Satellite A300D - creating recovery disk problem

Hello.

I have Toshiba Satellite A300D-11 t (extended A300D-11) and I would like to create recovery disk. Problem is that I can't run the Toshiba Recovery disk creation tool. There is no shortcut in the start menu.
I tried to run Program Files.

Program itself exists (or at least I think it does), there are files in the Program Files folder, in "Programs and features" program is also so I could remove it.
Simply click on the file TosRDC.exe (or any other file *.exe in this case) and it does not start.

For memory - recovery partition exists and has not been changed.

System - Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
What should do?

Hello

I would say to pick up the machine from the disk and then, immediately after the machine, you should try to create a recovery disk. It could be that something in the meantime destroyed some piece of software in your operating system that could be the reason of this problem.

Maybe not a very elegant solution but the only one that works every time.

Welcome them

    The error that you declare, is a fault with the Vista disk image cannot be applied to the hard drive.

    Which you used 2 recovery discs of different product, which would indicate that there is not support for product recovery but a defective hard drive, possibly bad sectors on the hard disk.

    If the laptop is in it duration of warranty, then give Toshiba a call for the book on deposit for a repair of the equipment.

  • Satellite A40-151 recovery disk problem

    Hello

    I hope someone can help.

    I bascially bought this new laptop altogether earlier and until recently he works very well, but a few weeks ago the hard drive, I think that then, it happened to the extent where everything would load and then the pc would lock or it would freeze on the windows loading screen.

    Now, I did a little research and from what I could gather my HDD disappeared.

    I then bought a new hard drive for this the same exactually that I had same model, same brand etc and even same GB, which is 30 GB.

    I placed in the new hard drive and went to install windows xp on the recovery disks, but now I get a problem it starts and tries to install the os, but about 15% in the disc stops spining and I get an error 437 that the file cannot be run or something like that.

    I did something wrong? do I need to buy a whole new operating system? I hope someone can help

    Thank you for your time

    If you have purchased this Satellite as new and quite while ago why you pay money for new hardware? If one of the pieces of equipment is defective warranty will cover the costs of replacement.

    As far as I know that satellite A40 is old enough laptop model, and I guess that it takes more than two years. Anyway, if possible try to install the OS by CD Microsoft facilities to determine if the OS facilities can be completed. Maybe faulty recovery CD is (some scratches).

  • Satellite L300-147 recovery disk problem

    All words of advice, support, etc. greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    At first, I can say that this recovery disk cannot be used for repairs. You can only use it for the new operating system installation.
    Behavior described is certainly not OK and you should be able to see the menu with the language options listed.

    What you can do?
    I'm scared of m not big thing. BIOS setting to default and try several times to see if you're lucky and the installation of recovery will be properly implemented.
    For testing purposes, you can try to get the Microsoft installation disc and see if the installation of the operating system starts correctly.

  • Could not create Recovery DISK 2

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer laptop Toshiba Satellite M300/700 and tried to create recovery disks (4 DVD)
    I managed to create DVDs 1,3 & 4 with No Problem, but couldn't have created the DVD 2.
    I tried so many times and all failed after about 10 minutes of running, I've always had the same error messages like below:

    "The question has occurred when saving the data on the disk,
    the current pprocess will be stopped.

    Please check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
    If so, please try again with a new disc.

    I searched on Google for this problem, then it worked once I used a format r
    any reason that he worked not + R DVD (all brand TDK Gold).

    I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.

    What this means, is repeated defective program or is defective DVD writer?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I guess this can happen because of Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. I don't know where you bought this laptop but there is a difference between recovery systems in Europe, Australia or US, but presumably also Toshiba recovery disc creator is the same for all laptops Toshiba worldwide.

    So, if you created the recovery media using DVD-R blank, it's OK and take care of them. You can use them for the installation of Vista more far. To be honest, I use only on DVD-R media. Somehow, I do not like the format +.

    What you can do is to use a third party as Nero software and test if it works with the DVD + R/RW media.

    > I used several laptops has never had this type of problem.
    Sorry, but we are discussing about Toshiba recovery disc creator and this software is probably not available on all these laptops you ve had in the past. If you have noticed this problem with Toshiba tool it doesn't mean another burning application cannot handle with DVD + r/RW media.

    If please test and let us know how it works.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

    Hello, I have a question.

    I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

    No idea why the systems are different?

    It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

    Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

    I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
    + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

    This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
    The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.

    But now it s too late for that and you have to order a new Toshiba recovery disc yourself:

  • Re: Can I use the other Satellite U400 series recovery disk

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400 121. My recovery disk does not work may be due the scratches that I see in it. I took the laptop to the Toshiba Center service and I got a negative support of them. They said, they can't put the Windows Vista because the recovery disk is not there, and they have put Windows XP inside and handed to me.
    later I got to know that Windows Xp is not Geninue one. :|

    I can still see one of the Partition 'D:' with folder HDDRecovery inside.

    So can I use Recovery Disk of all PC model Toshiba laptop other than the Toshiba Satellite U400 121 recovery disk.

    In fact, I tried with the other model recovery disk, that at boot with this disk, Recovery Wizard starts up, but since I'm not sure about this one I stopped there and brought out.

    Please one of you let me know if you have valuable contributions on this.

    suggestions are welcome!

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I don't know Mr. which series Satellite U400-121, it is, but you must use the recovery disc designed specifically for this series of laptop!

    Another recovery disc cannot be used because the drivers and tools that have been implemented in the image of Toshiba are not designed for this series of laptop!

    By the way; You can order the CD from recovery from here:

  • Satellite A135-S4666 - recovery disk displays an error message

    The hard drive crashed while I replaced it. I am trying to use the recovery disk to take the computer to the "out of the box configuration.

    I chose to 'recover' rather than erase the hard drive based on this choice. Then it copies the files from the first disc and pushes me to the second. After putting the other continues to copy files. Finally, she moves more to 'recover now' she does and seems to be using the hard disk newly installed something between 35 and 50% of the task. At this point, I get an error message stating "error recovery" and invites me to press ok to shut down the computer and spits out the CD. The error message is coded 10-FC12-0002. I tried 4 or 5 times with the same result.

    Am I supposed to use disc erase first, and then use the recovery mode since it is a new hard drive? Or I have a defective recovery disc?

    Any comments or ideas would be greatly appreciated, I do not get the case at this stage.

    Hello

    It's not easy to tell if it s a recovery disk problem or if the new HARD drive is the problem. Have you tested a Microsoft disc for example? If the disc of Microsoft is, it seems that your recovery disc is noisy and needs to be replaced. Otherwise the new drive HARD cause this problem.

    Check this box to determine the cause of this problem!

  • Satellite L505-141 - recovery disk contains Windows 7 32 bit

    Hello

    I bought my computer in the year around March last. I had with laptop computer operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Lately I think the format of my laptop using the recovery CD that I have receviced with the laptop. I don't know why, but the recovery CD Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit! Why its not 64-bit and 32-bit?

    The laptop comes with 6 GB of Ram and Core i5 and I won't enjoy my laptop with 32-bit operating system. Is this normal? I was suppose to get the 32-bit operating system (really wired if you a laptop with 6 GB of memory). This really makes me feel angry. I feel that I have been cheated.

    If ts the company I bought the laptop in and not the fault of Toshiba, I ask and investigation or something like that since they really make a bad name for you guys.

    Please answer me as soon as possible.

    TNX,
    Andrei Braunstein.

    Hello

    Before you wrote things that are not correct, please first check the specs on the Web from Toshiba site and take a look at your * user manual *!

    The laptop comes with a recovery disk which is Windows 7 32 bit, so everything is ok with this disc and you got the right pair.

    The interesting point is that the recovery disc for Windows 7 64-bit, you must create yourself such as mentioned in * user manual *! You can create this disk preinstalled use Toshiba recovery media creator. You need blank DVDs to create discs and that s all. After that do what you can to restore the preinstalled Windows 7 64 bit every time when you want to.

    Now it s too late to do that, but you can order a recovery disc here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    I can understand you he would do better to use Windows 64 bit on a laptop with 6 GB of RAM but don t forget some old don t on 64-bit applications and 32 bit necessary.

  • Failed to create recovery disk

    Hello!

    I apologize in advance for my English.

    After a year of perfect operation, I decided to completely restore my system (Windows Vista Home, HDX 18 Premium, 64-bit) using the hidden partition. Everything was fine.

    A week ago, my PC didn't start because he does not recognize the hard drive: no operating system found. No partition has been found, even the hidden (in my system is E).

    I tried to reset the BIOS and I was right: the booted system, performed all necessary diagnostics and load Windows.

    So, I decided to create a recovery disk to restore the system, even if no partition is found.

    But I have been unable to create recovery disks because the Recovery Manager utility froze, did not write any DVD, and after three hours, I had to turn off the PC, because nothing happened.

    My creation of recovery disks is slightly different from the pictures I've seen in many forums: instead of asking what kind of media, I would like to use (DVD, CD) and how many of them is needed, it simply shows a green bar: writing files, from 0% to 100%. When he arrived at 100%, it froze and nothing happened.

    Now I can not create a new set of disk (the program starts, but its window disappears immediately), even if the PC is running and I could (probably) restore the system using the hidden partition.

    Now:

    (1) are useful recovery disks if the hard drive is not recognized at all?

    (2) since it is possible to create a set of disks only, the failure of the attempt account?

    Thank you!

    You are welcome. Be sure to also follow the Macrium prompt to create a bootable cd. Label it as Macrium rescue and set aside to care for the child. Then whenever you need to restore your laptop to your Image backups, just boot with the cd and it guides you through it. Works even if Windows is too damaged to start.

  • Satellite A300D - create a recovery disk

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba A300D. Recently, I installed the version BETA of Windows 7, wiping my installation of Windows Vista on my laptop, now I don't want Windows 7 more and wants to return to Vista. I still have the recovery partition in drive D, but I don't know how to be: create a recovery from this disk or restore using this straight from the trunk. I tried pressing F11 at the Toshiba flash at startup screen, and who just go to a screen that says "Windows could not start...". "etc, I also tried to go to the Multiboot menu and selecting HDD2, and who does not work either.

    So can someone tell me how I can restore back to Windows Vista, I'm not taken worth losing data as I alll backed up on an external hard drive.
    Where can I get the Toshiva Recovery Disc Creator software anywhere?

    Hello

    He's a bad friend... usually it is not possible to restore the laptop on the factory (in the image of Toshiba) settings if you have removed the Vista HARD drive and not create the recovery disk...

    The recovery disk is THIS essential disk and must be created at the beginning!

    But maybe you're a lucky guy...
    I found this thread with a nice tutorial posted by forum user.
