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.

  • Satellite A660 - 1 HL-problems with the graphics card

    Hello!

    This is my first thread so I apologize if I am doing something wrong and for my bad English. :)

    Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660 - 1 hl with two adapters, integrated and a GeForce GT 330 M. The integrated works well, but when I go to the dedicated I encounter problems. The non-adjustable resolution in optimal mode and windows in the operating system (windows 7) delays when moving. I can't get info on the map in all kinds of temperature programs or dxdiag and such others.

    I tried to install the drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update with no improvement. I can't run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or of any average games do I encounter error messages there as well. I begin to doubt that the drivers installed even.

    I hope you guys can help out me :)

    It comes to getting the error messages:

    You should test the RAM (memory) for problems using the Test of memory of Microsoft or the www.memtest.org (bootable CD).

    To confirm that this is a hardware problem, you must save your documents and run recovery.

    If the problem still occur on a new image, then the laptop should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a motherboard replacement).

  • Satellite A500 - factory restore

    Hiya

    I was wondering if someone can help me.

    I had no end of problems with my laptop with one thing and another, and for these last months, I had a problem with my windows install. I can not install, download or update anything because it says that there is an error with the installation program. I tried various things to try and fix this, but think that the only thing for me to do now is to do a factory restore.

    The problem is its asking me a password that I don't have. Is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you very much

    PS - or maybe someone can suggest a way to fix the installer: o)

    If you use the Windows login password, use the same. If not, put your account without password name and click Next.

  • Dell Inspiron laptop, Windows Vista Factory restore problems :(

    Hi, I'm a poster first. My computer knowledge is empowered moderate, so please cut me some slack! I hope someone can help me, I would be very happy.

    I have a Dell Inspiron laptop computer and the operating system Windows Vista 32. I recently tried a factory restore. I wish that I would have looked at this site before I tried.

    I finished the factory restore, but I think that I made a mistake. I have saved all the files except my music files, because I didn't think anything was important. I'm stoopied. Now, when I try to use my computer is a few things wrong with it.

    1 there is no way to connect to or even to recognize a wireless network. I have one in my house who previously worked a lot with my computer. When I use windows to diagnose the problem: "this computer has an adapter installed and configured wireless device." If I click on the button that says "install wireless networking equipment and verify that the correct drivers are loaded. Up is a window "Solve driver problems" which is almost useless.

    2. when I try to run a program, for example already installed windows Mah Jong Titans, on the computer I get this message: "exceleration material is either disabled or not supported by your video card driver, which could slow down the performance of the game. Good so my video card is not well configured. Now that I look, the resolution looks really different than before. Kind of a blur. I use my computer to run the music production software so I don't know that this is going to work.

    3. I have the DVD of re-installation of the operating system. I also have the CD of resources that contains all of the drivers (or other.) I can't load the drivers, or even knowing which ones I should install.

    I guess that I just want to know what I do to recover my computer at 100%. I hope that my problem is not too broad or too specific, but I hope some feeling there out a pain and can help out me.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    OK, the factory restore (takes 10 minutes) is less work because everything is done and you do not have to load drivers or utilities. In any case, it is easy to do and you have all that on the drivers and utilities CD. There might be a few steps on the CD, but you can download Dell. Once you have reinstalled Windows back post and I'll tell you the order in which to load your drivers. To do this: equip your Windows DVD. Everything that comes close to her. Restart the computer. As soon as you see the Logo Dell press F12. You will see the start page. Select your drive (should already be highlighted) and press ENTER. Press a key, install now, accept licenses, instructions are not always the same for each computer, depends on your configuration. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully. You must delete all data from your hard drive (C :) and the NTFS file system format. Also delete (D :), it's where is the factory restore.) You can post back if you arrive at a page (just stop there and wait for my reply) you don't understand.

I need a restore I am flying blind with this inability to restore is not cool at all. Thank you

    Hello Pushedincorners,

    Thank you for your message.  Unfortunately, you will need to contact your system manufacturer for instructions to correctly restore your computer to the factory settings.  This process is different from system to system manufacturer manufacturer and each has their own way of doing things.

    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 A660 - battery charging problem

    Hello everyone. I have problem with my laptop to load for a while.

    Laptop is charging for a few minutes and suddenly battery LED starts blinking pink, my battery is not reload then and I need to get out and reconnect the charger.

    Sometimes, I need to do this once for two minutes.
    Icon on the screen indicates that the battery is not supported and it is written how much % left. I've been looking for similar problems, but I didn't notice someone who speaks of the pink flashing LED.

    Everyone guess what is the problem? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    In think you should check out new battery.

    Is that battery will begin to lose the performance after a certain operating time and sooner or later each battery needs to be replaced.

    I m not quite sure about battery malfunction, but I guess that this part is easy to replace and should be checked in the first place

  • 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

    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:

The question as always been here, but given that it only happened once a month or less i thought it was a windows freeze or an overheating problem but for some time happened much several times, in four days happened to 8 times. Then I tried to update the drivers and nothing change until the BIOS drivers that I can't not to update because I get the following error (Firmware has no support of flash (AFUWINGUI)).

    Have you added extra RAM for laptop? Maybe the RAM is not compatible or has a problem. You can test the RAM with Memtest (bootable CD)

    Windows can get damaged over time due to bad judgments etc... It may be a good idea to save your documents and run Toshiba Recovery to restore Windows back to its factory condition.

    If the RAM passes the test and the gel is always held on a Windows factory installation completely fresh, then it is probably a hardware problem.

    Hi dude

    Skype works fine. Right?

    This means that the laptop is connected properly to the router and the internet connection has been established successfully.
    I think that a firewall can affect the functionality of the browser. Check the firewall settings.

    In addition you should check if other installed 3rd party tools to affect the functionality of the browser.
    Verify installed tools

    last but not least you could clean the operating system. Use the CCleaner.
