Satellite A100 - loop recovery disk

I have a laptop 19Y03Q Satellite A100 PSAA8A that I bought in Australia and I brought vack to Singapore.
Currently I'm trying to restore my computer laptop back to factory default, but the recovery disk displays a black screen and a cursor before restarting whenever I tried to recover.

My hard drive disk and restore works very well. And I have the original drive hard toshiba came with the computer. (I had cloned the original on a larger hard drive)
My drive was working 2 days ago and used it to wipe my laptop of unwanted files. But for some reason I had to restore again.
The recovery disk would not go to the screen to select the method of recovery and keep restarting. I tried reformatting and the old hard drive cloning today, but the disc does not always (even if the clone was able to boot and run as I had left it your old hard drive). I checked the hard drive for errors found nothing and also led an installation of windows 7, which has been a success.
I would not lose money by going to buy a new recovery disk and hard drive because both work well. I also do not alter the drive within two days.

Thks in advance and I would appreciate a response.

FOR INFO. I'm running the cloned from your old hard drive image

Hey,.

> My hard drive disk and recovery works very well
How can you be sure that the recovery disk works well?

To be honest, the story is a bit confusing, but I think that it s a problem with recovery disk if you have checked the HARD drive for errors and Windows 7 installation succeeded.

You should ask a certified maintainer for help, maybe they can swap the disk recovery but an alternative, you can use a Windows disc. All the drivers and tools that you can find on the page of Toshiba.

  • How to recover the Satellite A100 without recovery disk

    Hi all

    I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 settings * without * a restore CD via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

    It is really unfortunate, I know it can be done as I did before butI for the life of me forgotten what was this key sequence I can't find the article I stumbled initially on!

    I've scoured the web looking for this key sequence and all the proposed solutions, I fell on do not seem to work.

    Unsuccessful attempts so far:
    -Press and hold 0 power
    -various suggest 'F' keys: F1, F8, F10
    -now the delete key

    Note: I guess it may be worth mentioning that pressing F8 actually take me on-screen "start options advanced windows" but I don't have any recovery options.

    Yeh Yes, I'd * extremely * grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here because it makes me crazy... the fact that I've done this before, it that much worse!

    > I'm trying to restore my laptop A100 to the factory without the recovery CD settings via pressing a sequence of buttons during startup (which must launch the recovery on the hard drive partition).

    As I know the A100 series has not been fitted with the recovery of HARD drive partition!
    And so I doubt that any combination of keys will start the partition recovery!

    So you only chance to recover the laptop is to take the recovery disk, then boot from it.
    You can also try to install the disk Microsoft Windows operating system and then could install the drivers of Toshiba on the pilot site of Toshiba!

    See you soon

  • Re: Can I use the other Satellite U400 series recovery disk

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400 121. My recovery disk does not work may be due the scratches that I see in it. I took the laptop to the Toshiba Center service and I got a negative support of them. They said, they can't put the Windows Vista because the recovery disk is not there, and they have put Windows XP inside and handed to me.
    later I got to know that Windows Xp is not Geninue one. :|

    I can still see one of the Partition 'D:' with folder HDDRecovery inside.

    So can I use Recovery Disk of all PC model Toshiba laptop other than the Toshiba Satellite U400 121 recovery disk.

    In fact, I tried with the other model recovery disk, that at boot with this disk, Recovery Wizard starts up, but since I'm not sure about this one I stopped there and brought out.

    Please one of you let me know if you have valuable contributions on this.

    suggestions are welcome!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I don't know Mr. which series Satellite U400-121, it is, but you must use the recovery disc designed specifically for this series of laptop!

    Another recovery disc cannot be used because the drivers and tools that have been implemented in the image of Toshiba are not designed for this series of laptop!

    By the way; You can order the CD from recovery from here:

  • Satellite A100 - WXP Recovery DVD Installation via USB

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite A100 and the DVD drive no longer works. I don't want to waste money on an external DVD drive. I want to install the recovery from a USB device. I copied my recovery disk image and saved as ISO.

    My window of recovery of origin is "Windows XP Media Center". I don't want Linux operating mode. : P

    I tried several methods, but they did not work for me. (Unetbootin, Ultra ISO, etc.)

    If someone could help him in any way will be appreciated.

    Kind regards

    As far as I know it doesn t work on this image of the way and the recovery can be installed with the bootable recovery disk. You can not simply copy all the files on USB and install recovery image.

    This should be easy kind of manipulation that can be used on the different laptop models. Please note before recovery image installation begins the data in the recovery image and data saved on the motherboard should be compared and if this doesn't match t, you will be unable to install the recovery image.

    ODD for this old model of laptop is not expensive. You can find used one on ebay and replace it yourself. If you need assistance, we can help you.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

    Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
    This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

    Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
    Thanks in advance!

    > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
    Yes. Without a doubt.

    New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
    If so avoid any problem.

    Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

  • Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

    Hi all

    I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

    Thank you

    Hi dimation,

    It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

    In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

  • Satellite A100-727: HARD disk 7200 RPM replacing

    I am disappointed by the performance of the hard drive 5400 RPM in my Satellite a100-727.
    It's a Serial ATA-150 record. Can I replace it with a Seagate momentus 7200 RPM disk SATA-150?

    Hello

    I put t see why you should t be able to install a 7200 RPM SATA HDD for serious reasons.
    The higher speed rotation shouldn't have a bad influence on the use of the laptop

  • Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

    Hello, I have a question.

    I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

    No idea why the systems are different?

    It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

    Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

    I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
    + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

    This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
    The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
    + Gets severely damaged.

    But now it s too late for that and you have to order a new Toshiba recovery disc yourself:

  • Satellite A40-151 recovery disk problem

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    I bascially bought this new laptop altogether earlier and until recently he works very well, but a few weeks ago the hard drive, I think that then, it happened to the extent where everything would load and then the pc would lock or it would freeze on the windows loading screen.

    Now, I did a little research and from what I could gather my HDD disappeared.

    I then bought a new hard drive for this the same exactually that I had same model, same brand etc and even same GB, which is 30 GB.

    I placed in the new hard drive and went to install windows xp on the recovery disks, but now I get a problem it starts and tries to install the os, but about 15% in the disc stops spining and I get an error 437 that the file cannot be run or something like that.

    I did something wrong? do I need to buy a whole new operating system? I hope someone can help

    Thank you for your time

    If you have purchased this Satellite as new and quite while ago why you pay money for new hardware? If one of the pieces of equipment is defective warranty will cover the costs of replacement.

    As far as I know that satellite A40 is old enough laptop model, and I guess that it takes more than two years. Anyway, if possible try to install the OS by CD Microsoft facilities to determine if the OS facilities can be completed. Maybe faulty recovery CD is (some scratches).

  • Satellite U500-1DV - recovery disk does not work

    Satellite U500-1DV
    When windows starts up the first time, and while Toshiba request is things installation and system configuration, Windows crashes and restarts the system.
    What can I do? It happens every time.

    Thank you

    It may be the laptop computer hardware problem or recovery disk.
    You can try to start the installation using another disk installation disc for example clean Microsoft Win 7.

    If the installation would be functions, then your laptop s material should be ok and the problem is with the recovery disk

    My original recovery disk was lost around the House 3 months back, which I am now myself kicking on.

    The error that you declare, is a fault with the Vista disk image cannot be applied to the hard drive.

    Which you used 2 recovery discs of different product, which would indicate that there is not support for product recovery but a defective hard drive, possibly bad sectors on the hard disk.

    If the laptop is in it duration of warranty, then give Toshiba a call for the book on deposit for a repair of the equipment.

  • Satellite A300 - need recovery disk

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 with Windows Vista pre installed, but I did not receive any CD or DVD with Vista. I have just a sticker with the CD key on the back of the laptop.

    I installed Windows XP for personal reason and now I want to reinstall Windows Vista by using the HDD Recovery folder.
    Can I install or I should have done a DVD with Vista?

    Thank you

    Sorry, but now you are not able to install Vista with HARD drive recovery. HARD drive recovery can only be used on a system Windows Vista installed XP doesn t support this function.

    Your mistake was that you didn't burn the recovery disk with Vista Toshiba recovery disc creator, and now, you are not able to burn it.

    The only way to return Vista is the recovery disk, and now you have to order it on the site of Toshiba or an authorized service provider.

  • How Formatt Satellite A200 with recovery disk

    People...

    I need help.

    I currently own a Satellite A200 and I contain the recovery disc. I have 2 hard drives, 1 with vista, 1 with all the stuff not install as a music. I want to formatt the discs with the recovery disk. I formatted the C drive with vista before, but I don't remember how once again.

    I booted up the laptop with the recovery disk, eventually the mode of repair of the system... but what's the next step? I have to formatt and get the stuff to fabric settings.

    Please help me

    When you use recovery disk for the installation of operating system of the first HARD drive will be formatted completely. This means that all partitions and data will be gone. Second HARD drive can be formatted in Vista.

    So now install new OS by using recovery image.
    Start your laptop and press F12 will be bootable devices
    Place the recovery media in the optical disc drive
    In the list, select CD/DVD and press ENTER
    Follow the menu on the screen (for the most part, you must press button NEXT)

    When the facilities of the OS is finished and you can start Vista, type Windows Explorer (combination WIN + e. click with the right button of the mouse on the second HARD drive and select Format...

    All that s!
