  • Instead of the wizard of recovery HARD drive recovery

    Dear all,

    I would like to re - install the OS on my Satellite Pro T130 laptop without changing the partitions. This is possible with the http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm Recovery Wizard

    However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I think the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.

    I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.

    I tried at least 10 times and it's getting frustrating.

    I bought this laptop in Hungary in 2010.
    I was wondering that Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) on their laptops or older laptops recovery options came with only HDD Recovery?

    If the start procedure with the zero key does not work, what can I do?

    In addition, I understand the difference between HARD drive recovery and Recovery Wizard is as follows: (please, correct me if I'm wrong)

    HARD drive recovery is re-definition of the manufacturer State which means that it removes all the data in each partition. When you turn on the laptop first time computer, a wizard will appear so you can partition the hard drive. As out-of-box + customization option in the Recovery Wizard.

    Recovery Wizard has three options: out of area (described previously), customization of partitions and recovery without changing the hard drive partitions. I want to use this option, so will not delete all the data of the first partition of the hard disk (drive C). Is no data on other partitions like D, E (etc.) readers.

    Am I wrong?

    Thank you for your answers,

    Kind regards

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop this Satellite Pro was offered with the version preinstalled Win7 and Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. Win7 preloaded includes preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool so the laptop owner can create recovery (bootable USB key) media which includes the original image of recovery for Win7. This bootable USB key can be used for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    As I see you have a problem with the installation of HARD drive recovery, so my question is: did you create this recovery media? You, and you can use it for installing Win7?
    > However, when I boot my laptop with the Advanced Boot Menu (F8), I only find the recovery menu of disk in the System Recovery Options, no recovery Wizard.
    Toshiba HDD Recovery option in the system recovery options will be available if phone has settings to factory only.
    > I tried to start this wizard by starting the computer with the button zero (0) at the top, but it did not work. I closed the windows, pushed and held 0, turned on my laptop, when Toshiba logo appeared I sill held the key zero and instead of the Recovery Wizard, open windows.
    Why don't you use zero to startup? Where did you find the description that you use NRA to launch the installation of HARD drive recovery? I can see in the document validated by Toshiba, you need to use F8 only. When you use F8 and enter advanced startup options is option fix my computer available or not?
    > I asked Toshiba offers the two (HDD Recovery + Recovery Wizard) of the recovery options on their laptops or older laptops with single HDD Recovery?
    All portable Toshiba offered with Win7 preinstalled have Toshiba HDD recovery option but only if they have the factory settings. If the owner of the laptop installation version of the OS option no longer available. In this case, you can install original recovery image using recovery media created.

    From my experience, you should only use the out-of-box option. Be careful with the other options. Recover a custom size partition may lose all the data and recovery image too.

    More important is: you have a recovery (USB or DVD) media or not?

    Hello

    In my opinion, this will not work.
    Of course, you can boot from a USB key, but I think that you can not copy the simple of a disc of Windows XP on USB flash drive and then boot from it

    But you can do this:
    You can create a USB bootable using BartPE or WinPE flash drive.
    Then you could start the NB100 using the USB flash drive.
    Then copy file i386 disk Win XP on the HARD drive.
    Finally, navigate to the i386 folder and start the installation of Windows XP by using the winnt.exe command

    I am trying to achieve a waste product on a Toshiba Satellite running Windows Vista. I followed the instructions provided with the product recovery disc (insert the disc, restart your computer, press F12). While the recovery was then frozen at about 30%. I rebooted the machine, but when it restarted the DVD player was no longer recognized. Whenever I start the laptop now the Windows Boot Manager opens.

  • Equium A60: Impossible recovery - HARD drive failure?

    I have an Equium A60 (PSA67E-001004NO), which is about 3 years.
    Due to a lot of hanging and the full suite of failure at startup, I decided to use the recovery followed with her CD.
    Recovery procedure is followed as prescribed but the progress bar in the recovery process doesn't move at all and after a while, it shows a black screen with warning of failure and goes to a screen with X: / > which doesn't react to exit or leave an order.

    You need to restart. Have you tried the procedure several times and sometimes it shows cannot find EDISK
    Now, he doesn't even respond to the restore CD and pressing of C very beginning... it s just a black screen with nothing to do.

    Is it possible that the hard drive is faulty or something with the recovery procedure?
    I n t tried with Windows OEM but there any help and how to do with it.

    Toshiba has been a trustworthy companion in the last 3 years and it would be nice if it can be restored with the real amount of monetary resources.

    Any help

    First of all, try to use an original installation disk to Windows. Insert the disc and boot from the CD, and then follow the instructions provided by the installation routine.

    Maybe your recovery CD is not working more properly, so this method should say whether or not he is the recovery media.

    Basically - you do not have!  If you bother with the kind of recovery partition, you will 'break' and prevent you from then do any function of HP recovery.

    My guess is that you're trying to upgrade through Windows Update Win10 - which is the more error-prone and unreliable way to do.

    Instead, you must download and create this link installation media, insert the media while Win8.1 is running and see if it then you can perform the update: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

  • Impossible to create recovery USB Drive After Win 8.1 pass on Lenovo Twist

    After the upgrade to Win 8.1 and try to create the recovery usb disk, I get this error:
