  Hello

  I have the Satellite L300 laptop with the reinstalled Windows 7.

  I recorded all of the files on another partition recovery, but I need the recovery utility to create the installation disk.
  Where can I find this utility?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can not download it.
  The Toshiba recovery disc creator is preinstalled and you should always create the recovery disk before you change the operating system or anything on the HARD drive.
  Save files to another partition recovery won't help you because the recovery disk creator Toshiba will not recognize it

  Now, you will need to order the recovery disk if you want to recover the computer laptop s factory settings.

• Satellite A200: Can I use the recovery disc without wiping the drive

  I read the threads on this forum, but I did not come with an exact answer to my problem.

  With my regular PC, I got a disc of Installation of Vista, which is also a recovery disk (like that could do with XP). One of the most useful things is that when you start from the disc you have an option to "fix" the system, which means that all the vital files (such as the bootloader...) will be restored, but otherwise all data will remain. This is extremely important when for example you install a dual boot with Linux, when often Vista refuses to start and to repair the boot loader has solved the problem. Of course it can easily and quickly fix all kinds of other problems in the system as well.

  My laptop Toshiba A200 (otherwise a wonderful machine), came with the Toshiba product recovery disc. From everything I read on the forum and what he says on the disc itself, I understand that it only allows a total reinstallation of the system, set at the factory, wiping your drive and everything on it.

  Toshiba really leaves us without a 'repair' option '?
  I find that quite amazing, because after all, I paid for the Vista operating system, so why shouldn't I get the options I would have if I had an original Vista disc?

  If all the above I have is right, it means that if I want to install a dual boot with Ubuntu and would get a bootloader problem, I loose all my data when I have to repair the boot loader? (A problem which, with the option 'fix', takes only 5 minutes to fix!).

  I would like to hear reactions, solutions, suggestions or alternatives.

  Thanks in advance,
  Yossi Beck

  Hey Yossi

  I think you have misunderstood something!

  You received with the image of Toshiba Toshiba Recovery CD! The image contains drivers Vista OS, Toshiba, tools, utilities, and additional programs!

  Please don't compare this disc for the original CD of Microsoft Vista and don t mix it!

  So using this disk, you can set the laptop back to factory settings!
  This is very useful because this procedure takes about 10 minutes only and you get everything functioning OS with all the drivers, tools, etc.

  Please note that no all users and customers who buy these phones are technicians and scientists ;) but simply newbie and such possibility of recovery is always welcome!

  but the use of this recovery CD format the whole HARD drive and erases all partitions.
  That is why it s advisable to back up the data before using the recovery CD/DVDs

• Satellite A300 - I can't find the recovery disk creator

  Hello world!

  Need help with my Satellite A300. I lost the recovery disc optical I burned when the laptop was new. Now when I try to burn a new disc of recovery can't get the Recovery Disc Creator - not on the desktop or in the Start meny. I still have the folder with all the left recovery files - a folder named HDDRecovery with 4.5 GB size. The problem is to know how to burn the disc.

  Can anyone help?

  iMate, Sweden

  Hello!

  You have reinstalled the laptop with your own version of Windows?

  The problem is that the recovery disc creator can t be downloaded. So I think you use HARD drive recovery function to restore the factory settings. After that, it is perhaps possible to burn the disc of recovery again.

• Satellite L500 - 19 X - cannot use the recovery disk

  Well I had this phone two days ago and he used once after installing fire fox and my mobile to wide band of the driver and going to start and find it of going to happen.

  I tried SafeMode (three) and repair and all I got was a screen black with the cursor upward where it should have been a language screen (I used the recovery disc supplied with the notebook) so anyway, after finding out that I wasn't going to be able to fix it, I tried to install , but of course, this does not work, or so I put my XP 64 bit OS on and has perfectly worked, then I updated (using my own upgrade windows 7) and that works fine no problem, so I tried again with the original windows 7 comes pre-installed on the hard drive on the laptop and everything went find until she starts the installation of the driver or updates (I not 100% sure on this but it or after the installation of face recognition.

  Then it stops it of self down and boots back up to automatically restart and asking me if I want to repair due to a bad start, so I did the repair boots back to the top and still says I need to fix and can't find anything wrong and carries on in this circle.

  Now, I was told it could be the registry or there is a problem of graphics, I get pretty tired of having to install/reinstall/format this laptop.

  So if there is anyone who knows of what is wrong or what to do or whether it should be returned to fix, which will be very useful.

  I thank everyone in advance.

  Happy new year :)

  Hello

  Well, I think that it of really difficult to say what is the reason. Maybe the recovery disk is noisy or the files corrupted it.

  At the moment, I can t imagine what it s a hardware problem because other windows drive work properly.

  In your case, I would try to install Windows 7 from a Microsoft disc and then see what happens. If it works properly and that you can install all drivers & tools you need to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly.

• Satellite A45-S250: how to use the recovery CD if the DVD player does not work

  Hi all
  First of all, apologize for my English, I'm french :)

  So my problem is that I would like to re - install everything on an A45-S250 using the recovery CD.
  But the main problem is that the internal DVD player no longer exists.

  I try plugging in an external DVD drive, but the laptop won't start on it.

  I have seen that it can start with a disk, lan or SD card drive. But with opportunities of theses, how power reinstall everything include in the recovery CD?

  I may have a usb floppy drive, so I'll be able to boot from a bootable disk. but then how to start the process of recovery CD?
  I will prefer to use the recovery as a home standart WinXP CD, because I know that the OEM series will not work in an original version of Windows XP...

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello Kubs

  I see only one solution: you have to somehow use external DVD player and make it visible to your laptop. I try didn t, but I guess you need to start your laptop using WXP startdisc and load the MS-DOS driver for external device.
  If you will have success to access external hard drive I guess that you will be able to start the recovery procedure.

• Can I use the recovery discs HP on a new SSD for HP Envy Windows 8?

  Hello

  I've owned my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j105sa Notebook PC, Ref. F5D08EA for a few months now and I would like to upgrade to an SSD Samsung Evo 840 (500 GB) HARD drive.
  
  I use the recovery disks that I created when I got the laptop to install the OS on the new SSD? I know that I could do it with previous versions of Windows, but with secureboot etc I do not know if this can be done with Windows 8, I know, it can be disabled in the BIOS, but I have the latest bios update for my laptop that I check regularly.

  Thanks for any help.

  The method the most painless way to do is to buy the new SSD as a migration kit.

  Migration kits are delivered with a USB to SATA data\power connector and cloning software.

  Recovery and recovery usb media discs games requires that the target disk is the same size or larger than the original. In using the method of migration (cloning) will show that a problem.

  It makes you, thank you.

• Satellite 1805-S274: cannot reformat using the recovery CD!

  I'm trying to reformat my computer laptop 1805-s274 Toshiba, using the Toshiba Recovery disk, but it won't work! The computer made an attempt to play the disc (which is in good condition, not damaged).
  It goes to the "Welcome to Toshiba Recovery Utility" screen, and then when I press F1 to continue, it will to the "layout guard-Are you Sure you really want to do this?" screen. When I press 'C' to continue, it just goes back to the Toshiba start screen.

  It keeps doing this cycle, but nothing else. I had problems with my attack Windows registry. They won the battle?

  Help, please! Thank you.

  Bartski salvation,

  > but I can't make it work
  And does that mean exactly? You get an error message if you use recovery disks or if you are not able to boot from them?

  Use the recovery disks is very simple: enter the first DVD in your CD/DVD drive and restart your laptop. Depending on your model of laptop, press the F12 key to enter the BIOS boot menu, and then select the CD/DVD drive. Now, the computer starts from the CD/DVD drive with recovery disk. Then follow the instructions on the screen and Windows will re back reinstalled to factory settings (out of box).

  Check this box!

• Satellite A60: keyboard does not work, the recovery DVDs cannot run

  Hello

  I have a serious problem with my A60: the keyboard no longer works. I tried many solutions and the last of them, recovery with the Recovery DVD - ROM product does not work, because I can't use the keyboard!

  When the screen with the 3 choices, I have no opportunity to respond.
  Someone has an idea?

  Thanks a lot for your answer.

  They keyboard might not be the problem, or it may not be connected properly to the motherboard the best thing to do is to take it to a service center, it should not cost you anything, if it is still under warranty... but if it's just the keyboard and your laptop is out of warranty then it should cost more than 100-200... can't say how much exactly, because I have no idea.

• Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

  HII!

  IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

  The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
  They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

  Also...
  What's the deal with BIOS? : S
  I don't understand!
  If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

  Thank you!

  The restore CD will of course work.
  The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

  > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
  > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

  Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
  In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.
