  As far as I know on the second partition of HARD drive folder HDDRecovery is saved recovery image. When you start the installation of (F8 at startup) HARD disk recovery partition recovery image D will be installed on the C partition. In this case the D partition is not deleted. C just partition will be formatted before installation of recovery image begins.
  Just use F8 option and go fix my computer. Just follow the on-screen menu and choose the software factory default recovery option.
  > 2 If the disc is defective, how do I re - install supplied OS (vista) for a new HARD drive?
  After reading this question, I see you didn't read the document s user manuals. You need to create a recovery media (DVD recovery) and this recovery DVD you can use for recovery image installation if there is a problem with the HARD drive or you want to install original recovery image on the new HARD drive.
  3 > unrelated meanings, can I upgrade to Windows 7 (clean install) 32 or 64 bit version?
  Of course you can do it. Please visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and check if all the drivers, tools and utilities are available here. Of course before doing this, create recovery DVDs.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• How can satellite L300-19U - I reinstall Vista without having to work the DVD player?

  Hello

  I have a big problem with my laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.

  1 month ago I installed Windows XP on it and it is now my DVD-ROM is broken, he did not read some CD DVD so I can't use my Vista recovery DVD reinstall Vista. Someone at - it had the same problem?

  I heard there is a partition (hiden) where recovery is on it. I'm looking for this partition. And if I find it, I can boot directly from the partition to restore Vista? If not, is there another chance to get it back?

  Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

  Hello!

  The hidden partition you want to say is a feature of Windows Vista, but you can restore t Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.

  Restore Vista without recovery disc is possible if Vista is still installed on it. You can go into the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
  But like I said is possible with Vista installed.

  Just a question: why you n t to a service provider allowed? If your laptop is still under warranty, you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should take only a few days and then you're able to reinstall Vista! :)

• Satellite L300D - how to install Win 7 drivers?

  Hi, as you can see I am new to all this.

  I have a laptop Satellite L300D Vista Home Premium SP2.
  I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional.

  I am told that I have to do a clean update which will wipe my hard drive first.
  After that I installed Windows 7, how do I get all my drivers back please?

  I posted here because I din't know where to start.

  Thank you.

  Hi newtoallthis,

  Before starting with the installation of Windows 7, download all the drivers from the official Web of Toshiba site and check if all of the available drivers. I don t know what laptop you have exactly and if you install Windows 7 32 bit or 64 bit, but you can check yourself:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If you have found all the drivers, you can start with the installation of Windows 7. After that, install all the drivers. Generally, the order of installation is not so important but a friend installed Winodws 7 on L300 (little other model) and used this installation order:

  -Windows 7
  -Chipset driver
  -Display driver
  -Sound driver
  Driver LAN-
  -WLAN driver
  -Modem driver
  -Value Added Package
  -Flash Cards Support utility

  According to the model, the order and the amount of drivers is a little different. ;)

• Satellite L350 - want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition

  Hi all

  I want to reinstall Vista without touching the second partition that is full of data.
  I'll be able to do with this procedure? http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm#

  The confusing part is when it says in the explanation that the * entire hard drive * will be formatted (step 2) but on one of the photos, it is written that only data on C: will be erased.
  I have Satellite L350, and the hard drive recovery process is the same as on the connected tutorial before (I'm not completely obviously)

  Hi amigo

  I tested its operation, and from my experience, I can confirm that when you use the HDD recovery procedure as described in the Toshiba document all data saved on the second partition won t be deleted.

  Only if you are using recovery DVD (please create a) will be formatted the whole HARD disk.

• How to reinstall Vista?

  Hello!

  I need help. I have a Toshiba laptop and a few days ago I formatted with a friend who was supposed to know how to do. We have done with the restore cd that I had for vista, but in the process, we have deleted all partitions. My knowledge is very small, but I think that erase something (the recovery partition?) which was necessary to reinstall Vista because the CD does not work.

  Another friend told me that what I need now is an installation for Vista CD and that now that we have erased all my recovery CD does not work.

  Someone has an idea?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know what exactly you were doing, but normally you can reinstall the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc. It is a very easy procedure because you only have to make a few clicks. Disk erase the whole HARD drive but that s normal so Don t be to worry about this.

  Alternative, you can use a Microsoft Windows disk. Thus, you can also reinstall Vista, but after that, you will need to download and install all the drivers from the Toshiba site.

• Satellite L300 - can't reinstall Vista using the recovery disk

  My daughters Satellite L300 gave problems that seem to be hard disk errors.
  I installed a new hard drive and tried to reinstall vista from the recovery of the product CD.
  Partitions are created successfully and then I get an error "C:\program files\adobe\acrobat restoration...". several times followed by etc

  "image restoration of error."

  "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable."

  "Imagex error not to VISTA F:\06235XSP.svm Index 2 odd c:\!

  "Press a key to continue."

  And thye ned.

  All ideas

  Hello

  Hmm, looks like the laptop cannot restore the operating system from the recovery image
  To be honest I'm not very well why this error pops up but eventually it s m related to the new HARD drive installation.

  Perhaps, you can format the HARD drive again using a clean Microsoft Windows CD (Win XP, etc.).
  Boot from the CD of Win and format the HARD drive.
  Then go to the recovery disk, boot from the recovery disc and try reinstalling the operating system

  Maybe it would work

• Satellite L300D - how to get rid of the Aston Shell software

  Hello

  I bought a new computer Satellite L300D last month and was very happy with it.
  Unfortunately, yesterday, by chance, I ran a progrmme called Aston Shell.
  My computer the entire screen has changed.

  When it came to MacAffee, he asked if I wanted to change my registry. I hit on no.
  Now, it will not be closed properly, I don't know where to find my files. He also tells me that there is a trial, thirty days if I fear at the end of the thirty days that my computer will be any good.

  Someone told me I should be able to return to the Explorer of Windows through my preferences and my BONES should not be affected.
  I don't know what that means. It has been suggested also not uninstall Aston until I do it.
  Although I am grateful to that person to get advice here, I don't know what to do. I'm a little bit of panic.

  Can someone help me please. Thank you.

  Hello

  I think you should simply set the back bone to the point of time at the beginning.
  Vista and XP supports this feature called System Restore tool.

  Check this tool and turn the BONES until that time before the Aston shell has been installed.

  I think it should work!

• Satellite L300D - cannot downgrade from Vista to XP

  Yes, I realize that Vista to XP is technically a downgrade but in my current situation, its nothing but an upgrade.

  Right, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D-PSLC8A.

  I ve only had it for 3 months now and I've experienced various problems with it, the DEP, on the one hand, is a real problem.

  I ve had problems with my hard drive, began to really hurt at some point to the point she would have a continuous loop of repair and just wouldn t start correctly.
  I had it sent back under warranty, thinking it was a hardware failure, but apparently not, blah blah, whatever.

  My main problem right now is that I don't like Vista on this machine and have tried to format / install XP on it, several times, without success, using XP service pack 2, then one, then none

  Each time I boot from the CD, it will start the initialization components needed to launch the formatting and installing XP, gets to the point where it says "starting windows" downstairs, and it blue screens on me, every time.

  Now, I ve tried check disk, virus scans, I even got paranoid after this happening the first time and I have 3 firewall on this machine, but it's just will not work.

  Any suggestions or anything like that would be very useful

  Hello!

  BSOD code means you are using a wrong driver AHCI.

  You integrate the AHCI driver? To the Satellite L300D, you must download the display driver package because there you can find the AHCI driver. Then, copy the drivers on an external floppy drive and load after you have started from the CD by pressing F6. Or allows you to create your own nLite installation disc and then you don't need the external floppy drive. Here you can download: [www.nliteos.com].
  In addition you will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this audit as this!

  Alternatively, you can install XP without AHCI drivers if you change the mode in the compatible BIOS. But some users here reported that the AHCI mode is faster

• How to reinstall Vista without the disc?

  How do I clean reinstall vista without cd, I have the code thouh.

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
