Satellite A60-742 how a recovery facility

Hello
I am about to sell my old laptop with Windows XP installed and ensured that all personal files and passwords are removed before as I do.

I think that the best solution is to reinstall XP completely, but I don't remember if she got with a recovery cd or if she has a hidden partition.
So I wonder what I'm doing to make a full recovery from the XP that came with the laptop without CD?

Thank you

Satellite A60 came with a recovery CD, and this image is not stored anywhere on the laptop or the hidden partition.
So the only way to reinstall Windows with all the drivers and tools for Toshiba is to use the recovery CD.
You can order such a CD on Toshiba:
https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

You can also do is to install Windows XP with a Microsoft installation disc, but then you must download and install all the drivers. It takes much more time.

Only portable computers that are shipped with Windows Vista can be recovered with the HARD drive because there are also stored image above.

  • Satellite A60 and Windows XP Recovery

    Hi all.

    I recently bought a Satellite phone from second hand from a friend (a little more older Notebook - from 2004.) When started in a virtual environment and run anti virus applications (memory) and diagnostic (Everest and Memtest etc.) tools, everything seem to be functional and in good condition. The HARD drive was dead when originally purchased, so I replaced that with a new (first replacement was defective, but was written for initially in tests, while the second is still RAW and unused). When you try to do an OS recovery/reinstall on the product CD (#R - 02163001 PMR400170EN1 2/2 T) original OEM nothing happens to start the process (no BootCD in drive - this despite the boot order set correctly). The only file on the CD is a file 02163001.GHS (615, 722ko) inside a TOSHIBA folder. This I guess being the second or several split files of Ghost. However the first part, which I imagine must be a. The file GHO to automatically start the startup/recovery process, is missing. Assuming that CD-ROM (certainly not the optical drive) as being faulty, I tried to buy a replacement online and by calling suppliers the. This CD is apparently is no longer available, anywhere!

    Defective CD-ROM, based on the single file, its size and the possible lack. GHO file?
    Is it possible to still make use of the image of the. GHS of the file on the original product recovery CD and incorporate it to recover the machine with a new CD with a .iso file, I could create. If so, how would I go on this subject?
    Norton Ghost 10 can not recognize this file type, for recovery. I have too many Norton Ghost 2003, but it is not intended to be used on a platform of XP based machine. Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 could do the job, but is $39 and I think that a little buying risky. The use of pirated software is not a viable option either.
    Purchase at a cost, a non - OEM generic Windows XP PRO is probably a solution, but preferably, I would like to use my original OEM CD.

    If anyone knows of any useful information or could provide a workaround solution, it would be appreciated.

    Hello

    As I see that you try to start the procedure of facilities using CD 2/2. It will not work.
    Recovery image is recorded on two CD and it should be started with the 1/2 CD

    You have the 1/2 CD?

  • Satellite A60-106: How can I remove the old CD/DVD player

    Hello
    I have a Satellite SA60-106 and want to date my DVD/RW X 1 on a 8 X DVD/RW.
    How can I remove the old DVD to replace with a new one.

    Please help if you can email [email protected]

    Hi, Malcolm

    For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

    At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

    I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

  • Satellite A60-742, hibernation

  • Audible alarm (beep) when starting a satellite A60 742

    Hey!

    When I try to start the laptop, a sound comes from the speakers and it stops after a few seconds.
    I don't know what the problem... Please, need help!

    Thank you very much!!

    In my opinion, the beep was caused by Power-on-self-test (POST).
    The STATION is running in the background and checks your hardware to ensure that everything works correctly.

    The sound signal is a BIOS error code and it seems as if a hardware failure has been detected and in most cases it s a malfunction of the motherboard :(

    I think you don't have a lot of possibilities.
    In my opinion, you need assistance from EPA.
    The technician may test the computer laptop and could know what's exactly wrong and what causes this problem.

    In the worst case, you will need to replace the motherboard and is not cheap.
    You know, everything is about money, you can easily get a new motherboard, but I guess you will have to pay about 350-400 euros.
    Therefore, you should consider some other possible solutions IE a laptop second hand.

  • Recovery facility does not engage on Satellite L850D

    Hello

    as my PC still locked after 10 minutes (surfing on the net, use of Ms office,...) Finally, I decided to reinstall Windows and made a record of recovery facility. Indeed, remove all software (office, Chrome,...) and reinstall it did not solve anything
    I reinstalled and noted installation was indeed very slow (hours) until he stopped at stage 47 of 47. Wait again for if long step 47 in the end, he didn't move at all.

    I rebooted, and then asked for an administrator password to WIndows7. How can I know, I didn't create any user.

    Then I restarted in safe mode, where I could create a user with administrator rights (if did not create a password for it)
    Then I could log on, but he again immediately on screen Toshiba Leading Innovation above windows again stuck again at stage 47/47. No movement at all new.

    So I decided to lower-level security the lowest level regarding ' when the software is installed you are not asked to leave.
    Indeed, the stage 47, then ends.
    But then, I get another step of the installation with the comment "of worden systeemprestaties nu geclassificeerd. It's the Dutch version, which means "Systemprestations are now classified."
    I am progressing a little, but after about 10 seconds, it stops and the progress bar does not continue. Automatically restarts windows and sometimes not help waiting hours. He leaves with execution step 47 of 47, going back to "Systemprestations are now classified", but always stucks there yet.

    I don't really see a solution, please help me.

    As Windows 7 is pre-installed, I have no CD/DVD official WIndows7 and cannot rely on the Toshiba recovery tools.
    I would expect Toshiba Recovery does all the work...

    Even if you are not a professional IT guy, the recovery process is not really complicated...

    Usually, you must boot from the recovery disk and have to follow the instructions on the screen... that's all...

    I also got my two laptops Toshiba repeatedly and never questions had mentioned in your message... in similar cases, I recommend always repeat the recovery procedure or check the hardware parts; for example the HARD drive...

  • Satellite A60 - recovery disc won't start plus-disque no bootable error

    Hello

    I set the boot sequence to boot from the cd, but the message reads: no bootable disk.

    I tried to open it with ghost, but looking for a password.

    Toshiba Satellite A60.

    Hello

    First you will not be able to extract the ghost image file because it s set as you could see.

    I put t know why you can't boot from the recovery CD Toshiba. But reasons could be:
    -The CD is defective (zero, not more readable)
    -You used a bad CD
    -The CD/DVD drive can not handle this CD because of the lens of the laser drive old and faulty.

    Then you should check first if you can start on other Microsoft Windows CD to see if the CD/DVD drive is ok.
    If it is ok, then there is a problem with your CD!

    Dear Yolande, it will not work on this path. What you need, it's true record and not parts that you can later put together.

    You can install own OS using the Microsoft installation disc. All the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  • Satellite A60 - how to fix a female connector on the motherboard?

    I have a Satellite A60 which is since 2005. About 6 months ago the CPU fan started running all the time and recently, the computer began to fade.

    Thinking that it is ongoing overheating, I decided to completely disassemble the computer, clean it thoroughly, remove the old thermal paste and install one DIMM memory more important.

    Well, everything goes like clockwork, until I tried to put the connector of the power on switch in the plug. It wasn't easy so I put gently a little more pressure on the connector using tweezers. At this time, the socket broke apart from the motherboard.

    I don't have the tools for a welding job, but could a competent technician successfully reattach or is there a new mobo in my future.

    Thanks for the tips!

    To be honest also don t know how to solve this problem, because I m not a technician for laptop and I believe that you will not find the technicians of laptop here because it s only a user to user forum.

    Regarding this issue, please contact an authorized service provider. Talk to the technicians and buy a cup of coffee. I'm sure they'll help you ;)

  • How to remove the HDD on my Satellite A60 password?

    What is this password? I have not active this password and I don t know how to release it.

    Maybe the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite Pro 2100; How to get additional software without recovery CD?

    How can I get the software WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?

    Post edited by: yirms

    This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the download page of Toshiba why?
    Because this isn't a Toshiba Software, but software manufacturers, 3rd party.
    This software comes with the recovery disc and can only be used with your laptop!

    I think it has something to do with licensing issues

  • Satellite A60-218 - where to download the recovery disk?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite S60. It's a work computer and it's actually not mine but as I work with and I want it to be faster.

    Someone on the formatted past with an installation of Windows XP from F@kE and all the drivers disc was lost. Not only the wireless card but also a sound card and graphics.
    After much research I found the audio driver. The main problem is that is not a genuine copy of windows, and it is very slow because of Troy, etc..

    I think that the best way to fix it is to recover to factory settings (all the CDs are lost). Only I couldn't find in the website of the S60 satellite. Will there be a recovery iso image for download?

    Can someone help me? I'm really desperate...

    Hello

    First of all the S60 satellite does not for me and I think you mean Satellite A60.

    Well, as you said the best way to fix this is a Toshiba Recovery disk because it contains a picture of the factory settings. This means that the operating system (Windows) with all drivers and Toshiba tools installed. Thus, you will save time compared to a disc of Microsoft.

    The recovery disc can t be downloaded, but you can ask an authorized service provider. Maybe they can order a new one for you.

    Thanks already

    > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
    Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
    Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

  • Satellite A60: Need a recovery CD

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A60-682 (PSA60E), and two weeks ago the HD crashed.
    Unfortunately I lost the recovery CD and I can't rebuild the OS (Windows XP Home Edition) and drivers.
    I asked the authorized Toshiba Service partner, but they told me that the recovery for my Satellite A60 CD is no longer available.
    There are only 2 solution:
    (a) buy a new CD of Windows XP with Microsoft license and install the drivers (download from the Toshiba site)
    (b) a copy of the recovery CD for Satellite A60 of another user who has this model of laptop.

    Could someone help me? Could someone send me a copy of the recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello
