Recovery hard drive Inspiron 5150

I have an inspiron 5150 years that was damaged (liquid spilled on the keyboard and the monitor will not come), so I put it there to gather dust.  However, I recently discovered that there is a very important or the files on the hard drive and I wonder, I can remove the hard drive from the Inspiron and install it machine to another, all too archaic (Vostro 200) = to access its content?  I have a new laptop, but don't want to "Tinker" with it because I use it for work, so the old box is all I have.

So I can remove and install or what is the best way to do it for someone other than having someone who knows what they do for me?

Thank you.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Replacing the hard drive Inspiron 1150

    After the execution of each diagnostic test possible and trying to reinstall Windows, I finally out of denial and accepted the fact that my hard drive was dead. I was able to transfer all my data on another computer by using the bootable ubcd4win excellent cd. Having survived that nightmare, I thought buying a replacement hd would be a relatively simple task, and the Dell site would be a good starting point. Showed nothing useful there, so I called Dell support.

    Dell response: buy a $300 80 GB hd (or 60 gb for $170) because it was the only thing that would be compatible... or I could talk to the Department 'parts' to see if they had something more reasonable. OK, so 3 gentlemen Indians in the parts department, later, I hung up and looked more closely at new eggs.

    So now my faith in Dell support has been destroyed, no one knows if they were right on my motherboard only supports up to 80 GB? And I have OK will buy any disk ATA/6 for this ' puter?

  • Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

    I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

    > I formatted my PC and install XP

    No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

    So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

  • HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

    Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

    I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

    I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

    > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

    It is possible:
    In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

    As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

    Hi, pewna.studentka.

    Yes, it ' s possible to delete the recovery hard drive and very easy to do in partitioning, formatting and etc. Once I had an experience to remove it, but in my hp laptop. I recommend you do the following:

    1. contact the Toshiba service authorized in your country or order https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    2. find (buy) a copy of Windows, install and drivers downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  • Can I format the HARD drive without losing data?

    Hi all
    I used the restore CD to solve a problem on my system (blue screen) and everything was formatted... including the partition where I had music etc...

    Is it possible to format my hard drive without losing the data on the partition?

    Hi guys

    To my knowledge it s any recovery procedure, you would use; in both cases the drive HARD will be formatted!
    Using the disc using the Toshiba HDD recovery procedure and recovery HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose the data on the second partition too.

    As far as I know both put the laptop and HARD drive on the same State as on the first day of purchase!

    Negative results of all disk cleanup, Defragmenter, & several antivirus programs.

    Here are a few comments:

    • Your D: drive is a recovery disk. It is normal that it is full. In fact, delete the drive letter to make it invisible. This will not hinder its functionality.
    • Defragment and run antivirus programs will not release any disk space.
    • Several programs using antivirus is not a good idea. At best they badly slow down the machine. At worst causes conflicts between them.
    • Here are the first two steps you should take:
      -Running Cleanmgr.exe.
      -Set the amount of disk space used by the restoration of the system to 5%.
      (Control Panel / System / System Protection / configuration)

  • Replace the failed HARD drive in Inspiron 1545 without recovery media

    My COMPUTER illiterate brother gave me his Dell Inspiron 1545 [Amin Note: Service Tag published by policy TOU] set after he dropped it on the floor.  I used a cart of Sata USB drive to copy successfully most of his records off the coast to another PC (some were corrupt), but I do not know how to go on installing the OS, etc. on the new HARD drive, I bought (a 120 GB Samsung SSD Series 840).

    Dell Diagnostics (F12 at startup) gives me several errors of HARD drive for the Western Digital HDD (WD-WX70A8983788) 320, for example:

    When I have already fixed a laptop, I had access to a recovery media / DVD and a key product of Windows OS, but this Dell does seem to be none of that - just a recovery partition on a hard drive now doubtful.

    What are my options to install the new HARD drive and hand over its files on since I have no recovery media or a product key Windows OS?

    I must:

    (a) reduce the size of the partition on the dodgy HARD drive less than 120 GB and then clone the dodgy HDD on the new SSD, so try and difficulty of installing Windows using the Dell recovery tools? (He had used<120GB of="" the="" old="">

    (b) clone just the recovery Partitions, and then copy the relevant files on?

    (c) try to make a Vista DVD and somehow get the product key of Windows disable the suspicious HDD (it doesn't seem to be a Windows product key sticker on the laptop, the Toshiba & IBM unlike I had sitting next to me).

    (d) something else?

    Thanks in advance for your help.  First thing I will once I have it get up and running is to create the recovery media that he did not!

    Option one could be quite bad if the performance of the system was initially quite bad. It depends on what has been installed on the machine. I recommend a clean installation.

    Follow my Guide from reinstalling Windows / a Clean Install of Windows Vista:

    http://philipyip.WordPress.com/Dell-community-forums/

    This will guide you through the clean install using downloadable Digital River Media (Microsoft online partner). It will tell you where to download the installation files and how to do an aswell USB bootable as the rest of the installation.

    For product activation, there are instructions on the use of the activation program to backup and restore (step 2 and 11 b). I saved product activation OEM Dell Dell Windows Vista to 7 reinstallation DVD. If you run a utility finder key on the old installation, you will get a corresponding product key. It is not would be in line with the key on your COA. The guide explains system locked preinstallation and activation more in detail. An alternative to the product activation is also possible; You can use the product key on the laptops COST 25-digit which must be placed under the battery in the Inspiron 1545 to protect it from deletion. This will require automated activation of phone to a Center (11th step) Microsoft product activation so I prefer activation backup and restore program.
