Recovery partition, lost the Satellite C870D

You will need to run the recovery procedure but lost the partition on the hard drive. Given that the product key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI, I wonder if I can use the iso provided by Microsoft 8.1 + drivers posted on the Toshiba site.
Is this possible or should I buy the Toshiba recovery disks?
The operating system mentioned that there is Win 8 64-bit RTM

Yes you can use the iso file and drivers available on the Toshiba download page, but you can't use the product key for activation. As far as I know this key belongs to the original recovery image that you got with your machine.

  • Restore the partition from the Satellite Pro A200 recovery

    Hello

    I accidentally deleted the 5 GB recovery partition on my Satellite Pro A200. I have since recovered (and the data inside) and tried to create my discs of recovery using the "Recovery Disc Creator', but it is to say that it cannot find the recovery partition :(

    I tried fishing by the ini files for recovery disc creator find where he seeks the score, but could not find anything...

    One thing I noticed is that now it is recovered, it appears as a NTFS fs (I think that before it was an unknown FS type?) and volume label "HDDRECOVERY".

    Any ideas on how I can either:

    (a) wrong recovery tool by using the recovery partition
    (b) to make the score look exactly as it did before I deleted it, so I can use the tool as it is.

    Would really appreciate any help - want to make these recovery disc for my vista ultimate before I go around whacking backtrack top :) and dicking

    Hello

    > accidentally deleted the recovery partition of 5 GB on my Satellite Pro A200. Since I got (and the data inside)
    I wonder how you restored the deleted partition. Perhaps the recovery settings partition are not the same that before and, therefore, the "Recovery Disc Creator' doesn t work properly.

    Unfortunately, I think you will not be able to fool the recovery tool, if the recovery partition cannot be found.
    You can rename only the partition NTFS FS. This can be done in the disk management console.
    But I don t think this will solve this problem.

    It seems that you have to reinstall the whole OS using the CD of restoration of Toshiba or the original CD of Microsoft Vista

  • Re: Satellite A300 - 27H? Do I need to drive HARD recovery partition after the creation of DVD

    I just created my recovery two DVDs for my new computer and I want to know if I still need my 113GB partition on my computer?

    Hmm.
    The recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, this means that the recovery disk would be to format the whole HARD drive and would create the same partitions as the first day of purchase to create also the recovery of HARD drive partition too

    So I think you could remove it if you n t want to have this partition on your HARD drive

  • Problems starting with the Satellite C870D - 11 X

    I have a Satellite C870D - 11 X 8.1 Windows running.

    The laptop was running progressively slower, but now when I start it sticks on the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". Finally, he moves to a blue screen saying that your computer needs repair "a required device cannot be accessed 0000185 0xc error code. I tried a reset by pressing '0' at the beginning, to the top and I see the process of disk recovery hard screen and press enter for Yes and I get the "Toshiba Leading innovation" screen with please wait. After the circular points are displayed for a few moments, then the screen becomes white.

    Unfortunately, I don't have a recovery disk to try this option. I'm looking at a hard drive failure? I hear a feint clicking of the HD as if hunting for something.

    If I buy a disc is it likely that I will be able to reinstall using this media?
    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    At first, I must say that you have made a mistake after that you bought your laptop you didn t create disk recovery or the so-called recovery media with the original version of Windows 8 that you got with your machine.
    I really do not understand why so many people make this mistake and do not create bootable recovery media installation backup image recovery.

    In any case, on this path virtual that is not easy to say what the problem is here and, in my opinion, the better you can do is to back up all your important data and install original recovery image. After doing this, you can test the functionality with the factory settings.

    A few days ago, I found interesting options paper of recovery limited after update to Win8.1 - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4403L30001R01.htm
    You should try to install the HARD drive recovery original anyway. How is it that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm or http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm (Win8/8.1).
    Order recovery media can be your last step.

  • Re: Extra partition on the Satellite A660

    Today, I bought my Satellite A660. Because it was a showroom model, the seller perform a (very long) factory settings reset.

    On this laptop, I see only a single disk partition (volume) visible: C-560 GB volume.

    In disk management, there are altogether 4 partitions:
    -recovery partition: 1.46 GB
    -primary partition: 25,05 Go, which I can remove only, no other function is possible
    -primary partition: 9,61 Go, which I can remove only, no other function is possible
    -primariy partition, system startup,...: 560 GB = C-volume

    I guess the 2 primary partitions (25.05 and 9.61 GB) are hidden, partitions used to reset to the factory settings. I know that it is better to leave them alone; You never know. On the other hand, why would there be two?

    I can release about 280 GB for a new partition.

    When I try to create a volume D, the system informs me that this operation requires dynamic disks and the following States that there is insufficient disk space to perform this action.
    When I navigate around on some internet for one, I learn that the standard Windows can support up to 4 partitions.

    If that were the case, partitions to delete for me to create this second volume?
    If there is another reason why I can't create my second volume (D), can someone explain to me what is the problem and how can I solve this problem?

    Kind regards

    At first, I have to say that everything is fine there and if you have good operating system at first, please create restore using preinstalled Toshiba Recovery media creator DVD. To create recovery discs use DVD-R virgins only.

    So, after doing this, you can do experiments with your new Satellite phone and optimize the partitions. If something goes wrong, you can use the created recovery DVD and reinstall the OS.
    For this application use out of the box.

    You know I have Satellite A660 and have tested all recovery options to see how this works exactly and what is happening with each available recovery option. All this is not so bad, but maybe a little complicated.

    In front of me I have original preinstalled A660 and open disk management and the situation is a little different as on your laptop.
    Follow the partitions appear:
    # 1.46 GB (recovery partition) Please note this score has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery procedure
    GB partition # 453,89 it's partition C shown in Windows Explorer
    GB hidden # 10.46 on this partition partition is saved Toshiba recovery image so if you want to use the disk HARD recovery option do not delete it.

    So I really don t know why you have 4 of them.
    I recommend you to follow:
    # create recovery DVDs
    # install new OS using the HDD recovery procedure (F8 at startup > fix my computer) and selected the option out of the box.

    During the installation of recovery is complete, you will have the same State of partitions of HARD drive than I. You can enter the disk management shrink volume C (for example 200 GB less than before) and on this unallocated (200 GB) partition to create the new partition.

    If you have any other questions let me know.

  • How to change the partitions on the Satellite P870-026

    Hello

    does anyone know how to partition the HARD drive on a P870 Satellite with Windows 8 (if the material of the BONE).
    I used the options in disk management. The problem is that I can't shrink less than about 450 GB lecteurC. It is a new laptop and features a 1 TB HDD and 50 GB used only at present.

    I defragmented the HARD drive, but it made no difference.
    Thank you

    I presume you are aware that a "hidden file" is the reason why you can't resize.

    This [http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html] is supposed to do the job. Software free EASEUS ([http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/]) can do. (I think you need to very careful to install the software. I believe that unless you read each screen and check / uncheck boxes carefully it will have changed your homescreen internet, search engine and installed more software).

    BUT
    Any root you choose, make sure you have prepared Windows etc. recovery disks so that you can restore your pc to a shipped State. Do some searching on Google on things like "install the bigger hard drive" "change the size of the partition during the installation of windows" "create a cd bootable/memory stick ' and the popular"migrates to ssd drive"and you will pick up a lot of advice. I don't know if the Toshiba recovery disks repartition a drive to match the original configuration.

  • Need to re - install Windows, but I have no recovery partition or the Windows DVD

    Dear reader,

    Recently, Windows got broken on my Toshiba Satellite L650-170.
    I tried to use my backup, but backup refused my backups.

    After some research, the disc seems to be in good health, but all the partitions on the drive seem to be damaged in some way.

    So, I'm without a Windows disk or the recovery Partition.

    How can I get Windows on my laptop using the windows key attached to it?
    (A friend told me that the use of another work of won´t of windows disk 7)

    Kind regards

    Peter

    Hi Peter

    If you don t have access to the original recovery partition, the question is: what do you have installed on your laptop?

    If you want to have the factory settings once again, you must install OS using the original Toshiba recovery disc. You can order it on http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    If you want to have clean OS install, you can use the original disc of Microsoft with the valid license code. Product key at the bottom of your laptop cannot be used for activation.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    * PS: I live in Tunisia and I can't order the recovery DVD

    Hello

    If you place your order of recovery disks is not possible, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( must be the same version originally supplied with your PC - IE probably Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Error recovery disc on the Satellite A200 - not enough of space

    After reformatting my laptop toshiba recovery disks will not reload windows because it says that I don't have enough space on my hard drive.

    The error message is the following:
    There is not enough space on S3A6134D502. You need extra 2.34 GB to copy these files.
    S3A6134D502
    Free space: 1.42 GB
    Total size: 1.46 GB

    It seems that he has created a new partition which allows to load windows on the partition being too small.

    Problem is that you have modified the standard settings for the recovery procedure.
    First partition on the disk HARD is called WinRE partition and this partition has a capacity of 1.5 GB.
    When you start the recovery procedure and simply click OK or NEXT all went well.

    I guess you have chosen configuration option and click on the second option to install the operating system on an existing partition.

    What you probably want to do is to install the OS on the C partition only in the second hope or all other partitions will not be deleted or formatted. Right?
    I tested several times on P200 and A200.

    It won't work then only option is to erase the whole HARD drive and before recovery installation starts all existing data and partitions will be deleted and formatted.
    So before you begin installation OS Backup all important data and install OS without changing anything.

  • Can not resize the partition on the Satellite A100-998

    Hello
    I am owner of toshiba satellite A100-998 with 200 GB hard drive. By default there is only 1 partition on the HARD drive when I try to resize this partition and create another 8 partition magic shows me error that it cannot write to the boot sector and it fails. I didn't install any software on this computer and it has the latest version of the bios.

    Ranish partition Manager displays the same error.
    I don't know what the problem is because I've done similar operations on multiple computers with all the problems.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Hello

    I also use the magic of 8 Partitions for creating and management of simple partitions on the HARD disk.
    But I wonder about the size of your HARD drive. As I know the Partitions Magic 8 does not support 200 GB HARD drive. I didn t to test but the partitions on the manufacturing site manual says it does not support.

    However, sometimes, I had similar problems with my 80 GB HARD drive. The simple solution was to defragment single partitions.

    I put t know if it will help you because of you HARD drive size, but you can try it.

    Received my free copy of windows 7 home Premium

    Wanted a clean install (not an upgrade)

    Back up all the data and the programs that I installed

    During the installation of win 7, I deleted the recovery of the system partition and the 2nd partition of my HARD disk (has been labeled d, came that sort of lenovo factory, had 70 GB size I think)

    I thought that if I deleted the partition of the hard drive space would be added to the 1st partition and it did not

    Have materialized with the installation of win 7, and now I just have never found my C: and the GBs of the 2nd old partition so its as if I lowered my total HARD disk size

    How can I get my C: to have all of the 320 GB? Thanks for any advice!

    You can allocate the unused disk space as follows.

    Start > run > diskmgmt.msc

    Right-click on the Windows partition [should be C] and click on "expand". Extend partition as needed and enjoy.

  • updated victory 8 to 8.1, how ensure the recovery partition is the same

    I have a laptop of 15-E0116AU provided with windows 8 is installed. I've now updated to 8.1, and I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the recovery partition now some how has also upgraded to 8.1.

    the upgrade took 5 hours and I don't want to go through that again,

    I called HP support and was told that Yes, the recovery partition will recover to 8.1, BUT on microsoft.com site the page says it's not too and any OEM recovery partition will restore the original operating system [which is 8 on my system].

    If HP... which is the correct answer please.

    I already have a set of recovery discs, if HP doesn't let me do another one with 8.1 upgrade.

    John

    The HP Recovery partition will recover your computer to a factory State, including BONES and the original software.

    Please use the windows 'backup system image"utility to create an accurate picture of the Windows partition 8.1 as it is currently, on a hard drive external, USB drive or network drive. You will also need to create a disc to 'fix' Windows. If your computer develops questions or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is to "restore" the image on the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: use System Image backup for instructions on creating and restoring a 'Windows - System Image backup.'

    This process is not a system recovery and is different than using the window restore or refresh or HP System Recovery.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Does not drive recovery partition creator & data - Satellite L300

    My niece asked me to re - install his Toshiba Satellite L300 laptop computer, because windows setup is a little buggy. She never had a recovery disc. Using Recovery Disk Creator Toshiba I tried to create a recovery disk.

    However, the program would not start. Check the directory of the program, it seems that the program is not just there. Later, I checked the laptop data partition.

    There was a card with HARD drive recovery. However, when using Windows Advanced Boot (F8 before Windows starts) there was no choice to fix the laptop. They have only choices were the standard options of windows (except the normal startup mode, etc.).

    In short, it seems impossible to re - install the laptop with the current information at your fingertips.
    What would be the next course of action? Is it possible to order a Toshiba restore CD?

    Another niece has the same specifications, it would be possible to use this notebook to create a recovery disk?

    I'm going to enjoy and look forward to your reactions.

    Hello

    It seems that something has changed on the HARD drive
    However, the fact is you ve no disk recovery and you can not use HARD drive recovery option.

    This means that you must order a new Toshiba recovery disc.
