  I lost the original CD that came with my computer.

  Purchase of a new copy of Win XP is the only chance to reinstall the OS on my laptop or is there a place where I can find and download a copy of the original CD?
  I still have my Microsoft product key, so I can show that I have an original copy of Win XP.

  Hi Michele,

  Sorry, but you can t download a Toshiba Recovery disk. If you have lost your CD, they come with Notepad, you will need to contact an authorized service provider for new disks.
  On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP. You can call them and e. g., they can sent you the disks.

  You mean what Microsoft product key?
  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled Windows. The t can be used with a disk of Microsoft.

     Hello

     Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

     At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

     In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

     Good bye

     If you try to install your laptop computer with the Microsoft installation disc, you need the SATA drivers. You can find it on the Toshiba site.
     You must load the drivers of an external floppy drive or you integrate into a new CD with nLite (www.nliteos.com).

     For the recovery disc you n t need these drivers because they are already on the disk.
     If you get the same problem with the recovery disk, you should check your disk with Drive Fitness Test (Google is your friend).

      Help, please

      Hello!

      Are you sure it's the recovery disk?
      What is the content of the CD if you find Windows to display the contents of the CD/DVD?

      These messages appear normally if the CD is noisy and so it can t be read properly or in the worst cases the CD/DVD drive is faulty and should be replaced. :(

  11. Re: Satellite L300D comes with the recovery disk?

      Hello

      I don't get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
      Does anyone know if Satellite L300D is provided with the recovery disk?

      As much I know computers made from the middle of 2007 aren't provided with the operating system recovery disks. How can I find out what year my satellite is made?

      Thank you very much

      All new models of laptops including your are delivered without the recovery DVDs.
      Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.

      Akuma is right. "You need to create a recovery media using preinstalled" Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. The shortcut that you can find on the desktop. Please do so and for the creation of recovery media I recommend you to use media high quality as TDK or Verbatim DVD-R.

      You can install OS using the F8 key at startup to the top. The guideline how to proceed you will find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
      Note please. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install another operating system on the first partition. the second partition can be in original condition, but this F8 option will be gone.

      If you have any other questions please let me know.

      Hello

      No, the Toshiba recovery disc can t be downloaded.
      If your CD is zero or something else and don't work properly, you must buy a new one.

      So, contact the nearest authorized service provider and request a recovery disk:
      http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

      Let me give you a piece of advice: before you order a recovery disc trying to format the HARD drive with a disc of Microsoft for example. Sometimes, this can help you if you have problems with the recovery disk.

  13. Cannot find the boot disk

      End 2012 17 "iMac with 1.12 GB Drive El Capitan Fusion running.  When I turn on the iMac, I get a black screen with white text that tells me to insert the bootable disc.  If I press the Option key while powering and I select the Macintosh computer hard drive starts very well.  Any ideas what is happening or what I need to do to solve the problem?

      Sounds like something crashed. See if you can boot to the recovery (command-R on startup) Partition and select disk utility and then run First aid. If you cannot start the recovery partition, chances are that the player broke down.

      Inject you the Perc controller drivers in the boot cd when it was created? If this isn't the case, then this is probably the issue.  He can't access the storage controller so he can't see the disks.
