• Satellite T130 - how to start HARD drive recovery?

  Hello

  Windows 7 was not working properly and I tried to reinstall. However, after the installation, it starts but it does not complete the process and maintains the pc shut down before I could use it. I can now use it just because I installed Ubuntu and I can also access all other partitions of Ubuntu, one that contains the HDD Recovery folder.

  Can I reinstall windows from this folder?

  I see that someone else already managed, using stormwater management files as the link below shows

  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 ;)

• Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

  I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

  > I formatted my PC and install XP

  No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

  So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

• 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 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.

  So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

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

• Satellite L655-1HE «Problem of HARD drive recovery»

  Hello

  I have the Satellite L655-1HE. I created a "HARD drive recovery" through "create recovery media. On the contrary, CD/DVD, I put it in a USB Flash drive. But when I used it, a mistake was "copy of splitpart or the Canadian Red Cross has failed!" After that, I can't boot my laptop more. There is a message "BOOTMNGR missing." I think I already deleted the operating system in the player. Please help me. How can I fix?

  Whatever the problem, if the recovery is unsuccessful, I recommend the following steps:

  -buy a set of recovery-store to the wire to https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu
  -If you did, and even this game fails to install, take care to check your HARD disk for problems.

• 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 A300 - 21 H - cannot start HARD drive recovery

  My daughter dropped the laptop. Now, I get a blue screen that says I need to press F8 to start the recovery process. But when I press F8 nothing happens... Any ideas? I would really appreciate any comments.

  > My daughter dropped the phone. Now, I get a blue screen that says I need to press F8 to start the recovery process. But when I > press F8 nothing happens.

  According to me, that there is still something wrong with the hard drive after release. You can enter the Bios (f2 at startup) to check if the hard drive recognized. You can see on the main page or startup option.

• Re: Satellite A300/U01 - failure of HARD drive?

  I tried to start my A300/U01 this morning and nothing happened after the noise/power/keyboard illuminated lights.

  I tried again and this time, the BIOS screen is appeared, but nothing later. The HD light never informed. I hear the ticking of the light in the machine, but nothing as if the HD was running fine.

  (1) that indicate a mechanical failure of the hard drive?
  (2) if so I lost all data on this drive?

  I have only a single folder, I care; Unfortunately, I've been lax in my backup.

  > 1) is - that this Signals a mechanical hard drive failure?
  N ° access to the BIOS (press F2) and check if the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS. If it s are not not in the BIOS, this means that the HARD disk is dead.

  (> 2) if so I lose all the data on this drive?
  Well, if the HARD drive was dying then you would lose data also, but first it of necessary to know if the HARD drive is really dead. For this check point 1.

• Satellite C872D - lack area of HARD drive recovery

  Hello

  When I want to Toshiba Recovery Media Creator allows you to create recovery DVDs I have an error message:

  No HDD Recovery area! Toshiba Recovery cannot be enabled.
  What should I do?

  That's big problem now.
  Generally each laptop comes with preinstalled operating system contains the original recovery saved on the HARD disk image.

  For some reason any pre-installed recovery disc creator Toshiba cannot find and access the recovery image. I don't know why this is happening on your laptop, but it can happen if the recovery image is deleted, moved to another location or structure partitions of HARD drive has been changed.

  What can you do now? Nothing. All you can do now is to order the original restore disc and use it to install the original image of recovery designed for your laptop model.

  You can order on - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

• Satellite A300 - install the secondary hard drive

  Hi all

  I'm new to the forum.

  I was thinking about adding a second hard drive of my laptop.
  I saw that there is a single disc and a space for a second

  Is this possible? If so, what drive would be worth?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion this is not possible.
  To me, it seems that there is no second connector and to the 2nd HARD drive controller.
  There is a second HARD-drive bay because there are different models A300 with a different hardware configuration and motherboards, but the same top and bottom covers, so there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay even if the connectors are not available.
