a lot without YOUR professional opinion.

    Following all the instructions on the screen during the recovery procedure did not help. What should do? The hard drive is formatted now, but it does not start. Always a mistake.

    Help, please! Thank you very much!

    Hello

    > What are the lost areas warning or error partitions defined and all that blah, blah, blah,.
    According to the statement, a HARD disk failure is possible.
    You receive a message about lost areas and damaged partitions and in my opinion, this is displayed because the HARD drive is not ok.
    If you can try to format the HARD drive, but that won't help I recommend to replace the HARD drive

  • Recovery facility does not engage on Satellite L850D

    Hello

    as my PC still locked after 10 minutes (surfing on the net, use of Ms office,...) Finally, I decided to reinstall Windows and made a record of recovery facility. Indeed, remove all software (office, Chrome,...) and reinstall it did not solve anything
    I reinstalled and noted installation was indeed very slow (hours) until he stopped at stage 47 of 47. Wait again for if long step 47 in the end, he didn't move at all.

    I rebooted, and then asked for an administrator password to WIndows7. How can I know, I didn't create any user.

    Then I restarted in safe mode, where I could create a user with administrator rights (if did not create a password for it)
    Then I could log on, but he again immediately on screen Toshiba Leading Innovation above windows again stuck again at stage 47/47. No movement at all new.

    So I decided to lower-level security the lowest level regarding ' when the software is installed you are not asked to leave.
    Indeed, the stage 47, then ends.
    But then, I get another step of the installation with the comment "of worden systeemprestaties nu geclassificeerd. It's the Dutch version, which means "Systemprestations are now classified."
    I am progressing a little, but after about 10 seconds, it stops and the progress bar does not continue. Automatically restarts windows and sometimes not help waiting hours. He leaves with execution step 47 of 47, going back to "Systemprestations are now classified", but always stucks there yet.

    I don't really see a solution, please help me.

    As Windows 7 is pre-installed, I have no CD/DVD official WIndows7 and cannot rely on the Toshiba recovery tools.
    I would expect Toshiba Recovery does all the work...

    Even if you are not a professional IT guy, the recovery process is not really complicated...

    Usually, you must boot from the recovery disk and have to follow the instructions on the screen... that's all...

    I also got my two laptops Toshiba repeatedly and never questions had mentioned in your message... in similar cases, I recommend always repeat the recovery procedure or check the hardware parts; for example the HARD drive...

  • Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

    I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

    I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

    However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

    What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
    Someone help me please.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The recovery procedure is not difficult.
    Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

    Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
    I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

    Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

    When I press the button the button normally has a blue color, then the screen stays black, no image at all, then the fan stops. Then I got a beep every 15 seconds.

    Can someone help me what is wrong?

    Hello!

    It sounds like a hardware malfunction...
    If you have installed two RAM sticks try it with a single. Check it!

    I m not a technician to laptop but the problem may be with the motherboard, RAM or CPU, but this is my personal opinion.

    Good bye

  • He can not find the sound controls for Satellite A80?

    Hi, Im a very recent user of a satellite A80, it only 4 days, I played a cd and could not find a graphic equalizer or sound. I enter the area of assistance to Toshiba, but it would not allow me to change the bass and treble, can someone help me with this.
    The cd automatically plays in Windows media player, is there a special program, already installed on the hard disk, CD, or is Windows media player should I use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Deb

    Hi Deb,

    You don't say what version of Windows Media Player you have. However, there will be a graphic equalizer option somewhere, but it can be well hidden.

    I recommend you to download the latest version from the Microsoft Web site.

    The graphic equalizer WMP V9 is available by clicking on an icon in the small window at the bottom left of the screen (if you move the pointer above it is called ' select now playing Options ") which gives a drop-down menu on which the third element is called IMPROVEMENTS. This will be expanded to show the graphic equalizer.

    Of course, you can use other software to read CDs. If you right-click on the CD-ROM item in your workstation
    you will be able to define which program you want to use to play CDs.

    Can someone help me?

    Hi ClementLo,

    I put t know when you get exactly this message but theoretically, it might be a problem with the HARD drive. Perhaps he has bad sectors and must be replaced

    Can you also test the same using a disc of Microsoft? Maybe the disc is scratched

    Hmm... for me, it seems that the laptop does not start from the disc (DVD), but it attempts to boot from the HARD drive...

    In any case, have you tried to boot from another disk; for example, Win XP, Linux Live CD?
    To do this, and check if it is possible... If Yes, format the HARD drive and try to boot from the recovery again disc!

    PS: Have you tried a HARD drive recovery option?
    Turn on the unit, press F8 and choose fix my computer
    After that, select Toshiba HDD recovery option if possible.

    It doesn t work either in Bios.

    Thank you for the help

    Hello

    It looks like a hardware problem.
    If the warranty is valid, you can contact the ASP in your country for a verification of the material.

    If the warranty is not valid, you can first check if the keyboard cable is properly connected to the motherboard.
    If it s properly connected then a keyboard failure is possible and it would be wise to check if a replacement would help solve this problem.

    Compatible parts can be ordered also from the ASP in your country.
