Satellite C660 - recovery partition is there but can I make backup discs?

Hi all

Just a query
My GF turned on his PC series portable Satellite C660 and it would not start, we have tried to open the restore from the recovery partition sequence but kept getting the error that progresses at the start (error said to a device USB has been disconnected).

As you probably guessed that she never did the backup disks when you are prompted, everything I could think of used a drive to win 7 and reload this way then try to make recovery disks after (I didn't activate)
so win 7 has been installed well and all the drivers of origin that was all last week.
Now to the crunchiness, the recovery partition is here now, I do the recovery disks and install from those, win 7 I installed it will soon take activation
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

After clean install of OS you can't create more recovery disk and you cannot install recovery image using the disk HARD recovery option (F8 at startup).

Best thing you can do now is drive original order of Toshiba and use it for recovery image installation. It is certainly easier to have factory again.

  • Recovery partition is there but does not start Recovery

    Hello

    When you try to restore the image (F11 at startup), the laptop seems to be as he tries to start missing Windows installation (Windows Boot Manager error page).

    Partitions 'SYSTEM', 'HP_RECOVERY' and 'HP_TOOLS' have not been affected. Recovery files of ~ 15 GB are still there!

    The Windows (2nd primary) partition was deleted and then recreated as an NTFS partition. Since then, the recovery process does not start.

    How can I restore my intact HP_RECOVERY partition system without using recovery DVD? (I can't access right now.)

    The partition Windows has need of a specific disk label? What is the magic that breaks the recovery when an NTFS partition is all simply deleted and then re-created?

    HP ProBook 6550 b (WD701EA #ABD)

    Solution: How to fix F11 penetrates is not in the Recovery Manager process

    You will need:

    -This fix by HP: difficulty to the Multi-partition HP Recovery Manager (the ProBook 6550 b is not listed as a supported model, but it worked for me)

    -installation of Windows (see partial solution above) a job to install the fix on your ProBook

    or

    -sufficient knowledge to extract the winre.wim missing the fix above, copy it to your recovery partition and to apply any measures necessary (I did this)

    Steps to follow:

    -in your work on your ProBook Windows installation open the file downloaded "sp48415.exe".

    -the files will be extracted in "C:\swsetup\SP48415", open this folder in Explorer

    -Right click on "F11SPFix.cmd" and run as administrator

    -the patch will be applied

    Restart und press F11 at startup to enter your recovery Manager (hopefully) fixed.

  • Satellite C660 - D partition is full, but I only use the C partition

    I get a message that hard drive, D drive is full, but I don't use that drive C. I thought D was for elements of recovery. How can I decide what elements should not be in d and how how to decide what to delete/move?

    > I thought that D was for elements of recovery
    This isn't 100% correct.
    Of course, Toshiba Recovery files are placed in the folder of recovery on the D partition, BUT this does not mean that you cannot store other files on that partition.
    You can.

    >. How can I decide what elements should not be in D
    Before saving the files on the HARD disk, you will be asked for the place. You can always decide where these files should be stored.

    > and how to decide what to delete/move?
    It s your own decision to tell what files you want to move / delete.
    If you don't care about t of some files and some files are not important for you, you could remove it.

    I always install my programs on the system C partition. But the independent files such as music (mp3 files), images (jpeg, jpg, etc...) I always record on another partition

  • Lost on Satellite P850 recovery partition

    G ' Day alll.

    Been out of the game for a while, got a Toshiba Satellite P850
    I thought I'd set it back to factory default so hit zero key.

    Came with option erase hdd, Toshiba Recovery Wizard.

    I thought that big, it will be erased the hard drive then to let me use the hidden partition to reinstall the new copy of windows8 accompanying.

    Now I get up at startup
    Reboot and select proper boot device or insert pre start-up support and boot device selected any key.

    IM gob felt that his own Toshiba Recovery Wizard it would wipe clean recovery partiton...

    so now have no recovery partition as im aware by pressing the zero key is constantly with the above...

    think I've done a big Jeremy.

    Looking for best way & eaiest way to solve this problem?
    was soon macka.

    Ive tried to use my hiren & bootcd but wont even pick up after chaning boot order in the bios first cd player etc.

    everything keeps going back to
    Reboot and select proper boot device or insert pre start-up support and boot device selected any key.

    any help will be appreciated.
    Cheers again Macka. Am I missing something?

    Your biggest mistake was that you didn't create recovery media using pre-installed recovery media creator tool. With the support of recovery (DVD or USB key), you'll be able now to install original recovery image. It is also described in the document s user manuals. This backup is very important.

    It's that you can't force your laptop have access or install recovery image, if it is still saved on the HARD drive. Now, you can either install the clean version of the OS using installation disc of Microsoft or order original Toshiba Recovery disk for recovery image installation.

    I don't know where you live, but if you have the European model for laptop, you can order it on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite A300 - recovery partition is lost

    EDIT:
    Thanks to a recovery software, I saved the file "HDD RECOVERY" an all other files that were in another folder in C: D: (the corrupted partition)

    Now, how can I burn a cd/dvd of recovery from this folder?

    --------------
    I have the Satellite A300-21w which came with a HD 320 split into 2 partitions: C: D & a Vista Home premium:
    The D: partition that contains the "HDD RECOVERY" folder was accidentally damaged by me and now the system only display the C: partition.
    I tried to run the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator but it shows the message: could not find file "hdd recovery."
    How can I restart my laptop?

    Post edited by: melauf00

    To burn the recovery disk, you have the Toshiba recovery disc creator.
    This program is preinstalled on your laptop from the image of Toshiba.

    But that's why the folder HDDRecovery must be on the D drive as far as I know. Otherwise it s is not possible.

    If you create a partition of D again. Maybe it works.

  • Satellite C660 - green light comes on but no display

    Hello

    I have 3 laptops Satellite C660 all do the same things.
    The power is turn on and get the green lights but no display on the screen. It happens from time to time.

    Anyone know what I could be the motherboard is going or is it over heating?

    Thank you

    I can't say with certainty what part could be affected, but fact is that if the Toshiba start screen does not appear at the beginning of the startup procedure. This means that the self-test isn t power began and could not be passed correctly. This could be linked to the problem of the motherboard or part connected to the motherboard. That is to say. RAM modules.

    I recommend if possible, check the modules single RAM.

    High internal temperature may affect the functionality of the laptop too. But you can avoid these problems, clean the cooling and cooling grids fans from time to time.

  • Satellite L650: recovery partition is gone

    Recently, I have my phone L650 back using the method of the hard drive. Then somehow now I only have one partition and the recovery partition disappeared.

    The first day I got my laptop, I have already burned the recovery DVDs. So I still can do recovery in the future.

    However, I still want my recovery disk partition hard back.

    Are there procedures that I can follow to make a recovery partition?

    Thank you.

    You can not install the recovery partition.
    When you use method HARD drive for installation of operating system, which means the recovery partition already exists, and that after the recovery procedure cannot be removed or deleted.

    It may be just hidden and you won't see it in Windows Explorer.

    When you use the recovery DVDs the same thing from happening again.

    Open disk management and check if a partition with about 10 GB will appear here. It must be the recovery partition.

  • Satellite C660 - keyboard does not work but the Num and caps lock shift are on

    I have a Satellite C660 which was working fine this morning. When I came home from work and he turned, the keyboard does not work and therefore can not enter my login information.
    The Num and caps lock shift are turned on.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    You are able to disable the CapsLock and NumLock?
    You can access the BIOS by pressing F2 by turning on the device?

    If this does not work, I would recommend checking an external USB keyboard.
    If the USB keyboard would be functions, then this means that the internal keyboard is defective and must be replaced.
