Hello

I don't think anyone can tell you with certainty what recovery DVDs belongs to a specific model laptop maybe authorized service provider in your country. They should have access to the database of Toshiba and maybe they can identify it.

  • 2 years by Satellite L300 has started playing up - recovery disc question

    Hello world

    I ve created the Toshiba Recovery Disc (s) and think I need to use it now. My Satellite L300-1AQtaking AGES to load when I turn on, it sometimes crashes for no apparent reason (it tells me memory is OK, so not a problem of RAM) and because of the other weird inconveniences.

    Should I use the recovery disks do, you think? Is it simple? It does not give to-step instructions please? Operating system is Vista.

    Thank you very much

    Yes, you must use recovery discs and make clean OS install. After 2 years of use, I think that the operating system needs to be updated.

    After the own OS, you will see that laptop will work a lot better than before.
    Please also optimize OS: remove all the unnecessary stuff from the system and configure the Windows startup. This will make the start much more quickly.

  • Satellite L300 - recovery disc stops

    Hello

    I desperately need help, hope someone can help me here.
    On startup, computer laptop, one day, I got the dreaded ERROR LOADING OPERATING SYSTEM.

    So I bought a store media recovery disk for my laptop.

    Now, I tried all F8 stuff, but it does not work for some reason any on this laptop.

    Anyway, disk arrived and did exactly what it said on the back:
    Insert the disc and powerdown machine
    Press F12 at startup to the top, and then select the optical drive.

    Now when he turns back, download the FILES from LOADING of WINDOWS IS.
    Then, MICROSOFT CORPORATION (with the bar above it), once this happens a few seconds the CD/DVD drive stops and then get a black screen.

    It is not to go further than that.
    Tried to restart the laptop without a disc in and all that is to come, then is
    DISK-READ ERROR OCCURRED
    Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart

    What should I do?
    Can I get in on the Media store and tell them that the disc does not work? If Yes, what is their email address?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    In my opinion it's really hard to say what the reason for this. It could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive or HARD drive.
    So have you tested a Microsoft installation disc? You can try with a disc XP or Microsoft Vista. If you booted from it tries to format the HARD drive. Sometimes it of necessary to format the HARD drive before you can use the Toshiba recovery disc. On this way, you can also test if your CD/DVD drive does not work.

    If the Microsoft disk does not work also, could be a problem with the HARD drive. You can check the HARD drive with a Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. Google is your friend to find ;)

    Good luck and if you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Satellite M100 - recovery disc reboot after loading ramdisk image

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite M100 (bought mid-2006), 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, Intel CPU T2050.

    I decided to have a cleaning and use the restore disc to return the laptop to factory settings, and then reinstall only what I really wanted.
    I had this done yesterday, I had forgotten something, then he ran again about 4 hours later.
    The first time that the restore worked, now it reboots once the progress bar reaches full when he says "Loading RAMDISK Image".
    After the progress bar reaches full, the mouse pointer appears for a few seconds then restart the computer.

    Nothing has changed with the hardware or BIOS, and what is on the HD should not have any effect because I am booting from the DVD.
    Can someone please help? I am at a loss to explain what happened in this interval of 4 hours.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I put t know which causes the problem too because I m not an expert, but sometimes I can read in the forum, you must delete all partitions before using the recovery disk.
    You can do this with the Microsoft disk for example. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. After that, restart and try to use the recovery disc.

    I put t know if it helps but you can give us feedback. :)

    Good bye

  • Simple recovery disc question

    When is it best to make the recovery discs before or after I recorded my laptop and why?

    It is not important to you to do the recovery before or after regstering your laptop.  What is important is to save your laptop computer to activate the warranty.

    I highly recommend that you create a USB key recovery instead of a set of recovery disks. All it takes is a simple scratch to make the drive to retrieve the useless value. A Flash Media Player in recovery, on the other hand, is durable and runs a lot faster that the recovery DVDs are capable of making Collections.  Be sure that you choose a flash drive that is not labeled certified for Windows 8 (or 8.1). Flashdrives of SanDisk are generally known to be incompatible with the HP recovery media creator. None of the HP Experts have had success with them, including me.

  • Satellite A60 - recovery disc won't start plus-disque no bootable error

    Hello

    I set the boot sequence to boot from the cd, but the message reads: no bootable disk.

    I tried to open it with ghost, but looking for a password.

    Toshiba Satellite A60.

    Hello

    First you will not be able to extract the ghost image file because it s set as you could see.

    I put t know why you can't boot from the recovery CD Toshiba. But reasons could be:
    -The CD is defective (zero, not more readable)
    -You used a bad CD
    -The CD/DVD drive can not handle this CD because of the lens of the laser drive old and faulty.

    Then you should check first if you can start on other Microsoft Windows CD to see if the CD/DVD drive is ok.
    If it is ok, then there is a problem with your CD!

  • Aspire 5742 recovery disc question

    This is a long post.  I went through a lot of steps already.  I'm not an expert in technology, but I read directions well (most of the time), and my knowledge comes from working through the problems as they come.  I use a newer laptop to make different drives and disks.

    I have an Acer Aspire 5742 Windows 7 hp 08. I had a few deep-rooted malware and decided to do a system restore. The system restore worked and the first thing I did was last updated from windows. There were 192 updates and it took a few hours for them to download and install. After the restart, while it was down to the 5 latest updates to install, a message appeared on the screen, indicating that updates failed, and all of the updates would return. Eight hours later nothing had changed. The screen looked exactly the same. I don't know if I did the wrong thing, but I assumed that the restoration was in an infinite loop and made a decision to perform recovery with my Acer OEM drives.

    There is a system disk and the value of three with the Acer recovery disks. I don't know if all the recovery disks work exactly the same but in case they are not, I will include the information which has come to the screen. After the system disk is inserted and that windows support files, the options in this box Acer Recovery Management are-

    Restore OS - OS restore to default factory default status. All the data on the C: drive will be deleted. (It was the option that I tried to use)
    Restore the operating system and to keep the data of the user - only restore the operating system of your PC to the factory default. Your user account files will be transferred to C:\backup. This option does not remove the malware. (When I tried this: no user data were found on your computer)
    Fully restore computer to factory settings - restore your computer back to the factory default state. All data in the hidden partition and the system partition will be restored. Before restoring, please delete all data on the hard drive (when I tried this: Please delete all files from your hard drive before you start.) This function will not work if there is no file on the hard disk.)

    So by clicking on option 1, there's the box in the view of what is happening. The area becomes "restore the Destination."
    The hard drive name: ST500LM000 - 1EJ162 ATA device
    Partition label: Acer
    Size 8.0 GB partition
    Copy of disk files.
    Please insert the restore disc 1.
    Copy of disk files
    Insert disk 2.
    Copy of disk files
    Insert disk 3 (it is 80% complete)
    Copy of disk files.

    Shortly after that the disk turns on a message box appears saying "There are not enough disk space for the temporary files needed for this operation"

    Press Ok. Wait a minute please. Acer boot screen then back "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete.
    Pressing C + A + earrings back to the boot screen Acer and return to "BOOTMGR, etc.".
     
    The original crapped out drive and I replaced it with a hybrid 500 GB drive.  I have partitioned the hard drive for the upgrade of windows 8, which was offered when I bought the laptop.  I rarely used it, and it remained a 20 GB partition.  Think that the partition might be the problem I downloaded the portable computer Wizard mini partition my new tool and copied the files to a CD, a DVD and a flash drive.  All contained errors. Failure of the Conference on disarmament.  I tried another, he sounded like he was going to start and then returned to the screen BOOTMGR.  I pulled out a blank dvd, copied the file .iso from the score to it. The message on the screen: drive hard virtual cannot be mounted from image files or from removable media that is not formatted with the NTFS file.

    I dug around and eventually find my flash drives. The flash player has a default FAT32 and I changed to NTFS (based on the above message) and formatted. I copied the file to the partition.  The message on the screen: a BONE was not found. Try disconnecting all drives that do not contain a BONE.  I made in all attempts above that I changed the boot order in the bios.

    I tried another flash drive and kept the default FAT32.  It would sound like he was trying to start then:
    PX - E61 Media test failure. Check the cable of
    Output of MOF broadcom PXE

    What I am doing wrong?  What can I do to correct this player so that it be cleaned?

    I forgot that I had an external enclosure for a hard drive, so I took out the hard drive for Acer and it subservient to my new laptop. I bought it when the original Acer hard drive became corrupt to try to look at the files. Here I am trying to understand the hard and a less complicated solution (for me) was at hand.  Of course, he had 4 partitions with only 8 GB for the Acer.  Don't know how it happened.  I am planning to wipe the disk completely and using the disks from Acer to start all over again.

    Please accept my sincere thanks for taking the time to help me.  I learn something new every time I have to correct a problem and without the help of message boards I would be screwed.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

    Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

    It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

    FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
    I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
    I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
    I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
    I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
    I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
    I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you.

    Hi Lapitup,

    Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

    If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

    In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

    I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

    So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

    Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

    Hi Snen,

    It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    And what kind of DVD that you use to create a recovery disk? I have good experience with the types of DVD - R and I use Verbatim.

  • Satellite L350 - Question about recovery disc creation

    Help, please.

    I read in the manual for my new lap top before setting up and feel rather nervous.

    The seller said that he had to open automatically when I start it, and all I had to do to install the printer and my word m/s (for example) program and I would be in place and running.

    But it seems that I should first do some recovery disks.
    How many disks is necessary? DVD no doubt - or D/L.?
    The recovery discs are possible after other programs installed?

    Secondly, he mentioned the manual online. Where can I find it?
    I have a scanner and a Seagate external hard drive, but these can be added later.
    I use the laptop as a desktop replacement for my old Mesh PC of five years.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, it is very important to create the recovery disk before you change anything on your HARD drive laptops.
    When you have completed the installation of Vista, you must start the application called recovery Toshiba disc Creator.
    This application will help you create the recovery disk.

    As I m not wrong not you would need a DVD. I recommend using a DVD-R.

    Notes; in some cases, you might get an error burning the recovery DVDs. This may happen because not all drives are fully compatible. So if you get this error please check different DVD from different manufacturers

    Good bye

  • Recovery Disc Creator Error - Satellite A300-1GN

    First of all, sorry for my English, but it is not my mother tongue. On my problrm, short and simple technique:
    I use Toshiba Satellite A300-1GN with Vista 32 bit. I tried to create a recovery using Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator disc.

    I inserted a new DVD disc in the DVD burner and program was working fine but suddenly that he will miss just give an error with something like that 'there was an error in the calibration of reinforcement sector. "Error code: 0E01B5-26-00037304"

    What's wrong?

    What should I do to create the disc of tha? I can only add, that I turned my system of any virus just as it was said in manual Toshiba, but it did not help.

    Pleas, help.

    Hello

    I agree with the codes for the TDKs are not bad and I had a very good experience with these media.
    I tried to burn the recovery disk using another brand and I've damaged 3 DVD + R discs
    Then I went to the TDK DVD - R and it is ok

    I think that questions is related to the question of the compatibility between the discs and the STRANGE...
    So it of really worth to test different media!

    Good luck

  • No recovery disc supplied with my Satellite P300

    I recently bought a new laptop from Toshiba, Satellite P300. It has Vista installed out of the box, but there is no recovery media supplied with the package. I'm afraid that if something can go wrong in the future, I will not be able to repair my operating system.

    Two questions:
    (1) is this normal that there is no restore disk provided with the Satellite P300? In other words, other customers who bought the same laptop doesn't have that either. Or is it an exception and an error in my local provider. In the manual on the "included in this package" list is any mention of a recovery disc supplied with the package.

    (2) can I get a Toshiba Recovery disk if something is wrong?

    Hello

    > Is it normal that there is no restore disk provided with the Satellite P300?
    Yes, because the laptop was equipped with HARD drive recovery option that allows to recover the laptop from the HARD drive.

    > Can I get a Toshiba Recovery disk if something is wrong?
    There are some pre-installed Toshiba Recovery disc creator software.
    This software creates a Toshiba Recovery DVD. I think that this info was published in the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop.

    So, I strongly recommend reading the user manual and to create this DVD of recovery before you change anything on the laptop.

    Cheers mate
