  Hello

  You can burn and create the own Vista recovery DVDs using Toshiba recovery disc creator software.
  It s preinstalled on your laptop.

  Please check the desktop shortcuts or folder on the C:\ Program Files

  The Toshiba recovery disc creator will burn the image of Toshiba.
  I also recommend the use of DVD-R discs, some people have an error message when burning because of DVD disc is not compatible.

  It looks like the master boot record was for damage caused by the departure of the HARD drive recovery procedure.
  I think you can get the laptop works only by using the procedure of recovery of HARD drive again.
  You must press F8 after turning on laptop. Then choose fix my computer, then choose recovery Toshiba.

  I hope it will work
  By the way; Why you didn t create a recovery disk? It is strongly recommended in case something goes wrong with your HARD drive.

• Satellite L500-F19 is started due to failed HARD drive recovery process

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-F19 and recently started having a bad performance in the GUI, and also began to close on its own.

  To try to solve the problem, I used the sistem of HARD drive recovery by pressing F8 in the boothing process.
  What is happening is that this process is not and and now my laptop does not even start!
  What can I do?

  I have a windows repair disc, but it was made only a few days ago and this pc is in my possetion for 3 years now.
  Is there a way I can recover my sistem in the original?

  Thank you
  João

  Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

  Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

• Satellite P300 - 20 H - what should I do after HARD drive recovery?

  Hello

  I just picked up my Satellite P300 - 20 H, using HARD drive recovery,

  Any ideas as to what I should do now? Laptop backed up, HDD Recovery wiped and returned the laptop to factory default. What should I do now? I never wiped a laptop or a PC before. I did the restore via the HARD disk and all came back when I got the laptop almost 2 years ago but now I have 108 updates to windows, and my Toshiba Tempro does not work.
  I have to update all the drivers on the laptop and if so, how do I know what needs to be updated and how can I do this?

  I went to the Toshiba site and he gave me a list of the drivers available for my particular model but I am not sure how much of these driver updates, I need to actually download and update.

  If someone could help me it would be really appreciated.
  I would be delighted if someone could just explain to me, because I don't know anything about pc / laptop and just want my laptop back to power. So that everything works correctly. I read in the section of the conductors, on toshiba.com that not all windows service packs must be downloaded not all work along the coast Toshiba laptops. So im stuck if I have to download and install updates Windows 108 that are required to be installed also.

  Hope someone can help out me.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey,.

  I m wondering about your question: it seems that you have made the recovery of HARD drive but you didn t know what HDD recovery not right?
  As you have noticed, it will restore your computer back to factory settings. You have the same settings that you have purchased. It is therefore useful if Windows doesn t start more or you want to reinstall Windows.

  You can use your laptop as before: there is no difference. All Windows updates should be installed, that's very important because they are security updates day and you help protect your computer. So, start Windows updates and follow the installation.

  Site Web de Toshiba driver updates aren't important, only when you notice problems. If this isn't the case, you can forget the driver updates. ;)

• Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

  I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

  The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

  If this is true, how should I do?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
  The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

  But back to your question;
  If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
  The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

  If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

  I hope I could help

  Good bye

• When I run Firefox using Yahoo as homepage the hard drive running constantly. What is going on?

  The hard drive is acting like I run a virus scan or software is responsible. It does not stop. I ran scans - nothing works. If I run Google or IE it happens.

  You remember disabling all willing associate JavaScript using the extension of QuickJS? If so, you can see the question if their re-allowing help with Yahoo.

  I notice you have some Yahoo related plugins. From 33 Firefox, less common plugins have been passed to "Ask to activate" so sites need your permission to use them. This can be confusing to Yahoo.

  To test this theory, you can try to move these plugins on one of the other options:

     Always Activate - all sites can use the plugin without specific permission
     Never Activate - no sites can use the plugin (unless you give them permission through the Permissions page of the Page Info dialog while viewing the site)
  

  To make this change to open the page modules using either:

     Ctrl+Shift+a
     "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
  

  In the left column, click on Plugins. I suggest trying to "never activate" first. During the visit of Yahoo mail once again to test, you can use Ctrl + Shift + r to reload the fresh site from the server (without using cached files

• Satellite Pro P100 PSPAHE: How can I replace the HARD drive

  How can I physically remove the disk?
  And my Device Manager indicates that the drive is a Fujtsu MHV2200BT PL ATA. What, PL, sounds like parallel - I thought it was a SATA drive.

  Hello

  This laptop was equipped certainly SATA HDD :)
  If you want to upgrade to a larger HARD drive and a SATA HDD is right!

  The slot in the HARD drive seems to be placed at the bottom of the unit near the edge of the laptop.
  To remove the disc HARD turn the computer upside down.
  Loosen the 2 screws and remove the cover of the HARD drive during the liberation of the locks.
  Remove the HARD drive cable connector HARD drive. Be sure to not reach
  damage to the connector. Place the mounting of the HARD drive on a flat surface and remove the 4 screws.
  Then drive HARD is free one may be replaced by a new one.

• Satellite P200-1EE Possible to recover data on the HARD drive by placing it in an envelope?

  P200-1EE does not start after 2 weeks off is the case during a fan installation. Is it possible to remove the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and retrieve the data it contains on another PC? Or can anyone recommend how to recover data from the comfort of my own home?

  Thanks for your help

  I would say that your installation of fan caused this problem in the first place. I would check your installation for loose connectors, cards not seated properly, no fan or heatsinks screws tight etc..

  Everything you did everything by installing the new fan plugged the laptop. The hard disk, in my opinion, is perfectly fine. There is nothing wrong with it.

  Put the suspect hard drive in an enclosed and try to access the data on another PC. You will encounter problems with administrator access to certain folders so you will need to find a way to crack in these areas.

  If you had problems in the first place you probably should have this return to the place of purchase for them to watch.

  I hope that for your sake you have not turned into a frisbee.

  Good luck.

• Satellite 2450-201: cannot use TV option after the new installation of the OS

  Hello

  Hello

  How do you reinstall the operating system? Have you used the recovery CD?
  Usually after the reinstallation of the operating system from the recovery CD, everything should work properly.
  It is important that you can switch to the TV. In this case, you can use FN + F5.
  If it's not working so I guess that for display devices hotkey utility works or was not installed. Well, the alternative is to pass on the TV via the graphic properties. The TV option, you should find somewhere in the advanced options.

  However, check it and check if you have installed all the drivers.

  There should be a second HARD drive Bay.
  If the second HARD drive bay contains the pins of the connector HDD/then you could add a second HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  If the connector is not available, then the second HDD is not possible.

• Re: Satellite C660/C660D will using clear data on the D partition recovery?

  Therefore data on D safe if I use the recovery?

  Thank you

  Hello

  My knowledge using Recovery Disk format the entire HARD drive and all the partitions would be created again during this process.
  This means that your data on the D partition are not safe.

  But after my experience, retrieve the use of the HARD disk format only the partition system (C) not very well that if this applies to all laptops Toshiba so maybe you should test this first time in such a case would recommend backup data if partition D should be deleted.
