• Satellite L20-217: product Recovery CD/DVD (reinstall Windows XP)

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite L20-217 (aka PSL2XE) who is now more than three years. It's been a good camera but needs a clean reinstall of Windows XP to improve performance and stability, or possibly install a new larger hard drive. My problem is that I don't have a product recovery CD or DVD - it is be lost or has not submitted by the dealer who has also installed additional software purchase.

  Plan A: I checked the backup disk Toshiba Europe site command to such https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx as suggested by other people in this forum online. Unfortunately my model (or particular unit) is not supported. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the message "device no way recovery can be ordered, because it's not about Toshiba Europe region, or it is too old for this service."

  Plan b: I could use a different Windows XP CD to install the base operating system and to cope with the necessary drivers. I created a backup of the drivers and utilities of L20 CD, but do not have access to a vanilla Windows XP Edition family installation disc. (I tried the recovery CD for my Satellite A70 which is not recognized by the L20 at all and an XP Pro the installation CD for my other machines, but of course, the license key is not fair - the L70 is license for XP Home no Pro.)

  Plan C: the L20 is still operational. Is it somehow possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself? I couldn't find a utility to do it on the hard drive. Some Toshiba machines are supposed to support a recovery, insider mode by holding down the button "0" when the power, but not this unit.

  The questions are:
  (1) is it possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  (2) is there another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  (3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  (4) other solutions?

  Thanks in advance!

  >) it is possible to create a disc of recovery of this machine itself somehow?
  No! You cannot create own recovery on this laptop drive because this option was not mentioned on this model. New laptop models which are not delivered with the recovery only supports disk a possibility to create a recovery disk.

  (> 2) y at - it another way to contact Toshiba Europe to order a CD or a DVD? (As I live in the Canada after buying L20 in Gibraltar while she lived in Europe, the cost + shipping is likely to be more that the computer is worth worth)
  Usually, you can order the CD from recovery of the ASP from Toshiba, but I'm not sure if the European ASP will send to the Canada. In addition, it would be possible that the recovery for this laptop disk is no longer available.
  However, maybe you should contact the ASP (using European countries) in order to get more details.

  (> 3) as a last resort, that I must try to find a bootleg XP Media CD somewhere?
  Well, the last option would be an original Win XP disc with the right key of BONE.
  After Installing Win XP boot, you can download the Win XP drivers from the Toshiba page.

  (> 4) alternatives?
  I doubt, there are other solutions, either you will install the operating system using the disk Toshiba or Microsoft

• Satellite L25 - Question on recovery DVDs

  I have to do a clean re-install of my Satellite L25-S119. I have the recovery and the Applications DVD, but not sure if this includes Windows XP Home Edition. I've had this laptop as a birthday present so not sure if it comes with a separate Windows CD. I want to just make sure I'll be back Windows XP Home Edition.

  Hello

  The recovery DVDs contains the operating system already preinstalled (factory settings). Another Windows CD is not distributed with Toshiba laptops. The recovery DVDs contains the operating system itself, all the necessary drivers and all Toshiba designed tools and utilities.

  It is possible that your drive is broken.
  These problems usually occur because the lens of the player is unable to calibrate correctly.

• Satellite A105-S361 without recovery DVDs

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Satellite A105-S361 and now I have discovered that I do not have the recovery DVD and I don't have the possibility to recreate the DVD recovery my HD was formatted once.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance,

  Claudio...

  Hello

  I don't know where you come from, but AFAIK the Satellite A105-S361 was designed and delivered to the United States. It seems that this laptop is an American unit.
  Generally, it is possible to order recovery at the Toshiba service partner media but I don't know about the U.S. market.
  But I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba in your country for these media. In my opinion, it should be possible to order this CD.

• Satellite U400-183 - need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

  Hello

  I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a DVD OS Win that came with my other laptop to other manufacturing and the key that came with my Toshiba laptop. Everything works beautifully, but in some areas of Windows is still some specific parameters of the manufacturing on the other. Now is it possible to get a DVD of Windows Vista Toshiba?

  Another question is where can I get the AHCI drivers. There is only an exe file on the support site which I can't use during the installation of Windows. There must be some these .sys files, but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.

  Thanks in advance!

  PS: Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Germany...

  Hello!

  A new recovery DVDs, you can get your local ASP (authorized service provider).
  Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  The AHCI drivers or let say Intel Storage Manager, you can download from the Toshiba site as you have already said.
  The .exe file, you must check out to use during the installation, but with the recovery disk you n t need them.
  Please read the readme file in the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use the command line what it
  For example: - a - a - PC:------.

• Satellite m40x-249 "product Recovery DVD" in the other language

  Hello

  so, here's my problem

  I bought my laptop in Germany over 2 years ago that I live in Poland
  with her, I have produced recovery DVDs, German edition of course
  but my disk got zero terrible and I can't use it anymore

  is it possible to get a new one, not specifically in German, it can be in Polish (I prefer) and how much it will cost me?

  and I can make my own recovery DVDs, I already installed XP from another cd, found most of the drivers I needed (from site Web from Toshiba) but still i find some:

  DLA V4.95BUILD490B69B
  InterVideo windvd 5.0B11.475 - I0203
  V8.02.05 warranty booklet
  manuals V5.16
  Save now V7.22BUILD720B80E
  secure module SD V1.0.2
  Toshiba zoom hook V2.31.0.2C

  Anyone know where I can find them, I would be grateful

  THX in advance

  Other tools are only additional software that are provided with the laptop.
  This software is only available on the Toshiba Recovery CD and cannot be downloaded.
  All Toshiba drivers are published on the Toshiba page!

  If you wish, you can order the recovery CD of the ASP where you bought the laptop. In you case it s Germany.
  Finally and most importantly the recovery CD can be ordered only in the same language.
  If you bought the laptop in Germany, you will only get the recovery in relevant language CD.

  I'm not sure about the cost but it must be very cheap!
  Contact the ASP and simply ask!

  Best regards

• Satellite L300D-10 q recovery DVD Can be used on the replacement hard drive?

  Hello

  I was wondering if the DVD Recovery allows to install Vista on a replacement hard drive? The original hard drive is too small at 160 GB contain all the files that I use the virtual operating system image. The disk hard 500 GB of replacement must be large enough for that.

  The reason why I need to Vista, it's that the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04.1 and 8.10, cause the fan to run at full speed all the time which is very annoying. So for the moment I can only use Linux in a virtual machine.

  I intend to stay with Toshiba, though, as my two latest portable Toshiba Satellite a PII and a PIII still work today, and both have had Linux on them.

  Now, back to my story, I intend to remove the existing laptop, hard drive use DVD recovery to install to external USB 500 GB disk, replace the existing hard drive in starting up the laptop from the USB and copy my data overall. Before you reformat the old drive as external storage, I will replace in the laptop with 500 GB drive and the test so I can boot from the new drive.

  Key question will be the change of equipment, i.e. the new hard disk of 500 GB prevent Vista to install or activate?

  Thank you very much

  Vista itself can handle huge HARD drive sizes, but the question is: the recovery disc will be happy with 500 GB? The laptop will recognize 500 GB?

  I think it will work very well, because the new laptops are released with 320 HARD drive. 500 GB is not far.

  Its a few trial and error unless anyone here has tested a disc 500 GB HARD themselves.

• Cannot retrieve the Satellite C855D-15W with recovery DVDs

  Because of the issue, had to do a factory reset.
  Laptop came with preinstalled Win 8.

  Order recovery of Arvato media.

  In vain several times tried to recover the laptop using the discs. Same problem occurs: -.

  complete partition initialization
  * "Copying files please wait" 1.5 to 2 hours "
  * "An error has occurred.
  error: 0002
  Copy image error
  Please press OK to shut down the computer.

  Now the HARD drive is completely removed.
  Suspect the recovery media and asked for replacement.

  Any help / settings would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, there are two reasons that can explain why the recovery procedure fails.

  (1) failure of HARD drive
  (2) failure of the recovery disc

  I think you should first check if the disk HARD isn t the troublemaker.
  Go to BIOS (F2) and check if the HARD drive is listed on the first page of the BIOS.
  In case it is, the HARD drive may be OK

  In this case, the recovery disc may be defective.
  In this case, you should get in contact with the provider/supplier (Arvato) disk for the new medium.

• Necessary recovery for my Satellite Pro L20 CD

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L20 with Windows XP.
  I made a CD of recovery for him and there is no partition separately to install the system from it.

  So now, even though I own a license number, I can reinstall my system. I called the company that has exclusive rights to Toshiba in my country, and they say that they n t have this recovery CD anymore (my knees is around 3 years - so it s not that old right?) and that s their last word on this situation.

  Is someone can you please tell me where can I get this recovery CD? I can buy it anywhere?

  Thank you
  Mihai

  Hello Mihai

  As far as I know Satellite Pro L20 comes with recovery CD and there is no option for the creation on the new laptop models. This option doesn't exist.
  You wrote, it is the oldest model of laptop and I can imagine this company doesn t have for this model of laptop recovery media.

  Toshiba recovery media can be ordered under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx but I'm not sure that you will be able to order it for this older model laptop, but you can check it out.
  If you will not be able to order the original Toshiba recovery media, you can install WXP using the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba supports the page.

  One more thing: number on the bottom is for the recovery image and cannot be used with each installation of Windows XP Home edition CD.

  If you need assistance with installing WXp let us know.

• Is recovery DVDs the only disc with Satellite A200-1CR

  I wonder if I had all the discs with my laptop Satellite A200-1CR, because I can't make heads or tails of the files on the recovery DVDs. Where are all the programs that I should get with the computer., and I had everything installed from the beginning. I want to reinstall windows, but I am concerned if I have all the programs like: winDVD and Norton Security and all the driver.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  The Toshiba Recovery DVD is only one of the disks that came with your laptop.
  On this DVD, you'll find a Toshiba recovery image that contains the operating system Windows, drivers, tools and additional software.
  If you want to redefine the laptop to factory settings then just boot from the recovery disc and the installation will begin.
  But note; the recovery DVDs will format the drive so HARD integer if necessary backup data.

  Other programs like Win DVD or Norton Security are OEM versions and, therefore, are only on the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It of not possible to download it!

• Satellite L20 - 120 - recovery takes too long

  I'm not sure, if I take the right recovery DVDs - I got it from my client. I have a DVD "GMR400864GR0", Windows XP Prof, 2008. After restoration, remove the DVD, first start XP - execution of the VBI for more than 2 hours (said I should not stop)-is it possible? Or have I done something wrong or took a bad DVD?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hi Austria,.

  I can t tell you if it s the right recovery disk so you can find any information on the disk as recovery disk Toshiba for Satellite L20?

  If the recovery disk doesn't work, you should try a disc of Microsoft. All the drivers and tools can be downloaded from Toshiba! :)
