• Satellite A10: Cannot recover system with recovery CD

  Hej everyone!

  I was struggling with a strange problem lately, I can not understand yet, so if anyone has any ideas so pls...

  I have 2 laptops Satellite A10. I lost the CD of recovery to one of them, so when I tried to reinstall the laptop I decided to use the other one recovery CD to do that because they are the same... at least I thought they were...

  I repartitioned the laptop with fdisk and made the partition active, formatted and then when I boot with the recovery CD, it began, began to dump files, but about 20%, he just say 'impossible recovery' or something "partition is not active" and restart. When I rebooted, it saw that the format of the C partition was gone (he said unformated or damaged partition).

  Now, I tried 1 partition, 2 partitions, FAT32 and NTFS, no joy... I think you must have some special configuration of partitions to ensure the success of the recovery, but I don't know how.

  I have not tried to reinstall the other laptop with the recovery CD because I'm afraid that it's too bad...
  Can someone help me pls?

  Hello Linus

  Before you begin the recovery procedure, it can't do anything. Simply start the recovery procedure. I don't really know why the recovery procedure stops after 20%, but please do not prepare HARD drive before using the recovery procedure delivered.

  If I remember well you have two options before the start of the recovery procedure: standard and expert mode. If you use the standard mode is wiped the entire HARD drive and recovery image will create a partition (the whole HARD disk capacity). Using expert mode you can create a clean partition and later in management of the disks (under WXP) create the second logical partition.

  Please try both options. If the recovery CD is not damaged I really don't see any reason why the recovery procedure can be done successfully.

• Satellite A10 dies after the power LED blink

  Hello

  I have a problem with the power supply of my Toshiba Satellite A10. Sometimes, after the computer sat for some time, I have a problem with the power. The "plugged power cable" - LED will start to blink and shortly after, the computer just dies.

  It can also have the time to go into a lower energy state before he does. When it happened once, it will most likely happen also when I restart the computer, but after a much shorter time. WXP won't even have time to start. If I stop to select the source of start-up, the problem will occur anyway, this isn't the software. It should also be noticed that when the computer is not turned off, the 'smart power' - is on correctly.

  I know that my battery is not very good. Completely loaded, the computer can run for maybe 3 minutes with only the battery. I know that I must have a battery connected, even if I use the power cable, but this occurs even when the mine problem. The battery would be pretty bad not even allow me to use the computer with a cable?

  It should be added, that sometimes I can use the computer for long periods of time without this problem to happen. I also have a problem with the battery not being not properly in physical contact with the pins of the computer, but this isn't the problem here, because I have the same problem with the battery removed and me holding the battery in place.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  You description is very long and detailed and it of still not easy to say what's wrong.
  Usually, the DC-In witness lights up green when DC is provided FRO the AC current. If the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  So I think that is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

• Satellite 1410/2410 - need to product recovery CD

  Hello

  I need to reformat my laptop but I can not find my product recovery cd. I don't remember if I've ever had or not to be honest. Can I get one sent to me? Or I can download recovery stuff from anywhere?

  I have the cd tools & utilities, is the stuff of recovery of product out there?

  See you soon,.

  Z

  Hello
  On the CD of tools and utilities, you can find the Toshiba drivers and utilities, but without the Windows operating system. Only the restore CD contains the image of the operating system with all the drivers.
  Stefan suggested, you can use the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install fresh OS Win or you will order this CD of the ASP from Toshiba.

• Satellite A10: Cannot boot from the recovery CD after the replacement of the motherboard

  Heres one in your brain is going...

  I recently started a format hard drive via the normal recovery CD, but it never finished as long as the power cut.

  Not to worry I thought, I kept all my data and a new motherboard was on order.

  The fitting of the new Council, I tried to boot from the recovery disc and all I get is 'non-system disk '.

  Then I replaced the HARD drive with a former to check the functionality of the Cd. The old disks (I tried two) both still booted from the cd and their HDs has worked fine once in windows.

  However...

  When I try to start any of these 'good' HDs from the cd nothing happens, nada zilch. In fact they will not start even to a 'Beginner PC' recovery disk either, so it's not the Toshy recovery disk.

  Another weird thing is when I go into the bios by pressing ESC the power upward and then F1 and try to change the boot sequence and press end to exit and save, nothing happens.

  If the CD is not defective because it is recognized in windows
  The recovery disks may not be at fault because the other disks also fail to start.

  This is not a drive problem hard as other HDs start normally (but not Cd)

  This could be a fault on the new motherboard, perhaps a problem with bios, or the sequence of events suggests something else?

  Any suggestions would be welcome

  Hello

  Long story. In my opinion you should write is a little shorter but with more useful information.
  I am interested in one thing: have you got a new mainboard or used one?

  To be honest, I'm also confused with the recovery disc you are using. The history is confusing.

  > so this isn't the Toshy recovery disk.
  Can you please tell us what kind of recovery CD are you using exactly?

• Satellite L450D - cannot use the product recovery disc

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum and have spent 3 days reading this and other forums to try to solve my problem, I found a lot of answers, but none does not work for me so I'd see if I could get the thought some very great need help here.

  Now, I have the problem that when I start the laptop the windows logo appears, then Microsoft corporation through the bottom and then the screen black with the cursor of Pentecost, I tried all possible starting in the bios settings and just goes back to this screen, I can t get no prompt or anything like that , I used knoppix and managed to transfer all the files I need from my external HARD drive, so thought I would not reset to factory settings with the recovery disk of the product supplied with the notebook, the disc never has been used or taken from the package until now is so in perfect condition of the art, so I put in the drive , start computer press f12 and make the primary boot CD, but all that happens is it says windows is loading files and get back to the dreaded black screen and a cursor.

  Can someone please help?

  If you have the original Toshiba Recovery disk I assume you have older model laptop with Windows XP Home edition old. To be honest, it would be interesting to know is you.

  In any case, out of curiosity but can only begin preinstalled OS in safe mode?
  Enter the BIOS settings and set its default value initially. After ding this change BIOS boot order and place the CD/DVD as first boot device. Put recovery media in the optical disc drive, and boot up your laptop. While the laptop tries to start C press several times.

  Usually, this should force your laptop to use ODD as the first boot device.
  Long ago, I had similar problem and such combination helped to force the ODD to read the recovery disk and Windows XP Home edition recovery facility. Of course, I hope that everything is OK with your HARD drive.

  Please test and send feedback.

• Satellite A10 stops after 40 minutes

  A-10 Pro keeps closing after 40 minutes, power source is always the head of HQ, can anyone help?

  Has been verified the following: -.
  Virus
  Management - never switch on stop
  Cooling fan seems to agree

  In my view, this question has nothing to do with the virus, but maybe with overheating.
  How old is your laptop?
  Have you ever cleaned cooling grids or cooling fans? Fan may be OK, but how it looks behind the grille. Perhaps there dust and traffic blocks the air properly.

• How to recover the Satellite A10?

  I have a Satellite A10.
  After insering the recovery disc 1 a tab instead of tab C. Now I'm back and I have no idea how to do to return to my homepage or drive D to continue the recovery. I have no idea how to use BACK.

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused
  The recovery procedure is very easy and you n t need to do anything in the BACK.

  In order to recover the laptop, you will need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

  Satellite A10 series is old and the recovery procedure is different in the new procedure, but you should certainly receive some messages how product

  I recommend repeat get back again;
  Put the right recovery disk in the drive and boot from the CD by pressing the C key. You can use F12 and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive in the boot menu

• Satellite A10: I lost the recovery CD - how do I get one?

  Hello

  I am trying to reinstall Windows XP on my Satellite A10, but I lost the recovery CD.
  I had a 'normal' Windows XP installation CD I try to use to reinstall, but installation will not take the serial number on the botton of my laptop...

  Do you know what is a workaround for this?
  And ultimately how to get a copy of the installation CD...

  Best regards

  Even

  The key that is located on the bottom of the unit is only an OEM key.
  This means that it only works with the OEM preinstalled and bundled with the laptop version. Simply said, you can't use this key with other Windows operating systems.

  If you want to reinstall the operating system from the original Windows CD, then you must use the key that belongs to this CD!

  However, you can order a new CD from recovery of the ASP in your country.
  Simply contact the guys. They might help you to order.

  Good bye

• Satellite M70-181 to perform the recovery of proceeds of DVD USB drive

  Hello

  I am trying to recreate the image on my Satellite M70 181 using the product recovery DVD.
  Should be easy, you might say, but the internal DVD player no longer works.
  I don't want to buy a new laptop this quite old, so I borrowed an external USB drive.

  After that I inserted the product recovery DVD the notebook starts from there, autoexec creates a RAMDRIVE and copy the files from there.
  "Recover.bat", the external DVD player analysis must be accessible via the X: drive. However, there are has some missing files on the DVD to mount the external DVD drive: there is no file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB20. DEV, nor a file % RAMDRV%\TOOLS\USB11. DEV.
  Failure of the attempt to mount the external hard drive, recover.bat starts a loop saying 'Please insert Recovery CD #1!'.

  What can I do now? Help, please.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As much I know this model of laptop can't boot from USB CD/DVD drive and CD recovery.
  You can boot from the USB FDD drive and a bootable floppy drive but I doubt that this is not possible with a Toshiba restore disk.

  I think that you could use this recovery disk as part of internal ODD.

• Satellite A210 - 4 1: Winload.exe problem after having used the product recovery disc

  Hello

  I could really do with some help here. I have a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4. Disk partitioned with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.

  Last night, I used the product recovery disc supllied with the laptop in an attempt to restore its initial configuration.

  and the end of the procedure, I find myself with a prompt cmd with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the high bit blue box indicating:

  Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 of ODD to C:\!

  Press a key to continue. Box disappears then an administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the top blue bit indicating:

  waiting for ODD vacancies...
  STRANGE drive f: loan.
  Look for support in the F: drive...
  Failed to initialize the raid class.
  No RAID - continue normally...

  Now every time the laptop trying to restart it just comes up with the error message:

  CANNOT START WINDOWS. A RECENT HARDWARE CHANGE OR SOFTWARE MAY BE THE

  Below I have then have the possibility of esc or continue with the same result of the system attempts to restart.

  The recovery disc has no option of repair on this subject.

  need help please, I have no idea.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Looks like something was wrong during the recovery procedure.
  Have you tried to recover the laptop once more?
  If this isn't the case, you should definitely try this!

  You are right; hasn t drive recovery option for the repair because the recovery disk is not the same as a MS Vista drive. The recovery disk contains image files (it s a package) and the files contains Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  So if something was happening well wrung out during the recovery procedure, you will not be able to repair the installation of the OS, but you need to run it again.

• Is the standard Satellite A200 product recovery disc?

  It is very regrettable that after reinstalling the product of my Satellite A200 recovery disc, the language is now in Deutsch. Since I got the recovery disc to the center of Toshiba for a replacement, do you not thank they will be replaced by an English version? If so will be affect the entire notebook in its performance, or perhaps a program previously connected may have disappeared or missing.

  The product recovery disc is standard for the same unit of model because there is that no product key required?

  SP1 = Service Pack 1. This package has been designed by Microsoft and contains all useful and patches hotfixes. All this is designed to repair the operating system and make it better and safer to be used again.

  At this time you should not install SP1. It may happen that some problems may occur after the installation of SP1. Toshiba didn't start load SP1.
