Hello

_How to use the recovery disk? _
That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

_How to save files? _
First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

    How to use Recovery Disc Creator and what is the main function of Recovery Disc Creator?

    Hello

    I guess you didn't read the manual again because it explains quite well what is the recovery disk creator.

    However, this tool creates the Toshiba restore disk. This disc contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that the Windows operating system that is pre-installed with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It of easy to use (just boot from the disc), simply follow the instructions on the screen.

    For example, if you install another Windows or Windows peut t start you can use this disk to recover a system that works.

  • Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

    I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

    With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

    My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

    Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
    I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

    If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

    I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

    Thanks in advance,
    Yossi Beck

    Hey Yossi

    I think you have misunderstood something!

    You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

    Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

    So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
    This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

    Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

    but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
    That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

    Thanks much sally

    Hello!

    Looks like you have a strange virus on your laptop

    But I put t know why you don t want to do a complete reformat of the laptop. The point is that the Toshiba Recovery disk contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that you can restore t that only some files and you need to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system. To be honest, I think that it is in any case the best solution, because I think that the virus can only be deleted if you format the HARD drive using the Toshiba recovery disc.
    To use the only recovery disk, you must boot from it and follow the instructions on the screen. It of easy to use and only takes a few minutes.

    If you want to save some files before you begin reinstalling Windows, you can put the HARD drive into an external HARD drive enclosure. Then you can back up your data from another computer. I did it and I have had success with this and maybe you too. It s worth a try.

    And let me give you a little advice. After you have reinstalled Windows to use a good antivirus program and keep up-to-date. I have a good experience AntiVir (Freeware) and Kaspersky. In addition to activate the Windows Firewall or you use another firewall. Don t forget to install the latest Service Pack for your operating system and activate the Windows automatic update function. If you can get all of the updates in a timely.

    I hope I could help you, and now you understand the best deal.

  • Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

    So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

    But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello!

    The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

    The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
    But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

    The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

    Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    Hello

    It's really easy buddy.
    You must boot from the Toshiba recovery disc in order to start the recovery procedure.

    But note; the recovery disc formats the entire HARD drive. So if you have important data on your HARD drive and save it first.

  • HP Envy 700-216: how to use the files in my System Recovery folder on my desktop?

    I had to do a recovery of the system, due to damaged or corrupted Windows files. I backed up my files on 9 DVDs. System Recovery has restored the files in a folder on my desktop, but how do I use them?

    I'm mainly interested in restoring my data to my Quicken 2010 and possibly my 2015 AutoCad.

    You are welcome.

    The only answer I have for not being able to find the files is that they can not have been backed up.  Otherwise, they should be in the folder.  I have to be honest.  I did several laps, but never made a backup of my files.  I always keep my personal data, backups of Quicken, photos, etc. on the external USB hard drives.  If the data are very important to me, I have it on at least two disks.
