Satellite L300 - Question about restore disks

Hello, woner if anyone can offer some advice, I recently had my laptop repaired due to a fall.

However, I thought the operating system needs to install. Confused as performed here, but instead to send back will do it myself.
I am running Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium, or it is a case of purchase of these discs and their execution, no idea about computers, don't know if there is another way. I did creat restore disks, but using them had constantly message saying waiting for the drive to become available, now it says only: insert installation discs.

Any advice appreciated help.

Hi tarajanes,

To be honest I really don't have a clue what you mean exactly because your ad is not very clear.

Are you using the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore windows? If so, you will need to insert this disk and boot of it. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

In case you get an error message: what message you get exactly?

  • Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

    Hello.

    I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

    Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
    One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

    Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

  • Satellite A100 - question about recovery disk

    When I bought my Toshiba laptop, I received a product with her recovery disk.
    At first, I thought it was the recovery of the whole Windows XP (OS which was preinstalled) but on the back cover of the case, he said only "Windows Office One Note"

    So this product for a recovery notes only?

    Yes, it looks like a recovery disk from Toshiba which would format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the operating system preinstalled together.

  • Satellite L300 - Download the recovery disk?

    Hey there,

    can anyone help? I got a Satellite L300 and today I wanted to reset everything. So, I started a recovery of the product. Too bad I haven't checked the DVD before you start. It struck although I use it before. So recovery stopped in the middle of nowwhere. I can't complete recovery - I can't launch computer - and I can't copy the disc on another computer (tried of course).

    Is there a site where I can download a disk image of the recovery of product anywhere?

    Thank you!

    Hey horst,.

    You can download t the Toshiba Recovery disk, but you can order a new one by clicking here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    By the way: If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed you can also use HARD drive recovery option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. After that, you have factory again and you can create a new recovery disk.
    But remember: it is only possible on preinstalled OS. I guess it is Vista?

  • Re: Satellite P200 - question about the recovery part

    I have a Satellite P200 and a recovery disk. I don't want to use this as it clears my disk clean C: and E: which has all my data on it.

    Is there a restore button to factory settings which affects the C: drive and let E: in tact? I thought I read somewhere that there was.

    Hello

    If you have the Satellite P200, something like this is not possible. Unfortunately, before the recovery procedure starts the disk HARD integer will be deleted (formatted). Before you begin recovery procedure back up all your important data to an external device, or burn it to DVD-R/RW support.

  • Question about virtual disk

    I have a qustion about virtual disks

    I assigned 5 GB on a virtual disk. Then I realized that I need more space, so I changed to 20 GB.

    When I have energised the VM, it always complained not enough space. Even if I 'clearpart-set' in the startup script.
    I ended up remove the virtual disk and create a new one to solve the problem.

    "It seems that this partition table/information is always on the disc and kickstart' cleartpart all ' did not clean.

    How to solve the problem? instead of creating a new virtual disk?

    Thank you!

    Have you tried the laptop on another router? Maybe it s a router publish then updated the firmware, set it back to factory settings and set it up again.

    Hello

    My hard drive is dead (completely) 3 days out of warranty.
    Recovery discs has not yet loaded, all I had was a black screen and a mouse pointer.

    So I bought a new hard drive. Problem I have now is how to install Windows on a new drive.
    What should I get Toshiba?

    I obviously paid for Windows Vista, when I bought the laptop, so I'm a little confused on what to do next.
    A restore disk will work on a whole new drive?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Didn t drive recovery does not happen with the laptop because you had an option to create one using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator.

    You now have this disc which can be ordered here:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    Boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen.
    The recovery disk works also with the new HARD drive!

  • Satellite L300-1 year - HARD disk speed

    Could you please tell me the speed of the HARD drive on this model, if it's a 5400 RPM as said of all the stores, or 4200 RPM, like Toshiba have a bad habit to use?

    I find it absolutely ridiculous that this information is not indicated on the page of the manufacturer for this model: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-L300-1AN/1058123/

  • Satellite C650 - Question about the capacity of the HARD disk

    I just bought a Satellite C650. The specifications indicate 320 GB hard drive, but the diagnostic system indicates the disk space is 286 GB (free capacity is GB 261).

    Please indicate why this might be the case.

    Hi 12345,

    It is normal that you lose disk space after formatting the drive. 286GB is the normal capacity of a formatted hard drive 320, so everything is ok with your laptop.

    If you want to learn more about capacity on hard drives and need more technical information, why you only 286GB you can read this interesting Wiki:

  • Satellite A100-049: Question about HARD disk space

    My new laptop has a 120 GB hard drive. It is partitioned into 2 drives. My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software on it yet it shows 18 used and only 37 GB free. Can someone tell me why it does not show 2 and 55 GB free.

    Hello

    > My question is that the C drive has only 2 GB of software top

    I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
    I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

    You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18
    What's the problem?

  • Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

    My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

    So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

    I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

    Hey,.

    Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

    So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

    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.
