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.

  • Satellite A500 - 14Q - Question about recovery-DVD

    Hey,.

    My HD crashed recently. My laptop was still under warranty, so I send it back and they replaced the hard drive.

    When I came back, I installed Ubuntu and it works very well.

    But I need Windows Vista for computers in some programs (Visual C++, some games,...) that does not work under Wine. Given that I had not made a lot of things, I thought to use the recovery media. Normally, you should be able to do it from the configuration (hold 0 or F8). But it doesn't work (I get a different screen with no options).

    After some research, I realized I could order a recovery dvd. I wonder if this will work because my laptop is already running on ubuntu? And it will reinstall Vista?
    It would be stupid to more worn 30EUR for recovery dvd that does not. If this is the case, I'll just buy Windows 7, but that seems like a waste of money, since I had before my broken HD (free upgrade).

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Why use Vista on this machine? It must be supported Win7, so before you spend money for Vista old and not so perfect to buy Win7 and you will have great machine with the new operating system that works much better than old Vista.

  • Satellite L25 does burn the DVD-R

    Hello

    I am not very computer so I hope it's a simple question. I have a Satellite L25 with a DVD-ROM.
    I am trying to record a video on a disc. It works when I save it to a CD - RW, but it does not seem to recognize the a DVD-R disc that I bought a whole bunch of today.

    Have I bought the hard drive or is there something in my computer that should be adjusted?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Karen

    Hello

    I found information that on some laptops Satellite L25 there was only a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive installed. In this case, you can only burn the CD and read only DVD-ROMS.
    In this case, all ok on your laptop. You must use compatible support

  • 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 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.

    with her, I have produced recovery DVDs, German edition of course
    but my disk got zero terrible and I can't use it anymore

    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 L350 - Question about recovery disc creation

    Help, please.

    I read in the manual for my new lap top before setting up and feel rather nervous.

    The seller said that he had to open automatically when I start it, and all I had to do to install the printer and my word m/s (for example) program and I would be in place and running.

    But it seems that I should first do some recovery disks.
    How many disks is necessary? DVD no doubt - or D/L.?
    The recovery discs are possible after other programs installed?

    Secondly, he mentioned the manual online. Where can I find it?
    I have a scanner and a Seagate external hard drive, but these can be added later.
    I use the laptop as a desktop replacement for my old Mesh PC of five years.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Yes, it is very important to create the recovery disk before you change anything on your HARD drive laptops.
    When you have completed the installation of Vista, you must start the application called recovery Toshiba disc Creator.
    This application will help you create the recovery disk.

    As I m not wrong not you would need a DVD. I recommend using a DVD-R.

    Notes; in some cases, you might get an error burning the recovery DVDs. This may happen because not all drives are fully compatible. So if you get this error please check different DVD from different manufacturers

    Good bye

  • Satellite A40: Question about product dvd recovery

    Hello

    Please help me on my computer toshiba Satellite A40 laptop...
    I want to reformat my HARD drive with operating system XP...

    My first question is, it installs my XP OS after that I run the recovery cd?
    I'm afraid that after I run the recovery cd, I'll lose my OS XP...

    I don't have an XP CD... I only got this product recovery cd (disc1)

    There a disc2 because the cd that I got was just disc1...

    Please help me with this...
    Thank you

    Restore CD contains recovery image. Recovery image include the operating system, drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    When you install recovery image you own preinstalled WXP. For cell old models were most two disks: 1/2 and 2/2 so if you the second you will not be able to install the OS completely.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A660 - question of recovery of the system and Windows software

    Hi all

    I recently bought a new Toshiba laptop and created a set of disks for backup use Toshiba Recovery media creator.
    Now, this laptop is proved to be defective and was exchanged by another.
    There was a slight difference in the software, what the faulty version was preloaded Office 2010 starter and the new Office 2007 trial 60 busy days.

    As I have already created backup discs of the defective model (i.e. same spec/model number) can just recover the system using the device backup discs?

    The reason why I want to do is that I prefer the Office 2010 Starter version (as opposed to the trial version). Software recovery disks that you create on this computer in particular connected serial number is or can I use them on the new machine to replace the identical specifications?

    Thank you

    Generally you can use it if the two laptops have the same part number (model number PAxxxx).

    Before that, you create an original DVD for the machine, you now have. If something goes wrong, you can use the original disc.

    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.
