Satellite A500 - factory restore

• Satellite A660 Factory Restore problems

  I have a Satellite A660 Ref. PSAW3A-14V062 delivered pre-installed with Win 7 not provided, but a hidden partition with disk recovery files.

  Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors. Removed the HD and connected to another computer.

  Using Acronis Disk Director, I copied the hidden partition (HDDRECOVERY) to another drive and then formatted the drive and copied the partition hidden in it and reinstalled to the laptop.
  Downloaded an ISO image and tried to install it from DVD but received the message that windows cannot be installed on the HARD disk that the drive is about to fail.

  Bought new HARD drive and copied the partition hidden for her.
  I then tried to install from the DVD, but kept getting errors about unable to find files, after ISO more several downloads and burn 5 different DVD the furthest I got was the screen where it is "files", this remains at 0% and nothing else.

  I then tried a factory restore using the "hold 0 during startup", but when I took out the key pressed 0 when the Toshiba start screen showed that nothing happened.

  There was a small Partition 'System' on the original HARD drive I have has not copied. I have a few questions.

  (1) the "System" partition did not the files needed to start the factory restore and if so is there anywhere I can download these files?

  (2) probably a topic for another thread, but no clue as to why I have so many problems with ISO files.

  Cheers and sorry for the long-winded explanation.

  The installation of any recovery is quite complicated. It is designed to avoid a kind of manipulation so original recovery image can be installed either using recovery DVDs or HARD disk recovery facility which must be created with Toshiba recovery disc creator tool.

  To be honest, the whole story is complicated enough, but what confuses me, is
  > Decided to do a restore to factory from scratch but ends of disk errors
  If I understand you right, you have created a drive recovery, right? What exactly happens?
  You can use this drive with new HARD drive?

  This method with files recovery to cope with the new HARD drive does not work. You will not be able to access and begin HARD recovery disk image installation.

  If you have a new HDD only how to install the original Toshiba recovery image is to use the recovery DVD disc.

  I installed windows 7 pro on my laptop which made my longer laptop for start and stop time down and little slow. now I just want to go back to the factory restore, how can I do this. the pre-installed recovery partition is not show in "my computer".

  Thank you very much

  You cannot start after installation of operating system HARD drive recovery clean facility more.
  You can do this via recovery DVD only.

  Did you create this disc by following the advice of Toshibas rappelling recovery or document s user manual?

  If you have this drive please use it for recovery image installation. If you n t have it you have a big problem today.

• Satellite A500 - system restore problem

  Hello

  Recently I replaced the HARD drive in my A500 1 2 with WD5000BPKT with Advanced Format. When I try to restore the system of system restore Toshiba dvd I created, restart the computer after the installation of recovery and error message gives:

  File: \windows\system32\DRIVERS\LPCFilter.sys
  Status: 0xc0000428
  WIndows cannot verify the Digital Signature of the driver.

  Boot Manager Windows "screen" always comes to the top and Windows does not start.
  1. ask a windows installation disk-thought, it was given to Toshiba Recovery DVD I burned.
  2 Chosse language settings - click next
  3. click on "repair your computer."

  How to restore my system?

  Hello

  To be honest, it's the first time I see this error message.
  Are you sure that the new HARD drive is OK?
  Maybe installation issues concern the new installed HARD drive?

  It would also be possible that your recovery DVDs was not created properly
  Who knows that anything is possible

  In your case, I recommend to check the HARD drive first. The test of HARD disk drive is an excellent tool. Select this check box. Its freeware

  If the tool would not detect any errors, then you should try to install a Windows operating system by using a different disk, you can also order a new disc of recovery from here:

• Satellite L505D factory restore recovery manually Partition files

  Here's my Situation:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-s5695 laptop, and I had to put a new hard drive in it, but not before I have copied files on an external drive recovery partition.

  So I have no recovery disks and no original hard drive.
  For this reason, now '0' in starting or F8 options to restore or enter recovery toshiba utility no longer exist.

  Is it possible to use Imagex or some other utility to restore the laptop to the original image with the files that were originally paritiion of recovery?

  I am currently playing with imagex controls and the. Files of stormwater management,
  But if someone knows the command line exact usage or procedure, it would be a great help!

  Thank you!

  After reading this, I must say that this will not work. You can't simply copy these recovery filed on another installation of HARD drive recovery and start. It will not work.
  Either you can start installation of recovery following procedure of Toshiba how to start HARD drive recovery facility or you must create recovery DVDs and use it for the installation of the OS.

  This recovery DVDs can be used on each HARD drive. With other words, you can replace the HARD drive with new and use the recovery image installation DVD.

  Following your logic, each can simply copy files and use it on some laptops. It will not work.
  You have created a DVD Toshiba tips/description on the creation of following recovery from recovery discs?

• Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

  But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
  ANY IDEAS?

  Thank you

  (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

  > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
  If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
  When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

  Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

  What operating system do you use?

• On Satellite A105 - S2131 factory restore

  I have a series of Toshiba Satellite A105 - S2131. I'm in the need to do a factory restore, but I don't have a restore disc, because I never saw when I got the computer, and when I tried to create a floppy disk to the computer that it does, I get an error that says in cannot find the file to create the disc. Now I don't know what I can do to make the factory restore.

  Any help would be great.

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me, there is a clear situation you need to order the new recovery media by the nearest authorized service provider.
  But you have another way to get own laptop preinstalled, use CD original Microsoft facilities. All the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from Toshiba support site.

• Satellite L350D-213 - restoration of the factory without disks

  Hello

  I came to this page because the Web, so many people say you don't need a disk and many others say that you do! {Massive headaches} CONFUSED!

  After last week, ending up with the UKASH virus on my computer, a friend helped and explains to go into MSCONFIG in safe mode and disable all, then I could finally get into my normal settings and do a scan to wipe it. I ran ad-aware, but later removed that he had fallen behind EVERYTHING, including IE. Then, I saved all my stuff and deleted from my computer to make room. I then did some general research and followed the instructions. "speed up my performance" followed by a few scans/clean ups and Defrags.

  I don't remember what I did to remove panic and difficulty Ukash and performance thereafter, except that I know that some applications do not work, because of a name of a file I know I deleted as 'my speed' and some I do not know why they do not work.

  After spending TWO WEEKS on this issue, it is better, the UKASH went, my performance is faster BUT the strange problem of a file, and I'm done with him! I want to do a factory restore to put all rights that I can and have done wrong.

  My question is; Can I do a record of WITHOUT restore factory, I don't remember if I've ever had a recovery disk, but if I did, I don't have any him more as they have become lost or misplaced.

  What are my options?

  My biggest fear is I'm at half way through the restoration of the factory and it prompts for a disk and I don't have. I also drive HARD recovery on my laptop on drives C and D.

  (System Restore does not work for me either, I have no restore points or can I create one, so another reason why I need to do a restore of the fctory)

  Kind regards.

  In your situation you should not spend a lot of time speculating on what the people are saying. In the user s manuals document described clearly how it works with the recovery image installation, creating recovery image and what your options are.

  In my opinion the best solution for virus affected system is new and clean install of the OS. It's certainly more radical solution but, I think of easier and faster way to have own OS again. The first step is the backup of the data, if possible and recovery image installation (factory settings).

  Recovery image can be installed on two ways:
  1 as described on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm HARD drive recovery facility
  2 with recovery disk created recovery image installation

  I presume you didn't create this disk so that you can do now is to order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  In any case, try it please with option 1 and send feedback.

• Satellite A500 - slow startup

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500.
  During the two days when I turn on my laptop it takes 20 minutes before entering the Enter password box and then another half an hour before the load upward.
  It is stuck on the Welcome screen.

  I also have problems stopping.
  I tried f8 and then recovering from an early date.
  But I got "no restore point is available", or something like that.
  It looks like now that with each attempt to restart the laptop runs things more and more bizarre.

  Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?

  I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
  What is the best thing to do?

  And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?
  Have yet another month overseas so any help will be great.

  Thank you
  UVA

  > Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?
  Yes, in my opinion, you should try this, but in case this problem is hardware related, the recovery would not help a lot.

  > I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
  > And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?

  Try HARD drive recovery:
  [How to recover a Toshiba notebook with the HDD recovery procedure | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm]

  If the HARD drive recovery is possible, the recovery discs are not necessary.

  But I'm afraid; m HARD drive can be a troublemaker. It probably needs to be replaced.

• Re: Satellite A500 - cannot install on Vista x 64 VAP

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 L 00, 00 with Vista x 64. When I installed SP2 I had to disable all the services of the "msconfig", but when I turned back, the Fn key stopped working and some of the buttons touch too.
  So I tried to install the added value package, but when I run the Setup, the installer suddenly disappeared after one or two screens of ms - dos Black Watch.

  So I can't install it!
  Help, please!

  Hello

  Verify that all services in msconfig have been activated after the installation of VAP.
  Otherwise, you need a system restore that allowed the recovery of HARD drive and you need to restore the phone to factory settings.

• Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

  So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

  When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

  Please help me

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

  Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

  But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

  The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

  The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.

• Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

  Hello guys,.

  Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

  My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

  My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

  The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
  What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

  Thank you.
  Leonardos

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
  So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

  Hi people,

  I need help please.

  My wireless adapter does not work.
  It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

  I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

  The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

  There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

  When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

  I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

  I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

  My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
  The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

  Hello

  Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

  If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
  Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

  Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

  PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

• Satellite A500 - beep 4 times every few minutes

  Hello

  Lately, I have some problems with my Satellite A500. When they surf the net (or), I feel a noise (light / not very strong but boring) from the right upper end of my laptop computer (hard drive?).

  The problem is bleeps 4 times in a row, freezes for 2-3 seconds (no response in the browser), and is then followed by another noise (like another short, click in the material). Then the system works again. This is often repeated once every one or two minutes.

  Would be great if someone has an opinion.

  Hey Buddy,

  This means that you may notice only the beeps in Windows?

  Well, it's really hard to say something on this sometimes question so in your case, I recommend restoring the Toshiba Recovery disk factory settings.

  Usually with these settings should work fine because it s tested by Toshiba.
  If this is not the case, contact an authorized service provider. Guys should check the material to find errors and that only professionals.

  Good luck!
