Satellite C660 - how to recover to factory State?

I would like to recover my Toshiba Satellite C660 to its original state.

I haven't created the DVD at startup.

There is a 11FR folder called HDDrecovery on the D: partition.

When I press F8 at startup, I don't see any possibility to use.

does anyone know how can I get it back? The option circled in red is not available.

There is a description of how to make a bootable USB key.
Optionally, you can copy the contents of the folder HDDrecovery on USB and this could create a primer.

Please post if this helped!

    Did you check the manual of your laptop?
    You will find all the information about to reinstall your laptop or you get back to factory settings. Also you can find here a large number of discussions on this subject so you should only use the search function.

    But if you have Vista on your laptop computer you can restore the factory settings if you use HARD drive recovery or you create the recovery disk. For HARD drive recovery works you should only go into the advanced boot menu by pressing F8, select Repair my computer and follow the instructions on the screen.
    With drive recovery it s similar: just boot from the floppy disk and follow the instructions on the screen.

    In addition, you should this information since the recall of recovery:

  • How to recover the PSADMIN State of origin user profile?

    People,

    Hello. My user ID to log in the application designer is "PSADMIN". I just created PIA. "http://localhost/psp/ps/?cmd=login" accesses PeopleSoft access code page, and I use "PSADMIN" to connect. I can open all web pages after login. "PSADMIN" is the access profile and user profile.

    But after I create a "newUser" role and assign a list of the permissions for the role, then the role "newUser" a link to the user "PSADMIN" profile, I can't open most web pages after login in PeopleSoft signon page using "PSADMIN". The system get the message: "you do not have access to the collection of Navigation. Please contact your portal administrator.

    Can any people tell me how to recover the profile user "PSADMIN" State of origin so that all web pages open after the connection?


    Thank you.

    go to PIA by using a root as VP1 or PS user and remove what you added to the PSADMIN.

    If you have locked your root user by chance... unlocked by using backend.

    PSOPRDEFN TABLE, unlock root user using the acctlock update.

    then sign in using that and make changes to the PSADMIN. or just the background, you can delete the additional role of PSADMIN profile using the same table.

  • Satellite C660 - how to upgrade with the webcam internal?

    Hello!

    I just bought a satellite C660, however it did come with a webcam or a microphone, I need now.

    I note the slot above the screen that should accommodate a web cam - it is relatively easy to buy something to get into that and install it myself (I'm not very technical and is not a good range of tools)?

    Or, is it a reliable add-on camera / mic combination should I get?

    The camera lens is especially Skype videoconferencing. Might be interesting to make the recognition of faces too, but not absolutely necessary.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    Hello

    There are different models on the market with a different hardware configuration.
    Your laptop was released would accuse this cam.

    You can't pass this laptop with the internal webcam.

    I recommend that you buy a simple USB webcam, which can be connected to the USB port if necessary.

  • Satellite C660: How to turn off the zoom of the touchpad on/off function

    My Satellite C660 zooms pages Web etc. in & on the touchpad mouse.
    I tried to get used to but its been a year & I had to buy a wireless mouse that I can get along with it.

    Can I turn off this feature so the Mouse touchpad don't zoom in & out everything more & just did normal move the pointer of the mouse & tap to click functions?

    Hello

    I think you are talking about the pinch to zoom.
    Yes, this can be disabled.
    Go to control panel-> mouse-> device settings (I think its last tab, it could be called Advanced too)
    Here click the Advanced Settings button
    Here, you should see all the available options. I guess that option should be available here.

  • Satellite U - How to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to recover deleted files from mysafe?

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the data in this folder will not be deleted to bin recycled initially, but they will be removed immediately.
    How recovery them? Good question?

    Try to find some third party applications that can scan the HARD disk for deleted files. The point is that it will work if the FAT (File allocation table) is deleted only. This means that the file is on the HARD disk, but the disk HARD doesn t know where exactly.
    Hmmm... It is not so easy.

  • Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?

    I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.

    In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.

    What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.

    So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.

    Hey Buddy,

    That s a little confused is your story...

    Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.

    If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.

    If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

    I used Toshiba Recovery Wizard, but with save data option c:\Users[user-name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes. Now how can I recover?

    Now it is recovered, but I need to find my data!

    During the process of recovery of the disk HARD will be formatted and all will be set to the same State as on the first day of purchase...
    That is why I fear that your data could be lost if you have not created a backup in the past.

  • Satellite L850D - how to recover Windows 8?

    Hello guys.

    I had virus problems with my Toshiba Satellite L850D and decided to restore the factory settings.

    During the recovery, it crashed while I held the power button and when I started it again, it seemed that windows 8 had been removed.

    I took the laptop to a local computer repair company that could not recover my windows 8 and windows 7 installed on it.

    I paid around £80 extra when you purchase the laptop for windows 8 already installed on it and I was just wondering if there was anyway to get it back?

    Thanks for the help

    > What steps should I follow?
    As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
    Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
    > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
    After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
    3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
    Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

  • Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

    First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

    I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

    What can I do?

    Hello

    Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

    In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
    You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite A300 - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello everyone,

    first of all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language and I do a lot of mistakes, I hope you can understand me correctly.

    My problem is that I have a toshiba Satellite A300 provided with Windows Vista op time after I have bought I installed windows 7 on it (you know, so new that I have to try). Now, my problem is I want to reset my phone. I have the recovery disks, and the folder HDDRecovery D: but my computer cannot read.

    What can I do? I tried a lot of things... How can I reboot my computer to factory settings?

    Hope you can help me,

    Best regards.

    Hi biguri,.

    After the installation of another operating system, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. That means Vista preloaded with all the drivers and tools you get back if you boot from the recovery disc and follow the on-screen instructions.

    But don't forget to make a backup of the important files like photos, videos, etc., because the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD disk.

    You have problems with the recovery disk?

    The original operating system with the laptop is Vista and I'm trying to install XP so that I change the size of the partition. Please help me to know how the original recovery system?
    Notes: No there are no no action when I press f12 or f8 in XP but in the last time. I found repair Windows and new Vista recovery

    Thank you

    Hello

    After installing another OS, you can retrieve only Vista if you start from the Toshiba Recovery disk and install the content. There is no disk HARD recovery option more, it means that the HARD drive recovery partition will not help you.
    In addition the Windows RE partition has nothing to do with Toshiba, it s a Vista feature.

    Then boot from the Toshiba recovery disc and will respond to factory settings! ;)
