Recovery media crashed / n ° PC

I have a computer with XP Home Edition Media Gateway; purchased in 2005 from Best Buy.  The hard drive crashed and I have no recovery media.  I contacted Gateway and they can help.  I have the product ID for my OS Windws.  Can I get a copy of the OS, so I can restore my PC?  What choices do I have?

Thank you!  I'll give that a try.

  • Recovery Media Creator on Qosmio X 770 - 10 X does not start

    Hello

    I bought a Qosmio X 770 - 10 X, and to avoid a hard disk crash, I wanted to use only the software Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.
    I found the software inside but when I double click, I just heard the "awake" burner and that's it. The software does not launch!

    Someone had the same problem?
    I'm not sure, but I don't think that this may be the reason: is the burner Blu - Ray is not recognized by the software?

    Original title: Lost my recovery disc (7032 advent laptop) - have Activation Code etc, can I get a free demo of Vista or something that I can restore from?

    Basically, as the title says, I managed to get some 20 virus on my laptop, so I had to wipe everything including the Vista operating system. Unfortunately, I have not found my recovery CD in 6 months or so that I was looking for. Again, I have my activation code on the bottom of my laptop, so is it possible to return Vista on my laptop without having to shell out another £35 to the advent and the Tech Guy? I appreciatereallyhelp on this issue, Ubuntu (which I use now) is driving me crazy and, frankly, has nothing on Windows 98, never mind Vista!

  • Recovery media does not

    A year after I bought my system (13 months to be exact), the hard drive crashed hard and is not accessible.  So, I went out and bought another hard drive (SSD, 256 GB) to replace the 1 TB hard drive provided with the system.  I put in the recovery media, and it will not be installed because it does not meet the requirements of the media (hard drive size).  Is this normal?  On my other systems with a recovery partition, the recovery disks have been able to re - install the OS and the partition on the new disk even if it is more or less then the HD original.

    Hello:

    Yes, unfortunately, it is quite normal when using on these newer model PC recovery discs.

    I have a solution for you if you live in the USA (it can work if you do not as well).

    When you can, download this ISO OEM W8.  He apparently has a certain amount of downloads per day, or whatever.

    As of this minute, it does not appear available.

    If you come back several times a day over the next few days, you get to download it.

    https://docs.Google.com/file/d/0B0W9PBigPy94aVJWSndyTFNFMzg/edit?PLI=1

    Once DL ISO file, use this tool to make the file on a flash USB DVD or 4 GB drive bootable.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    The key to W8 in the BIOS of your PC will work with this file.

    Otherwise, you can buy a W8 x 64 Program OEM in a computer online store.

    You cannot use an upgrade of retail, or retail disk to install W8 on your PC. It must be an OEM disc.

  • Satellite C650 14U: recovery media creates the recovery partition?

    Hello, I used the recovery media creator to create a USB flash drive recovery media.

    If I can use that to restore Windows 7 installation on a new hard drive (as the SSD) will be the drive itself have the recovery media on that partition?

    So if I then lose the USB could restore again by pressing zero when turn?

    Or it does not retrieve the Windows partition and nothing more?

    Thank you

    First of all, the new hard drive itself has no partition recovery on it. The recovery partition is a copy of the system partition and locates at another location, therefore, restored from a recovery media unit contains just the partition system without recovery partition.

    Second, if you have a recovery on a local disk partition, you can always restore by pressing zero when power on/off. If this isn't the case, I am sorry to say that you don't you have no source of food.

    In third place, somehow, we can say that it only retrieves the system partition.
    PS: just my personal knowledge.

  • Impossible to uninstall Toshiba Recovery Media Creator

    Hello

    I can't seem to uninstall Recovery Media Creator every time I try to uninstall I seem to get a red x error message with the error code (-5005: 0 x 80070002),.

    I think that this has been caused by the system restore, it can removed a file in the folder of the Trusted Installer, I tried literally everything I know but can't seem to remove it.

    I got my recovery so I tried to remove it because of that and bothers me like when I can't remove a program, I have no idea how to manually remove programs but I have a little knowledge with systems operating so if theres any advice on that would be great.

    Kind regards

    Visit the Toshiba download page, download and reinstall Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. I hope this will solve your problem and then do what you will be able to remove it.

    It seems that the recovery media creator software is always installed, but the HARD drive recovery partition has been deleted from the HARD drive.

    This is why the recovery media creator can't access the HARD drive recovery partition.
