• Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

  I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

  Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

  Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

  In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

  Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

  I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

  I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

  My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

  What would you recommend I do?
  My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

  Hey,.

  Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

  I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

  So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite L500-1ZC - cannot start HARD drive recovery menu

  I need to access the option "Get back to the default software factory with the data of the user", but I have problems at this stage.

  I tried power + 0 with no luck, even with the power + f12.
  When the boot menu appears, HDD Recovery is not there as an option to select.

  I need the exact option above but I have no idea how to get it. I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  So far I have got up to the screen which warns of an unpacking of the partition system image but don't want to go any further in case this option is not there.

  Can anyone help? :/

  I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  Toshiba HDD recovery redefines the laptop to factory settings! This means that your system partition will be deleted and you will get the same State HARD disc as on the first day of purchase.

  Therefore, you must save the date before you run the recovery process.

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:

• Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

  Hello

  You are still able to access the start menu in Windows or Ubuntu installation has been removed and the Windows boot loader?
  If so, you are not able to start the HARD drive recovery more

  Why? It is very easy: even if you are able to access the files, you can start this feature because the original Windows Start menu of the preinstalled Windows system is necessary to start the HARD drive recovery feature.
  So in this case, you need the recovery media (USB key) that you created using Toshiba recovery media creator.

  Of course, this could work without installed Windows, but there is no guarantee for this.

  But why I m telling you this information? You can find everything in your owner's manual ;)

• Satellite L350D-21 problems using new HARD drive recovery recovery disks

  Hello

  I have laptop SATELLITE L350D-212 with windows 7 Home premium OA.
  He started to complain that there is something wrong with the hard drive so I went and bought another hard drive of the same size.

  I created the recovery disk when the computer was purchased and have backup of all the data in an external hard drive.

  After I changed the new hard drive to the laptop and tried to boot from the recovery disc, nothing happens eventhoug I can see it seems to be all Ok with the disc.

  Any ideas on how to get to run to the new hard drive recovery?

  I have the old hard drive attached as external drive via the USB port, but cannot boot from that too. It just stops at a certain point and told to stop.

  Hello

  Usually, the recovery disk must format the new HARD drive but I recommend you to join the new HARD drive as an external device to another computer and format the new HARD drive before trying to recover the laptop.

  Once the HARD drive has been formatted, connect it to the L350D and boot from the recovery disc

  Good luck

• Satellite L650-11F - how to access HARD drive recovery?

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

  The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

  Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

• Satellite L350D - 213 Desktop gel after HARD drive recovery

  Hello

  I'm trying to help a damsel in distress. Its Satellite L350D-213 would not start. Although I could boot mode safe, that's all I could do. I tried to save all its data, but could not do it anymore. I did a HARD drive recovery and everything seems OK until I started as usual, but when I tried to open programs and they did not open. Finally, I called for a Shut Down. It took more than 10 minutes.

  I restarted in Mode safe mode and tried to open the pre installed on the desktop programs and there seems to be no problem. Closing together took 13 seconds.

  Tried rebooting as normal and the same problem occurred.

  I just feel that one of the system files is corrupted. More likely I'm wrong, so is there anyone out there that can advise?

  Thank you

  Stokkers

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. The programs that you try to start?
  Corrupted files? I don t think so. You have installed the own recovery image and if there is a corrupted file even should arrive as soon as the first day.

  Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings, set the default value and reinstall the recovery image.
  Configure Windows and wait for the operating system to start successfully. Don t connect the laptop to the internet and check again. Don t connect some external devices.
  What you can try is to open the Task Manager and see if there is a background activity which needs a lot of CPU usage. You can try to stop it.
  You can try to disable some applications at startup.

  Play a little with it.
  There must be a logical explanation why this happens.

• Re: Tecra M10 - 10Z - cannot find HARD drive recovery

  After almost three years of use, I decided to re - install the operating system, because the M10 became very slow.
  Now, there's no disc provided (OS is W7 pro 32-bit)... so I did the procedure of F8 startup... but the list of the checkout (after you have entered "repaor PC) ends with"(execute with prompt): no HARD drive recovery! "

  The operating system is absolutely original. The only thing I did was to add a partition to store all my data.
  Can someone help me understand the situation? I'm the only user if my account is 'administrator' t.
  In addition, I do not see the special partition in 'my computer' (never seen) I only have C and E (E is the one I created)...
  Thank you much for the help!

  I don t have this Tecra and cannot say for sure what the problem is here, but it turns out that Toshiba offers an OS preinstalled with recorded on the second partition in the file called HDDRecovery recovery image. On some machines, this recovery image is saved on partition small and invisible.
  Everything will be OK until the user changes the structure of the partitions or delete the recorded recovery image.

  To avoid this Toshiba recommends creating DVDs which can be used if the user has the situation that your recovery. It would be much better when you have this drive now. I put t know why you didn't create this DVD.

  In any case, I assume that the recovery image cannot be found because of the structure of the changed partitions or maybe you did anything in the past that have deleted the recovery image.

  Now, all you can do is to install OS own version or one order new recovery image. It can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Hello

  And what exactly is happening now? You have a black screen?

  To me that sounds like it, something goes wrong in the installation of HARD drive recovery then I recommend reinstall Windows again since the middle of recovery that you created on USB or external CD/DVD drive. This can restore Windows again.

  Theoretically, it could also be a hardware problem but I would try the middle of recovery recovery facility that s my personal opinion. ;)

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• Satellite Pro A10 won't start HARD drive

  The laptop, I cannot change the boot order to select CD-Rom so that I can try the recovery disks. I can't get into the BIOS, but the Boot Priority option is not selectable.

  Any help appreciated.

  Especially this error message appears because the Middle starts not able.

  Try this: connect the computer laptop HARD drive to a USB adapter and try to format the whole HARD drive.
  Then put it in the laptop, insert the bootable CD and try to boot from the drive.
  As mentioned you could press the C button immediately after you start the laptop

• Can satellite A300 - 1 5 - I change HARD drive?

  Hi everyone;

  I have this laptop: [Toshiba Satallite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]. It has the standard specification, no upgrade.

  I thought if it is possible to move the disk from its housing (which on the left side of the laptop) on the side right from your cell phone, because my model can have 2 separate HARD drive. This idea came to my mind because that the CPU (cooling module) is actually on the left side, but also the HDD. As everyone knows, CPU generate much of the heat from the laptop, so I thought that I can reduce the heat by moving the HARD disk to the right (where its only contains the DVD player). A matter of fact, the left side of the laptop is always hotter than the right side.

  Yes, is there any body agree on that? The HARD drive fits on the right side? If so, can u people help me on how I can move the HARD drive on the right side?

  Thanks in advance...

  I think that means shipped such a HARD drive chassis:
  [Portable HARD drive chassis | http://supcontent.gateway.com/support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/2007/Tempest/Graphics/Tempest_HDD_BUMPERS_02.JPG]

  I recommend you check out it for yourself. Throw in the two slots in the HARD disk and then you should see the difference.
  HARD drive cover is normally set by one or two live only, so you can check it in a few minutes.
