• Formatting and reinstalling Windows without the recovery CD

  I don't have access to my recovery cd as I am currently overseas and I am trying to format and reinstall windows. What would be the best way to do this? The recovery CD is totally part of reinstalling windows?

  I don't want to just do the reinstall and find that I have no screen etc.

  Hello

  Well, if you have no recovery CD, you can install the Windows operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows. Then you can try to download all the required drivers will Toshiba from the Toshiba download page.

  But beware: you must update the drivers in the correct order. The drivers are placed in the right order, and it is very important for the new facility.

  If your goal is to reinstall the operating system there are ways to achieve

  We need to tap the F11 key immediately after presswing the laptop power button. Who will call the Recovery Manager unless you have deleted the recovery partition or have done something to the original disk partition scheme. In the Recovery Manager simply choose to recover your PC for the original operating system

  Alternatively, you can order a set of HP recovery disks.

  Hello

  Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
  To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

  Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
  Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
  Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  Maybe it would work

• Satellite Pro L300 - what I can reinstall Vista with the recovery disk?

  Hey

  I dual-boot (running Windows Vista & Win7) and if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  And I have another drive on my computer for recovery Partition so I can use my recovery CD to reinstall Windows vista if I want once I got rid of him and would it erase my win7 disk or remove the duel boot?

  My specs are:
  Intel Pentium
  2 GB OF RAM
  Hard drive 160 GB

  > if I delete Windows Vista can I reinstall Windows Vista with my recovery CD?
  You can use the recovery disk to reinstall Vista on your laptop but as Luke mentioned, the recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive. It would erase all partitions on the HARD drive and you will lose also the installed Win 7!

• Sale of OEM computers without the recovery disk

  I just bought a computer from a State surplus auction.  The computer came with Windows XP Home installed, and a certificate of authenticity attached to the case.  However, there was no recovery media included in the sale.  Is it legal to sell me the computer as it is?  Everything I read says I need to include the recovery disk so that the license transfer legally, but I feel that the reason is so that I have more copies of the software.  Is this correct?
  Thanks in advance!

  Do you mean that the current drive cloning and who then distributes with the sale of a PC would be in the EULA?

  No, it's not an original image.  This might be useful:

  Dear support team,

  Yesterday 31/07/2010, I went to the distributor of Toshiba in Saudi Arabia and I bought the Qosmio F60-111, Jarir Book Store.

  When I got home, I found that the package do not have the recovery disks, or the operating system.

  So please I want to know is the problem?
  Buy this laptop powerful and to be surprised that they don't have a recovery disc?

  I checked the package so many times and I could not find any disk!

  Please let me know if this is normal or I don't know.
  According to me, I'm being scammed: S

  Anis.

  Hi mate.

  First of all, you should take a look in the user manual of your Qosmio F60 and read the entire manual carefully.

  You will find information on the laptop and the recovery disks.
  The point is that you can create a clean recovery disc using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called preinstalled tool.
  But all this information is in the user manual too.

• Satellite U400-146 - how to start recovery without the recovery disk

  I need to try to do a restore system on my Satellite U400-146.
  However, I don't think it came with a disc.
  Does anyone know how to initiate recovery of the system on this laptop?

  Hello

  The recovery disk was not provided with the laptop because there is a tool called Toshiba Recovery disk Creator that allows you to create a recovery disc!
  Please check if you can create a recovery disk using this tool!

  If this is not possible, then you can check if the HARD drive recovery is available.
