• Satellite A30: HDD size after the recovery procedure and Defrag

  I have a Satellite A30 and just did a complete reinstall from the recovery of the product disks. My question relates to the amount of disk space hard should be resumed aftre reinstall it.
  My hard drive is 4.95 full GB according to the procedure that is much higher than I expected.

  Also, after reviewing the reader with Defragmenter I seem to have twice taken up training with Greens, unmovable files like Blue contiguous files. Unmovable files is there and if not how to I remove them?

  It's where I guess that extra hard disk space is lost when it is lost?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's not easy to say exactly how much space should be taken after the recovery procedure.
  I have so much that I know on the recovery CD, you will find the whole operating system Windows XP, driver Toshiba and utilities as well as additional software like OneNote, WinDVD, etc.
  This additional software could take as much space on the disk outside the OS.

  Blue not moveable files belong to the Windows operating system, and as a result, the files are placed together.

• Satellite P200D-11MX: Question about the recovery procedure

  I have an error code, but my cd and the laptop (SATELLITE P200D-11MX) are the two new.
  "First start" Installation failed, then I tried the recover Option and got this error.

  What is the problem?
  And: What I can install Vista again if I format the whole HARD drive? And how to proceed?

  Hi Philipp

  This is a very stupid situation. I have Satellite P200D too and got my phone several times. Everything works fine and I am really confused now. Can you please write what happening exactly when you try to install the OS using a supplied recovery media?

  You can install Vista when you want to. Why you want to format the HARD drive? You don t want to use the factory settings?

• How to restore the Satellite L25 - where to get the recovery disk

  Hello..

  I tried to format my hard drive on my laptop L25, which currently has Win XP, but don't know that if I ever had a CD/DVD of recovery of the person I bought it from.

  Does anyone know if this laptop (L25-s1192) contains a picture of the recovery diskette or if I can get a drive recovery somewhere or any other way to format the drive and reinstall the original content of the laptop?

  Would appreciate if you could answer.
  Thank you... Amare

  Hello

  Usually, the old series from Toshiba was equipped with the recovery disk and the image of Toshiba on the recovery cd.
  If you have a recovery disc, then you will have to boot from that disk to start the recovery procedure.

  If you don t have a recovery disk, then you can use a clean Microsoft Windows XP CD to reinstall the operating system and the necessary drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page we.
  It is a portable American and you need to find US page for drivers.

• Satellite A100 loads the operating system correctly after the recovery procedure

  Hello

  I'm in trouble... I used the recovery CD last week after my laptop developed problems. After the recovery procedure, when I turn on the pc, it loads directly in mode 'Owner' - the pilot of the internet has no charge, Norton AV, supplied with the pc does not load. Basically, it's a shadow of his former self.

  And when I try and start the recovery process, that it doesn't... it does not read the disc.
  I know that the recovery process did not work properly cos when I look in C: it shows that 60 GB of data is present on the hard disk, so the recovery is not cleaned the hard drive at all.

  The only way I can describe it, is that the pc is in some sort of limbo. I can't access the original account I created.

  The recovery disk is still okay because I "explored" the drive on another computer and it contains all the data.

  Help, please.

  Looks a bit the problem I have with an A100 recovery disk. Mine formatted PC, unpack
  a load of stuff and then freezes.

  Like you, I can read the DVD in another PC. I wonder if there is a batch of duff of recovery DVD?

  I think I'll try to install XP from a different installation disk. It'll be a bit of a pain in the neck
  because it will not authenticate with MS, but at least he's going to prove whether or not the hardware of the laptop is duff.

  I'll post back here when (if) I get anywhere.

  You have inserted the right recovery disk and started from this disk. Right?

• Satellite A100 system goes to a black screen after the recovery procedure

  I tried running the recovery CD, I received on my cell phone. the process perfectly, (I have only one CD, I don't know if I need a second). At the end of the process, I have the option to insert the second CD, or jump.
  Because I don't have that one CD I have support on ignore.

  I tells me that the installation is complete and I can restart my system.
  Then I removed the disk and I tried to reboot the system. The system goes to a black screen (on which he indicates that Microsoft load) and then crashes. That was the problem I was facing before recovery.

  Basically, the recovery process has not worked. I don't think I did something very wrong, unless I need a second CD. What could be the problem?

  Help me please!

  Hello

  The A100 is one of the new series of laptops and AFAIK the image of Toshiba was placed only on a CD (DVD) recovery.
  I think that the message and the possibility to insert the second CDconfuses a little.

  In my opinion the black screen and freeze has nothing to do with the recovery procedure and the new installation if Windows OS.
  Due to the fact that this problem has occurred until you have installed the OS from the recovery CD, I assume that there must be something wrong with the hardware.

  But it s very interesting to know if the same problem appears after the new installation of Windows from the original CD of Microsoft.

  It's worth a try.

• Satellite A100: Does not start a recovery DVDs

  Hi guys.
  First timer here.
  I have read some of the Q & A on reboot problems the A100 since the recovery DVDs.
  It seems I have the same problems as keith.

  I want to start all over again the OS and my laptop does not start from the DVD.
  Tried the standard f12 boot from cd option. tried her "hold C on the boot option.
  Both options end with no joy.

  The screen that says "loading ramdisk image", loads the machine breaks, asks me to wait, then every time the same thing.
  The screen goes black, flashes very quickly and white and then loads from the hard disk as normal.

  Now try to hold my frustration and do something radical.
  I know that in the Q & A previous, the subject is considered as replied...
  other options?

  My following thoughts are to delete/uninstall almost every thing and try and force the thing to boot from the DVD.
  have also copied the dvd and tried to boot from the copy, always with no joy.

  Are there any other suggestions?

  Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?

  is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?

  is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?

  see you soon,
  Martin

  Hello Martin

  To be honest, it's pretty strange question. There is one thing I am interesting for:
  Is - this first time, you try to use a recovery media for the installation of the OS?

  If possible, try to get the Microsoft CD/DVD facilities to see if the same thing will happen.

  In any case, I will try to give you answers to your questions.
  > Is it possible to put a partition in the existing drive and to start the recovery dvd in there, then delete the junk of the original section of the drive, and then delete the partition?
  It will not work. On the recovery of the media it is recovery image and this image must be installed correctly. You cannot "recover DVD in there. Not question

  > is it possible to close all essential processes and format the HARD drive?
  I would like to know what you understand under the 'essential processes?

  > Is it possible to reset the HARD drive somehow?
  You can't do this somehow. If you want to 'reset' HARD drive, you must delete the existing partition or delete any OS installation. After having done that, you need to install new OS. All this will be done at the beginning of the recovery procedure.

  I really don't understand what's wrong there. Please answer to my first question, and we will continue this discussion. ;)

• Re: How to start the recovery from the hidden partition?

  Sorry for my English.

  I reinstalled Windows from DVD Windows (win Vista) because I get blue screen sometimes. After the reinstallation, I had the same problem again.
  Now the shop wants to charge me for the service because recovery F8 does not work. I still have this hidden partition, but I put t know how to do the recovery. Any chance of fixing the problem?

  I don t care about the data and the blue screen, I think than is hardware problem.
  Thank you

  Hello

  Now you have the problem. You can start the recovery folder HDDRecovery facility just if your laptop has the factory settings.
  When you use Microsoft facilities disk for the installation of the operating system, this option will be gone.

  You have created recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba?

• How to start the recovery on Equium A60?

  Hi, I have to do a factory reset on my Equium A60, I put the cd in but cannot get it started the recovery, some can help me please? Thanks in advance

  Hi EPAs

  Turn recovery media in the CD/DVD drive and disappears. Press the power button and hold the C button. This means the unit choose CD/DVD drive as the first boot device.

  Otherwise, you can change the boot priority in the BIOS settings and set the CD/DVD device as the first.

  Good bye

• I need Recovery Manager or start the recovery within Windows

  Stupid boring history:

  I work in a local store of pawn and we also miss a place ebay store. Some people are not the brightest.

  We have a HP Pavilion A6400Z that origionally came with Vista Home Basic.

  Apparently at some point they thought it was too slow, so they took an acer recovery disk and put XP on there. There is no drivers / whatnot.

  I put vista Home premium on there to see how he could play, and it works well. The recovery partition is surprisingly intact, with all of the HP Preload files there.

  What I do:

  Only I have a disk of vista Home premium and want to the factory restore using the recovery partition that is always there.

  Pressing F11 at startup is not in recovery mode, I need to get the software HP Recovery Manager, or find a file on the partition recovery that will do it for me.

  Thank you in advance!

  By pressing F11 on HP Invent blue screen, as soon as it presents, should start the Recovery Manager.  If it isn't, there are two other ways to get it started.

  (1) try to start in Safe Mode, tapping F8 (not now) after the blue HP screen.  Then go on the recovery partition and mark it as active in the "disk management", then restart.  Back in safe mode, and it must ask that the installation of Windows you want.  If it does not order them HERErecovery Kit.  You can see several items that apply but do not require the "Vista Business". 5092-7398 or 5092-7399 should work.

• Keyboard will not work to start the Recovery Console repair function

  I would like to use the repair feature in Windows XP Professional Recovery Console when starting Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive.  My keyboard works very well to enable F12 and select boot device.  Windows Setup starts and then loads bunch of pilots - looking... but then my keyboard won't work for select 'R' to start the Recovery Console repair.  All this started because I uninstalled a Lexmark printer and it seems that the driver Lexmark LXBTtime.dll lack now but still wants Windows to start.   So now Config\System will not load.  I saw some threads in this forum recommend that my wireless keyboard does not work - so I borrowed a USB wired keyboard - but still the same problem.  Cannot select 'R' - the keyboard light turns off and of course not recognised by Windows Setup.  Any ideas or suggestions?  In addition to the purchase of a MAC (it was my suggestion of neighbors :-)   Thanks for the review!

  Hello

  In addition to the suggestion of Daavee I would also ask you try another disk of Windows XP installation and also you can try with a keyboard five General PIN and check.

• PC will not boot or start the recovery console

  Windows XP 2004

  AMD Athlon XP 3000 +.

  AVG 8.0

  My friend tried to jailbreak his ipod. Now his PC will not boot the OS. It will go to the screen with the options to choose each time you start upward into the safe, normally last good known etc.. Choose one of these options results when control of the PC for the IDE drives and soon after an accident to return to the screen that says "a problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer." I try to start the recovery console, but then I get a blue screen that gives the same spiel, then this Stop error message:

  STOP: 0X0000007B (0XF79BA524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000).

  In addition, I changed the boot order in BIOS and tried to use the recovery through an ISO boot console. He ends up crashing this first screen appeared. Even if the BONE is fatal, these guys really want to the GET data out of their hard drive.

  Thank you.

  Or, if you just want to back up your data and do a clean install:

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd, or copy it to an external hard drive. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the computer target with a Bart PE (XP only) or Linux Livecd such as Knoppix or Ubuntu and retrieve the data in this way. This has the additional advantage to tell you if the problems you are experiencing are hardware or software related because if the computer behaves perfectly in Linux, you know that Windows (software) is the culprit. Conversely, if the computer behaves badly under Linux, you will know that there is a hardware problem. This is general information on the use of Knoppix for the recovery of data when you do not have Windows:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with enough capacity to contain your data OR an external USB hard drive. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD *. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or freeImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created and the Windows files will be visible under Linux. If you want to burn CD/DVD, there will be a Linux burning program to use.

  * If your computer has only an optical drive and you want to use this drive to burn data or need to test drive, you can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how to do it-http://www.pendrivelinux.com
