Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

Hello, this my phone trees.
I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
Thanks in advance.

More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
You've misunderstood with username and account.

Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
Now, you have two options:
-to order the new recovery DVDs or
d ' use the clean install of the OS.

What do you think of this?
To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  • HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

    Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

    I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

    I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

    > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

    It is possible:
    In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

    As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

  • Satellite L655 - recover Toshiba Recovery option

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 with Windows Home Premium 64-bit. I recently had problems with my operating system. Unfortunately, I didn't know about HARD drive recovery option, so I just reinstalled an OS with Windows 7 installation CD (I have a).

    Now I know about HARD drive recovery and I would get my system to it's State of origin "Toshiba", but there is nothing "Toshiba HDD recovery" more in the recovery menu (F8 at startup)

    I still have the folder HDDRecovery on my drive D:\ with od 7.5 GB data. But how can I get it back? What should I install to have the "Toshiba Recovery" point back again in the recovery environment?

    Thank you
    Ivan

    Hey Buddy,

    The Toshiba HDD Recovery feature is available on the preinstalled operating system. If you have installed another version he s not available anymore.

    So in your case, you have the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk before installing Windows 7?
    Usually this can be done with the box settings because the Toshiba recovery media creator is preinstalled. This means that you need some blank discs to create the recovery disk.

    If you don t have the recovery disc, you can order a new by clicking here:

  • F8 - HARD drive recovery procedure, cannot open a session

    Im trying to start the HARD drive retrieve using this tutorial:

    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    and uptill now ive never been able to take the selection of keyboard layout that my hard drive is not proeprly work but finally ive today managed to cross twice in a row, but instead of a log on screen as the tutorialshows, I get a box with a red and white circle X, he says something in sense of I need to log in before I can use this feature and communicate with my administration system Press ok to restart. So, how can I do so im automatically logged until I reached this point is there anything I can do in the bios I can access only no problems without it crashing.

    Thnx, Ross

    All the HARD drive recovery procedure has nothing to do with the BIOS.

    Your story is quite confusing and I don t understand this with red and white circle X.
    I made repeated several times and have never seen anything like it.
    I can imagine that recovery image is missing, and as a result, you get this message.

    Can you please tell me on which stage you have problems? Maybe you can take a picture?

    Just click NEXT in step 2.
    To step 3 remember your username is just a (the same as the Windows logon). If you use the password put it there but otherwise just leave it blank and click NEXT.

  • Re: No HARD drive recovery on Satellite S995D-S5374 area

    I can't do a recovery disc, it says that there is no HDD Recovery area.

    The situation was like that, I wanted to decrease the size of the C drive. I did it with a program and then windows could not start and went to do so more and more.

    I used a different windows installation disc 8. I used the reset option. And the computer started as if it was just a box, the only difference was that my files were intact and also my account on win8. Although scores are one in trouble.

    Now, it looks like this:

    I can not access the half of my hard disk space. There is recovery partition as you can see, but I can not burn a recovery disk...

    I tried to do what he says here (opening the HARD drive recovery process), but it failed. I get the screen where it says
    my pc need to be repaired and nothing was found or can not be found to achieve this.

    Yes, guyes, * please help *. I want my rear disc space and if it is possible to make a recovery disk. As I can access the recovery partition in my computer, can't do a drive recovery here?

    p.s. in disk management, when I right click on the partition "Data", it is said that 'Help' and nothing more.

    p.p.s. I Satellite S995D-S5374. And there was no disk recovery with it when I bought it.

    In recent years, Toshiba doesn't offer recovery discs with new models of laptops with recovery media must be created by the owner of the laptop. It is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

    Recovery media can be created if the laptop has only factory settings. As I see that you have changed the structure of the partitions and that was the big mistake. Of course you can do, but at the first recovery media must be created.

    Please read the last post on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=140985

    Sorry, but now you cannot create recovery media or start HARD recovery disk image installation.
    If you want to have the recovery disk and use it to recovery image installation, you need to order a new drive for https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
